Lockscreen notificaitons - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am debating getting this phone but I just want to see what do the lock screen notifications look like. Like what do missed text messages and what not look like on this device on the lockscreen. If someone can post a screen shot of that on here that would be great!

if you have knock on code just comes up with missed call or text no number
dont know if you just have swip to unlock

Here is how they look. One of the first things I swore I would do when I got the phone was play with the android L style notifications but the G3 works so well I have decided to leave it as is .

You find out how to make it show a message preview for sms notification

the notifications look good but only work for missed calls/texts. Any ideas on how to get Android L heads up to work? The xposed module crashes the ui.

Do text notifications only show like that if you are using stock message?
I use chomp and you just get the icon in the notification bar

Any ideas please?

Is it any surprise I'm getting rid of my one x literally less than one week after buying...have been quite disappointed with the one x and 52 people read this without any response or confirm if they have a similar issue or not...it would have took 30-60 seconds!
Should have stuck to Samsung's...we'll unfortunately I've already sold my s2 so i guess it'll have to be the new beast s3...
Thanks to those a few that did help on a few things but generally the one x forum is a little cold for me compared to the Samsung just like the HTC phones!

The problem you posted is a little obscure, I've not seen it mentioned in any other threads, perhaps nobody has come across the same issue yet? If people don't know what the answer is then they won't post. The fact that it had so many views and not one response suggests that this is the case and it's not a case of the forum posters ignoring you.

Are you talking about the option Messages--->Menu--->Settings--->Notifications-->Notification Preview, untick the option but the message will still be shown if you pull down the status bar??
From testing on my phone, when you untick the option, and get a text message...I get no preview on the lock screen, the message icon on the status bar (with no preview) but the message is there when you pull down the status bar. To truly get rid of it (no message in the pull down status bar) is to disable Received Notifications but that's counter productive as you get no alerts!
I will test on my Xperia Arc (when I get home from work) and see if it does the same (I have a funny feeling that it will do the same)
I beleive it maybe a generic Andorid thing in terms of messages appering on the pull down status bar (perhaps the more experienced guys and clarify)

Hi thanks that's correct...i still see the preview when you don't with the same settings!

It's not that no one has anything to say, it's that no one actually cares about the preview - it's MY phone so I want to see the messages. Do you share your phone? If not, it's a complete non-issue IMO

So you still see the preview on your lockscreen? Or in the status bar? Because that setting doesn't change the status bar preview, just the lockscreen one. But if in the Personalize settings you have the lockscreen type set to notifications preview, it'll show regardless of the messaging settings.

Use GO SMS Pro or Pansi SMS from the Play Store. They're far better then the default SMS app anyway, you'll find many more actually useful options along with your privacy setting, and they also have individual settings for specific contacts, so you can choose only messages from a certain contact to not show in the status bar, if that matters. Works both while using the phone and in the lock screen. The individual settings feature is included with GO SMS and is a plugin for Pansi SMS.
And don't be so impatient. It's not that everyone who reads a thread has to have an answer and reply. Don't go by how many views the thread has got and wait a day or two. There have been so many threads I've read for which I don't have an answer. It's not that people don't care, they'll most certainly help if they know how or have experienced the same thing. Almost everything can be solved, being impatient won't help. Similarly, why would you want to be hasty and get rid of such an awesome phone, that too over such a tiny issue? IMO, phones should only be returned if there's a problem hardware-wise. Not because of app-related problems or operating system problems. There is almost always an (often better) alternative for these things (apps & ROMs).

Hello, problem will remain if he keeps the stock app.
I had two notifications using handcent SMS.
I had to disable the notification from the stock app and only activate handcent notifications and it works perfectly now.
But the stock app is always living by its own without notifying me anything.
You have different notifications : mails, SMS, facebook, twitter, etc.
Which ones are still remaining ? SMS ? Mail ?
And then you also have the reports from sending SMS, this should be also disabled
or you will have receive reports for each SMS you send ...

SMS Popup (Led Working)

Yo! I've been using SMS Popup for some time now and just realized that the led blinking rate and different colors have been working flawlessly ever since I updated my modem/baseband to UVLI3 with Ktoonsez kernel on WildChld's v70 rom. I know there is the Light Flow app, but I just find this a lot more simpler and more useful. Here's the play store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
Enjoy!
SICK!!! Thanks so much for posting this.
The notification (red circle that says 1) on the message icon stays even after I send the message through SMS Popup (yes I disabled notification on stock messenger). Does the notification stay for you guys?

