[Q] Anyway to disable screen turning on during notification**SOLVED**

as the title states, I would like to know if there is away that I am not seeing to disable the screen illuminating when I receive a notification (sms, email.. etc)
I don't like this feature, the phone already tells me via audio notification that I have received a message and I think it is a battery drainer (not matter how minuscule) I'd like to have some control over this...
With my screen off, it lights up when I receive a message and I would like to disable this function. I already have LED notification turned off...
I hope I was able to communicate my desire
Thanks in advance for your help

Oops, you got a free thanks. The way I dealt with it was to install Handcent and then disable the stock messaging application. But I'm on US Cellular and I'm not sure how much different our phones are. Handcent has MANY more features than the stock application as a perk also.

That is an alternative yes. I would like to keep the stock app though because it's been my experience to have lots of problems with third party messaging apps. For example, I am unable to use MightText while using some third party apps. Sometimes the apps update and have FC closes afterwards.
If you didn't mean to give me a thanks, can't you take it back... I mean if you really wanted too, don't get me wrong, I'll take all the thanks I can get!

I'd also be interested in this..I find it super anoying.
Edit: Gave in and installed Go SMS with a GSIII theme.

here's a solution if anyone is still looking for one

[Q] Status Bar

At first I thought I was the only one suffering from this annoyance, but then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgvTFu6UKJI
See, the problem is that whenever I send or receive a message, this icon pops up. At first I thought I was delusional, but then it repeatedly became clear that this was truly a bug. I managed to get a screenshot of it (which was really difficult considering that it only pops up for about half a second). I want to know if I anyone else has had this issue, and whether or not someone found a workaround from it popping up. Anyone at all?

Are you using Hangouts?

Nope! Stock everything, and unrooted. Using the HTC messaging app

Probably Carrier IQ for some reason tracking your location. My LG G2 does the same thing.

This bothered me as well, but I have since gotten rid of it. Granted that you're rooted, you can download an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It listens for "notifications" in the status bar, and you have the option to disable them. Download/install/activate the module, turn on the listening feature, and send a message. When you go back into NotifyClean, you'll see "Data Usage". Select that, then select "Data usage is running". It should highlight the selection in red, and ultimately get rid of the little annoying icon that shows up for a split second.

It seems that I'm not the only one having an issue. Well hopefully there's a better work around for this because I don't plan rooting my phone for a long time! Flashing roms and tweaks could be addicting haha! Hopefully someone finds a better fix to hide this annoying notification!

Yeah, take it from someone that flashed a ROM today and every mod/tweak I could find... it gets addicting. I spent 8 hours at my computer today going over various mods and personalizing my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to help with your issue that doesn't involve root. If you know what is causing the notification then you may be able to go into settings>apps>all and disable the offender?

I managed to get a screenshot, and I checked what app was causing it but it was a system app called "Data Usage". Anyone know how to turn off data usage notifications? Turning off data usage alert doesn't help

This is normal behavior. While it shouldn't be popping up, its normal as in that it is what is done when a SMS/MMS is sent while on WiFi.
You can locate the app through Application Manager and tap it to Disable Notifications. This doesnt require root or anything.

Taking shots in the dark here, but there is a data usage section under wireless & networks in settings. In that menu there is a toggle for 'alert me about data usage'. You can then drag a slider up and down to set the cap for when your phone warns you about data usage. Maybe yours is dragged to the very bottom so it alerts you about any data usage?
Unlikely because it would show up during everything, but worth asking. Maybe just disabling the notification toggle would work. Also, does your carrier ship with specific software to monitor data usage? If so then check all of those apps settings to see if anything has any effect.

It doesn't matter whether or not the wifi is on, it still annoyingly pops up. I meant that you really can't disable notifications as it is a system app

I've tried that too! It still pops up, and it annoys me. Thanks for the effort though!
No, I don't think so. My S3 never did this. My phone is unlocked from HK

I read its some type of traffic usage. Someone here posted a picture of it here. Also I have an option on the ROM I'm running to hide that notification. O don't think its carrier IQ but then again.

Notification sound with no apparent notification item

I love my new Pixel 2 XL but despite my best efforts to identify what app or system service was sending repeated (and annoying) default notification sounds but not showing any other message or indication, I finally hit on a solution that seems to work.
SET THE DEFAULT NOTIFICATION SOUND TO "NONE"
settings>sound>advanced>default notification sound
Then set the notification sounds to whatever you want for each app you actually care to hear from.

I have noticed this as well.
<notification sound> no new text or email...
For me, it's just easier to ignore the errant tone once in a while than to set notifications for individual apps (cause I'm totally lazy like that).
But THAT is the beauty of Android... to each their own and there are always multiple ways to skin that cat

Use a notification log
I had this same issue. Turned out to be an app I had disabled pop ups for.
I have a (potentially) better solution. Add a notification log widget to find the culprit:
1. Long press on home screen and go to widgets.
2. Drag the settings widget to the home screen.
3. In the list of options, choose Notifications
Now you can see a log of your notifications. Next time you get the sound but no pop up, go into the log and find the offender at the top of the list.
For me it was a game I didn't need so I deleted it, but you can remedy the problem as you see fit.

