App Update Notifications disabled but still appearing?

Samsung S3 on 4.3. I've disabled app/game update notifications under the Play -> settings area however I continue to get app/game update notifications. Phone has been restarted a few times and the setting toggled a few times. Maybe I'm being dense here but is there something else I need to to?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I think that is just the notification when there is an app waiting for you to update, but when you're on wifi it auto updates and notifies you it updated the app. That's my take on it, but I don't know specifically what notification you're getting and never tried to disable that notification

The notifications I'm seeing now are for automatically updated apps while I am on WiFi.

No, you can not disable the app update notification.

[Q] No smart lock?

I updated from KitKat to lollipop via OTA and am using a pin number as my lock screen. However I have no option to enable smart lock. Anyone know how to fix this?
PS. I won't be reflashing lollipop if I can't fix this

I noticed it didn't appear immediately after the upgrade to Google Play Services 6.5. Have you tried a reboot?

Any resolution on this? I got sick of waiting for my 2013 nexus 7 to get lollipop so I did a sideload. Everything works fine I just don't have any smart lock options. I've tried uninstalling updates to play services then updating via google play, rebooting, then sideloading the current version of play services and rebooting and I still have no smart lock option...

Just seen this. No rotation

Auto-rotate screen is a checkbox under Accessibility.

If you've got lollipop installed, but don't have the Smart Lock option under Settings > Security, you've probably not enabled it as a Trust Agent. Go to Settings > Security > Trust agents (down at the bottom) and you should see Smart Lock (google) with an on/off switch next to it. It needs to be set to on for you to see the Smart Lock option. Once it's set, you can use the a device (bluetooth or NFC), your location or your face as a method of bypassing the lockscreen without entering the PIN. Hope that helps...

google messenger app

when i receive a text my screen does not automatically turn on when im usuing google messenger. is there a setting i need to activate to make it work?

I've never had it turn on regardless of the phone I'm using. I believe that's how Messenger is. I don't think you can change it.

AcDisplay changes the whole lockscreen, I just wanted the screen to switch on for a few secinds like active display and adaptive display in moto X and nexus 6 when any notification is received to glance it quickly on lockscreen without having to pick the phone press the power button

Interactive lockscreen notification questions...

I never thought I'd say this, but coming from an iPhone and I feel like Apple actually has the better notification system. Is there a trick with EMUI to get notifications to be able to open from the lockscreen? I don't want to have to go all the way in to the app to reply to a text (stock app) or email (Google inbox). It seems as though you can do nothing with the lockscreen notifications besides look at them. I'm talking the main screen by the way, not the actual notification screen. Please help a returning Android consumer of you can. I'm hoping there's just a setting somewhere I'm missing to get this to work. Thanks!

Maybe this?

Yea I get the notification on the lockscreen, I just can't do anything with it other than double tap to open the respective app. With the iPhone, I can reply to a text or email directly from the lockscreen without ever leaving the lockscreen.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

If you install/use Textra instead of the stock text app, I believe you can reply directly from the notification.

Yes that's the route I'm going to have to go. Thanks for the replies...Stock just doesn't do it.

In fact huawei notifications are not actionable. I doubt it'll be same for third party apps too

Setting-notification management-setting(top right corner)-when device is locked.

FYI, I have noticed one strange oddity when replying to texts directly from the lockscreen in Textra, vs. unlocking the phone and replying: when typing in my keyboard (I use Swiftmoji), press & hold on keys doesn't work. For example, to do an exclamation point in this keyboard, you press & hold the period, which brings up the exclamation point, question mark, etc. Press/hold doesn't work. But if I unlock and continue my reply, it works.
Personally, it's not a big deal to me to unlock the phone and reply from the app, except when the phone is sitting on my desk. I'm not really sold on the rear mounted fingerprint sensor. My phone is most often laying near me face up.

Dumb question, but how do you get to that when the device is locked?

There is a setting called when device is locked.

Crap...Got excited when I found that, but didn't make a difference. Thanks anyway..Thought that may have been the simple setting that I was missing.

Never mind, you got it.

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

Thanks, but as you can see from the picture I posted, I know how to do it. The problem is the split screen option is not available.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.

Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
