Hi all z3c user,
I have a question about the icon on the notification bar. I have installed a newspaper app, if there are some news to alert me, it will pop up an icon and have a notification message in the notification panel.
If there are a first alert but I still not clear it, then if the second alert received, the icon in notification bar has only one, and the notification panel will have two messages until I clear it, then they will gone.
The problem is, the same app, installed other than SONY device, e.g. LG/Samsung, they will have one icon for one message, that means they will have 2 same icon when they received two alerts, but I found that SONY ROM will group the icon into one, so that I need to pull down the notification panel to see how many alert received.
Anyone know how to "ungroup" the icon? Thanks.
By the way, not only this app, some football score apps have the same problem.
no one have idea?
It's a SystemUI thing, meaning it's hardcoded. Sony made it this way, other vendors are doing it the other way. Some custom ROMs have the ability to toggle this behaviour, but on stock there's nothing to do. IMHO, grouping is better because it doesn't waste so much space on the notification bar for same types of notifications. If I get 1 email, I really don't mind knowing there's actually 5 at the first glance, but I'll see that immediately when I pull down the notification bar anyway.

Thanks for your reply. But do you know is it able to change some settings or parameters in systemui.apk?

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

Hiya
is there a way to remove / stop my sms/mms been previewed on the status bar at the top of the screen
its a bit of a privacy nightmare having 1/2 a message shown
esp as 1/2 a message can be taken out of context
ive been searching but there are so many ways to describe what i want to happen im getting no where
any pointers would be awesome
regards D
You'd have to disable the notification all together.
Or switch to another sms app.
You might be able to disable the notifications and use Missed Call to still allow led's and notification sounds when you get a new sms.
Just a thought, havn't tried this myself.

Try the app Missed Call.
It might let you get the led's back so that you'll know when you get a sms.
Good luck with this.
if i could program id take a look at the code for the app and remove the line or two that does the displaying lol but i fail at even bash
aww i had hopes then but i will try other missed call apps and maybe a new sms app if i can find a good one
download dgalert from the market. you can customize a lot and it replaces the default notification but trust me its better. give it a try..theres an option for privacy that doesnt show the text
chompSMS is one of the best apps i can think of. great interface, tons of notification settings like choosing what color icon you want, led color, showing the message in the status bar, etc

Dgalert did the trick for me
Every time I get a notification, I click on it in the notification bar and it takes me to the app (messages or Gmail or whatever). I can read the message, delete the email, etc.. but when I drag down notifications the notification is still there... They used to no longer show the notification after interacting.
Why are they not clearing once clicked? Very annoying. I don't think was happening when I first installed Lollipop, but maybe. Anyone else have this or know why it may be doing this? I have to go back and manually clear them after interacting.
Honestly.. I have to say it, I think Google went backwards by putting these intrusive notifications that pop up. "Heads-up"
Firstly, it destroys any sense of privacy, everybody in the near vicinity can read notifications that pop up.
Secondly, it's simply more intrusive to the interface than the messages that used to conveniently scroll in the status bar. Even when they introduced immersive mode (full screen).. The status bar could still popup and display messages, less intrusively than these ugly white/gray pop up boxes.
I think they should have an option/toggle to turn off/on "pop up" notifications.
I much prefer the previous notification system from pre-5.0
The scrolling ticker in the notification bar was discreet, descriptive, aesthetic and less intrusive.
Any way to turn these ugly pop ups off??
Edit:
Thankfully lots of ppl agree with me:

** please star this issue if you agree that we need an option/toggle to disable heads up**

This kind of thing starts to become an issue as some people like it (myself) and other people do not. I had been BEGGING for heads up notifications from gingerbread on... I hope Google never goes back, personally. I love them because you get a preview of the content and then you just swipe it away and keep doing what you're doing. With the text that used to scroll by for messages in the old system sometimes I would miss part of the message and have to go into the app to read it all.
What I do agree with is a toggle!
Hi I noticed this strange icon in my notifications area and I'm hoping someone can help me with what it is. I don't want to click it and it compromises my phone.
Isn't that skype icon?
What does it say if you expand notification? Don't tap on it, just expand
It seems to be the Samsung push service notification.
You may have a notification in one of the Samsung services.
Rgds
Or it could by samsung smart switch..?
