The problem is, the Wifi and new SMS notification doesnt automatically pop-up.
It actually started with my new hotspot notification. Since I dont use wifi that often, I ignored it.
Yesterday, the same thing happened with my SMS notification. I still hear the new SMS sound. I still get the new SMS icon on the start bar. Only problem is, it doesnt automatically display at the bottom like it used to. I either have to click the icon or hit the left soft key.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I know its a minor problem but I've already gotten used to the function.

in a neverending battle with a phone that is underpowered and clumsy, i now have had enough. I figure i will give this one shot here before i buy a pearl or dash on monday (probably a pearl as the wm phones i have used have all seemed to be piled of ****e).
Everytime i try to activate my phone on my home wifi network, it freezes. Anyone experienced that, got a fix? It's ridiculous how touchy this phone is and annoying.
Actually, perhaps you can suggest some other fixes to annoyances.
I dial and then put the phone to my face, and poof, my cheek hangs it up.
After boot, the message button won't open my poutlook, it opens but doesn't display. If i hit the text or email entry on the today screen, it works fine.
Bluetooth won't work correctly, insomuch as it won't output to the headset but people can hear me fine
I get notification i have a voicemail, and i dismiss it.. so dismiss the bloody thing - i still have the notification by the clock, i want to REMOVE the link to voicemail by the left bottom softkey.. so i can see other notifications, annoying, annoying, annoying.
Overall i find this phone to be a bulky, heavy, clumsy, unresponsive POS. I know that's a negative thing here, but i am really frustrated.
Chill out, relax. I've been using the wizard without any problems whatsoever but if anything, the WiFi is a problem because of my stupid router (a WRT54GC). But even then, once it's associated, it's not a problem. I have a Belkin downstairs which is the gateway device and I have 0 problems associating and using WiFi with it. My device is an XDA Mini S.
Now, enough about me, here's a few questions:
When you say lock up, what locks up? The whole phone? Does pressing the keys bring up the keypad lights? Is this the case after a hard reset as well?
I can't use my cheek to disconnect the phone ...maybe because I have a screen protector on? I don't know but I never had this problem :S
No comment on the poutlook but mine works fine with everything so far :S
I haven't used BT for headsets but this might depend on the profile used by the headset.
I don't use voicemail so I can't say much about the notifications.
The wizard is by no means flawless but I have not come across anyone with the same problems as you...but then again, I've been away for a fair bit :S
the message notification is terrible. If there's a voicemail. You can't see anything else until you check it. Dismis just brings it back. All other dismiss fine. THisis on my sx-66 wm5
hi everyone.. i've had a problem that has been bugging me for quite some time now. it happens just once or twice a week, but it is still very annoying.
sometimes when i receive an SMS message on my trinity, nothing will happen, no alert, no screen light up, nothing.. and without me even knowing, my trinity has frozen. the green light still flashes, and i can try to ring the phone and it rings from the end i dial from.. but the phone does nothing, does not light up or make noise or vibrate. it's just stuck.. whenever this happens i have to soft reset, and when i do, i lose the text message that was received, and i am never able to read it.
i've pin-pointed it down to it only happening when i receive SMS messages, but even then it's only occassionally.. as i said, about once or twice a week.
has anyone else had this problem?
Did you use a third party soft like SMS notifier?
no i don't.. the only third party software i use is a tab control program to launch my applications from today screen, this has been happening since before i installed pretty much anything on the phone
*bump*
really annoying bug
Volume changes - For instance, I'm at work and I sent my phone to silent or vibrate first thing in the morning. Then, on my break I would use my phone but not change the silent or vibrate mode at all. All of a sudden, I'm off my break working, and my phone would ring and I would be like "WTF, I put it on silent/vibrate" .....and this doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally on its own. Anyone else having this issue?
SMS text not showing - With this issue, I would tap the text message box and would see myself texting, then all of a sudden I can't see what I'm typing at all, until I tap the text box again. It gets hella annoying and want to know if this issue was apart of the SMS bug issue.
Please give me advice for any or both of my issues. Thanks

