I need to find a "ghost" notification - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded from an LG G4 to a G6. I set the phone up as a new device and did not do a restore from the G4 or from any other device. I installed my apps one-by-one.
Just recently, the phone started playing the default notification sound and I am unable to determine what app might be triggering the sound. Is there any way to determine what app is triggering the notification? Is there a log somewhere?
The attached file is a screen shot of my notification shade.

Hello
as a first step i would recommend a cache cleaning:
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings
Tap Storage
Under device storage tap Internal storage
Wait for the menu options to finish calculating
Tap Cached data > clear
Wait for the cached data to clear; depending on size, it will take several seconds to complete.
Reboot device
=============================================================
Goto settings > accessibility > Turn off notification reminder. -if enabled-
=============================================================
Hangouts and Gmail are reported to cause this problem please check your gmail inbox incase there are new messages coming to you each time this happens as well as Hangouts if you are using it.

I suspect it's something to do with "location services" "... we've located you...."

Yes, but since it happens intermittently I don't know if this resolved the issue.

[HOW TO][ANY ROM] Install and Configure Halo

Posted this in the Sprint One section and thought i'd share with y'all also
I saw a lot of people not knowing how to configure it, so here's how I got it to work
1. Install Floating Notifications and enable it in the Accesibility menu.
2. Select the box labeled "Launch Apps in Halo Mode"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Go to the app notifications menu and check which ones you want it to notify you for. HINT: if you want a real halo experience the rightmost icon in the app list will make the icon stay floating.
4. This is a personal preference: Go to Customize in Floating Notifications and select "Dock after a few seconds of inactivity" and then at the bottom set "Amount of the icon hidden when docked:" to 55%. If it is more than 55% then you will have trouble clicking the stack.
5. REBOOT PHONE.
Now for the Xposed part.
1. Install Xposed Framework
2. REBOOT PHONE.
3. Go into Xposed Installer and go to "Downloads" and select XHaloFloatingWindow, and then install it.
4. REBOOT PHONE.
5. Go into Xposed Installer and go into "Modules" and check the box "XHaloFloatingWindow".
6. For safe measure REBOOT PHONE. And then you're done
Lemme know if y'all need any help!
Also on the reboots it hung on the splash for a while.
Oh yeah not responsible if your device catches fire.
If you're having a problem with the stock messenger app look here:
ticklemepinks said:
using this will make the sense stock messager app from working properly as you won't be able to see the "SEND" button in the halo window
*correction* you just have to change the height of portrait 0.8 or at least for me, maybe this doesn't happen with other ppl.

Help: Syncing after first turn-on

Hello,
When you first open a new phone ( in my case galaxy s8+ ), you are prompted to enter your google account.
if you have a backup you'll get the following screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In case you chose not to enter a Google account at this stage, and you decided to do it later, you won't get this option.
for example, you will be able to sync contacts if you enter a Google account later, but you won't be able to restore your applications or call history.
I couldn't find inside the settings how to perform this special first-run syncing. is there a way to perform it without factory reset?
Maybe sending an intent with ADB to the app that is responsible for it?
Thanks,
Ana
anyone?

There is a option in Google drive app to manage device backup, I think you can restore it from there, not 100% sure but I think I saw an option like that on the app.

Sorry but I don't think you can without resetting your phone, or at least I have not heard or read about anyone restoring from drive without resetting. You can install apps from the store and restore the app data automatically after installing, I think the option is in the backup and reset section in the settings menu of the device.

Download Manager notifications missing in honour 8x

I had recently disabled the notifications of download manager. I managed to do this by holding down on the notification of play store download progress and going to the settings from the icon that appeared next to it. But now I want to re-enable the notifications but I can't find download manager in the list of applications in the settings. Please help me.
Now all I get while downloading an app from play store is the download completed notification. I can't see the notification showing the progress of the download. Please help....
Go to settings, apps, 3 dots, show system apps, android set up app and clear data. Also clear data for play store and relaunch and see the behaviour. However, it may not show the download progress from play store but it will display if updates are available or not, apps installed, apps updated etc.

EMUI does not show android setup application in the list of apps and there is no option to show system apps like you said. Also, I already have the update available and apps installed/updated notification. I want to get back the download progress notification.

Yeah sorry I got it. There was an option at the bottom to show system processes. I think I've fixed it. Thanks for the help.

I just can't install anything on my phone. Redmi 5

Idk when this issue started to happen, but it's so frustrating. App updates, Google Play install, apk install, nothing works.
For Google Play, the download hits 100% and then just redownload until the error "this app can't be installed" pops up, every single time. And for apk install, hitting "install" reveals the installation bar for a brief moment, then a black screen shows up and it just stays there until I exit out from the installation.
I'm wondering if this a memory problem or not, since my phone has been sitting at 65-70% when idling for quite a while. Even more so, could this be because of corruption?

Question Soft rebooting

My unlocked s23 ultra on Verizon keeps doing what I call a 'soft reboot'. What I mean by this, is all connections drop (Bluetooth, wiif, calls, etc.) all notifications are removed, and I have to unlock my phone as if it was just rebooted or turned on (pin required). It takes only 10ish seconds, so it is not a hard reboot, and my adb settings stay turned on (used for Tasker). Are there logs I cam review (Tasker's shows nothing) or some tool to track what is causing this?
i think every 72 hours you have to enter your pin again for security reasons, if it gets stolen or something.
If thats the case its not a soft reboot it just requires you to enter your pin again.

Thank you, but what I am experiencing clears all open apps, closes all open radios (phone, Bluetooth, wifi, etc), clears all notifications, stops any of my running widgets (like a weather notification and a traffic analyzer) and the password screen indicates I have to enter my password at boot up (or something similar, I can try and get a picture)
Is "Restart when needed" option activated in Device care -> Auto optimisation?
Try in safe mode. If it doesn't happen then there's an app causing the issue. If it happens contact Samsung support
