[Q] How to Stop Text Message Alerts - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me start of by apologizing for a noonb question I haven't used an android since the s2 skyrocket. I installed Textra for my sms/mms application but I cannot figure out how to disable my texts from popping up I still want to be alerted with a sound/vibrate and the notification light just not have them pop right up on my device. How can this be done ?

[Q] Can an MMS text turn data connection on automatically?

when someone sends you a picture, video or group text message, it comes in as a multimedia message (MMS). when connected to wi-fi only, the message comes into your messaging "in" box, but the audible notification does not ding, nor does the message text completely download. (this on the stock android 4.4.2 text messaging app.)
however, as soon as you turn your data on, both the audible notification rings and the full message text comes thru.
my question: is there any setting available that will automatically turn the data on when an mms message arrives? if so, where is it found? or is there a workaround that will do this?
if not, well, that's just dumb.....
thanks!

Galaxy S6 Edge notification issues

Hello Android community!
As the title says, I am having some issues with notifications on my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.
The version I use, is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, G925FXXU4DPGW and the model number is SM-G925F.
The problem is this:
Whenever I receive a notification from certain apps, it shows the pop-up window like normally, however, the notification does not stick in the notifications drawer, so, if I am not using the phone at the the time, I don't know if I received any new notifications, plus, there is not any notification sound either, and the phone just randomly vibrates from time to time, even when the screen is on, and sometimes without any pop-up window.
This is happening with Facebook, YouTube, and almost every downloaded app I have, but it is not happening with messages and phone calls. Whenever I receive a message or a phone call, the phone rings and vibrates like it should and I see the messages at the notification drawer but not the phone calls.
Any idea on how this happened and how to solve it? I still haven't tried a hard reset but I would like to avoid it and don't know if it will work either.
Please help me and sorry about my english but it is not my first language.
Thank you

[HELP] Whatsapp and GMail: I don't receive notifications when phone is in deep sleep

Android Nougat 7.1.1
I excluded Whatsapp and GMail from battery optimization (doze), I set the notifications to level 4, ensured that there is no data restriction for these apps; however most of the time to see notifications I have to wake up the phone from deep sleep (by turning on the screen): in facts, most of the time when I wake up the phone, after some seconds I receive a lot of old notifications and missed calls of Whatsapp and also emails of GMail/Inbox.
I also tried by not closing whatsapp, but leaving its window in background, but nothing solved this major issue.
In developer options, under active applications section, whatsapp and GMail are not always present (after a while they falls in "background applications", which, to from what I heard, is ok).
I also heard that to keep an app always active (if we are without root) there is the need to have a persistent notification, but Whatsapp and GMail are not provided with such option.
On another phone with Lollipop 5.0, a phone which I rooted, I had the same issue which I solved by using "Push Notification Fixer", but on the phone with Nougat (an Xperia) I can't/won't enable the root (otherwise I will lost the camera's DRM); since "Push Notification Fixer (PNF)" on the rooted phone was able to solve the issue, I suspect that the culprit is GCM (Google Cloud Messaging)? by using PNF on the rooted phone I set the "heartbeat" to 5 mins.
I know that there's also a "no root" version of PNF, but doesn't works reliable for me.
So: maybe there is a way to always keep Whatsapp and GMail In running apps or there is another workaround/fix?
Thanks.

Well, since yesterday I installed an app called "Recurrent Notification Manager" which is able to intercept notifications from apps which I choosed (Whatsapp and Inbox) and the most notable thing is that this app is provided with a persistent notification: I noticed that when I receive a Whatsapp message, is firstly reported by this app instead of whatsapp. What I mean:
First of all: I inserted whatsapp inside this app by choosing a green color of the led and a personal sound.
1) I send a messagge to myself from another phone after a while of deep sleep (eg 1 hour)
2) I receive a notification after few seconds
3) I wake up the phone and I see a notification from "Recurrent Notification Manager" but nothing from whatsapp itself
4) I open whatsapp and I receive the message.
Well, this behaviour, at least, seems to make me able to immediately receive notifications.
I will keep on do tests and I hope that this app really solved the bothersome issue.

I'm sorry for the noise: I'm updating step by step this thread to notice every single action that seems to help.
In "Recurrent Notification Manager" app, I also set to monitor "ongoing notifications"; these appear to be the notifications that Whatsapp often displays before of receiving a message, when it says "Checking new messages" and "You may have new messages" (I'm not very sure about the English grammar since I have the Italian language set on my phone) : I often see these notifications before receiving a message and sometimes I also have to wait some minutes, to receive a message: "Recurrent Notification Manager" will send me a "real notification" when Whatsapp shows only these "early notifications"; in facts, as I've said, when I receive a new message, the first notification is from the notification manager instead of Whatsapp.

notifications issues with mate 10 pro

Hi
i have some issues with the mate 10 pro notifications. especially with whatsapp -
from time to time my phone starts the whatsapp incoming massage ringtone (or vibration if its on vibrate mode) and stops halfway through the tone - when i open my phone i see no notification whatsoever.
i came to understand that this happens when i receive whatsapp massages from group chats that are muted (with notifications set to 'do not show notifications') - not every massage from those groups does that but from time to time when its happening its because of those massages (sometime i can see a push notification from those muted chats that disappears quickly - its as if my phone forgets those chats should not give notifications and reminds that after its starting to vibrate and ring)
this is extremely annoying as im getting those vibrates or notification sound even though im not suppose to.
did someone else experienced that? and maybe succeeded fixing that?
bump
anyone?

I don't have a solution, but I have similar issues with WhatsApp notifications. Usually I don't get the LED flashing, but I do see a notification when the phone is unlocked. Occasionally, I get no LED and no notification when the phone is unlocked. These phones have great hardware but rubbish software
Not a Huawei specific issue, had the same bull**** with WhatsApp on both the A8 and the Pixel 2 XL. Was OK on the Mate 10 and S9+.
I assumed it was a Huawei issue, as it's worked perfectly on every other phone that I and my wife have owned. The Huawei software has a habit of killing background processes, even when you tell it not to, so it seemed a reasonable assumption.

Allow notification sounds for app only if there is no notification one after another?

Hello,
I like having notifications for all apps turned on, but there is pretty annoying stuff going on in all messaging apps we have.
For example
-if someone is sending you texts or messages via messenger, whatsapp, or viber or anything else, you are getting constant notifications sound everyfew seconds.
-if you have group messages and people are sending messages you constantly getting notifications
My question is, is there a way you could enable for all apps that: If you receive notification from app X and get notification sound, and if you get another notification from the same app, the sound does not happen because it is such short time before last and this notification. And we could setup for example allow sound only after there was 1min or 5 min after last notification sound, when it allows for the sound to happen again.
That way you could receive notification sound only every 1min or 5min or whatever you setup, if you have group chat and people are constantly typing something. Because if not, you are getting the sound every 3seconds.
I hope you understand and can help with this
Thank you
