Just downloaded Handcent and the settings that I want on it are not saving. For example I want vibrate only when phone is in vibrate mode. That is not working at all. I also disabled notifications in the notification bar and I'm still getting them. Don't know if being on a custom rom (omj) would affect any of this. Pretty annoying though and was wanting to know if anyone else is having this sort of problem. I also rebooted the phone and no dice still.
I'm assuming this has been answered before but I can't find it.
I have several persistent notifications on my pull down menu (Tasker, Should I Answer, Adguard and Light Flow) on my Nexus 5x running latest 7.0 preview. Is there some way I can get rid of them? I know that I can disable the notifications but the apps warn that this may cause them to be shut down (especially as I have Greenify running whenever I turn off the screen as I am unrooted). Basically, I want to clean up my pull down menu without having to root. Any help would be appreciated.

if you disable notifications within the apps there is a risk of termination as they are not running in the foreground anymore.
so instead try to disable notifications via the regular phone's setting, section notifications. there you can set notification-permissions per app.

Remove them from greenify if you have them in there. If you need to set a persistent notification then they should not be greenified in the first place.
Then disable the persistent notifications and see what happens.
Otherwise no there isn't a way and they need to be there for the apps usability.
Hi guys,
I have Zenfone 2 with a custom Cyanogen Mod 13 installed. I have been trying to disable the installed app notification that pops up on the bottom screen. It’s probably not an issue for most, since I really couldn't get anything on Google to disable this annoying notification. For me I find it very intrusive when something pops up and covers information on my screen. Just like heads up notification I want it gone. Is there a way to disable this? Or an App like Headsoff that works? I have NotificationsOff app installed but it doesn't seems to disable the damn thing. Any ideas on disabling this notification would be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Hey there, so one of the most annoying things since 5.0 is heads up notifications. in 6.0 they killed off scrolling notifications which is even worse.
anyway does anyone know of a way to disable heads up notifications and restore regular notifications?
if you disable them thru settings it just kills notifications entirely, it doesn't replace them with regular notifications.
anyone know a solution to this?
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.
