Notifications

The curve interests me as a way to view notifications without going into the device, but does it actually work like this?
In demos so far it looks like the screen is dimmed and bar active in night mode where you can then swipe for notifications, but could you say have the bar always tell you how many of X type you have and then you swipe to view before deciding if you want to go in I wonder, this could be an actual useful feature for the edge for my use.

I don't than most know yet, but since they are leaving it open source. Other devs can program different things.

Now people have the phone, wondering if they could update oh this.
Phone is still on desk with screen off. An email arrives. Any edge action?

Text messages show up on the Edge even when the phone is switched off but it also wakes up the main screen in the process. I noticed if the fingerprint lock is activated then you just hear the sound but dont see any notification.
I have also set other notifications but it doesn't seem to wake the edge panel. If the phone screen is turned on, notifications show up on the edge screen otherwise not. This annoys me buy hopefully firmware update will address these issues.

I seen some videos and it seems to suck. You have to turn the phone to read them.
There should be a update to set it ti work like a normal android. Only time will tell.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah. An example, at night I received a message from ebay the notification sounded but the phone stayed asleep. I could rub the edge screen and it would display it in scrolling action with other notifications.
It seems like a software issue though. Hoping for a fix soon.

On our list of things to make a separate app for

NowNotifier development

Hello, I'm the developer for the NowNotifier application and decided that the comments in the Samsung store is a bad place for me to keep track of feedback, so decided to start this thread.
Feedback is always welcomed.
Johann
Todo:
* Fix for reading messages.
* Option to hide app after action DONE
* No notifications on sleep mode
* Exit to home / watch screen

Hi,
Nice to see you here. Hopefully we will see a new release with enhancement and bug fixes soon

Thanks, had to freeze development while the app was being judged and had to take care of other projects. Right now my priority is to fix the message display, do you have anything to report that needs to be fixed?

This may be some sort of error on my part, so please bear with me. My only complaint is when using your app the Now Notifier screen seems to stick around. I do have my watch set to wake up to last screen used as that is the only way the Endomondo app is useful when running. Is there a way to turn this off.

If you have autohide on, and don't touch the notification, it should hide automatically. If you touch it, you should swipe up to down past the green screen to dismiss the application.

Got it...thanks. Would it be possible in a future update to allow for the autohide timeout to be changed by the user to something shorter?
Edit: Just received an email through Nine (me email app on my phone). I got the notification through NN, replied to it with NN and the NN screen stayed on the screen until I made it go away. This is what I meant earlier. Is this something that's limited by the APIs, or is it something that can be configured to go away on its own?

What would you consider shorter? If I do it I would prefer to consolidate everything together so more like a selection between none / 5 seconds / 10 seconds / 30 seconds / 1 minute so that way there is no 2 options for the same thing, what you think?

Is the autohide for the NN screen or the notification itself. If for the notification, the choices of 5/10/20 would probably be ideal, at least to me. If it is for the NN screen, then just a standard 5 seconds would be fine. I wouldn't think you would want it to not show up as all; I mean you want your name out there and all, I get that.
By the way, did you see my edit above?

The NowNotifier screen is more for you not to leave by error the app when you don't want it because when you get to it, you are a swipe away from leaving the application.
I think I got it, the auto hide is when you receive a notification. As soon as you touch the application, the autohide stops so you can browse/read your notification. If i understand you well, you want to dismiss the application once you execute an action (like reply) is that correct?

Correct.

Well then yeah, that would have to be a new option something like "Hide application after action" and that basically wouldn't have a delay, once you click the button it hides.

Just came here to say thanks to you! Really love your app! Already rated it with 5 stars!

I just thought of another "issue", please don't take this as nit-picking. I really do like your app.
I use the stock sleep app at night. This silences notification and keeps the screen from coming on in the middle of the night. Your app still goes off throughout the night and I never remember to turn off your app until after the first time I'm woken up by the buzzing on my wrist. Is it possible to make your app "respect" the sleep mode?
I am not a developer and only have a very generic understanding of api's and such, so this may not be feasible.

Did you email me about that before?
Yes I'm looking into it, by default I just post the messages that the phone broadcast, so I need to find out a way for me to know when the phone is in that mode to block the messages. No luck so far, but still looking into it.
I'll update the main post with a wishlist and work through it later.

No, I never emailed you... But that must mean I'm not the only one who thought of it. Thanks for starting this thread.

