I tried to find answer but its either impossible or either I cant search properly so here is my problem.
After I enable battery saving in G6(Oreo. not rooted) I get battery icon present in top left corner of the bar and also on lock screen there is message informing me battery saving is on. So is there a way to have battery saving on but without all those things that remind me about it all the time ? Only way I have found so far is to swipe message on lock screen to the right and I have two options, one of them has clock icon and after pressing on it it gives me option to put this notification to "sleep" for max two hours and after clicking it all battery saving notifications are gone but they come back after this 2 hours apparently. I dont even know if this option puts notifications to sleep or battery saving is disabled for those 2 hours. So is there a way to have battery saving on but without any reminders/notifications ?
Thanks for any help
The only solution I found is to make the notification as non-intrusive as possible. If you tap and hold on the notification, you can go to "All Categories" and set the "Status" category to low priority. You can even prevent the notification from showing on the lockscreen. If you did everything right, there shouldn't be an icon on the status bar.
Keep in mind that this also affects all other SystemUi notifications that fall under the "Status" category, and there's no way around this.
On the current version of Android (10) if you swipe your screen from the top down you will see the Battery Saver is On notification. If you press and hold this notifcation you will see: Silent notifications / System UI / Status: These notifications can’t be modified.

In the status bar? There isn't one, unless you're on a custom rom. you can see it in quick settings by pulling down the status bar (aka notification tray) with two fingers at the same time. For the sound/silent/vibrate, hold the power button until a menu pops up. The 3 options on the bottom under airplane mode are the sound/vibrate/silent with no vibrate toggles.
Use 'Power Toggle' app
I know with my N5 I had constant problems with the "butt dial flashlight" and on of the reasons I got a N6 is that I wanted to eliminate that problem and indeed it was successful. Now with the 6P this morning I noticed my pocket was getting hot and I took the phone out and the flashlight was on.. How do I disable the flashlight as I never use it anyway and if you ever saw a battery sucker it is the flashlight?
Assuming you're talking about the quick launch icon in the notification shade, turn on System UI Tuner (hold down the settings gear in the shade for a few seconds and it will start to spin under your finger (hard to see). Then go into settings and at the very bottom it will say System UI tuner. You can then customize what icons are shown in the shade.
Ok what is "notification shade" .. does phone need to be rooted as I held down the settings gear for at least 9 seconds on the screen that shows things such as bluetooth, airplane mode, auto rotate, Location.. etc and I never got the setting wheel on the upper right near the percentage of battery and nothing happened, but my 6P is not rooted?
Your phone does not need to be rooted, but you do need to keep your finger very still as you're pressing on the gear icon. It took me a couple of tries.
if you have OK GOOGLE enabled...
"OK Google, turn off flashlight".
I'm serious.
You don't need to be rooted. Maybe have developer settings turned on in the first place?
"To enable System UI Tuner in Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview 3, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds. Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.†And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner."
Once enabled you will see a small wrench next to the gear icon in the notification shade.
Notification shade is the pulldown menu where you notifications appear, and where the quicklaunch icons are.
As @Zlatty said, you might need to turn on Developer Options first (but the Droid Life guide doesn't mention it). To enable this, go to Settings > About and tap on Build Number 7-8 times until it says "You're a developer!".
Will this stop it from going on or does it just shut it off once it it on?
OK I was able to access that screen and flashlight icon was pale with a diagonal line through it but all that tells me is that it is off as I did nothing to disable PERMANENTLY the flashlight that I know of ??
Yes that worked but you have to know it is on.. I want it never to go on.
@painfree Click and hold on the flashlight quick launch icon in the System UI tuner Quick Settings and drag it down to the trash to delete the icon from your Quick Settings/Quick Launch.
fury683, thank you that worked it is removed.
1. See your Home screen on the big screen
Before you cast, ensure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Cast device and that you have the latest version of your choice of Google Cast app.
Open the Google Cast app.
Select "Cast Screen" from the menu and tap "Cast Screen.".
2. Share your phone but protect your info
Swipe down the top edge of the screen to open Quick Settings.
Tap the user icon on the top right and select "Add a Guest" to start Google Guest Mode.
When you get the phone back, end Guest Mode by tapping the user icon and selecting "Remove Guest".
Tap "Remove" to delete all apps and data from the guest's session.
3. Swipe for notifications
Open Settings.
Tap "Moves".
Make sure the slider next to "Swipe for notifications" is in the "On" position.
Now, swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to check your notifications from any screen.
4. Translate signs on the go
Ensure you have the Google Translate app on your phone and open it.
In the top-left corner, select the language of the text you're looking at.
In the top-right corner, select the language you'd like to see the text in.
Tap the camera icon, point your camera at the text you want to translate.
To pause the camera and see the translated text, tap "Pause" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
To resume, tap "Play".
5. Enable pulse notification LED
Concealed in your Pixel's front-facing speaker is a tiny LED light that can be used to notify you of missed messages. It's turned off by default, but you can enable this feature in just a few simple taps: Settings> Notifications> Tap on the Gear icon in the top-right corner > Toggle on the "Pulse notification light". And voila! Your Pixel will now blink its notification light when you have a notification waiting.
6. Make the screen wake up when you get a notification
You can make you Pixel's screen wake up when it gets a new notification such as a text message, an email or a missed call, etc.
To turn on the feature, Go to Settings> Display and enable Ambient Display.
7. End an on-going call using the power button
You can use the power button on your Google Pixel to cut an on-going call. To enable this feature, go to Settings> Accessibility and enable Power button ends call option.
8. Using the multi-window or split-screen functionality
In the past, we've seen the multi-window feature on some Samsung and LG devices. Android Nougat has multi-window feature baked into the very OS. It is quite obvious that the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have the multi-window or split-screen functionality enabled by default.
To be able to use the multi-window functionality on the Google Pixel, you must have some open apps in the Recents. Suppose you want to use Chrome and Facebook apps simultaneously, you need to open them individually first and then close the apps. After that,
Open one of the apps.
Then tap and hold the Recents button on the navigation bar.
When the multi-window mode is on, the recents icon will split into two parts (see above).
The opened app will start showing in a window covering the upper-half of the screen.
On the lower window, you'll see the recent apps.
Just select the app you want to use on the other part of the screen.
To resize the window, you can drag the "—" icon up or down (see the highlighted areas in the screenshot above.
To close multi-window, just tap and hold the Recents button on the nav bar.
9. Instantly see time and notifications when the screen is sleeping
Actually, I experienced this feature first after my iPhone 6 received the iOS 10 update. It is really a very useful feature that wakes up the screen as soon as you take your phone out of the pocket or lift it.
The Google Pixel/Pixel XL received this feature after the Android 7.1.1 update. As soon as you hold the phone and lift it up, it displays the current time, day, date, your previously set lock screen personal message and notification cards from different apps.
10. Enable battery percentage on status bar
On most Android devices, you can enable Battery percentage on status bar option from Settings> Battery. On the Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones, the feature has been disabled by Google for some reasons.
Don't worry, as you can easily make your Google Pixel to show battery percentage on the status bar. Well, it's a bit tricky, but it works:
Swipe down the status bar to bring down the quick settings or the notification panel.
Now press and hold on the Settings gear icon for a few seconds.
You'll see a toast message box saying "Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings".
Now open Settings and scroll down to System UI Tuner and tap it.
Tap on Status bar in the System UI Tuner menu.
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to find the Battery option and tap it.
Select Always show percentage option from the menu that pops up.
You'll now be able to see battery percentage on the status bar.
Done! The only issue is, the battery percentage shows on the battery icon and is so small in size that you might need a magnifying glass to read it. LOL!
Anyway, there's another way to easily find the battery level percentage of on your Google Pixel. Just swipe the status bar with two fingers and you will find the battery percentage just bellow the battery icon in the quick settings page.

