Hey...the "Disable" button is grayed out on a number of*apps, even though they are NOT device administrators. How do I disable them?
Anyone? I'd like to disable HTC Dot View, Messages, and a few others that seem to not allow it (even though they have a Disable button, it's grayed out).

I would like to ask how to set my blinkfeed to mobile data and wifi instead of WiFi Only. When i go to the setting of blinkfeed, in the auto refresh, its only wifi only, and the button is disabled. Any trick on how to enable it?

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.
After I have made a phone call and brought up they keypad for in call option selection, any numbers I select do not display.
When it was new they did. What has changed and how do i fix this?
I found what is causing this issue:
if you have an app that needs to use accessibility options, (in my case "Notification Manager" used by SSLauncher The Original) like Talkback or others this issue appears, disabling all apps in accessibility removes this problem.
Hope it helps
I have just installed a stock RUU of 5.0 on my One, it's great bar one thing, in my settings I can't seem to set the lock screen notifications to show but hide the content of the notification (ie: don't show what is in my text messages).
Only options I get are: (In Sounds & notifications) "When Device is Locked" - "Show all notification" OR "Don't show notifications at all". There is meant to be a "Don't show private information" option.
Is there a different way to do this or am I missing something?
Cheers
So no-one else has this issue or does no-one mind having the notifications appear on the lock screen and be readable?
Can someone confirm that this is how it is meant to be?
I ended up figuring this out, I don't use pass codes are any of that as I don't really care who gets into my phone, this is why I wasn't getting the option to hide the content of notifications.
This does make sense I guess, I hate having to enter a passcode but I would still like to be able to hide the content of notifications, it used to just put an icon at the top which was great, hopefully they bring that back.
Anyway, all is good and problem solved.
I can't seem to find where to enable pop ups from the messages app on the lock screen. I turned on the option in the messages settings but it says it pops up on all screens except the lock screen.
Has anyone figured out how to get the pop up on the lock screen as Well?

Open message+ app > settings > scroll down to Enable Popup Over Lock Screen > check mark. There are other settings that show up after checking this setting.

Hold your finger on the message app button until the a little screen pops up, press App info. , press Notifications, press On lock screen, press show content, then press Set as Priority. Not sure if this is what you're looking for though.
FYI message+ has many more options than message has. Give it a try.
Not seeing message+ in the app store. Who makes it?
** UPDATE ** I found that it is Verizon's messaging app.

There is no option to show content.
I did, didnt like the inability to customize it......... like customizing the photo in the desktop screen.
See attached photo regarding how to 'show content" etc.
See attached photo regarding customization of Message+. Open Message+, press 3 dots on upper right hand of screen, touch customize.
Hope this helps.
Go to messages, click settings, tap notifications (mine said "on time" then message preview toggle and pop up toggle are in there
On my S7, when a text would come in, the phone would go from "clock screen" to "lock screen" and an abbreviated message would show up.
NOW, on the S9, it's like the whole message pops up! Wish I could set it the other way. I guess I'm just more used to that...
I already turn on all show content in lock screen but when i receive new message just only led notification. Edge lighting and pop-up not working. Now, im using go-sms, edge lighting can work but i cant see pop-up message. Anyone know how to fix it? My device is SM-N950U
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
