Gmail POP-UP preview and Floatify - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I use Gmail as my default mail client, and I have noticed that I cannot get the preview pop-up for incoming new messages like I do for SMS. Apparently the only app that does it for me is Floatify, but I was wondering if there is something better available in the market?
Am I the only one who really missed that feature on Gmail?

Check the setting in Settings->Notifications->Advance Notification and turn off Show Silently

Thanks for this. It's already turned off but I'm afraid that unfortunately GMAIL doesn't support the pop-up notifications on this phone.

I believe OP is talking about Heads Up notifications. And no I haven't been able to get them to show either

Yup, that's what I was talking about. Only way to get them is through a 3rd party app like Floatify. I'm wondering if it's because of Nougat?

Go to optimise battery usage & turn off the gmail app there & check.

Turn of edge lighting. You will get the popup then.
Its the new edge lighting pop-ups that replace the regular heads-up notification

Guys i tried both things but Gmail unfortunately doesn't show any popup when a new message arrives. Try!

Found it. SOLVED!!!!
System settings > Notifications > Advenced (top right corner) > find Gmail > press on Mail > importance: choose urgent. DO THE SAME FOR MISCELLANEOUS AND ATTACHMENTS. BOOM DONE. FINALLY!

It pops up whenever I get an SMS, but I have notifications disabled in Messages. Where can it be coming from? I use Handcent primarily, so I keep getting two notifications. I'm on Fresh 2.0d, by the way.
Edit: They also seem to only appear after I wake the phone up from sleep. So I will receive an SMS notification from Handcent, then when I go to check it I get this one.
Disable notifications either for the stock messaging app or for Handcent, I would advise disabling them for the stock messaging app if you use Handcent to send them. Go into stock messaging app>Press Menu Button>Settings>uncheck Notifications.

I've done that already, as stated in my first post. I've never had this problem before.
What app comes up when you tap it?

It just goes to my Handcent messages, but it doesn't go away.
Edit: It isn't from the default messaging app. I enabled notifications from it, and now I have a different notification in addition to the mystery notification as you can see here:
Do you have PopSMS installed? Try disabling and enabling notifications in Handsent? What does it say the notification is for, identical to the other one for the text you just got or something completely different?

I do not have PopSMS. I am trying disabling Handcent notifications now. The notification only says "A new message has been received" while Handcent and the default app say "Person's Name - Message."

Ah HAH! It was Beautiful Widgets Pack 2 SMS Widget! I just opened that, disabled notifications, deleted the widget, and no more notifications. Thank you very much, good sir!

What am I doing wrong in email settings??

I get all notifications in the pull down bar for gmail, text etc. And it plays the sound I chose. BUT for my work email, I use the email app... and nothing. I get new emails, but no notification sound or in the pull down bar. This is my 3rd Samsung Galaxy. I'm familiar with the settings, and have double checked that I have checked off to be notified in the pull down bar. But nothing. No sound. No notification. I just know I have an email because the number changes on the icon. j
Any suggestions please??
have you check the sound setting on the email app it self

Goto Settings->Blocking Mode and disable it.
This should solve your problem.

Blocking mode is disabled.. not only don't I get any Sound, but absolutely nothing in the notification pulldown bar. the only thing I get, is a number over the email icon.
Anyone else having this issue? I dont know if this is hardware or software?
I'm using exchange server and all is fine. My settings are found in or together with my exchage account.
Sorry for the Dutch.

My settings are slightly different. But for the most part, look the same. I have the FRANCE version ALIH .. I wonder if if is a software glitch?

I think the pull down bar does not work for the email client. It does not work for me too.

No, the pulldown definitely works for email client. I checked on 2 different Samsung devices and it always has for me. What software version are you running?
I guess I will have to wait for an update.
Hey this has happened to me a couple of times and I got it working by turning off sync in Settings/Applications manager and then turning on again and then do this turn on then off in the stock email settings for syncing.

I turned it off in the actual app. But couldn't see it anywhere else in settings.

Remove User Account Picture

Hi all,
Under the Quick Settings pull down menu, the first button is the User Account. It shows the user's name and profile picture(if there is one). I've associated a picture with the user profile; but a while later, even after I removed/deleted the picture, the picture still shows up under the Quick Settings pull-down. My question is, is it possible to have the icon revert back to the default android user icon(below)?

Yes I have. In the contacts app, my profile doesn't have a picture anymore. However, the picture still shows up under the Quick Setting menu.
so the picture doesn't show up under Quick Setting menu if you delete yours from the profile?

Not sure then. Mine is from Google + profile pic so if I delete it then it removes the picture in the quick toggles.
You may just need to wipe and start clean.

Damn this issue doesn't even affect the phone in anyway, it's just my personal preference. A wipe needs so much work D:

Meizu MX5 and push notification issues

I bought them for almost two months and overall satisfied with everything except one thing - push notification issue. This is apply to all apps that owner need to be notified such as LINE, WhatsApp or even Gmail. It would happen around 1-3 minutes after your phone standby. Delay could be from 5 minutes to 15 minutes and more. No "Power saving" and "Wifi sleep" enabled. This was happen a much less when I was with 4..5.2.5A rom and much more when I upgraded to 4.5.2.7A. You could see messages only if you open those app manually most of the times. It was ridiculous
Here are solutions I tried and non of them work so far.
1. Went to Security --> Permissions --> Set "LINE" / "Google Services Framework" / "Google Account Manage" as auto restart.
2. above + Went to Security --> Power Saving --> Set "LINE" available to run while idle. Two setting simultaneously and still not work.
3. above two + lock "LINE" application to work on background. Three combination still doesn't ring a bell.
4. Roll back to 4.5.2.4A / 4.5.2.2A / 4.5.2.1A and still the same. (4.5.2.5A has been merged by Meizu developer so non available for download at the time.)
5. Try install almost every Launcher, every notification apps and even "push notification fixer" (for non-root) and still the same.
Do you have any idea or recommendation for a custom rom or a custom fix for this issue?
Hi.
I have just the same issue with recently bought Meizu M2 mini: Hangouts, Skype, Gmail - no notifications.... It's really frustrating
I have never had notification problems with M2 and MX5, this is what I do:
Security App, permission, Launch. Here every app to notify. Google stuff also.
Security app, powersaving. The same
Also this apps blocked in the multitask
Settings, wifi, advanced, wifi sleep disabled
Lock the app in ram via multitasking bar, this will not let the app to turn off.
anyone find a solution to this?
Hi
I found the solution 100% working for me. Just enter in security app/power/settings and disable the option " disable Linked Launch" thats all. Enjoy!

I had the same problem and solved it by

2. Allowing all apps in security/power/app management

Messenger

Bring back the old messenger. Anybody else notice the change? When clicking on messenger rather than opening up the messenger box it opens up contacts then find the person before the messenger box opens up. Just an additional step that is not needed.

On the newest Messenger app itself? Or are you talking about going into messenger from the fb app? Im on the newest update for messenger and it doesnt do that to me. Try un-sync contacts. I dnt have my contacts sync on. Maybe thats why. Hopefully this helps.

Just the stock messenger app. Maybe with Oreo we will get it back. Just another added step to send a text that we don't need.
