Notification BEFORE upcoming alarm. Can I disable this? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I just picked up my new G5 a few days ago and absolutely love this phone. I'm coming out of a G2 which I also loved, so this phone is exactly what I wanted...a bigger, better, badder, faster G2 with a much faster camera. Mission accomplished! There is one thing though which is annoying the crap out of me. I'm guessing it's part of marshmallow since my G2 didn't do this. I use the stock clock widget which gives me quick access to alarms, world clock, stopwatch and countdown timer, all things which I actually use regularly. However, it now pops up a notification in the tray TWO HOURS BEFORE the set alarm time, informing you that you have an upcoming alarm, and asking if you want to dismiss it now! [/run on sentence] Really? If I wanted to be notified two hours earlier, I'd have set the alarm two hours earlier! You can swipe it away, but it comes back. I can't find a way to turn off this function and neither could the LG tech support guy. No I do not wish to root the phone. I like the stock widget except for this one feature which is new apparently. Anyone know a way to disable just this function?

Try disabling notifications for the app while long presing it on the notification bar

Nope. All notification settings in the app are already turned off. Still does it.

Try to long press the notification and disable it

Wake on notifications (Notifier Pro)

Has anyone gotten Notifier Pro or a similar app to work with the Note 2 (T-Mobile)? Its supposed to wake the phone and put a little banner on top with a quick line or two about the notification, basically like an iPhone's reaction. Unfortunately this app doesn't do anything when I get an email or install apps. I have every single app selected to trigger the action but I have no luck. I did activate the service in Accessibility options. It also works fine if you're using the phone already (phone isn't locked/sleeping). I did find an app that wakes the phone on notifications but without a little summary banner that's pretty useless.

stop notifications from lighting up screen?

notifications waking up the screen are killing me.. if my phones in my pocket and the screen wakes up, then every step i take, my thigh hits the screen and keeps it awake for hours till i check the phone or it dies first..
sometimes when i get certain notifications, such as low battery, it keeps the screen on indefinitely (ironicly battery warning is a huge battery killer lol..), so does charger connected/disconnected.
anyways there's my rant, my question is,
; has anybody come across a way to stop the screen from turning on when getting a notification? it already lights up, vibrates, has a smart reminder option, and a led indicator, I'd really love to stop the screen from lighting up.
ill give 'Thanks' to anyone throwing out suggestions

are you talking about the sms app? use a custom one
SMS app is one culprit, so is email, Google talk, battery notifications, LINE messager, and a zillion other 3rd party apps.. itd be much more realistic to find a lock screen off solution, or remove the service that lets apps lightup the screen

Easy fix, get SMS popup app, go into the stock SMS app and disable notifications, now go into the SMS popup app and in notifications , click and enable notifications. Now go into additional settings and unchecked screen on for pop-up . That's it, you'll get notifications without the screen turning on.

interesting. let's wait till OP tries it
Soraxd,
What lock screen do you use?
I have a good workaround, but it involves using WidgetLocker lock screen which is hands down the most killer optioned lock screen around.
Let me know if your interested.

i am interested, ? actually purchased widget locker in the past. it just seems to unlock slower than stock lockscreen, so i stopped using it when i got my s3. what's the option?
in the mean time ill try the SMS app and report back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
soraxd,
Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.
Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.
Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)
First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.
Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".

[Q] Notification Preview

Morning all
Is there a way to get notification previews on the lock screen on the Z2? (Pop up box in center screen a la ios)
Have had a quick search on here and couldn't find any info, also been through a load of settings etc but havent stumbled across it.
I assumed it would be an option, without having to download another app.
Any help appreciated!

You'll have to wait for Android L or use an app like Knock².

Edit: Turns out the feature you want is not yet released in Knock, and will only be available in a later version. Sorry bout that.

This is a response on another forum I did but it suits this situation so it's just a copy and past. Wasn't sure if you meant a response to sms or just notifications but both are covered.
You have 2 options really. I just am using them both as had enough of the standard text app telling me I had a message after I read it in the notification bar (there is a easier way but I liked all programs so kept using them). There are other apps but I use Chomp SMS to replace the standard messaging app. This will give you the option of reply bubble without going into the messaging app like Iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms&hl=en
Other options are Textra, GoSMS, Handcent...
But I have taken it on set further and use Nils which without the quick reply of Chomp SMS to give me the listed messages on the lockscreen as a widget. You can then just go straight to the message app from the lockscreen to answer if you hold and swipe.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en
This will become redundant once we get 4.4.4 where it become standard in android.
If you just looking after preview you could go one or the other without getting both. I liked ChompSMS so matched it with nils. Also can use Icon Changer if you dont like the Icon for Chomp SMS which I will probably do.
All programs are free and available from the Play store. And you keep the original lock screen as I like the unlock method as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll check these out for sure.
Its funny, having been ios for 5 years, there are little things I miss.
What I don't miss is the godawful piece of trash known as 'iTunes'!!
(My main reason for ditching my iPhone, the other being I love my Nexus 7 and my little Nook HD)
Also just read up on Android L, lets hope the update rolls out to us Z2 users swiftly!
Thanks Again

You can enable the Android L feature already if you are rooted.
I have it and it's brilliant. Root the phone, install Xposed, install Heads Up Notifications, and voila.
I also have Light Flow installed (this doesn't require root). This basically turns on your phone's screen when you receive a notification (you can customise it to decide which notifications you want). It used to really annoy me how the Z2 didn't turn on when a notification was received.
Now, thanks to xposed, Heads Up Notifications and Light Flow (lite), I have the perfect setup.
Have a question hope you can help. I was getting weird text from a random number the other day so I blocked it. But in doing so I block all my messages notification so it does not tell me when I have a message. I've been trying to undo it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you

Pop-up Notifications When V30 Always On is activated?

