Annoying mobile data notification - Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers

Hey guys.
I just received the phone, really satisified with it. Performance is top notch and the size is perfect.
One thing, however, is disturbing me: when I enable/disable the mobile data, a notification appears on the notification center, it's swippable but it's very annoying. I tried to disallow it from settings but I cant since "Phone Services" is a system app. (I'm not talking about the popup alert, that's easily disabled).
Any solution to remove that?
Cheers.

which notification you exactly mean?

Take a look at AutoNotification (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification), which allows you to hide / disable any notification, you just need to give it permissions using ADB.

Thank you @BetaLyte, it worked like a charm.

Notification Bar

Morning all, got my desire 2 days ago and still trying to get used to it after leaving my HD2. 1 thing i am annoyed at is the apparent inability to turn the notification bar off for sms, received/sent and STILL get a sound/vibrate.
I have found the settings in messages and handcert as i use that as my default sms now.
If i remove the tick from notification bar (in messages menu) and the sound 1 is ticked but then grays out. Nothing is shown or more importantly HEARD even though its ticked but grayed out. I have done the same for the handcert but it seems the notification settings in the messages program override the handcert ones.
Basically i want to have NO notifications on the notification bar but for it to make a sound and vibrate. Can it be done?

You could try duck tape?
Seriously its only fully visable if you pull it down, can't you just ignore it?
no really helpful that, i can ofc course ignore it. but being a non winMo i thought you could edit it so it just never showed up. i'd just prefer not to have to drag the thing down and click clear every time i send/receive a msg.
not asking much for such a customisable phone or so i thought.

If you read the message the notification disappears...
And you can change your whole ''desktop'' except the notification bar as far as I know.
Maybe a rom cooker can edit the android files but out of the box? No you can't change it. Sorry
And many people see the notification tab as a plus, and I do to I really have
a hard time imaging getting annoyed with it so sorry for my first response but it goes in the list of (for example)
1. I hate androids open source way of doing things, wich really is a virtue of android. 2. I hate htc sense (then don't buy it)
thanks for the reply.
I am just slightly annoyed that changing the settings in the original messages settings conflict and over ride the handcert sms ones. gonna try chomp and see if those settings can take priority over the default messages app.

You can set the settings for each program, if you want to turn off notifications, you can do that.
I have turned off notifications from the deafult messaging app and uses hancent's notifications.
If you dont want any og those apps notifications you have to turn them both off

[Q] How to turn off Flipboard notifications?

How do you turn off Flipboard notifications? I'm tired of this app spamming me every day, I've tried going into the app going to profile, hitting the settings icon and then going to Push Notifications and unchecking all of the boxes but its still sending me the notifications!
Thanks.
Block it with debloater
Goto tablet settings, apps, find flipboard and turn off notifications, simple ☺

Same issue here. Turning off push notifications does not do the trick. Pissing me off, tell you what.

That's the problem, I use it daily, just hate the notifications. I have everything unchecked in settings and still they notify me. Ugh.
If the app is running in background you still get notifications, even with it disabled in settings, only way to stop it is to open recent apps and clear flipboard once youve stopped using it, this seems to happen with alot of apps, i get the same thing with news republic app

Android allowing notifications
The Blocking Mode on Galaxy devices lets you disable the entire notifications on your device, But how to disable notifications on Android for selected apps? follow the instruction to specify which application is allowed to show notifications on the status bar:
1. Open Settings and go to Application Manager (or Apps on some devices)
2. Now you should see the list of installed applications on your device
3. Tap the application you would like to disable notifications
4. Make sure "Show Notifications" is not checked
androidwidgetcenter.com/android-tips/how-to-disable-notifications-on-android-for-selected-apps/
I also cleared data and signed out - some who still use FB may not want to go this far.
I'm so proud of myself. Some months ago, I started searching the Internet to find out how to end those annoying Flipboard notifications. Today, I was out searching, again. Somehow, I accidentally discovered the answer. And you'll flip when you read my solution! (Definitely, no pun intended. )
To disable Flipboard:
1. Go to your notifications.
2. Find a recent Flipboard notification item and touch and hold the notification item.
This action should take you directly to the app's notifications settings. At the very top is the option to disable Flipboard's notifications.
This worked in my Sansung Galaxy S7, but I see no reason it shouldn't work for other devices/users who are disgusted with the annoyance.

Determine app that causes notifications

There are several notifications that are annoying to say the least.
We have a lot of control to handle app notifications that appear, but this is a system notification it seems, I can't identify what system feature is triggering the alert, then of course disabling it.
Running the Oreo Beta on a fresh install.
One of the notifications is: "blah blah app is using the battery, select for more details..." or something to that affect. It is a Android system notification, but I can't figure out what triggers that one and how to disable it.
Example, Life 360 app running in the background all the time, the alert will randomly show in the notification bar. Just swiping down and looking at it often makes it go away, I don't select it, or I just clear the alerts with the bars at the bottom.
Thanks
Go to Google Play and search for an app called "Hide 'running in the background' Notification" by iboalali.
Awesome. Thanks

Sound push notification issue

I have a problem with the sound notification from one app. Basically I turned on all permissions, auto start, all the stuff I could find on youtube still I don't receive sound and vibration notification from the app. It is a simple app where you get notified with two beeps sound 15 minutes before set time and I have floating notification and visual when the phone is in my hand, but when it is locked it doesn't notify me, it is shown on lock screen but doesn't awake the mobile phone and doesn't reproduce sound notification. Hope someone can help me, thank you in advance. Also on the dropdown menu and lock screen some facebook notifications are cut in half, are those MIUI system problems, or should I consider returning the phone because of some kind of error of this particular phone.

I had a similar issue with notifications and I fixed it by enabling "notification access" to "xiaomi service framework" in system settings. If that doesn't work, I'd try factory resetting.

I don't think it will work, but my question is how to add exceptions to the security and cleaner I assume that is a problem?

Notification Icons not showing in status bar

Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...
