"Set as priority" missing in App Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I noticed on a forum posting a feature that appears to be missing from my phone. The "Set as priority" is not available as shown in the image I obtained from the net. I also included a screenshot from my phone that shows it missing. Does anyone also have it missing as well? If so, I wonder if it's carrier specific?

It could be from a US version, to a Non US Version. I have ATT us, and I have the priority option.

That's very possible. Does anyone in Canada have the setting or is it like mine? I'm with Bell Mobility.

I just want to add that I can set application as priority as outlined in the screenshots. Does everyone have the same type of settings?

Can anyone in Canada confirm that they do or do not have the "Set as priority" in the App Notifications screen?

Bumping up this thread. I'm just hoping for a confirmation that I am not the only one.

Yea I have an s9 and I have no option to set priority notifications. I did on my s7 but not my s9. Its really annoying because I cant get my gmail to keep notifications. I have tried everything I can fine. Set all notification settings. Settings in battery optimizations and gmail still doesnt keep notifications. Like my phone still keeps putting it to sleep or something

Open the Gear Manager & go into Notifications. Check the box for Google app. Reminders & notifications will show up on the watch.

I have the Google app enabled in notifications, but I only get one notification (weather) and it says plus 14 (or however many) cards. Do you all get individual cards? Maybe that only works on Samsung phones?

I don't think that's possible. you just get the notifications from GN on gear s2 that are popping up in the notification area, like weather or traveling times or calendar reminders. but not e.g. shipment information or sports information, because that's not a notification that pops up in the notification area.
i see the "and ...more Cards" info but i can not access it from the notification that i get on my gear .
that's what i experienced, proof me wrong, cause more cards would be awesome.
Yeah your right. I rarely get shipping and flight etc notifications because I never buy anything or go anywhere... I forgot entirely about them
But does anyone get actual GN separate cards like Steps, or Time to Home, or anything other than the one SAME GN notification? I figure since I have weather "on" in GN, that is the "first" one, and all the rest are buried under "plus xx cards".

from my point of view you dont get the GN "cards" like steps and Sports and Flight info and so on, because these are all "cards" like you said. you only get what GN puts in the notification area of your phone, because all that will get pushed to the watch when the google app is ticked in the gear manager app.
you see more cards in the notification that gets pushed to the watch though. i cant seem to access them because they are actual cards in GN and not notifications. i could imagine that GN could be opend when the "more cards" button on the watch notification would be clickable.
What i also saw was that e.g medisafe notifications with some clickable options that are made for AW are actually clickable on the gear s2 when i go into the 3 dot menu. but that does not seem to work for GN notifications.
although i think commute times notifications with clickable maps links for example are also clickable on the watch (i mean the map link)
hope its somehow clear what i mean lol
I turned off weather in Google Now, and did get "Time to Home", but I accidentally dismissed it while trying to view it, so didn't get to see options. Did see that there were silhouettes of two cars in background. So, at least on a Nexus, I only seem to get one notification with the "+ xx cards", rather than separate cards like on Android Wear.

How to Enable Notification on Always Display

I have the Always Display Information turned on. It would display when I get a message but no other apps like WhatsApp, Gmail etc. would have any indicators. I would need to turn the screen on to be able to see if I have any notifications from those apps or not. Does anyone know how I can turn it on for other apps as well?
On the subject of notifications, sometimes push notifications aren't coming through whilst the phone is sleeping (only when I turn the screen on). I have already made sure to turn off the battery management on my various messaging apps (Settings - Battery - App Launch) as well as locked them in Recent Apps. Doing these things improved it but it's still not consistent. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!

Probably because it's not a solution for AOD. It's a solution that shows you your notifications when you pick up your phone and the screen turns on

Why don't you actually read my question, and then compare it with what they are talking about in that thread? Maybe then you will get it. Just saying...
Anyway, after searching everywhere, the answer seems to be that only stock apps get notifications on the AOD. There doesn't seem to be any way for other app's notifications to be displayed yet. FYI gd6noob, no one in that thread talked about this.
I really miss Samsung for only this reason: 3rd party apps on Always On Display.
I hope Huawei somehow, in the future brings this to our devices.
Is it possible in Emui 9? Thanks

Nope same thing
Glance Plus is the only app which I found does something similar, but it doesn't work as well as the Always on Display in Samsung phones. If anyone knows of other apps, any recommendation is welcome.

My old LG G5 can show the icons of all the notifications on Always on Display.

Notifications issue?

