[Q] Can not delete notifications

My SW2 has a bad behavior that after a few notifications even if I try to remove all notifications it lost something and does not delete.
I´d like to know if someone already fix it or have a workaround since it´s making me nuts.
I already tested all kind of apps and now i´m using watchit!. It appears to be a lost of pointer in internal DB just a guess.
thanks

I have the same problem. Really annoying. Were you ever able to find a solution. I hate having to do a reset on the watch to clear the notifications.

Works OK for me. Just swipe notification "bar" down,press menu button and then press X

In fact you just stop to show them. If you go to an application like Watchit you will see several notifications and you can't delete all only resetting the watching. Funny part is that is not boring more people over here...
I already test several notifications app. The same for all. The problem is with SO. I´m waiting Huawei Watch launch and I´ll be moving to Android Wear.

There are steps to clear all notifications on your SW2:
swipe notification topbar down
click menu button
click "x" button

Disable Google Now card notification?

Anyone know where to disable these notifications?
I would still like to see the cards in Google now.. But I don't want these notifications.. Never had them appear before...
Thanks guys!
Sent from my SM-G920F

I would also like to know this. I've had the card notifications disabled for months and just this past week they've been showing up. The option for notifications is still disabled in settings.
I don't want to have to block notifications from the whole app because that would block reminders too right?
This must have to do with an update from Google.

I'm experiencing this as well - seems like it just started a week ago when there was an update. It's extremely frustrating not to be able to disable the notifications of spam (stories, articles, recipes, totally random stuff) and leave things like reminders and whatnot. **sigh** Google why did you do this to me? I really do not need a notification that there is a Chipotle three miles away from me.

Really? Chipotle is the best!
But seriously....These notifications are annoying .. can't find where to disable...

I'm also getting annoyed by these notifications. I guess we don't have a way to shut them off yet?

Go to...Google now> settings> now cards> show notifications! Turn it off, still will get cards in Google now.

Me too -- the first thing I did was check the notification settings for Google Now via Google Settings. I've even tried turning notifications on and then turning them back off. But they keep showing up. Maybe it's a bug and not an intentional feature.

Maybe it's buggy Google since they seemed to have messed up ok Google. I don't get any notifications with that setting off, tried on two phones.

Me three. Ugh!

Don't you hate when the functionality of something changes and they don't default it to the setup that you had before the change?
Surely, when this was released they should give you the option of enabling or staying with what you had?
Of course, that would be the professional way of doing things, sad that it doesn't exist at Google.

Xperia xz dual sim notification sounds problem

Hi All,
Recently I got my xperia xz dual sim and directly updated it to Nougat.. So dont know how it is on 6.x
I noticed something weird. Basically with whatsapp notification sounds so far. When i get a whatsapp message, sometimes the notificatiom tone works normally and sometimes it is cut.. I mean sometimes i hear just the first part of it.. Did anyone see this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Did anyone face that?
Thanks,

any news friends?

Seriously no one noticed it? :fingers-crossed:

I don't use WhatsApp, but I noticed another weird notification glitch. And this may seem different to yours, unfortunately.
I have an app (my local ISP's) which, very rarely, pops a notification regarding an offer or a service update. And when that happens, the notification sound is different (something I did not set as it is not customisable) and, worse, it JUST DOES NOT STOP! It keeps buzzing and buzzing and buzzing. Dismissing the text from the drop-down does not shut it either, and I am forced to restart the device. This didn't happen with any other app, though (and most of those pop up notifications way more often).
Likewise, another annoying bug I noticed was that the phone/system update notifier became a constant presence in the drop-down even if THERE WAS NO UPDATE on offer from Sony.
Full resets did not help and, anyway, I decided to move on. Cashed in on an attractive offer and traded it for a Google Pixel earlier today.
I hope you find a solution to yours, a_k_gano.

Thanks alot for your reply. it is different than mine.. seems everyone has his own impact

Did you try reinstalling WhatsApp?
On that note, I noticed notification and ringer sounds to "cut" abruptly when I tried listening to them while, for example, choosing a tone (be it notification, alarm or ringer). I am referring to the sounds menu under Settings. Come to think, this comes closest to what you have described and no, I didn't find a solution to that either.

this happens to me randomly... when i receive a notification, sometimes it cuts and sometimes it works normally... mainly happens with whatsapp or this is what i noticed so far. I reinstalled whatsapp, I did factory reset to the phone... but no progress so far.

