A2 Lite - Hide notification content on lock screen - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

On my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4/64 Android One 9, I can't find the way to not see the contents of WhatsApp notifications with locked screen.
I would like the screen to turn on by showing only how many WhatsApp notifications are to be read, not that they show them in full screen and content.
Is this option missing only to me or even to you? In older Android versions, in the lock screen settings, there was the possibility to also choose "Show notifications, hide contents".
Thank you,

Settings > security & location > lock screen preferences > show/hide notification content on lock screen

Hello, thanks for answering me so quickly.
Unfortunately, there's no setting to choose other than
"show all notification content"
Or
"Don't show notifications at all".
There used to be a third choice (at least on other smartphones), that was "show notifications, hide content", but it's missing and I cannot understand why.
My MI A2 Lite Is brand new and has AndroidOne. Sorry for the Italian screenshot.
What can I do?

Try putting a password or PIN

Oh. It worked, with a sequence for example, the third option appeared. Is it possible to unlock the screen by just swiping it, but maintaining the notifications content hidden?

Set pin delay for x amount of time. For that x amount of time you can unlock by swiping. After the x time you have to re-enter the PIN.

Oh this looks like a fantastic feature. How can I set it? Where's the pin delay time input mode?

Settings > Security & Location > PIN
Click on the settings icon near the PIN and then > Automatically lock and set delay. You can set max 30 mins.

Or you can just set a pattern as a easy swipe.

[Q] Contact picture after the update

I saw on engadget site that the contact picture is shown full screen, see the post below:
http://engadget.com/2011/05/19/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-arc-getting-android-2-3-4-update-next
but even after the update to 2.3.3 my contacts picture it is still small, see below:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-with-android-2-3-3.html
any ideea how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mugur

i tried it and it's not seems to be the problem
As far as I know from my neo (not arc)....
1. Picture from facebook contact will be small
2. Picture selected from Gallery or by photo will be Bigger almost half of the screen << Arc might be full screen ?
ps It's like even before upgrade .
that is not true, you will not get the full screen contact picture. look at the video on the SE blog post below
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/05/26/update-on-facebook-inside-xperia/
If I change the picture from Facebook (corner of the screen) with a picture from the camera it wil be only half screen (not full screen like in engadget and even Sony Ericsson site). I have an Arc. Anyone knows how to enable Facebook notifications on locked screen?

maybe that one was the prototype version and they found that there were problems and hence took it out? TBH I don't really know. but just assumptions. Because the youtube video by SE shows corner..so I am taking that the final version doesn't have it and there isn't anything wrong with your version.
on a side note..has anyone tried to lock the phone using a lock pattern or a PIN? does it work? for me the pattern screen or PIN keypad does not appear even when I set the lock...

Unlock patern works for me.
You have to check a box that determines when the lock pattern should be required: 1) @ power up, 2) after a screen sleep, etc. This is on the lock pattern setup dialog.

There is no such setting in Xperia Arc!
In location and security you can "Set up screen lock". you have 3 options: pattern, PIN or password. For me works without any problems

even in Sony Ericsson site about Facebook integration there is a similar picture with the one on engadget:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/services/facebook-inside/overview?cc=gb&lc=en
What do you think? How can we make full screen contact pictures?
Perhaps it's just a publicity photo and the function to have full screen contact pictures just does not exist.
I have to say that its the only thing that disappointed me from the update. I was expecting the same functionality as the x10 where hi res pics were synced from facebook with the Timescape implementation there.

Lock screen shortcuts on lockscreen without swipe lock

There's no option to have shortcuts on the lockscreen if you are using any type of security lock (pattern, PIN, password). Shortcuts appear with the swipe lock, but people snoop on my phone all the time so I'm not planning to unsecure my phone anytime soon. I was wondering if there was any way to put shortcuts on the lockscreen (maybe with a flashable mod or an app), or if it's simply impossible.
Have you tried using smart lock settings? That's what I've been using.

Ah yes I forgot about that. I had been using my face as a trusted face, but I turned it off because it could never detect me in the one place that I always sit in the house! Having had a think, no one ever snoops on my phone at home, so I've set my home address as a trusted location. One problem though: the shortcuts appear but there's no option in the settings to customise them.

Remove password requirements and set to swipe for lockscreen. Change shortcuts. Change back to password or however security settings you want.