I get that same issue, in my case the cause is a new message appearing in the thread, while I'm still composing a reply to an earlier one...any time that happens, my text input box disappears behind the keyboard, until I close and open it again.
+1 i have the same issue, super ****ing annoying

Does any one else use shazam? bc i noticed when i loaded in to it this issue with volume started

Hi everyone,
before I take this into my list of OOS 2.1.2 bugs, I'd first like to evaluate whether I'm alone with this issue or not.
THE ISSUE: Approximately half the time, when a notification comes in on my phone - no matter from which app - the phone doesn't vibrate or play the corresponding notification sound.
WHAT SETTINGS I AM USING: I have been using "VibrateMode" for a while and have set the notifications slider to All/Vibrate/None, and this usually happens when vibration is on. So my first thought was, this might have something to do with VibrateMode overriding the original "priority notifications only" setting to "vibrate on notification".
WHAT HAPPENS: However, today this also happened when I had set my phone to "all notifications" and had the volume pulled up all the way. When I first received an email, the phone vibrated and played the notification sound. A little later another email came in, plus an update notification from Play Store and a news update from Google News & Weather. This time, however, there was no sound and no vibration, only the LED was blinking. This also happens frequently when receiving messages on FB Messenger. Half of the time, the phone doesn't vibrate when a new message comes in, but only the LED starts blinking (and the screen turns on thanks to Glimpse Notifications - otherwise I'd probably miss half of my incoming messages.)
So, is anybody else experiencing this bug?
UPDATE:
Can't say with 100% certainty yet, but it appears that activating "Ultimate Notification Control" in GravityBox helped with this issue. Will confirm after/if a couple more notifications come through correctly.
Still curious as to whether I'm the only one experiencing this bug.

No, but I'm considering updating to OOS 2.2.0 in the coming days, so I'll see whether the bug is still present then.
Is anyone else having their phone do a random vibrate like a notification came in, but you don't see anything showing up as coming in to have it do that?
Advanced Features->Smart Alert is causing it. It will vibrate upon pickup detection if you have a missed call or unread message.
I've been experiencing the same problem on my S8+ and it's driving me crazy. Notification reminder, smart alert and all these other features are off. Really don't know what to do, I'm guess it's a hardware issue.

Do you have Bixby disabled? It was happening to me when I hit the Bixby button with Hello Bixby disabled.

Hmm, ok. I just turned it Off. It was happening while the phone was already in my hand and I'd be doing other stuff. No calls or msgs were coming in when it happened though. Will see if this stops it.
Settings -> Accessibility -> Notification Reminder -> Turn Off
Hope that works. If not I remember back in my S6 days there was a menu in accessibility also for one of the categories where it had heptic feedback for sounds and everytime there was movement or sound it would vibrate. I cant find it though

Same here, I doubt that it's related to notification reminder. I had it turned off since I bought the phone.
If there is nothing happening (messages coming etc.) I think the vibration might come from the false haptic feedback in home button. Mine does it quite regularly and it is starting to drive me crazy. I hope it is software issue as the DOA isn't available anymore and I don't want to give it for the repair just yet.
My Phone also vibrates when my finger is near the fingerprint sensor and cant read it

Is your bluetooth connected to anything? Once your phone's bluetooth disconnects from the other device, the phone vibrates
I have the same issue. It makes me crazy ! Samsung - any ideas?
Same here. I'm going nuts if nobody knows a solution.
That's since S4 days, people.
Mine does it too while I'm holding it. No notification on the status bar. It will just vibrate by itself.
My S4 never did that and that doesn't mean we should be fine with it.
It happens to me with the home button, the vibration isnt reliable and it sometimes vibrated 3 times.

So I uninstalled an app called Samsung Pay, then my phone just stopped getting the random vibrating.

It is the Edge Panel. I had to turn off the Edge Panel to stop the vibration. Or you can go to settings and turn off the vibration for activating the Edge Panel. What happens is when you hold your phone, your palms sometimes activate the edge panel.
Since we are at it , while am driving and having the phone between my legs it turns on by itself. no vibration or anything. Anyone with similar issues?
P.S No notifications whatsoever. System or Internet based.
