Like many others, one of the first things I did when configuring my phone was to remove as much bloatware as possible.
No, I don't need your crappy music app, or your ad-infested games. Uninstalled.
Now, on day two, I have an un-dismissable notification: "Service Provider Apps".
Clicking on it returns a menu: "Select apps recommended by your service provider."
App Name: "Amazon Prime Video" with a check mark that can't be unchecked.
Can't dismiss notification. Only option is "Install" when clicking notification.
Long press doesn't allow for blocking app notifications, but did allow me to force stop it, killing it for the time being.
I seem to remember there was a way to disable some notification to permanently stop receiving those messages.
Any tips?
With the whole Bixby debacle, I'm not surprised that they're trying to force even more junk on us.
Package disabler pro on market will disable it... Or long click and choose never display notification

just installed Package Disabler Pro and can confirm it does stop it, if anything changes i'll update here. as for long clicking on it to never display, this isn't an option.
Go to Settings-Display-Status bar- activate Show recent notifications only.
You will never sed thst notification again..
Good luck!
Still there, that setting was already enabled

1. Click on the notification,
2. On the new screen, click on the "Service Provider Apps" header
3. This takes you into Service Provider where you can Force Stop the app AND tell it to stop all notifications.
Good luck!
For me this worked:
- goto Settings/Apps
- click the menu icon (top right hand side of the screen - 3 vertical dots)
- click 'Show system apps'
- locate 'Service provider update' in the (long) list
- click it
- click 'Storage'
- click 'Clear data'
But this did the trick temporarily. The notification came back the next day. Now looking for a better solution
- click 'Delete'

What answer do you want here?
1. Your phone is NOT supported
2. Get a supported SAMSUNG phone
Have you enable notifications in security settings on phone ?

This. I had enabled everything except notification access for ATN Manager in settings.
Go to Settings > Security > Notification Access and check the box beside ATN manager.
On a side note, does anyone have a way to get apps made for Gear 2 Neo on Samsung Apps store on Nexus 5? These default apps are okay but dont really do much in long term use.

I just installed ATN manager and turned on the permission to access notifications and I see no change. I have Galaxy Gear and ATNManager allowed in the Notification settings. I have gone through and check marked all of the programs I want notifications from.

In Gear Manager go to Notification and uncheck "Limit notification" and "Keep screen off" but do enable "Preview message"
There should be a section in there called "1) Instant alerts for Gear)" you should see "incoming call" underneath it - enable it.
After this, there should be another section underneath the first one "1)Notification for Gear apps", you will see ATN Manager in it - enable that. and below all of this should be "9) More notification". Select apps you want notifications from, for texting I use a third party app called EvolveSMS so therefore I had to enable notification for that app instead of Hangouts.
Good luck!

For "Notification for Gear apps" there is nothing there. But once I tapped on "More Notifications" it gave me a TOS prompt and once I agreed to it then it started working. I'm currently having other issues with ATN manager but I will open a new thread for that.
Specifically the "Activation Agent" which just adds a dumb notification on the notification bar saying there's no Verizon SIM detected. Not to mention, when you go to the app, it doesn't let you uncheck the "Show Notifications"

Use the debloater tool to disable all those apps. I disabled the activation agent so it stops showing that notification.
Also as a temporary solution you can just force close it and it'll go away until the next reboot.

There's a debloater tool? In XDA or in the phone itself?

Hi there,
is there a way to stop apps being killed?
Some of the apps, that I need to stay open, are being automatically killed in the background, even though there is enough RAM (2.2GB).
I went to battery settings or anything, but there is no option that I could find.
Any way to do it without root?
Regards

It's done differently on EMUI 8 devices.
Settings > Battery > App launch
Select your app, turn off the toggle so you get a pop-up called Manage manually. Make sure the three options are enabled (blue) then press the OK button.
This will stop the operating system from closing the app.

Might be Doze doing that then. Try playing with those settings:
Open the 'Settings' app
Select 'Apps and Notifications'
Select 'Apps'
Press the 'Settings' cog at the bottom of the screen
Select 'Special Access'
Select 'Ignore Battery Optimisation'

Did not know about that, will try it out, thanks!
Done this, app is still being closed, even when I opened it the evening before I went to sleep. It is an app that will alert me when someone is having a hart-attack in my neighbourhood. Quit annoying.
For EMUI 8, tried everything on mate9, any setting is useless to stop closing apps in background, only can do:
1. swift to apps using push notification
2. downgrade to EMUI5.0
3. rooting if possible.
What I have found is that if you lock the app in the open app manager window it won't kill it.
I'm new to Vivo and I've found not receiving notifications for third-party apps like WhatsApp etc.
These are the options confirmed by Vivo.
1. You can open Whatsapp>Settings>Notifications>turn on the notification switches. You can take the pictures below for reference;
2. You can go to Settings>Status bar and notification>Manage notification> Whatsapp, turn on all the switches;
3. You can go to Settings>More settings>Applications>Floating window, turn on the switch of Whatsapp;
a. Go to Settings>More settings>Applications>Autostart>turn on Autostart of Whatsapp; Back to Floating window, then turn on the floating window of the app.
b. Add Whatsapp to Speedup Whitelist;
c. Go to Settings>Battery>Excessive background battery usage, and then allow the app to continue running when the background power consumption is high.
Hope it works.
Thanks

Strange not here, only when i keep whatsapp on lock in background i get notifications. Now that i unistalled i Manager everting works fine and no lock on background is needed anymore.
You have to enable the programs you want to work in the background with iManager, permission management. You'll see various options there. I had issues with my gear Fit2 watch constantly disconnecting. After I enabled everything that deals with the gear Fit2 (to include the plug-in) it worked.

All notifications from various app works like a charm then.

The past few updates and now this "Lenovo Services" app is now constantly running. I've tried to force stop it; nope. I can't "mute" the notification.
Any of you even know what this app is? When did it get installed and for what purpose is it there?
Thanks.

I've been regularly updating (Xiaoxin Pad Pro / P11 Pro) but never encountered "Lenovo Services". I do have "Device Service" (package name com.lenovo.lsf.device) which wants to connect to AliCloud in Germany a couple of times per day. I don't allow it on my software firewall (currently NoRoot Firewall), so no notifications from there.

I just double-checked and it is indeed there. I will post a screenshot if that helps you. Furthermore, I'm unable to uninstall it or remove the notification that it is running.
I checked the app, and it has no permissions granted other than "draw over other apps" but nothing for storage or location or contacts.
I'm on a US device if that makes a difference. Someone here must have the same thing I would assume?
I do have the same service running on mine and unable to hide it from notifications.
Time to go play in the Registry...
At least there is a way to "hide it" see here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo...ervices-is-Running/m-p/5083807?page=2#5447336
swipe down to see the "LenovoServices is running" notification and tap on it, it goes to the app settings page
Here you have 2 options
tap on Force Stop, it stops the notification but also the service itself (which is probably not a big problem, I've received an update, today, with this service killed). No notification in the status bar, no notification in the pull-down
Or
tap Notifications, DownloadService
there you see two main options, Alerting and Silent, it's on Alerting
switch to Silent and tap Minimise, notification gone from status bar but it's still in the pull-down, service still running

Good info. Thanks. Although still no explanation as to what it's doing or, how it got on there in the first place.
