Floatify uses another method for unlocking which is more safe and works without errors.

I tweaked the startup from lockscreen, looks smooth now for most apps.

EDIT: Dont know if this will get public because it slows down opening the app...

[MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION], I have the notification position centered on lock screen and with screen on. I've noticed that if I have multiple notifications and swipe to dismiss one of them, the animation to center the remaining pop-up(s) is very choppy. It's there a way you could optimize this animation?

I bought the pro version and I can confirm that quick reply does work with line. However, I noticed that I can't open line in xhalo from the floating notification. It works fine opening from the launcher. Will there be a fix for this?

Running Floatify on Android 5.0 Lollipop

I've been running Floatify with great success on my Nexus 5, running Kit Kat. However, since I installed the latest developer preview version of Android 5.0 Lollipop, the app does not display notifications at all, even though it is enabled.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] huismeester:
When you have android 5.0 you have notifications in the lockscreen like flotify.
[Android Apps and Games] Neville Bailey:
Yes, but the notifications don't wake up the lockscreen like Floatify does, nor does it give the option of expanded notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] yanks4life:
Hey just started using this app and maybe I am missing this in settings, but 2 things, when you turn phone on and you have notifications they seem to disappear after like 10 seconds or so, is there a way to keep them on lock screen until you do something? Second thing when you dismiss one of the locations they all disappear from view even if there not from the same app, I don't think it should be doing that as I am not done dismissing them after just dismissing one. So is there a setting to keep them on after dismissing one or two?
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
Google really screwed up with Lollipop for developers. Lots of api deprecated which dont work on Lollipop anymore without offering an alternative :mad:

I will start with adding Lollipop compatibility when the builds are more final...

Did you try to reinstall the app. Maybe some tettings are not compatible.?

In v4.10 you can swipe away notifications one by one in latest popup.

In Pro version you can set the popup timeout for lockscreen and unlocked.
[Android Apps and Games] huismeester:
I can't wait for the new version ?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
you know what would be cool (and useful)? an option to touch anywhere on the screen to temporarily hide all pop-ups. this would be especially useful on the lockscreen when the user wants to enter a PIN. the pop-ups could be displayed again after the screen turns off and back on (i.e., next time user turns screen on).
[Android Apps and Games] andygev35:
That's exactly what the setting "Full: Hide on Touch" does in Setting/Style/Pop-up/Type.
[Android Apps and Games] Marcottt:

[Android Apps and Games] Parinibbana:
Whatsapp messages are displayed as unread despite of clearing the notification

Dear Dev,

Again I have to start by expressing my appreciation for the manifold updates, tweaks, bug-fixes and improvements that were implemented over the past few weeks.

Even Google seems to copy some of Floatify´s features into Android L, but to a much more basic level. ;)

I noticed that when Floatify gets a notification from Whatsapp and I clear it by using the Push-right-action as Clear Notification (4.3+), the Whatsapp-App itself will still display a number for unread messages next to the person who sent the message.

Is there a way to accomplish that the Clear Notification-gesture of Floatify removes the Unread messages-mark (number) in Whatsapp?
[Android Apps and Games] crazililazn:
Dear dev,

Opening in xhalo refuses to work for many of the apps that I use, such as Line and mysms. Any tips on how I can get it up and running?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
[MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION], would it be possible to remove the accept screen at every update and make the change log an option in the settings menu. I have had a number of instances that the app didn't work because I hadn't accepted the T&C after the app was automatically updated.

As it is now after every update I need to open the app, accept the T&C, click away the change log screen (the request is also for your other apps)
[Android Apps and Games] Parinibbana:
Good idea. I too had issues with this.
[Android Apps and Games] Marcottt:
[MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION] : I optimized the filter in next version. Why dont you just disable these apps completely?

because for some app i need some notifications but not all.
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
Did you send acreash report? what phone do you have?

That is not possible. Only Whatsapp (or any other app) can set its messages as read.

Not all apps work in XHalo, do they work in xHalo from other apps?

What happes excactly?

xHalo is also optimized in 4.10 maybe it fixes your problems.

