how to have expanded notifications by default? - HTC Droid DNA

having expanded notifications is hit or miss... even when nothing else is there, I'll get the small version. I want the full one of my music, of my scrrenshot especially so i can hit send etc.. i always have to manually expand them.. sometimes they're expanded on their own. there's no rhyme or reason from what I can tell. how can we get them to always be expanded?

behavior
That is a pretty odd behavior. My first week I noticed the extended preview of messages, but now it seems that they are always the sheet version. I wonder if dumping app storage would rejuvenate the experience.

On aosp all you had to do was swipe down on any collapse notification to give the expanded version. On sense it apparently doesn't work that way and I've yet to find a way to get to expanded other than the top most notification.

You can pinch to expand or shrink the notifications. Supposed to be the same motion in 4.1+.

i figured out why it doesn't do it...
because of that stupid WIFI nag! when you do the trick to temp get rid of it (hold it down, hit app info, force close), then every first notification that defaults to the top IS expanded, every time. now i need to root to get rid of that nag!

Coming from 4s/Evo LTE - pre-emptive concerns

Had the iPhone 4s for about 6 months and had the EVO LTE for the past 3 weeks. Before my iPhone, I had the EVO 3D and EVO 4G. I found love for both phones, which is why I want to switch to the White S3. Seems like a potential great hybrid. However, there are some things I'm forseeing as a possible problem. Hopefully, there are ways around.
~When using exchange eMail, many of my eMails have pics integrated into them. My iPhone showed the pics as part of the eMail. EVO's make me download each pic as separate files. Can the S3 do it like my iPhone?
~What are the tactile buttons on the S3? I thought the one on the left was the menu button, but was told that was wrong. With that, how do you multi-task without the button and what is the button on the left?
~When playing music through my car stereo with my EVO LTE and I change songs, there is a weird digital noise blip. Anyone notice this with the S3?
~What's so horrible about TouchWiz that are sending people into Frenzy's in other threads? Personally, I think TouchWiz makes the phone look more like iOS.
~On the launch bar, is there a way to move where the apps launcher drawer is? I like it in the middle. Is that customizable?
Again, these are small things that I like, and any help is greatly appreciated

1. Not sure since I use Gmail and in the Gmail app, the attachments are on the bottom of the email and I can open them up individually.
2. Left button is the menu button. You multi task by long pressing the home physical button.
3. No sound issues whatsoever. Played great in the car.
4. To me TouchWiz is a little cartoonish but it doesn't bother me as much as others. But I think because it looks like iOS that's the reason people really hate it .
5. No way to move the apps launcher icon to the middle, but you can get a launcher if that's a big deal.

Thank you for the answers. The have prompted for two more:
~If the menu button is one of the physical buttons, does that mean that the apps are aware of this and don't allocate the bottom of the screen for it as well. That bottom 5% where it's all black, except for the menu icon that is. I feel that would be dumb
~If I do root, which I have never done before, does that interfere with updates that come out? The reason I ask is, I may want to switch dialers, where the app drawer launcher is, and a few other minor things
Again, thank you so far

Yes, they recognize it and there is no on-screen menu button.

The touch keys on either side of the physical home key are recognized throughout the entire OS, apps included.
Also you do not need to root in order to use a different Launcher [to change app launcher location).
On screen buttons have so far only been used on the Galaxy nexus, so the screen space on the S3 is purely for whatever your doing on it.
Also in case your still confused on multitasking, Holding down Home (physical middle button) brings up your running/recent apps, in which you can A: tap the one you want to go to or B: close them out by sweeping them left or right just like the notifications.
And the new touchwiz allows lock screen shortcuts now, just throwing that out there since your coming from an Evo background.

Dont worry about updates
If you root you will get an update saying that update is available but you can't install it but you can always unroot and install

When update is coming you don't need unroot dev can update with unroot method.

Any way to show notifications from the bottom up?

