blocking notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I'm having trouble blocking certain notifications for example every time my gear S3 reconnect I get a new notification that it's connected. See screenshot below. On my pixel I could block this. I can't seem to find a way to block it on my S9+

Recurring S-Health notifications?

I regularly get a specific S-Health notification on my Gear S, prompting me to unlock and setup an S-Health profile. This usually happens when I walk out of range of my Note 4 or when I walk back into range (connected via bluetooth). When it pops up, I can dismiss it until the next time it pops up, or I can instead open it which simply brings up the S-Health application on my phone. I have already setup my S-Health profile so I'm not sure why I repeatedly get this particular notification...It's getting annoying! Any idea what this is all about, or how I can disable it (without disabling all S-Health notifications through the application manager)?

Thanks for replying... Yes i did that but it's those random notifications that are bugging me! I would rather not have these things pop up every time I walk out of (or back into) my phone's bluetooth range. Besides, the notifications seem useless to begin with since I already setup my S-Health profile... Surprised no one else is bothered by this or knows what it's about/how to disable it.

it is a pain and wish i could get rid of it myself. i dont even use s-health, but did create the profile and disable notifications hoping that would help. nothing. still with the random notifications.

rooted GearS? no, i dont think there was a root available for me in Canada. My note2 was rooted but some how i lost it. havent bothered rooting again yet. but to get rid of S-health, i will
wow, i havent checked the development page in a while. didnt realize your guide for rooting all firmwares and additional scripts. will try this out tonight.
For now I ended up just disabling S-Health notifications in Gear Manager rather than rooting and using the S Killer. Figured I might want those notifications over the summer for running, etc so didn't want to kill S Health completely. Seems to have solved the issue for me so far. Thanks everyone!

Push notifications do not work when screen is off!

Has anyone encountered this problem? After a few minutes of my screen being off, i do not receive ANY notifications for incoming messages (e.g. Hangouts, Whats App,...etc). As soon as I wake up the phone again, I am flooded with pending notifications (some of which are hours late)
The problem is not limited to my phone; as 2 of my other friends are facing the exact same issue on their units.
I am referring to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue ?
[[Update]] seems this problem is with all lollipop phones. At least where I'm at. I can confirm that the M9, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 all demonstrate the same behavior.
Bump! Problem still exists. Hoping for someone to shed some light

Anything installed? Like Greenify, or battery saving apps?
Nothing. Stock and straight of the box.
Do you have any battery saving options on?
None. Its has no power saving nor blocking mode activated.
yep. Just got my AT&T 64g edge. with screen off I get no notifications for Gmail, Hangouts, Text or mms. turn screen on and everything suddenly shows up. fresh out of the box, no powersavings or anything on..
I'm seeing the issue on my regular at&t s6. any solutions ?
You do not get the blinking LED notification? Or are you guys expecting an Ambient notification?
In some cases the notification arrives late or in some cases not at all. no LED notification, no sound notification .. nothing!
I'm not sure why this hasn't bubbled up yet .. its quite a serious problem. My old s4 on 4.4.2 handles push notifications like a champ.
Sadly it this issue did bubble up earlyier as this thread was started on the 2nd... about half the time if my screen has been off for a bit I get nothing, and then when I wake it up I get multiple email, text and google hangouts notifications...

Same problem for me -push notifications work intermittently under lollipop - had same problem with my moto x 2014 and now has started with the edge.
I didn't have this issue with my M8, I have it with the S6E though..
Have same problem here. Sometimes works with no issues, sometimes get 4 notifications once the screen is turned on.
Started noticing this as well. Turn my screen on and I will get notifications from email, whatsapp, groupme and a few other apps.
turn off wi-fi
this happens to me on my s6 edge (t-mobile variant) when I have wifi on and am connected to a wifi network.
turn off wifi --> perfect notification behavior
I assume this is a software issue and not a hardware one. I guess Sammy needs to push a fix for this.
I have the same problem, i have been pulling my hair looking for a fix. Brand new s6 edge att model here doing the same thing.
The only solution is to use other email apps other than gmail and it works fine. I'm certain it is a software bug however my wife has an S4 with lolipop and no issues so I'm concerned a bit but now that I have seen this thread it is clear I'm not the only one.
The issue on my phone resolved itself. No firmware updates or anything. Go figure

Bluetooth control problems and Always On Display notification problems.

So I've had my Mate 20 Pro for about a month now, and while I love the phone, there are some things that really bug me. Not sure if anyone else has run into the following issues but, if anyone knows of a fix for these things I'd greatly appreciate it!
1) Not sure why, but my car stereo cannot control (skip, go back) media playing via bluetooth from my phone. Find it odd due to it being compatible with my previous phone. Any setting I'm supposed to toggle or is it a stereo side problem?
2) When I am connected to Spotify to a bluetooth device, when waking the screen up, the 'Connecting to Spotify' notification is on constantly and in turn, blocks me from having access to spotify music controls from the locked screen. Anyone know how to block specific notifications from an app like that?
3) For the always on display, is there a way to get more notification symbols on there other than messages? I'd like to see from that screen if I have a messenger message or a whatsapp message and so on.
4) The last question is a bit more of a stretch, but I just received the official Huawei Smart View cover case, and regardless if I have always on display active or not, the small window only shows the time for a short period of time before turning off, and I am unable to see the time unless I open it or toggle the lock button. Any chance someone knows how I could make always on display stay on while using the official case?
I know the questions are all over the place, but I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks

Brother, may I know your car model and annual model?

Multiple notifications in a short period of time

Hi all,
when I get many notifications (for example, someone is sending me 7 messages in Viber/What'sApp in a period of one minute), I would like to hear the notification sound only the first time and not 7 times, as it gets annoying...
I have the impression that this can be configured somehow (without additional apps), but I haven"t found anything so far...
Could you please help me with this?
In Viber go to person - slide right and select Smart notifications.
For other apps idk

Notification query

I am looking for a way to increase visibility of notifications on my Redmi 6 Android 8.1.0 O11019
I want them to actually be a pop-ups which would interrupt other applications if needed.
Second thing I would like to ask is about disconnecting apps.
Whenever I tab out of any app which is requires connection to internet (games or stuff) app disconnects I understand that Internet is cut off if I tab out - is thee anyway to prevent it from happening ?
Same with screen saver, is there a way to setup some applications to overrule phone general settings and do not turn off the screen during phone inactivity ?
