[Q] Lockscreen / Notifications

Hi,
I have my Z3C for 2 days now and I really like the phone! But there is a point where I am still struggeling, as I am coming from a MotoX.
Is is possible to activate notifications on the lockscreen? I don't want to swipe the notification bar down everytime I unlock the phone when somebody texts me. I tried some apps (DynamicNotifications, Notify!, Go Locker, Floatify) but none of them are working for me, or I am to stupid to use them Over that it would be great when the screen is lit up for some seconds when a notification appears.
I hope that somebody can help me!
Thanks

Try nils in the play store.

Floatify is my favorite for notifications

Nils is working great, thanks!

I also have been looking for a lock screen replacement and after using the MotoX a bit went with ACC display and really like it so far, its very clean and minimalistic, and allows me to see all my notifications and either interact or dismiss them from the lock screen.
Might try some of the suggestions and see if anything is better.

[Q] Navigator Bar/Status Bar isn't working

Hy guys
A friend of mine got a problem with his HTC One M7. His problem is, that when he tries to pull down the navigator bar or status bar (however you will call it ) it doesn't work. All notifications are shown in the status bar, also battery, clock etc. If he tries to open the bar, to get to the notifications or the quick toggles, he can't do that, the screen just don't react!
This happened since the last update of android (I thinke he's running 4.4.3 or 4.4.4). Before everything worked perfect.
The curious thing is, when he put his phone into landscape mode, he can gain access to the notifications and everything!?! But in normal mode not, very confusing...
Someone having the same issue? Or did someone solve this problem?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks mates

Sounds like a hardware issue with the top part of the screen.

In landscape mode everything works, and it happened after a software update. The screen reacts if you go to landscape mode and touch the screen (in a game or youtube)

Just because part of the screen works doesn't mean the whole screen works. To test it out you could enable touch points in developer settings and see if it is reg the touch. Or you could do a full wipe and flash of the stock software.

The problem isn't the notification bar itself but the top of the screen in portrait mode which is needed to detect a touch to activate the notification pull down. It must be a hardware problem. A relative of mine has the same issue, however on his it sometimes wants to work sometimes it doesn't. Try the HTC diagnostic menu, open the dialer and type *#*#3424#*#*
Then use the line drawing test and try to draw a line in the upper part of his phone. You may find that where the notification bar would be no line can be drawn there... If that's the case then it most likely is a faulty digitizer.
To test it further try going to the Play Store in landscape mode and try a swipe from the left it normally shows the hidden menu from the left in the Play Store. Like my relative you may find that the menu only shows when you swipe in from portrait mode and not in landscape.

i have the same problem but i have solve it by using next launcher or u can use any other launcher. i am using it until there r some permanent solutions

Best customisation / ROM

I just received my Xiaomi mi 5 64GB version with global ROM installed. The phone itself is great and I like many aspects of MIUI including its home screen, customisability, app lock, second space and the various MIUI apps.
However, I have many frustrations after coming from a stock android phone: I don't like: the design of the notification panel (particularly the centre location of the button to close all notifications), inability to close the currently using app without having to go to the home screen, Bluetooth stuttering and poor audio quality via headphones, difficulty in changing the lock screen picture using the Google wallpaper app.
I want to be able to fix the above issues whist still having the iOS like MIUI home screen. I want the home screen exactly like the MIUI os system launcher not the MIUI launcher you can download from the playstore. I also want to keep the same theme design I currently am using.
Is there a customisation or a ROM that will give me most of what I require.
Sorry for the very long post!

> inability to close the currently using app without having to go to the home screen
Not sure about this, could you elaborate more?
> poor audio quality via headphones
No idea why, but global ROM do suffers from this while China ROM is fine. I suggest installing Xiaomi.eu ROM as it's based on China ROM but still has multilanguage and play store pre-installed with 0 bloatware.
> difficulty in changing the lock screen picture using the Google wallpaper app
MIUI limitation, can't do much about it. Just remember to always change it from MIUI gallery app.

When I'm opening an app and tap the multitasking button I can't close the app I am using. I have to go to the home screen and then close the app. I have attached a screenshot.
Is there any way to move the cross in the notification panel to the right hand side. I have attached another screenshot. Thx for the reply!!!

I think that can be done from themes, so you just have to find the suitable one.

The app which I'm current using can't close - even when I swipe up. The other apps do close when I swipe up.
I cannot find a theme which allows me to move the cross in the navigation panel to the right. What I'm seeking is the position of the cross (which collapses all of the notifications) to be in a position to the right hand side, similar to stock android.
Is there a way to solve these problems without installing a custom ROM?

Nokia 8 stuttering issue with apps having top action bar

Hey guys,
I have noticed that the Nokia 8 stutters when scrolling an app in which the top action bar is made hidden when scrolling vertically. I have checked this issue with two devices and also on 7.11, 8.0 and 8.1.
I am attaching a video link of the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqgMv0eVsYc
As you can till the top action bar is hidden the scroll is not registered and the page jump backs to starting position.
Does anyone else have this issue? I don't know whether this is a software or hardware issue.

Im using TA-1004 and running 8.0, works perfect to me

Thanks for your help. Just try to flick or say a small swipe on YouTube app or some media heavy app. Flick just so that the top bar isn't fully hidden. Can you try and tell me?

Apps not fitting screen + navigation bar driving me nuts

Anyone having issues with apps not "fitting" the screen? Often if I try to take a photo via fb messenger the camera-app will be oversized, I will only see the lower half of the editing menu on top, etc.
As for snapchat - I prefer using the virtual navigation bar, but the bar is positioned right next to/upon the buttons on the snapchat app. I suck at explaining. Basically I keep pushing the backward button when I am trying to save. Same when writing on the keyboard at times. I want the navigation bar to show at all times, but have to use the setting where I can put it away for several apps. Soo backwards. And I hate the other navigation-options even more. I was sooo excited for this phone. Not too much anymore.

Am I doing it all wrong or is there any solution to this? Snapchat and fb messenger has no full screen display on/off option either.

I do have the same problem. Most of the time i open up Instagram, my screen is scaled to my resolution which is bad, cause some things are croped then... have u gotten any help so far?

Have to wait for Android P with notch support basically

Yeah, strange! Yesterday I got OnePlus 6, and when you activate the app to work on the full-screen mode it will fill all the screen even the area around the notch, but on my P20 Pro, it works exactly like the older screens (without the notch). Both phones have the same Android version.

Best solution for me was to turn off the navigation bars in the settings and use the fingerprint scanner to navigate back, go through recent apps and go home.
