Issues with ambient display

I enable ambient display feature on my nexus 6 as it doesn't have an awesome pulse light like nexus 5.
However if I enable this feature it includes both wake screen when pick up and notification comes. But I suffered the problem of wake screen when the phone is in my pocket.
When the phone is waking even the scree is locked, you can still touch the notification bar and do the settings. I suffered many times when the phone is in my pocket, but the flash light is on or put the phone in airplane mode. It's very annoying.
Can someone tell me how to disable notifications bar when the phone is locked or disable wake screen when pick up feature but not wake screen when notification comes.
Thanks.

If you put security on your lockscreen, you can't touch anything from ambient display without putting in your pattern, pin, or password.
I think there are some other apps that have similar functionality, that have more options. AcDsiplay, DynamicNotifications, and NoLED among many others. I am not saying these are good, as I haven't used them. Just saying there are some other apps that can probably give you more options if that is what you are looking for.
Otherwise, if you are a custom ROM person, I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes more settings for Ambient Display eventually.

Thanks, I will try those apps and see how is going.
Also, could I ask how to put security on lock screen? Thanks.

I did set it and use pattern as screen lock but I can still touch the notification bar.
Do I need to select password or pin?

[Q] Lollipop lockscreen question

In KitKat, pressing the power button or swiping up after a Moto Wave would skip the lock screen and go straight to android.
In Lollipop, pressing the power button brings up the lock screen. Swiping up from the Moto Wave screen flashes the lock screen briefly, then goes to android.
I don't remember how I had disabled the lock screen in KK, but in LP security->screenlock settings, there is no option to disable the lock screen.
Any thoughts?

Going to Settings > Security > Screen lock, and changing your setting to None will disable the lockscreen.

As per my original post, LP settings do not give you a 'none' option.

And you're on Lollipop, I presume?
Stock OTA upgrade, not rooted?

I'm on a modified system image, however I'm not aware that this was an add on...
Every other device running lollipop has this, hell, every devide running 4.0+ has it.
Can you upload a screenshot of what your's looks like?

I've read in another forum that removing the "Guest" user solved this problem. Others said running "Clear credentials" in the Security options helped them.

By lockscreen, do you possibly mean the keyboard (the one that shows notifications and you just swipe up on to remove)?
If so, mine does that too by pressing power. I just made a tasker task that turns the keyboard off and have it run at boot or if the screen is on. Keeps my PIN enabled when no Smart Lock conditions are met, but it now takes me straight to my home screen when I press the power button instead of using Moto's active display.
EDIT: wait, that always bypasses the PIN. Hmmmm

Its under settings-security-screen lock (1st setting).

Yes, it's the guest user issue. Funny thing is, I don't remember going into the Users settings (maybe the kids played with the phone).
For others reading, if you create another user or even use the Guest user once, LP disables the "none" option under Lock Screen.
It's silly how to fix it, though. You can't disable the Guest account from the settings page. You have to switch to the Guest user, then disable the Guest account from within the Guest environment. Which . . . doesn't actually disable the Guest account, since it still shows up in the User settings page.
In other words, not only is it unclear and unintuitive how to fix the problem, there's no visual indication in the UI that a change has initially occurred, or afterwards when the condition has been reversed.
Thanx for the replies.

Lock screen notifications without content

Hi all,
I am very happy with my new P20 Pro however I have one problem with the lock screen notifications.
The screen will be activated but not content is shown although all settings are correct and no security options are enabled. The lock screen is also set to Huawei slideshow.
Any ideas?

Go to face unlock settings in secirity and turn off smart lock screen notifications.

Yes! That worked for me too! FYI - I tried an online chat with Huawei and they asked me to send my brand new P20 Pro into the shop for 2 weeks to take a look at it! Glad I found this first! :laugh:

Try his theme from EMUI Themes Factory, works for me

Hi, been following this issues as was experiencing this myself. Did all the tips remove lock screen, face recognition etc etc but still wasn't seeing what notifications I had. My screen would light up and say I had a message but that was it. I found changing my theme back to a stock one worked. I can now see the type of notification and the first line preview of the message. Hope this helps some one

How to get rid of the notification bar when device is locked

Hi, on my S7 I did deactivate the notification bar on my lock screen.
But I cannot find the setting on my S10.
When my S10 is locked, I do not want to get the notification bar by pulling down (to change Wifi, mobile connection, bluetooth and so on).
It's just, because the kids play with my phone and they do not know how to unlock it. But when the notification bar shows up on the lockscreen, the can change the settings of all my sensors and stuff
Quite annoying.
Thanks for your help.

Settings -> Lock screen -> Secure lock settings
Turn on "Lock network and security"

Thanks, but this doesn't help. It was already checked.
The bar can still be pulled down.
On my S7, this wasn't possible at all. I could deactivate completely.

Yes, but it should ask for you to unlock it to change any settings. Give it a shot.

It only does that for wifi or mobile connections. But you can still switch off auto sync and other stuff.

Try Cerberus. It has that option. But it has so much more.
This one is much simpler

There are both paid options I think.

Do the kids just grab it or do you hand it to them? If you hand it to them then in the same menu there is an option called "Show lockdown option". From your Lock screen, holding down the power button will give you the option to lock it down. That should prevent everything you're worried about. The only thing is that you'd have to manually do it every time.

arrggg...it works, BUT....the fingerprint requires the android lock screen mode. And the fingerprint is needed for my online banking. So I cannot use another lock screen app. Damn it...it would have been a nice solution.

Question Custom Message in Lock Screen

I think AOD (Always On Display) has something to do with it but it seems that the option to change the custom text on Lock Screen is removed from OP10 Pro. If true, it is pretty stupid. I mean remove the text set during earlier OS versions and remove the option.
Now I have a text there which could be a wrong info (ex-wife and such) but no option to edit/remove it!
Any help please.

I think you are looking for this...
Settings; personalizations; always on display; display settings; display message.
Is that it?

First of all, thanks for replying.
I do not have Personalizations at all, under Settings. "Always-On Display" is found under Settings > Wallpapers and style > AOD. Under this > More Display Settings > Info does show some info that I can add/remove, but can't edit the message that was already set before OOS13
BTW I am on OOS13.0 (Android 13), v NE2211_11_C.20. No root, no magisk, no customization of any type!

Made an account just to post this and come out of my lurker hole.
To get Google pay option in the lock screen shortcut section available, I have to open "wallet" from the status bar drop down menu. If you open the wallet app this will not work.
Once wallet is opened from the drop down menu's icon, three dots on top right will have 1 option for lock screen settings. Click that and the first option is to change lock screen message text and the first toggle option is to allow wallet access from lock screen shortcut.
Here you can fix your text and or make that other setting available for use.
These lock screen settings are only accessible through this drop down quick menu that I have found and not the wallet app for some odd reason.
I accidentally set a "test" text to see where it would be placed and then couldn't get back to the setting and spent the next 8 hours trying to find it.
Hope this helps all who are as confused as I was.

Probably try Google Assistant application, by voice searching through it for "lock screen text" . It worked for me on Android 13 (OnePlus phone)

The issue is with the AOD custom text message, not the locksreen one.