Great post but I have a question. Does anyone know if there's a quick setting to turn on/off data auto sync?

I love the you can copy and paste by simply dragging text between windows in multi-window. That blew my mind!
Hi!
Whenever I receive a notification, the AOD shows an icon for the relevant app.
I would like to see a detailed notification, like who sent the message and a preview, not just an icon.
I've already went into the AOD settings and made sure "hide content" and "notification icons only" are not ticked, but no change.
I have the G950U1, lock screen enabled and AOD enabled. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Would really appreciate help.
That is how it is supposed to work. There's no official way to show the whole notification on AOD other than if you enable Edge Lighting where it will display a preview for a couple seconds before disappearing leaving just the icon to double tap.
Although I am interested if there's some way to jimmy it to be more useful too.
Well, that's disappointing...
Thanks for the reply.
Go to Settings/Apps/Options (3 dots at the top right corner)/Show system apps. Go into Alway On Display, hit Force Stopp, go to Memory and delete data and cache.
Check AoD again.
Just did what you suggested.
Except for now constantly showing a two overlapping circles and "double tap here to find out how to use AOD", no change...
Now, how do I get rid of that icon and text and get the full notification on AOD, if that's possible?
Edit: got rid of the icon and text, but still no full notification on AOD.
Can anyone share a screenshot of full notifications on AOD?
I don't recall seeing this on my Note9 running Pie, but with my S10+, when the battery is full, a second battery icon is pushed (left side next to the time) when the phone is plugged in and battery at 100%. According to the notification details, it is System UI / Battery Full. Unfortunately I cannot disable any of the System UI notifications.
Any workaround?
Update: System UI on the Note9 doesn't have a "battery full" trigger, hence why I've never seen it. Definitely something introduced on the S10.

It's not new to the S10, my S8+ had it. Unplug the phone at 100% if it really bothers you that much.
Long press the notification and select "details". Or, just go to settings/notifications/see all - Select "all" in the dropdown, select system apps in the overflow menu and scroll down to System UI and disable the notification for Battery Full. Obviously, the first method is faster

Battery full, infact all of the System UI notifications are force enabled. Even silent and minimised it shows on the notification bar.

Well that's ****ty. I didn't even notice that they were greyed out.
there is an app, autonotification. you can use it hide persistent notifications. I used it to hide some Gear Wearable notifications, works great.

I think we'd all prefer a native solution (even if it had to be done with ADB)

Yep; however, even on Pixels, not all of them are able to be disabled.
basically it's effed up that the guru's (used liberally) think that the average phone owner shouldn't be allowed to turn off any effing notification we want. I have a galaxy S9+ and if my phone is plugged in at night, and I don't mute notifications, there is no way to stop the annoying battery full notification. It's grayed out, along with all others except for "screenshits" and "app icon badges" wake TFU android idiot programmers and fix this crap.
Same problem here on my Note 10. All notifications in the system UI are forced on and grayed out. Has anyone found a fix yet?
hmmm which CSC and which version are you guys on? my s10+ doesnt have that ridiculous icon when plugged in and 100% full. looks like a CSC feature and if so it could be switched off (with root - by modifying CSC xml file) or you just flash another CSC as long as it doesnt effect your baseband
Update: Did a quick check but i couldnt find "Battery full" category in Notifications -> SystemUI. Only "Low battery". Probably something based off CSC?
s3, s5, note5, s8+ all had the notification lights for messages, missed calls, batt charging/full + any other notifications desired.
lack of notification the notification light/s on s10+, with infinity o display is my only gripe with the phone.
