No Lock Screen Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Sprint S8 variant here:
I'm unable to get notifications of any kind on my lock screen. All notification settings are on for all apps and have it set to display all details of notifications. Also did a full reset on my phone and still no notifications. The edge lighting also doesn't work when the screen is off. I've also tried the Screen Always On option and still no notifications other than the LED. #Annoyed

My notifications don't display on my lock screen either with my S8. Getting annoyed too! Paid good money for this phone and one of several features I consider important to have on my phone.

What kind of unlocking method did you choose?
I had the same issue because i have choosen to unlock the phone without any security and in this case there are no notifications on the lock screen.

Ok so I finally figured it out...i had no security for a lock screen and wasn't receiving the notifications on AOD. I dont like having any security. So I changed my security to Swipe and then went to
-Settings
-Display
-Navigation Bar
-turn on Unlock with Home Button
Now youll get your notification on AOD without have any security. You just have to long press the home button to get to home screen from AOD.

S6 Edge Power Saving Mode Icon

Is there ANY way to get the Power Saving Mode icon out of my notifications bar and off the lock screen?! While still in still being engaged of course.
I got it off my lock screen by disabling all lock screen notifications, only disabling 'setting notifications' in the notification menu does not do it. I did not manage to get off the notifications bar yet.

I wish Samsung would fix this! It's annoying.

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!

Notifications on AOD without lock screen.

Hi guys!
On mine S8 I have notifications on my AOD, and I have the lockscreen option "pull". The thing is that I dont have to drag my finger over the screen after exiting the AOD. But my girlfriend also now bought the S8, and when I put in the exakt same settings she has to drag the finger over the screen after exiting the AOD. If I set the lockscreen option to "none" the notifications wont show up.
Do you have any idea why she can't have it like I do?
I'll just answer this myself, found the option for this. It's in settings>display>navigation settings and check that the option to unlock the screen by holding the home screen.

Notifications help

I moved from iphone x recently, have few questions about notifications on 0p6t
1.Is there any way to group notification s on lockscreen as well as panel by app.
2. I have turned off ambient display and wake up phone to unlock by face id, on iphone when it is locked you get notification without showing the content, but when you look at it and unlock, the notification will expand and show the content on the lockscreen, any way to get this on 0p6t
3. When ever I try to reply from lockscreen, after it recognises my face and unlocks, it takes me to home screen and there I can reply, is there any way to reply directly from lockscreen.
Thanks.

1. Notifications are already grouped by app even on lock screen. Android starts grouping only after certain number of notifications
2. Not exactly, but Android has similar as well. You can change setting Apps & Notifications - Notifications - On the lockscreen to Hide sensitive content. Not as polished as iPhone x, but it works..
3. You can turn off Auto unlock once the screen is on setting under Settings - Security and Lock screen - Face Unlock

Notifications on lockscreen

With the P4 I am not getting full notifications on the lock screen, just the icon that the notification is from. I guess this is because of Face unlock (can't just look at the lock screen without the phone unlocking)?
Ahhh, turning off "skip the lock screen" brings back the full notifications.

But they still disappear after a while. How do make the notifications stay permanently?

I assume it's a security setting for notifications, so whenever your phone is unlocked with the face the notifications will show the details, after some time, or after you lock your device again they will disappear.
You need to search under notification or privacy/security settings for that option to either show all notification details on lockscreen or hide sensitive data.
Please let me know if that's what you were looking for.
Also noticed that the clock on the lock screen moves up and down randomly throughout the day. Not sure how to share screenshots here tho
That's to prevent OLED burn-in...
