Hello.
Moving from a Pebble Steel watch to an LG G Watch R, I am missing a few key items that is making me re-think about my LG and going back to the Pebble.
One of the most important, key functions I liked was how notifications were stored on the Pebble. Whether I received a text message, WhatsApp, FB message, etc, they remained on my Pebble until I cleared it's local history.
Why is that important? Example scenario: Wife sends me a text during my work day to buy some groceries. She also lists out in the text message the items I need to buy. After work, I arrive at the shop and with no need to pull the phone out, I just scroll down to the notification and read the text message sent earlier in the day from my Pebble.
But in Android Wear, notifications seem to disappear altogether when dismissed. Unless I'm missing something, is this true (that notifications cannot be recalled back later in the day)? I'd hate to return my LG G Watch R as I do like other aspects to it, but the Pebble Steel still represents the most compelling smartwatch proposition by providing functionality I actually need and use.
Thanks in advance for your help!
The persistent notifications will be present in Android wear lollipop...
Just swipe down the notification which you want to recall... Swiping right removes it... Swiping down hides it

Are you talking about the undo dismiss feature?
I've also had several incidents of incoming texts consolidating hangouts messages. When that happens, I can no longer reply to individual messages.
khyasad - For this case, if you share a list in google keep, your wife can edit a shopping list. It's even more handy than reading a text, as you can check off items as you get them.

Hey all,
Just wondering if a 'two-way notification dismiss' option exists on the Gear 2? I also have a Pebble and there's a feature on the watch where if I check a notification on my phone (i.e. Note 3), the notification will dismiss itself on my Pebble as well and vice-versa.
It seems that on the Gear 2, if I check my notifications on my phone, it'll still show up on my Gear 2 until I 'delete' the notification from the notification list on the smartwatch.
Please let me know....thanks!
No way to dismiss a notification two way.

This is something they really need to work on.
Kind of annoying deleting the notifications on both devices.

I agree 100%. This was my first day with it and though I love the thing, I must say this is a little annoying. Also I have noticed that when reading one email as part of a notification, if a second email arrives, i cant read the second email, only the subject. This is through the k9 mail notification which I guess isnt fully supported. Teething problems with it I guess.
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and I flashed the factory image for Android Lollipop. I like the clean design but I don't really like the heads-up notifications. You know, the white pop up at the top that covers 25% of your screen. I'm trying out QKSMS and I see a little icon when I get a message, that's enough for me so I don't need an extra notification. It also sometimes pops up when I receive something from Facebook Messenger, but not always for some reason, which is also quite annoying. So is there any way to disable the heads-up notifications? Thanks in advance!
Agreed. I prefer notifications to be discreet. I don't want the contents of private texts to pop-up onscreen if I'm showing something to a friend/co-worker. It would be nice to be able to choose between the Kitkat style of scrolling ticker text in the status bar and L's heads-up notifications. Or to turn them both off and simply have the app icon appear in the status bar, requiring a notification shade pull-down to view the contents.
Choice is good.
I dislike it because often I can't deal with the notification straight away, but still want it in the notification draw for later. With these heads up notifications (which I get for EvolveSMS) I can't get it out the way without it being completely dismissed, it's annoying.
This could be solved with simply adding the function that swiping up will send it to the notification draw
Yeah I'm currently inclined to stick with KK until I know that the worst aspects of Lollipop can be controlled. Obviously in the absence of Xposed on ART it's difficult to make little tweaks here and there.
Heads-up is right at the top of my list. I have always liked how notifications NEVER attack my screen space in Android 2.0-4.4 and I'm not about to go along with a regression to iPhone-like behaviour. When I can disable it globally or on a per-app basis I'll be much more comfortable with the idea of upgrading.
My other biggest concern: The old Silent mode functionality was to allow user-configured audible alarms, while shutting off all other audible notifications and silencing all vibrations. The new modes, you have to choose between a None that also silences alarms, or a Priority mode that lets vibrations leak through.
It's kind of hilarious actually, this is the first time in history that I've been dragging my feet on an Android upgrade when all my less techie friends are upgrading. In the past I'd be proud to be the first one to upgrade and show it off to everyone stuck on the old version.
So, a few weeks later... Are there any ROMs or mods that allow users to disable the heads up feature entirely across the board?

I hate heads up, they are very intrusive, i prefer something more discreet...
I apololgize for bumping this old thread, but has there been any update with this? I'm looking for an SMS app that allows you to disable the heads up style pop-up notifications, but also allows you to reply from notifications. Textra and ChompSMS allow you to disable heads up notifications on Lollipop, but they dont allow you to reply from notification (like EvolveSMS, QKSMS). I'm looking for an app that incorporates both features. Any luck?
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
Give it a try:

Hi all, I got my Gear S2 3 days ago, and i wonder why i get only the last notification on my Gear S2.
For example: I got someone BBM me with 3 line of message, all messages are into my gear s2 notification, but when i check the notification menu there is only the last message from that contact. Is this normal? Can i change it to show all messages i recieved?
It will better if the buddy app on S2 can send message to social media like bbm or line, etc..
Please Developer make it happen on next update.

It is normal to show the last message in notifications. However, you can go to the message app (if available) and it'll list all of them, at least when using samsung devices. Can't remember on others.

