Notification at boot or restart - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Just setting up an S10+ and have a notification at boot (from off or restart)
Icon on the lock screen looks like a P and nothing shows up in the notification history. So I have no idea what it's for.

I noticed this to, if I remember correctly it was just a notification to say phone restarted.
you could also download Nice Catch from galaxy store. I do find it odd though regardless.
Using Nice Catch, in pic below you will see logo with 'P' saying system UI, possibly to do with that as well. as looks very similar.

It's been discussed here. When you unlock your phone it will state "Android is starting"
I think I was able to make this go away by going into
Settings -> Biometrics and security -> Other security settings
And disabling "Strong protection"
On the other hand, it is normal and expected. Just don't have what happened to me happen to you. I had my phone set to automatically restart at 1AM on Wednesday's. Typically that's fine but I use a 3rd party app for my alarm clock. Needless to say it never went off because my phone never fully "started". Lucky I still woke up on time and disabled my phone automatically restarting.

I think it might be P for pin not phone
I use dual SIM and I have to use a work profile as a condition of using my own phone , the profile forces a pin lock

If I remember well on Oreo it was "O".
Now on Pie it is "P".

Thanks, just set up my S10 and this was annoying the crap out of me.

Well I am late here, but it's a P for Pie as in Android Pie. Not sure why it pops up on screen after a reboot though. It does it on both my S10 and S10+

Yeah, there were quite a few bugs with 1.2.8. I had to send a full bug report to Motorola, as did others.
Some issues included:
Notifications not working with certain apps
AN failing to wake the screen when device was moved
AN failing to wake the screen when a notification arrived
AN failing to open an app from the AN screen
Active display STILL doesn't show any notifications for me.

I turned off active display because any movement and it would turn on the clock and catch my eye which is very distracting and annoying, anyway to disable that without disabling the whole feature?
Mine was working perfect, did a factory reset to try and fix the high android OS usage and now it's not working. This is very annoying.

If you go into the Apps side of the Activity Display you should be able to un-check the Clock and it won't show it anymore.

I did that. Then remembered I took the Navigation buttons out via the Build.prop and had a hell of a time trying to reinstall everything without them. :laugh: I use LMT Pie Controls so I had to reinstall them through the Play Store before I could reinstall all my other apps. I then took LMT Pie Controls and made them flashable so that the next time I do a factory reset I can just reinstall them via recovery.
What irks me most is that half my notifications aren't working a week after buying the phone. When they worked the day I got it. Gmail doesn't show up, 1Weather doesn't show up, the battery no longer shows up. Outlook does and Messaging does. I know Motorola said there was a problem with 1Weather not working properly but the day I set my phone up a little over a week ago it worked. Now all of a sudden it doesn't, and Gmail should work but doesn't.
Also, does the image verification thing for the forum ever go away? It's kind of a PITA to remember it's there when I post. Guys, I'm not a robot. Seriously.
I turned off the sleep function of active display and now my notifications are working. I haven't tried turning it back on to see if it would work but just something to try for those who are having an issue.

Did you reboot the phone after updating? It's a highly integrated system function. It should require a reboot after updating. I noticed it acted the same as 1.2.8 until I restarted the phone.

Turn the phone face down or cover the proximity sensor face-up.
Just a suggestion. When some apps get updated like line app and some other apps, they get unchecked in that active notification select apps menu/setting. I have to go back and manually check them again to show up on active display.

Post your Lollipop 5.01 bugs here

Seems we should have a thread with bugs and if anyone knows how to fix them, solutions since we finally have Lollipop now.
First bug I've encountered is in Google Voice.
If you open the advanced settings, two of the options are grayed out that should be available... they allow google voice to hear you if you have an app open, or the screen turned off, and also to allow you to train it.
If you reboot your phone, you WILL have access to these settings for a short period of time before it dies again. just retain it then.
Voice search works if you have a homescreen open, or if you have google search open, but the additional functionality is busted.
I also searched, and it looks like Sprint users ran into the same thing when they got lollipop a month ago.
Where the hell is the samsung app store? Kind die for Samsung keeps crashing too! Wtf?
Its called either galaxy gifts, or galaxy apps.
I'd just clear the cache on it though instead of turning it off.. they offer some apps with exclusive add ons, and some freebies you might want.
Also, I remembered something mentioned a few days ago.. go into application settings and turn off dm-ignite.
(Its a browsing snoop app that collects your data, and send it to Verizon so they can share it with marketing partners so they can serve you advertisements in browsers and applications.)