I can say.. for two days after the 7.1.1 SW update, the problem stopped happening

Oh good! I did get an alert on my email that a new update is ready. But I don't have the phone, traded it up for a Pixel.
This is 7.1.1 and not 7.1.2?

you use whatsapp beta or original one from play store
7.1.1 don't have the problem

Random notification sounds or vibration?

Since I purchased the S8+, I've been getting random vibrations when it's in my pocket or when it's in my hand (when muted), and random notification sounds (when not muted). It's up to date, notification reminder and smart alert are both off. I've read that other people are experiencing the same problem but no solution has been found.

Ya I've gotten a few random vibrations too
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app

No sounds here but definitely vibrations at least once a day randomly..
I wonder what it is..

I get them too, I think it might be something to do with the weather app/widget updating

That's been driving me crazy I'll pick up my phone and it'll vibrate for who knows what reason.

I disabled my weather app and widget, but everything is still the same. This is very frustrating, I hope Samsung fixes it ASAP.

I can confirm this problem. Random vibrations. Sound on, vibration on. I thought was only my phone. Exynox version

Is NFC on and it's getting close to what it thinks is a tag? Is it in a case with your bank cards in?

Nope, NFC is off and it's not close to any credit card or NFC device. I'm clueless.

I believe it's a bug with the fingerprint sensor.

Had this on my other phone. It was yahoo mail app.
It would go off whrn i git emails from people i repy to or updates on orders.
Took a while to find it
My wife also had this problem but tyrn out to be another app.

I have the same issue too.
More times a day i feel single short vibrations, but without any notification.
I tried to ask samsung customer care, but they do not know the problem.
They told me to try using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem was gone.
So to understand if it was a phone problem or of a third party application.

Phantom vibrations, look it up.

Do i have to look for phantom vibrations?
I did, but i can't find any solution

This is Dave4777, I just spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T and Samsung turned off almost every app I have that has a Notifier except the ones that I want which make a different notification than my default one period and I'm still getting the random sounds and vibration together or if it's muted I get vibration only. Random no idea why neither does Samsung have any clue. Very frustrating especially for such a high end phone

Figured out what it was on my s8+. My notification reminder was on. I assume the weather app triggered it. Turning it off fixed the issue.

SOLUTION:
Settings>accessibility>notification reminder>off

S8 random notification sound SOLVED!
In notifications settings i switched off notification reminder. The sound is gone by me.Try that

It's either NFC, the finger printer scanner, GPS location services or the commonly forgotten S-Pen (is it loose or missing?)

Go to settings menu, then accessibility, then turn off notification reminder.

Weird Oreo notification problem

Okay so this is really weird and I don't know how to describe it but I will try my best
I really enjoy Oreo but there is a strange problem with the notifications that I have, so I thought maybe I'm not the only one
It goes like this: for example whatsapp, but it happens in all apps as far as I have noticed
if a person X sends me a message, I get a normal heads up notification
but when another person Y sends me a message, a heads up notification will pop up, but it will show the contents of the person X
if another person Z sends me a message, I will still get a heads up notification from the first person X
Does anyone else here have the same problem? Could someone help me solve it because it's really annoying and I miss important notifications constantly...
Thanks
EDIT: Already tried wiping the phone... didn't help unfortunately
Also notification dots don't seem to work for me, like mentioned in the other thread

Anyone?

That's a whatsapp bug probably caused by a poor code refactoring/update to the new oreo notificaiton fw. Stop reflashing your phone and wait for a whatsapp update. (which previously had so many bugs with the notifications).
**And notification dots are not implemented yet. It's also missing from the xperia home beta. More features will hopefully come in following sony updates... Stressing on the hopefully part lol...

This happens with WhatsApp and Signal, that I noticed. It doesn't really annoy me tho, to be honest. I could just slide the notification panel down and read the old notifications

Then it's not only WhatsApp that has the bug.
Guess we have to wait for all the apps to be updated...bummer
EDIT: I think this has something to do with Sony, because my friend that uses a OP3 doesn't have this problem.
