Cycle Active Notification

Im new to the Moto X and I can not figure out how to cycle between new active notifications. I will have an icon for multiple notification types but I can I only preview the newest one. Is it possible to cycle between them without waking up the entire screen?

i have been curious about this as well...

Unfortunately, the active notifications only gives a preview of the newest notification at the top and a small preview of the second newest on the bottom. Hopefully they will release an update that enhances the usefulness of active notifications.

i also wondered if you could just swipe to the left or right to remove one of the notifications. I have done that a few times and the other notification stayed while it only removed one but then most of the time all the notifications are removed from the one swipe.

I believe the idea is that you're supposed to use Active Notifications as notifications come in. You can glance at, take out, or pick up your phone to preview and decide if a notifications needs your immediate attention on a case by case basis.
If you need to look through multiple notifications, and you have the time to do so, then unlocking your phone and using the notification shade would be far more efficient than fiddling around with various gestures to preview each notification. If they did add more gestures to cycle through all of your notifications, that would just take away from the simplicity of the feature.

While I agree with the simplicity of it. It was also built to save battery by not bringing up an entire display every time you got notifications. So it only lighting up certain pixels saves battery for me to look at multiple notifications as opposed to lighting up the whole screen. I'd still like more gestures as an option at least.

[Q] Notifications on lock screen for Gmail/Hangouts

Any idea how to allow Gmail and Hangouts apps notifications on lockscreen? If I go to Notification center in Settings, I cant find these two in list of apps. So I cant enable these to have notifications on lock screen. And there is no settings for it in these apps directly - so what now? Cant pull down notification list on lockscreen - seems disabled. So I can see only that I have Gmail/Hangouts msg - I see status icon, but no preview...

Sorry to say if they are not in the Notification Center then there is no way to turn them on. Huawei seems to exclude Google apps quite often.

Seems like its the case. But even when app has lockscreen notifications enabled, it just shows general message and not content. For example viber is showing only notification that you have XY nee messages, but not showing actual content even when specificaly enabled in app...

I don't use Viber but on my lock screen notifications from Skype I do see the content of the message. Overall I don't like their lock screen notifications. You might want to try something like Nils for better notifications. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
How do you like the Mate S? I didn't know they were available to buy yet.

Man read the manual supplied with the phone !
Why I have all notifications in locks screen on my Mate7 ?
You have to go to notif.manager in settings and enable it!
If you don't want the content then from lock screen flick up from bottom tap on settings then screen lock and passwords and turn off detailed notifications..
Man just start get knowing device by exploring every corner every settings in it..

Do you have Mate S or not? Because I enabled these settings and still getting general notifications without actual texts. And I asked how to enable lockscreen notifications for gmail/hangouts, when these are not present in not. manager. Please read before typing angry posts...

Got it on IFA launch, wanted to use it few days before I write some review. Generally it seems like nice phone, great build, but runs one day and have some software issues - hope Huawei will fix these. Will try to report these through our PR guy, because I got no response at all from builtin support app (which opens mail app with filled email).

That's cool, I wish I could review it and get a hands on. However my general impression with Huawei has always been great hardware but the software has issues. If they were to scale back their skin like so many others are doing, and focus just on adding some of the more useful tweaks. Then I think the software would be matching the quality of the hardware. Not to mention faster OS updates.
I saw a video showing off the force touch soft keys on the bottom. I wondered if you could go back to regular soft keys. I think I'd rather have those buttons down there most of the time instead of trying to find where to force touch, or always having to use force touch.

No I don't I have Mate 7 so same software 5.1.1
google apps has its own settings.. i have yahoo mail and that is shown in notif lockscreen
reset the whole phone and start over..
Report.
HEy man nobody is angry alright ?

Seems to be a EMUI Problem that some (Google) Apps are not listed at all in the Notification Manager, so nothing to do with knowing the Phone, Hangouts & GMail which were pre-installed are just not there. So they don't have the choice to be shown on the Lockscreen ...

I got my Mate S (CRR-UL00) a few days ago, and I have Gmail in the notification settings, and can activate lockscreen notifications from there.

Ok, mine is the 64GB dual sim version, imported from China. When I got it last week, there was 5 updates ready to install...

Is there a possibility to adjust the AOD?

I want to see the Whatsapp-Icon or similiar...
Any App/Modul from Playstore/Magisk/Xposed?
Thanks in Advance

Not yet. Seems like a pretty big fail if you ask me. Hopefully it comes in an EMUI update. Just set notifications to turn on the screen and enable the LED.

Yes, but it doesn't work (atleast on the P20 Pro)
:/

I've the P20 pro and although the option is there to enable the Always On Display, it doesn't work.
Unsure if other users have found that it doesn't work either?
Head over to Settings > Security & Priavcy > Screen lock & passwords > Always display information - In here there is a slider bar to enable it, and you can schedule all day or a set time period. Either way when I enable it the display doesn't show anything when the screen goes off.
There's other issues too with EMUI 8.1, such as the setting for turning the screen on when you lift the device up - that doesn't work.
Another is the double tap Volume Down button to take a photo, that doesn't work even though the setting is enabled in the camera app.
Another one is when using the Whatsapp call feature the screen goes off, yes this also happens on normal voice call, but unlike in a normal voice call where you can press the power on/off button to display the in call menu screen, in Whatsapp you cannot get the display back on. You are reliant on the person who you are talking to to end the call.
Other than that the device is immense.

