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.

When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.
Hi All
I can't seem to get Edge Lighting notification to work consistently.
Everything seemed fine the first few days when i had Always On Display enabled, however with it off, it seems to have a mind of its own.
I have Edge Lighting set to "Always", every single notification enabled, transparency is 0, width is the highest and color is set to "App Color"
With those settings, the popups would appear only sometimes.
I then figured out that the individual apps themselves need to have "pop-up" notifications enabled.
Now with that enabled in a handful of apps, i get notifications for those - however, there are a lot more apps that don't support it! Google Hangouts for example!
And on top of that, Whatspp seems to be the only application that actually keeps an icon on my screen until i grab the phone. all the other icons disappear once the lighting stops.
Any thoughts as to what i'm missing?
or is this just how edge lighting works?
I've not been able to get even one app to work when the screen is off.
To me the EL notifications work for all apps but only not for Viber.. they light up, but dissapear... and what's worse, when I unlock the phone later, there is NO notification that there is new message....

Ahh! yes this happens to me all the time too.
What a strange system.
Cant comprehend how it works perfectly fine for some apps, and not at all for others.
Glad to know its not just me!
If you are on Oreo, you can use Notification Channels to "force" the app's specific notifications to "Urgent" which will "Make sound and pop-up on screen." Unfortunately, in order for it to work with screen-off, the app has to have built in the ability to "wake screen," which is why apps like samsung messages, textra, whatsapp, snapchat all have the ability to work with the screen off. you can use a 3rd party app like Glimpse Notifications to force app notifications to wake the screen, but when you receive a EL Pill notification, it will be with Glimpse's icon, and no message details.
Also apps like facebook messenger, which have custom notification API's (because of chat heads and special things that facebook enables in this app) will NOT play nicely with EL Notifications. I have tried everything to get it to play nice with this app, but it also does NOT target Oreo for notification channels, so I cannot force it. I can force it with "Autonotification" app from Tasker, but it's not enough to trigger it.
Hope this information helps a little bit for ya. What really needs to happen, is Samsung needs to program EL Notifications in the system level, rather than as an app that runs (Edge Screen apk) so that it can monitor notifications on a system-level rather than Piggy-backing off of Android's notification system. That way, no matter what the notification is within the app, it will display in Pill-form when the screen is off and on. In order to get to more information, or reply in-line, then you bring down the notification shade and voila.
But, I've reported this to Samsung numerous times, and have never received a reply from them. Here's to hoping that maybe it gets a revamp/improvement when the S9 comes out.
Took delivery of my S9 yesterday, my 1st foray into the world of android. Is there anyway to disable pop-up previews and just have a badge number to notify you when you have a WhatsApp message?. I have some fairly active WhatsApp groups and if I'm browsing the web, watching youtube, etc, basically doing anything on the phone at all its constantly previewing WhatsApp messages, toggling pop-ups off doesn't work, 2 minutes later they default back to on. If it can't be done its an absolute disaster, I can't believe anyone puts up with this - makes the phone almost un-usable. HELP!
Thanks in advance, Justin

I am having exactly the same problem with my S9+. and it is infuriating me! I have opened support cases with Whatsapp and Samsung regarding this because it is not normal functionality. On previous Android phones (LG G5, LG G6, Nexus 6p) i have been able to hide pop ups and keep the notifications as per normal, with the S9 its either everything on or turn off completely.
I have found a temporary workaround but it means all your notifications will be silent. You may be able to play around with the settings to get something that works for you!
Here is what i have done:
Go into Whatsapp > Settings > Notifications
Conversation Tones - Box unchecked
Notification Tone - Silent
Vibrate - Off
Popup Notification - No Popup
Now go to the home screen and go
Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp > Message Notifications
Importance - High
Sound - Silent
Vibrate - Off
App Icon Badges - On
On lock Screen - Hide Content
Finally make sure you have Edge Lighting Disabled
Settings > Display > Edge Screen > Edge Lighting Off
I hope that a fix for this is rolled out soon because its ruining my experience of my first Samsung.

Thanks so much for the reply, I've resorted to simply blocking the notifications entirely as whatever I change seems to magically revert back to what I can only assume is the default setting. Makes me almost certain its system/app bug opposed to operator error.
How something as rudemental as this makes it through BETA is almost beyond comprehension, such a shame. I can't believe that none of the top review and tech guys on YouTube haven't noticed this either.
As I mentioned in the OP this is my first android experience, how quick are things like this usually cleaned up? praying its resolved quickly!
I have the same issue it's becoming too annoying
Me too having the same issue.. with S9 Plus
Is there anyway we can hide the icon of whats app but phone should vibrate?
S20 WhatsApp notifications
And so here we are, 2 years on from the original WhatsApp notification issue on the s9, I'm sat here about the throw my brand new S20 against the wall for similar reasons.
My issue is, I can't seem to switch off the vibrate alert, whatever combination of settings I use I can't mute the vibrate without turning the whole phone to silent. I managed to sort it on the s9 with a random combination of settings that included having the alert set to high priority (for some reason), that option doesn't seem available these days. What an absolute farce. If anyone has managed to figure a work around, any help would be greatly appreciated!
So I tried this on my main social apps and they are appearing flawlessly. I hope they are useful.
Please follow the below steps to solve it:
1. Slide upward from the bottom of the screen to bring up the Control Center, hold and press the WhatsApp icon and click Add to white list;
2. Enter i Manager>Power manager>Excessive background battery usage>turn on the switch of WhatsApp;
3. Access i Manager>App manager>Autostart manager>turn on the switch of WhatsApp.
This worked for me with my Samsung Gear Fit2 watch. You have to make sure all of the Samsung apps and plugins associated with the Gear Fit2 are enabled in iManager (iOS hints everywhere... Lol)
Ok uninstalling iManager app notification from all app works excellent now

Notification where? In the lock screen? Notification on the icon? Notifications in the notifications drop down menu?

So I'm dealing with a slight problem. Honestly could just be something to get used to. I have the India Model (Global Rom), and I deal with a notification issue for my lock screen. I've already done adb and gotten rid of iManager, but I still seems to have an issue with notifications coming through.
This is mostly with Android Messages (I use this as my default). If I leave a notification of a message on my lockscreen for too long, it eventually disappears and indicates on my home screen I no longer have a notification (Using Nova). But when I enter the app of course the message is still there and says unread. Its a small problem, but it can become annoying.
Its as if I leave a notification in the status bar for too long, it eventually disappears and then indicates I no longer have a notification. Is this just a normal thing for an international device? ( I am in the states by the way).
Its a small gripe, because otherwise I still love the device and I'm glad I waited for the India model. Its my daily driver for now.
anyone have problem with whatsapp vibration unable to change into the default/short/long options... no matter which option i chose... the whatsapp vibration will just revert back to the default vibration.... my group msg vibrating like mad instead of the short vibration that I really like for grp chat....
Easiest way to deal with problems on the Vivo Nex= just sell the phone and go with Xiaomi or OnePlus.
I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks
For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?
The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.
Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

LOL. Stop fat-shaming it! Weight was one of my biggest concerns coming from a Galaxy S5, and the MM3 is heavy, but you do get used to it after a couple of weeks.

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.
I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.
The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.
I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.
I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

It is sort of thick but is the densest phone I've ever held. Got used to it after a week or two though, I don't think it's a deal breaker