If youre a beta tester that can be annoying, but normally this should not happen too ofthen. Changelog and eula is needed, sorry.

ok, understand

v4.10 is in final testing, coming soon
[Android Apps and Games] mata77:
Would it be possible to have this function? That is the Swype on whatsapp for marking them as read ?
[Android Apps and Games] crazililazn:
When I launch it from the floatify notification, it just opens the app normally, even if it is white listed in xhalo. If I click the app icon itself and have it on the whitelist for xhalo, it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ABQNM:
Hi [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION]! I'm fairly new to this app. Been using the free version for a few days and just bought the paid version. I really love it.

I just had one suggestion. Maybe put in place some sort of warning that if you change the theme, that it will reset all your custom settings back to default. I found out the hard way when I configured one theme and then decided to see what another would look like, and then went back to the original theme and had to set it all up again because it cleared all my settings. I now know to go make a backup before I play around with changing the theme, but some sort of alert for the user may prevent other frustrated users in the future.

Otherwise, thanks for the app, it is definitely the best implementation of the heads-up style of notifications out there right now.

Edit: So I just noticed something that makes me quite unhappy. I have the "bypass lockscreen" option enabled. I expected this would bypass the slide to unlock lockscreen, which it does, but it also bypasses the PIN/PW lockscreen, basically allowing anyone who happens to pick up my phone to bypass my PIN if I have a notification.

I use an app that disables my PIN lock when I am connected to my home WiFi, so I didn't notice it at first, but I just happened to tap a notification when my PIN was being displayed and it went right to my homescreen.

I know I can disable the bypass lockscreen option (I have done that for now), but I hope that this huge security loophole can be closed so that this feature only works for unsecured (swipe/slide) lockscreens. Tapping a notification should never bypass a secured (pattern/PIN/PW) lockscreen.

Edit2: I have also just realized that the wake screen with the automatic pocket protection doesn't seem to work properly on my device. The screen wakes regardless of whether or not it is in my pocket or the proximity sensor is covered. I have an HTC One M7 Google Play Edition with Android 4.4.3. I have used other apps in the past that have had this issue and developers had to add some additional code for the proximity sensor used by HTC, though I do not know what it is. I hope this is also something that can be fixed.

Again, I love this app and how well it is implemented and how smooth it is, but the security bug needs some urgent attention and I hope the proximity (pocket detection) can be addressed as that is one feature I found useful in this app over the others I have tried--having the app wake the device to show notifications on the lockscreen.

Thanks!

Don't know if this has been discussed but contact photos show as a square inside the circle, will a future version have the photo cropped to fill the circle?
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
You can choose contact image shape in v4.10 :cool:

- Thanks!

- Maybe in the future user themes will be added to keep ones own themes.

- Secure bypass is from old releases... i removed it, as security fix.

- Have no idea how to fix proximity on htc? didn't find anything on the net... any suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] huismeester:
Any ETA version 4.10 ?
[Android Apps and Games] ABQNM:
I really am not sure about the proximity issue on the HTC. I am not a programmer, so I really can't help there. I just know that some apps have managed to make it work, while some don't. I have decided that I don't really mind it not waking the device, so it isn't really a big deal if you can't get that one working. I will reach out to some of my dev contacts and see if I can get any info on how to get proximity to work on this device. It may take a while, but I will get you any info I dig up on this.

I do want to elaborate on the secure bypass and removing it. When you say you removed it, does that mean you removed the bypass lockscreen option entirely? Or just the part that bypasses secure lockscreens (pin/pw/pattern)? The reason I ask, is that I have found that if I disable the bypass lockscreen option and tap on a notification on my lockscreen, once I unlock the screen (swipe lockscreen), sometimes I get message from Floatify saying that the app could not be loaded. I hope that you leave the option, but it just bypasses insecure lockscreens. I really like being able to just tap the notification and go right to the app when I have the insecure lockscreen set, so I hope you don't remove it entirely.

