Smart Lock and Notifications - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Anyone else have this issue?
When I'm connected to a smart lock trusted device (Specifically Bluetooth) and I click a notification to open it up from the lock screen, I can't do anything on screen until I pull down the notification bar first.

[Q] Opening notification turns on Lock Screen?

I have a SGN2, unrooted. It runs Android version is 4.1.2. I use a utility to toggle on/off the lock screen, "SwitchPro Widget". My lock mode is "Pattern Lock".
SwitchPro works perfectly in toggling many of the state variables. I notice a "bug", but I don't think it is attributed to SwitchPro - I think it might be of Android.
Situation where things work properly:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I close the listing, without opening any individual notification message, then the lock screen remains toggled off. Good, no change as expected.
Situation where things mysteriously change:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I select an individual notification message from the list, then the lock screen mysteriously toggles on, and demands me to enter my unlock pattern code, before viewing the individual notification. The is bad - what is causing the lock screen state to be toggle?
Has anyone else encountered this?
Any ideas on how this can be remedied?
You could try simply turning off the security in the android settings, instead of trying to use a widget to do it.
Most apps that claim they can turn off your lock settings, usually can't. Android won't let them do it permanently. If you reboot, you will need to re-run the app, but before you can do that, you'll need to enter the code.
You can however, simply go into the android settings and turn it off manually. Then it will be permanent until you go back and turn it on again.

I have encountered this numerous times and it can be frustrating. If you are rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and install the Notification Direct Launcher module. This will prevent this from happening, works like a charm.

Q: How to enable "alarm/upcoming alarm" notification?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to enable notification about the upcoming alarm, I would like to see it on my notification bar as well as lock screen.
For now it only appears when alarm is like 30/15 minutes from going off.
I would like to see the notification at all time, to not have to go to the app/switch on the timer in lock screen to see when my next alarm is on.
All of my Clock notification settings are enabled.

I would like to see something like this on my notification bar and lockscreen (pic somewhere from google):

S20+ Quick Tiles problems on lock screen

Hi guys,
In my S20+ when I try to select any QT on my lock screen, the notification bar closes by itself after drawing it down. I can't select any of the QS. Have you guys had the same problem?
Mine does not behave that way. On the lockscreen, I can pull down the notification bar and toggle some settings (BT, sound, DND, autorotate) and the changes take effect but the notification bar stays down. Some toggles require my PIN before taking effect, but the notification bar never scrolls up by itself. I know this doesn't help you sort it out, but letting you know it is not universal behavior.

MIUI 12.02 Global ROM Notification Bar Bug

Hi all,
Hope you are fine. I am using Mi Note 10 Lite and MIUI 12.02 Global ROM. I can access/enable/disable all things (WIFI, Mobile Data, etc.) on Notification Bar when phone locked. My opinion is this is a vulnerability for me. Is there any way to prevent this?
Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards.
Settings -> notification -> lock screen notification -> disable the "Open notification shade on lock screen"
Well, if you swipe to the right while on lock screen (to the camera), you can still access the Notification bar. So for instance, if you lose your phone, anyone can still disable wifi and gps in case you access the "find my phone" option on the PC.

I believe that disabling the status bar on the lock screen is not a security feature, but rather to prevent accidental modification of some settings (in a pocket for example). If someone steals your phone, they can just as well turn it off, remove the SIM card or perform a factory reset, they do not really need to use the status bar at all..
