Expandable notifications - not working

One of the new functionalities of Jelly Bean is the expandable notifications.
But this feature is not working on my Galaxy Nexus.
I get the same notifications as in ICS (e.g. when I receive a text message, only 1 line of the message is shown and not the complete message).
Is someone else experiencing this? Or does someone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Not getting that at all. Are you sure you are using JellyBean? How did you upgrade to the JellyBean update?

This is what they should look like

i think i know what you mean, for me the expandable notification for tunein, mail, mms/sms and created screenshot is gone too
Maybe its cause the update from 4.1 to 4.1.1 but still strange,

Strange ..
The weird part is, I directly got the 4.1.1 update, and the expandable notifications worked in the beginning, but it stopped working all of a sudden ...

ah, i found the reason why the expendable notification disapeared for me.
i've installed an app called Notification Toggle for Quick Settings in Notification Bar. Seems that this and the "Accessibility Settings" for the App disabled the expandable notifications.
Maybe you've also installed a similar app, or its just not the "top" notification as Unlawful has stated

Might be stupid but have you tried using two fingers to 'slide'down/expand the notification. Only the top notification is expanded by default and your top one from the screenshot appears to be Google Now.
Or a third-party application may be disabling expandable notifications as juxli125 has stated.

Pff, I'm stupid. I found why only 1 line was showing. Drag the notification up (only 1 line will show) or down (full notification) with 2 fingers, you will see the result

Yes indeed, thanks for the info
My top notification is the battery percentage indicator. When disabling this the top nofitication is shown completely

Haha no worries, we all do silly things once in a while. I just glanced at the screenshot in the drop box and assumed it was Google Now, my bad .

[Q] How to set app's notification sensitivity for lock screen

I just applied the Android 5.0.1 update (from 4.4.4) to my AT&T Note 4 this weekend. So far, I'm pretty happy with the results. The UI is MUCH faster, which I appreciate during every interaction with the phone - thank you to Google/Samsung/AT&T for this. Otherwise, still some missing features, and lots of change for change's sake.
In the latter category, I include the new lock screen notifications. Before anyone sparks up their flamethrower, I concede that this is just my opinion; maybe notifications are better than sliced bread for others. In either case, there is a functional issue that I have not been able to resolve. Specifically, I do not seem to have an option for controlling whether notifications from any given app are considered sensitive or not.
For context, I use my phone primarily as a media player. I use three primary apps (Public Radio & Podcast, BeyondPod, and PlayerPro), and rely heavily on their various lock screen controls. If memory serves, Android has changed several times over the years with respect to how it handles media player controls on the lock screen. One way or another, though, there's always been some sort of solution. Now, one app (BeyondPod) always shows its controls as a notification on the lock screen, another (Public Radio & Podcast) never shows its controls on the lock screen, and the third (PlayerPro) has two lock screen related options in its settings, one of which works and the other that does not.
I have my lock screen notifications set to "Hide sensitive content" (Settings > Sounds and notifications > While locked). Most importantly, I don't want my SMS/email/etc. showing up on the lock screen, so I can't use the most liberal "Show all content" option. But, it seems that lollipop wants to use notifications for media player controls, so I can't use the most restrictive "Do not show notifications" option. I think that the "Hide sensitive content" option is probably the one that fits my need - except for the fact that I can't figure out how to mark my media players' notifications as non-sensitive.
I've read a few articles on lock screen notifications that include screenshots that show an option for marking individual apps as sensitive or non-sensitive. For example, look at the example for the Messenger app about two-thirds of the way down the page on this article. Observe that there are three configuration options:
Block
Priority
Sensitive
On my device, I only have options for "Block" and "Set as priority" - no sensitivity option. The OS/apps seem to have self-determined which notifications are considered sensitive and which are not. Unfortunately, two sets of my media controls are flagged as sensitive, so no access to them on the lock screen. My question is:
QUESTION: How can I mark an app's notifications as non-sensitive, such that they'll show up on the lock screen?
I'll take some screenshots and post them in a follow-up post. Thanks in advance!

Screenshots
Here are two screenshots to show the issue. I never thought I'd use the S-pen "Screen write" option, but it came in handy here (assuming you can read my terrible handwriting)!
The first shot shows the lock screen with all three media players' controls - or lack thereof:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The second shot shows the "Application notifications" configuration screen for the Public Radio & Podcast app. From other articles, I think that the "Sensitive" option is missing from my phone:
Sorry for the huge images. I'm not sure how to make them smaller.

