Hi
I'm new to Android, coming from an iPhone4 to LG2. The worst point in this change until now is by far how Android handels the notifications.
On my iPhone I had a perfect lockscreen with every new Message. On Android, it puts every **** in the Dropdownmenue but doesn't show me on the lockscreen. I'm missing the most of all pushmessages, also for incoming mails... What am I doing wrong - or is this realy all? I tried Nils Notifications, but hey, not to compare with iOS! Any suggestions?
Cheers
Install Dashclock and you are done.
The Android lock screen is much more powerful than iPhone's lock screen. Since version 4.2 (which the G2 has) you can add lock screen widgets that display whatever information you need, even live information.
But I am asking you, how could you live with the iPhone not actively notifying you if you missed a message ? If you missed the initial notification, screen goes blank and you are not notified until you push the home button...yuck

Get "notify me" from xda or an iPhone. Or a ̶l̶̶i̶̶v̶̶e̶ life.
First of all, you have to understand that if you're going to change platforms, things are going to be different. The good news is that now that you're FREE, you can find ways to make your phone do whatever you want. But it is going to require searching and effort on your part. Good luck and ENJOY!
It is good to know you have seen the light and moved from the dark side.
What's iPhone?
Guys, I am looking for any suggestions you guys use for the best method to be notified of text and missed calls and such. It was always pretty good with the old iphone in such see the message swipe and then reply. I now really like the new little pop up that comes with the stock messaging app. But the popup is gone in about 2 seconds. Also do we not have any method to have notifications show on the lock screen. Just do not like at all to have to look in the notification center for this stuff. I do use Handcent texting mostly just for the pop up. But still not popup for a missed call. At least the S4 has a notification on the lock screen. I usually finally find a good set up but was wondering what most of you guys do. Thanks
You can try dashclock from play store. It's a widget that you can put on the lockscreen and it has a lot of extensions allowing you to see between others: clock, date, calendars, weather, alarm, gmail, whatsapp, sms, missed calls etc, battery info, etc...

Years ago I used Handcent solely because I could set recurring notifications. I've since gotten so attached to the little green droid that we now communicate via telepathy...or so it seems...
Why not rely on the notification light? I use Light Flow which not only lets you customize color but also duration and flash rate. So for me emails get a normal flash and turn off after 15 minutes. But a missed call is more important so I have it flashing red very fast and for a long time - like an hour so I'm sure not to miss it.
But this only works when screen is off of course.
I use Dynamic Notifications and Light Flow. The combo really works well for me and I like that I can schedule a sleep time so it doesn't light up the screen or the notification lights when I'm sleeping. DN will keep showing the notification at set intervals until I enter the app or clear it. Very simple, efficient, and customizable. LF is used mainly because the stock light settings did not have enough customizing ability.

Get Nils along with Nils+. This will give you very iPhone-ish lockscreen notifications. You can swipe them away to dismiss or slide the icon to launch the app. Nils is the main program and includes a widget (old method), and Nils+ will overlay the lockscreen with the notifications (new method, doesn't need a widget).
I personally use Nils beta from Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/115156552435983276604?partnerid=gplp0
Use the links on the right side to Enable Tester for Nils and Nils+. Then you can download them. Nils is on the play store (no tester required), but you must be a Nils+ tester to use Nils+.
I really like the convience of getting a notification, not missing it and being able to reply quickly. As much so many other things the android system does betteras compared to IOS, This is were I struggle to get it better. The LED is great. Helps not miss anything. I have used Lightflow on and off a lot over the last year with a GS3. SO MANY mixed results. lights would work for some apss then not others and then getting the notification LED to cancel when message was cleared has always been a pain. Maybe need to give Lightflow a try on the G2. I'll check out Nils+ and Dynamic Notifications. For now I'm using Handcent which is working ok but I actually like the stock messanger. Thanks again!!!
if you don't mind paying, look up glowfly. it's a pop-up app for texting that works pretty well. I've been using it for about a year. I loved the stock g2 sms pop-up bc it didn't interrupt what you were doing, like if you're watching a video it kept playing... any other popup app, including glowfly, pause the video. but whatever. works better.

Since installing "OptimizedCM-12.1-20150725-jflte":
https://romhut.com/versions/optimizedcm-12-1-20150725-jflte
Whenever I get a Voicemail notification my Galaxy S4 gives a notification audio/noise every few minutes until I clear the notification.
I don't always want to clear it it's useful to see the notification to remind me to come back to the voicemail message later.
Any ideas? Thanks
Maybe it's some sort of reminder option from the settings somewhere.
Hi,
I've had a really good look. I can't find anything. Any idea?
Unless it's a CM12 bug, I can't think of anything else.
When I have a default notification sound set in my S8, I get a ton of notification sounds, but nothing in the notification bar. It's extremely annoying. I turned off all the app notifications I could, but it didn't help.
I also tried Do Not Disturb with custom exceptions so I would only get notifications for the apps I want, but they are still silent.
Is there a third party app that will mimic what Samsung's DND is supposed to be doing or a way to shut off the phantom notifications?
I'm really starting to hate this phone. For several reasons.

Hello,
I have not had the same issue as you but I've definitely had problems with things syncing on time or out of order. I'm sure you already have, but be sure to dig deep into phone notification settings but individual app settings as well to see if anything is off. If you run the internal app closer, does the issue still occur? Worst case scenario, you could factory reset your phone and see if that corrects the issue.
As the title indicated I just got the essential phone and immediately it grabbed the OTA to Android P. The only think that is driving me crazy is that any notification that I get during a call plays an audible tone. It is low tone and is the same throughout all the notifications.