Too bad it doesn't show all the chats, i have gear S too and it show all the notifications i recieved. OOw c'mon..Downgrade feature again samsung..
All you have to do is touch the notification and it jumps you into the text conversation, where you can then scroll back and see earlier ones.

I didn't try yet with text messages, but i used bbm app.
There is no earlier ones, when the multiple message come in from 1 contact (from bbm app, it show me the muliple messages on screen, but if i missed to read it then i just can see it in notification(swipe left on screen) but it only show 1 last message from that contact. So if i dont read the earlier message in my gear S2 how could i reply them. especially when i'm in remote conection via wifi.
It's only pulling in whatever is on your pull down notification on the phone. If the notification is not from an app that has on board gear app( like text), I think you are out of luck.
Hello, I switched from iPhone to Galaxy A52. Instantly noticed that notification systems are different: on iPhone, I could just scroll down into infinity; On Galaxy, it shows only a few recent notifications. So I installed NotiStar — it solved half of the problem, but new problems appeared:
When viewing from the lock screen, notification bubbles are transparent: I can see background, clock, etc. — way harder to read notifications.
On iPhone when I open notification it brings me directly to the source. For example, I receive a message from a friend, click on it, and it opens our chat. Notistar just opens the application. Most of my notifications come from Telegram, where I have like 100 channels and chats — it becomes tedious to search for the right one.
Sometimes my notifications get duplicated. Happens like: I receive a message in Telegram but don't open it, it appears in Notistar. Then I receive 2 more messages. Somehow they are logged grouped with the first one. The process repeats until I view or clear the received message from the notification center.
Please, tell me, how can I fix all that? If not with NotiStar, maybe with another app?
TL;DR: I want a chronological scrollable notification feed, that will bring me to the right chat when clicked
Hello everybody,
I got my device yesterday and i am still trying to sort things and settle down.
I have one question which is driving me nuts.
In my previous phones (latest being OnePlus 6t), i could make the apps (such as instagram and WhatsApp) not to show the message but only the notification badge and how many things i am missing (such as 2 messages, 2 chats or 2 messages 1 chat).
On S22 Ultra, i can hide the context on AOD but the context is always seen on while the phone is unlocked/on homescreen.
Would appreciate if you can help me solve this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Press the notification till you see "settings" menu. Select the notification type you want (push the text, for ex. "new messages for sim 1") Than select "silent" and enable app icon badges. You should be ok.
Nope didn't work. Still can see the message there.
In Settings>Notifications> Lock screen (Display), do you have 'hide content' set?

you mean it makes just beep sound and doesnot wake up screeen? right?

Nope,
This was how my old phones used to act;
If the screen was off, it would wake briefly, show the whatsapp icon and go back to turned off screen.
On the lock screen, when i wake the phone, it would show the whatsapp icon and that is all.
On home screen, when i scroll down, it would show whatsapp icon and number of chats and messages but not the details of the messages (like 2 chats, 3 messages).
But wouldn"t give details like "Nicole: How are you doing"
My new S22 Ultra acts like below;
On lock screen, it acts correct. Only whatsapp image pops when i receive a message.
When it is awake and when it is on home screen, it pops the whole message for me to read. And when i pull down the notification pane, the whole message is there for me to read.
I have fingerprint activated on my whatsapp.
Now, if anybody can read and reply to the whatsapp message by pulling down the notification menu, what the hell is the reason of a fingerprint layer on whatsapp entry...
They can simple send one message to me and they can see whole of the newly received messages.
As well as, this causes the above mentioned issue. Where people can read delicate messages when i am showing something else in a different app...

Yes i do.
That hides it only when phone is locked.
Let me try to post some pics of what i am trying to explain.
Alright got the pics.
At first, you can see the lock screen acts as it should. Doesn't show the context/content
But on the second screen, where it is notification menu scrolled down, the message can be read.
And the same happens if i am doing something with the phone when the message is received.
So, people looking at my screen can see the message.
Please also note fingerprint login is also enabled for my whatsapp. So this totaly kills the point of fingerprint log in.
And when i figure this out, i will also need to hide other notifications as well.
When i receive an email, i will show how it was on my other phone's notification panel.
Since whatsapp doesn't allow multiple devices at once (cellular) i can't show with whatsapp message.
I hope this gives a general idea of what i am trying to sort out.
And here how it was on my old phone. It shows content hidden on notification menu for the apps i have closed preview of.
Whatsapp, instagram etc.
The reason there are 2 separate outlooks is one is a calendar alert and other is actual email.
If i had like 5 mails and no alerts, it would show as one outlook and say 5 emails with one notification.
you can also see that instagram is also hidden as content.

I know it won't fix everything... but just Messages and Whatsapp in the meantime.

At least i sorted the WhatsApp.
Having 2 messaging app doesn't help.
One doesn't have the options you showed, but it also have the block/blacklist option.
I also need to find where the app lock is on Samsung. Where i can fingerprint lock the apps i choose to.

I presume that's your Android messaging version there, cause i only use the Samsung one.
You'll find it in Play Store
I need help!
One thing I had hate on my 22 Ultra is the combined notification sounds. I want to separate system sounds, text messages sounds and app sounds. Nothing seems to be working. It all comes back to this screen and it's all combined. I need away to separate them.
Any help?

Go to Apps section.
Select the app you want to configure.
Click on Notifications.
Notification categories.
You will be able to select individual sounds for everything separately.
Some will be trial and error tho
