I have a SGN2, unrooted. It runs Android version is 4.1.2. I use a utility to toggle on/off the lock screen, "SwitchPro Widget". My lock mode is "Pattern Lock".
SwitchPro works perfectly in toggling many of the state variables. I notice a "bug", but I don't think it is attributed to SwitchPro - I think it might be of Android.
Situation where things work properly:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I close the listing, without opening any individual notification message, then the lock screen remains toggled off. Good, no change as expected.
Situation where things mysteriously change:
Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I select an individual notification message from the list, then the lock screen mysteriously toggles on, and demands me to enter my unlock pattern code, before viewing the individual notification. The is bad - what is causing the lock screen state to be toggle?
Has anyone else encountered this?
Any ideas on how this can be remedied?
You could try simply turning off the security in the android settings, instead of trying to use a widget to do it.
Most apps that claim they can turn off your lock settings, usually can't. Android won't let them do it permanently. If you reboot, you will need to re-run the app, but before you can do that, you'll need to enter the code.
You can however, simply go into the android settings and turn it off manually. Then it will be permanent until you go back and turn it on again.

I have encountered this numerous times and it can be frustrating. If you are rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and install the Notification Direct Launcher module. This will prevent this from happening, works like a charm.

Hi all,
How can i stop whatspp messages from peeking when the screen is on ?
When the screen is locked , i am able to prevent messages from showing up on lock screen . However when the screen is on ( eg when i am doing some work ) , the whatspp messages peek on to the screen for a brief moment and the messages are visible. I wnat this to stop as sometimes the phone is being used by someone else and they get to see the messages .
The "do not disturb "mode or priority modes silence all other message notifications , hence are useless.
In short i want notifications of my whatspp messages but they should not peek on my screen when its on
Can you suggest a solution ?
Many thanks in advance

pull down notifcations bar, press and hold settings button for few seconds. new menu will be added to settings. go to it (system tuner) other, advanced notifications settings, rturn it on. go to settings, apps, whatsapp, notifications, choose the level you want (no peak would be level 4 I think).
Check out iobit applock. Its free and works great.

For whatever reason , i could not get the System tuner to be added to the settings menu. Holding the settings button did nothing . However i surfed the xda site and found out that by using adb command i could stop the peeking on my active screen.
Follow this thread for more details :https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/ui-tuner-nougat-t3547059 which says --
"System UI Tuner has the ability to set notification levels including disabling message previews however Samsung pulled it out in 7.0. The solution is this command and you don't have to be rooted:
Quote:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
Find more info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...tuner-t3493986"
This has worked for me and i have no more peeking. I have samsung S7 with android 7.0.
Will try on Pixel now.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions
For Now, i cannot make Level base Notification for Custom Applications like Whatsapp. Level Base notification available in built in Apps.

Dear Forum,
after scanning the x60 and x70 threads about notification issues I'm still struggling with missing notifications and badges for certain apps [in this case Signal and Threema]. What I did so far:
- uninstall com.vivo.pem via ADB App Control
- set notification settings correctly for the apps: (Allow notification, allow smart notification, Floating notifications on (Threema, Signal), Lock screen notifications on (Threema, Signal), display notification details on lock screen, Chats: priority display) // (Home Screen icon badges only for Whatsapp available for some reason)
- set single permission settings for the apps: autostart on, startup on, floating window on, desktop shotcuts on, display on lock screen on, background pop-ups on, Remove permissions and free up space off
- set display settings: show on the off-screen on, show on the lock screen on, show on the home screen on, show in the status bar on, notification method: original icon
- set battery settings correctly: Boost mode, saving mode off, high background power usage on, always on display on, optimize battery life off, auto enable battery saver off
[Phone settings: Drawer style, dark mode, Android Style control center, Vivo Origin System Launcher]
Whatsapp is working: Home Screen notifications, badges, also lock screen notifications - Threema and Signal are not working, driving me a bit crazy. "Sometimes" there is a notification sound, sometimes not. Starring at the lock screen with turned on blue ambilight, it sometimes appears, sometimes not. So my questions:
1) Is there anyone who has experience with Signal and Threema notifications on a Vivo device and could share his/her solution?
2) Should I uninstall also com.vivo.abe and com.iqoo.powersaving?
3) There are no badges for almost all third party apps (Whatsapp badges are working) - is there a way to change it, to get also badges for Signal, Threema, Telegram and so on? (Change Launcher?)
I appreciate your help!

I turned dark mode off, Threema notifications in the status bar are working like 70% now, sometimes they don't - that's so weird.
Is there a solutions for getting badges? Maybe changing the launcher?
Same problem with Google's Messages app, so can't see when I receive a SMS.
I hope they will fix this ASAP.

1) Set settings of the app like in 1st message
2) Set settings of battery/energy usage like in 1st message
3) Switch to bright/light-mode
4) restart phone
-> after doing that, almost 100% of all Threema message are shown as notification. Still struggling with AquaMail, but this will be fixed within next days.

Now at the moment everything seems to work even in dark mode, and even with AquaMail, I just followed this instruction:
https://www.chinahandys.net/vivo-china-version-einrichten/ (German)
No badges in AquaMail but in WhatsApp they work, but I dont need that.

I knew that tutorial before. For me the notifications in status bar and home screen for Threema and Signal did not work having dark mode turned on. Switching to the brigth/light mode the notifications work perfectly.
Considering the badges - I get used to it not having badges for messaging apps.
Just for the readers, you can turn on badges on the home screen for the following apps (Origin OS, Dim9000):
- Designs
- Settings
- iMusic
- iManager
- Kuaishou
- Messages
- Notes
- Recorder
- Telephone
- Clock
- V-Appstore
- Vivo
- Vivo.com
- VivoCloud
- Whatsapp

1) set settings like in post 1
2) unmute chat in telegram (telegram itself)
3) switch into boost mode (battery settings)
4) allow background activity (battery settings)
5) turn off dark mode
6) restart phone
-> telegram is working perfectly for me with settings from post 1 and dark mode turned off. Always restart your phone to get things work. To be honest, this origin os behaves sometimes really strange :/ hope you get it work.

You are right about origin os...thanks again, I didn't put previously in boost mode and I only disabled com.vivo.pem...do you think that disabling is not enough?

What about your battery settings? Maybe before changing the display settings you need to do step 7) and 8) - but I've no clue why your display settings are grayed out. Have you deleted certain systemapps with ADB?
If you find the solution, just share it here.

I tried several things now. Going back some steps and checking again ... always stays grayed out.
I deleted only vivo.pem and some Bloatware. Nothing what has to do with display settings ...
So at the moment I dont know what to do next, but with rest of settings all notifications working for me. Only lockscreen notifications dont show up as well as tiktok notification. But thats more or less OK for me.
If I find out how to change Display notification settings I will share here, for sure.

thank for the hint，I think bug in darkmode is the root cause，I can get the notification sound but no visual in notification center, clearmode is ok!
I have reported this system level bug to the PM of iQOO(subsidiary of vivo, they share the same OS) via weibo, hope they can fix it in the later release!
