Touch and hold the email notification and slide down.

You have to restart your phone and the delete option will appear.

Remove Swipe up Google now

Is there any way to remove the absolutely annoying feature where you swipe up on your Nav bar and it opens google now / google search?
Also is there any way to remove service notification for an app that doesn't have an option to disable the notification built in?

Yes I know you can get rid of the swipe up. go to apps under setting and find the google search app. Blue Icon with a G. Just disable that and then reboot.

How to access phone settings ?

The notification bar only shows notifications and no settings that I can see. Am I missing something or the only way to do it is to create widget or shortcut ?
Pull up slowly from the bottom of the screen. This is called "control center" it's super annoying to me honestly.

Yup that's it, I completely missed "more" on the bottom of the screen. Thank you. Other than few UI quirks I am liking the phone far.
Also the touch sensor works for me even with screen on, so they must have fixed that bug.

Persistent notification issues.

I have a rooted mate 9. I am having some apps like Lastpass, Tasker etc which always run and thus show as a persistent notification. I don't have any issue them showing on the status bar as icons but hate them on the notification drop-down. Is there anyway I can hide those without stop them from running always ? Or atleast show them after all my regular notifications?
its in settings > notification and management > click on the app you want and uncheck "banners" if thats what you mean.

But if I turn off 'show notification on status bar' will the app stop running in the background or it won't?

Thanks guys, seems like those apps are active after removing notifications.

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner
Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui

A solution for what exactly?
Do you not see any options in your lockscreen settings to disable notifications pull down menu while on lockscreen.

No, there aren't. From the lockscreen, you can silence the phone, put it into airplane, or anything in pulldown. I wouldn't be able to to track it on airplane mode. I thk I SHOULD be able to disable the pulldown, and watched several videos and searched around.
Thanks for your help

I don't understand why you don't have these settings in your stock system settings somewhere. Is there nothing in your notification settings?
Sent from my LGL84VL using Tapatalk
I have settings/notifications toggles, but you can still use the pulldown menu.
