Notification and Lock screen - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So now that we have the new cm12 officially released i am having some issues with the new way notifications and the lock screen works.
To explain:
Whats annoying to me is that when i set my phone to vibrate only (so set sound profile to all) but with the settings to not show the messages on the lock screen, i cant see if i have any notifications at all.
The top notification bar will instead show my provider instead of the icons of lets say whatsapp.
Is there a way to change this?
Next to that have to admit that the priority thing is confusing to me,, i'm never sure what means what and what will actually happen with which setting.
The other issues is the lockscreen, i have a pattern protection setup, and waking the device up should bring me to this screen and not an extra useless lock screen where i have to swipe up so i can do my pattern.
I know its nice if you need quick access to an app like camera, but i dont want it.
anyway to change this?

i have no answer, but i also would like to change the way notifications appear on the lock screen.
i miss the icons in the notification bar. i don't want to see a large rectangle letting me know if there is a text or other notification.
the speed at which the pattern appears is cute the first time, but after that it's excruciating. would like it to just appear.

New features in 4.3 and Sense 5.5

I have found a list with new features for the One here. Mostly all apply for the One mini.
New things:
Do Not Disturb, very cool thing that simply sets phone in Do No Disturb mode. You can set for how long and who/to be excluded from it. Turns of sound, notifications and all such things that might disturb. Accessed for the pull down quick settings menu.
Gallery have changed a lot. Albums now have a tiled look much like events, and you can now see your HTC Shares and even delete those (and see how much space there's left there). Video highlights got all new themes, and you can even add your own music.
In Camera Sweep Panorama can now be both landscape or portrait. Camera UI changed a bit, you see text Zoe under the Zoe button. And when you start Camera you see how many photos and minutes video there's left on the phone's storage.
With screen lock active, swipe to the left in the upper right part of the screen. Then you get a + sign where you can add screen lock widgets.
Under Call in Settings you have Phone Notification Preview, which shows you caller ID missed calls on screen lock and status bar.
If you don't want both lock screen and security screen you can disable screen lock (you need a security lock first) under Settings > Security > Bypass lock screen on wake.
Select what kind of notifications you want on lock screen under Settings > Security > Notification Settings. You can select: Phone (shows missing calls), Voice mail, Text messages, Emails and Calendar.
Select if you want Music playback controls on not on your lock screen under Settings > Security > Music Playback
With Developer options active, option Stay awake is now back. Which keeps the display on while charging.
Pull down quick settings menu can now be customized, with up to 12 quick settings.
In Weather app you can now select temperature scale under Settings.
You can add your Google+ account in Blinkfeed.
Disable Blinkfeed by long pressing empty area of a regular screen, then tapping “Blinkfeed on” on the upper left hand corner. Which turns Blinkfeed off.
Under Sleep mode in Settings > Power, you can now set start and end of Sleep mode or have it set as Auto.
With phone turned off: alarms can now turn phone on, then trigger the alarm. And when you dismiss the alarm phone gets turned back to its previous state (off), this is a major thing.
Zoom-bar in camera is hidden, you pinch-zoom to control zooming (zoom-bar is shown when you pinch-zoom).
Connect charger to phone while it's off while show a charging “animation” on the display for a while.
Things different from Sense 5.0, things that are “missing”:
Screen lock option gone from Personalize, there is no settings for any kind of screen lock theme under Settings. You can’t set screen lock theme to “none”, and there is no way to set wallpaper for lock screen since screen lock themes are gone.
T9 layout gone from stock keyboard.
Known bugs:
With Animations turned OFF under Developer options, Share menus and things will simply not work. It affects more than just one thing, so: keep animations ON. So, if you're affected: Set all Animations to 1 and restart phone (that part is important).
In lock screen you can add some widget: swipe to left and click + icon
You can also "personalize" lock screen from settings/security/notification but just for missing calls and sms !
With Sense 5 you can set also email and calendar, the ones that now I miss !!!!
Edit: after some test I'm really disappointed that even with missing calls and SMS notification active they don't came on lock screen but only in notification bar, so this is also a bug !

Oh no! These are two of the features I enjoy most! So, no more weather animations on screen lock at all???

You can still put widgets on lock screen, while on lockscreen swipe to the left in the right top corner. There's also a small arrow, press on the "+" and add a widget but I think it's not possible anymore to add it on the main lockscreen :/ yea I miss a notification system like Apple has. Google should built it in, in android and give the devs the option to add it into there apps like Apple do

Hi,
I'm back to screen lock bug notification win Sense 5.5...
To be sure of this bug, before I contact htc support, can someone do a test ?
It's easy: set the notification for Text Message, go screen off and ask a friend to send a sms to you; when received wakeup screen and check notification if it is only in notification bar or also in lock screen...
Thanks.
Confirmed that text & missed call notiications don't show on lockscreen.
Also, I can only add 1 lockscreen widget it seems - once added, swiping to left again does nothing. Is this by design?
Thanks for confirming the lock screen notifications bug...
Yes, I think only one widget is by design (the widget can occupy all the screen...)

