Notifications are on even though they've been turned off - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I'm on stock nexus 5.
I have turned off notifications in my apps, but I still keep getting them. It's annoying me. Anybody know why? For instance, living social and fandango keep having notifications pop up and I can't figure out why.

Are you disabling the notifications in each specific app itself?
What I do, is go to Settings > Apps > Click on the app in Question, un-check the Show Notifications box and I am usually good to go.

Wow, thanks. I didn't know you had to do it that way. I was just disabling in the app itself.

Hey, right on! Glad you got it working good!

You can also long-click the notification itself and disable notifications from the offending app right there. Saves some trouble.

Annoying notification...

What is this that... the + in the circle, left of the vibrate icon. (Screen shot included)
I looked on google and I can't find this "turn on notification" option...
Location services are off.
It's still part of the notifications. When they are turned on you get 3 lines to three right of it

Any way to make it disappear?
Flash a Rom. There may be a mod in developers section to get rid of that location services icon.

I think it has something to do with GPS. I was curious of it too and I read about it in the manual.

Found out it's the e911 location. Can't be disabled on stock but roms can remove the icon.

Text message solutions

Hey guys, one of the things I was looking most forward to with the JB update was to have quick reply to text message capability in the notifications. I'm stock not rooted, obviously I was wrong to think we were getting this functionality. My question is this.. Is there an app that will allow me to quick reply to text messages from the notification pull down? Without rooting? This is a small feature I know, but it is something that would very useful to me. Appreciate any feedback.

I don't think there is one to allow you to reply from the notification pull down, but Go sms has a quick reply notification feature.

Voicemail notification

Hello. I have this big question. It's burning my insides. My voicemail notification keeps telling me I have a voicemail. Yet I call and it tells me there is none. At all, and Its making me mad as hell. And yes I trolled the hell out of the internet to find a solution... only found a temporary one which is clear the phone app data. Which the notification reappears reappears after a random reboot. So I come to you with my problem, asking you how the funk do I fix this shizzle.

Try leaving yourself a voicemail from another phone, then listening to it.
Also, in dialer, press menu button to go to settings then set back your voicemail number to your number. That can also help.
Voicemail notification (icon) is carrier related/supported. Call your carrier to check/complain.
Manage application /all/phone, clear data & cache.

Chrome keeps auto sharing to Pocket with giving me choice?

If I set a default share app in another app, like twitter, Chrome will also use that as a default share app, not giving me a choice in the matter. Why this change?
Same issue here, but I haven't even chosen a default share app. I chose to share to gmail in my twitter app and now most apps are sharing automatically to gmail.

I don't have that issue...both of you mentioned twitter, that's probably to blame

It's still doing it even though I cleared defaults. I don't get it.

I'm having this problem too. Seems to be a bug with Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/i...nd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Yes, I have to keep clearing app defaults in settings, because chrome is remembering share settings from other apps for some reason and using it for itself, with no choice.

Same here. Each time I try to share a page with chrome it opens "import to Google drive". The only way I found to get the share choices back is to deactivate Google drive

I'm having the same problem its just copying to clip board not giving me the share via menu at all. Same with the XDA app BTW.

Alright I fixed it. You need to go to Apps I. Settings and go to the 3 dot menu on top right and reset apps preferences like so. Yay!

No offence but you didn't fix anything..you just reset app prefs like most people know. There's still a bug, it just happens again...

That sucks I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Google needs to seed a fix soon too many pot holes in this build for the N5.

Had this problem too but clearing app defaults worked for me. For now anyhow..

Is there a way to set an app as the default option for sharing? I only want to share to Pocket in Chrome and Twitter etc. Is that possible?

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal
Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.
Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

I've got trickster mod free but just went through it all and no option for app ops

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.
