[HowTo] Disable Those Annoying 'Displaying Over Other Apps' Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9 Guides, News, & Discussion

While you're likely loving your new phone, there are a few concerns with any new device. One possible issue is the new persistent Android System notifications on the Galaxy S9.
If you're coming from an older Android phone, you probably noticed the new Android System notifications in the notification shade on your new Galaxy S9. This is a new feature with Android Oreo, helping make users aware of any background apps consuming battery or taking up system resources. Unfortunately, if these notifications pile up, they can annoy some users. If you're already aware that certain apps are displaying on top of others, you can turn off this notification easily.
Disabling the 'Displaying Over Other Apps' Notification
After swiping down the notification shade, swipe right on the the "Displaying Over Other Apps" Notification. This will reveal a Settings cog which you can tap to access the notification settings for Android System.
Tapping on the cog brings you to the detailed notification settings. From here, you will scroll down and find the setting for your particular app that is displayed over others in the list of system notifications. In this example, the app in question is NavBar Apps. Turn this notification off and you're all set!
It is worth noting that there are a number of Android System notifications that cannot be disabled, such as Wi-Fi status, Account Status and missing SIM card alerts. These offer critical user information that you should be aware of. Still, you can tap on the corresponding notification type and switch it to low priority so there are no interruptions with your work flow.
With this ugly Android System notification gone, your notification shade should look much less cluttered.

Power notifications crashing the system

Hello, this is my first post here, so if I miss something please let me now.
I bought Huawei P10 recently, and there is a notifications problem I identified almost instatly, but so far found no solution.
Although setting banner notifications on for all the aplications, I receive them from a handful of apps only, and in case of the others there is only the app icon in the dock.
I identified that for aplications that have automatically set nofication importance to at least high, this is level 4 of 5, (like BBC News, for instance) the banners do appear. However, every change of the importance level crashes the system. Please refer to the pic:

and the text it comes from:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-system-ui-tuner-to-modify-the-status-bar-in-emui-4/
So, given all this, is there any possiblity to solve the crash problem? I really do miss the banner notifications.

All settings are set to receive push notifications.. any one have an idea as to why this is happening??

Whatsapp group notifications (new?) style

Hi all,
recently bought an xz2 and can't stand how Whatsapp notifies group messages:
it shows the icon of user's profile instead of the group's, and user's name is bold;
the name of the group itself is found much smaller at the top of the notification.
I fear that's something related to newer versions of Android like Pie or even Oreo,
apologize if it's been this way all along, I've been using a stock z3c for years.
Googling or exploring system/whatsapp settings was unsuccessful for me,
I hoped you guys could give me some info about this.
I'll try posting a screenshot to clarify as soon as possible.
Thanks for the patience
Edit: baobab is group name and blacked stuff is user related

Galaxy S10 Plus Snapdragon One UI 2.5 120hz refresh removed???

Can anyone on here confirm that after the One UI 2.5 September update that the 120hz refresh rate option is no longer available? Using Activity launcher we were able to change it but now, regardless of the screen resolution setting, the 120hz option is grayed out for me. Anyone else?
No need to double post:
