Notification history is great for when you accidentally dismiss something you didn't mean to. However to me this is only a half solution if I'm not able to restore it back to where it was.
How is it useful to have a wrongly dismissed notification be bunched up with all other dismissed notifications? Especially as more notifications are dismisssed, the wrongly dismissed one just gets buried in there. 192.168.0.1 router login 192.168.l.l.link/
For example, if I have an upcoming alarm, I want to have it visible in my notifications..If I dismiss it by mistake, I want to be able to restore it. Otherwise I need to always keep checking both my notifications and my notifications history (plus the cognitive load of identifying which notifications I wrongly dismissed).
I feel like I'm missing something?
I am interested in that too.
I 100% agree. It's a great start to a feature but is nearly useless in most situations. Even if I didn't want to restore a notification - which should be an option too, at least the ability to click on the historical notification to take me to where it would've taken me before I accidentally dismissed it is important to me.

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
Hi,
Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.
Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).
Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!
Thanks,
Ian
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.
Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
Hi,
Using GNex with stock JB 4.11.
With my former dumb phone, when I missed a call or a msg, the phone made a brief sound notification periodically as a reminder. With the GNex, there is no reminder. I must wake up the phone and notice a tiny icon in the notification area. Is it possible to configure the GNex to remind by vibration & sound missed events (calls, message, and possibly calendar)?
Thanks.
Although people mostly recommend Light Flow (Light Flow Lite) for controlling the LED, it also controls notification sounds/vibration if you want. It can do repeating notification sounds on whatever interval you'd like.
Its a bit of a hassle to set up though because you need to turn off all notifications in the app natively, then use Light Flow as your only way of controlling them, iirc.
Hi,
Cool thanks. I will check that out. BTW, I find the periodic notification of missed events a useful feature. How come such an advanced device cannot do such a simple thing? I assume "simple" because that is what a dumb phone can do. Or is there any technical / logical reason for not doing this kind of notification in the world of smartphone?

I would assume that the repeat notification option isn't really as necessary when you have a really good notification system that keeps everything together in one place. Not to mention that people kinda live on their phones nowadays, so I guess they assume people won't be missing notifications that often.
GoSMS has the ability to have "reminders"
I really like my new Oneplus 3, even its size, which I thought would be unbearable. But after using it for a couple days I have at last found something that I really dislike. From what I can tell, the do not disturb settings from vanilla Android have been nixed in favor of the alert slider. Thus one cannot automate times during which, say, the phone allows no notifications or allows only priority level notifications. Nor can do not disturb settings be activated from, say, a widget on the device: the alert slider must be used for everything. I presume the reason is that they don't want the settings to conflict with the slider (eg, going into a do not disturb mode when the slider is in the bottom most position).
However, I would like to be able to control these things from software. Is there any solution involving rooting? The only thing I don't want to do is install a new ROM (I don't want to lose the dash charging).
I am really interested about this too. Loosing the automated acttions such as DnD and Night mode are a setback for me.
Are there any ROMs out there which have at least tackled the DnD issue? The slider could be used then for something else (lock portrait mode, lamp light etc...)
Most apps and widgets I've tried since posting simply don't work, with one exception. I've found that the app Do Not Disturb by Cabooze (sorry, can't link) replicates the missing functionality and seems to mute notifications even when the alert slider is set in the bottom position. This is really not ideal (I would trade the alert slider for stock do not disturb in a second) but is an adequate stop gap.
Thanks for the info, that app seems to be working. But the feeling is the same. I fee like back in the days the function did not exist in stock, looking for tricks/apps and wondering if what I found will be reliable... still hoping we see soon solid custom roms which also offer a solution for all the missing automation.
You can surely use tasker for this...
i've designed an Alert Slider software override (non-root) for the OnePlus 3 (probably works on the newer OnePlus phones as well) It allows for scheduled setting of sound profiles. Need some advice on interest and how to Beta release.

For as long as we have had these phones, I have dealt with numerous bloatware apps I had to uninstall ala adb command line args, but one aspect of it i'm trying to deal with proves to be stubborn to a massive fault: Wi-Fi Call Notifications
Multiple times this aspect of my phone refuses to stop giving me notifications on "hey, guess what, if u enable wifi call and blah blah blah". Yeah, I get that its an alternate way to call if phone lines are down or for emergency reasons or whatever, but I DON'T CARE!!! Yet the option to turn off notifications for it are unavailable for me, greyed out, and I even set the delivery of said notifications to silent and quiet by long pressing the notification on my top-down menu when extended, but nope, still here
I need help, is there a way for me to disable these notifications in some way that wont bad times my phone, or better yet, is the wi-fi calling app, while an integrated system app and whatnot, relatively safe enough for me to adb/pm uninstall it without my phone having a hiccup and bricking itself? I just want to shut it up already, I don't want to use it, I will NOT use it, never and no how. pls halp
I'm trying to figure this out now as well... Did you solve it already?
This is probably of little help to you both, but I kept receiving that notification concerning Wi-Fi calling (USA unlocked firmware) until I stopped notifications from whatever app was displaying the Wi-Fi calling "offer", perhaps by tapping on the notification itself, or long pressing on the notification (it's been a while).
Unfortunately, I don't remember which app served the notification. In any case I haven't been bothered by it subsequently, although I don't know what else I might be missing! (Nothing that I've noticed.)
