Since the latest update, the pull down menu is working differently on my s10e:
Normally, when you pull down the menu, you get 1 row of quick buttons and then the notifications.
Now, since the update, when I pull down i get all the quick buttons and no notifications! But this happens only when the sceen is locked. When the screen is unlocked, the pull down menu works normally
Any ideas?
I figured out that to view notifications on the lock screen you have to press the notification icon. Previously you could view them in the pull down menu. I guess this is a new feature ?

I have HTC Sense disabled on my Today screen so it looks like a basic today screen. When I lock the phone, it shows the sliding unlock icon. When I slide to unlock I need to enter my PIN to use the phone (forced due to work email security). Sometimes when I turn the phone back on after the screen has turned off due to inactivity, the screen is blank (the sliding unlock icon isn't visible). The only things I can see are the top row (clock, speaker icon, signal/data icon, battery remaining icon, QuickMenu icon, and Start button). None of the items in the top row respond except for QuickMenu, but nothing in there functions since it is still locked. I end up having to soft reset the phone. I am using the most current stock ROM WM6.5.
Anyone seen such a problem or know how to fix it? Is there a program like QuickMenu that has an "unlock" link in the menus? I wonder if that could be a workaround. Thanks.
Hey,
I have a problem with the launch bar with my One S.
The thing is that, the shortcuts i drag on the launch bar will also appear on the lock screen, but one icon doesn't change on the lock screen.
I had my girlfriends quick contact on the launch bar, changed it to an app, but on the lock screen, there is still the shortcut for her quick contact.
It only changes in the lock screen, when i make a folder out of it. Single shortcuts turn back to her quick contact(only on lock screen, when unlocked the icon is what i changed it to)
Funny thing is that there is only problem with the 2nd-from-right slot. All other slots change as i want.
Any ideas? Have tried all sorts of tehniques, like switching the lock screen shortcut option on & off, restarting several times, cleared cache of lockscreen apps, changed lock screens, etc.
Factory reset definately would help, but this is a last resort
Thanks in advance
I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?
Am I the only one facing this problem?

Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.
I am using power toggles which creates a custom extension to the notification window when you pull the notifications down. Its useful for having quick toggle buttons. I notice that you can swipe it away and it will not come back unless you reopen the application. In other skins you cannot swipe it away it stays locked.
I carry my Pixel XL in a holster and apparently I manage to hit the upper right (power) button, and volume key, turning my phone to silent....I do this constantly causing me to miss notifications. With the screen locked, I can push the upper right button (power button) and even though the screen IS STILL locked, I can access the upper menu. Is there any way to lock these functions when the screen is locked. Anyone messing with my phone can access a lot of the functions in the upper menu, even though the phone is locked. I've tried about everything I can think of, restarting phone, turning Ambient functions on/off....nothing figured out.
I have searched for an answer, but haven't located one. What I've seen is that with the OS/Pixel Setup, there is not a way to lock the volume or secure the upper menu screen on screen-lock. My Galaxy S5 completely locked, my friends iPhones completely lock.
As a temporary fix on the volume issue, I've downloaded "Volume Lock". It locks my volume, but my upper menu is still accessible.

Smart Lockscreen Protector works for keeping the power button from bringing up the power menu, but sadly when Android 8.1 came out on the Pixel, the app's option to block the status bar pulldown has been broken. It had worked perfectly before that. The app was last updated almost a year ago. I have happily purchased the Premium version, which might've been necessary to get it to auto-start (at least, built into the app auto-start). I may email the author and ask about that feature on Android 8.1.
I don't understand why this isn't standard or at least presented as an option.
FYI, even on Android 8.0 on some different devices than the Pixel, the app isn't able to block the status bar pulldown.
Edit: I emailed him.