Yeah I got some a question about it some time ago, didn't know about that functionality so I'm looking into it. Yeah between emails and see if comments were updated, I saw a question about the application in this forum, so decided what a better place to keep all the feedback in one place.
Also at this moment I'm doing some live development, testing my encoding PC for other project so feel free to drop and keep the feedback going :good:

Here is a quick demo for the hide after action

Ok I have a list of enhancements I would love to see:
Phone app:
1- When first installed, all applications are enabled (checked) by default, it takes a while to uncheck the applications you don’t want to receive notifications from. Maybe a "check/uncheck all" button.
2- Option to receive notifications on Gear and vibrate while keeping screen off.
3- Option to not show notifications on Gear when phone is used “i.e. screen on and unlocked”.
4- Option to dismiss notification on Gear when it is dismissed from phone, and vise-versa.
5- Option for to exclude notifications from “ignored phrases”.
6- Option for “Night/Do not disturb” times.
7- Provide option for different vibration “duration” for each app
Gear app:
1- Theming option (dark background & light background)
2- “Text size option”.
3- You should queue all the notifications received.
4- Swipe right/left for next/previous notification. Swipe down to dismiss. And tap for notification text/details. Swipe up for (suggestions?)
5- After dismissing the last notification, app should go back immediately (1 sec delay?) to watchface.
And most important of all, stability, stability and stability. The problem I have seen with all the notification apps is stability and usability issues. Often they either hang, crash or stop receiving notifications for some reason or another. And that is very frustrating.
Honestly, if you want you app to be the best notification app (whether free or paid), you should look at the two other similar notification app and combine the best features with your app which I believe provides the best visual experience but lacks in features.

Thanks for the list Renegade!
You should have seen this app the first revision 2 months ago, it was as plain as it gets :laugh:
Some stuff is doable, other might not, right now is limited by my limited knowledge of Android an Tizen, like you say I like to work more on stability so for me is means to add 1 or 2 new features per release.

Notifications fixed?

Hi,
I had an Honor Note 8 and notifications any came through if apps were open in app memory, or if they had a widget.
Adding them to a whitelist/ignoring battery optimisations did not work and notifications were blocked and only came through when you opened up the apps.
Is this fixed in the Honor Note 10?
Could any users please test by closing all open apps from app memory and seeing if notifications come through for the following apps:
eBay
Etsy
Amazon seller app
Google Hangouts
WhatsApp
Facebook messenger
This is the only thing holding me back from buying this phone. It doesn't look like a Global version will ever be released and I need to know if the Chinese ROM still kills notifications.
Thank you

Hi buddy
I have noticed when my screen is off for a bit then when I open WhatsApp loads of notifications come through.

Even with those option it does not work on note 8. We had to remove an APK called powergenie from the system to stop it from killing app even if those app are whitelisted.
Huawei power management is too aggressive.

One year I used Note 8 with Nougat and no problem with Power Management! Upon upgrading to Oreo system it automatically shuts down applications in the background, and it also does Note 10 ... ?

Phonemanager was the problem here on the Note 8. When i disabled that everyting worked great.

There are 2 settings that will totally minimize this problem (even Galaxy note 8 and iphones of my brothers are having this problem too)
but if you follow these 2 steps you will definitely minimize them as much as other phones
1. Settings/Battery/App Launch and set individual aps you like to get the notification to Manage manually
- turn all the 3 options on here (running in background , startups , and can be run by other apps) this will stop your phone from killing these specific apps from running in background
The second reason you don't get your notifications is because when your screen is off the Wifi will be disconnected first and then for a certain period of time , the system will also turn off your mobile data to save the battery as well. This means even if you have those apps running in background , you still won't get the notification because there's no internet connection....
So step 2 - go to Settings/Battery/ then look at the top right corner for the "gear" icon ,click ---- > Keep mobile data on <----- turn on option
(if you don't have mobile data plan and only rely on your wifi connection,well, you need to turn on keep your w-lan on instead )
Have fun and cheers

Thanks, but I did all of this on the Note 8 (when I had one) and it did nothing. All of my notifications were blocked. The only way to fix it was to remove the awful PHONE MANAGER app via the ABD removal method.
If the Note 10 is going to be the same, I'll have to pass. I just want a phone that'll work properly out of the box.

No problem with WhatsApp, messenger eBay and Facebook so far, everything comes straight thru.
I did however observe sligh delay with Gmail.
Even with Gmail widget active in the background emails come at least one minute later after sending from another device.

I am using the Honor Mediapad X2 and having the same notifications issue, please note that there exists a HIDDEN WHITE LIST within Phone Manager where certain apps like Whatsapp are white listed and allow notifications to come through whereas other apps such as Hangouts and email clients are not. Having said this, do not use Whatsapp as a test to determine whether the Note 10 has the same issue or not. I do not know whether the Note 10's white list now includes apps such as Hangouts as it is a newer device and so it may be more up to date.
For your test, try an unpopular app which uses standard GCM protocol, kill the app, put the device into DEEP SLEEP (screen off, etc) and only then see if the device wakes up and notifications come through, they should.
Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!

