After the upgrade to Lollipop 5.0, I do not have the option of sending a text "quick response" when I receive a call. Only options are to accept or decline call. Any one else experiencing this problem? I am using Messenger for texts.
When you get the drop down notification while doing something on the phone, the option is gone. When you get a call when the screen is off, it's still there.
Just added some pics
No option for quick response when call received and screen is off. I've spent hours with both Verizon and Moto and they can't figure it out except to do a factory reset which I'm not going to do.
When you're in the phone app, tap on the three vertical dots by the mic, then settings, then general settings.... Is there an option for quick responses?
Yes, there is a heading for "quick responses" and I've edited them to my liking. It's just that the ability to send a quick response when a call is received is not available. As I have indicated neither Verizon nor Motorola can solve the problem. In both instances the "took control" of my phone and could exactly what was happening when a call was received. Sigh, I can live without this feature and hopefully will be fixed in the next Lollipop update.
I'm out of ideas, other than the one you don't want to do.... Hmm, did you try clearing data on the phone app?
Thanks for your interest and help.
If you tap on the contact icon in the pop up it takes you to full screen where the quick response is available. Essentially one extra tap

That is very good to know.
But
I think the OP is saying that he has tried all this and the option is just missing. Like when you or I tap on the answer circle and we see the quick message icon above the answer/hang up icons, his is not there.
Oops, missed that. Sorry. Thanks for clarifying
Yes, you are right. Shame on me. I now realize that you can tap on the icon of the caller and then leave a quick message. Thanks.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to stop the email notifications. I get emails all the time, and I use phonealarm on my today screen to monitor them. It is very annoying to constantly have the left soft button come up with a notification .
I have gone into setting>sounds & notifications and turned everything off.. but I still have the soft button notification. I would think there is some registry setting to do this but I have not found one.
Notification Softkey Help
Bumping this thread.
I too have all notifications for email turned off, but still get that left softkey changing to "notification" every 10 minutes to let me know I have unread email. I know I have unread email and already have the # of messages listed on the Today screen. I am tired of having to dismiss this.
Please, somebody tell us how to shut this off.
settings/sounds & notifications/notifications tab/event drop down box/messaging:new email messages.
in there will give you the options for all types of messing to turn on/off

Thanks, but that's the point. All those options are checked off. We still get the soft key notification.

And there was me thinking I could just use the key listed and change the duration to 1, like I did with SMS notifications. Alas it has no effect so disabling it entirely seems like the only option.
Thank you. This is a big help. Should be added as a "tweak" if somebody can.
Can the notification bubble be disabled?
Its absurd that in the sounds and notifications, I uncheck all notifications from all events and still get the "Dismiss" button for a notification of a missed call or voicemail or email or mms.
I really dont need to see new email counter increment, plus notification/dismiss bubble at the bottom of the screen and finally the envelope icon at the top. Im not that dense.

You need to uncheck "show message on screen" from the connection established event under sounds and notifications.
no that just dosnt allow the message to pop up on the notification. i dont believe there is anyway to disable the icon that pops up in the top.
but what you can do is disable the message that pops up

