[Q] Take "Ongoing" off of notification bar - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I am trying to get rid of the "Ongoing" in my notification bar. It just showed up one day. There is a battery with the percent on the left side on the status bar, too. Any idea on what to do to get rid of this?

That's from your carrier only way to get rid of it is to root your phone and custom rom.....but some custom roms has that as well but most of them don't

That doesn't make any since, because my wife's SGS3 doesn't have it on her phone.
Thank you for the info. I will look into it

I don't think it has anything to do with rooting your phone. It just means that you have ongoing notifications. And you can't clear these like you can the one time normal notifications because they are still active i.e., ongoing. Once you close those tasks, like turning off the wifi calling and whatever the other item is, the ongoing notitications will clear themselves automatically. I don't know how to keep it from showing these ongoing notifications when they are active. Probably a feature of the app itself. Unless the app itself gives you that option under its settings.

It's a setting in the app.

That makes sense, but what app?

The app that is shown.... click on the ongoing notification the app should open then hit menu and look at the notification settings. You may have to reboot after you then it off. WiFi calling can't be hidden.

Ok. I found the app. I went through all my apps I downloaded after it happened and it was a new feature for Widgetsoid.
Thanks for the help all

Icon in notification bar won't go away.

Yesterday, this icon showed up in my notification bar, and i can't get rid of it. I'm running the stock ROM in my Telus SGS3. Haven't installed any new apps lately, and i don't have any notifications.
Any idea what it is, or how to get rid of it?
I rebooted already, and it's still there. Also tried a battery pull with no luck.
Thanks in advance!

It means that you have notifications turned off. In the toggle menu in the notification drawer, there should be a toggle to turn it back.

Bingo! Thanks for the speedy reply!

What is this icon?

Hey guys this icon keeps coming up in my notification bar. I have no idea what it is and the only way to make it go away is by restarting the phone. Nothing comes up in the actual notification tray. Help please!
Its the icon to the left of the "ATT" text

You turned off notifications.
That is the 'no notifications' notification.
I have also seen it when you ahve too many notifications on the notification bar..
I didn't turn off notifications. I was just watching a show on my phone then added a new widget, and the icon came up. How do I re-enable the notifications?
Im still getting notifications when I get a text, so I don't really know why it is saying that they are turned off. I have no other notifications showing
Pull down your menu bar, and hit the Notifications toggle.
Also, the icon for too many notifications does not have the line through it.
Line - notifications off
No line - too many notifications to fit in the menu bar

Im sorry man what notification toggle? In the quick access toggles I have Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, Sound, Screen Rotation, Mobile Data, Power Saving, Airplane Mode, and Sync.
Then it just says the date and that Wifi is connected. And when I pull down the notification bar the icon disappears.

Are you scrolling the toggles/left right? I'm not running stock so I cant remember exactly what it looks like and where it is.

On stock there is usually a toggle called 'Notification', so I'm not sure why you don't have it, unless you're running a custom ROM you haven't mentioned or your carrier modified this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt3vQTOI0eE

Weird. I dont have that. Just like the first comment with the guy from TMobile. I guess AT&T removed it? Odd though that I am still getting notifications. Ill just have to reboot I guess.

[Q] Remove Battery Saver Notification?

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the battery saver notification? I paid for the upgraded version of Tweaks Box, hoping that would help, but noticed afterwards that it said "hide all but the one that says it's enabled".
I'd like to leave it on all the time, to turn on once it hits 30%, but that persistent notification drives me crazy. Is there an option I'm missing in TweaksBox or another Xposed module/hack to get rid of that enabled notification?
Oh my goodness - that drives me crazy, just because I want battery saver for below 30% doesn't mean I need a constant reminder when I'm well charged! Yep, there's a notification status option in the Gravity Box exposed module somewhere (forget exact location in GB)... I removed it that way, you have to tinker a bit.
This is driving me nuts. Any way to get this notification gone?

I believe the post directly above yours answered your question
G3 TweaksBox has settings for this.
Hide the Battery Saver notification
- Hide all Battery Saver notifications but the one that says it is enabled (i.e. when you're actually low on battery).
It takes away both the icon and notification itself.

Gb is running fine on your phone? I thought it was only for Aosp roms..

Worked on my TouchWiz S3, Gionee device, tablet, and more for the most part. A small amount if features especially lock screen size won't work on non AOSP ROMs/devices, but Gravity Box works on pretty much any rooted device with Xposed.

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

thank you I just seek an application like this :good:
Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

thanks, now it works, i had not given the permissions again.
Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

I have had the same problem with Viber and I resolved it by turning off Light screen for messages in Viber settings...
I don't know about Whatsapp, I rarely use it...

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

This is unbeleaveable! It really works now for missed calls with latest update.
If there will be a solution for WA too, then it is a perfect app for me.

Sent the dev a message. With he solves that, I will probably buy pro version. It's the only thing that keep me away
I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.

Is it possible to receive Viber notification on this updated Always-on-display?

How can I turn off notifications in the Messaging app?

Hi all,
I've been using Lineage OS 17.1 on my Galaxy Note 4 for a couple of weeks, and it's working almost perfectly, like having a new phone. The one thing I don't seem to be able to do is mute SMS notifications. In the Messaging app, under Settings, there is a button saying "Show notifications", but it's greyed out and I can't slide it off. Can anyone tell me how to enable this switch?
(I note that even when I set the phone to Total Silence, SMS notifications still come up on the lock screen, which I really don't want - I get way too many texts and I don't want them cluttering up the notifications area.)
Thanks

Thanks, that's an interesting idea. I'm curious to know why the default app has a slider though - it seems like someone designed it to be an option, so presumably there is a way to slide it off. Anyone know?

The default aosp apps have not really been updated for many years now. In the meantime much has changed in permission and notification handling of android.
