Enable launching notifications from lock screen? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This seems like an obvious feature? but I guess its not? I am new to Android, so any help would be apperciated.
Currently, if you get a notification (i.e. whatsapp) on the lockscreen you cannot launch this notification or reply to them by clicking on them. If you swipe down, it will launch the notification center, if you launch right or left it might dismess it. But no where does it actually open the app it self to reply or see the notification.
Is there anyway around it?

Tap it once and unlock the phone.

How to not dismiss calendar reminders

When the screen is locked, and a calendar remidner pops up, is the an option other than dismiss or snooze? For some reminders, I don't want to keep snoozing, and I don't want to dismiss cause it'll disappear. On the htc magic I would unlock the screen, check the reminder and then leave it or press home and it would stay in the notification pane until dismissed. But with the hero to even access it it seems I need to dismiss it. Any way around that?
On a completely unrelated matter, when you're talking on the phone and someone rings you, is it not possible to check the number afterwards? Seems that it doesn't register in missed calls.
Cheers.
I can answer the second question, when you go into your contacts (People shortcut), you can scroll to stuff in the bottom. When you slide all the way to the right, there is your call history. You can check incoming, outgoing and missed calls there.

Checked there, it doesn't seem to list missed calls that occurred while you were talking on the phone. So I hear the call waiting beeps, they stop, I end my call, and there's no record of the number that rang during my call.
the calendar thing is indeed a bummer, there should be the possibility to deactivate the alarm AND leaving the reminder unread, so it stays in the notification bar. i am wondering that i didn't notice this by myself yet, since i used to use the calendar this way all the time...
as for second question: just tried it, i see the missed call in the status bar, when i click on it i see it in the call history as missed call. i also see it when going by contacts -> most left icon in the bottom slidebar.
so far: 1. issue is a real annoying issue, 2. issue isn't a problem at all
hmm, thanks, maybe the beeping was in my head and not a call that was waiting!
On the calendar issue, seems to be an htc sense thing, as it worked fine on the htc magic that was plain android.
To not dismiss a reminder dont slide down but press the menu button on the lock screen, it removes the lock screen and takes you into the main screens.

Tried that, it still dismisses (or snoozes) the reminder. Which reminds me, in the calendar options, you can change the reminder display from 'show in notification bar' to ' show as alert' but both seem to do the same, at least when the screen is locked?!

What happens if you just hit the power/end button to turn teh screen off and then turn it in again?
same effect as snooze, pops up again a bit later

[REQ] MMS notification tweak

This is just a real small nitpick, but I think it would be a convenient little tweak. I'm wondering if there's a way for a developer to create a working notification tweak for the SMS/MMS notifications so where it shows the message in the notification bar, but still says "New Message" on the lock screen.
I know there's a "preview message" option in the settings, but you can differentiate the two individually. So I guess what I'm asking is a workaround to select preview mode for the notification bar and lockscreen separately.
Anyone?
I agree. I have been wondering the exact same thing. I have been wanting to keep my message private to users that can access the lock screen yet quickly be able to read the message from the notification panel.

I third this motion...
The notification panel can be pulled down without unlocking the phone, so that was probably the thinking behind having both tied together.
Does the message still show on the screen with patter or pin unlock styles?

I would have thought that by disabling the notification it wouldn't show on the screen but it does for me but I'm currently just using swipe so that could play into it.

Is there something to hide apps that stay in notifications? (smartbands)

Hi, there
there is many devices and apps that require them to be running all the time to make them work for example smartbands, they have a notification saying connected, maybe one is fine, but i have 2 apps that require this and have to notification there all the time that I find annoying, is there any way to maybe have them running still but just hide the notifications?
If you're running Nougat, you can slide the notification to either side and open the settings for that app. There, press the encircled A and select the priority of the notification accordingly.
bump, can someone have a look

Keep Persistent Notifications on screen?

Hey All,
Is it possible to keep the notifications on the screen until dismissed. Or at least the notification count?
Sometimes during activity, walking/working the phone and watch will trigger a notification and it gets overlooked. But after 10seconds or so it clears off the watch face. Would be nice to see it stay until cleared.
Plugged through the settings and can't find anything.
Could be i am just blind or maybe it's not possible? Or perhaps it is with a root command?
Any help much appreciated.

Just like any android device, the notifications stay in the notification area (swipe from bottom) until you dismiss them (swiping to right).

For sure. That much is clear. But for instance the "lock screen" on a phone can also be configured to show notifications all the time so just glancing at your screen you can see that you have some without unlocking it.
On the watch I don't see any real way to , at a glance, see that you have waiting notifications without sliding up with a finger which requires waking the screen with the button or double tap.

Any way to dismiss lockscreen notifications?

Is there any way that I can make a text message received on my lockscreen to be considered "read". All I want to do is see a message and dismiss it as read and turn off the lock screen. Why do I need to double tap lockscreen notification, open the stock messaging app, close the messaging app and then turn off the screen just to dismiss a message. I can swipe it but it will come back. Certainly an area that apple does so well.