The instructions I posted prevent the notification bubble from popping up, which is exactly what the OP was trying to accomplish.
no i think he means the icon that pops up on the top not the message that comes up when ever something happend...
at least thats what i think he means...
Which one
I dont mind the envelope on top, what I do mind is when I have the keypad locked and it take 4-10 button presses to get the normal soft key navigation back.
Example:
Missed call, new email, new mms, new voicemail. Each has a seperate "notification" that has to be viewed and dismissed in 2 keystrokes.
So for example, on a missed call only:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
As you can see, it takes 5 buttons to get my left softkey back to normal and get rid of the notification bubble. The handset icon with the ! on it is sufficient to indicate the missed call.
Now, how about a missed call, which of course causes a new voicemail:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
6) click softkey new message
7) click softkey dismiss
Now add new voicemail, missed call, new email, new text message and you can see it takes a ton of annoying keypresses to get rid of the bubble notifications and return the softkeys to normal where I expect them to be whenever I need to use my phone.
I have everything unchecked in the sound/notify section so that doesnt help.
If I dont use Today but instead, a Today replacement, does that go away?
Thanks
take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1843894
goto HKCU\control panel\notifications\
and change whatever you want to not show up to 0 or 1 in the options. What i do is set everything to 0 and i used to have a 1 ring lag due to that stupid bubble but as a disclaimer i use S2U2 to Handel the phone calls and phone alarm to Handel notifications so i am able to turn all this stuff off and still have the notifications i ask for.
No Luck on that thread
No luck on that thread. I still get the missed call changing the softkey to Notification and then a bubble, then dismiss.
I tried setting all the "Options" in each key under notifications to zero. So far, I think they all went away except missed call.
I have also been looking for a solution to disable the left soft-key notification / notification bubble. It seems that anyone who receives a lot of calls, voicemail and e-mail on there phone would find this "feature" annoying. I've tried various phone alarm type applications and not had any luck.
You're idea of replacing the today screen sounds like a good idea.
...but so far I just have to disable all on-screen notifications in notification settings and then press the left-soft key over and over again to dismiss all those stupid notifications.

Absolutely! I also can not understand why it seems impossible to get rid of this "feature". Specialy since HTC Home Plugin (and lot of other today plugins) make this notifications absolutely unnecessary.
Morning everyone, so I've been using my N6 since Thursday of last week, and really like it so far. But the one thing that is kind of frustrating is that I'm unable to interact with the pop-up notifications. I would assume, if I'm lets say in my Gmail app, reading an email, and I get a test message I should be able to click on the pop-up notification and it should take me to Hangouts. But the only thing I'm able to do is swipe the notifications away and then pull the notification bar down, then click on the notification it will take me to the application. Anyone else have this issue? Is this by design?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brocja01
double tap the notification

That only works from the lock screen. I'm talking about when you're actually interacting with an Application lets say Gmail, and you get a text message. Those pop-up notifications. I can't do anything with them but swipe them away. That includes the pop-up notification for a phone call, I actually have to swipe away the notification, then pull down the notification bar to answer the call. Very frustrating...

Not for me, I can double click, click and hold, swipe down and nothing works but swiping left or right to dismiss.

I have exactly the same problem. I also see it on incoming phone calls -- the popup appears with "answer" or "dismiss", but I can't click either of them. All I can do is swipe the notification away and the phone keeps ringing. I just missed a call due to this.
Anyone else seeing this? I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Make sure you come back here and let me know if you figure this out. Kind of annoying. I've gotten really quick at swiping away, swipe down to answer calls.

I tried a couple of things this morning that seemed to help. I re-enabled the default Messaging app (I had disabled it because I don't use SMS on my phone). I also disabled Hangouts, cleared its data, and re-enabled it. Then I rebooted the phone.
Now Hangouts pop-ups seem to work correctly (I can tap them to go to Hangouts, swipe them down to go to the notification bar, etc.). I haven't had a chance to test it with incoming phone calls yet.
This worked to fix phone calls too, for me. I hope it works for you.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I did a reboot and they started to work. Very wierd.
I've been digging around trying to find an answer, and I think the only one I found was https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/disable-floating-popup-call-t3142001 which essentially says you need root / can't disable it.
When making a phone call (not an incoming call, but during an active call), if you switch to a different app/screen, a green floating pop-up bar appears. You can drag this bar all over the screen, but I really couldn't care less about it. It's not useful to me as the only status it shows is the call duration. If it at least showed my microphone/speaker status, it'd be useful. But I really couldn't care less how long I've been on a call.
Is there any way to disable or otherwise configure this feature? I can't even figure out what it's called.

Go into the default dialer app and select the Dial tab. Click on the 3 dot menu in the upper right and select Call Settings then select Additional Settings. There is an option called "Show voice calls while in an app". Select that and you have the option to change from a pop-up.

That's only for incoming calls. He's talking about the in-call timer floating button. Never have been able to disable it since G2. It sucks and is annoying af.