Hrm Ive been using SMS Popup for 4 years with my G1, I have it of course installed on my S3.. but LED doesnt show up at all. Stock Rom. (Least when I use Test Notification) So how are you all getting it to work and do all colors work?

Not sure if the colors work on stock. At least they didn't when i was running stock. To test the colors, I had to send myself test texts.
Ok so on stock you say these wont work at all eh? Ugh.. personally I hate how stock even handles LED anyways.. seems to always cut off. I just dont wanna change roms till official JB comes out and roms are based on it.
Deleted
Anyone using stock rom with LED stuff working?
Seems like a cool app. Just downloaded it. Hope to give it a good run.
Oh its a very good app. Been here since Htc G1 days. Why Google never added it as an option. No clue. Just wish LED light would work on stock.

iOS 8 Like Notifications

Does anyone know of an app that gives you iOS 8 style actionable notifications? I like the ones on the lock screen that allows you to swipe to the right to go into the app or swipe to the left to to reply to text, archive in gmail, ect.
Its not an app, but will do the trick too.
Buy an iphone!!!!!

What's really funny is that crApple is getting credit for the Heads Up notification style that's been in Android for over a year.
Sent from my VS985 4G
Wait for Android L for notifications on the lockscreen. Have tried the Android L dev preview on my Nexus 7 and it is a great feature to have.
For actionable notifications however, there is a headsup notification feature like the poster above me said. You can use an app called HeadsUp to achieve that affect. Another app called Floatifications displays the notifications in a bubble style thing like Facebook Messenger chat heads. You can give it a try if that is your sort of thing.
If you really want notifications on your lockscreen though, try adding a widget to your lockscreen which displays the current notification. Or try DashClock for a similar sort of effect.
nils will do the screen on and swipe to open actions

I use AcDisplay. It's customizable and looks damn sexay!!
Probably not what you're looking for but I'd definitely give this a try. I really love it. Plus it changes if you're commuting or between day and night, etc.

The Notifications in Android are usually actionable. The lock-screen ones are something to look forward in Android L. For any other notifications you can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.headsup. These are technically baked into Android L but are available now in form of this third party application.
Try LockerPro

I see my girls phone does this but it's retarded cause you still need to unlock the phon3 an open the app lol
Im actually using AcDisplay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=pl check it! :good: only u must installed xposed app
Read the thread by s3v3rn 7..this is a modded rom with aroma installer which has an option to install iOS icons etc..
Nils is the BEST

Weird. There is a way, yes, to disable it. Even to select how much info it shows up.
But I can't find it anymore, somehow.

Actually I found a new problem. Disabling the lockscreen notifications also removes them from the status bar, I don't want this. Can it be fixed so that they are in the status bar but don't pop up on the screen when locked?

Exactly! It seems it's all or nothing now. You either get them on the lockscreen and status bar or not at all. The more and more I use Lollipop, the more and more I dislike it. This is yet another reason. Seriously thinking of going back to KK, Xposed and GravityBox.
how to get this lock screen working on G3 20A? the current one just shows 2 notifications and everything else is just a icon.

i think you can't.... LG ruined lollipop with his crap
Think I am having similar issue. I used Heads Up application for notifications (which is good) however since 5.0 heads up still works, but on my pull down screen I also see a similar notification .. that although I have dismissed with heads up, the lollipop notification still exists. I have done hide notifications, but it still seems to be there
Am I just being thick?

LG G4 thoughts

So I'm making the move going from the Nexus 6 to another phone, possibly the G4 or IPhone 6. The issues I had with Nexus 6 plagued me on multiple N6 devices. Like calls freezing on "Hanging up..." while ending a call that never goes through and the ! issue. This is the big issue. The ! prevents any mobile data, text messaging and phone calls, usually until the device reboots.
So, I'm on T-Mobile, any helpful links or advice on this phone? What's the screen size difference between the N6 and the G4? At first I loved the N6 screen size, but after owning the N6 since December, I find it cumbersome and difficult to use one handed.
Uh, Google? http://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/lg-g4,nexus-6/
I've been on that website comparing the phones. But I'm more interested in reviews written by legitimate G4 users.
I hate that the notifations are not expandable.. Why would LG remove this from the status bar.

After you pull down the shade entirely, shift the screen upwards to the point where it hides the wifi, bt, airplane mode etc etc settings. Try expanding the notification again.