Coming from phones with smaller screens, I like to be able to drag down the notification bar enough to see who the email is from or what the notification is about, without having to pull it all the way down and back up. With the bigger screen on the EVO LTE, I'm wondering if there is a way to show the notifications starting at the bottom, so I can see them with only a slight pull on the bar, instead of having to drag all the way down.
Anyone know? Don't think it matters, but I'm on Meanrom 1.4 with S-Off.
THANKS
When CM9 or 10 is available to us you can enable tablet mode and it will place your notification bar on the bottom.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You can just flick the notification bar down, you don't have to drag it the full length of the screen. All it takes is about the width of the bar itself to send it down or back up. I know that's not an answer to your question, but it's an option.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Figure I'd bump this rather than start a new thread. I'd also love to be able to have the notification bar at the bottom of the screen, within easy reach of my thumb without requiring me to fumble with the phone. Is there any sort of standalone mod that will do this while I'm waiting for ParanoidAndroid to eventually (hopefully) make its way to the EVO LTE.
There is a WIP paranoid android ROM in the original development section. Works great and loving the ROM.

Well hey look at that! Thanks for the heads up -- I must've completely missed it.
You could also use a custom launcher and set the 1 finger pull-down to open the notification menu. Though trying to reach the settings and clear button are still impossible unless you have fingers like ET.

Yeah - I've already got it so that it pulls down with a quick swipe. My problem is the location of the Power Controls and the Clear button.
I tried PA on my phone but I didn't like the implementation; it's much better on my n7. Even at the biggest settings, the notification panel is just too small on the Evo.
All I really want is a perfect vertical mirror of the notification bar as it is now. In other words, still full screen, it just swipes upward and all the buttons are at the bottom of the screen. I'm actually a little surprised it's not an existing mod / feature, considering how many massive phones there are now and how many of us don't have spindly alien fingers.

[Q] New to Android couple questions (battery/setting)

I finally got my HTC One today after calling T-mobile and ordering over the phone, loving this phone and glad I got rid of my iPhone 4. I am currently charging my One, first charge so far and I have a few questions just to make sure everything is good and perhaps making my life easier.
1. Easier way to force quit an app - I was on GSam Bat and had 93.5% apps using battery, I'm figuring that is too high, at least for me.
2. How to enable 4G/3G - Coming from iOS I saw a enable 3G button, making it easy to toggle it, I've only seen 4G on my notification bar too
3. An app that has a bunch of toggles for wifi/gps/data ect - Something as similar as SBSettings, being able to add on for what I prefer.
And if anyone has other tips for a FNG, I'd greatly appreciate it if you posted it.
hey welcome, for the third question I would recommend Power Toggles or Notification Toggles those are my two favorites. try them out on the play store or try searching for a notification widget.

There are stock data and power widgets already in your phone Push and hold a blank area on a homescreen, choose widgets, and they're in there.

Lacking functionality? Lets see...settings, mobile data on/off, wifi on/off, auto sync, roaming on/off, brightness control, GPS on/off, bluetooth on/off...the only thing missing is flashlight. Not what I would call "lacking functionality".
OP: to force close an app, double tap the home button to bring up all your open apps. Simply swipe the app you want to close, and it will.

I'm using power toggles from the Play store, because it allows one to have the toggles on the notification bar. The built in ones have to be on the desktop screen as widgets, which doesn't help when one is inside an app and needs to toggle something.
Yeah, I ended up getting Power Toggles, I like it more and it works great.

Notification Shade/Quick Settings Mod?

I wonder if there is a way to have it where you swipe on the right hand side of the notification shade to bring down the quick settings instead of having to use two fingers?
I believe the tablets have this option and not sure if this can be done to our beautiful device

There's no device setting for that. I'm sure once rom development starts to pick up more and you have root, there will be an option for that like there was on the m7.

[Feature Request] Floating window/Hover

Hi guys,
since I didn't found any way to do so, I wanted to ask if it's possible to implement a way to fully disable floating windows, but keep the hover notification system. Also a way to exclude non clear-able notification from hover.
Greets
Another feature that I think would come in handy is swiping away a floating window/hover notification.
What I find annoying is that hover notif appears for approx 5 sec (too long if you ask me, would like to adjust it) and then disappars and sometimes I forget about them :///

You mean swiping the away that "hover window", but don't swipe away the notification itself?
That would be nice too.
I thought about a possibility of swiping both od them, floating window and hover notification.
