Push notifications

I have the most annoying issue with my non rooted stock tmobile note 3. I disable notifications within games and apps and such plus I also go to app info and uncheck the box "show notifications" but some how they still keep coming back!! Then I look in app info and the "show notifications" is checked again it's like it will only save those settings for awhile. I am wondering is it because I moved some apps to the SD card and those settings don't save? It's a bad situation cause I have to keep my vibration and ringer off otherwise it will wake me up at night! Is it after I update an app that the settings go back to default? Is it an android OS issue or a note 3 issue? I also used every antivirus and spam checker app out there and comes back clean. Anyone else have this issue?

Root it like a man.

I see no use in rooting I don't mind touch wiz besides even if I did root it still doesn't solve my push notification holding the settings problem

[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.

[Q] How to diable smart screen notification

Hi,
I use LG smart screen on my phone, I find it very usefull as I tend to browse and read on my phone and it keeps the screen on while I'm reading.
Sometimes, I'm not sure if it is every time it acts or only when it doesn't detect my face correctly, it shows a notification (an eye inside a rectangle) on the notification bar and it is distracting.
Also since the Lollipop update it also shows on the lockscreen and that is annoying.
I would like to diable that notification in particular (but keep on using the feature). I tried disabling the notifications from the app's properties but it is not posible, it's greyed out. I also tried to convert the app to an user app with titanium backup but It didn't work, still greyed out. I couldn't find useful information here or on the Internet.
I'm rooted and have xposed for Lollipop installed.
Do you know a way to diable it?
Thanks,
Miki

I believe the eye means it is looking for your face because its about to shut the screen off. If you see that eye hold the phone so it can see you better and screen won't shut off. This seems to work for me.

Yes, that's what it means, the problem is I use glasses and that seems to confuse the app, and even though it works it shows the notification and that distracts me when I'm focused reading. It also shows on the lockscreen and it doesn't look right.

How to Disable Screen Wake for Ring app

Hey all, my ring doorbell app wakes the screen anytime I get an alert. I want to keep the notifications on but don't want the screen to wake. It wakes even in my pocket which I want to of course avoid. It may just be a bug in the app but I should be able to limit that from happening. Or so I hope anyway.
I have tried the following.
1. Switched all notifications pertaining to the app and individual cameras to "sound only"
2. In the app I have disabled "alerts open full screen video"
3. I have disabled heads up notifications globally through ADB.
4. Disabled ambient display.
5. Disabled notifications on lock screen.
I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any ideas are appreciated at this point.
TIA

I've struggled with the same thing for months. It never used to do it, but after an update earlier this year it became the new normal for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some sort of work around.

I'm having the same problem with a Sony XZ1 phone (Android 8.0.0). I spoke with Ring at length and it's 'apparently' a problem with my phone, not their App.
I think that's a load of rubbish and something they need to address and fix. I installed the App on another Android phone running an earlier version of software, the App installs with different options and doesn't wake up the screen. So it's obviously dependent on the OS version but as other Apps don't have the same problem I can only conclude that it's an issue with the Ring App.

Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and then install an older version from APK mirror? Not even sure its on there but it's worth a go

That's a great idea. There are plenty of versions to try on APK mirror, one or two per month from 2018. Not a good sign for a reliable and stable app.
I'll give it a go later unless anyone gets there first and can suggest a 'good' version to try

Were you able to find an older version that doesn't have the screen wake behavior?
edit: Pixel 2 - going back to 2.0.66.8 still has the screen wake behavior regardless of notification setting.
edit 2: 2.0.57.2 does the same thing...

Looks like the latest ring version finally let's you fix this. Select your devices, go to notification settings, then select sound only. The default is sound plus pop up. I no longer have the issue after making the change.

Can anyone confirm if turning off the 'plus pop' in the ring app settings works? I have a new pixel 3 on Android pie and the app is still turning on the screen at every alert event with settings set to just sound or just silent.

I'm having the same issue with the ring app. It wakes the screen. Really sucks when phone is in my pocket. I have tried every option and or combo of options. I have a pixel 3a on Android 10. Android 10 does have a option to wake screen for notifications found under display advanced, lock screen. But it is turned off

Still a problem on Android 10, No combinations of settings has been able to stop this for me. Of course Ring denies this even though I have sent a logcat to them.

Question Check access settings

Every day I get these notifications, they say "Check access settings" and tell me that there's apps that have certain access that i may want to disable, and it tells me "Tap to review".
I'm getting pretty tired of having to swipe these away every day, is there a way to disable them? When i go into the options to disable them by long pressing the notification, it takes me to notification options that are disabled. There's got to be another place somewhere where i can disable this?

I long press notifications like that and set them to "Silent". Now I have a dozen silent notifications all the time, but they don't bother me. It's the price I gotta pay...
You can still swipe them away while they're silent, but I just don't bother most of the time.

I was also getting these daily (about 3 everyday) on my Pixel 6 Pro & 3 XL. And you can't disable them because they are a specific Android System notification. Such a weird bug. I even tried a factory reset.
I've moved to GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP on my Pixel 3/6 Pro and these Android Forks are like night and day. Auto brightness, battery life etc work much better than Stock. I haven't used Android Forks in years but I've moved away from Google Services so it was time. I like being able to pick what app I want to install and what type of data is being sent to Google - rather than just having everything sent to GAFAM (Google / Facebook etc). And the built-in firewalls for network access and being able to disable sensors can't be underestimated. I can use Google Camera, GBoard etc without internet access. /rant over