But then can't add any more widget screens to the right? That really sucks. It's always 1 step forward, 2 steps back with HTC ...
Maybe I didn't understood...
In lock screen you can add only 1 widget, but in normal screen you can have many pages with a lot's of widgets...
bug with log screen confirmed, regardless, disabled or enabled in security settings, I can not see notifications for missed calls or messages on lock screen. Can we install some app from the market in order to fix this issue (while waiting for HTC to fix it)?
Another nice new feature is the option to adjust the Automatic Brightness setting - can now set the maximum brightness value, works a bit like iOS.
Also the Music Player widgets now have a blue circle around the play icon to indicate duration of track remaining.
Anyone else finding that the Airplane widget takes you to settings now, instead of toggling Airplane mode? I'm no longer getting the rolling Airplane animation.

I confirm, it also takes me to settings. As a solution you can set airplane mode in the notification bar toggles.

Hi! I am confirming the bug with missing notifications on lock screen on my One Mini. HTC support had no knowledge about this bug. Are there any work-arounds to get notifications on lock screen? All apps I have found can show notifications on second (swipe right) lock screen only and it does not work for me.
I do not have this bug on my HTC One (not mini) with same Sense version.
Regards!
In gallery, i can :
- make gif from my video
- apply custom effect
---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------
But somehow, i never can display my gallery content in blinkfeed. Any solution?
For lockscreen notifications i use Nils new floating panel. Really best solution so far. Its still in Beta but working great
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk 4
I have only 'Phone calls' and 'Text Message' in the security -> notifications. No emails / calendar.
Also wondering if I'm the only one who's music is suddenly stuttering every now and then since 4.3 (more an Android 4.3 thing than a Sense 5.5 thing I guess)

I can confirm this. On BT the music is hanging randomly, this is very annoying. If it's the same with cable, then this is a huge bug.
Reading here there seem to be a lot of down sides to the new 4.3 update. that or it's still in it's early stages of development? I'm still using 4.2.2 and loving it, but was wondering if there was anything major I'm missing by not upgrading?

This is enough for me for an upgrade :good: :good:

[Q] Android 5 & Pinned Notifications

I'm running lollipop (Pure.White if you're interested) and its near perfect. The challenge I'm currently facing is around Quick Settings not being customizable, forcing me to go back to Power Toggles. But, when using Power Toggles and a couple alternatives, the toggles show up on the lock screen. Anybody come across alternatives that don't show on lock screen?
I believe this is theoretically possible. The notification telling me my Pebble watch is connected shows in the drawer, but not on the lock screen. Thanks all.
OK, sorted this out on my own. For anyone else, you want to make sure the app is using the lowest priority notification. In Power Toggles, that's "Not pinned and no icon" under Notification Position. You lose the ability to have it permanently at the top of your notifications, but that's minor.

Notifications displayed on default lock screen

Hi,
I would like to make my phone's screen light up periodically when it's locked and I receive notifications.
My phone does not have a pulse notification LED and it does not have any other means of showing persistent alerts for notifications when the screen is locked.
I have sen many apps that replace the default lock screen and generally require a lot of permissions, change the lock screen design, wallpaper, unlocking method and mess up / complicate things unnecessarily in general.
What I had in mind is a very simple concept but I don't know if it exists or if it is possible, because it may consume too much battery or maybe Android just does not allow it.
I would like my regular lock screen (which already shows that I have notifications, by the way) to light up for ~1 second every ~1 minute until the notifications are dismissed when I have notifications. Ideally that would be customizable somewhere.
To save battery, if the front camera detects no light (i.e: the phone is in the pocket or turned down) then it would not light up the screen, assuming the camera does not consume more battery than this would.
Could someone help me find the closest thing to something like that?
Thanks.

Thanks.
That app is close to what I want, but if I understand it correctly, it turns on the screen when I receive a notification for a period of time, and then it turns off for good.
Ideally, it would do the same function as the notification LED: turn on and off repeatedly until the notifications are dismissed.
I'll give it a try though, and see what it does.

