Notifications not showing on always on Lock screen

[dswatson83]

For some reason my notifications (texts/gmail) are not showing on the lock screen even though I have them selected to do so. It shows an icon but no preview of the message. It's like the notifications do not wake up the device. I even have these apps set to be priority notifications.

I figured when I got a notification, the normal screen would turn on so I could see the notification.

I also have had a bug where I could trigger and talk to Google but the app never popped up...it was weird.

when i get a hangout notification, it does not wake the phone from lockscreen either. regular text does wake up the phone which is strange.

of course, when i have AOD, i only see the notification icon and it does not wake up the phone which i believe is normal.

i started a thread 'hangout notification does not wake screen' a couple of days ago, but did not get a reply from anyone.

at least i am glad to know you and i have the same issue

I use Textra and works perfect. I tried hangout long time ago and i got too much lag with it, so i stopped using it.

@z0ove

the question is, when you receive hangout notification, does it wake up the lockscreen regarding of lag time.

Android doesn't wake up with incoming notifications, but allows an app control if it will wake it up or not. For example, some apps like the default SMS apps are set to wake it up. However some SMS apps have a toggle for it. One way to make it always wake up is to use an app that controls notifications like Lightflow, or it can be done using Tasker.

i set hangout as priority and on lock screen = show content, under notification tap. still it does not wake the screen which i find very odd.

i can't think of any other places i need to set. with my other oneplus and xiaomi phones, hangout wakes lock screen whenever i get a notification
