Hi all!
I will try to keep it short, I can't find out how to disable the 'magnifying bar' while selecting text that I typed in Facebook, WhatsApp, ColorNote, Chrome (url bar) etc. Basically everywhere. Tried switching keyboards, wasn't the 'cause'. Tried looking trough settings etc. (especially the 'Accessibility' settings) but I couldn't find an option to disable it. Also, I don't think I have any apps installed that can cause this. Here's a screenshot of the 'problem': http://imgur.com/a/uGvpa
You can see that a 'magnifying bar' appeared above the text I am selecting at that moment, it's only there when I'm holding it. I can also move my finger while holding and the 'magnifying bar' follows. It only works on text I've typed, so not on static text like emails or something.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 running on Android 7.0 with Samsung Experience 8.1. I hope that someone can help me with this
Thanks in advance!

Somewhere along the line, while side-loading apk's and just generally having a good time, my default notification sound changed to an old cellphone sounding ring.
I searched the Nook Color forum and found reports of a similar problem but no solution. Someone did include a zip of the audio file in question though, which is what I'm hearing now, too.

Has anyone else run into this and is there an easy fix?
Thanks in advance!
When i installed google voice i think it changed, but I changed it my self shortly after.
In google voice hit the menu button, then it 'More'. A seemingly Blank menu appears.
In reality this menu actually just has White text on a white background. If you press what would be the top option in that menu, it brings you to the apps settings. Where you can change the notification sounds.

Thanks for the reply!
Isn't that an app specific setting for Google Voice? I have a similar setting for Enhanced Email and while it successfully changes the notifications for that app the other system notifications are still "Default Ringtone" which sounds like an old cellphone.
I might be misunderstanding how it works, though.
So it seems to be the stock email client where the notification issue is most noticeable. If I use a different client I can configure the notification sound but the default client *always* uses this default ringtone thing.
Do I need to wait until this is rooted and then just rename some system audio files?
So I watching WWDC 2014 yesterday and really liked the Actionable Notification for SMS (dont care about other apps). IMO, its an essential part of phone and I really liked this feature. Anyways, for months now I been trying to find a popup quick reply app that lets me quick reply from lockscreen on my Nexus 5 running CM11. Some stuff I found was SMS popup which didnt work to good on handling multiple messages. I used EvolveSMS for a long time since it would unlock the screen to show you the popup sms and once you hit send it would bring you back to lock screen. However I was looking for something like ChompSMS where it did that but it gave me option to customize my popup menu, I have to option to open, close, reply, delete etc (I can customize buttons) for my popup screen. Plus I can swipe from one message to another if multiple are popping up at the same time. However I was more in line of something Apple introduced, simple and yet elegant, just sms straight from notification bar, pull down and type.
Anything like that?
Hello Guys,
I have for some quite time the Elephone S8 and read the whole forum related articles here. I am still on stock Android 7.1.1. with the patch from September 5th 2017
I am constantly with headphones and since our phone doesn't have a notification LED, I was thinking of an option to get easily notified when I receive a notification from a "messenger" type applications. Some application light up the phone by default ( Viber for example, and WhatsApp also ), but Messenger and other related like Telegram, Slack or Microsoft Teams don't do it.
I noticed that in Settings --> Display on the bottom there is an option "Active Display"
I have tried to enable and disable it with various display setting configurations, and still I was not able to make this function work. I have also tried to install several 3rd party apps to try to do it = no luck as you guess.
Can some1 briefly describe if this function is actually existing in the Android Build for the phone, or it's just a simple label in the Settings - like the "open hall" option next to it.
Thank you in advance for the reply guys, LOVE THE XDA COMMUNITY <3
You might want to look for an app called noled. Works fine for me.
Several apps I have installed like to post momentary notifications when they perform something in the background (presumably so they don't get killed). These notifications bug the crap out of me and I'd like to disable their respective notification channels. However, they don't appear long enough for me to lower the notification shade and long press on them. So I have tried to determine what channel they come from using numerous notification history apps, but none of these apps have been able to show me what channel the notifications are from. Does anyone know of one of these apps that does show the channel or some other way to determine what channel the notifications come from?

Hi,
Maybe you could try to check in the stock notification history. To find it go to widgets and create a setting shortcut. There will be a list which will contain "Notification Log" or smt like that. Create the shortcut and when you'll see those fast notification just check your history right away. In the best case you'll find the channel, but if you're not lucky, you'll still got the app that does it and turn all its notification off (if it is really annoying)
Have a good day

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S20+ so the settings shortcut doesn't work. I have no difficulty getting the offending application, there are dozens of apps that will show a notification history, but I've been unable to find one that shows the notification channel.

If the settings shortcut method doesn't work, I don't have any other alternatives. I've never heard of an app that could retrieve the Channel, but I knew that it was possible to have the Channel ID in the notification log. In Android 11, this "notification history" feature will be added, and you'll have much more infos than right now.
Use the good lock app "Nice Catch".
Hello,
I don't know if this is a bug, a "feature" or just my device but would anyone be able to check their "Call & Text on other devices" Quick Panel icon to see if it toggles the feature on or off and let me know? Mine takes me to the settings. I used to have it enabled all the time on my phone and I would toggle it on the tablet as required. That way I get to enable it only when I need to use it on the tablet.
Since migrating to my S23 U from my S22 U and updating my tablet to One UI 5.1, the option now takes me to the settings page instead of simply toggling the feature. This is the case on both the phone and the tablet (S8 +) so I think it's either a bug or a "feature"
Thanks in advance
I don't have a S23u, but a S22u and tab s8 ultra...my s22u was setup with call & text with the tabs s8ultra. worked like a charm. My s22u screen broke and sent in for repairs. I used an old s9+ lying around. For some reason it asked me to change to s9+ for call & text. I ignored the pop up...when I got my s22u back call & text was disabled. When opening call & text I had to re-register/configure my s22u for call & text as it automatically changed it to my s9+, although it never worked on s9+. After changing settings it worked on s22u and tab s8u. re-register/configure call & text

Yes, the same. The icon is not activated (disabled) although the function itself is enabled. When pressed, it jumps to the Settings of this function, where Calls on other devices and Messages on other devices are now separated. In Calls, my GW5Pro watch and in Messages - empty!
Google messages has this bug that keeps any notice below sms screen flickering forever.
Looks like they modified the Quick Panel icon to take you to the settings so that you can toggle individual options i.e. call and/or text on other devices. I can see how that could be useful but I really miss the ability to simply keep the feature "on" on the phone and toggle it on/off on the tablet as required.
I would have preferred two icons one to toggle calls and one to toggle texts if they wanted to give users the option instead of the extra steps especially since it's called the Quick Panel for a reason lol
Thanks for looking guys. I really appreciate it
