Hello everyone,
Just made the switch from iphone to Android after having iphones for the last 5 years. After 4 days of familiarizing myself with s4 I love it more and more.
I've disabled many programs to speed up the phone and now I have 2 problems.
1. My phone does not automatically receive emails and does not send me notifications to the bar. I checked the email settings and it says send notifications all my email addresses. I assume I disabled some app that controls notifications.
2. Text messages- when I receive a text message. In the notification bar it just says Text Message. My wife has S3 and hers shows the actual text message in the notification bar.
3 I don't receive notifications about app updates that are available. I believe when I first got the phone, it sent me a notification to the bar stating I have updates to do.
I think I disabled one or more processes that control all those features. I looked through them many times and cant figure out which one it could be.
Thank you,
Max
My advice, I would do a factory reset, that way you go back to stock that puts the rom back to factory settings, and start your procedure again. It would a heck of alot easier to do this as it can down right frustration trying this and that.
Those features you are talking about are enabled by default. Lets start there, if you see it didn't help, we will try something else.
good luck
Go into the message app settings, and make sure the settings are as you want them, if you want to try that first.
Hello,
I recently updated my Note 3 (SM-N9005) to Lollipop with a stock Samsung 5.0 ROM using Odin, and I am struggling with the 'While Locked' notifications.
Basically, despite what option I set, text messages are never shown on the screen or in the S-View display. All it ever says is 'Message Received' and 'Contents hidden'.
I have swapped between 'Hide Sensitive' and 'Show All' just in case something wasn't setting properly, to no avail. I have checked the 'Application Notifications' list and Messages has all options turned off. I have also tried this with Priority set to ON.
It's a shame I can't get this to work for whatever reason, as displaying messages in S-View now appears to be supported without the use of Xposed. It would also be nice to be able to glance at my messages without having to unlock
I'd appreciate any ideas. I tried a Google search, but nothing much came back apart from changing the standard settings in 'Sound & Notifications'.
Hello,
i am using the Galaxy S8 with android 7.0
On the lock-screen i receive messages from apps like gmail when there is a new email.
When i read the new email on another device (like laptop or tablet), the lock-screen notification will not be updated --> the new email-icon still there.
Can i change a setting or something which will update the lock-screen when these notifications are read on another device?
Thx
Anybody?
I have a similar issue, the notifications will clear but with a delay of several minutes. Facebook notifications won't clear at all from the facebook app.
After OREO Beta update I can't disable the annoying WhatsApp popup (showing on top of screen) , somehow the app override my settings config.
I disabled notification on settings - app settings - WhatsApp messages
But after someone send me a message and the annoying popup shows up and the settings went back to default.
Only me??
Same here... Very annoying... Can anyone help?
Tks in advance
do you mean the white head-up notification? if yes:
1) enable usb debugging in dev.settings
2) adb devices
3) to disable all heads-up: adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
4) to enable all heads-up: a db shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
Do I need to root my phone to do this?
Guys, I still haven't solved this... Anyone can help? I had to disable all whatsapp notification... This does not make sense at all... Oreo is bugged as hell!!! Please help!

Can't you add the app to game tuner or game launcher (not sure which one) and disable notifications?
I guess it at least works when whatsapp is open.
The only way to solve this is installing an older whatsapp version (prior to oreo) ... I did it and now is working perfectly...
There is a bug with whatsapp and the notifications channels...
there is no error, and google does not do something without being able to customize its options and more referring to notifications.
To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen).
I hope that is the solution that several users are looking for. Greetings.
Anyway to disable notification bar contents as well or disable notification bar in general and get some sort of icon on the top showing there is something to whatsapp related.. going to be honest my wife sometimes sends me some subjective material and I don't want the world to see.
Notification seeting reverts back
Hi
I followed the steps
"To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen)."
But when the next WhatsApp message come in it reverts to Urgent by itself , even if you turn off notifications completely.
Same for others?:
Same thing here. I've done that countless of times. Instead of Urgent, I set it to low because I don't want any sound, and for sure not that super annoying dropdown notification that appears on screen.
All I want, is a little whatsapp symbol on top letting me know there is a message, or if customized that way, a blinking light when a message comes in. Silent.
But to no avail, it always gets back to "Urgent".
I'll try medium now.
Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same issue, soon as i get a whatsapp message it reverts the notification settings! So frustrating!
EDIT: Okay I found something that works for me. In the Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp, I set the profile to be "High", and it hasn't overwritten my changes yet, no popup anymore.

Couldn't find the same importance level under the WeChat setting mentioned sad, why is that some app like WhatsApp has these setting while others don't
No matter what I do I still get the pop up notifications once I receive a new message
Setting the Importance to 'High' worked for me to stop WhatsApp heads up. I have Samsung Note 8 on Oero 8.0.
Thank you thank you thank you. Been doing my head in since getting my Note 8.
can anyone post the whatsapp version pre oreo that doesn't have the notification bug issue?
Setting the importance to "high" solves part of the problem since it disables pop-ups. But that doesn't solve the vibration/sound problem...
Setting it to "medium" or "low" doesn't work since it will revert back to "high" after the next message I receive.
So there's currently no way to solve this : I either get full notifications from WhatsApp (vibration on each message, including group messages, okay no pop-up but 300 vibrations per day is quite annoying), or I disable all WhatsApp notifications and then I don't get anything... Retarded design
It's seriously bugged as hell... Was super fine in Nougat (using Galaxy S7 edge)
Ok
Hasn't this been solved yet? Why the hell does WhatsApp override the settings in the notification channels after you change them? How can this even be allowed by the OS?
I've been facing the same issue for months. I want my group chats to be set to "low" importance and my private messages to "high", which works perfectly fine with Telegram. But WhatsApp keeps reverting the settings no matter what I do.
Any way to solve this?
Exact same problem here, super annoying.

This. Unbelievable....
I have the S8 Plus and just upgraded to Oreo yesterday. I use the Messages app (white text bubble icon with blue background). I notice that the notification badge (the orange counter) no longer shows up on my shortcut when I have a new message. Also, the preview of the text message that used to appear at the top of my screen no longer works. Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is this just my new reality with Oreo?
Thank for any help!!
Hi
Go into settings and search for "app icon badges" this should help
Trev
I'm also having the problem of no badges showing up on any of my apps since the oreo update. All the notifications are set up to show badges, yet still nothing. I'm still also not getting edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off.
Have you checked under Settings->apps the notificationsettings of the apps you want to notify?
App badge icon
Same issue here. I have made sure the app badge is turned on in notifications, it still doesn't work.
