Expanding Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I've noticed a few notification types display on a single line by default like the wireless charging notification. Is there a way to have these display expanded by default? Would be nice to see the charging percentage and time to finish without expanding the notification. Thanks.

I'd like to know the opposite. Can I make notifications that are displayingsas two lines only use one?

notification light with handcent

so i'm a hancent fan... i like the lockscreen pop up messages for new incoming text messages. i usually reply from them as well.
when doing that on the inc4g i've noticed the notification led continues to blink at me like i have an unread message. i'm assuming i can turn off the led notification completely in handcent (i do not want to do that)... or wait for the handcent devs to fix this?
I use handcent as well. I do not have that issue. Did you turn off all notifications in the stock app? Uncheck them before unchecking notifications

I don't think it's a Handcent issue. I use GoSMS and I'm seeing the same issue, although it seems to be sporadic.
All notifications from the stock messaging app are turned off.

I've notified it doing it sometimes with Chomp too. Pulling the notification bar down turns off the LED for me.
yes, opening the notification bar clears it - which defeats the time savings of replying from the popup on the lock screen
i also have turned off the stock notifications.
thanks - at least it's nice to see i'm not the only one with this issue...
speaking of notification bar - on my old inc i always hit the menu button, then notification instead of dragging the bar down from the top of the screen. does anyone know of a way to make a shortcut or something on the inc4g? only way i can find to open the notification bar is to actually drag it from the top of the screen.... is there any other way?
It's included in Viper Rom, but you'll need root to change that.

What do you use for Notifications?

Coming from a LGv20, where I used the following combo: Cute little bar at the top showed time & an icon for missed notifications (similar to the Always On Display), and an app called Dynamic Notifications.
The idea on the 2 of those, was: If I got a notification while I was able to look at my phone, Dynamic would show it to me, along with a preview of what the message is. You can slide to open it, ignore it for now, or delete it (depending on the app). If I wasn't looking at my phone, I'd at least see an icon on the top bar so I knew to go look.
AOD does fine for the time & you missed a notification, but when I get one, and my phone is sitting next to me, it's annoying to unlock the phone to check the notification.
Sadly, AOD & Dynamic notifications don't seem to work well together.

Now when the phone is on, I'm not getting my heads-up notifications, and I don't know i the LG did it on its own..o what. So I'm using an app called Heads-up at the moment. Heads-up also has a turn-on-phone feature, so I'm testing it and AOD display as a combination.
Oddly though, Go SMS isn't working with Heads-up, and I'm not always getting the Go SMS built in popup.

SO.. what is everyone doing for notification, both with phone on & off?
One last thing - edge lighting - looks neat, but I never put my phone face down. Would kind of kill AOD anyway, no?

More than 4 Notifications in Status Bar

Is there any way (with or without root) to increase the maximum number of notification charms shown in the status bar in Android P? So far, I've only been able to find a way to customize the clock position but not the notifications themselves. Thanks!
Yeah, I hate this change in Android Pie. With this and the lack of notification LED, it seems like Google is actively trying to destroy Android's notification system.
+1 The entire notification bar is a train wreck. Move the clock back to the right where permanent icons/info belongs, and clear space on the left for notifications, and let them breath. Probably my biggest annoyance with the phone is the whole lack of notification management. Turning off the AOD lead to missed notifications, so I have to sacrifice battery for the AOD... Then the dumbass clock and 4 icon limit is STILL causing missed notifications. If you have weather app and another notification always hanging around, you're down to 1 or 2 true notification icons?! Seriously?? Really hope Google fixes this, but I have a bad feeling this is how we have to live now... constantly pulling down the notification shade to see what was missed.

Google wont be satisfied until our devices are just as hampered as Apple's.
I don't understand the problem. I have an unread email, a few texts, a whatsapp, and an ebay auction won. I can see the text and the email and the dot. I swipe down, see the text and the email are unimportant, dismiss, and there's the whatsapp and the ebay. Sure, they aren't right there, but you don't read the email in the 1/8th of an inch of status bar, you preview in the notification shade or read in the app.
I wish I could only get 4 notifications. Since switching to the Pixel 3 XL I have one persistent notification that my Fitbit sync service is running. No WhatsApp or Gmail notifications, leading me to miss things left and right. I shut off AoD to save battery, but I don't think it worked before either.

you can hide persistent notifications now without disabling them completely. Just swipe to the left and click on the gear icon, and it will give you the option to minimize the notification. this will allow it to stay in the notification tray without displaying on the notification bar.
Got it working. Apparently my do not disturb settings were conflicting.
i have the same issue, with pie it limiting notificatiosn been shown in status bar, in Note 9 al least there is an option and you can chose to show all notifications.
With the last version of GravityBox you'll have an option to remove max notification icon restriction

Pop-up notification color

Does anyone know what controls the background color of the Pop-up notifications, also known as Heads Up notifications? Not the Samsung edge lighting pop-ups, but the regular Android Pie ones? Mine are an ugly yellow/brown color, and I'm not sure why or if I can change it. It doesn't seem to be affected by night mode or Samsung themes. Any ideas?

Have you already tried settings - lock screen - notifications?

Yes, that can change the transparency of these on the lock screen, which is great, I like them fully transparent, but none of the options there affect notifications while the screen is unlocked.
I realize some Samsung users may not see these, instead turning on the Edge Lighting option which captures these notifications and turns them into white bubbles that can open an app in a multi window. But those who don't use Edge Lighting, what color are your heads up notifications?
Googling about this just brings up hundreds of pages of instructions on how to block the heads up notifications, and nothing I can see about their appearance, so that's why I'm asking the forum here.
I would be curious to know if we can change this as well.
ANother thing I'd like to modify is their postion - why do they not start from the very top of the screen?
I dunno if you guys have figured it out or not but you can control the colors using QuickStar in Good Luck. BG color and font color of the heads up notification is the same as the Quickpanel colors. The only thing you gotta watch out for is that the panel BG alpha (or opacity) doesn't carry over to the heads up notification. So if you choose a white BG and set the opacity to 50% it will just be a 100% opaque white in the heads up notification.
PS: this website's mobile version is horrible.

Question How to Hide Persistent App Icon

So I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro to the galaxy s23 ultra. It's my first Samsung phone so I'm still getting familiar with the Samsung flavor of Android.
Is there a way to hide/not display an apps persistent notification icon from the status bar? I use a diabetic monitoring app(xdrip+) which has to always be running for obvious reasons. The app produces a graph which is always visible when I pull down the notification bar, I like that peice and want to keep it. However having the icon displayed in the status bar at all times is an eye sore.
On the pixel (and previously my oneplus 7 pro) I could set the notification to "silent" and it would hide the icon but would still display the graph in the notification bar. I can't find a way to mirror that on my galaxy s23. I can disable the persistent notification all together, but then I lose access to the handy graph.
When the notification shade is down and all notifications are visible you tap and hold the notification you want to change and after a moment a few options will appear and you tap settings and it takes you yo settings for that notification

I tried that, and setting it to "silent" didn't do anything sadly. I also tried disabling the notification entirely but that sadly made the graph go away as well.

Ahhhhh thank you. I fooled around a bit in there before but didn't realize that there were sub options within sub options. Thank you so much for the help, I'm now able to hide the icon.
