Newbie Notifications Question - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got my Verizon Note 4 the other day and there is one thing driving me crazy. I've turned off every notification known to man in the Facebook app and I still get that little red number on the app on my home screen. Any ideas what might be going on?

In settings go to motions and unchecked quick glance. That's what's giving you the summary... The eye is smart stay. If it sees you looking at the screen it will not shut the screen off...

No sms or notification light for sms in standby.

OK so recently I have noticed that if I get text messages while the phone has been in standby for a few hours or more that I do not get text notifications or the actual text message. If I wake the phone and mess around for a little, BAM! Blue notification light comes on and shows new message. So lets say I wake the phone at 3 in the morning and what I just explained happens, even though I just got the message at 3 it shows the actual message was lets say 9 pm. Have no idea whats going on. Im fully stock and not rooted. Also not running any third party sms apps. Only thing I have done or changed is that I have been using Zedge to change my sms notification sounds/alerts.
Any help would be great. I wanted to take my phone from where I got it in case there is something wrong with the phone but noticed since I got it from a dealer and not Corporate it seems I only had 14 days to return/exchange and im at the 19 days mark so don't see them helping me.
Thanks. Also I did google search and xda but only found things somewhat similar and not actually my problem.
Fist off if this is a software problem then the 14 days rule doesn't count and you'll get a new/refurbished to replace it if they can't fix it.
But it sounds to me like a network issue, who are you with and what is your service like?

Thanks for responding LittleRedDot. Im with At&t. Service seems to be okay. I have had at least one phone call that didn't go through but seems to be okay. Its just sms when the phone is in standby or at least seems that way. I seem to them just fine if phone is in use.

[SOLVED]Anyone running Jedi X or otherwise having random notification sound play ?

Funny thing is I checked all the notification tones and it doesnt match any of them . I recently rooted and loaded jedi x9 and now xx and I cant remember if it was doing it before that but .
The tone is a 2 bar tone the length of a shorter notification tone consisting of a med range and then a higher range tone in quick succession. Sounding like a synthicizer .
I kept doing it last night about 4 times over 10 mins. I was trying to figure out what the hell it was and it did it again while I was looking at the phone and when the tone sounded there were no visual indications of what it pertained to . No text , incoming calls , voicemail. No voicemail sync or anything. Nothing showed up on the notification bar tray.
I ended up shutting my volume off due to it kept happening and again this tone doesnt match any of the notification tones in the jedi X rom.
Anyone else know what this is ?
So this is just my device doing this? Straaannnnge.

thats the weird thing. Seeing as I was looking at the phone when it happened on one occasion I was able to see no change at all no pop ups alerts or anything the visual state of the phone didnt change at all
happened again 4-5 times between 4-5 am and the note almost got smashed. I almost broke this thing. Woke me up beep BEEP beeep BEEP . same synthicizer sound. No notifications no visual reference to any changes made , no pop ups NOTHING just the beeping.
This is going to cause me to sell the phone if I dont figure out what it is
Re: Anyone running Jedi X or otherwise having random uhm notification sound play ?
Nandroid and reset it. Or flash a new rom and see if it does it. No reason to sell the phone.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
So it was going nuts again same crap. So I googled samsung galaxy note 2 mysterious notification and 1 result had a similar problem and it just happened to be a member from here over on the SGNII sprint forum .
The mystery notification is yahoo mail. It uses its own propriatary notification tone which is why it wasnt listed on the device notification list. And also by default it is not checked to show up on the notification tray which is why there is no associated visual notification.
Im so happy today was the last day I will be woke up at 4am
If you run into this problem. open app drawer / nav to yahoo mail app / open / touch 3 horizontal lines menu button top left / scroll down to settings / open / touch account settings / touch notification settings / choose sound then select no sound then hit done button lower right. and your done
Nice

Random vibrates with no notifications?

So I just started noticing this happening and I'll just have my one sitting on my desk and it will quickly vibrate twice with no kind of notification after I unlock. It doesn't happen a lot just every once and a while. Any ideas?
I get the same thing. I think you're having the same issue I'm having, and you are getting a lot of random hot battery warnings. That causes a notification, but disappears quickly, so you may not see it by the time you unlock the phone...
you guys using an .apk like betterbattery stats to hopefully solve this?

My battery hasn't been getting hot at all though so I don't know why I would be getting a hot battery warning.

mine wouldn't be hot it would go off like a normal notification, but nothing there. doesn't happen alot so really not bothering me. :good:
rooted?
stock?
ROM?
I am stock unrooted. I get the same thing, but my notification sounds off and vibrates. No kind of notification though. The only thing I have been able to link it too is that a few minutes later I would get an MMS group message. I imagine it is receiving that a message has been sent, but then has to download the content.

I'm in the same boat and I think you might be right, at least one of the times I got the notification and then probably 10 seconds later got a new email.

sounds to me like HTC found a way into the future an their new innovation is making the phone sound before the notification comes in!
sorry, too early in the morning, need coffee.
anyway, this is a really strange thing
you'd think it would sound AFTER the notification if anything

my battery isn hot to the touch either. I just get random warnings. pretty annoying
So I called support at htc and the guy said to try a soft reset or try booting in safemode and see if it might not be a 3rd party app. causing it. I don't know if any of you have tried either of these, I'm currently trying out the soft reset and see if that fixes it.

I don't receive any battery warnings, my Exchange account will vibrate twice when I receive a new message.
Mine was doing the same thing every few seconds until about 20 min ago, ( it's also been giving me a hard time connecting to charge) so I thought of the old school Nintendo! I blew in it, didn't work but it did reveal a big piece of dust that was in there, used a piece of pointy plastic to get it out, only 23min so far but no jiggeling hope I fixed it!!

[Q] Screen Wake?

Hi everyone.
New to this group.
Just got the Note 4 a few days ago. Wondering if anyone knows if it has the capability for screen to wake up on text message??
I have my phone on my desk at work, but have to have it on silent. Would like the screen to turn on if I get a text but can't figure out how to do this....
Thanks!

You'll need a third party application like textra or chomp.

Actually other variants do this out of the box (and it cannot be turned off) I'm thinking its a setting somewhere hopefully in the sms apk. I'll root around and see if I can find anything (doubtful) but if other carriers can do it we should be able to get it to our own devices.
