[Q] block notification/warning in status bar - General Questions and Answers

I’m using Swiftkey keyboard and like the word prediction very much. Therefore I would like to keep using it. But there’s a warning everytime the keyboard opens saying that I haven’t selected a language. This is very annoying. I know that I haven’t choosen a language. I mostly write in dialect which isn’t supported of course.
I know that I can’t switch off the warning in Swiftkey. But is there a way to block the warning, so that it does not appear in the status bar? Is there an app or mod that would help doing that?
Thanks!

no one has an idea?
I imagine that it should go like this:
- somehow log all activities going on on the phone
- start the writing anywhere so that the warning pops up in the status bar
- take the log of this acion poping up the warning
- block it somehow
is that possible? does someone knows apps or tricks how to do that?
I think it must go. I mean there's so much possible doing with these android phones
bye the way, I have a rooted nexus 4.

[Q] How to mark a text message as read if I swipe it away in a notification drawer?

Hi everybody,
All I have is the question in the title No more, no less.
I have Samsung Note 3 and this thing looks freakishly inconvenient to me. Once I get the message (SMS), I can swipe it away after being read just in the notification drawer (the one that can be showed by dragging a finger from the top edge down). For the most occurrences this should be ok, as those messages are short enough. But swiping away doesn't mark a message as read, it just removes the notificatoin from both the notification drawer and the status bar. I can see the unread count if I run Messages app.
So the question is
Is there a way to mark a text message as read if I swipe it away in a notification drawer?
I've googled it, but didn't find anything that helped me. I thought of a kind of XPosed module for that, but no luck with my findings.
Do you know how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Eugene
The thing is, the notification is just displayed on the status bar, when pulling the status bar down just to read the printed content and when swiping away it doesn't actually indicate that you've read the message.
The messaging application isn't merged with the status bar, its just a notification. So in other words you haven't actually ready the "actual' message you've just taken a glimpse at it.
Also like this you've seen the book of a phone and what it looks like. But you haven't seen the content and actual things inside the box.
So nope, I don't think so? If there is then this feature will be interesting as to how it'll work.

Do you mean there is no direct association between the message and the notification that the Messages app has sent to a system? I mean, is it just impossible to identify which message should be touched in a database if we have a respective notification? At least, unless Messages will introduce a way to carry this out...
Its not impossible, and I mean that the system and messaging are two different components. The system just operates everything but the message is produced with an application. Thus it does not merge with the system. But the notifications code is referred to the system so the system knows when there is a message so it'll display the notification, but when you swipe it off, it doesn't change the messaging state all the messages is stored in the application. Which is a completely different component(object).

[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.

[Q] Notification bar pop-up settings

On the S6 when you get a notification on WhatsApp for example, the notification blocks the whole notification bar and stays there for an annoyingly long time
So until the bar goes away you can't swipe down the notification bar.
What settings would I need to change in order to fix this? Maybe stop it blocking the whole notification bar every time I get a message.
Sometimes I get more than one message in a row so it will be there for a long time.
There is probably a really obvious answer for this but I have yet to find it
Any ideas?

Its a feature that sadly comes by default in Lollipop and there is no option to disable it. Unless the app specifically allows you to disable Headsup notifications theres nothing to be done. We are sadly stuck until Google or Samsung realize this is a ****ty way to receive notifications and gives us the damn notification ticker from kitkat back..
I just rooted my S6 just to get rid of this stupid heads up.
I found a guide using SQLite editor.
Open folder File then: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Choose Global and find heads_up_notifications_enable and set to 0 instead of 1. Save and reboot.
Worked for me

Not sure if you are aware of this but you can dismiss the message by swiping to the side. Similar to how you would if you were in the actual notification shade.
Took me awhile before I figured this out. I'm much less annoyed by it now.
So theres no way to get the kit kat notifications without root?

Samsung S6 - Internet keyboard anomaly

My partner's S6 has recently received the update to 7 from 6, and she dislikes the whole new style of the Samsung interface and the way the phone behaves.
I believe that most of this can be overcome, but the thing that seems to be bugging her the most is the keyboard change on the Internet browser.
All of the other keyboard on the phone show the "predictive text" bar, and when you press the "period / comma" button is allows you to choose your punctuation for that instance.
HOWEVER, on her phone, there is no predictive text bar, and pressing to add punctuation changes the function of that button to the punctuation you used.
I cannot for the life of me find a way of changing the behaviour or restoring the predictive text bar, and while "install a new keyboard" might see like a viable option, the question still stands of why did they change it!?
I have friends with the S7 and S8 phones that don't have these issues, so I am thinking it is something to the Samsung / EE rom that was installed on her UK phone, or a setting somewhere that I am missing.
Any help is appreciated.

overcoming layout issues

We have a thread already about Textra's send button not working properly because the app thinks you're tapping about a centimeter below it, but I've found similar glitches in other apps - FX File Explorer, for instance, has a menu at the top-right that pops up under the status bar. It seems to me these problems are being caused by apps somehow confusing the tap location by counting from the top of the screen instead of the bottom of the status bar. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the phone *tries* as much as possible to get apps to draw to the top of the screen, under the status bar, and things go wrong when they won't. The most obvious fix, short of getting every developer to look into this or waiting for Essential to do something about it, would be to find a way to make the status bar work more traditionally, with apps not allowed to draw past the bottom of it. The question is, can we achieve that? I've had a look through the system/global/secure settings lists and nothing status bar related pops out at me there, so I'm thinking the next place to look is in the framework code, which I'll do this evening...but I thought I'd toss a thread up and see if anyone had other ideas.
