[Q] Cannot get rid of WhatsApp notifications - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
an incoming new message shows up as a notification in the notification
drawer. When I am wiping it away I would assume to have marked it as
read. Yet after a while the same notification comes back meaning that
the message was not marked as read.
Is this a bug or can I somehow turn off this "feature"?
Regards

You must open the message for it to clear otherwise the message will still be um unread. I don't know how to mute notifications on android I know you can do it on iOS. Maybe they will add the mute feature in the future.

Thanks. Good to hear that at least it is not a problem of my device or ROM but of WhatsApp.

Missed Call

Does anyone else have there missed calls show up again in the notification bar after there phone rests even if they cleared it previously? If so is there a way to disable this from happening

Happens to me, too. I think you have to actually tap on the missed call notification to view your call log in order for it to be cleared as a notification. Just clearing it from the drop-down doesn't do it.

[Q] Whatsapp on GN

Hey, I can't seem to find a way to make whatsapp work with notifications.
When I receive a message, it simply won't show in the notifications bar...
It's all enable at the configurations of the app...
Anyone?

Have you been into the whatsapp setting? There isn't one for the notification bar from what i can see but there is one for pop up, check that and see if it works
I have been using the app since the phone was launched without any issues
Mine work but disappear sometimes, and sometimes Whatsapp crashes when I open certain threads, until they are deleted

Flashing notification, None seen??

Anyone have any idea why my home screen button keeps flashing green despite the fact I do not have any notifications ?
I checked all texts, Thru the ATT Message app and the stock text message app.
I have notifications turned off for text on the ATT Messages App.
I got nothing.
I opened the Notification tray, Slid the apps on top around, Closed it.
Now it's not flashing.
Weird.
Happens to me too. Restart gets rid of it for me.

No SMS notifications from inside conversation

I recently switched from an S4 to a Note 4, and have been missing lots of incoming SMS messages. I realize now that the S4 would beep any time a new message arrived, but the Note 4 suppresses notifications when you're inside the conversation for which a new message arrives. I can kind of see the logic for this - why would one need the phone to beep if you're already on the screen that's showing you the incoming message? In practice, though, I find that I leave the conversation screen open all the time when I'm not looking at the phone.
Most frequently, I keep the phone on a dock at my desk, hooked up to my KVM switch, so I can use my keyboard/mouse to write messages during the day. After sending a message, I switch back to my main computer/monitor and work over there until the phone beeps at me again. I rely on the SMS notifications to grab my attention, but need to explicitly exit the conversation after sending each message now if I want the beep to occur. The same thing happens when I put the phone in my pocket, holster, on the counter, etc. after sending an SMS. I'm sure I'll develop a habit after a while, but it seems foolish to me that I can't just stay in a conversation and have it beep whenever there's activity. This is the only email/IM/SMS app that I have that behaves this way.
I've tried to force the Messages app to beep at me whenever an SMS arrives, but there doesn't appear to be an option for this. Hopefully, I've just overlooked it, so:
QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the Messages app to beep whenever an SMS arrives, even if I'm already inside the conversation for the new message?
I'm using the stock ROM, no root, the default Messages app that comes on the phone, and a built-in notification sound (i.e. not something custom from the external SD card). Vanilla configuration. Thanks for your help.

In phone app go to settings - call - call alerts . There is option to alert you on notifications. Make sure you have this check.

Just to clarify, when I say "conversation", I mean that I'm reading an SMS thread inside the Messages app - not having a verbal conversation in the Phone app. Assuming that this is understood...
In the "Call alerts" page, I see several settings. Mine are configured as follows (where "+" is checked, and "-" is unchecked):
CALL VIBRATIONS
+ Vibrate when answered
+ Call-end vibration
CALL STATUS TONES
+ Call connect tone
- Minute Minder
+ Call end tone
ALERTS ON CALL
+ Notify during calls
Under the configuration above, would you expect the Messages app to beep when an SMS arrives on the thread that I'm currently reading?

Now i'm not sure. i need to see if in scenario you talking about i have notification, if i do i will explain my settings.
EDIT:
OK. I have notification. In settings in default messenger i have in notification Notification sound ( choose as you wish)
Vibrate +
Repeat message alert ( I got every 10 Min)
Pop-up display +
Lock Screen +
Status Bar +
What im reading messages i got pop-up with sound on top of message app.
But when im reading message and i get message from same person i don't have sound notification. It must be setup by software this way.
Did you find a fix? Mine does the same thing.

I'm still getting the same behavior. Missed several messages yesterday, in fact. This is the first thing I check after every OS update from AT&T, but I guess most people continue to prefer to not be notified when their text messages arrive.
If my screen is on while I'm in a conversation, you're correct, no notification will occur. But if my screen times out (locks) I will get a notification tone. I guess it just assumes you are looking at the screen if it's on and a message comes in.
Not aware of any way to change this.

I think that that's probably the intent. Maybe my habits are different than others', but I'm frequently not looking at the phone when the Messages app is up. Actually, before getting the Note 4 and training myself to switch off of Messages after reading each new text, I predominantly wasn't looking at the screen while Messages was up.
There's probably no one-size-fits-all setting here. It's just too bad that there's not an option to enable/disable audible notifications to fit individual preferences.
Did anyone ever find a way around this? You figure someone would have made an xposed module or something.
What a response.
Your response sounds like We should all be alike and conform.
Text notifications
Try '8sms' ... only text messaging app that I've found that will consistently notify me of incoming texts. Some apps will for a time but then stop doing so. This one has worked well for me.

Text message sounds

I don't think I am searching for the correct phrase but I have been trying to find a solution for two days now.
When my phone is in the messaging app I do not get any notification sounds or vibration but if it is in any other app or at rest I do get notification sounds. How can I turn on sounds when I am in the messaging app?
Thanks,
Tom
No notification sounds for incoming text messages right? That is how it is. I just tested it with a friend and her G4.

Thanks for the support! To be clear, I do get notifications if I am not in the messaging app but if I am in the messaging app I do not.
Thanks!
