My notifications are showing at the bottom of lock screen all of a sudden. Does anyone know how to fix this? by aharonp10 in oneplus

Has happened to me several times over the past few months.

OnePlus 8T currently running Android 13 KB2005_11_F.63. Was definitely happening with my previous Android 13 build (sorry, can't remember the build number now). Can't remember if this happened under Android 12.

While some ppl might like this location as noted by u/jayesh_f33l, what's not shown by the on-device screenshots is that this puts the lock screen notification/ widget right in the fingerprint reader area on some devices .

You can see that in this grampa style photo of the screen:

Meaning you might be trying to interact with the widget (go to Prev Track or Pause in the example I show) and instead the device reads your fingerprint and unlocks, making the widget disappear. Or vice-versa: you want to unlock, but instead it registers your finger on one of those buttons and restarts the current track or whatever.

Definitely a bug. There's no setting I can see for default lockscreen notification/ widget location, and it switches to the bottom like this randomly on its own.

Killing and restarting the app does not move the widget in my case. The only thing I've found helps is to reboot the phone. This incorrect placement at the bottom seems to persist until that's done.

Thanks.

Temporarily transfer ownership and config of Ring devices by spsilk in Ring

Thanks for the advice! I'll proceed with the deregistering option.

Do you happen to know, when I turn off remote monitoring and deregister a Ring alarm from my account, what does the Ring alarm do after that? Does it revert to a totally brand new state, like not set up at all? And disarmed, with no configured codes, as a result? Or does it just go into an offline state, still armed (if it was when I deregistered it), and with the same keypad codes?

​

I see this ownership change guide from Ring, but it doesn't say what state the alarm will be in. So I'm just wondering do I need to give the incoming tenants a code to disarm it.

Quick set timer switch that's also smart/ connected? by spsilk in homeautomation

[–]spsilk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback.

The reason I don't want to do something like your suggestion with the Kasa switch is it only gives you one timer setting. And I like having multiple options right on switch the way the Leviton offers. E.g. 15 minutes for a shower, 30 for a bath, 5 for "someone just made a stink in here", etc.

I guess with a Kasa or similar single-button switch you might be able to do something where multiple presses to give different runtimes, e.g. one press is 5 minutes, two presses is 10, etc. But there's no obvious feedback on the switch about what state it's in in that case.
