Camera Flash Notification - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi all! I have a little problem with my Galaxy S4.
In accessibility menu I've unmarked the "flash notification" option....but every time I boot/reboot my device...IT "AUTOMARKS" again the option.
How can I risolve this problem??
P.S.: Camera Flash blinds only with "mail" app....nor gmail or others.
It's very odd problem.
Thanks to all.

[FIX] Vibrate + Ring on XXLPB based ROMs

1) Download Profile Manager from Market
2) Create a new profile
3) Ensure that vibrate is ticked
4) Apply profile
Incoming calls should now ring and vibrate. Notifications are still without vibration.
Setting should stick between reboots and switching to and from silent mode.
YMMV. Post issues if any.
Thanks
Thanks.
Whats also useful: smart vibrater app from the market. Its possible to activate sms vibration with it. You also can use vibration patterns, for example long, short, long or whatever you want.

Hi, I had that problem on xxlph and solved it with "Sound Manager" from the market and it works great! On the aplication you only have to go to menu/vibrate settings/vibrate whenever possible and thats all.
Hope it helps.

Smart stay 'eye' icon always present

Hi all,
I would like to ask if any of you have this same thing.
I have tried to disable all of the smart stay / smart scroll feature of the phone, yet I still see the 'eye' icon in notification which indicated that the feature is still on. Is it just me or you guys have the same thing?
I already tried to turn off the phone, remove the battery, turn on again, it still there.
I don't want to hard reset yet, as maybe something else I could do, or maybe it is supposed to always stay there.
Thank you.
I9505.
On this phone the eye icon is always there but since no active - it is still dimmed. no problems all.

Hi,
If you go to settings/my device/smart screen, and uncheck everything,the eye in the notification bar disappears.

Hi, no luck. I try that as soon as you inform me. But it still there. Any other suggestion? May I know you using I9505 or I9500? Perhaps different built?
Thanks

Finally I hard reset the phone. It's working. The eye is gone. Hope the glitch will not come back.

is there any apps u installed recently (any same apps u installed on stock or wanamlite roms) that u think it could be associated with the sound?
try checking in MyDevice/Accessibility/Services tthat u have allowed apps to access.
other than that I'm clueless.

Hi, have you checked the settings to make sure it's not silent? Check my screen shot. You'd have to tap where it says silent.

Would you like me to take a look remotely ? If yes, pm me
Is there a "Do Not Disturb" setting in Sounds and Notifications? I don't have mine yet, so I can't check for myself. but that has tripped my up a few times on my HTC 10.
If Do Not Disturb is not on, look for a setting called "Smart settings".... it is under General > Smart Functions [Label] > Smart Settings.... if you set the home screen settings to enable the Smart Bulletin Screen you can also get to it from there
Appreciate the replies folks..I just downloaded Textra, but the stock messaging App is still silenced
Same problem

I figured it would be a matter of time before someone else chimed in with the same problem..I still haven't found a solution other than a new app for messaging..
Went to t mobile today. They did a warranty swap for.me. LG told.me.to.send it to them for as service after factory reset did not work.

Maybe I'll do the same cause I'd rather not use textra
This is a feature of android 7.0. When you receive the message, swipe down from the top to show your notifications, press and hold the messaging notification and then you should get an option to select that states Don't silence. It's probably set to Show Notifications silently.
Thank you sir!!

New notifications do not show pop up

I am currently using Oreo March security patch, and the notification such as new messages, emails do not pop up but only show the icon of the app on the top left Conor which makes me feel uncomfortable. I have turned off the edge lighting and all the app notifications are on. But it just wouldn't pop up. Only after I reboot the phone then it works again. I also have tried to force stop the message app, not working well.
Anyone has similar experience? PLS help
