[Q] notification icon/bubble - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Looking for a app similar to apex notifier, but no quite. Just something simple, like icon pop up to let me know when I have a message. Also is there a way to have it so my screen wakes up when I get a text? Thanks if any of you guys can help

Might as well get all my questions out in one blow. How do I go about moving games to my SD card as well.

Have CM10! woohoo! can I get this Circles Widget back?

I know there is a clone, but it's stripped of the location weather and message preview.
Sorry to thread jack, but are you having low call volume or does yours seem to be okay? On earpeice that is
seemed fine...had to turn it up the first incoming call

If you want to go to the stock launcher you can. I searched around for RAZR M home screen and found one with the Circle widget and Quick Settings which is basically all I wanted stock. Now I need to find a way for Smart Actions to work lol

Notification pull down

I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.

Lockscreen

im gettingvreally annoyed with unlovking d phone and the clock expands. Is there a way to remove the expand option?

I don't see one.

Bumping this one ... Anyone knows how to get a clean unlock screen like S3 for example ?
Are we all on the same page here.... sometimes the lock screen will go haywire and show some mini applications, or boxes that have edit options? Like adding stuff to the lock screen when you didn't ask for it... ? Anyway to turn it off.... Might have to buy a custom locker
I dont have any widgets/apps on the lockscreen, but its kind of annoying when the clock expands and makes it hard to unlock the phone....
I guess we got too used to the "slide from anywhere to unlock" feature. Just slide at the very bottom and youre golden every time
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
If you slide downward from the clock widget or any other screen widget, this feature allows you to edit the current widget, add a new one, or replace.

How can I TOTALLY get rid of the annoying text message lock screen widget?!?!

You know how when you receive a text message and your phone is locked and sleeping... when you wake your phone the first screen you see is the lock screen widget of the person's name that sent you the message and also part of the text message as well. How the hell can I totally get rid of this?? It's veryy annoying and I'd like to use DashClock to view who texted me, not that. Thanks!
EDIT: Attached screenshot of what I am talking about.

That's what I thought too until I realized that I wasn't using any of Samsung's gimmicky add-ons. To each his own, I guess.
For what it's worth, if you click the notification and then swipe in the unlock area like normal, it'll take you right to the app with the notification. I found that out through trial and error.

I always find myself using them. Especially the IR Blaster. Quick Glance is very useful as well.
And yeah I've known that. But like I said, I'd rather use DashClock and the SMS DashClock extension for viewing SMS on my lockscreen. I wanna totally get rid of it somehow!!

Lol, I kinda figured that. But I have no idea how to do that, what to look for or anything to do with it at all lmao. It'd be nice if someone could though :good:
Just looked in system/apps and there is no lockscreen APK actually hahaa.
Open messaging. Go to settings (in the app) and uncheck message preview.

This may not be what you are looking for, but I use SMS Popup for my notifications and turn off the notifications on the sms app itself. I do not get the notice on the lock screen. So I am thinking there is something in the stock SMS app that makes it show on the lockscreen. So if you any other app to get the notification this would remove it from the lockscreen. I don't know if you want to add another app to your phone to get a notification or not just to get rid of the lock screen.
I like SMS Popup because I like the pop-up message that I can reply to, however you can turn that off and just get the normal notification. I also like that I can assign a different ringtone and LED notifications to a contacts so I can know who is texting me.

Textra notifications

So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

As you can see in the picture, I have 4 text messages and 4 separate notification icons in my status bar telling me I have a text from each individual person. If I were using a stock messaging app however, It would only appear as one notification icon in my status bar. Is there anyway to fix this? I hope this clears up some confusion
I think that would be how the app is designed correct me if im wrong though email the dev?

I am using apex launcher and the icon pack is tendere
I really want to like Textra, but there's another annoying feature.
If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.
