Why don't I have a sound notification from Hangouts when phone is locked?

[AC Question]

No sound notification from Hangouts when phone is locked

I get sound notifications from Hangouts when the phone is not locked, but when the phone is locked, there are no sound notifications. Is this by design? Or is there a way I can turn on sound notifications for Hangouts when my phone is locked?

Thanks,
Jono

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? It's supposed to notify you even while locked. Is there some sort of Do Not Disturb function turned on?

Thanks for the reply. I'm using an LG Optimus Dynamic 2. I don't know of any kind of Do Not Disturb function. There's a sound notification when a text message comes in, just not from Hangouts (Google IM). Where can I check for Do Not Disturb options?

Well, this seems to have resolved itself. I don't know if this had anything to do with it, but I replaced the lock screen with CM Locker and now it works. Perhaps it was coincidence and it worked all along (and I was simply mistaken or just too new at Android), or if using a different lock made the difference.

Anyway, all is well now.

Thanks for your help!
