HTC Title bar issues

I have done some looking on this issue and it seems that there may be no solution, but I thought I would post in this forum nonetheless to see if anyone had any ideas. One of the little things that bugs me about my touch pro is how the title bar behaves when there are multiple notifications that are awaiting disposition. For example, when there is one reminder, say a task is due, I hit the title bar and the HTC large title bar comes up allowing me to hit the enlarged bell icon and bring up the reminder. This works great for me. However, where there are more than one notifications pending, say a reminder and an new email envelope or a missed call, if you hit the enlarged bubble, a new bar is brought up immediately below the title bar that shows all of the pending notifications -- the trouble is that these notifications on the second level are so damned small that I often need to get out the stylus just to access them. It would be great if this second level of notification bar were also enlarged to make it finger friendly. Any thoughts on whether this can be done?
The second thing that annoys me is the email envelope in the title bar. I am happily using TF3D which gives me a clear indication of how many new emails are in my inbox. However, most of the time, I need to actually open my mailbox to get rid of the little envelope in the title bar. This is redundant and a waste of time (and also exacerbates the issue above with multiple notifications). I don't think there is a solution to this problem, but again thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Is this normal?

I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3

Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.

So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.

Notification bar in need of fixing. Urgent

So I have an HTC one m8 running the GPE rom. I have never had a problem with it before until today when I could not swipe down twice to reveal my quick settings. The first swipe down shows my notifications like it should, but the second does nothing. Also In the video if you look at the top of the notification screen (after the first swipe down) the quick settings button is not there anymore. It won't let me post links yet, so the video can be found by Google searching 'notification bar in need of fixing' and it will be the top video made by me, Brandon Williams.

S7 Flat Notifications

Hi, i've recently aquired the Galaxy S7 and right now i'm really happy with it. The question is about how the notifications appears on the lockscreen or the notification panel. Somehow the quick buttons of a notification are visible more to the right and not well centered i think. That's the little problem, more esthetic than other thing but i want to know if it happens to all or is it just me.
PS: I attach screenshots with the version of Android, screen adjustments and the notification itself.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it actually depends on the app since not all of the notifications have those controls. So it's not a problem, because everyone has those controls to the right. But if you want to change those controls you must install a custom rom, otherwise there is not much you can do about it.

Are you talking about the clickable notification banners that appear in both the notification drop-down and on the lock screen? From your screenshots they don't appear to be more toward the right than the left to me. The text appears to the right of the avatar/app icon block, but that's normal in order to make room for the images. Or maybe I'm missing your point?
EDIT:
If you're talking about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER button links, they look very centered under the text body of the banner notification message. Again, the text body is positioned to the right to account for the image area on the left.

Sorry if my point doesn't understend very well. Yes, what a mean is about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER buttons and so the heart button, it has to say ME GUSTA or something like that. With my other smartphone (XPERIA Z1) this not happened. So this is why im consulting this, if it's something normal of GALAXY S7 or app related.

I think your screenshot shows them in the normal position. They are right-aligned within the banner rectangle and fairly well centered under the text block above them. You have to realize those links that you call buttons are themselves additional text, so will appear appended within the text block area which is right-aligned to allow for the image area on the left.

Question Pixel 7 Pro Notifications?

Can someone walk me through this? Totally new to Pixel phones. Been using LG for the last 10 years.
I have Nova Launcher installed and it seems to be working properly with no issues.
I'm getting written notifications on my lock screen whenever a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to posts a new video. I don't want that. (This is happening on most of my apps)
In the past with the LG, i'd just get a tiny colored bubble with a number on the app's icon on my home screen. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the P7P. Is there a way to get the phone to do this?

Just long press on the notification and toggle off notifications.

Thank you!
I've tried that on the lock screen, and it takes me to a page asking me if I want to unsubscribe from notifications from that YouTube channel. Is this correct? I do still want to get a bubble on the app's icon on my home screen letting me know I have unseen content.

Hmm, I don't think so. Have you tried it once you've unlocked the lock screen? Please see screenshot.

Didn't make a difference.
If "notifications “ are turned off, will I still get the little dot on the app icon?

Ok, I may have an idea.
In the notifications settings area....
Pic below, set hide silent notifications from the lock screen. Then long press the notification in the status bar and set them to silent.
They will still show in your status bar and app icon.
Downside to my plan is if you have, for example, text messages set to silent they will no longer show on lock screen if you want that.

Yes, at the bottom of the list of notications, there is an option to have the dot separately.