In order to for the ability to set an app as "sensitive", you have to enable all notifications on your lockscreen. Then go to those specific apps you want to set as sensitive so their notifications don't show your SMS or e-mails or whatever you want hidden. Seems awkward, but I had the same issue. Set my lockscreen to hide sensitive notification, only to have it make all notifications sensitive, and the option to apply per-app as sensitive disappeared. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, and for getting this on the record for posterity. I stumbled across this a few weeks ago, but forgot to post an update.
I agree that this is "awkward" - and even backward. It seems like apps shouldn't show their notifications on the lock screen unless the user explicitly allows them to do so. Having to manually disable notifications for each new, potentially sensitive app is dangerous, especially in the context of a device where the owner has already chosen to use a lock screen password of some sort. Having email/SMS/etc. notifications display on the locked screen by default defeats at least some of the protection ostensibly offered by the lock screen.
Anyway, just out of curiosity, have you figured out:
Q1: The use case for the "Hide sensitive content" option?
Q2: How apps are deemed to be (or set as) sensitive/not-sensitive with respect to "Hide sensitive content"?
I think Google is on the right track with the lock screen notifications, but isn't there yet. At least my understanding of how they intend them to be used isn't there yet.

[Q] [SOLVED] Can't turn on Auto-sync for WhatsApp and other apps

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I am looking for some help with my Huawei Ascend P6, it has a ROM from XDA installed on it for a while now (don't remember which particular one) and I really don't want to get a new ROM as it would mean all my whatsapp messages will delete.
The problem is that I cannot turn on Auto-sync and I think this is the cause of me not receiving my whatsapp messages unless I manually open the app.
I have tried going to my data settings as suggested by a bit of googling but there is no Auto-sync options. I have tried everything in the settings and I just can't seem to figure it out.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

SOLUTION!
It’s been a few days since my OP and there has been no replies. I have decided to post the solution as it may help someone and it’ll give some use to all my screenshots.
I came across a prompt to turn on android auto-sync in the Gmail app, after clicking the prompt it took me back to the account settings BUT this time the ON/OFF sliders miraculously appeared for the auto-sync options allowing me to enable auto sync. These sliders were literally non-existent before this.
Gmail prompt:
Auto-sync sliders (you can compare this with the screenshots in OP):
It was an annoying problem with an obscure solution but it’s ON now. I am not sure if my Whatsapp messages will arrive on time as I haven’t had the time to test it but it should be OK.
Not buying a Huawei phone again.

The problem was that you turned off the global auto-sync function on your device. In the shortcuts panel you'll find the auto-sync icon, which you must have turned off by mistake.

Thank you landox!!
Very much! Almost threw my phone to toilet.

I know it's an old thread but I still want to say BIG THANKS to you @landox123 .
My wife has the Huawei P10 and this "problem" was also on her phone. But thanks to you it's solved now.

I know this is an old thread, but I was facing the same issue, and couldn't find the auto sync options anywhere obvious.
For me, on my p10, you have to go to settings>accounts
Tap the three dot menu in the top righ corner, there's you'll find the auto sync option. Though I'll doubt it will help with WhatsApp messaging, as I believe Huawei tends to close background app more aggressively than stock android, which may be the cause of the issue.

Thanks, @landox123
Thanks for coming back and answering the question (you posted).
I went into Gmail Settings and it was ticked.
I un-ticked and ticked for good measure.
Went into phone Settings > Accounts > Google and
now they are all blue and ticked instead of greyed out.
Thank you
P10 Lite
@miz_pimp, I used to have a P8 Lite and it had an auto-sync toggle icon in the Shortcuts at top of screen, but now there's no icon for auto-sync.
On the other hand, someone who finds my phone no longer has to get past the lock screen to disable data, wifi, etc, rendering Find My Device and calling my own number pointless

It's been over 2 years since my original post, I somehow came across a email notification. I'm glad it helped at least one person and thrilled it helped many! Makes me happy to know, keep commenting please!
I have since moved on from my Huawei Ascend P6 for more issues that I have forgotten about. I bought the LG G4 after that, had an amazing camera but it bootlooped/died 2weeks outside of warranty. Now I am on a refurbished Samsung S7 edge, I guess you have to pay the premium for reliability.

You can also add Power Control widget. This widget has option to trun on and off Auto Sync.

I've only had my Huawei MediaPad M5 for a week and it's been great, but somehow someway auto-sync got f'd up where it was greyed out like you mentioned.. thanks to your tip I went straight into Gmail and bingo, just like you said thanks a million :good:

I'm not able to sync google contact.
I got mediapad M5 Chinese version week ago. All google app working fine just stuck with google contact. Tried all above tips but not working

Thanks
I went to Gmail settings and solved the grey option of automatic sync ....now its all working thanx

Wow this was annoying. Went all over my phone like you and followed same guides. Your Gmail fix did it for me Huawei Mate 9 EMUI 9.1.0.252

https://techandcoolstuff.com/how-to...-mate-20-pro-user-accounts-not-synchronizing/
I found the solution on this site.. Gmail trick is good but not permanent.

