Question Certain "notification" keep hanging on the screen blocking the view. - Google Pixel 7 Pro

For example, in the attachment, you can see a key piece of real estate is occupied for prolonged period, after a notification popped and should have gone away in 5 seconds. Maybe the blockage isn't always real, still it's a pain in the butt. I only have this issue for 1 out of 3 pixel 7 pro. The blockage could also appear in the middle of the screen if that's when the notification initially showed up. System build is stable Feb 2023 build. Rooted for sure. Thanks

what app is causing the error and what does that error mean?

It could be many apps that would create "notification" on the screen. Did you see the "FX has been granted super user rights" at the bottom in the attached picture? And that app is the FX File Explorer.

That's not a notification. That's a "toast" message. They have a duration of Toast.LENGTH_SHORT (1 second) or Toast.LENGTH_LONG (5 second) determined by the application showing the message.

You can disable your toast message in Magisk. Superuser tab/tap FX File Explorer/disable notification

Thanks. How do I fix it then w/o using K1nsey6's method? It's not just the FX File Explorer. It could be another app. I don't mind seeing notification. Just don't get hung on the screen

You are a godsend! I was about to share another picture where the toast hung in the middle of the home screen for prolonged duration. Many thanks.

Light Manager

I have never used Light Manager before, but the idea of different colored lights for different types of notifications sounds useful. I have tried to get it to work for the past 3 days, but I can't find a combination of options that will work.
Is anyone using it successfully who might let me know what their configuration is?
I appreciate your time.
Did you remember to turn on the LED in your phone settings? You go to Settings>Notifications>Tap the gear in the upper right. Make sure you turn that switch on.
When you first open light manager it will prompt you to allow notification access which can be found under your phone's settings>apps>little gear at the top right>special access>notification access. Make sure light manager is checked. (It asks you to set that up right when you first open light manager)
After that just it should start working. Go into light manager and start setting up your colors and stuff. You can test each notification you set up (just have to make sure to turn off your screen while the test is going on)

I just re-installed it and got the notification message, now it's working fine. I don't know how I missed it the first time through. Thanks!
I just gave this a go but ambient display kept coming on every few seconds for no reason.

Yup. I installed the free light manager to test and as soon as I turned the screen off ambient display kept turning on every few seconds.

This is a bug the developer is aware of. It only applies to "Alternating Mode". I switched back to normal and it stopped.

Oh ok awesome. I didn't try that mode but will give it another try with that mode enabled.
I also had some issues with LF. My gmail functioned as it should, but I could not use sms or other apps. The developer told me how he got things to function properly. I have had no issues sense. Here is what you need to do. Just change out the app you want for notifications.
I'd recommend the following.
1. remove the contact specific notification you have set up and the standard text message notification.
2. get a text message from the contact you want specific notifications for and don't yet read it.
3. go into lightflow, notification settings and press "+" and select from all installed apps and select messenger.
4. Press "+" again and select from an outstanding notification and select the unread text message and select it and click add.
5. Find this notification and click on it (then press the pencil icon in the title to give it a meaningful name)
6. Enable the "notification person matches..." switch
7. Finally in notification settings click on the 3 lines with an arrow button at the top and drag the contact specific notification above the default messenger notification.
This is the setup I use on my 5x and 6p and pixel. It also allows you to do similar for pretty much any app or for example switch when a particular word is in a notification so it's quite customisable.
Cheers

"Service Provider Apps" - How to remove notification?

Like many others, one of the first things I did when configuring my phone was to remove as much bloatware as possible.
No, I don't need your crappy music app, or your ad-infested games. Uninstalled.
Now, on day two, I have an un-dismissable notification: "Service Provider Apps".
Clicking on it returns a menu: "Select apps recommended by your service provider."
App Name: "Amazon Prime Video" with a check mark that can't be unchecked.
Can't dismiss notification. Only option is "Install" when clicking notification.
Long press doesn't allow for blocking app notifications, but did allow me to force stop it, killing it for the time being.
I seem to remember there was a way to disable some notification to permanently stop receiving those messages.
Any tips?
With the whole Bixby debacle, I'm not surprised that they're trying to force even more junk on us.
Package disabler pro on market will disable it... Or long click and choose never display notification

just installed Package Disabler Pro and can confirm it does stop it, if anything changes i'll update here. as for long clicking on it to never display, this isn't an option.
Go to Settings-Display-Status bar- activate Show recent notifications only.
You will never sed thst notification again..
Good luck!
Still there, that setting was already enabled
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
1. Click on the notification,
2. On the new screen, click on the "Service Provider Apps" header
3. This takes you into Service Provider where you can Force Stop the app AND tell it to stop all notifications.
Good luck!
For me this worked:
- goto Settings/Apps
- click the menu icon (top right hand side of the screen - 3 vertical dots)
- click 'Show system apps'
- locate 'Service provider update' in the (long) list
- click it
- click 'Storage'
- click 'Clear data'
But this did the trick temporarily. The notification came back the next day. Now looking for a better solution
- click 'Delete'

Question WTF is this little stick figure icon on the left/notification side of my status bar? UPDATE, screenshots and found out what it is

Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?
and the screenshot is.................? kinda hard to help if we don't see what it is..
The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.
Anyway to stop the "check access settings" little guy notification from coming up

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.
Also, what is the other app with moon and glowing clock? (screenshot attached)..looks cool

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks
it's worth checking out, some stuff is iffy with it tho

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.

Question Pixel 7 Pro Notifications?

Can someone walk me through this? Totally new to Pixel phones. Been using LG for the last 10 years.
I have Nova Launcher installed and it seems to be working properly with no issues.
I'm getting written notifications on my lock screen whenever a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to posts a new video. I don't want that. (This is happening on most of my apps)
In the past with the LG, i'd just get a tiny colored bubble with a number on the app's icon on my home screen. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the P7P. Is there a way to get the phone to do this?

I've tried that on the lock screen, and it takes me to a page asking me if I want to unsubscribe from notifications from that YouTube channel. Is this correct? I do still want to get a bubble on the app's icon on my home screen letting me know I have unseen content.

Hmm, I don't think so. Have you tried it once you've unlocked the lock screen? Please see screenshot.
Didn't make a difference.
If "notifications “ are turned off, will I still get the little dot on the app icon?
Ok, I may have an idea.
In the notifications settings area....
Pic below, set hide silent notifications from the lock screen. Then long press the notification in the status bar and set them to silent.
They will still show in your status bar and app icon.
Downside to my plan is if you have, for example, text messages set to silent they will no longer show on lock screen if you want that.

Yes, at the bottom of the list of notications, there is an option to have the dot separately.

Question AOD notifications

Sorry, me again!
I'm working on the notifications, and how to get them coming through, I'm on MIUI 14 now. I've got the always on display set to 'on' and to show notifications. But they don't seem to be showing for some reason.

Probably not very useful for your case but on MIUI13 I have no problems with AOD notifications. everything appears there.
Have you enabled all the apps in Settings>Notifications and Control Centre>Lock Screen ?
I think they are connected with the AOD ones...

I popped out for a bit this morning, and Strangly, I had a missed call, and text notification waiting for me. Seems to take a bit of getting used to the notifications on this, some apps only notify when I open them, even if they're set to lock screen.

MIUI Battery optimizations...
You need to disable this for every app you need consistent notifications. Hold your finger on the app icon and then select App Info. Then scroll down until you see " Battery Saver" Change it to " No Restrictions" for all the apps you need. Also from that page, you can enable the Autostart option
