[Q] Preview notification bar - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having issues trying to get my text message preview (also battery fast charge notification) to show in the notification bar.
They worked prior to the update, now they just won't show. I get the icons, but no text preview. I've made sure that under:
System Settings > (Apps) Messages > Notifications (on) > Preview message is checked on (i've even toggled it).
I've wiped cache, powered on and off....Still nothing.
I'm I going to have to bite the bullet and factory reset? I'd super really not want to but if I have to, then I have to.

Okay so did T-Mobile remove the feature then?

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, look here at the middle picture above the pop-up notification and the last picture on the right (what I'm trying to accomplish):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
http://recomhub.com/blog/android-6-0-marshmallow-how-to-turn-on-and-off-preview-on-galaxy-s6/
In these steps they spell out how to turn it on and off. However I am now missing one KEY feature...The Status Bar check box. I was able to see the previews before and I really liked it because I didn't have to open the messenger app to read the message unless I really wanted to. Now I have to just to see who sent me the message.
Samsung Galaxy S6: How to Enable or Disable Message Preview
1. Turn on the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge
2. Go to the menu of the Galaxy S6 and select on Settings
3. Browse for Applications and select on Messages
4. Select on Notifications
5. Now look for a section called Preview Message
6. You’ll find two boxes, one with “Lock Screen” and the other saying “Status Bar”
7. Uncheck the boxes that you don’t want the Preview Message to show up in anymore
Can anybody else confirm this? Those of you have not updated yet can you please verify is the Status Bar option is there or not?
*edit*
I understand that these instructions are for the S6 but its really the only thing I could find for regarding Marshmallow and Samsung.

Whew! got that one figured out. All good.

[Q] Lockscreen questions (dashclock)

I'm using an AT&T Note 3 with DashClock installed for my lock screen.
When coming back to my phone my lockscreen shows something like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In order to get more information I have to manually drag the widget to make it bigger every time. After I drag it down or scroll to a new screen and back it shows up like this:
From this screen I'm able to just tap the notification and load the corresponding app. I am used to this functionality from my previous iphones. Is there any way to automatically load the widget as it appears in the 2nd pic above?
Thanks.
It looks like this is a feature in Android.
"People...Built by design, stock 4.2.X has the 'main' lock screen widget shrunk so that you have full access to the lockscreen slider right away after unlocking. You'll need a non-stock/custom ROM (AOKP/CM) that has such option built into it, allowing for main lockscreen to be expanded as soon as the phone is unlocked. This isn't an 'app' issue/fix but stock ROM related. "

Xposed has a maximize widget module for this. That is if you are rooted.

N920T Home screen size distored

Hey everyone, I've got an issue I've been trying to get figured out with no luck & I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As it says in the title I'm on the Note 5 32GB from t-mobile, it's running 6.0.1, and is rooted with TWRP recovery. Now on to the issue.
Yesterday I rebooted my device, and when it came back up the home screen shrunk. What I mean is the icon/folder area and the screen indicator dots are smaller causing a significant dead space area between the dots and my bottom bar. I have included two photos, one untouched and one with yellow highlighting illustrating the area I am talking about.
In an attempt to remedy this, so far I have done the following:
Checked that one handed operation is disabled (it is)
Checked and changed screen fonts & font size
Changed the home screen grid options
I've even went as far as doing a system reset in twrp erasing everything and starting over
With that I have been unsuccessful in getting this fixed. I am hoping someone can help. In my research the only information I have found to this point talks about the settings I listed above as attempts, and I haven't seen this problem come up at this point, so please don't blast me if I've missed it, and you know where I should look, I am more than happy to read any information provided.

I've shared the photos with an image tag from my onedrive account, if they aren't working please alert me and I'll try to find another way to share them.
Not working. Curious though. How is the rest of the system? Setting and whatnot set to normal? Did you flash a ROM?

Everything is default accept my theme, which changing it didn't affect it either. It's a stock rom and systemless root with TWRP recovery. I was thinking I screwed up a setting also which is why I tried to do a reset.

Pop up call window

Yesterday, i have invested in a note 8 with the android 7.1.1 and i realized the the pop up window from the note 4 android 6.0.1 that pops up when you press the home button/enter an application while in a call (as shown in the picture attached) is gone and from what i see neither do galaxy s7s and s7 edges dont have it either with 6.0.1 and with 7.1.1 so i would like to know if this feature was removed or do you just need to apply it in the settings and if it was removed is there an app/patch you can download to have it?
thanks in advance
here is the pop up image:

Did not own a note 4 so do not know if this is the exact feature you are looking for but the note 8 does have a pop up action view. Under Settings>Advanced features>Multiwindow there is a toggle for pop up action view. This allows you to drag down from the corner to put the current app into a small window. Works well with YouTube and other apps.

Hate to ask such an obvious question but, are you aware the developers option shows up at the bottom of the main settings page, just under "about phone"?
Failing that, if you download this app from the Play Store, it should hopefully give you access to developers options menu, seeing as you have already enabled it by clicking on the build number 7 times
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=options.developer.com.developeroptions
I know where developer options should be, it's not there.
Also the app is telling me to turn it on

Did you tap on "Build Number" more then 7 times in about phone/software info.?
Keep on tapping it you'll see a toast message at bottom of screen counting down to 0 the it will say developers options enabled. Then back out of settings and reopen settings and scroll down to bottom. Might try rebooting the phone.
Worst case scenario is to do a BACKUP and factory reset. Not necessarily needed but who knows.

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!
HTH,
