REALLY Annoying Gear S plugin notification after Galaxy S8 Oreo Update - Samsung Gear S3

How do I permanently get rid of this uninformative and really annoying notification that is cluttering my notification bar??
I keep swiping it away but it always comes back.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I have tried everything I can to get rid of this permanently and I cannot figure it out. If you go into the notification settings I have everything for this plug-in turned OFF but it still displays which makes no sense. As well you can now mute the notification for up to 2 hours under Oreo but yet you can't actually permanently shut it off not that I have seen. But the fact that you can shut it off for 2 hours tells me you can shut it off forever but maybe you have to be rooted.

U can swipe the notification to the left and tap on the gear icon. From there you can turn off the "allow notification" and its gone. As for "drawing over other app" notification you cant turn it off unless you use third party app from play store. I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.easy4u.ncleaner and it works

I solved it!
Get the free app AutoNotification and set it up to block this lame notification. Wait until it shows up and then use the app to setup a block and pick the annoying notification and.. bye bye!

There's no option to turn it off. However there's an option for app badge but that's not the one.

How to stop (SIM) pop-up messages from keeping the screen on indefinitely?

Hello everyone,
In my country, carriers would send those annoying pop-up messages (I think they're called class-0 messages?). This has been the case for a couple of years and they won't stop no matter what you do. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal with my previous phones; I just learned to ignore them.
However, with my A30s (which I've had for a few months), I'm facing a critical issue where the screen will turn on for the message and never turn off unless I close the pop-up or manually turn it off by pressing the power button. There are basically two types of those messages:
1) Ones that show up after a call is ended (very annoying but avoidable if I remember to close the message after ending the call):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Ones that show up randomly (sometimes at night while I'm asleep. Screen stays on overnight and drains the battery):
I couldn't even tell which app is responsible for displaying those messages. I checked the permissions for the messages app and the phone app, disabled the "draw over other apps" permission for the messages app, installed Google's messages app and set it as default (since I can't uninstall or disable the main one) but the problem persisted. I also checked the permissions for the "SIM toolkit" app but there were none. I tried disabling the notifications but the option was grayed out.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these messages?
Note: I want to avoid rooting the device or installing a custom rom.

Wake screen for notifications

Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list

[SOLVED] How to assign notification importance (or priority)?

On my Samsung phone running on Android 12, I clicked on Reset Notification Importance (inside Developer Options) to see what happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, the order of notifications have changed. In fact, it is completely messed up. Some of the Silent Notifications are showing on top, while newer (alert) notifications are showing in between or at bottom. Silent Notifications (and persistent notifications) are supposed to appear BELOW Alert Notifications, towards the bottom. I didn't find a setting that changes the notification priority.
How I want it to be:
The Notification Shortcuts bar should be on top, and all new notifications must come right below it. All persistent notifications must keep moving down as new notifications come through.​
But this is how it is at the moment:
It is a jumbled mess.
How do I change the notification priority (or importance) for apps? I want to minimize the notification importance for all (or most) apps with a persistent notification.
This has been like this for well over a month now. I have rebooted my phone a few times over this period too.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Glad to report that I have solved the problem by identifying the culprit. I have been living with this problem for over 5 months. This setting in QuickStar (Good Lock module) is the culprit:
I had enabled that setting earlier. Disabling it resolved the notification priority (all persistent/ silent notifications now sit below Alert notifications).

Question Disable notification tone if device is on

I have my new phone for two days, but didn't manage to figure out how to properly configure the notification settings.
I'm used to get a tone or vibration if a new message comes in. This phone also notifies me if an notification changes. If I play music through Spotify e. g., the phone vibrates when playing the next song. This gets annoying quickly, when a message with progress information is displayed and I get notified for every change in percentage (updating, downloading stuff, etc.).
Is there an option to disable this behavior (but still get notified for new messages)?
Is there an option to entirely disable notification tones while the display is on?
Thanks

You have very granular control over your notifications. Long press the notification in the pulldown menu, then you can set it to be 'Other'. Additionally, you can can navigate from there to the deeper notification settings to turn off sound/vibrate/etc.
The per app setting is working great, but is there maybe a more global option I'm not seeing?
And is there an option to ignore changes of the content (e.g. ignore the progress change of 1% to 2%)?
The option controlling the vibration if a new message comes in seems to be a subsetting of the accessibility settings rather than the normal tone & vibration settings. I had this option enabled and my phone ignored the per app vibration setting. When disabled, it never vibrates on new messages.
The solution seems to be to disable and re enable this setting. Now my phone behaves normal and doesn't ignore the per app settings.
Mentioned accessibility setting (2nd from top):

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

Question The messaging app notifications not showing up on the lock screens AOD help needed?

Must have toggled some setting that I can't figure out and now my message app notification icon is not showing up on AOD All other apps like missed calls or FB msg are showing up normally
Any ideas?
They don't show on AOD, but what about the lock screen?
Is it all your text messages or just a specific one? I'd look under Settings>Notifications. Look around here, maybe you ticked something in here.
Also, you can try wiping the Messaging app as well. Your text messages will still be there, just have to set the settings up in the app again.

Thats what i mean they don't show on the lock screen I've searched under Settings>Notifications and everywhere else like 25x and can't find whats causing it.
It started after I setup a pattern lock screen and then deleted it and set it back to swipe to open

Is it these options you have maybe changed to hiddel
If you use face unlock and give it authorization to go straight to the home screen without swiping it hides all the notifications on the lockscreen and makes little icons instead