The problems that i had on the Honor 8 are not on the Honor 10. I get all notifications with no problems. Just set the apps in manual mode and select all 3 options in phonemanager -> startup apps.

Hi
I am sorry to disappoint you. On the Huawei Honor note 10 (EMUI 8.2.0 build 132) you won't receive notifications if the application is closed (not running in the background nor in the foreground), with one exception that I have found so far: WhatsApp.
All the settings you can modify only affect the application WHILE IT'S RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, that is, the app will keep running if the background and won't be killed if you disabled battery optimization for the specific app and changed the App Launch setting to "Manage Manually" with all 3 options enabled. However, if the application was closed by you or never launched after restarting the phone, you won't receive notifications even with disabled battery optimization and power management.
I am so frustrated, I don't even get reminder notifications from Google Keep notes app. The only workaround is to manually open all the apps you wish to get notification from when you power up the phone.
If anyone has a better workaround or has a different behavior than what I described, please advise!
Cheers,
David

Hi,
Unfortunately I believe this is per design and not a bug (Huawei strict battery saving policy.
The only way to guarantee notifications is to open the app you wish to get notifications from and keep it always running in the background.
Read the article below, it explains down to the bit level why notifications don't work on Huawei phones:
Damn I cannot post outside links because I am a new user. So Instead, search Google for this:

Secret code to change Network code and Sales code aka CSC code *#243203855# is functional.
Since some of us installed T-mobile firmware on devices from other carrier or factory unlocked devices from Samsung, this menu helped me to get rid of T-mobile's annoying Magenta boot screen.
Thanks to following people to help test Android Pie build and report the features that are broken or not working:
@Zenia
@taifuller
@Dyuntt For Secret code to change CSC code finding.
Thank you all for great support to this thread. As the pole suggested to include new features on each builds as well for that I will need some help to compile list. If anyone is interested to help and test to compile a list together with me, it will be much appreciated and list can be compiled faster. Please PM me

Samsung Pay was working fine for me until I decided to clear data of the app because it was not taking fingerprints, and guess what it stopped working for good. I will add that to the list

For AOD try to clear data for Always On Display app from Settings>>Apps>>Show System Apps. That should do the trick.
Samsung Theme is not fully baked yet and is not able to apply theme throughout the system, so I suppose I can add that to the list.
Thanks for the update for DeX, I dont have a DeX with me to try it out but I can add that to the lis as well.
Can you explain more about custom sounds. I am not sure if I understood what you meant.
And what is the build number you are on, is it CRI5 or CRI6? Please let me know, because I have intended to make list based on builds

CRI6 cannot be installed on top of CRI5. Update package looks for Oreo ARG8 and hence fails on installing. To install CRI6 I flashed ARG8 through odin without resetting. I was stuck in bootloop after that but I decided to sideload CRI6 on top of bootlooping ARG8. And surprisingly it worked and i am running CRI6 as of writing this post.

Night theme toggle seems to be working. Though light theme has not been fully implemented yet.
Fingerprint sensor is not functional. It keeps saying its not responding while adding fingerprints.
I can see little difference in audio while toggling dolby atmos options. So its seems to be in the work.
Looks like Messages app has updated look. At least the Activity with list of messages. Conversation Activity still has same look. I wonder if app versions are different. Mine is version 10.0.00.19
Havent got enough time to play with other stuffs though

Look like it's not worth to change from 5 to 6 yet
Probably will wait for more stable version
Also if you will go to updates in settings it's still showing ARG8 version

App:Always on Edge. Using notch cutout for notifications.

Hey guys.
Stumbled upon this on YouTube. Bought the app and I can confirm that it works.
This is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Here's the video I found on YouTube:
I managed to get it setup just the way I like. The guy in the video is a bit hard to understand but the video is good enough to get you started.
If your looking for a deeper dive into the optimal configuration process try this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/workaround-missing-notification-led-edge-t3919286
Enjoy!

thanks a lot =)
But is it posible to set different colors for different apps?
for example
green = whatsapp
blue = facebook ....
UPDATE: there is an option .... "when a notification comes" there you got the option "select enabled aps ots color and time" the blue button =)

Thanks for the effort.
Just tried it, buggy as hell and didn't play nice with my lock screen. Also every 30 seconds the screen would flicker.
I'll keep an eye on it and maybe try again after more refinement.

