Just got Oreo, and it appears there's no way to see notification text or interact with notifications using the S View Cover anymore. I can't dial or take pictures anymore either - anyone know of a fix? This is especially annoying considering that I just got a new cover as my old one was worn out. Dial/photos wasn't that critical, but seeing notification texts so that I could read incoming emails without opening the cover was.
I have the problem as flinx1, including that the clock is displayed on two lines instead of one!! Terribly annoying and amateur behavior from samsung developer.
Does anyone know have to fix this?
Disappointed with same issues--no phone or camera from S View window, and can't preview notifications.
Change clock display for S View window in Settings, Advanced features, Accessories, Clock and FaceWidgets.

I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3
Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.
So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.
So I use the official smart view cover. On marshmallow there was a horizontal line below the clock, and under it would be shown icons for missed calls or new texts - after update to 7.0, both the line and notifications are gone. Has anyone else experienced it or have any tips?
Anyone..?
Edit: it seems notifications are in place after all - but playback controls are gone.
I just got a Zenfone 6 and mostly like it so far, but I'm running into a really annoying UI issue that I've not been able to find any info on.
When I'm using the phone in landscape mode and drag down from the top, the quick toggle pane dominates the view and won't minimize, leaving a tiny sliver of space to view notifications that's smaller than even a single notification.
I've attached a screenshot of what this looks like, is anyone else having this issue? Have you found a setting to fix this?
Yeah, I've got this, I notice it when I put it my holder in the car.
Does seem strange & completely unnecessary so hope there's a solution within the current settings somewhere......
My flip 3 cover screen often displays the orange notification dot even though there are no notifications when i swipe to check. It makes me check my phone far too often and is pretty annoying overall.
Does anyone how to fix this?
I can't seem to find any information about the issue anywhere else.
Check what notifications you have appearing. The orange dot will appear for most notifications and foreground services by default.
Settings -> Notifications
A bug for sure, happens to me all the time as well, an orange dot but when I open the phone, no new notifications or opened apps whatsoever. Hopefully it will be fixed in some of the upcoming software updates.
Yes this is very annoying happens to me all the time with WhatsApp messages. I'm also noticing there's a delay in my whatsapp and gmail push notifications. Compared to my old pixel or iPad - those are pretty instantaneous.
Hello everyone!
Is it just me who is really bothered that the display of new messages is constantly overlaid by the default digital clock? A new message comes in an instantly the default digital clock is shown instead of the message. The message is blurred in the background and can only be seen by tapping the display. For what reason do I have a smartwatch that shows me messages, wenn all I can see is alwyas the default clock?
There was the silent hope that this would be fixed after the firmware update, but it's still really annoying and sometimes only makes the clock usable to a very limited extent :-(
AOD and activation with wrist movement is active ... still I often have to tap the display or press the home button to get a proper display again. Annoying when I´m out with the dog and have always to use the hand that holds the leash to see the messages.
I have this happen when running Google Maps. I find it much more convenient (and safer) to glance at the directions on my wrist without having to use the phone. But half the time when I try to check the route, it's covered up by the time. I would really like to have Maps keep displaying until I reach my destination.
