Hey John, welcome to the forums!
You can set up the always on display to show whatever. Settings... Display... Always on display... Layouts....

 

[Johnhenworth]

Hello Thanks for your reply Done that but is still does not show e-mails or missed calls
regards John

As Tim said - Settings... Display... Always on display... Layouts....and make sure Show notifications is ON. That's how mine is so hope it works for you. Also, I have all updates.

Have you tried clearing the cache on the app itself? Goto setting... App manager... AOD... Storage and clear cache there as well as data. If that don't work, try to uninstall and install again, or clear the cache on the phone... This might help

@johnHen..try these tweaks and tricks
1) After unlock the phone >>Screen fingers sweep from
Top to Bottom it'll display the icons control-Panel

Locate the AoD=AlwaysOnDisplay icon >>Tap it twice
'N make sure is On when do the last Tap & Hit
the Home button to exit..then Restart phone

2) Goto settings >Tap--Notifications >Find the Gmail icon and
ensure > is switched On..next same screen on Top right
Tap [Advanced] Lookup for Gmail icon >If it shows
Allowed under the icon it has the correct setting..

next Tap Gmail to view a list of options and verify that,.
[•]Allow-Notifications is On-But switch off/On again

Also ensure that [•]Preview in Popups is On-But switch off/On
again & return to HomeScreen >>Restart phone: If all these
settings are oK should work: report Results if Not lucky
we'll try to "Restore settings" to default level

Oops! No doubt this ACapp is becoming totally
BUGGY: I replied to this thread twice the [Submit reply]
didn't work, so I typed again and is shown triple answer now

Hope one of those called Mod's delete the two middle
replies..Is really a Pita this app ultimately..The search feature
was broken in Dec-04-2012: Reported and works now

But to answer this thread the [Go advanced] and
[Submit reply] buttons disappeared at time: Fix this YA!

Another thought. Have you recently added a new email account in your phone? Go to your security settings and see what's listed under device administrators.

 

[Johnhenworth]

All I have in Device Administrators is

Android device manager ( Ticked)
Vodafone protect ( Unticked )

Nothing there. Just checking if there was an account blocking content on the lock screen.

I still want to know how people are getting Gmail notifications on the AOD on an S7. I only get notifications from Samsung apps, so only messages and the dialer. Nothing from Gmail or Hangouts. I hear the new Nougat update will fix that, but a lot of people mention that it works for them already.

 

[stmax]

I don't think AOD shows anything except sms and missed calls. It used to show everything on my Note 7. The last I read this will come with Nougat. Perhaps those getting this functionality are on the Beta Program?

 

[Subliminal]

Yeah I think you're mistaken about Gmail notifications... Only Samsung apps.
