Is there any way to speed up the notification popup? I keep hitting the statusbar with my thumb (aiming for the spacebar when typing, and I've even turned off the softkeys notification popup button) and it takes most of a second to scroll up so I can send it away. I've turned off all the animations in Spare Parts and CyanogenMod settings.
I've tried putting the statusbar on top, I don't like it, but I may have to get used to it just to avoid this.
Alternatively, is there any way to make the notifications popup not fullscreen? It would go faster if it didn't have to scroll up the whole screen.
Thanks!
My app is a kiosk mode app that already has the home button and the recent apps disabled. The notification shade is also disabled... to a point. So I want to know how I can make it like how Chrome disables the notification shade when a full screen video is playing, or if that's not accessible to developers. Basically is there code that will disable the notification shade completely?
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.
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.
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.
