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?

you mean it makes just beep sound and doesnot wake up screeen? right?

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.

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

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.
Facebook notifications work however Messenger doesn't? Seems rather odd, anyone managed to get around it?
Is fb messenger set as the default messaging app?
Edge lighting has a list of apps you can enable but Messenger is not in there. Facebook app is in the list but Messenger isn't for some reason. I'm wondering if it's Samsung or Messenger developers who have to tweak something for Messenger to be in that list and have Edge lighting working.

Long-press it and there will be a list of apps there.
I have enabled it for all apps and so far it worked one time out of two with Textra, for some reason. All good for the 3 Snapchat notifications I received since I have the phone. Didn't have other notifications to test yet.

This worked for me....
After looking this up more I found someone had tried this
Settings > Display > scroll all the way to bottom Keep Screen Turned Off make sure that is off
I did this and it now works for messages all the time but varies for what's app.

It doesn't seem to work when the screen is off for Hangouts either. (Although I think I saw it working when the screen was on.)
Seems that I can only get it to work for my messages only. All else fails...

I use this but the "message preview" is an empty LightFlow icon with no text
Any alternatives?

Same for me, but at least we found why edge lighting was not working, it's a good start. To have the actual app notification message instead of the Light Flow icon, I think the app needs to support natively "wake up screen" for notifications.
I don't know if the Light Flow developers would be able to pass the notification informations (variables?) from the app to Lighting Edge but maybe it'd be a good idea to give them a hint about it. I did send an email earlier today to Messenger developers about it but I doubt they'll receive it or open it, let alone actually do something about it.. but I tried.
I really like the Edge Lighting concept and I hope Samsung will keep developing it and one day soon we'll be able to choose the lighting colors for each app, because right now it's blue, no matter what app.
Got it to work, Kinda!

The full fledged facebook messenger app didn't work for me, so I tried the messenger lite version, and much to my surprise, the pill notifications with edge lighting now work when I receive facebook messages!
The main downside is that quick reply in-line in the notification card is not supported in facebook messenger lite, although I think i can make due without this, because when I used direct reply, the notification badge would never go away until i long-pressed the app and manually cleared it (even if I opened the app and viewed the "unread" message).
Hope this helps! I have managed to get most of my apps working with edge notifications with playing around. Sometimes I have had to go into specific apps notification settings and play around with toggles and they started working all of the sudden. The last one I'm trying to get to work is the stock email app, but it seems like there's a fundamental flaw because even with edge lighting off, no notification card pops down when I receive an email. May switch to gmail again, but I was also reading that people were having trouble with notification cards on that app as well.
I cannot post a URL to the facebook messenger lite app on apk mirror, but if you go to that site and search for the app, just download the most recent version: Version: 7.0.0.9.280 (57368212)
I've just across this thread after trying to get FB messenger to work, like others have already said the edge lighting is a bit random. I have the default messenger app working when screen is on or off, Whatsapp only when screen is on and FB messenger just not at all.
I used to use lightflow before to customise my notification light, didn't want to go down the router of installing it to fix something that should just work.
recently I find out that the calling screen of OTT applications which have calling feature such as facebook messenger, viber... will be overridden by edge lighting screen (only when screen is off) if you enable edge lighting for these apps, because of that facebook tell samsung to remove their messenger app out of list apps that support edge lighting
enable edge lighting when screen off for viber then use another phone to make a viber call to your S8, you will see what I am trying to say
Edge lighting seems useless. I mainly wanted to use it for Facebook Messenger and pretty much every app is in the list except that. I also enabled it for Gmail and Messages but have never actually seen it work.
Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movisoft.edgelighting

I can get it to work on my text app, but not Facebook. How did you get it to work on Facebook? I heard that it won't work on Messenger.
Hello guys,
In my old phones, when an SMS comes in, I slide down the notification panel, I can see the entire content of the message.
But in the Mate 9, I can only see the first two lines.
Problem is when using my banking app. When I request TAC, it comes as SMS the moment I switch to the message app to get the code, the banking app automatically logs out (that is how it has been programmed for security purposes). The banking app also doesn't allow split-screen.
Is there a way to get the notification show the entire message when I swipe down the notification panel?
Thanks
Have you tried swiping down the notification panel with one finger to open it, then using a two-finger swipe-down on the sms notification itself?

Just tried. Didn't work.
Thanks for the tip.
It seems that there is no way to get the notification show the entire message when we swipe down the notification panel.
I think it is maybe by design for security purposes.
It doesn't seem like it's for security if it's still showing the first line. I've had no luck replacing the default messaging app with Signal, either, which should have fixed this problem -- the phone lets me change the default, but then I stop getting any SMS messages at all until I change it back.
Probably not the first to ask this - anyone know why I get multiple notifications? Sometimes I get 3-4 notifications for one text or appointment. When I look at my phone there's only one thing showing so its just the notification. Curious...
depend if the app on your phone (re)send notification regularly ? some app like tasker send for example "no active profil" every few minutes but you just see ONE notification on the phone.