Hi there
I have a question for the international users of the Magic 2. I have not yet owned a Honor device but had several Huawei Mate devices in the past. The ones which I had from China always had the issue with delayed/not syncing notifications, for example Whatsapp etc. It only got better with the international firmware on it.
Does the Magic 2 also have this issue, seeing it only comes with Chinese Firmware?
Thanks very much!
I have the HM2 and I haven't experienced any issues with notifications, using Whatsapp, Telegram or whatever.

I have had a different experience unfortunately. Some apps only seem to sync and receive new notifications when I open them.
I've tried adding the problematic apps to "unrestricted data access" (despite it saying this should not effect notifications) to no avail.
Hope someone else has a solution!

That's exactly what I was afraid of, I also know this from my previous Huawei Mates.. well I have placed the order now already for it.. so I guess I will have to see.
Go to settings->apps->apps->WhatsApp(for example)->power usage details->app launch.
Change to manual and enable all. I think you can then switch it back to automatic.

These problems usually originate with power consumption settings and launch settings, if you let it run in the background and launch itself, it should work perfectly.
In any way I use Whatsapp regularly and it seems working fine with the default settings I had when installed.

And this
Most people that are having issues with notifications are totally unaware of the the aggressive battery saver on Huawei devices. You need to manually allow apps to run in the background and not be killed by the battery saver. Unfortunately the settings are but hidden and some time there are more than one option to were to do so.

Am I the only one with notifications issues?

Since I've had my phone, some notifications just don't come through no matter what I do. WhatsApp will not work unless I wake up my screen and my calender reminders never work unless I happen to be on my phone.
All permissions granted, battery optimization turned off, auto start enabled and no restrictions on these apps. Quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to sort this?
LOL this has to be the funniest post I've ever seen here. Like 25% of posts and comments on mi 10 ultra forums are about notification issues bud. Did you even attempt to search?

Are you on stock Chinese by any chance? Switch to the EU ROM, this will resolve your issue easier than it is to explain every setting needed for some notifications to fully work. Took me ages but I did do it. Then I went EU, no issues, worked straight away.

I'm on the stock rom. Not planning on switching to the EU rom any time soon as I need Google Pay and my banking apps working.
Would you mind telling me how you got it working?

Thanks, I've done this and still notifications only come through when I wake the screen up.
Definitely try the EU ROM. It has its own problems but it's better than the stock.
Yeah I get this all the time. Its so frustrating. This bug has a mind of its own and seems to choose when it likes to stop notifications working

It is very strange, because WhatsApp is one of the apps whose notifications seems to be reliable.
Gmail is one that I am not 100% sure about. But I feel it is somehow related to the way gmail handle its notification, since I experience similar behaviour on other phones.
Teams and Outlook are 100% notifications rate for me.
Possibly I have set something else in MIUI settings, I have to check everything.

Question set notification sound in Gmail not system default

i am trying to set a separate notification sound for incoming email in Gmail for ny A52 5G.
in the Apps setting, i select Gmail, then Notifications and then Mail.
when the window opens, it shows underneath Sound the system default. uf u tap on that, it loads the Ringtones for Phone app. if I download a sound file, it will not let me set it for only Gmail.
i have also tried to download a sound file from Zedge, but can not assign it to the Gmail app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
First of all, this is the 4G model page, please use the 5G one if you have the 5G variant, though we can help you this time around.
That aside, go into the Gmail app, then tap on the 3 bars on the top left then scroll down to settings. From there go into General Settings, then Manage Notifications, you'll be sent into the settings app for Gmail. Tap on Email, then Sound and then choose from the default notification sounds. As far as I'm aware, you can only use the sounds on the phone itself.

thank you for the information. i must have misread the forum header and thought it was the 5g.
i went to the Samsung support site last night, and after a long chat with an actual Samsung support eep, it seems that you can't set up separate sounds for apps on the A52 5g. you can only change the default system sound, contact Ringtone or phone ringtone.
Thanks again for the prompt reply.

That's strange. The software between these two phones are very much the same. Do try what I've told you because I had to change the notif sound for my email accounts so that I wouldn't confuse between my 2 email addresses when an email got in.
Do post it on the 5G forum too, just in case someone has done it there too. Best of luck!
Edit: Customer Support is usually quite bad with these kind of things, so I wouldn't bet on them even understanding what you were trying to do, just saying.

thanks. I did try that before I contacted support amd and ended up changing the system default notification sound.
tried it a number of different ways,. but at least on the 5g model,. when you select the option to change the sound, it always takes you to the"Ringtones for Phone" app which doesn't allow you to just select a sound for the app. If you select a sound and then download it, you can set it for the Ringtone, Notification, Alarm or Contact.
if you select Notification,.it prompts for confirmation amd and if you confirm,.it changes the system default notification sound.
