When one pulls down yr notifications if there are notifications there is a trash can (bottom left of screen) and if you tap it it removes existing notifications, my ? is this, sometimes the trash can is there and other times not, why does it disappear sometimes?? even when there are notifications...? thanks
The trash icon is for closing apps in the background.
Open a few apps and press your square button will show apps currently open and memory usage, click trash icon to close and free some memory.

Thanks, but mine disappears sometimes so there will be stuff open but the trash icon is not there... Specifically notifications.

Is it possible to:
1. Place direct dial contact shortcuts on the homescreen that have a picture or an icon? I lost myfavs with the cyan rom (and its worth it) but adding contact shortcuts just get me the rolodex icon for each contact and Id like to have a picture icon for each.
2. Put a notifications shortcut on the homescreen? I hate having to hit the menu button and then hit the notifications shortcut. Id like to have it right on my screen.

Better Cut will do it for you.
why would you want a notification short cut? all you do is drag the top of the phone down and the notification window comes down. no need to press menu or anything like that

While I didnt know this (thanks!) what I was referring too was the ability to look at my home screen and see a notification for missed call, or new email, etc. That way if i see I missed a call I can touch that icon instead of going through the notifications menu.
Every so often is my phone is busy, I manage to crash the notification bar so that it disappears from the screen. Even when I open other apps on my. This got me thinking. Is there a way I can hide the notification bar so that it's even hidden in apps and not just the home screen or other apps that don't have the option to hide it?

Hey guys so i haven't had any real issues with my notifications except that after i get a notification and click it (or pull the screen down to show notifications/toolbar and click the notification) it'll launch whichever application fine but after opening/reading the notification it doesn't automatically disappear from the top display tray. I have to drag it down again, it'll show no new notification and then the icon will go away. Is there anyway to fix this?
My notification dots are frozen, it tells me I have a notification for Facebook, Twitch and when I open the app they don't seem to clear, I shouldn't even be getting notifications because they're dismissed through the drop down when I get them. Happened in the last few hours. Anyone else having the same issue?
I haven't experienced your problem. I'm assuming by notification dots you mean App Badges that show the unread/unresponded to count. These typically go away when you tap the icon in the notification panel to view the event or swipe the notification away in the notification panel. If you're doing one or both of these actions and the count remains try disabling the App Badges for the affected apps and then enabling them again.
Settings>Apps>locate the affected apps>Notifications>App Badges, toggle it off, then back out and then go back in and toggle it on if you still wish to view them.
In another instance where I saw something like this happening the user also tried clearing the cache and app data, but didn't achieve success until they uninstalled the app and installed it again. That wouldn't work for Facebook however because it is a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be uninstalled but it can be disabled. That could be enough if the above method doesn't work for you.
The brief notification is where you get a small pop up at the top of your screen. How the hell do you disable this globally? Some apps like WhatsApp you can do from within the actual app's settings. Others you can turn off priority notifications.. But some apps don't have any valid setting. How can I disable this for all apps. Its such a useless feature for me. I just want the regular icon in the status bar and nothing popping up
they used to be called heads up notifications I think and yes I'd welcome a solution for this too.
I currently run my phone in 'do not disturb' mode 24/7 because I despise their intrusions.