Lock screen notification issues on Nougat

I'm having very inconsistent lock screen notifications on Nougat after the update. I'm on the stock theme with Magazine Unlock.
Update: It appears as if new notifications display on the lock screen. As soon as you unlock the screen, then re-lock it, the notifications disappear from the lock screen even if they're still active in the notification tray. This is not how lock screen notifications are supposed to work, AFAIK and as far as I remember from Marshmallow and other ROMs as well.
Global:
When device is locked: Show all notification content
If device is locked, prevent typing (...) [unchecked]
Screen lock secured with PIN, fingerprint unlock enabled
App specific (In this example, 'Slack'):
Allow notifications [checked]
Display on the lock screen [checked]
When locked: Hide notification content [checked] (tried this set both ways, no difference)
I don't see any lock screen notifications with these settings. In the case of Slack above, I have active notifications in my status bar and I don't see them on the lock screen.
I went to bed last night with nothing displaying, woke up and I saw Calendar, Gmail, etc on my lock screen. Used my phone a bit, re-locked display, turned screen on, and back to no notifications. This morning though, Tasker is now showing in my lock screen (as it should) but none of my other apps are showing on the lock screen.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
I have a similar problem.
I have just upgraded to Nougat, EVA-L09C432B360, and I have no notification on status bar on screenlock. I find it annoying. Didn't find any work around.
Once the screen is unlocked I find the notification on status bar.
I dont want to have the notification displayed as a banner but only in status bar.
It's very annoying. I didn't have this problem on Marshmallow with the VUi Material Design theme, maybe once he gets a version for EMUI 5.0 it'll start working again.
I've just upgraded to B378, but still I got no notification in status bar of the lock screen ( nor aquamail or whatsapp). It might be the applications in fault here.
I just got a brand new Honor 8 which immediately upgraded to Nougat, and this seems to be the default behaviour for lockscreen notifications on EMUI, not an issue or a bug.
Since EMUI is heavily iOS inspired, and this is the notification behaviour on iOS then they copied it. I suggest trying a different lockscreen app until Huawei changes this.
That is caused by the theme used.
Go to themes, customize, lockscreen style, and be sure that you have selected #unlock with images"
I have only magazine unlock option. This did not solve the problem.
I'm having the exact same problem on my P10 lite (it came with Nougat out-of-the-box).
Has anyone figured this out? I don't have unlock with images option either..
As mentioned earlier - EMUI does not use the standard Nougat lockscreen notification actions. Do not expect it to work like stock android. The only way around it is to do one of these two options:
1. Install a 3rd party launcher (be careful, some don't play nicely with fingerprint/pin security)
2. Install Nils Lock Screen Notification app from the Play Store. This app does exactly what you want and lets you keep the stock lock screen.
Had the same issue with Gmail notifications using an Honor 8. The solution I found was hidden in Gmail Settings.
Open Gmail settings
Click on your email account(s) under the General settings
Make sure Notifications is checked
Select Inbox sound and vibrate
Make sure Label notifications is checked
This was the missing piece for me: Make sure the Notify for every message is checked
Screenshots of Gmail Settings
Also make sure you have changed the default email app to Gmail. Settings, Apps, Settings (wheel that appears at the bottom of the screen), Default app settings, Email - Gmail.
I had the same problem before. To fix it you have to enable the magazine unlock after apply the theme.

A few bugs/problems.

Screen lock bug
Whenever I swipe down from the top of the screen to where my notifications are. I can't toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, auto rotate, etc without it locking my screen after I press it. I am however able to use screenshot and record, and I'm not sure what other toggles do it.
Developer options bug
I'm not sure what causes it, but every few days, the "show taps" that I always have enabled gets disabled and I have to re-enable it.
Honor theme editor bug
For the most part, it works. But after I create the new theme and apply it. I only have a few of the button icons I chose (home button, back button, etc)
Wallpaper bug
Again, I'm not sure what causes this, but every once in awhile, my wallpaper of my phone changes (I use Next Launcher, but I'm pretty sure it started before I installed it)
I think I'm missing 1 or maybe 2, but I can't think of them at the moment.
Please and thank you for your time.

Whenever I push any of the toggle buttons, they work. But a lot of them lock my screen after I press them and I need to re unlock my phone.
Developer options bug
--- Don't know what u mean show taps
After you unlock the Android developer options.
There's an option you can enable to show a white circle each time you touch the screen. And it somehow gets disabled after awhile. Never had this problem on other phones.
Wallpaper bug
---From which picture is changed your pict? Is setup default pic for Next launcher or some random pic from your phone?
I set my background of my phone from a picture from gallery. But sometimes the background pic gets set back to default for no reason.

So there's no way to fix the screen lock? Cuz it's kinda annoying that I have to turn the phone screen on again just cuz I enable/disable WiFi, Bluetooth, auto rotate, etc
