[Q] No preview of messages in notification bar - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Just bought a Z3 compact recently and since yesterday (didn't install anything new, no special changes...), whenever I receive a message via the messaging app (stock, no hangout, it is disabled), the icon show, the phone vibrate or rings when needed, but doesn't show the message preview. I have to slide the statusbar to see it...
I have show notifications checked, no other app reading notifications.
Any help? I don't believe and I don't want to go through a factory reset because of only that :/

what about Settings>Personalization>Manage notifications
do you disable the Messaging app ?
btw I don't get what you mean by message preview ?

No, the messaging app is enabled there ^^'
Message preview, you know, the message being displayed on the statusbar when you receive a message (you don't have to slide the notifications bar to see it)

Yes, I have the same. When message arrives and screen is off then its nothing except led blink. I think that change with 5.0 update

The problem is that, even with screen on, it still doesn't scroll the text preview when I receive a message. I also have to add that everything else works (It does scroll down the data off info for example)
I do hope Lollipop will solve that, but it'll be long before it starts rolling.

Then just install Textra instead default messaging app

But don't you think there is another solution beside running another messaging app? (hangouts runs just fine but meeeh)

[Q] HD 8.9 Status bar prob

Tried both Apex and Go HD launchers (installed in /system/app), and both show the same problem: The status bar disapperars when there's a new notification. Instead, the open app starts to jerk down intermittently, and I can see the status bar trying to show up, just to disappear again. Mostly I have to reboot to grt it back, but now and then it reappears all by itself. A bit annoying, so: Anyone who has an idea about what to do to fix this?
<edit>The status bar reappears when the notification is cleared, i.e. I open the Mail app, the mail notification is cleared (I guess), and the status bar appears and behaves like normal again. That's the only way to restore normal functionality, it seems.</edit>

The problem you are having is caused by gmail. There is a way to fix it, they discuss it in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896958&highlight=gmail+notifications
Just go into settings and turn off notifications to gmail
Thank you! I've disabled the notification, and keep my fingers crossed. If worst comes to worst, the std mail client on the Kindle is quite workable too.

Yeah, I agree - it's quite good. However, on all my phones, I have GMail in the GMail app, all other mail in Email app, and I'm not much for changes...

[Q] Notifications on lock screen for Gmail/Hangouts

Any idea how to allow Gmail and Hangouts apps notifications on lockscreen? If I go to Notification center in Settings, I cant find these two in list of apps. So I cant enable these to have notifications on lock screen. And there is no settings for it in these apps directly - so what now? Cant pull down notification list on lockscreen - seems disabled. So I can see only that I have Gmail/Hangouts msg - I see status icon, but no preview...
Sorry to say if they are not in the Notification Center then there is no way to turn them on. Huawei seems to exclude Google apps quite often.

Seems like its the case. But even when app has lockscreen notifications enabled, it just shows general message and not content. For example viber is showing only notification that you have XY nee messages, but not showing actual content even when specificaly enabled in app...
I don't use Viber but on my lock screen notifications from Skype I do see the content of the message. Overall I don't like their lock screen notifications. You might want to try something like Nils for better notifications. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
How do you like the Mate S? I didn't know they were available to buy yet.

Man read the manual supplied with the phone !
Why I have all notifications in locks screen on my Mate7 ?
You have to go to notif.manager in settings and enable it!
If you don't want the content then from lock screen flick up from bottom tap on settings then screen lock and passwords and turn off detailed notifications..
Man just start get knowing device by exploring every corner every settings in it..

Do you have Mate S or not? Because I enabled these settings and still getting general notifications without actual texts. And I asked how to enable lockscreen notifications for gmail/hangouts, when these are not present in not. manager. Please read before typing angry posts...

Got it on IFA launch, wanted to use it few days before I write some review. Generally it seems like nice phone, great build, but runs one day and have some software issues - hope Huawei will fix these. Will try to report these through our PR guy, because I got no response at all from builtin support app (which opens mail app with filled email).
That's cool, I wish I could review it and get a hands on. However my general impression with Huawei has always been great hardware but the software has issues. If they were to scale back their skin like so many others are doing, and focus just on adding some of the more useful tweaks. Then I think the software would be matching the quality of the hardware. Not to mention faster OS updates.
I saw a video showing off the force touch soft keys on the bottom. I wondered if you could go back to regular soft keys. I think I'd rather have those buttons down there most of the time instead of trying to find where to force touch, or always having to use force touch.

No I don't I have Mate 7 so same software 5.1.1
google apps has its own settings.. i have yahoo mail and that is shown in notif lockscreen
reset the whole phone and start over..
Report.
HEy man nobody is angry alright ?
Seems to be a EMUI Problem that some (Google) Apps are not listed at all in the Notification Manager, so nothing to do with knowing the Phone, Hangouts & GMail which were pre-installed are just not there. So they don't have the choice to be shown on the Lockscreen ...
I got my Mate S (CRR-UL00) a few days ago, and I have Gmail in the notification settings, and can activate lockscreen notifications from there.

I get double notifications for Threema/Whatsapp

Hi there,
when I lock my Mate S I eventually get notifications from threema and Whatsapp. The Threema notifications are always doubled, the exact same notification and for Whatsapp I get group notification for every single message with the sender and for the group chat with the counter of the messages.
I know from some other posts some of you have also problems like this. Has anybody found a launcher and lockscreen combination to fully disable the stock lockscreen? I currently have the Smart Launcher installed and I love it, but when you activate the lockscreen the stock lockscreen stays on top or beneath it, even when you disable it in the Themes Section of the settings.

Broken notifications on MIUI 10

Hey guys.
I have a weird issue with all apps on the latest MIUI 10 release for the Mi 8 SE.
The problem is that I don't get notifications from a single app when new info in it arrives, be it Email, Whatsapp or XDA Labs.
Only when I actually enter the app do I suddenly get to see all the new messages and missed voice calls, as if the app wasn't even allowed to work in the background.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Setting notifications to Urgent may help you.
have you tried going to settings>battery>app battery saver? still waiting for 140 hours bootloader unlock :/

Yeah, I did but it didn't change anything.
The only solution I could find was to lock the specific apps in the background with the recenta menu.
However, that increased the stand-by drain.
I have to wait for around 250 hours.
In the current Miui 10 beta, the default notification settings for most apps are set to off.
Goto to settings > notifications > app notifications
And you have to turn on individual notification types for every individual app in there. Doesn't fix the lock screen notifications though.

It's all already enabled. I even set the notifications as Important.
I'm not a potato, I know that MIUI is tricky but things that should fix the issue don't seem to work on the latest MIUI 10 build.

Question Brief Pop Up style notifications not working

I am having trouble with the brief pop-up style notifications working. Whenever I get a notification it should pop up near the front facing camera, whether the screen is on or off. I'd say 95% of the time it does not pop up, but it seems to randomly. I have enabled all apps to pop up, and have tried with only some apps. Neither seem to work. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!
not enough to enable app , inside every app in notification u must see and apply POPUP , make sure of that
That worked, thanks so much!!

I followed your suggestion and it works! Unfortunately, I've got a new problem with messenger automatically turning off "show as pop-up". I have no idea why..... But everytime it has a new notification, it will turn off itself without any changing from me. Let my screenshots describe. The first pic is before the new message comes, the second pic is after.
go inside setting / notification / messenger /notification categorises , check them all inside each one
