wake screen app on marshmallow - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've updated my nexus 5 to marshmallow 2 days ago, and got a problem.
with lollipop I've used app called "screen notifications"
to wake my screen whenever I get a notification, but on marshmallow it seems to have compatibility problem. though it wakes the screen, the notification has no sound.
I've tried other apps which should do the same, every one of them seem to have the same soundless prob.
any suggestions?
I could really use this wake up feature

Try AcDisplay, it works on 6.0 and has the functionality what you wish for. (Im not able to link from the playstore, do a search, you will find it.)

thanks man, but acdisplay changes the lockscreen and the way notifications seen, so it's not option. someone else?

You can try NILS, but it has a problem with notification sounds.

[Q] wake up screen when notification arrives

hi, there is an app or a mod\tweaks that allow to turn on the screen (without unlock) when a notification arrives and when the screen turns off (after 5/6 seconds) the led continue to blink until the notification will read?? I use ROM based on 4.2.2. I found SCREEN NOTIFICATION (on play store) works but... when the screen turns off the LED stop to blink!!!!:crying:
thanks for the advice! :fingers-crossed:

I know there's options in Tweaks when you have a custom ROM on a rooted phone. However, give this a whirl! It's completely free from the play store: look up SMS WakeUp it sounds like what you're looking for, not sure if it does the notification light like you wanted, but i'd imagine it would. I haven't posted more than 10 posts here, otherwise I'd post the link here.
Let me know if it works.
With Tasker you can do that, I think, in Secure Settings plugin there is an option to wake up the screen, and as I remember, there is also a function to let the led blink.

There isn t any ROM tweaks. And SMS wakeup doesn t let the led blinking when the screen turn off.
Profile is activated when notification comes in, then if Screen is off -> Secure Settings Screen on, wait 5 seconds and Notify LED. Maybe you can add something that the Notification will be deleted when read. This is just created on my mind, if I knew how to export a profile I will try to do one for you

[Q] How to keep incoming sms from turning on the screen

I have looked through all of the options and can not find a way to turn off screen wake triggers by sms with Google hangouts on 4.4.2
Any way to do this?

Hangouts will not wake the screen. There isn't even a setting to do so.
It could be from another app listening for notifications such as lightflow.

yup. one of the 55 reasons i switched to a rom with LED control. lightflow was sent to destroy us all...
Thanks for the response guys - it must be lightflow even though I don't have that option enabled. I will figure it out I guess.
Loving the phone and just got franco v20 on so im looking forward to an even better experience

Nasty bug when replying to message from a pop-up window in the lock screen (Lollipop)

Hi.
I'm experiencing a nasty little bug when I try to reply to a message from a quick reply window when the screen is locked.
This is what happens:
If the screen is off and I get message in an app that has the quick reply feature in lock screen enabled, as soon as I tap the text field the screen starts flickering horribly, like switching very rapidly between the lock screen and the quick reply window trying to open the keyboard. It feels like the phone is going to explode. I first noticed this when trying out Telegram, I thought it was an issue with that particular app, but then I enabled the feature in Whatsapp just to test, and the same thing happened.
Could this be a Lollipop bug? I don't know much about this stuff, hopefully someone can shed some light here.
I'll try to upload a screen record later in case I'm not explaining myself (which is likely due to my limited English vocabulary).
EDIT: Ok, here's the screen record -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9d_PiQ9zA&index=1&list=UUJBPMHNSOxSqUiEkqtQiTRg (I know I should've covered my contact's name but I didn't know how to. I trust you won't murder her )
Thanks in advance.

Ok, the problem is with the Keyboard (Swiftkey), Google keyboard works fine in this situation. It has already been reported in the Swiftkey forum.
lollipop flickers when replying whatsapp messages at lock screen
I do not have swiftkey installed in my nexus 5 but also having issue of flickering.

Hmm. Also with quick reply windows in lock screen?
Correct. Try to reply whatsapp message at the lock screen and the screen goes crazily flickering. It flickers then get frozen for 10 seconds or so. If I agree to send a report to Android, it allows me to unlock the phone, then minimize the reporting screen, goes into whatsapp to reply.

Have you tried with other apps with quick reply feature? If not, try it just to see. Also, what keyboard do you use? I don't see this with the Google stock keyboard

I use a keyboard called TouchPal. The problem only occurs when the screen gas security lock. If the screen is not locked, no issues.
I have the same issue with Nexus 4 and Swiftkey. Had to switch back to Google keyboard.
Exact same problem, different variables.
I have this EXACT same issue on my OPO. It occurs with my handcent popups windows and I use TouchPal. It looks like its flickering back and forth between the on screen notification of incoming texts and the popup window. If I disabled the notifications, the popup window still flickers.
From the sounds of the above posts, its not limited to which keyboard or app popup but more likely the lollipop lockscreen.... (I am running latest CM12 nightly but its been happening ever since Ive gone to lollipop)
Cant wait until this problem is pinned down.

Lock Screen Notifications.

Hey all,
For the life of me I can't get notifications to show up my lock screen. I have tried enabling it in settings but no dice. Even when I put down the notification bar on the lock screen it is still empty. Any help would be appreciated as this is getting a bit annoying.

If you have already anable lockscreen notification then you must check from general settings, apps and one by one check
the menu notification if you have anable lockscreen notification there too

Tyvm. Would you happen to know if there is any way to show all items that are currently in notification bar on my lock screen and not just newly received/unread items? I like to have access to my Play Music and Pocket Cast notification widgets all times.

