S8+ bugs/glitches - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

My notification badge counter on apps rarely goes away unless I long press and hit clear badge icon. Also when I pull the notification bar down and select mobile hotspot nothing happens, the only way I can enable it is from settings. Anyone else have this problem and/or know a way to fix it.

Talkback icon keeps turning on Tab 3.0 - 7 inch variant

Anyone else have this problem with the icon in the status bar of the talkback icon showing up in settings saying that it is on?
I check the settings and it is definitely off but the icon remains.
I've restarted the device and reset the icon by turning it on and back off, but eventually the icon finds itself back on randomly.
It's pissing me off.

Same problem here . Usually happens after a restart. Only way I get rid of it is by enabling it and disabling it again (though operating in Talkback mode is a bit of a work and takes a bit of understanding of how to operate...like using using two fingers to swipe the screen and double tap instead of a single tap to select an option. Hence I would not recommend my way of getting rid of the icon, unless you know what you are doing ).
Samsung should really come up with a fix of this annoying bug.
Happen to me as well until I uninstall all apps that use this method to push notifications.
I.e. go launcher notification plugin

[Q] Notification light issues - can't tell what the notification is

Is there an app that will show me a list or log of apps that have triggered the home button notification light? Also, is there a list of what colors/flash patterns belong to which types of notifications? Rooting is not an option until my one year warranty is up and that's several months away.
Sometimes when I get a notification I'll go see what it is and clear it. The home button light stops flashing but then when Iput my phone to sleep the notification light will start blinking again. When I wake it up there's nothing in notifications and the home button stops blinking again but then it starts again when it goes to sleep. I've tried disabling different apps and have found what some of the notifications are but not all of them.
My wife and I use ICQ to chat since we've been on it so long and sometimes the phone tells me there's a new message when there's not. ICQ does a fast red flash on the home button so when I see it I have to open ICQ again and go to the chat a second time then back out all the way to clear it. That's not too bad because it's got a unique color and flash pattern so I know what it is.
Sometimes it's a blue light with a slower flash rate. I think that's for email but not sure since it's probably used by more than one app.
The one I can't figure out is a slow green flash. I've tried everything I can think of including force-closing every app and nothing makes it go away. Even rebooting doesn't fix it. It makes it impossible to tell if I actually have a notification unless the notification has a different color and flash pattern.
If there's an app or a way to see a notification history it would help me figure out why it's doing this.

Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull down notifications. The colors are usually set by each app in their respective notification settings. There's apps on the play store that can also help set colors but I think you need root. It's not hard to root and unroot though just don't unlock the bootloader.

Yeah, that's what I explained in my post. When I unlock my phone the home button LED turns off and when I swipe down to see notifications there are none, but as soon as I lock my phone it starts blinking again.
I just went through most of my apps and most have no options at all for the notify light. The only one that does is Facebook but the only option is for on/off and no option for the color. ICQ, GMail, and Outlook.com only lets me choose sound and vibrate. I don't think I've ever seen an app with options to select the color of the home button LED.

Wi-Fi calling notification

The Wi-Fi calling feature is certainly one of the grand highlights of this phone.
It even comes with an altered status bar icon to let you know the feature is activated.
Alas, with it *also* comes an ever-present notification "Calls will be made over Wi-Fi / Tap here to access preferences" in case you didn't notice the status bar icon change.
Does anyone know how to make this zero-information notification go away?

NOTIFICATION ACCESS for ALWAYS ON EDGE LIGHTING APP

Hi friends,
I hope in your help
I have a Xiaomi redmi note pro from a few days
On my precedent device I used Always On Edge lighting app by playstore
the app need the permissions for the notification access
but I allow this but the app continue to ask me the notification access so this not work
I make so:
I open the app
I tap to put the flag on notification access
it open the page of settings
I disable xiaomi service framework
I enable AOE
I enable xiaomi service framework
I go back
I watch the video to save
It telled me save succesfull
but the app ask me again the notification access
can someone help me?
Late reply, but anyway;
You have to open up phone settings, scroll down to "further settings" (right below "apps"), scroll down to choose "accessibilty", open the "more downloaded services" option. Check that AOE is set to "on".
Anyway, I just can't make AOE work as it should. I get notifications to show up, but since the screen light up for 30 sec's and then fade out to off, the notification also disappear. For instance, since screen always lights up on incoming calls, the notification disappears as soon as the screen goes black.
Anyone could help? I'm out of ideas....

Quick Start Panel / Notifications

Please can anyone resolve this, it's driving me crazy!
I have a nest camera that sends me notifications...
When recieving a notification I used to be able to tap the little indicator on the right hand side of the notification and it would show me the clip without having to go right into the app to view it.
This work when locked or unlocked... Now it won't work on either
Indicator is missing.
Any ideas please?
After hours of trying to sort this I managed to fix it seconds after posting on here
I'm using Nova and I had disabled oneui by accident and the notification permissions had been wiped out in one ui
No, it's doing it again
