For about a week, my email tile on the homepage has failed to launch the email. It just refreshes the screen back to the previous page (hoempage). I tried from All Apps menu as well, same, it refreshes the screen and takes me back to all apps.
My text messages tile shows no new messages, but when I dont have service and failed messages it still turns to a sad face. Right now, I have new texts that I have not checked but the tile just shows a happy face, no notifications.
Mail tile always shows 1, even if I read an unread mail item (once it finally lets me open mail).
When contacts call, their name does not show up, only the number.
I was also having a problem launching People information when I selected a contact, it would fail as well and refresh the screen.
Media messages have always come in as "Get media content" links and would never download. I think this is a seperate issue.
I have all the latest updates.
I made a post here to someone with a similar thread: http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows...nly-stopped-launching-htc-8x.html#post1825365
Can someone explain how on earth the notification sidebar works?
It always says no notifications on there. I see the weather, a little checkbox and the word no notifications
I have few missed notifications checked such as caller name ID, email, fitbit, gmail, hangouts, google inbox, instagram, google messenger (texting), phone, snapchat and whatsapp.
Whenever I get something from these nothing ever shows up on there. I do see them scroll on the main sidebar when it scrolls.
Any help gents? I just don't get it.

Try to restart the phone... I had the same issue a couple of times and, after restarting, the bar came back to work properly. It should be an annoying bug
Could be you already seen or cleared your notifications panel.

A restart fixed it. Guess it froze...
Same thing with CNN. it locks up... I took it off, but a restart would fix it I bet.
Hey everybody,
I guess it has sth. to do with moving to android 7.0 recently (but I'm not entirely sure it has occured on every tested rom since then); my whatsapp notification from lockscreen or drawn down status bar just shows the last received message from a contact, instead of summarizing them to, for example, "2 new messages".
And when drawing down the whatsapp line in notifications, these new messages would have been shown in particular; in my case, nothing happens.
I think you all get the point.
Gmail or other apps still function in the used manner.
This is quite annoying since you read sth completely out of context from someone, until you open the whatsapp chat just to find out he wrote you a novel before.
Thanks.
I am currently using Galaxy S9 Plus on Verizon and with Apex launcher. From the last week, when I get a text message or a new message in Facebook Messenger I don't just get a notification in the bar at the top, but an actual pop-up that comes up over the top of anything else and goes all the way across the top of the screen and about three quarters of an inch tall. It stays up for four or five seconds before going away. As you can see this is pretty annoying and I have tried to control it but I can find no setting regarding this matter. It does not seem to be app specific as it comes up with texts, voice mail notifications, Facebook messenger message notifications and maybe others. Does anyone know how to get rid of these and have just the normal notifications?
Hello everybody,
I got my device yesterday and i am still trying to sort things and settle down.
I have one question which is driving me nuts.
In my previous phones (latest being OnePlus 6t), i could make the apps (such as instagram and WhatsApp) not to show the message but only the notification badge and how many things i am missing (such as 2 messages, 2 chats or 2 messages 1 chat).
On S22 Ultra, i can hide the context on AOD but the context is always seen on while the phone is unlocked/on homescreen.
Would appreciate if you can help me solve this issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Press the notification till you see "settings" menu. Select the notification type you want (push the text, for ex. "new messages for sim 1") Than select "silent" and enable app icon badges. You should be ok.
Nope didn't work. Still can see the message there.
In Settings>Notifications> Lock screen (Display), do you have 'hide content' set?

Nope,
This was how my old phones used to act;
If the screen was off, it would wake briefly, show the whatsapp icon and go back to turned off screen.
On the lock screen, when i wake the phone, it would show the whatsapp icon and that is all.
On home screen, when i scroll down, it would show whatsapp icon and number of chats and messages but not the details of the messages (like 2 chats, 3 messages).
But wouldn"t give details like "Nicole: How are you doing"
My new S22 Ultra acts like below;
On lock screen, it acts correct. Only whatsapp image pops when i receive a message.
When it is awake and when it is on home screen, it pops the whole message for me to read. And when i pull down the notification pane, the whole message is there for me to read.
I have fingerprint activated on my whatsapp.
Now, if anybody can read and reply to the whatsapp message by pulling down the notification menu, what the hell is the reason of a fingerprint layer on whatsapp entry...
They can simple send one message to me and they can see whole of the newly received messages.
As well as, this causes the above mentioned issue. Where people can read delicate messages when i am showing something else in a different app...

Yes i do.
That hides it only when phone is locked.
Let me try to post some pics of what i am trying to explain.
Alright got the pics.
At first, you can see the lock screen acts as it should. Doesn't show the context/content
But on the second screen, where it is notification menu scrolled down, the message can be read.
And the same happens if i am doing something with the phone when the message is received.
So, people looking at my screen can see the message.
Please also note fingerprint login is also enabled for my whatsapp. So this totaly kills the point of fingerprint log in.
And when i figure this out, i will also need to hide other notifications as well.
When i receive an email, i will show how it was on my other phone's notification panel.
Since whatsapp doesn't allow multiple devices at once (cellular) i can't show with whatsapp message.
I hope this gives a general idea of what i am trying to sort out.
And here how it was on my old phone. It shows content hidden on notification menu for the apps i have closed preview of.
Whatsapp, instagram etc.
The reason there are 2 separate outlooks is one is a calendar alert and other is actual email.
If i had like 5 mails and no alerts, it would show as one outlook and say 5 emails with one notification.
you can also see that instagram is also hidden as content.

I know it won't fix everything... but just Messages and Whatsapp in the meantime.

At least i sorted the WhatsApp.
Having 2 messaging app doesn't help.
One doesn't have the options you showed, but it also have the block/blacklist option.
I also need to find where the app lock is on Samsung. Where i can fingerprint lock the apps i choose to.

I presume that's your Android messaging version there, cause i only use the Samsung one.
You'll find it in Play Store
I need help!
One thing I had hate on my 22 Ultra is the combined notification sounds. I want to separate system sounds, text messages sounds and app sounds. Nothing seems to be working. It all comes back to this screen and it's all combined. I need away to separate them.
Any help?

Go to Apps section.
Select the app you want to configure.
Click on Notifications.
Notification categories.
You will be able to select individual sounds for everything separately.
Some will be trial and error tho