Go to Widgets and add the Galaxy widget to get to the Samsung store.
Not a bug, but it seems like one... this game is impossible! Has anyone had any luck with it? (Settings - About Phone - 5 taps on android version to get the lollipop logo, then swipe to get the game)

When using the power button to lock the device, there is an ever slight delay. The screen goes black but I can still accidentally open an app when setting it down. I did the OTA without factory reset and then ended up doing a factory reset. Still there. It reminds me of what used to happen on some roms back in the SGIII days. It's not a deal breaker and if that's the biggest issue, I can live with it.
Major problems with graphics inside of games. Marvel contest of champions looks like [email protected]#t now. Everything is dark and dull. Have been unable to find any fix for it

Fyi, when on home if you click the all apps icon, and when browsing all your installed apps hit the menu ellipsis, galaxy apps is an option in that menu. Just lucked out when I found d it.

Last night at 3am, got awoken to my phone vibrating for a notification even though do not disturb mode was on. Even had Llama put the phone to silent, still happened.

In the stock touchwiz launcher with the app drawer open, hit the top right button (menu) and at the bottom is "Galaxy Essentials"

Now that is odd. I have not seen that option since I had my Galaxy S5. Thought it was a Note thing. To confirm, it is not there and was never there on my Note 4. Wonder if it's because I purchased from Samsung rather than Verizon. Seems Samsung would include their own Essentials app though. All Verizon apps were present.
S health pedometer doesn't show on lock screen if lock screen notifications are enabled. And also with wifi on the mobile data arrows don't disappear and I'm still seeing some upload traffic on 4g while using wifi.

Do you have weather bug that displays the current temperature in the notification bar? That seems to count as a notification so as long as that's on no pedometer.

No I keep my notification bar clear on the left. I think there is a way to set the priority level of weather bug notifications that will keep them off the lock screen. Seems I did it for play store on my S5 as I hated the lock screen notifications for app updates. I just can't remember how I did it.

Changing priority either blocks the notifications on the bar all together, allows them, or leaves them saying "sensitive information blocked". I don't think there is anyway around it.
My Note 4 seemed very slow at first after the update, so I entered the recovery menu and cleaned the cache partition, and that seems to have fixed it.
Swappiness == 130?
I installed on 4/3. BOAF. I didn't factory reset, I did clear the system cache (several times). Pretty much everything seems great! For a while- except, it is burning the hell out of my battery/CPU (which 4.4.4 never did) and I notice (via OS Monitor) that kswapd0 is running A LOT. Even when I am showing 450mb free, kswapd0 is using 6-10%. Often it goes up to 23% and my battery lasts 1/2 what it did before. I've rebooted a number of times, no change.
So, I started looking into kswapd0 and one parameter that is important is 'swappiness'.
I checked : cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
And it says : 130
Yes, 130! That's pretty insane - the standard default is usually around 60 (and could stand to be even less, frankly on a 3gb device like this). But anyhow, 130 is causing major issues!
Has anyone been able to get the advanced calling to work? I activated it but the option to video call is grayed out? Any ideas?

Mobile data turned off notification removal

If you toggle data on and then off, a notification appears saying
"You will no longer be able to use applications such as Internet, Email, or other apps that require a network connection, unless you connect to wifi etc."
The message however remains there even with Wifi on.
There is no option to clear the notification and then an Icon appears in the top left hand corner reminding you of the fact.
That top left corner of the screen is usually used for many other temporary notifications which can now no longer be displayed.
If the phone is started with data off then everything works as it did with Android 6 until data is toggled again.
Anyone know how to get rid of this notification?
I actually have found this to be a nice change, as toggling on data after turning it off, is much easier now. That being said, a normal toggle like wifi or bluetooth has, would be much preferred. Dont know how to get rid of the notification, other than restarting the phone with data off (like you said).

I miss this data on/off toggle feature from the quick menu that I had on my LG G3 and other earlier Android phones.
I now use the usage manager widget on my home page or edge menu to toggle data on and off.
I have reached out to my contacts at AT&T to try and find out why they did this and if they intend to make this notification selectable like almost every other one is.
Hasn't ATT been doing this for a long time? I had to add the data toggle via root and script edit on my old ATT note 3 I remember.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's not the absence of the quick toggle I am talking about here it's the fact that a notification comes on when you turn data off but there's no way to remove the notification once it appears or a setting to stop it from appearing at all.
I have the same issue. It only started after I downloaded and installed the Android 7.0 update late last week.
Did anybody find a solution to this yet? This can be quite frustrating as I just switched from an international s7 edge and that even had a mobile data notification toggle. Thanks in advance!
After you toggle data off, reboot the phone. It goes away for me after a reboot.

