I'm using the newish google messenger as my default. The stock app is of course disabled.
I only get 1 notification for an sms in my top bar (google messenger).
My issue is with the on-screen pop-up notifications. Google messenger is clearly presenting one (pops down from the top and uses the material design capital letter in a colored square if you lack a picture for said person). But something else is making one as well. It's a solid white SMS pop-up with a thin blue line across the bottom edge of it. These two pop-ups end up overlaying each other.
For the life of me I can't figure out what app might be doing this.

It could be hangouts? just a thought. are you on a verizon phone? they also have another messenger app.
I'm getting the same thing as well. I don't mind the banner pop-up but the one in the middle with the blue line is REALLY annoying. It pops up as i'm reading the message in hangouts! I've disabled any and all other messenger apps on the phone. There's no setting in hangouts to disable it. Someone must have a solution!

I solved your problem. It's TrueCaller caller ID app. Go to settings in that go to texts and tell it not to show for all texts. BAM!

Pop-up notifications weren't mentioned in the google announcement, but were in a release from sony
Have you seen this? I assume Keep would be a good test case for this.
If you want to post a pic or video, that would be appreciated, too.
Thanks
You get a small area across the bottom with a pop up notification (imagine the blank spot on the 360 but it is instead a notification) that remains until you... Swipe down to remove it which will not dismiss it as you can swipe up later to view any notifications which have not been dismissed. When you do choose to view a notification you can swipe up on the notification to view one full screen of it. You can then tap on the full screen notification to get a full scrollable email, text, etc. which can be interacted with further depending on the individual notification type. You might for instance want to voice in a response to a text or email which google now handles well as long as the response is short.
An interesting thing about google wear and the Urbane in general is that I have not found a definitive guide on how to interact with the watch in detail making sorting out what can be done with various notification types a trial and error task.

Thanks, but it sounds like you're describing regular notifications, which will vibrate, but do not appear on the face while an app is running. Sony's description sounds like a new notification will appear over any app that's running, so you don't have to exit the app to see it. Are you seeing them while using an app?

You're correct, I had thought you were talking about ordinary notifications. I've yet to use any apps on the watch, maybe someone else will chime in.
No, the urbane does not have notification pop up while an app is open on ur watch.
WhatsApp on my Xz1c doesn't display a badge counter on the app icon. Is there a way to get this back? Is it an Oreo issue or WhatsApp issue? Occasionally I get a notification dot on the WhatsApp icon but it's a bit inconsistent. I'd prefer the message counter though as on my previous Xperia.
I've scoured the web all morning, and I can't figure this one out. I know that with the default Samsung Messages app, notifications come in with little single line bubbles, instead of standard heads-up notification banners. Switching to the Android Messages app fixed that for me, but WhatsApp is doing it to. Is there a way to make WhatsApp use normal banners? I assume this a Samsung thing (my Essential Phone, Pixel 2 XL, and LG G7 didn't do this), and if so, where do I go to turn it off? WhatsApp was installed from the Play Store, so I wouldn't think it'd have any fancy Samsung modifications to it, but I can't find a setting in there for normal banners either. Neither Skype nor FB Messenger (with chat heads turned off; I hate them) exhibit this behavior, and show normal banners. What am I missing?
EDIT:
I figured it out. I had forgotten from forever ago that Edge Lighting changes the notification style. Turned that off, and now banners are working properly.
To make phone calls and text I use an app called TextNow. I have set this app as my default app for phone and messages.
On my old phone when someone called me textnow acted like the normal stock phone app and would ring and go full screen to show there is a call. Then i can answer or end the call.
The app behaves differently on the p30 pro. Again, I have set Textnow as my default phone and msg app.
When someone calls me my phone will ring, but only a small phone icon will appear in the top notification bar. To answer the call I have to drag down the notifications, select the textnow notification banner THEN it will go full screen and I can answer the call or end the call.
The attached screenshot shows the phone icon in the corner. That is all that appears when someone calls me.
Any idea how to fix this?
Have you given the app the "draw over other apps" permission?

Yes when someone messages me a chat bubble (like with Facebook Messenger) pops up on the screen. If I don't close the chat bubble that annoying overlay warning message comes up.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help fix my WhatsApp problem. I have every single option for notification turned on including auto start, display on lock screen and background pop ups. Now, if my phone is off, I will get the notification on the lock screen including the message preview. This works on dark mode and light mode, however, if I'm using the phone and I get a WhatsApp message, unlike Facebook and Outlook etc I do not get a message preview box at the top for a few seconds, all I get is the WhatsApp icon next to the clock top left and the app badge will have a 1. I have tried this is light and dark mode, it works for neither. I also have all the relevant settings in inside the WhatsApp app itself. Here's where things get strange though. If someone sends me a WhatsApp and I leave it unread, if a SECOND person sends me a WhatsApp I will now get a notification pop up for both messages, 1 line for each one. Why on earth can I not get it for 1 new message? What setting am I missing? I've compared to others and everything seems the same. Many thanks if you can help.
