Lock Screen Now Bar Disappeared?

[zombiibass]

Anyone else have this issue?

When I first booted up the phone the Now Bar was there. Then it just randomly disappeared. Poof. Gone.

I did a full factory reset and it came back, then 5 minutes later, gone again. I've checked all the settings, etc.

Anyone else seeing this issue? If so, any fix?

Thanks!

Are you perhaps dismissing the Now Brief? If you start navigation or play music, does it show the bar?

If I use Spotify it shows. When I use nav it also shows.

The Now Brief isn't always showing, especially if you have read it already or the notification dismissed. If Maps and Spotify work, the Now Bar isn't gone, it's just got nothing to show at the moment.

Got it. Thanks!

I really hope they expand this in the near future... it's a nice feature, but the current selection of what it can do/pull it's very limited.

The only issue I had was for some reason Google didn't update the score of any NBA games last night, so my Now Bar wasn't showing the live score. We'll see if it works for the next game.

I've heard that before (since I follow zero sports I've never tested that), but from the posts I've seen about that, the common denominator is that it just suddenly starts working out of the blue for teams you either follow or search about.

I follow two NBA teams, the Warriors and the Trail Blazers, and it always shows live scores for me without any issues.

Even yesterday's Warriors vs. Hornets game live scores showed up on the Now bar with no issues.

It is already showing today's upcoming game, for example. One thing: I never dismiss the "Now bar" notification until the game is over.

I'm not getting baseball scores. Anybody else?

Not getting any scores at all. I'm not sure what people mean when it says you have to the app open for it to show up on the Now Bar. The settings are for Google Sports but there is no Google Sports "app" that I'm aware of. Might be missing something...

How it should work: Follow teams on your Google Feed or search for specific teams/games in the Google app and those should appear automagically on the Now Bar.

How it's really going: WTF. It works for some, it doesn't for others (and then it just starts working out of the blue, like the below).

One of the biggest shake-ups with One UI 7 is the Now Bar, Samsung's take on Apple's Live Activities (and, on a lesser scale, the Dynamic Island). It surfaces a handful of contextual information to the corner of your display, including timers and Google Maps. Since I received my review unit last...
