Software Questions - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hoping people can answer as this phone comes out in the coming weeks.
I remember the M9 not having a few common Android features and am wondering if the 10 has these:
- Lockscreen: when a text message is received, are you able to swipe up on it to reply?
- When receiving a text while in an app, can you reply by swiping down? Or in an overlay (instead of having to open the app to reply)
- Does the screen turn on when receiving a notification?
Thanks

I don't allow text messages on the lockscreen, so I can't answer your first two questions. The answer to your third question is "no."

how to fix problem when swipe up notification bar??
When I pull down the notification bar it seems working properly (two-face procedure) but when I swipe up to make it disappear, it comes down again. More specifically, the first time I swipe up it goes up to the point it should be, but on the second scroll it appears again, like when I pull it down. So, I am able to see again the entire panel. To remove it I have to do the whole process very slowly and it is really annoying.

Has anyone a solution to disable email notifications that works?

I have tried the solutions that came up here on a search but none of them work. How ******g hard can it be to stop notifications popping up every 5 ******g minutes??????
I am using Microsoft's own piece of ***t software and, for reasons I won't go into now, I am going to continue using it so solutions, and not recommendations to use other programs, would be extremely well received.
Many thanks
Have you tried Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications and ticking/unticking the desired options for messages?

I have the same problem. I'd love to hear from someone who has actually solved this problem.
Sorry all, but I am confused.
I dont have the popup.
Start - Settings - Sound and Notifications - Notifications Tab, Messaging: New Email message.
Took the ticks out of:
Play Sound
Display Message on screen,
Flash Light
Vibrate
All I get now is a notification on the HTC Home Plugin:
Using toms B&B 4.2, and email through an exchange server.
Hi! I'm using Tom's 4.2 with an Exchange server too. And of course I disabled everything as you suggest. What I get is:
- on HTC home, the count of unread messages.
- an "unread" email icon on the top bar
- a "Notifications" text in the left soft button
- when I click it, a popup appears reminding me I've unread messages, and I have to dismiss it.
All of this is overkill for me. And except the HTC home bit, it's all in the original ROM too, so it's a WM thing, unrelated to Tom's ROM.
What I want is:
- only the unread count in HTC home.
- if it can't be removed, I'd settle for the top bar icon too
- NO notifications about unread email. Save the notifications only for the urgent stuff. I don't want to have to dismiss the popup before I can use my left soft button for other more productive things.
I hope that clears it

[Q] Pull Down SMS Notification Issue

I've been having an issue with this, and it's only started recently. FroYo has been installed for weeks prior to this (unbranded HTC Desire, so no mods or custom ROMS here).
I receive a text. The alert displays in the pull down menu. I pull down the menu, click the notification which then rotates the screen for a half second or so, opens the SMS app (default HTC messaging app), but it opens to the very first message in that thread meaning I have to scroll through around three hundred messages to get to the new one, or close the app, then re-open the messages via my icon which then jumps to the new message.
Quite weird. Any thoughts to help alleviate my head scratching?

[Q]JB messaging problem

So, i have following problem when receiving sms :
If i, for example, have more than 5 messages from same person (long enough so i have to scroll from first to last), when i recieve sms from that person, when i open it via notification bar, it switches to first message, so i have to scroll all the way down to last one.
Everything is stock JB...
p.s. It looks like this is only happening if i open that sms from lockscreen directly (by pulling notif bar and opening it). If i do it with unlocking screen, it switches to that (last) message...
Help

Giz: The version of Jelly Bean that we have right now is a developer preview, right?
MD: Yes, it's a developer preview so it still has a few bugs that we know about, and obviously a few that we don't know about, but when the devices actually begin shipping in a few weeks you'll see a lot of additional polish go in.

No real point in posting bugs for a preview release of software NEVER intended for the end user.

[Q] how to dismiss notifications once for all

hi there folks. so, theres apps like whatsapp and many others that show you a notification of someone who texted you in the drawer, and then you swipe it left or right to dismiss it, but after some minutes the notification shows again. is there anyway to dismiss it and it not come back to the drawer?
[bump]
+1
same here
It is quite a problem with whatsapp only i think, other i use halo to dismiss all at once.
But good question here for dismissing specially whatsapp notification. :good:

Duplicate Text Notifications on Quick Reply

I am having an issue/annoyance with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S9 and I hope you all are able to help. My device is currently setup so that when I get a text I receive the notification in the bar, I am then able to pull the notification bar down to read a portion or all of the text and am given the option to reply (a short message) directly through this feature. When I do this and click the send arrow and very quickly thereafter I receive another notification as if I had gotten a new or different text when in fact, when I slide the notification bar down, it is just just my own sent text being shown to me. Hopefully this makes sense to some of you. It is really annoying to me. I always thought that in the past if you did a quick reply the notifications would auto go-away unless you actually recieve a new/different text message.
Any insight?
Thanks
Bro, it's not an issue, it's actually helpful in a lot of ways.
For example if I had to reply to an important message without being "online" on whatsapp, I can send many messages from just the notification panel, so I can see the whole conversation from there without opening the app. I think it's a very handy feature.
Simply when you reply to a conversation and you don't need to utilize this feature, just swipe the notification to the left/right and you won't see a notification unless you recieve a new message.

So swipe away the notification once you have sent your message, happens here too if I leave the notification there after replying
I don't see the benefit
I don't use WhatsApp, but regardless I don't need my notification light to keep flashing as a result of me replying to a text via quick reply feature. Like I said, it's just an annoyance for me that I don't recall dealing with on any of my galaxy devices and I was merely trying to see if there was a way to toggle this "feature."

Why can't you swipe the notification away? Two people have already told you that will stop it
I CAN, and DO

Yes, I can read and that's what I already do. The whole purpose of the thread was to see if there was an option to toggle this useless feature off. I would have already read and/or replied to the specific text, thus not needing to have to REacknowldge or "swipe" the notice away for a second time...leaving my light flashing until I go to it 2 times.

You should explain in your first post what you have and have not done so people know before replying....
No, no toggle other than disabling notification LED altogether either system wide or for that app
Phone is obviously thinking your reply is a new message, which in a way it is, although already reading it should inform it that you have read it and it is not new, but as it does not, keep swiping and report to Samsung

this might actually be a sprint issue. the app that you use to do your quick replies, do you know what its called? my S9 doesnt have a feature like that on it and its running the may security patch update, so its not on an old firmware and just missing a new feature.
glitchy stuff like what youre experiencing can be often solved with a factory reset

It's not an app, it's literally the notification pulldown which you can reply from, when you receive a message and pull down the notification to read it, under the message is a reply button, press that and it opens a little reply text box on the notification dropdown, when you press send and turn off the screen it flashes the LED to say there is an unread notification which is actually your reply still sitting in the notification dropdown, only way to stop it is to swipe away
Got it here with unbranded G960F S9 in the UK on o2

ok, i just tested that out, and i was able to use the quick reply feature and didnt get a residual notif. rec'd test, went to pulldown, hit the little enter key button which revealed a reply field taht wasnt part of my default text app, typed a reply, sent it, locked screen, no flashing light, no further notif. seems like mine is working like its supposed to
edit: i also verified that the intended recipients got my replies. no notifs for my outbound messages on my device

You don't have Samsung Messages app set as your default messaging app?
Maybe why

good point, i forgot to mention that i have chomp as my default. Maybe that will be the solution for the OP
100%
You have hit the nail on the head! This exactly what I am referring to. No app, just default texting app. Exactly as you described.
SM-G960U on Sprint Network for me.
Most up to date software I believe, at least that's what my device tells me.