Thanks. I only use stock apps for text, email, and calendar. The dupes are usually for text and I can get up to three sometimes.
This reminds me a lot of older Huawei days I hate with my Mate 8...so I am little bit familiar.. that we have to whitelist.
But can some one tell me what I need to do for the apps that have push notifications ?
Is it 2 or 3 places I need to white list ???
From what I remember from my Huawei days was... I did only whitelist apps that used push notifcation or that was a multimedia app for video or audio, the others dont need to run in the background really..
so the concept are not wrong.. but.. I think vivo software should detect if the app want to use push notifications and ask the user if we want to allow that or not...it would make the set up more simple.
I could probably figure it out myself but this would save time..and also its good information for other new owners of the device. Besides this I am super happy with this Vivo Device, its clear to me that Vivo is the next Huawei, the only bad thing about vivo is their pricing, Vivos brand is not strong outside china so it will take time for them to build up same brand as huawei.

We need to Allow Apps to AutoStart & Run in the Background
Funtouch OS Kills most apps in the background in order to achieve better battery life and you would often find yourself missing notifications from your apps like whatsapp, telegram, instagram, twitter etc. You have to allow them to Autostart & Whitelist them/Allow to run in the background if you want to receive timely notifications. To do so follow the below:
* Settings > More Settings > Permission Management > Autostart (Select your preferred apps)
* Settings > Battery > High Background Power Consumption > Select apps
Allow the apps to continue running in the background so keep receiving notifications instantly.
I recommend most social media apps and messenger apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter along with your Widgets and any other applications that are important for you to keep active.
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
that is OK...try using the SofaScore application but not with home wifi network...try with mobile network, I think the notifications in this case are not coming regularly
One more thing I figured out is to make sure background data is on. It is hard to find in the settings. I wasn't getting my email notifications for the stock email app even with all the settings correct.
i somehow found that the background data was off for some reason for that app. Turned it on now everything works great.

I have Nova Launcher. Press and hold the settings spp. You should see a pop up that says battery, data and wifi. Go to data. In there go to data usage. Find the app you are not getting notifications. Check to see if background data is enabled. I don't know how to find this setting by not using Nova Launcher.
Hope this helps.

What setting couldn't you find? The man settings icon in your app drawer. Press and hold. A pop up should appear. Should say Battery, Data and Wifi. Hit the data. On this page, go to Mobile Data Used. There should be a list of apps that have used data. Find the app you are looking for and make sure background data is on. Or even go through the list and turn off background data to apps you don't want. If the app you are looking for isn't there, try again after you have used the phone for a while. Give the app some time to show up.
This is the only way I know of getting to this setting.

What app are you having issuea with out of curiosity?
I keep having issues with the stock email app. Third party email apps work properly.
Ok, I have a problem with notifications.
It's annoying that you can't drag the notifications screen down from the top in the lockscreen, it only works after you unlock the phone.
Also, some notifications in the lock screen don't fully show, they are also not responsove to touch(as to expanding the notification in the lockscreen to show more info)
I can only see what they say after I unlock the phone, drag the top down and press the little arrow that now appears on the right side of google notifications as in the example pics below
The arrow is not there in lock screen, I can't "expand" notifications in lockscreen...
You understand what I mean???
Lockscreen notification 1 st pic and unlocked screen notification second after I press the little arrow
Same for example when I got multiple whatsapp messages, in other phones in the lock screen I touch the notification in the lockscreen and "drag" it down, it expands to show me the messages, in the Nex this is not possible
Any fix? Thanks
Try remove com.vivo.pem in adb shell.

This is very common issue between Chinese software iOS style like Funtouch,MIUI,EMIU.
They don’t support expandable notifications on lock screen neither option like reply or delete from various app like Viber,WhatsApp,outlook,messenger,Gmail.
You can’t resolve it even with third party app because Google remove with Oreo overlays management on lock screen from third party app.
Only when native being supported by OEM.
Unfortunately Chinese OEM interact badly to core Android OS by removing basic features like expandable notifications.
All other non Chinese skin support this feature(Samsung,LG,Sony etc)
The only Chinese OEM support it is OnePlus because of Oxygen skin being stock based.

Thanks for the reply. I made a side by side comparison vixeo with a samsung s 6 and sent it to Vivo on Facebook. Customer service has been amazing I must say

But you can’t reply or delete a massage(WhatsApp Viber,Facebook messenger etc)or email(Gmail,outlook)through lock screen since does not let you expand on it.
And if you get long massage with many words characters you can’t read all of the massage but half only, unless unlocked the screen and pull down notifications center.
Vivo software does not support expand notifications on lock screen just like non Chinese android skin.
I had the same issue with Huawei and Xiaomi device when I had it.
Take a look at this screenshot.
I’ve got 3 emails from outlook but I can’t read the details each one also not having option of reply or delete each massage.
The same with Gmail I can’t expand so I can’t read the whole message and just like outlook I can’t delete or reply directly through lock screen.
In both situations I have to unlocked the phone and the pull down notifications center and only then let me do that.
