Notification management is driving me crazy - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the notification takes up 1/3 of the watch screen so my choices are to keep my active notifications or tell time.
why can't i swipe away notifications while keeping them on my phone??
the watch shouldn't be the notification tray itself, but rather a portal into the notification tray.
a bonus would be if we could bring back swiped away notifications too.

you can swipe the cards 2 ways: to the right to dismiss, downwards to just 'hide' the cards and not losing them (swipe up to show again.)
or is that something that's not generic (i own a sony sw3)?

[Q] Notification bar on lockscreen

Hi all,
Is it possible to disable the pull-down notification bar on the stock lockscreen? It happens a few times, that my phone wakes up due to a sms, and then gets opened in my pocket due to the notification bar.
Thanks for your advice in advance!

Yeah, in the meanwhile I realized, that if a set a pin / pattern / whatever security, the notification bar will be disabled, though I always used my phone with only the swipe to open lockscreen. Seems I have to change now.
Other option would be widget locker, but that will just get killed at random times (even though I don't use any taskkiller).

[Q] Any way to move the notification panel to the bottom of screen(similar to IOS)

Is there any way show the notification panel by swiping from the bottom of the screen instead of the top(default)?
basically is there anything that will allow me to view the expanded notification panel without having to pull down from the status bar?
You haven't gotten any responses because it isn't possible. End of story. New to Android?

Nah but upgrading from a galaxy s4 that has been on 4.4 for 3 years(custom rom) With the new galaxy, its harder to reach the status bar when using one hand.
I agree with you with this one... The navigation bar is a bit of a pain to reach, Although pinning apps to edge bar seems to work OK for me.

then use the one hand operation to make it easier. that's what it is there for. tap the home button three times. that will make the screen smaller, and easy for one hand operation. if you don't have it setup, then go into settings, and advanced settings.
You should try the notification edge panel I bought it straight away then i realised I could of bought the edge notification panel from playstore with the reward app I had.
No way to move the notification pull down itself, but using Nova Launcher Prime (the pay version), you can set up a screen gesture to open the notification shade. You can assign to a downward swipe (starting anywhere on the screen), or a double tap, or other options. Unfortunately, I think this only works from the home page, not from within another app.

Yup. best answer!
I've been using this for years. Still not the same as having a smaller phone though.
Swipe down for notifications, swipe up to sleep.

I should have posted an update but found a work around.
Using All In One Gestures app, I can swipe up from the home button and it will expand the notification panel. This works in any app unlike the Nova option.
Hi, you can use fooView, it allows to expand notification just pulling down the floating icon down, and other actions like back, home, recent, etc. with just one hand.

Second screen tied to notification drawer

For years I have hidden the notification drawer on the top of the screen, most of the info there is duplicated in my widgets, and I just don't like the clutter. However with the V20, hiding the notification drawer also turns off my second screen...which then gets rid of one of the marquee features of this phone.
I've tried on multiple launchers (Nova and Next), and the same result. I've tried permanently hiding it, and using gestures to toggle on and off.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Any rooted users know if this is a problem after root? This one little problem annoys me to no end.
Thanks a lot.
I'm on a non-rooted Verizon V20.
There is a setting that might help that allows it to be active when the display is in fullscreen mode. It's meant for videos so it might not have full functionality.
I'm rooted and I get the same thing. I use Nova and the "toggle notification bar" shuts the second screen off along with the notification bar. I don't know why they're tied together like that, it's annoying...
The second screen's "show time while content is shown" option will leave it on with the notification bar toggled off, but it doesn't do anything, it just shows time and notifications up there. You can't scroll it to get to anything.

Samsung S8 Notification Bar Issue

My notification bar is always dropping down (sometimes intermittently) when I am using the Samsung S8 without me having to pull it down or receiving notifications. It is becoming quite annoying because every few seconds I have to drag it back up so that I am able to use the phone. Has someone else encountered the same issue?
Regards,
Press on the little white dot far left, it makes it stay uo.

It kept the bar visible or let it slide down.

Go to setting, search for navigation bar. The top item says show and hide item. That toggles the dot on and off.

That dot from the far left it is for the navigation bar. I was referring to the notification bar, the one at the top of the screen. Also every now and then the apps edge blinks intermittently and it coincides with the notification bar drop.

No, I didn't. The settings are the factory ones.
Are you using a screen protector?

Yes I do, but the issues started before adding the screen protector. I took it down and still it persists
The problem was solved. If you ask me what caused the issue I have no ideea. All I can do is describe the exact steps I took.
1. I took of the screen protector just in case it was causing the issue
2. I restored the phone to factory settings
3. After that I didn't install any apps and didn't intstall any backups, no passwords, no face recognition, no pin, I omited all of the steps.
It seemed to have worked flawlessly I have no idea why and what was actually casing the issue with the notification bar. One day has passed so far and no notification bar issue so far.
I hope it's gonna stay this way

Notifications on lockscreen

With the P4 I am not getting full notifications on the lock screen, just the icon that the notification is from. I guess this is because of Face unlock (can't just look at the lock screen without the phone unlocking)?
Ahhh, turning off "skip the lock screen" brings back the full notifications.

But they still disappear after a while. How do make the notifications stay permanently?

I assume it's a security setting for notifications, so whenever your phone is unlocked with the face the notifications will show the details, after some time, or after you lock your device again they will disappear.
You need to search under notification or privacy/security settings for that option to either show all notification details on lockscreen or hide sensitive data.
Please let me know if that's what you were looking for.
Also noticed that the clock on the lock screen moves up and down randomly throughout the day. Not sure how to share screenshots here tho
That's to prevent OLED burn-in...