Is there a way to get notifications to pop-up when the always on display is active?
You get the icon above the clock. Are you wanting a whole heads up notification or something? The screen to turn on? I don't think there is an option for something like that. At least I haven't seen one.

Yes - I would prefer a pop-up notification for text messages, emails. Was hoping there was a setting I was missing to be able to allow this.
Thanks.

It only shows an icon. I wish it showed the actual message Like Pixel does. but it does not. If your main concern is text messages you can download something like Textra which has an option to wake up the phone when I message arrives. Then you will see the message.

Is there somewhere an app that will also show pop-up messages? Using the Outlook app for example...I find it totally worthless that I get a notification sound but absolutely no popup. I don't want to have to pull the notification center down, I just want a pop up showing the message that I just received.
On that note, I *HATE* how the lock screen INSISTS on combining notifications from an app. If I get 10 emails, I want to see 10 separate notification entries, damn it.
Using Android....is, well, annoying. I shouldn't have to download apps just to make everything work. No wonder my wife rejected the V30 and went back to iOS.

Believe it or not Android is getting better and better with how notifications are handled and how they can be custom tailored per each app. The usage of the notification center is that way for a reason for quick and easy access to your notifications without completely interrupting the user. The cool thing is that there are other apps that you can use in order to adjust the phone to perform how you want it. Android is all about customization. You can have it the way it comes from the manufacturer or you can add apps to customize your experience. For this reason it may take an Android user longer to initially set up a phone vs a iUser.
Good luck.

Power Shade App - Truly Amazing

Hi everyone,
I came across this new app showcased by YouTuber, Mrwhosetheboss in his recent video called Power Shade and oh boy has it revamped my whole notification shade!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3zyFC0pc9I&t=3s
I figured you guys would love it too and decided to share.
Link to App: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/treydev-inc/
I don't know why it's not on the Play Store, I emailed the developer complimenting and asking why it's not on the Play Store, will post back here when I get a response.
I came across this Google Sans font in the app itself and it looks amazing on my notification shade, would anyone know how to get the Google Sans font for my whole device?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Power Shade is truly AMAZING app for Android (No Root Needed)
https://youtu.be/uhIRuamiKoo
Powershade is Amazing! Funny how you got Android Sans also. We think alike. I emailed the dev also as it was in the Play Store and has only just recently been removed..no response though. The issue is however that a lot of the quick setting toggles you will notice dont work or take you straight to settings, eg Hotspot and the accessory permission will revert from time to time. Apart from that it gives the mate 20 pro a beautiful refresh from that horrid emui
Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from
That’s usually an indication to me that the accessibility service has been disabled. It frequently disables for some reason, I sorta fixed that by turning offf all the battery optimisation etc for the app. Both ways through battery settings and special app permissions OTE=TeeKay35;78482099]Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from[/QUOTE]
I just found it on the play store again
Once I give the app Accessibility permissions, I get an "1" as in an "unread notification" permanently stuck in my status bar. If I revoke the permission the notification goes away, but the app doesn't work any longer.
Does anyone know how to make that "1" go away ?
I tried this app but ended up uninstalling it. It's an interesting idea but I noticed that it negatively impacted the performance of my phone. Scrolling within several apps (including Google Play) was less smooth when this app was running as an accessibility service and returned to normal after this app was no longer running.
I also didn't like that it created an overlay not just over the notification shade but also over the system tray. I think the default Huawei system tray with dark theme enabled looks way better than the one this app creates.
I use the 4 button navigation tray option (the 4th button pulls down notifications as an alternative to swiping from the top of the screen) + the built in option to hide the display notch.
Using these options the notification pull down was smooth from the top of the screen but when using the navigation button instead there was a flash of white on either side of the notch every time notifications were pulled down.
Problem with this app was i started getting poor battery life out of my phone since the installation of this app. Avoid it
I have no battery problems with this app.
my phone it´s normal since i installed this app.
When making an app a device administrator there is often a performance hit or other problems like battery drain. I definitely noticed a performance hit while running this app but the results might be better for some people than I had. As a rule of thumb you want to give as few apps as possible device administrator priveledges.
Installed it, give all permission, untick from 'Launch' in Battery settings, all works flawlessly. No battery drop because of using it, no performance drop & power shade all the time when i slide down (no more emui stock notification). This is by far the most theme changing using the restricted Emui 9. Good!
Any trouble with it causing problems with screenshot features, mine freezes on knuckle gesture and goes to screen recording from the drop quick panel.

Where is the option for auto brightness?
Hello guys, thanks for sharing power shade with us!
I've got a problem with the toggles, I press on the data one to switch it on but it doesn't switch it on and I have to press and hold to activate it manually.
Anyone experiencing that?
Nice app - I used to use Material Notification Shade back in the day when I was on a Nougat ROM on my S7 Edge, it wasn't compatible with Android O though, but now I can resume using it on Android P
The dev says he's going to try to get it back on the Play Store soon so that the pro features can be unlocked.
It would be great if he can fix the screenshot issues when selecting from the drop down quick panel. It just keeps going to record screen instead, but actually freezes up. I've sent numerous emails highlighting the error.

Just double tap the screen using your knuckle to take screenshot.

I know but that doesn't always work especially when there are screens that if you tap once they open a link like the Google feed cards.
