[Q] App for SMS alerts - Android Apps and Games
Is there an application that controls SMS alerts better than the stock android alerts? If I turn off status bar notifications, it turns off sound and vibrate.
I want to turn off status bar and lock screen sms notifications, and only get a tone/vibrate. Checking the status notification off in the menu turns off sound/vibrate.

There are SMS notification applications, yes, but I don't think you can enable sound/vibration without a status bar notification as the status bar functions as a sort of master notification manager.
I imagine that's intentional on Google's part -- if you could enable just sound without a visual cue, it would be too easy to end up confused as to what kind of notification you actually received. Sounds like a recipe for confusion from less-savvy users.
Now, there's a chance I'm wrong here -- but I'm fairly certain I'm not. You could try SMS Popup (http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-popup/net.everythingandroid.smspopup), which can do a one-time popup notification without putting anything in the status bar, but again, that won't do sound or vibration without the status bar notification enabled.
I tried sms popup, it requires you to do a status bar notification.
I don't really understand your part about the sound/vibrate notification being confusing. phones for years have had sound/vibrate with different alerts for each type of event. i also get a (1) on the SMS application showing i have 1 unread message.
I really think it is a poor design that I can't turn off the status bar notification without turning off all message sounds/vibrate. What if I just didn't want someone reading my messages but wanted to hear the sound?
I have never used a phone that doesn't automatically (and non-optionally) put a notification icon in a status bar, or place a # over the messaging icon, or give some other visual cue that you have a new message. But if what's actually bothering you is the scrolling message preview in the status bar -- not the notification icon itself -- SMS replacement apps Handcent and ChompSMS both can disable that.
The only option if you just really can't live with that icon, for whatever reason, is to get Handcent or Chomp to disable the scrolling preview, and then to go digging around in one of those programs' files with Root Explorer or the like to find the SMS notification icon image file and replace it with a completely transparent .png. The notification icon would then be invisible, despite still technically being there.
Yea im talking about the scrolling notification bar not the # on the sms message app icon.
I've used handcent and sms popup and both have a notification on/off, just like default message. It is tied to the audio. If you don't want the scrolling notification bar, you can't get audio from what I've found so far.
It was kind of nice at first, until i realized its just wasting extra battery, and it stays up there until i actually go click it or something. It also displays the text if someone else is holding the phone and thats annoying as well. I just don't understand why the notification bar isn't separate from the audio/vibrate.

[Q] Notifications w/no cause on status bar
My D2G frequently plays the default notification tone but doesn't post anything on the status bar to tell me why. I've been careful to not turn notifications on for tons of things and I can't find any apps in which I've got tones enabled and status bar updates disabled. Is there some way to get a log of all notifications and their source app? Can you suggest any other way to debug this problem? It's driving me nuts! Thanks, Jim
Sensitive notifications
Looks like the ambient display notification is showing the contents of hangouts messages and emails when I wave my hand over the screen. Is it possible to only show the circle hangouts icon and not show anything until the icon is pressed? Edit: I have set "when device is locked, show all notification content". But I still cannot choose which apps are "sensitive" . The only App notification settings I see are "block, show on lock screen, disable persistent notification on lockscreen, and priority" How do I enable the sensitive setting?
show all notification icons in status bar?
Currently my status bar will show about 4-5 notification icons before it shows the "dot dot dot" icon meaning there are more notifications but no room to show them. When this happens there is still a ton of space left to show more icons. Unfortunately the icons that do display are usually persistent ones, so when I get notifications that I actually care about I'm unaware until I pull down the notification pane. Is there any way to change this behavior so that emui continues to display new notification icons instead of hiding them?
No way to remedy this I guess - bummer, it's my only real complaint about this phone (EMUI I guess). Constantly have to be pulling my notifications panel down, otherwise I miss notifications because they don't all display in the notification bar.
close pop-up notification keep the notification in notification bar ?
Can I turn off the pop-up notification Keep show notification in notification bar only ? (Oreo 8.0） All I can find it's turn off all notification for app. Can only find some Google official APP have such a setting. Can not find the setting in third-party APP. Pop-up notification is kind annoying in some situations like watching movie.
Disable notifications
Hello All, My question is that how can I disable the notification on the notification bar per app. I just want to disable for example Viber icon and notification on the notification bar, but I want the LED notification only. If I disable the notifications in app settings, the Viber want to enable it. I just do not want the Viber icon on the notification bar, but the LED notification is "nice to have". I checked the Play for this kind of apps without success. I just surprised with this Android version, because on my old Galaxy S5 (android 6.0.1 note 7rom), this setting is available, when I long press the notification on the notification bar. I can simple disable it. Or it is because of the Custom rom? I don't think so... I'm using the below rom on my S5 deivce https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-skiesrom-ux-v1-1-note7-t3519130 Click to expand... Click to collapse Thanks if you have any idea, Regards,
You can change it from your settings menu, either in the notif area or your app's settings.
RossTeagan said: You can change it from your settings menu, either in the notif area or your app's settings. Click to expand... Click to collapse No, it can't change. i just tried. if I disable it, all notification has been blocked from the app with LED notification, not just the statusbar or notification bar notifications.
I just attached some picture about my problem. When I turn off the notification on notification bar, the app will require to enable it. On my old phone as I mentioned, it was easily to disable the notification on statusbar and on the notification panel. Is there any solution or app for do that? For better understanding: I want the LED notification, but without notification panel notification. The last picture contains the setting what I looking for... it is from my old Samsung Galaxy S5 (note 7 custom rom) marked with red.