Have to say that all of the things you mention work fine on my phone (although I don't have whatsapp so can't comment on that). however the AOD is next to useless - it only shows the time and battery level but no notifications! One of the reasons I bought a phone with an OLED display was for this feature, hope it gets an upgrade to something useful soon. For the time being I've paid for an app called 'Always on AMOLED', which works fine for the most part.

:/

Has there been any progress on this? I'm coming from an S7 and all notifications showed up on the AOD. Cannot understand why the P20 Pro (flagship!) only allows native apps to show notifications.

Anyone have any luck with 3rd Party A.O.D. apps on the P20 Pro to get it to work properly and stick without being killed? One my favorite and most recommended is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson but it is sporadic in functionality and staying "Always On" I am trying to use it on my Mate RS

I came from LG G5 (2016), and I can't believe that this feature is missing on the P20 Pro (2018) flagship. Are they insane?!
Any news about it, when might it be implemented?
I'm so pissed about it that it's unbelievable.

I agree! It's a pain in the ass. There are few features missing, but still very annoying.

side light..

Have you tried this feature. Lights up the screen when you receive any notification.. You can set it to other colors..
#prettycool

I've been playing around with this myself, doesn't appear like there is any customization to this which I wish there was to extend the time it stays on screen. Also it doesn't seem to work if you use custom texting apps for example.

Yeah it would have been nice to customize the colors, duration (time and repeat), and which notifications. Really like it though. I've missed a flashing status light to get my attention.

He was able to change it to whatever color? Or it was just showing the different factory set colors?

You're right its factory set colors. Kinda lame

Go to notification settings on the custom texting app, importance, urgent. That should activate the blue frame. Worked for me on the Signal text app.

useless in the dark?
It almost makes up for the lack of Notification LED.
My only issue with this feature is that it only works when the AOD is on... so it is useless at night or in the dark.
I haven't figured out how to keep the AOD on while in the dark, I feel the phone vibrate but you have to press the power button a couple of times to wake up the V40. Anyone else having a similar issue? is there a setting?

Come to find out my issue is with the screen protector. It doesn't have a notch at the top, just holes for the cameras and speaker, and a clear spot for the sensor between the cameras... but that's not enough. So when there is not enough light, the sensor thinks it's in the pocket and the screen goes dark... and no knock to un-lock.

Yes, KnockON is enabled under "Extensions". I've found that knock or fingerprint don't work if the sensor in the front is covered. Only the power button.

Hey guys give this a try, I hate AOD and I'm disappointed this phone has no LED. But I traded this phone for my Mate 10 Pro so it's alright.

AOD / Screen off clock

I've got a CN version of this phone. I it updated the day after I received it so I think some of the notification issues mentioned before has been resolved... or at least I haven't experienced what some others have described yet.
at the moment I seem to be receiving the notifications as they arrive... but I still miss them because there is no easy way to know the notifications have arrived!!
The AOD / screen off clock is quite useless (at least in the CN ROM) it only shows the clock, missed call and SMS. Thats it. I'm trying notify buddy now, which kind of solves the problem. I say "kind of", because while it does allow me to have an LED notification, it deactivates the finger print sensor until you wake it. And also I seem to be getting large battery drain with it.
AOE doesn't work for me.
Is there anyway to get the screen off clock to show other notifications as well ?
Thanks for anyones help.

I got EU version and have exactly the same problem. ColorOS 6.1

I googled a lot trying to find a way to personalize AOD clock (like Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro) but I couldn't find anything.
I searched also for a method to make it show other notifications but there isn't nothing.
Maybebe someone else found something?
Unfortunately I think the situation won't change too much with Android 10.

Actually it will. Android 10/reame ui brings new AOD with notification and customizations.
Have look here at 3:48

I'm afraid he said nothing about app notifications on AOD. Although, there is a notification switch in Screen-Off Display settings, so maybe there is a chance

Its really annoying that they made a phone without useful AOD notifications AND without an LED for notifications.. having to turn on the screen to check for notifications is inconvenient and probably uses more battery.
really hope the next update sorts this out.
on a side note, notifybuddy does solve kinda solve this problem.. but its not an elegant solution.
major battery drain and the finger print sensor is blocked by the notifybuddy overlay..

I'm planning to buy the X2 pro and had the same question. Does the phone allow to see new app notification preview on screen off display (AOD)... and not just the app icon?
Currently I am using the mia1 and I am able to see new app notification flashes in Ambient mode... without waking the phone.
Thanks in advance.

The screen edge flashes for a couple of seconds when you recieve something, though you can't know which app it is if you have multiple notifications. No preview as far as I've noticed.

Thanks. Sad to know that even an app icon doesn't show up on a screen off display If they want to move closer to stock Android these are some of the features they should have. Oxygen atleast has paid heed to this concern by releasing beta versions for op7 and op7t.
Personalising the screen off clocks doesn't help me much. I'd rather do away with the clock and mantra and get the msg preview feature in.
Thanks

Ah no, that's not what I mean. You get the icon, but it doesn't show the message or blink the icon (so if you have multiple icons, you don't know which is the current notification).