[APP|SHARE] Home Button Replacement [NO-ROOT]

★ Home button replacement ★
★ Descriptions ★
Hello folks!
So, while was setting the phone, i discover Motion Launch Gestures.
Well after tried it, I realized that there isn't any double tap to lock/unlock, but only a double tap to see notifications on the lockscreen.
The fact is that I don't like to use always the power button to lock the device
I've tried nova launcher for the double tap to lock feature, but if you use fingerprint to unlock, it request the pin (a security purpose on Android)
So I digged on the web and I found an app that allow you to use fingerprint to lock the phone.
Plus it doesn't require the pin after you unlock with fingerprint.
Let's begin!
★ Requirements ★
These apps don't require a rooted phone
★Instructions★
Download the two apps from Play Store (link below)
doubleHome, to use double tap on fingerprint to turn off the screen (it will show you 2-3 seconds of black screen before the phone lock)
Nougat Quick Settings, to enable power toggle on quick settings, so you don't need to use power button any more
These apps are pretty explanatory itself, so I don't write any "how-to".
Just set right permissions and config as your choice.
I've also enabled "ringtone mode" on quick settings to change vibration on/off.
So I hope you guys enjoy this and feel free to comment any others doubts/tips/tricks!
I know that root/unlock bootloader will make this muuuuch more easier.
But for now i'll keep my phone stock (it's so hard because I see many great devs here ), so i thought to share this to people like me.
Thanks mate! Much appreciated
Useful,thanks for sharing :good:

I have done the same thing with Nova Launcher and it doesn't show me a pin locksreen. I have my phone encrypted as per the work email exchange policy and i have setup fingerprint unlock as well.

I've tried nova as well, but then you need to download also a clock widget (the one that comes with theme, that i love so much, doesn't work), plus the free version is limited.
Anyway yes, using a launcher with gesture will do the same

I just found a few options. A lock widget and a floating widget home button (It can save you from sending fingerprints in to the spy agency of your country).
Home floater (also see screenshot) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyarmy.floatinghomebutton
Screen lock requires to be device administrator
(screen off/put away phone preceding action)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m2t.locker.widget
Hi. I had the same dilemma but I found a better way to do the locking the screen without pressing the home button.
I’m sure you guys heard about the app “GREENIFY”. It is actually useful. Well at least for me. It autohibernates apps and it will stop any apps running in the background and will put your phone to sleep. It is now available to non rooted phones so it became handy.
So after you download the app, there is a create shortcut option in the app which will create an icon in your home screen. So if you press the app shortcut, it will sleep and hibernate your phone. Also, it is a great app for saving battery.
Then if you would like to wake your phone up, you can just use the fingerscanner.
I hope it helps.
doubleHome is an amazing app!
Thank you!
Thanks for recommending that double tap app. But still don't understand why should I need installed that quick settings app customers double tap works for me fine without that second app...

I was referring to "Power off/Restart" quick toggle, so you don't have to press the power button fot that.
Anyway that app got updated, and I don't see that toggle anymore (I'm on Oreo)
Oh so, now understand.
And is any solution to turn off vibration when unlocking? I mean without root.

You can turn off that option under "Fingerprint scanner" setting.
On Oreo I have that Don't remember on nougat..
It looks like on Nougat missing that option. And another thing I would like to say: after lock that way my phone after few minutes require again input pin code.. that's bad

If you want to turn your phone off without using the power button, then you can use "edge sense"... It enables you to do so either by short or long squeeze...

Fingerprint VS home action

Hi,
with my Mi5s with LineageOS, I have an issue, I use fingerprint (PayPal, NextCloud, other apps), I use home button ... focus and I must use fingerprint to unlock a new time. Is it possible to allow fingerprint to prevent all home usage ?
I'm on latest RR and was experiencing same issues. On RR there's an option to set hardware keys action. If there's such an option on Lineage too just change home longpress action to menu.
Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
Same problem here...
If I change long press action to nothing, I return to home and must reopen app...
Didn't you read what I wrote above? I didn't say to change it to nothing. I said to change to "menu". It works this way for me in the apps that I use with fingerprint.

Android P Ambient Display Question

Anyone know what this line is for on the ambient display for android p?
https://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nexus2cee_ambient-display-p.png
I'm thinking it may be where weather would go if you have that feature set up. I don't. Wondering if there's a way to remove it.
Thanks!

I assumed it was just a separator between the phone's info (time, date, etc) and the notifications? I guess you need to find someone who has the weather enabled (I don't) to see if it's still there. I'm guessing it is.

The line is a seperator on ambient display, the pics in the link you quoted are the lockscreen, not ambient display.
the weather on ambient display appears to the right of the date just as it does on homescreen.
remember ambient display is an all black screen.
And yes, it also does appear on the lockscreen, in the same format: date - weather
Seems some people have it, others dont.
I had it yesterday, but its gone today.

Yep it is a separator to split out notifications from the standard Ambient Display info.
Thanks for the info on getting the weather to display. Good stuff! :good:
When I fixed the weather thing I just removed the Google update then put it right back. No reboot was required for me.

I didn't need to wipe the phone to fix the missing weather on the lock screen. Go into apps and disable Google. That reverts it to an older version. Reenable and give it a little bit and it will be there.

Although it's less of a problem, because this morning it has disappeared altogether. Still, never mind. I'll just look out of the window.
I actually never got it to work even though I tried the "fix" I quoted. And further along in the comments, it looks like it disappears for everyone.
