SPen Screenshot Problem? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I use the SPen frequently to outline and box something I want to take a screenshot of so I can send on whatsapp, etc. When I first got the phone, after I used to do the outline it came up with the message in the notification bar which enabled me to quickly go to the picture I just saved. For some reason this no longer happens and I can't find a way to get it back. Can anyone help?
As a sidenote, whenever I take a normal screenshot or do a screenshot gesture, it comes up with the message in the notification bar allowing me to go to the picture. This problem seems specific to the spen "outline" screenshot.
Thanks in advanced for any help

Have you checked your settings in the messaging app? (Messaging-Settings-Notifications) Other than that, you could check under Settings-Sound-General and check your Vibration setting.
And I have also gotten that on my part too, I think this has to do with the stock messaging app showing a picture message as a small video. You could always pause while seeing the picture and save it

[Q] notification bar question

Hello! Just got the unlock version a couple days ago and I am using lightning launcher; it is awesome. My issue is with call and text notifications, how do I make the fire phone display that I have a new call/text or missed a call on the status bar. This is really frustrating, hope someone can help me.
I don't think this is possible without replacing the systemui file. The only other option would be to use omega status bar, or super status bar, which are basically status bar overlays.
So I did install omega status bar but it still wont show call or text notifications in the status bar. Can you tell me how to set it up? Even the app icon itself is not even showing that I have recieved a call or text.
I think you will benefit from reading the tips and tricks thread that's created. Member jondecker76 and myself branch out on a lot of helpful tips to use this as a daily device.

Problem - Notifications - The notification bar doesn't keep a log of icons of notifications. For example, if I get a KIK message it drops down, previews it, and vanished. Unless I open up the notification panel there is nothing to remind you of this. This bothers me as I often don't review them straight away and forget it even happened.
Solution- Notifications - I've toggled all the options regarding notifications in the settings. My original complaint still exists. This was a HUGE set back for me with this device. Luckily, with a lot of trial and error, I found an app that works well for me. It's call NotifierPro Free. I configured it so a bar drops down and stays under the status bar. I also configured it so these notifications remain until I swipe them away. This has been a HUGE help in allowing me to adapt to this device.

Running into the same issue, have you found a work around? I know this thread is old, hopefully the original poster will reply or someone else.

cant read all of notifications

The attached screenshot shows what Im talking about. See the Amazon message goes off screen? Is there an app or anything I can do with root to make the notifications scroll?
I keep having titanium backup network errors but the notification goes off screen and I can't read it! I don't know where to access the notifications for that app or any other to help me trouble shoot. This seems like a really stupid miss on Google's part. I'd love for these to scroll. Sideways so you could read the whole notification.
Edit: unable to upload pic now but I think everyone gets the point.
Turn on auto rotate and you might be able to read the whole message in landscape.

Already tried that and it didn't work. Notification is too long. I changed the system text to the smallest setting too. I got a few more letters with these changes but not enough to shed light on what I need to know.

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.

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
