Ive made my lock screen devoid of all widgets like clock etc. However the notification still appear somewhat in the centre leaving a lot of space empty on the screen. Specially in landscape. Is there any way to have notifications take up the whole screen? That is, start from the top and continue on downwards as there is no clock etc anyway.
Thanks.

Currently active notifications runs along side the lock screen. I'd much rather use active notifications as my lock screen so that i can still see any notifications i have.
I'm not sure its possible. On my X I had lock screen set to none. So I didn't have a lock screen. But if memory serves...hitting power would bring me straight to my launcher.
But, you always see active notification screen as soon as you pick up the phone anyway. Lock screen or not.
What's its function?
I have, yes, but mine has appeared over the "Google" text. It appears to be a "press" animation that is "stuck" or something. I just press on the location and it opens the Google app, then when back to the home screen it is gone. Not sure how to reproduce it.
Am able to reproduce it, by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page, the far left page, the bubble stays where I pressed.
Nobody else has this?
Really?
I don't have the bubble on the home screen or by touching the Google search bar on the Google Now page. I tried touching the search bar several times and never saw the bubble.
I have it -- only on the 6, no other device [yet]. I can watch it pulse and change slightly and it moves from the center of the bar to the middle of the right half sometimes. Tapping the widget then cancelling input will make it go away for a while. Maybe it's Google's way to remind us to use the search bar since it's something I do not frequently do.
I can reproduce it by touching the Search Bar and swiping down, then the dot will stay where ever you touched it until you press on the widget to perform a search. I've done this when trying to swipe down the notification window but not quite hitting the status bar to pull down the notification window.
I've noticed this on my N6 as well on the same bar. If I tap in the bar and tap away, the bubble will go away. I thought it was a bug in the animation. I can reproduce it by touching the bar and dragging my finger out of the bar.
Hi Guys - I got a Pixel 4 XL yesterday and noticed something weird. When I had the 'Skip lock screen' option enabled, my notifications on the lock screen would briefly appear on top of the screen before disappearing. After that, I would only be able to see the icon on the lock screen but not interact with it.
After I unchecked the 'Skip lock screen' option, my notifications appear as expected on the lock screen. I'm able to expand/read the notification and use quick responses or dismiss it.
Has anyone been having the same issue? I would say it's a bug in the implementation. I love the skip lock screen feature but I don't want to unlock and go to notifications every time I get a notification.
Hi all,
I bought a Xiaomi 9 SE a while back, coming from iPhone. I was under the impression that everything was tweakable with android, but i can't figure out how to adjust the pop-up notifications from whatsapp in any way. Currently whenever i receive a whatsapp message my screen turns on and shows a huge rectangle in the middle of the screen showing the message with two buttons beneath it reading "reply" and "close". Then i can scroll to the right and left, showing the next message and previous messages in case i received more than one. This sucks for a number of reasons.
The rectangle looks like it was invented in 1999. It is so obnoxious; huge, ugly with no way around it. It stays on your lock screen blocking everything else until you've closed it manually. When i (feel forced to) close the preview screen (because i want to use my phone for another purpose) there is no way of retrieving the previews of the messages, i have to open the app instead.
The time stamps are missing. I have to figure out the chronology of messages myself by looking at the number in the upper right corner (1 of 13, 2 of 13 etc.) but even then i don't know if the message was sent an hour ago or a minute ago (and even then, i don't know if message 13 was the last one or message 1). Besides, this 'scrolling' to the left and right is so time consuming and unclear compared to being able to look at all messages beneath one another with the first one at the top and the last one at the bottom in one quick view (as with my old iphone).
Phone companies are always nagging about protecting privacy and therefor not showing the content of preview messages of whatsapp, i never understood this when i was on iphone and the previewed messages were subtle, vague and small - with the longer messages needing to be expanded by a swipe down with the finger to fully view (in case of texts longer than a couple of words). But now i get it, these android preview messages light up the screen in a way you can not NOT look at it and the content of the messages is right there in the middle to read for everyone. Also with iPhone i remember the screen would only light up with the first message you received from someone and have some sort of cooldown timer on it before the screen turned on again, with my xiaomi every message someone sends makes the screen light up. In case of people who send a lot of messages in a row (instead of making 1 long message) that means the phone screen in turned on for minutes on end, super annoying and distracting.
Am i totally missing something or is this just the way whatsapp preview messages work with android? Is there any option somewhere hidden to change the form of the whatsapp preview messages to something less obnoxious? Or any third party app for that matter, as this is driving me crazy.
I have MIUI 11 since a day or two now, and was hoping this would change things, but so far i haven't figured it out.
Thanks in advance all!
Yes there is. Just disable the so called toast messages. And you can also disable lock screen messages. And of course disable whatsapp message notification at all!
For the first thing. Whatsapp>settings>notifications>use high priority notifications
For the second check your android AND launcher specific lockscreen settings.
For the third option check the App permissions. or just modify the appearance of the message the time it is there. Grab it left or right and then hit the settings gear for notification display permission (I hope it is called like this).

hi, thanks for the answer. I think this does not solve my issue if i understand everything correctly. To be clear: i WANT notifications on my lock screen, just not in the form of the idiotic big rectangle. I want the more subtle, smaller, elongated 'balloons'. Strangly enough when i press "close" on the previewed messages on my Lock screen they disappear and for a second turn into such a small 'balloon', only to disappear straight away then.
The "use high priority notifications" gives a little pop-up at the top of the screen that disappears after like 2 seconds. This is no problem for me.
Under "ambient display and lock screen" settings you can choose for the screen whether to light up or not when a message is received. Although i'd like there to be some sort of cooldown to prevent my phone from lighting up for longer periods on end or all the time, this is not the biggest issue either. (Apparently this overruled by something else as setting it to "do nothing - when notifications come and the screen is off" does not work, it still lit up when receiving a whatsapp message)
Under "notifications" settings you can select "lock screen notifications", "floating notifications" and "notifications badges" - so i go to 'lock screen notifications' where i can select 'format' (sounds promising!), but this only gives me the options to:
- show notification content
- show notifications but hide content
- don't show lock screen notifications
No option to change the style of the Lock screen notifications frustratingly.
EDIT: i may have just found the answer myself ... turn off "pop-up notifications" in the whatsapp settings. This way you still get notifications, but no longer the horrible big ones in the middle of the screen

i dont know where you do this.......
i am running xiaomi.eu 9.11.22 but when i try to disbale pop-up notifications... but i get the message, not possible in your android version anymore
First sorry for my English. I checked all the apps to see that they are allowed to show notifs on lock screen. I checked Privacy settings, notifications settings, basically I checked everything what's needs to be done but i still can't see notifications on lock screen. Please Help...
It's in Always-On Display I think. Keep in mind you'll get small icons at best. If you want normal Android notifications, you need to get rid of the ColorOS lock screen. I think it's com.coloros.onekeylockscreen.

Thanks for answer, can you tell me how I can get rid of this thing? I can't find this thing in my apps list
Through the debugger. More info there : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/debloat-guide-2-0-f-11.4203903/
Swipe up on lock screen too view notifications. If you want pop up notification on lock screen then go to settings> notification and status bar> and then toggle off pull down on lock screen for notifications.
