[Q] Notification icons missing with lollipop update - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The notification icons in the upper left hand of the screen used to appear on the lock screen to show me if I had emails or texts. Now they don't show up since I downloaded the lollipop update. Anyone know how to get them back?
Thanks.

As I noticed that is little different than it was before. Check if you did not disable it in the settings. See the screenshot.

That seems to show the pop ups on the lock screen but not just the little icons. Maybe I'm missing something else...

[Q] dashed

I've updated to 3.1 recently and I notice on the bottom right of the screen to the left of the time there is a dash, I'm sure this mark wasnt there before, what's it meant to represent LOL
Not there on mine. Do you have anything in the notification area?
I do not. Maybe it is a separator of some sort if you have notifications.
I've found that when I disabled Notifications (in that settings pane after you've tapped the clock) it causes the dash icon to appear.
If you tap the dash, it should tell you what it is - at least that's what I get
Possibly post a screenshot from your device to show us the icon

[Q] New Message banner on lock screen

Has anyone noticed that when you tap a new message notification on the lock screen a clear white box pops up below? Isn't it supposed to open the messaging app when you tap on it? This happens even when my unlock Pin has not been triggered yet. I would post a screen shot but it goes away when I try to.

I guess the requirement for the swipe in the bottom prevents from accidentally unlocking you phone when its in your pocket.
My question is, how do I add more applications to that lock screen thing? I would like to use other apps, other than just text and missed calls.

That stuff is all in settings>my device>lockscreen. Add shortcuts, widgets, change the banner text or change the banner to clock....
Here's a question: on my s3 when I would get a text it would tell me who it was from on the lockscreen and the first few lines of the text would scroll by in my status bar, I'm wondering if anybody knows of a mod to give me this feature on the s4? Or if there's a mod for a popup message/quick reply with the stock messenger?

If you go into settings in the messaging app there is an option to turn on Preview.

There is no swipe at the bottom just a blank clear box that pops up when I tap on the message. I'm thinking maybe if I add some favorite apps to the lock screen thats where they would show up and since I havent set any its just blank. I will try this out.

If you are using the swipe to unlock feature. The default unlock with the phone, that clear box is the widget that reads the swipe.

Whatsapp notification problem..

Hi there, I'm facing a problem with the notification in WhatsApp, when I get a message and let's say I'm chrome or any other app it's only shows the WhatsApp icon on the notification bar, but if I don't remember it wrong it should at leats show me something like new message from "anywho" and then the icon, or even give me the option to fast reply showing me the whole message but it's not doing any of this, only the icon and I have to draw the notification bar just to see who is texting me..
It's this the way it's supposed to work? Cuz is driving me crazy..
I have last marshmallow stock build with July security patch, unlocked and rooted with EX-kernel and a theme called Milos using layers manager, dunno if that have something to do with it..
Ty, guys.

Nougat lacking features?

It seems like the official Nougat builds are really horrible when it comes to notifications. I no longer have the option to turn on the display when receiving a notification, which is huge. But on top of that, I don't seem to get any notifications on the lock screen at all, or "heads up" notifications (the notifications that drop down from the top of the screen while it's on temporarily). Am I wrong? Have others gotten this stuff working? I am on AL10.
Well I got lock screen stuff going, it was just defaulting to disabled. But there seems to be no option to wake the display for notifications.

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10. Just got the phone 2 days back and I installed Android Nougat 7.0 directly from Huawei using Huawei ID.
I found a setting that may be the one or at least close to it.I also checked if the notification is displaying on the lock screen and it does. I have attached the screenshots.
When I unlock the phone and check the notifications they are there until I swipe them out. They are displayed beautifully. Unfortunately taking screenshot of that was bit difficult as the knuckle thing didn't work so well. I managed to get these. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers!

I had an issue similar to this on 6.0, it was an issue with themes. Do you have anything under the screen lock style menu, under screen lock and passwords? I have a feeling thats my issue.
Screen lock style - screen lock passwords

Hi,
I checked under screen lock and passwords
options listed are
password, secure lock settings , smart unlock - under the subheading of "passwords"
under "lock screen"
screen lock style, magazine unlock and lock screen signature
under screen lock style
it just displays magazine unlock and when you click that it displays the same wallpaper and asks to apply.
under "magazine unlock settings"
subscriptons, auto-update over WLAN and auto-delete covers
There is a separate application called "Themes" and it shows all the themes. They all look alike but there is no download or edit options available. Even if we want to change or edit those themes, it seems like root is required. Are you rooted?
I have enclosed more screenshots to explain better. Hope you find what you are looking for, if I missed something please let me know if you want screenshot of any other menu or screen.
Cheers!

How to show notification icons on status bar on lock screen

Hello,
I have POCO M3, MIUI Global 12.0.4, android 10 QKQ1. I really like the phone but there is one thing that drives me mad and that is the fact that the status bar with all notification icons is not visible on the lock screen. In the place where the icons should be, there is just the information about the network provider.
I have tried to look for the way to keep the status bar on the lock screen but to no avail. CustoMIUIzer has the option to keep the floating notification on the lock screen, which is great, but I need to see the icons as well. Does anyone know any way how to do it? Any app, EdXposed module or anything? Maybe I missed something?
Thank you in advance.

You can try to go to settings, display, control center and notification shade, turn off the option "show carrier when device is locked", to see if this works.
Edit: I just tried it myself, and with that option disabled, the icons are still not shown on the lock screen.

That's true, unfortunately it does not work... And the worst thing is that just after pressing the power button when the screen is locked, you can see the icons on the bar for just a fraction of a second before they disappear. I would love for them to stay there.
