Simplify the access to apps with notifications when device is locked [released]
asked 2014-02-19 12:55:40 +0200
As described in this related question there is currently no way to access the notifications screen once the device lock is active. All you can do is peeking.
Current Implementation: (without device lock enabled) If I want to call someone back because I missed the call and see the notification in the lock screen I need to do the following:
- Open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on the missed call icon -> The call app will be opened
- Do the call
Current Implementation: (device lock active) If I want to call someone back because I missed the call and see the notification in the lock screen I need to do the following:
- Try to open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen. -> It disappears as soon as you release the finger. So it's not possible to show the events permanently.
- Try to swipe to the home screen -> The enter code screen to unlook device is shown
- Enter the correct code -> The home screen is shown
- Open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on the missed call icon -> The call app will be opened
- Do the call
As you can see both interaction flows are quite different.
You should change the wording in #1 when device lock active. It's possible to open the events screen, but it will just disappear as soon as you let go with your finger.

jukey ( 2014-02-19 14:50:24 +0200 )editI agree with you.Ever since I activated the lock password, I find myself doing excatly what you described,which seems kind of tedious.I just have a related question for the community:Why do you protect your phone with a password?Is it to keep others from using your phone without permission,or to protect your data,or both?I ask this,because maybe it should be considered,if the events screen should be accessible at all when the device is locked,since it could show info you dont want others to see.
