I am using stock EUI 5.8.020S and most of my notifications gets grouped together under a special "..." icon in the notification bar. It is extremely annoying as I want each notification to get a separate icon. I have read that switching region to "USA" on some devices fixes this issue (bug?), but that does not work on mine. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
I also don't understand the logic behind grouping or not grouping, as both Facebook and GMail both gets their own icon, while most other apps gets grouped under the "..." icon. No setting I make seems to change this

Do you know when you have multiple notifications you get that little speech bubble in the title bar? Well, even after tapping it and acknowledging the notifications it stays there. I have to soft reset to remove it.
Is it just me, or has someone else experienced this, or got a solution?
Does this phone/Android in general offer push notifications?
I currently own an iPhone3GS (just got my PAC ,will be ordering Galaxy tomorrow)
I love Gooool 2009, keeps me up to date with scores in the football.I dont have to open an app to check the scores,it informs me as the goals go in.Is there something similar for Android?
And things like Facebook? Will I be informed if someone sends me an IM ala IM+ on iPhone?
I don't know about push notifications really, but your apps can stay connected to the internet in the background so 'live notifications' shouldn't be a problem.
The notification on android works differently (and, coming from an ipod touch, I'd say better). Your notifications will pop-up in the top bar, where your cellullar signal aswell as battery level and other things are displayed (at the moment they appear for the first time the notification bar will show text, like "New updates for program X" or "IM contact A says 'hey there, how are you doing?'", and then it will revert to the normal notification bar with icons for every missed notification). You don't have to click on them nor will they stop you from doing anything else. If you want to go to the app or the specific update/im chat, you just have to slide down the notification bar, and click on the notification. If you want to clear the notification bar, just slide it down and click clear.
edit: here's an example of the pulled-down notification bar on another android phone: http://thecellularguru. com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/android-g1-50.jpg (correct the link, I can't post links yet)
Do any exist and what does it take?
Basically I'm envisioning the standard Android lock screen, except for the right slider. I don't use it for vibrate, so it goes unused.
So, I would like to replace the right side slider with a smart button that allows you to open notifications based upon what you have received.
If you have an unread text, it shows a text message icon and sliding it opens to your texting app. Same thing for Gmail. Obviously its possible to have more than one type of notification, so there would need to be some sort of hierarchy (say Texts > Gmail > Email > WordFeud > Facebook > etc) so that it only opens the most important to you. Users could choose like 3-5 apps that would work with it.
If you have no notifications, then it should default to a single app you use regularly, but does not necessarily have/need notifications (Camera, Google Reader, etc).
Changing the background color of the icon would also be a good way to help differentiate between the default slider, and one that would open a new notification. For example, on the current stock lock screen, the vibrate slider has a gray background. You could keep the gray background for the default app, but when you have a text or email, the icon would change to that app and the background could change to a specified color (say orange for a text, green for an email, etc).
In addition, I wouldn't mind having the weather on the lockscreen as well. Too often do I find myself having to unlock my phone just to check the temperature outside. Obviously the down side to this is having to poll for weather data, but it is something I'd be more than willing to live with. Especially if one could chose how often it updated (30 mins, 1 hour, 3 hours, etc).
I realize most of this can be done with Widgetlocker (or maybe Cyanogen), but honestly I don't like using it and it does not feel polished enough for me. So would something like this have to be baked into a ROM, coded from scratch or whatever? Are there any devs who do this kind of work? is this level of detail even realistically possible given the nature of Android? is this even the right forum?
Just saw the last part, but I think it's still your best bet.
Just curious why don't you like widget locker, it does everything you asked for?

Hey all, I'm looking for a weather app or module that will give me either a constant notification (like the google weather card but just needs to be constant) or sits somewhere in the quick settings (like the one integrated in CM12 is exactly what I would like). A lot of the apps I have tried do give the constant notification BUT they also keep an icon in the status bar which I am trying to avoid. A small handful, such as BrightWeather, offer the option to hide it and is the current one I am using so far. So does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I think amber has option for blank notification icon
Yeah it does, the only problem with Amber is that despite setting refresh interval to 3 hrs, I wakes my device a lot more often than that. I think it had woken to do something >15 times/hour. Tried to go through all the settings and not really sure what it was doing, but the battery drain was too significant
i am enclosing two screenshots to show that there is only one thing in the corner that seems to be on. also nothing in the notifications bar except text me and battery saver and i tried deleting both of them and the notification sound still comes through every 5 to ten minutes, any ideas? does this symbol look familiar to anyone? thanks
What's Running
Hi gorelow,
Can't say that I have seen the symbol before myself, and it certainty doesn't look like a default android symbol. Looks like it's for a 3rd party app installed on the phone. Can you remember when you first saw the symbol and if you had installed any apps around the time of it appearence. Also might be a good idea to look at your current 3rd party running apps in settings and just force close a few, that you think could be linked to the notification and if you close the app that the notification is linked to it would dissappear telling you what app.

You can try to deactivate the notifications for one app by another in settings-->apps-->appXy-->show notifications and see when the notification disappears. Then you'll know which app is responsable for this icon. Hope this helps.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You're referring to the single icon on the left of your notification bar? Looks to me like the icon for Notification Toggles app - you can change the visibility of it in the settings for the app.
Thank you. It got rid of the icon. I've never experienced that app making a notification sound. I'll keep trying to figure out how sonething that doesnt show up can mak e a notification sound. Thanks again
