Do you have the BBM Connection Icon enabled in the BBM settings? Also the All Notifications setting and vibrate setting to on in the same setup menu?

Make sure it's set to vibrate in each individual app and not just the general settings. I've had certain apps do this before but it was because vibrate was turned off in the settings for the app.

Just go into which ever app you aren't getting the notification results you are looking for. Go into the settings for that app. Most apps will have their own settings for notifications in there. You can select custom sounds that will be specific for that app, as well as the option for vibration for received notifications.

Checked everywhere in app settings and also in phone settings of app.. Everything has been enabled...
Remove your facebook account from system settings > accounts, clear the facebook's app cache and data and login back to set everything like it is supposed to be.
You may as well give up on this, i had the same problem and the only solution was to change the ROM. I couldn't receive notifications from either the Facebook app or the Messenger app, despite having all the options enabled. Which ROM are you using at the moment? It's probably the same as the one i had the problem with.

deactivate heads-up notifications from Whatsapp on S8+ ?

Seems like a constantly reoccurring topic:
Anytime I'm using my phone, watching videos or showing others things on my phone, I'll receive any incoming whatsapp message as a very indiscreet pop-up in the top section of my screen.
I've tried using the "adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0" setting that works on some phones... sadly not on the S8+.
There's an App by Jawomo called "noHeadsUp" in the playstore, however this app involves activating (and then partially bypassing) the "do not disturb" function accompanied by the statusbar notification.
Jawomo's App "Headsoff", which worked perfectly on my S6 edge, seems to not be working on Android 7.0
Anyone have a solution to this issue?
(Pop-Up notifications are, of course, turned off in whatsapp's settings)
THANKS!

Yes only way i found now is - ON the Pop-Up notifications to, only show when Phone is OFF in WhatsApp
I had NOTE 7 and we could stop the Preview in that older phone
Why we are not able to that here
This actually disables the notifications from popping up when I'm actively using my phone.. but yeah... now they pop up when my phone is locked... not sure which is worse.
Thanks though.
ive been trying to find an answer to this for over 2 weeks since getting the s8 and still had no joy , had the same issue on s7 but there was a solution to that but doesnt work on my s8.
i have emailed whatsapp developers direct and had no response from them at all.
think the only solution for now is to use a different messaging app and delete whatsapp.
If they didn't remove system ui tuner, we could then stop it. I hate the damn crap always popping up in my face. People seem to talk more when I'm trying to watch youtube and cover the damn video.

There a free app called noheadsup that works for me. Install app and use single app setting scroll down to WhatsApp and you can disable the popup notification in there. I still get vibration alert when I get a msg.
Does it work to go to the Apps manager in the phone's Settings, and turn off Notifications for WhatsApp?

It's called "peek" now and if Samsung left the system ui tuner in, then we could disable just the peek/heads-up.
This is what I did to make it work.
Installed noheadsup
Open app and go to the in app settings (basic settings)
In the first box "disable all" make sure this is not activated
In the second box "disable single" activate this and press settings.
This will load all you apps in a list.
Scroll down to WhatsApp and select it
In this next menu make sure that allow notifications and show silently are both on. Set the "on lock screen" to not show notifications
Go back... And turn on vibration and sound alerts.
For me, the sound alerts don't work but the phone does vibrate and there are no popups. S8+

For that we do not need this App for it to show Silently
we can just go in the WhatsApp settings and
Turn on Show silently
But if the PAID version works with sound i would Pay
Doesn't work for me neither
Same here.
It disables popup, but there is no sound then..
After update i do not get mesg Previews anymore
Tiles
I have successfully disabled heads up notifications for my s8+. Get the Tiles apk by rascarlo from the Playstore, grant adb privilege, enable the head up tile, booom, goodbye intrusive heads up notifications.

Not working here.
Nothing is working.
Only thing that is working is to mute the notifications all together per app... so no sound or vibration. This is really a very bad thing. I hate it.
1. Activate show notifications silently in settings.
2. Download an app called lightflow and set up notifications for WhatsApp.
3. Now you won't get popups, only sound and vibration.

Using this worked for me, no headsup notification but there's still sound and vibration. I think this is the best method because it modifies a system setting instead of needing an app to run in the background all the time (how Lightflow works).

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.

Question Hide incoming call popup for Google Phone app

I am using Google Phone and Contacts app (Samsung apps are terrible to use, although they look better).
When receiving a phone call, on top of the full screen page I see a notification popup: how can I disable it?
If I go into app's notification settings, all is enabled but greyed out, so cannot change.
Thx
Anyone here?

click on right arrow and disable notification
As said, not possible, all greyed out and default to on
You could try with Auto Notification and Tasker
Do you have Google dialer installed? Can you show me how your notification settings look like (enabled or greyed out)?
They are greyed out on Samsung dialer too
I know why... Google is forcing some properties to fixed so that users cannot change notifications. Problem is that they should fix this behaviour which I believe is a bug.
Strange cos my Xiaomi phone does not have this problem: same app version, same settings greyed out.

Can you pls try to also set phone app as default for calls and ask some one to call you, to see if you get the notification? Keep screen off when waiting the incoming call, and try several times.
Thanks

I'm getting the notification. Always did
Strange... It shouldn't be there
Maybe it's because of "floating notifications" in settings. Check it.
By the way I get a similar notification while in another call/Viber call/Skype call even with Samsung dialer.
Google dialer is fugly.
NO, floating notification is to enable the floating popup when minimizing the dialer.
It seems as if when receiving the call with screen off, Google dialer detects the screen is already on, this displaying the full screen + the popup. As a matter of fact sometimes the popup does not show, but when it does (most of the times) it's annoying as hides that caller's nam

I have also had this issue for a while now, and could never figure out how to fix it either. I finally decided to try turning off the "Appear on top" permission setting in the app info section of the phone app. That seems to have done the trick, as now I only get the top pop up when I get an incoming call, then when I answer it goes to the full screen portion like normal. Maybe give that a try and see if it works for you.