Glad you found it! Sorry I just saw this. I forget where I learned about this, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm glad I could pass it on to someone else, I'm sure it could be plenty useful.

I'm having the same issue but it's not even showing in the notification log. Makes me want to throw it out the window to be honest. There's time where it will go off every 30 seconds. Off to reset I guess and see if that works.

same thing here pixel 2 oreo 8.1 notification sound...no thing new in the "hot list" or email or message
very weird, and randomly at night too which is the suck

2019 and no change
Hello, same issue still persists in 2019. Every few weeks i must dump the default sound as it sets it self up again.
Still no idea why it does it, just a temp bandaid to curb the annoyance. I notice a slightly higher battery drain too, tells me something is running

Sounds like a re-install is in order...if you have an unlocked bootloader, when was the last time you've done an update via Full Factory image? I'd imagine all that might be sorted out by reinstall/updating; with the "-w" removed of course...
I hope you consider it, and I hope this helps...

Question Notification delayed

I am using the Poco F3(13.0.9)and for some reason my notifications for messenger are delayed.I have tried enable auto start and set the battery to no restrictions but nothing works.
Does anyone knows how to fix it so i can get instant notification without delay?

Question Xiaomi 13 Pro for 2 days and already so many problems

So a friend and I got the 13 Pro for 2 days and we already encountered so many problems, most of them I've been able to fix, but there are two remaining that I can't manage to fix, and not the least.
Firstly, we don't receive push notifications for Gmail. Notifications are enabled for Gmail in phone settings, in the Gmail app, and battery saver is disabled for the app. Everything seems normal. We tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone, clearing data of the app. Nothing works.
Secondly, when sending a voice message on Instagram, the voice waveform is flat. Like there is no sound. But there is actually sound, it just shows like there is not. Not a huge problem in itself but it's quite disturbing when a recording a message, and for the person who receives it.
Also, not really a problem but still deserves an honorable mention, as stated previously, my friend and I have the same phone, (Xiaomi 13 Pro 12/256GB, MIUI 14.0.15, Model 2210132G). His torch light is yellowish, like most of the phones I'd say, while mine is very white and bright. We just don't know why...
Any help would be very appreciated, especially for the Gmail issue which is very problematic
(screenshots attached for more details)

I assume you have granted permissions to Gmail, even though it is not mentioned in the post.
Version of the rom(full name)?.

Yes permissions for notifications were granted to Gmail on the first launch of the app.
The ROM full name is 14.0.15.0(TMBEUXM)

I can't find this rom.
Long press on the Gmail icon/information/permissions :
Allow all (always allow except sms).

That's weird, this is the ROM for Europe I guess, I didn't installed anything else, just updated the the software when prompted on first boot
So I gave all permissions to Gmail.

The screen shot does not correspond with what I told you above.

Couldn't find "Allow all (always allow except sms)" when going to Gmail information while long pressing the app icon so I thought you just meant to allow everything
Anyway, I really don't know why but it works now ! I received email notifications for your replies to the thread so I hope it's not temporarily Thank you lol

You indirectly grant the permissions.
Check like this;
Xiaomi settings/app management/installed apps/gmail/authorizations.

Sorry I'm trying my best but the steps you give me don't match with what I see
Here is what I got in the screenshots below (leading to the same page as the screenshot from one of my previous post)
I got Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > Gmail > App permissions

Ok,it's good, it's Gmail that does that (I don't use Gmail).

Okay, now it's not working anymore, I'm desperate

No screen notification on standby or even screen on?
used you AOD?

Screen on or screen off, no notifications.
Last notifications I received were from about 30 mins ago (screenshot below), phone vibrated, notification showed on wake screen and in the top bar when unlocked.
But if I open the Gmail app, there is an email notifying me your reply at 5:58, for which I didn't receive a push notification...

Check, settings/notifications/lock screen, floating notifications, badges.
Effect of notifications/all but none.
If you use AOD/verify that on used theme that notifications is activated.

Gmail notifications are correctly allowed for lock screen, floating notifications and badges.
Notification is set to animation (Pulse, blue)
Sorry forgot to reply to this part, I not using always-on display
This is so frustrating...

Check:
Xiaomi settings/app management/manage permissions/permissions/apps then permissions.

Ok so this time I got a push notification ! Phone was unlocked, I'll let it locked from now to see if it changes anything next time.
Regarding your reply, I already checked here a few minutes ago while browsing in the settings looking for anything that was disabled while it's shouldn't be... Everything looks good there.

Well, apart from granting Gmail all permissions (post #5) I didn't change anything since I opened this thread. But I now randomly get push notifications... I got one when you posted, but like 50 mins ago I received an email for which I didn't get a notification... This is nonsense, I don't know what to think