Kill the phone app
It's a bit cumbersome but better than rebooting / restarting.
Slide the 'data off' notification right to expose the gear icon
Click gear
Click green 'phone'
Now 'force stop' the phone app
I know it sounds scary but this works (until the next time you enable & disable data).
Yeah I've got the same complaint with my S7, can't slide off or clear the notification after turning data off unless you restart. Let us slide the option off. I want a button I can just click to turn on/off data. "OH WAIT, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND CONVENIENT, WE CAN'T DO THAT!" -Samsung
I hate this notification
Is doing this too harmful for the phone app? I just got a Galaxy S7 that had AT&T as a carrier, but I'm not on the AT&T network. I just tried a hack from XDA that allowed me to get the mobile data toggle but the notification started popping up when i disabled data. It's very annoying but I haven't found any other ways of disabling it. I just want to know if force stopping the phone would be bad for me in the long run. I'm wondering why i upgraded if it was going to be so much trouble.

Getting a reminder keeps screen on indefinitely

Until I select snooze or acknowledge or dismiss. This for sure contributes to draining the battery. Any way to put the reminders on a timed amount then turn off the screen? Help appreciated!

I have similar issue. I get reminder on the lock screen( not using always on display) for a calendar event and it would go away after what ever screen timeout setting is, then it comes right back. It would repeat this forever until calendar event is dismissed.
Is this what you get?

Did you try going to settings then notifications then scroll all the way down to the bottom and select notification reminder and then select off (it is off by default on my phone and I don't have your issue).

Did you setup as new phone or restore from a backup. In my very recent experience restoring from backup causes all sorts of issues. My battery life was not bad but was not anywhere near my wife's S8 (more or less similar usage patterns). I would be on 20% whilst she would still have more than 50% remainig charge. I finally decided to take the plunge and reset the phone and do a fresh install. The result is a battery that lasts twice as long as before.
My 2 cents.
Is it from the Samsung reminder app? You can try do not disturb mode. But before you do that go into Settings -> App -> App manager -> Reminder -> Notifications
Make sure Set as priority is turned off.
Also try changing, from the same menu as above, On lock screen from hide content to do not show notifications, if that applies.
But it may not help too much, looking into the permissions it says "Prevent phone from sleeping" under Other app capabilities...
I know it's a pain but if you set a reminder, it makes sense that the screen will stay on for the fact that it should catch your eye and cause you to look at why it's on, thus reminding you about whatever you needed to do as soon as possible. Would be nice to disable that function for those that do not want this though.

The reminders are from what I have set in or via Google. I understand what you are saying but the AOD could just as easily have the reminder versus the entire screen on (semi-bright I might add) for the entire time until it's acknowledge. As soon as I touch the phone, I'd expect the reminder to pop right back up---every other phone I've had did this including my old Galaxy S4.......was just hoping there was a timer we could set or at least limit the time the screen stays on with the reminder

Do not disturb comes on at wrong time.

Hello all,
On my S8 I have enabled Do not disturb to come on as scheduled. This is set to start at 23:30. However every night it comes on at 22:30. I have tried changing the start time but it is always coming on at 22:30.
It turns off at the correct time.
Has anyone any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks !
I'm having a similar issue. It doesn't turn off when it should
I'm having the same issue too. Mine comes on at seemingly random times at night. I tried to correct it by setting a schedule that works better for me but it comes completely ignores the schedule and does its own thing...
I'm having the same thing with my S7 edge and suspect it could be something to do with stock Android settings from my previous phone (Moto X Play) that have synced / been restored when I transferred my Google account to my S7 edge.
My do not disturb settings on the Moto X Play (Stock android) were to activate at 10pm Sunday - Thursday and 11pm on Friday and Saturday. As Samsung's version of android doesn't allow different settings for different days of the week I have do not disturb set to activate at 10.30pm every day. I have found that my S7 edge is still following the rules I had for my Moto X Play and activating at 10pm on Sun-Thurs and 11pm Friday and Saturday. This also applies to the deactivate settings which are set to different times Sun-Thurs and Friday and Saturday.
Is there a way to access the stock android do not disturb settings on Samsung?
Fixed it
Fixed it,
What I had to do was get Nova Launcher.
Press and hold desktop select to add widget.
Add the Nova Launcher widget - Activities
In the menu that pops up scroll to settings.
In the sub-window scroll to: Automatic rules. The one which is .Settings$ZenModeAutomationSettingsActivitiy
Tap it. This will add a shortcut to the automatic rules.
Click this and you have access to different rules. twschedule is the one set by the Samsung settings.
I had a weeknight one which was affecting me.
This could also be used to set custom ones for different days I think.
Something weird is happening with the time calculations. I used to have my Gear2 Neo track my sleep to Samsung Health, but Samsung Health always reported that I went to sleep and got up 1 hour later than I actually did.