I had nothing but issues out of the app. Notifications wouldn't notify, the lock screen turned on and off randomly, there were no edge lighting effects no matter what I adjusted. I even tried to use the camera cutout, it again did not work.
This is a VERY bloated app, containing a LOT of features and options that frankly, are of no use to me or of no interest to me. I want an app that it's ONLY purpose is to alert me when I get messages, calls, and email. one that does not have so much bloat so that the developer can focus on the feature that is most sought after at the moment.
Just my two cents.
tl;dr App is junk, has too much junk, we need a debloated app.

It's a start...

Come on! This app might not be right for you, but the developer should at least be given some credit/thanks for the effort taken to solve a problem, for which several users are seeking a not really forthcoming solution from Samsung. You "want an app...", but the developer created something and shared it. Granted, the app has far too many options and choices, but I was able to get it working to my satisfaction. Let's be thankful first .

Okay, okay, okay. I may have been a little harsh. I didn't mean to demean to developer. I am very thankful they have taken the time to create this app out of the kindness of their heart, as well as make the app free. I appreciate the work they have done and I would even donate if I could get the app to work; however it's not very user friendly tough, and in my opinion, could use a lot of work on many different aspects.
My main issue with the app is that it does not work as intended. I have tried using the youtube video settings, playing with options, etc.
I download and re-install this app about 5 times a day in hopes that MAYBE one time I can get it to function as intended. But I do not get any kind of Edge lighting or Notch cutout alert when I get messages, and that is the sole purpose of my attempts with this app, if I could find something similar or something that better served this purpose I would use it instead.
Sometimes, while using the apps lock screen, it will display the little icon and the message but then it goes away, and doesn't re-alert like it is suppose to, and the light affects do not appear. I have tried leaving it as the stock color and using a custom color. I have tried using the app lock screen, I have tried using the settings within the app to let it manipulate the wallpaper and lock screen, tried it with an image and also just a black background. I never even delved into setting different colors for apps, I can't get the dang notifications to work!
end rant

Do you have edge light on? Worked for me first try. I am not saying its 100% but for free and for now to wait to see if Samsung might give us we want I will leave it on my phone.

hello,
with this app is there a setup to leave the screen off when a notification comes in and only the cam ring turns on then?
thanks

Yes

it is working a bit strange for me as well. I've managed to get it to ALMOST work how I want, but I can't figure out why it will do random things
-- for a while it was turning on my screen when the edge lighting came on, which was pointless. I changed a lot of settings in troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what I did to fix it
-- also, it does notify every 30 seconds even though I have no new notifications. that one I haven't figured out yet
It does work as advertised though, despite the bugs I can't fix. It will either light up my edge lighting or the notch around the camera (which I prefer). so props to the dev for figuring that part out and here's to hoping the rest of the bugs get worked on the S10 (and my S10+). it seems to be working for other devices (I originally found it here for the oneplus)

you need to disable edge lighting in setting to use this app or else it will conflict since this app does wake up the screen while edge lighting is not.
if u enable both that mean this app waking up the screen, then edge lighting will also showing (coz edge lighting while screen is on is applied). you will have both notification then

thanks! Not sure if it was changing that setting that helped, or their recent update I got yesterday, but the weird behavior has seemed to subside for a bit... I'll give it a few more days of testing to see if I can find anything else weird, but so far so good. I might also try swapping out the default color with individual colors for each app soon. Glad the dev seems to be open and receptive to feedback and willing to keep his app updated to fix various bugs found

The Reminder Notification Option
Has anyone successfully gotten the reminder option to work? When used, this is supposed to repeat the notification lighting for a brief period, if a notification had been unanswered for a period of time (30 or 60 seconds - I think). However, I could not get that to work - or at least replay the lighting. incidentally, I notice that Sakitech did not "fully" demo this feature in his Youtube tutorial. He mentioned it (at about 6:08), but did not show it working, I suspect (only speculating...) that he edited it out of the video because it does not work properly.

If anyone has the right settings for **** please share.

Thanks! The only setting I have differently is "double top to close" instead of "swipe up to close". Otherwise, I have been using these exact settings . As usual, at the moment that the screen should display the reminder, all that happens is the phone vibrates, but the light is not illuminated or display any visible interaction with the AOE lighting app.

Yeah, I see what you mean. My app as well will not work properly. I don't know what is going on? I have reached out to the developer and still not able to resolve the issues. The app starts out good but then goes rogue after awhile. I thought it was good lock messing it up but I was wrong. I give up for now.

Try turning off the "Manually only when I want it, I open the app". Also change the "When a notification comes" "And screen is off" to "Always off or on". Be sure you have turned off the Edge lighting in your phone settings.
What I was finding is when a notification would come in, it would light up the screen for a second and this would cause the app not to show the notification because I set it to "And screen is off" condition causing several notifications, if not all, to make the app not work. Once I changed to it to either/or, it has been working great for me. Hope this helps
