I've looked through settings a few times, but don't see anything to let apps show stuff on the lockscreen?
In the Notifications settings, there's "Show on the lock screen" but that's it, and it doesn't work. I shouldn't have to unlock my phone to go into poweramp itself to change songs.

Hitting the notification bell will show your notifications and their player notification will be there to change songs.
Wow, so simple and not obvious.. but how do we have it showing permanently? I tested by showing the notifications, unlocking phone, locking, then when I turn on again, it's hidden again.

For the life of me, I cannot find where the lock screen settinsg are on the SGS3. Anyone let me know?
Thanks!

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?
Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Also, this is where you can turn on an information ticker (news/ stocks only right now it appears), weather, and dual clocks for those who travel out of their time zone.

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

Thanks -that did it
It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.
Backstory: I don't use the stock android alarm clock because when I am half asleep I can't figure out what icon snoozes and what icon dismisses so I often dismiss my alarm and go back to sleep... no bueno.
Solution: I have always used circle alarm. It has features that I really like but is now due for a visual refresh.
Problem after Nougat upgrade: I have do not disturb modes setup for when I am sleeping. I tried to increase the notification permissions for the app to allow the alarm to go off but when I go to Settings > Apps > Circle Alarm > Notifications, the slider is disabled and says "App determines importance for each notification", so it is stuck on level 3. I have the setting "Override Do Not Disturb" enabled. Driving me crazy and have been late to work the last few days because of it SMH.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
when you go to its setting, tap on 'A' circle icon, it should then enable the slider.

I am an idiot. You are a genius. Cannot believe I didn't think to click that. Didn't even notice it was there to be honest lol. I blame it on the sender labels in gmail that serve no real purpose.
Worked like a charm though, thanks! Will test the alarm this weekend to see how it does
I actually found it by accident lol.
I had a notification that would cause an app to force close when it was set higher than the third slider. Just happened to hit it one day accidentally while adjusting.
/me shrugs.
Glad it helped you out!
Somewhat related note/question...
Has anyone on N had issues with Quick Reply specifically with Hangouts? All my other quick reply compatible apps works perfectly, but hangouts fails to send 70% of the time.

I am able to access the slider and change the settings. However, no matter which setting I apply I still have the peek notification on my screen. All of the other features of the slider work (lock screen behavior, sound, vibration, etc.). For some reason I cannot disable the peeking. At this point I am just curious if I am missing something. I can live with it as is, but just has my curiosity up. Thanks.
Press the "A" button to Edit the Importance level of Notofications. So intuitive, yet it would have taken me forever to figure this out. Thanks!

sir, u ended my weeks of agony...
I haven't added or changed any apps recently. But today, my phone has started sounding the default notification tone about every 3 minutes or so, any time I have a notification icon on my phone. Sometimes even when there's no icon displayed. The only way I've been able to get it to stop is to turn off ALL notifications in ALL apps.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any idea what I might look at?
Thanks.

You can try to silent the sound settings/sound/silent
um....why not restart .-. could just be a glitch what are your installed apps if u dont mind me asking.....
I've restarted multiple times. I'm not exactly new at this. Restarting did nothing. As I said, the only way to stop it is to turn off all notifications.
However, after trying lots of things, I used the "Reset settings" option in the Backup and Restore menu. That seems to have resolved it. I still have no idea what triggered it, as I haven't change any settings in weeks.

Yeah, that might have worked, but I didn't want to silence all notifications, just the meaningless, repeated sound that didn't appear to be tied to anything specific.
Hi
Currently, when my screen is locked I can pull down the notification bar and enable/disable wi-fi etc. Can I disable this notification panel when its locked?
I'm not talking about "Quick-open Notification Panel" option under home settings. When my phone is locked, i want that to be 100% locked so that others wont be able to enable/disable data/wifi etc etc.
Is it possible?

You just have to check "lock network and security"
(Something like that, my phone is in french)

Thanks i see that now and it's already enabled.. but its still not restricting the slide down panel. I locked my phone and now the finger print prompt is there, and i can still slide down the notification panel.. can you give it a try and let me know if its actually working? im talking about when the screen is on, but locked. not standby/always on display mode.
On my G955F, you can still pull down the notification panel, but you can't check or uncheck anything, except the torch.

Is there a way to access the "Do not disturb" shortcut from the lockscreen? So that, at a lecture, it is not necessary to unlock the phone to turn it on?
You can just add "Do Not Disturb" to the quick settings panel.

I already did. But on my phone it still requires me to swipe up, then swipe down twice before I can access the "Do Not Disturb" shortcut. 3 steps plus the "Do Not Disturb".
I was wondering if there was an option to place the actual "Do Not Disturb" shortcut on the lockscreen the way the clock and date is there.
Odd, I dunno if it's something I enabled in GravityBox, but I'm able to pull down the quick settings from the lock screen with just a down swipe.

Thanks. I'm rooted but don't have edxposed installed. So no Gravitybox.
Moto has gestures like 'double twist' to open camera without unlocking. But not for 'do no disturb'.
Yea, I only know of the flip over for do not disturb, but that doesn't help if it's in your pocket.
