Hiding persistent notifications (eg: Qualcomm aptX) - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Has something changed with Oreo, or is this something OxygenOS does? I can't find an option to hide this. Anytime I have my bluetooth headset on (pretty much all day), the Qualcomm aptX thing shows up. It's even more frustrating as my brain keeps seeing the "X" in the notifications area as an error or something that really needs to be closed (bad marketing!).
I can hide the "notification dot" (no idea what that is), but that seems to have no visible effect. I want the whole thing gone, like I could do in Android M/N. Any ideas how?

Until someone comes with a better solution, you should be able to hide the icon from the statusbar by changing the priority in the Categories from medium to low.

Unfortunately, that option is grayed out.
**EDIT**
Figured out I had to tap the words, not the toggle. I was able to set it to "low", but it's still there. Googling finds a lot of people very irritated by it. Looks like it's been retroactively added to the OP3, also.

[Q] ActiveDisplay

So I tried two different roms that had ChaOS' ActiveDisplay on them (Carbon and DirtyUnicorn). After enabling it on both of them, every time I get a notification, i get it on the ActiveDisplay perfectly fine, but first, when I go to open the notification, it just brings me to the slide lockscreen, and i have to go through that to actually have it work. Is there any way to keep that from happening? When using the app DynamicNotifications, I had needed to enable it as an admin so that that sort of thing wouldnt happen, but nothing related to ActiveDisplay shows up there.
Secondly, as soon as the screen turns off from the notification, the notification goes away. I don't know if that's just how this implementation works, but I was under the impression (again from DynamicNotifications) that it was supposed to essentially replace the lockscreen and whenever I turned on the screen, it should show me any notifications if there were any. So is this how its supposed to work? or am I expecting the wrong thing?
I moved away from DynamicNotifications because it started being very buggy and laggy recently and from looking at ChaOS' video of it, it looked like it was pretty much a better implementation.

SMS notifications

HI everyone...
Got a bit of an odd one here, hoping someone can help.
For some reason, when the screen on my Sprint S6 is off, any SMS notifications get cut off (or I don't get them at all). I am expecting both an audio and/or vibration notification. If I turn my screen on, I will get the full notification as expected.
I thought maybe this was a problem with the DOZE settings, but I disabled YAATA from Battery Optimization, and it didn't fix anything.
Then I thought maybe it was a YAATA problem, so I went back to the standard built-in SMS app. Same results... either a cut-off, or no, notification when the screen is off, and a full notification when the screen is on.
Anyone have any suggestions on something else I could look at?
(For the record, I'm running stock, non-rooted Sprint S6...)
Much appreciated!
OK, after this has bothered me for MONTHS... I post here, and then figure it out.
I also have Glimpse Notifications installed on my phone. I just opened the app, and saw the following:
"Android Marshmallow sometimes cuts off notification sounds when the display turns on. In this case select Delay Screen On in the Extras menu."
... which, oddly enough fixed it.
I'll leave this here rather than delete it in case it helps others in the future.

Do not disturb settings / overriding alert slider

I really like my new Oneplus 3, even its size, which I thought would be unbearable. But after using it for a couple days I have at last found something that I really dislike. From what I can tell, the do not disturb settings from vanilla Android have been nixed in favor of the alert slider. Thus one cannot automate times during which, say, the phone allows no notifications or allows only priority level notifications. Nor can do not disturb settings be activated from, say, a widget on the device: the alert slider must be used for everything. I presume the reason is that they don't want the settings to conflict with the slider (eg, going into a do not disturb mode when the slider is in the bottom most position).
However, I would like to be able to control these things from software. Is there any solution involving rooting? The only thing I don't want to do is install a new ROM (I don't want to lose the dash charging).
I am really interested about this too. Loosing the automated acttions such as DnD and Night mode are a setback for me.
Are there any ROMs out there which have at least tackled the DnD issue? The slider could be used then for something else (lock portrait mode, lamp light etc...)
Most apps and widgets I've tried since posting simply don't work, with one exception. I've found that the app Do Not Disturb by Cabooze (sorry, can't link) replicates the missing functionality and seems to mute notifications even when the alert slider is set in the bottom position. This is really not ideal (I would trade the alert slider for stock do not disturb in a second) but is an adequate stop gap.
Thanks for the info, that app seems to be working. But the feeling is the same. I fee like back in the days the function did not exist in stock, looking for tricks/apps and wondering if what I found will be reliable... still hoping we see soon solid custom roms which also offer a solution for all the missing automation.
You can surely use tasker for this...
i've designed an Alert Slider software override (non-root) for the OnePlus 3 (probably works on the newer OnePlus phones as well) It allows for scheduled setting of sound profiles. Need some advice on interest and how to Beta release.

Notification Icons not showing in status bar

Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...

Question How to Disable Wi-Fi Call notifications on S22 (Possible or not?)

For as long as we have had these phones, I have dealt with numerous bloatware apps I had to uninstall ala adb command line args, but one aspect of it i'm trying to deal with proves to be stubborn to a massive fault: Wi-Fi Call Notifications
Multiple times this aspect of my phone refuses to stop giving me notifications on "hey, guess what, if u enable wifi call and blah blah blah". Yeah, I get that its an alternate way to call if phone lines are down or for emergency reasons or whatever, but I DON'T CARE!!! Yet the option to turn off notifications for it are unavailable for me, greyed out, and I even set the delivery of said notifications to silent and quiet by long pressing the notification on my top-down menu when extended, but nope, still here
I need help, is there a way for me to disable these notifications in some way that wont bad times my phone, or better yet, is the wi-fi calling app, while an integrated system app and whatnot, relatively safe enough for me to adb/pm uninstall it without my phone having a hiccup and bricking itself? I just want to shut it up already, I don't want to use it, I will NOT use it, never and no how. pls halp
I'm trying to figure this out now as well... Did you solve it already?
This is probably of little help to you both, but I kept receiving that notification concerning Wi-Fi calling (USA unlocked firmware) until I stopped notifications from whatever app was displaying the Wi-Fi calling "offer", perhaps by tapping on the notification itself, or long pressing on the notification (it's been a while).
Unfortunately, I don't remember which app served the notification. In any case I haven't been bothered by it subsequently, although I don't know what else I might be missing! (Nothing that I've noticed.)