Yes, this is exactly it. Stinks that there's no way to disable it. It's almost entirely useless.
Hi all,
I bought a Xiaomi 9 SE a while back, coming from iPhone. I was under the impression that everything was tweakable with android, but i can't figure out how to adjust the pop-up notifications from whatsapp in any way. Currently whenever i receive a whatsapp message my screen turns on and shows a huge rectangle in the middle of the screen showing the message with two buttons beneath it reading "reply" and "close". Then i can scroll to the right and left, showing the next message and previous messages in case i received more than one. This sucks for a number of reasons.
The rectangle looks like it was invented in 1999. It is so obnoxious; huge, ugly with no way around it. It stays on your lock screen blocking everything else until you've closed it manually. When i (feel forced to) close the preview screen (because i want to use my phone for another purpose) there is no way of retrieving the previews of the messages, i have to open the app instead.
The time stamps are missing. I have to figure out the chronology of messages myself by looking at the number in the upper right corner (1 of 13, 2 of 13 etc.) but even then i don't know if the message was sent an hour ago or a minute ago (and even then, i don't know if message 13 was the last one or message 1). Besides, this 'scrolling' to the left and right is so time consuming and unclear compared to being able to look at all messages beneath one another with the first one at the top and the last one at the bottom in one quick view (as with my old iphone).
Phone companies are always nagging about protecting privacy and therefor not showing the content of preview messages of whatsapp, i never understood this when i was on iphone and the previewed messages were subtle, vague and small - with the longer messages needing to be expanded by a swipe down with the finger to fully view (in case of texts longer than a couple of words). But now i get it, these android preview messages light up the screen in a way you can not NOT look at it and the content of the messages is right there in the middle to read for everyone. Also with iPhone i remember the screen would only light up with the first message you received from someone and have some sort of cooldown timer on it before the screen turned on again, with my xiaomi every message someone sends makes the screen light up. In case of people who send a lot of messages in a row (instead of making 1 long message) that means the phone screen in turned on for minutes on end, super annoying and distracting.
Am i totally missing something or is this just the way whatsapp preview messages work with android? Is there any option somewhere hidden to change the form of the whatsapp preview messages to something less obnoxious? Or any third party app for that matter, as this is driving me crazy.
I have MIUI 11 since a day or two now, and was hoping this would change things, but so far i haven't figured it out.
Thanks in advance all!
Yes there is. Just disable the so called toast messages. And you can also disable lock screen messages. And of course disable whatsapp message notification at all!
For the first thing. Whatsapp>settings>notifications>use high priority notifications
For the second check your android AND launcher specific lockscreen settings.
For the third option check the App permissions. or just modify the appearance of the message the time it is there. Grab it left or right and then hit the settings gear for notification display permission (I hope it is called like this).

hi, thanks for the answer. I think this does not solve my issue if i understand everything correctly. To be clear: i WANT notifications on my lock screen, just not in the form of the idiotic big rectangle. I want the more subtle, smaller, elongated 'balloons'. Strangly enough when i press "close" on the previewed messages on my Lock screen they disappear and for a second turn into such a small 'balloon', only to disappear straight away then.
The "use high priority notifications" gives a little pop-up at the top of the screen that disappears after like 2 seconds. This is no problem for me.
Under "ambient display and lock screen" settings you can choose for the screen whether to light up or not when a message is received. Although i'd like there to be some sort of cooldown to prevent my phone from lighting up for longer periods on end or all the time, this is not the biggest issue either. (Apparently this overruled by something else as setting it to "do nothing - when notifications come and the screen is off" does not work, it still lit up when receiving a whatsapp message)
Under "notifications" settings you can select "lock screen notifications", "floating notifications" and "notifications badges" - so i go to 'lock screen notifications' where i can select 'format' (sounds promising!), but this only gives me the options to:
- show notification content
- show notifications but hide content
- don't show lock screen notifications
No option to change the style of the Lock screen notifications frustratingly.
EDIT: i may have just found the answer myself ... turn off "pop-up notifications" in the whatsapp settings. This way you still get notifications, but no longer the horrible big ones in the middle of the screen