I emailed Huawei Tech Support yesterday regarding this issue. I was prompted to call in to tech support for further assistance, and told by a service rep that this is a known software issue. Along with led notification light also, she then created a ticket for me... I asked her if there would be an update correcting the issue soon? She placed me on a brief hold then returned stating that; "eta should be about mid March!" ?
I refused to trouble shoot with her due to the phone surprisingly deciding to display notifications and notification light by itself!
After pressing lock button and viewing lockscreen again, NOTHING BUT DATE & TIME.... It's been intermittent ever since, although play music seems to efficiently control lock screen with image and track controls every time!

Why do they say it's a known issue when some, like me, do get notifications? Although, I do notice that I do not always get notifications from my news app, etc. But in whole, I am getting my Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, CNN, nottifications. You are not getting anything at all in your lockscreen?
I'm using the US version

Yes throughout the day I will see them, but they're inconsistent, and intermittent! For example just listening to a music app during one record I can power on screen... see title and artist... Power off screen.... 5 secs later, power on screen.... Noting! It's the same thing with messages, they should remain there "on lock screen" until they're are checked or acknowledged, via lock screen, home screen, or task bar!
US version as well, and it's same with led notification light!?

Did you make sure that those apps that you want to receive notifications from aren't set to sleep when the screen Locks?

I appreciate it! After checking here all my apps are set to "don't close".
*Bump* Guys has this issue been consistently fixed with the latest updates? This was honestly my only legitimate knock on the Mate 9 software... Appreciate your input! Thanks!
You need to go to the themes app and enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings. It's the one one that will allow notifications on the lock screen.

Confirmed from my side. Enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings is mandatory to get notifications .

Definitely confirmed. I am using magazine unlock and constantly get lock screen notifications. Also yes to media controls for casting, music play etc. Huawei should make it clear in manual that only way to get lock screen notifications it to use magazine unlock.
Now go rebuy the Mate 9. It's an excellent phone ?

Thanks as well and... Yes Sir! ?
Guys, sorry to rehash this issue, but has anyone figured out how to ALWAYS display the notifications in the notifications tray to the lockscreen? I bought the phone again, but I'm not seeing the notifications mirrored in the unlocked phone's notification trade... Like EVERY other Android phone. Let me explain:
I get a WhatsApp message, it will show up on the lockscreen. Say I then unlock the phone, don't do ANYTHING to the WhatsApp notification. The phone locks again and this time... No notification on the lock screen, despite me not acknowledging it!
Has anyone been able to solve for me? Perhaps a other lock screen app you use maybe?
Thank you! This phone is so perfect, the software is slightly off though, but maybe you guys have this solution! ?
Same thing here, I think all you can do is wait for an update, but don't get your hopes up ...

Thank you for the input, friend. All these updates since launch, can't believe they haven't fixed something that is native across all other Android phones... I wonder if their other phones with EMUI do the same thing? Can anyone confirm?
If there really are no other options... Can you guys recommend alternative lock screen apps you may be using? I tried Flotify, but the stupid thing didn't display the Music player or YouTube casting controls on the lockscreen and the quick reply was weak... ?
Thank you!

It displays Spotify controls anyway, although a bit too big :/
Sad thing about Floatify is that the timeout of your screen is always set to 30 seconds, regardless of what you set it to in Settings - display. Until you pay for pro... Then you can change it.
I did however notice that Spotify functions without Floatify now. I'm on c432B185. I wonder if Huawei fixed it. A lot of other notifications that wouldn't display on lockscreen before works as well.

Yes Sir - YouTube casting, TuneIn Radio also work without the Flotify lockscreen, however, other notifications I have tested, Google, WhatsApp, Textra, etc... show up once, you unlock the phone, not check the notifications, come back, and it's no longer there !
I cannot believe this does not bother anyone else, other than you and I, it seems !

OH yeah. Just did notice Textra only displays once. It could be some kind of "security". :/

Question Touchscreen stays active for around a second after locking.

Has anyone else got this bug? After locking the phone, the screen will stay active (even though the display is off) for around a second.
I've noticed the fingerprint icon flashes once after a second at the same time.
It's quite annoying if like me, you lock it and immediately shove it into your pocket within a second, as I sometimes unlock it to find I'm in an email or an app I didn't remember being in.

Yeah, but you need to be quite quick to trigger something on the screen. I tried to do it on purpose and I can replicate the issue 9 out of 10 times )).
Hoping for a fix in the next update.
This is getting worse. Screen stays active around 3 seconds after locking it. I can see there is a quick refresh of the lock screen when it's really locked. It's really annoying now as I feel like I need to wait for this until I can safely put it in my pocket.
this doesn't happen when using nova launcher's gestures (double tap => lock screen). maybe works with an 3rd party app from playstore too, or custom kernel with double tap to sleep or some magisk mod?

What lock method do you use in Nova? Accessibility, Device Admin, or root?
ouch, now you got me... I think it was accessibility. I took the one which enabled fingerprint usage after locking via nova gesture. I think it was accessibility, jep
edit: had time to look at phone now, it's accessibility

Okay. accessibility or root. I still get that delay after locking, even with Nova double tap. It's just one blink a couple seconds after locking. I notice the clock blink once. Honestly, I wouldn't have even noticed it had it not been posted here..

Yep, I uses Nova double tap to sleep/Accessibility and do not have this issue
+1 on using Nova Launcher. I cannot produce this problem if i tried.
