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

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).

HTC Title bar issues

I have done some looking on this issue and it seems that there may be no solution, but I thought I would post in this forum nonetheless to see if anyone had any ideas. One of the little things that bugs me about my touch pro is how the title bar behaves when there are multiple notifications that are awaiting disposition. For example, when there is one reminder, say a task is due, I hit the title bar and the HTC large title bar comes up allowing me to hit the enlarged bell icon and bring up the reminder. This works great for me. However, where there are more than one notifications pending, say a reminder and an new email envelope or a missed call, if you hit the enlarged bubble, a new bar is brought up immediately below the title bar that shows all of the pending notifications -- the trouble is that these notifications on the second level are so damned small that I often need to get out the stylus just to access them. It would be great if this second level of notification bar were also enlarged to make it finger friendly. Any thoughts on whether this can be done?
The second thing that annoys me is the email envelope in the title bar. I am happily using TF3D which gives me a clear indication of how many new emails are in my inbox. However, most of the time, I need to actually open my mailbox to get rid of the little envelope in the title bar. This is redundant and a waste of time (and also exacerbates the issue above with multiple notifications). I don't think there is a solution to this problem, but again thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance.

Bubble Notifications?

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I don't think it is though but anyways
I was thinking of cool ways notifications could be displayed instead of looking at the top (and reading a little at a time) then the idea of having drop down bubbles that pop up automatically and would show the full notification (SMS, USB Debugging, etc). You press the button and it opens the app or pops the bubble (settings maybe)
Well just letting you all in on my idea. I did a quick google to see if its been done on Android and I couldn't find anything.
Ideas?
You mean like the SMS pop up? But applying that same/somilar pop up window for all notifications?

I mean its like a little speech bubble (from Comics) and it drops down from the Notification bar.
Yes!
I was looking for something like this but in the notification bar, if there one text notification and its a long one why not extend out the notification to show all the text. This could make better use of the notification area.

I just hope someone with developing skills could make this and possibly implement it into roms.

4 Solutions to One Annoying android problem

I have seen multiple threads about people asking why android notification ro status bar shows not only the Contact but also the message received via
SMS, or
Whatsapp, or
other social applications.
Now rather surprisingly, this is covered in iphone ios where you can disable notifications and alerts but stil have badges for icons showing missed count. This thread is not for the missed count since we all know how to get them. The issue is how to get rid of the notification bar pull down which shoes your message to anyone using or testing or praising your phone.
There are three possible solutions to this,
Disable notifications.....this cant be done through android os because the only option we have is to disable sms notifications and not for other apps like whatsapp.
Lock the notification bar....this means that even if the notification icon is there, you cant pull it down. Or maybe a passsword to pull it down.
Auto Clear notifications.. This means a utility that automatically "CLEARS" the notifications as and when they are received. Which will mean we stil have the notification sound of a message, the unread count is stil there ons creen but notification is cleared from the status bar
Is there a decent notifications manager on the lines above for android?
Has anyone ever found a way to disable, hide, lock or autoclear the notifications.
I am not talking about hiding the task bar like in launchers. but maybe a way to PERMANENTLY HIDE the status bar.
Someone?
Go to /system/app (Your device is rooted, right?) and freeze/remove SystemUI.apk
If you don't understand what I am saying above, don't try it or it will bring you to more trouble.

I am on LG optimus 3d and root is not an option.
Nevertheless, i understand the framres.apk, but i would want to know more about system UI you mentioned? Mind shedding some light?
thanks
Any help fellows?

[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?

Show full SMS Message in notification

Hello guys,
In my old phones, when an SMS comes in, I slide down the notification panel, I can see the entire content of the message.
But in the Mate 9, I can only see the first two lines.
Problem is when using my banking app. When I request TAC, it comes as SMS the moment I switch to the message app to get the code, the banking app automatically logs out (that is how it has been programmed for security purposes). The banking app also doesn't allow split-screen.
Is there a way to get the notification show the entire message when I swipe down the notification panel?
Thanks
Have you tried swiping down the notification panel with one finger to open it, then using a two-finger swipe-down on the sms notification itself?

Just tried. Didn't work.
Thanks for the tip.
It seems that there is no way to get the notification show the entire message when we swipe down the notification panel.
I think it is maybe by design for security purposes.
It doesn't seem like it's for security if it's still showing the first line. I've had no luck replacing the default messaging app with Signal, either, which should have fixed this problem -- the phone lets me change the default, but then I stop getting any SMS messages at all until I change it back.
