SIM popup messages keep the screen on indefinitely (Samsung A30s) - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
In my country, carriers keep sending 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.

Rogue beep when finishing PIN unlock

Just updated my US GSM (xt1034) to KK443 last night, had done a restore from the factory image because I had made a change to the system making the OTA fail and complain about my gmail apk.
Anyhow, all went well, 443 was running, restored apps via TB, everything was kosher. Seems like the issue of it playing an annoying beep when unlocking the lockscreen started right after I went to the Motorola site to test the lost device thing. I told it to play an alarm, it worked, could not turn it off like you can do with Google's Device manager. Had to power off via the menu while the alarm was blaring, had this rogue beep upon lockscreen unlock ever since.
Goddamnit! Pissing me off. Hate to do a factory reset after I just did the full monte last night.
Any bright ideas?
Googling failed me btw.
Added a wav of the sound, plays along with the regular Android sound which you can't hear. Had to zip it, can't upload wavs here?

Went back to the Motorola device manager page to try to re-enact and this is what they call "Peace of Mind"

Easiest Solution
I encountered this exact problem on my G...after much headaches and fidgeting with settings....decided to simply reboot and re-use the moto website to ring youmy device again & after unlocking your phone the beep should go away

WhatsApp web not working well on Honor 6+

WhatsApp should not need the phone screen to be on, in order to use it, like other phones I've tried. But the Honor 6+ does.
e.g. I'll try to send a message using the web interface. The message will sit there until I turn on the phone.
Maybe this is EMUI's overly aggressive power management, but I cannot find the right setting to allow WhatsApp to work OK when the screen is off.
Any ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I second this. I often have to open Whatsapp on the phone before my PC connects. Also it forgets my contacts and even wont show new messages as push notification from time to time.
Is there a way to stop EMUI from closing my apps?
I've found a solution, to this and other problems I think.
Download PM Plus from the store, and make WhatsApp a trusted application.. from then on the web version will work just fine.

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

Strange message "Request time out, please retry or check your network settings" ...

I reset my phone (Bluboo S1 on "clean" android, version photo below) to factory settings to clean it a bit. After the reset, some strange, even idiotic message started to appear ... The message appears at different times on the screen above the applications, regardless of them. This is a pain in the ass. However, the biggest problem for me is that probably because of this message, I cannot enter the "podium" tab in one of the games (Sky Force) and view the results of my friends, or even add any, because there is a server communication error. Before resetting the phone, I didn't have anything like that ... Not only that, I did a flash on the phone again and it didn't help. The firmware version is the same as before the reset, so theoretically there shouldn't be any change in how the phone works and yet it is ...
This message is caused by the left side desktop with imposed shortcuts (photo of the desktop with the message below). I did not have this additional desktop before resetting the phone ... And I am most surprised that it appeared, since the firmware version is identical. Interestingly, if after restarting the phone I do not move the main screen to the left to enter this additional desktop, i.e. it does not refresh, this message will not appear until I enter this desktop - then it begins ... Just not entering this desktop and not activating the message still means that my game can connect to the manufacturer's server ...
I am asking for some help, for example, how to diagnose which phone process is responsible for this additional desktop and for messages. Maybe we could kill him somehow and get rid of the problem?

Noone has any idea?

[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).
