Notification shade is drawn after every phone call - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I'm noticing now that after every call when not using speaker phone my notification shade is drawn all the way down. I have to swipe up twice to remove the shade to simply hang up the phone?? I'm using Nova, don't think that matters, smart stay is on, it was off so i tried it on no difference. I assume it has something to do with the proximity sensors but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

First world problem: Keep the screen from turning off?

I have a first world problem: When I'm on a call and want to access the notification bar, my screen turns off--I think because the light sensor is effected by my hand.
Use case: I'm on a call, realize I want to switch to Bluetooth, and want to go to the notification bar to access settings or click on the bluetooth tile, but the screen goes dark. So, I have to put the phone down, and carefully access the bar making sure my hand doesn't get in the way. Is there a way to get around this?
UPDATE: I just got an answer from someone else off this board: While on a call, press the "home" button/icon that takes you to your launcher and then access the Notification bar--the screen will then stay on without a problem.

I just posted a fix to my original post, above.
Alternately... You could install a launcher with gesture setting as to double tap in the home screen to toggle/expand notification bar.. So you don't have to get your fingers near the top at all... Cheers

Notifications displayed on default lock screen

Hi,
I would like to make my phone's screen light up periodically when it's locked and I receive notifications.
My phone does not have a pulse notification LED and it does not have any other means of showing persistent alerts for notifications when the screen is locked.
I have sen many apps that replace the default lock screen and generally require a lot of permissions, change the lock screen design, wallpaper, unlocking method and mess up / complicate things unnecessarily in general.
What I had in mind is a very simple concept but I don't know if it exists or if it is possible, because it may consume too much battery or maybe Android just does not allow it.
I would like my regular lock screen (which already shows that I have notifications, by the way) to light up for ~1 second every ~1 minute until the notifications are dismissed when I have notifications. Ideally that would be customizable somewhere.
To save battery, if the front camera detects no light (i.e: the phone is in the pocket or turned down) then it would not light up the screen, assuming the camera does not consume more battery than this would.
Could someone help me find the closest thing to something like that?
Thanks.

Thanks.
That app is close to what I want, but if I understand it correctly, it turns on the screen when I receive a notification for a period of time, and then it turns off for good.
Ideally, it would do the same function as the notification LED: turn on and off repeatedly until the notifications are dismissed.
I'll give it a try though, and see what it does.

Easy read notifications

I have the wake up on gesture setting switched to on. When a notification comes in while driving and the screen turns of, usually when I turn the watch towards my face the notification has disappeared. Is there a way to make the notification longer visible on screen, even after the screen has turned off? It would be so handy if tilting my arm would make the incoming notification visible, even after a minute or so.
there's actually a bug right now(which Samsung refuses to talk about) that instantly dismisses notification pop-ups sometimes and marking them as read.
I had it just now while typing this, with not even 1 second between the notification coming in and me looking at the screen.
I suggest you report it, the more reports the more likely Samsung is going to look into fixing it.
Use bezel ?

Bug swiping statusbar to show notifications

There's a bug when you want to check your notification from status bar during a call. You have to swipe the status bar fully down or it will just go back up.
OOS9.5.5
Can anyone confirm if they have the same issues?
Was like that in my 6t as well.
I think it's a failsafe so you don't accidentally hit something while your on a call.
Once you get use to it it's really no problem.
I have the same issue whenever on a call. I have to make a very slow, deliberate movement to eventually get the quick settings drawer open. Only happens to me in calls.

Thanks for the reply, i thought that was just me. Good to know there are others. It's good as a failsafe but personally i would like it off.
Only on calls.

Question Notification Sounds when folded?

My mum bought a Flip 4 and she loves it, but is not getting notifications when it is folded. I have tried all settings including individual notifications, ensuring it's not on DND, ensuring notifications can wake up the phone. It is also one of those intermittent problems, in that it doesn't work most of the time but occasionally will work, like when someone rings her doorbell (Ring app). I've even tried changing some of the apps like changing from the Samsung SMS app to Textra.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Our next step is to factory reset, but I want to check if this is a known issue.
Thanks
Not normal. It should show notification, and you can even see it when you swipe right in the cover screen.
The notifications show on the screen but no notification sound. Thanks for the info.

Agreed. Not normal. I had a case (Samsung even) that was turning my sound off. If she's using a case, you might try without it. It's a longshot, but took me a while to figure it out on mine. When properly functioning sounds should work open or closed.

by default there should be sound, unless you set that particular notification sound as silent, or the audio file is missing.