Anyway, thanks again, and I will keep you updated on anything I can find on the proximity issue.
[Android Apps and Games] gobak:
*sorry. Problem solved. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
huh? what? you mean we won't be able to use SMS quick reply from secure lock screen starting v4.10? that's the reason I use Floatify...
[Android Apps and Games] ABQNM:
I don't think that would be affected. I was referring to the bypass lockscreen option. That option would allow you to tap on a notification and then it would bypass the lockscreen and open the app. The problem was, it even bypassed secured lockscreens, meaning if you got a notification, simply tapping the notification would bypass the pin or password, essentially making the secure lockscreen useless.

If you are interacting with the notification entirely from the lockscreen, where the notification stays above the lockscreen, it should have no effect on it at all.

[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
I misunderstood, thanks for the explanation
[Android Apps and Games] memys21:
Great app! Thanks bro!
[Android Apps and Games] w0mbat:
Could we not have the option to choose whether the app allows notification swipes to bypass the lockscreen or not? I don't use a pin or password and would just like Floatify to save me the hassle of unlocking the screen when i want to open an email or message by tapping on the notification. (Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you are outlining above)
[Android Apps and Games] nvo2411:
Agree
[Android Apps and Games] ABQNM:
That is what I was attempting to clarify with the developer. If he removed it entirely or if he removed it just for secure lockscreens (ideal solution). If he cannot remove it just for secure lockscreens, he probably just needs to add a warning that it will bypass the lockscreen even if it is secure and leave it in there because plenty of people don't use secure lockscreens at all and it is nice not to have to tap on the notification then swipe to unlock.

Sent from my brain using human to phone transport technology.
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
If youre on secure lockscreen, you will have to enter pin or pattern to unlock.

On non secure lockscreen you can let Floatify unlock the lockscreen if you like.

There's a serous bug, when getting notification on the lockscreen, by click on those notification the app bypass the lockscreen screen password or pin even lock pattern,

Some Apps do not show Notifications

I have noticed sometimes Facebook and New Republic do not show notification like supposed to.

Any ideas why?

Edward
[Android Apps and Games] Shonky*:
I have a similar problem. I *think* it's because the body of the notification is identical. I have Sickbeard sending push bullet notifications and only ever get the started notification. The title is different but the body is identical.

The experimental option to not group notifications doesn't appear to work in this case either.

Hi You

I have yet to install it. Can you help me?:(:(

Thanks You ?
[Android Apps and Games] huismeester:
What are the problems
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
What you guys just described is the problem with lockscreen apps,

for one the bypass lockscreen works and with another app it does not work,

on one app it shows Floatify notifications on the other app its not working,

on another Floatify notifications hide on unlock as supposed and with another its not working.

I just dont have the time atm to adjust Floatify to different lockscreen apps. Maybe somtime in the future.

For the stock lockscreen everything is working, you can use lockscreen widgets, backgrounds, custom themes and settings, QuickReply and other feature...

This behavior is fixed in v 4.10 coming soon.

Thats true, Floatify filters duplicate notifications based on content text. I will add the title to filter so only excactly identical notifications get filtered

[Android Apps and Games] OptimusOBrien:
First of all love this app! Secondly, when I use this with XHaloFloatingWindow is there a way that I can have the popup be in mulitwindow but not when I press the app itself? For instance, I want to use hangouts in full screen but when I play games or am watching videos I want it to go into a separate window. I feel like its possible just might be missing something lol. Thanks for this app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Jawomo:
you can set long press to open in xHalo and on single tap it will open in standard mode.

BUT you have to close hangouts with back button every time, because xHalo will resume the last used window mode.

So if you open it in xHalo and dont close the app it will be opened in xHalo again.

When you turn on the screen after an hour, popup will appear and then hide after the selected time.

[Android Apps and Games] HorstiG:
You can not compare a notification app with a launcher App with many widgets and background images.
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
I think I just did compare the two. Just install headsup and have basically no customisation, no icon support, no opacity drawing of cards or any of the dozens of other choices this app allows you, I'm sure it will use much less ram for you and you still get notification cards. You already brought up your issue once before, doing it again isn't going to get the dev to suddenly crank out a version just for you. You have to be patient.