Thanks a lot man. I have Huawei Mate 20 Pro and just couldn't tick my auto sync and couldn't find solution online until I read your thread. It was a very simple solution but invaluable. Thanks again for your post.
Regards
Rushir India

The auto sync was grayed out because I had power saving enabled under battery settings, geeeeeez.

Notification sounds per app?

Am I just blind or dumb or is there no place in the system to set different notification sounds for things like calls, Gmail, text messages. I went into apps and notifications and went into individual apps and see notification options but no options to change what sound to use.

I couldn't find a way to do it either. I found an app to do it through the app store but it isn't working right.

When has this ever been an option in stock Android?
You can use Light Flow to set custom notification sounds and vibrations.
It works. Mostly.

There is a paid version that offers more options.

I don't understand. Almost all, if not all apps allow you to change the notion sound. Open the app in question and drill through it's settings menu and you'll find an option to change the notification sound.

For calls, go to settings, sound, phone ringtone. You can set a different ringtone for different callers to. You have to open their contact info, click the hamburger menu, and select set ringtone.
Gmail: This can't be done in general settings, which is great because you can set different sounds for different email accounts. Swipe right to open the side panel, scroll down to the bottom and select settings. Then select the email account. Select manage notifications, expand advanced, then sound and change to whatever.
Messages: Settings, notifications, sound.
A lot of apps can do this, some can't. Facebook you USED to be able to, but I can't find it anymore. Anyway, hope this helps. Google has made it a little cumbersome to change the sounds for some reason...

It is definitely kinda cumbersome to change the sounds, but the option is definitely there. Facebook in particular is really annoying to change sounds since you can play a different sound for every notification type.
Go to the notifications settings for your app, app info -> notifications, and you can then select the notification you want to change, then tap Advanced and you can change the sound that's played.

how did you guys do that? How did you make those settings magically appear? Lol. I must have just overlooked it or just didn't dig in deep enough.
I guess I was more focused on the notification section in settings and not within the apps themselves.
Thanks guys.

Where do you do it for Facebook? If I go to settings, apps, facebook, when I expand advance in notifications, there is no option for sound. I can't seem to find it in the app itself either.

When you go to notifications, you should see a screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Tap on one of the notification types (left of the vertical black bar) and then hit advanced and you can change the sound.

Wow, all this time I've been blind to it! Fricken Google... Words with Friends was notifying with a sound even though I had it turned off in the app. Looked at pretty much the same notification setup as FB, sure enough, there it was... But why Google? Why make it so hard? Anyway, thanks! Now I can really change some things.

I'm using it cause... "auto upgrade"...
And all in all I'm ok with it but I'm experiencing one "bug" (see down below). Colors might be more saturated than before, but it's ok for me and it doesn't "hurt my eyes" as some describe it. I'm using the "natural" display mode and the display warmth slider is in the middle.
I read through the linked article a bit but it seams like the experience is very subjective or not all users experience this phenomenon or at least not as bad / strong.
-------
Since my upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing one quite annoying bug.
Background:
I'm using my device with the work profile to keep annoying apps at bay.
Using "Shelter" app.
Using "Aurora Store" in work profile to install apps.
No factory reset was performed since upgrade.
Not rooted.
Problem:
Since the upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing an quite annoying bug. Using the "phone" app (private profile) I have no sound and microphone sometimes. So I can't hear and can't be heard. If I'm activating the work profile and use the "phone" app (again from private profile) I suddenly have sound and microphone.
Fix / workaround:
Activate the work profile.
Another way to "fix" this problem is to reboot the phone.
After reboot it works for an undefined time. I haven't tested if the problem starts after using work profile and deactivating it again. I'm testing it and I'll try to not forget to post an update for others.
FYI:
If sound from other apps does work, wasn't tested until now. If you need to call you normally have no time for testing, so reboot it was for me.
Tested solutions:
Tested some general "solutions" from REDDIT & Co.
Editing settings in "Sound & vibration" -> "Audio effects": recommended -> "activate Dolby ATMOS". Phone doesn't have that so i resetted the setting (after tapping "Audio effects" tap "Settings" at the bottom then tap 3 dot menu and tap "Reset")
- DIDN'T WORK
Suggestion: it's a carrier problem
Set network selection to manual and select your corresponding network.
- DIDN'T WORK
Deactivate or activate "Wi-Fi calling". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
Enable or disable "VoLTE". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
My questions:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks
