Annoyed about the 4.3 notification "error" - Galaxy Note 3 General

Apparently in 4.3, Google changed the way the notification alerts worked again. Now the "display notification" option check in manage apps no longer works the way it should. I understand why it was done, but it still sucks. I hate having all that junk up there. On a related note, I really wish we could disable notifications for all apps...

I thought it was specific to my Note 3, but apparently not.

[Q] Disabling Some Notifications

Hi all,
On Sprint Stock OC9, and rooted.
I am wondering if there is a way to disable some of the system notifications like "Charging... xx minutes Until Full" or the "Location Set By GPS". These are rather unnecessary. The GPS icon can stay but I don't need a notification along with it.
I'm sure there's others.. but those are the two driving me crazy right now.
I hear you on the Location Notification. Also don't like the keyboard switcher either!
I didn't even notice the IME wasn't an option in Language and input. I know on AOSP ROMs you can show and hide that one.

Remove keyboard switcher simply by disabling the other keyboards. I'm only using SwiftKey and that's it.

Go into Settings->Sounds and Notifications->App Notifications. You can then turn off notifications on a per-app basis. For some apps, you can actually long-press on the notification and change the setting.

I think the ones I want to disable are all from System UI.... and there are no options...
Ah, I see. Yeah, might need a special root app for that.

Hangouts - Notifications

I thought I would just post this here, it's both my question with my answer as a work around that I found...
My question/ Problem is that my Hangouts Notifications weren't always coming through. Hangouts (and Gmail) is not displayed as an application in my "Notification Center" (in EMUI 4.1). ((I was also trying to turn off the banner display, which I find incredibly annoying. )) It's like it doesn't exist on my phone. Too bad it's a system app, so I can't uninstall and reinstall it. I tried rolling it back and updating it to get it to show up, but no luck. Because it wasn't showing up, I couldn't change it to be a priority notification. (I had already set it to protected in the battery manager with no luck.). My question is: How do I get it to show up in the notification center so I can adjust it?
My work around is to change the notification through the "Apps". I toggled it to be a "Priority Display" and I was able to turn off the banners. Hopefully that takes care of the missing notifications. I'm sure it will take care of the annoying banner.
Has anyone else experienced applications missing from the notification center? For beta testers, is this fixed in the EMUI 5?
My notifications work perfectly fine for Hangouts and Gmail. Like you said, I have the applications setup as being protected. And yes, Hangouts and Gmail may not show up in the notification center, but if you go to Settings>Apps>Hangouts>Notifications, it gives you the option there, including setting as priority. Try that and see if it works for you.

Mi Mix 3 Notification Issues

I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks
For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?
The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.
Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

LOL. Stop fat-shaming it! Weight was one of my biggest concerns coming from a Galaxy S5, and the MM3 is heavy, but you do get used to it after a couple of weeks.

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.
I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.
The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.
I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.
I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

It is sort of thick but is the densest phone I've ever held. Got used to it after a week or two though, I don't think it's a deal breaker

I can't get any notifications! Help!

I got my Note 10 Plus today and everything on it. Anyway, the notification icons do NOT show up on the always on, or on the notification bar on the home screen and on the app buttons. Like if I want to check Gmail or my Samsung email app I have to manually go in and check it.
I checked the apps permissions and I got notifications set on for all of them.
What gives?
Do I need to do factory reset?

Probably a quick toggle accidentally pushed. Check things like do not disturb settings and meeting sync etc.

Me also. Shows Sprint. I get notifications from my V40 which is how I know mail is in unless I check manually.
My Gmail wasn't updating in the background until I went to app settings and TURNED OFF battery optimization for Gmail. It looks like the phone kills the app to save battery, thus stopping new email notifications coming through until you open the app

My GF has a Note 8 and regardless of the settings it loves putting apps to sleep which causes missed notifications. My OP6T used to occasionally get missed notifications but compared to the Note 8 it's very well behaved.
Companies are getting too aggressive with their battery optimisations
I am having this issue as well. I have scoured the web for answers. I have tried all fixes but nothing seems to work. Anyone find a resolve yet?
I had the same issue then figured out it happened with the Goodlock app. Instead of trying to tweak the settings in just uninstalled the app and got all of my notifications back!

Question Watch not getting messaging notifications

So my watch is paired with a Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro, and whenever I get a notification like an email it appears on the watch instantly and works perfectly, but stuff like WhatsApp, Signal or SMS just never appears, like it never even detected it.
I enabled all apps in Galaxy Wear app on my phone and triple checked if those apps are enabled and made sure none of the other options would affect the ability to receive notifications, I tried using the watch with MUIU Optimization on the phone turned on and off and it doesn't make a difference. I have the latest software update for the watch.
Does anyone have any guesses as to why this is happening and maybe how to fix it? Thanks.
Check your settings under notifications in the wearable app to make sure they're enabled. Also make sure your messaging apps are set to alert on your phone. I get that you probably already did this but other than that, there's not too many places to check.
I did everything, the apps are enabled and they show up on phone as expected, the problem is that on the Wear app the notifications from messaging don't even show up on "recent notifications" which I don't see why that would happen. Thank you for the suggestion.

I've had similar issues I've dealt with this in the past. If all notifications work except for social notifications it's always a setting issue. Good luck.
You have "Show Notifications Even When Phone In Use" and " show with details" on?
Also you don't have an app that is intercepting your social notifications?
Also your social notifications are set to "Alert" on your phone? Not silent?

I have "Show notifications even when phone in use" and "Show with details" on. I shouldn't have anything intercepting my social notifications, I also turned on "Show notifications and content" before I had it set to "Show only notification without content". I set social apps to alert on my phone, they still do not show up as recent notification in the Wear app or appear on the watch.
And I'm almost positive it's something on my phone because when I try with my roommates to connect to the watch the notifications actually work and he has a Xiaomi Mi Note 10, I checked his settings with mine and they're identical so I'm not sure what's the issue, there may be something with my MUIU (MUIU Version 12.5.4.0 Global, Android 11)?

Which apps specifically are giving you issues? ALL notifications with a reply action? If so, I would verify that your Conversation notifications are configured correctly
Okay I semi fixed it somehow, here how it got semi fixed, not sure if all steps are needed but that's what I did:
I turned on MUIU optimization, then turned it off which reset all pernissions, went to the Wearable app and the Galaxy Watch 4 plugin and gave them all permission, went to the notification access settings, disabled everything besides the Galaxy Watch4 Plugin then disabled and enable the plugin and notification appeared on my watch.
The problem is that they work immediately after enabling notification access but 30 seconds after and I don't get them anymore and I'm back to the previous problem. Now this is a problem with MUIU which I don't know how to fix, I guess it doesn't want to remember that I gave the app notification access. If someone knows how fix this last step I would be really grateful.

Yes all apps with a reply action, as written in the reply above I did find a way to semi fix it, I was even able to reply to those notification, but the MUIU notification access issue still persists. Searching on the internet didn't give me any meaningful results.
I factory reset my phone, set all the settings the same way and it works..
Disappointment.
