Text Message Notification Problem

Just curious if this is a problem for just me or if anyone else has noticed it as well (Sense problem, maybe?)
When I have a text notification in my drop down panel, I select it, and nothing happens. The notification panel disappears (which you'd expect to happen when selecting it) but my SMS app never opens.
Anyone else? or am I alone?

Are you using stock sms app? You are dragging the app down to the ring right?

Stock app, yes - but not talking about from the lock screen. Just in general.
SMS comes in, alert is in my notification panel, I select it, and the app doesn't actually open.

Could you accidentally be "swipe to clear"ing it?

Nope. the notification stays. SMS comes in, notification pops up, I select it, notification panel goes away, but I'm still in the same app (or homescreen etc).that I was in prior to attempting to open the notification.
SMS app loads fine from homescreen shortcut, but rarely opens from the notification panel.

Have not seen that problem, but have had problems with not receiving notifications every time I receive a message. Perhaps the problems are related? Out of curiosity, have you noticed if the problem happens more often when the phone is charging?
Don't know yet if the update solved the problem...

Well, I rooted and installed LeeDroid, so my problem has disappeared.
Good luck!

I'm still on stock and rooted and I know exactly what youre talking about.

I almost never get a notification when I receive a text. No sound, vibration, no little number on the icon. It seems to not want to notify me when I am using the phone.

Probably a daft question, but have you tried changing the settings from within the Messages app (Open the app, then Settings > Notifications)? These are different from the settings in the Phone Sound settings menu.

Hangouts no notification light?

Anyone notice that a hangouts message doesn't trigger the notification light at the bottom of the phone? Tried a normal message and SMS and neither made the light blink. Anyone else notice this or know what setting I have to change to enable it?

Figured it out, it started working after I enabled the hangouts option in gmail instead of the classic chat.

Problem after VoLTE update

After receiving the update for VoLTE, my phone would go to voicemail after 2 or 3 rings. I went to call settings to adjust the number of rings in the Additional Settings section of the Call Settings. When actually tapping the button for Additional Settings, I get this error shown in the pic. Anyone else experience this?

Try and go to that when not on LTE. Those settings are Plain GSM settings I think. Which apply to edge and HSPA

It doesn't matter wherher or not LTE is off or on...
For good measure, I flashed the KK ROM and checked this settings and they are accessible. After the update, I can't access the settings at all. A call to at&t had them fix the short rings/almost immediately to voicemail problem I had initially.
Not being able to access the settings is not an issue now - I wanted to see of this is something anyone else has experienced.

Constant notifications

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but I'm getting constant notifications on my A9. Doesn't matter if it's an email, text, twitter, missed call, voicemail, snapchat, etc. I'll get the initial notification and every ten seconds later I'll get it again until I clear it from the notification bar. It's getting to the point where I'm about to just turn off all notifications and just physically check every so often or just go back to my M8.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to stop the re occuring notifications?
**edit**
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. :embarrased:
- goto settings
- Accessibity
-scroll down to 'Notification reminder'
- Press this so that it is OFF

Life is always more complicated than you want

This is true, I seem to do that alot lol.

I was having the same problem, thanks for posting the fix as it is not obvious to go into accessibility to turn off these notifications and PS I did turn off all notifications and that did not stop them.

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.
