I absolutely can not stand the new grouped notifications and I have spent so much time trying to find some way to turn it off, it makes the status shade completely useless for quick glance checking, its most annoying with facebook messenger where if you get a single message it will register the "chat head" service and the message as multiple notifications for the messenger app and you have to expand it to see who said what.
Anyone else?
Anyone by chance know any way to turn it off?

I absolutely love the new notification grouping lol
I am with all of you, do not like the grouped settings, would love it if someone finds the setting to turn it off, I have been looking but cannot find it.
Deja Vu all over again.
I dont get Samsung, they always take something nice and make it crap. Just seems like they were trying to be apple to much. Does anyone remember when the s5 and note 4 came out they advertised the crap out of having a removable battery and expendable storage?? But the very next year they eliminate both those features and water resistantance(s5). Now it's locked bootloaders Which blows. they rushing quality control to beat Apples new release, Like they made a very good comeback with the s7 and s7 edge. I just dont get why they went to far from their roots,why would you want to be like apple? They mess things ups pretty good on their own every year.
Don't know if it helps anyone, but Samsung updated the Good Lock app to work with the Note 7. It doesn't group up the notifications and you can get rid of the white color and have the notifications match your UI better. Anyone that isn't familiar with it, it's an alternative lock screen and notification app that makes both closer to stock android. There are lots of settings to play with and you can customize the colors of everything in the notification shade. Also adds some really nice lock screen effects. It's on the galaxy app store.
EDIT: Apparently they updated it again and you can set each individual color in your routines to be literally any color you want. Combined with the lack of grouped notifications, this app is basically perfect.
It's terrible and definitely a step backward in the evolution of the notification system. It might as well just not tell you anything and make you open each app to see what the notification is.

After seeing so many people recommend Good Lock, I decided to try it out.
Holy ****. It actually made me wish my phone would catch fire just so I didn't have to use it. I couldn't get it uninstalled fast enough. On the bright side, grouped notifications don't seem quite so bad now.
This is one of the reason I may be swapping this out for the v20. This bugs me more than any other issue with the phone, including constantly signal dropping.

Dont really like it. Sucks there no options to turn ot on and off. It reminds me of windows when it groups all your tabs together.
Now on windows i like it but on the phone i dont think its all that.
Also hate how they made the notify bar so flat and dull. It look way better before
I want to know why the goddamn wifi calling preferences is stuck there unless you turn it off. Or for that matter ANY application. None of them should ever stay there forever. Maybe one exception if you have a vpn connected, but it should go away when it is closed and most of them do not. Otherwise I kind of like the grouping.
I'm one of the few that like it lol

I like it a lot. Less clutter. Also, all you have to do is tap the notification to get it to expand.

I've had that problem since my Galaxy S6 actually. I always keep the setting to show notifications for open WiFi off, but I still get them on my phone. It's strange because it doesn't seem to show notifications for every open WiFi network, but only with some networks. (I've actually noticed it more on the NYC subway for some reason. Somehow whatever network they have down there can override the phone's settings and show a notification.) I usually just turn my WiFi off if I'm going to be out and about and that stops the problem.

Does anyone know how to make the lower buttons, back, menu, search, and home buttons not light up when I receive a message our missed call while using the NoLED app?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I don't believe there is that option within the NoLED app. The BLN has to be built into the Kernel I believe.... I'm sure there will soon enough be a supporting Kernel for this as there is much support for the Galaxy series phones and this sort of thing. As I am not a dev I have no idea how easy/hard it would be but I cant wait
The op was trying to turn the lights off not on. As far as I know it just needs to be updated for gingerbread/ns so that the bottom lights don't turn on. You can follow the original app thread here. It looks like the dev won't be working on it til after the holidays.

Yes to both. I have the widget set to "on," restarted my phone, and before, made sure all the settings were correct.
Still, nothing shows up after sending myself emails and giving myself calls (didnt' pick up, of course).
Doesn't seem to work; I'm running 2.3.1 with stock launcher.
Just read the FAQ. It's the "No Lock" app that's preventing NoLED from functioning. That's a shame because sometimes when I'm at home, I dislike having to swipe or enter my pattern key to unlock the phone.
NoLED works fine now. Thanks y'all.

I have borrowed an HD7 from a friend running the absolute latest Mango beta I believe - beta 2 I think.
Anyway, I want to be always online with Google Talk ala Android. I see it has options for push notifications and running under lock screen. I dont really get it. I want the best battery life I can get, but I want notifications as quickly as possible when someone sends me a message. I have the live tile pinned to my home screen too, but it seems to take a little while to get a notification.
Can anyone help a bit with this stuff please.
If you are using Mango beta2. Then under Messages you will find threads. From there you can be online with Windows Live Messenger and it is the best. Instant notifications and toast.

Push notifications are dependant on IM+ sending them to Microsoft in a timely manner, and for Microsoft to send them to your phone in a timely manner.
This is not something you can control unfortunately. Sometimes they get to your phone instantly, sometimes they don't. Despite it being called 'push' notifications, its not always on and always waiting for notifications. That would eat up too much battery life. Best thing to do would be to wait for Mango to finally come out, and for IM+ to be updated to support true background multitasking so that it can send you more instant notifications.

Running under lockscreen would only continue to drain the battery as if you phone was on and actively pulling/sending data. So don't expect your phone to last too long with it on.
That being said, you should definitely see an improvement in notification response time since the app is open and actively pinging the server for new messages. Best case it should notify you as quickly as it can download the latest IM from whoever talks to you.
And then there is the fact that if you leave it on under lockscreen, in order for that to operate properly, you need to open the app every time right before you put the phone into standby. Otherwise, the app closes/freezes when you do anything else with the phone. Or you can simply do nothing with you phone and leave IM+ open at all times... but then it wouldn't be much of a phone. XD

But something very weird happened. I was at the ATT store yesterday, the HTC 8X on display was connected. I looked up its number, and I texted it from my existing Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Focus S), and there was no Toast Notification! I tried several times.....with the screen locked, not locked and so on. The tile notification indicated there was a new text message each time, but not display on the screen. I quietly snickered to myself, and then happily purchased the HTC 8X yesterday (and I was actually some sort of 100th customer thing after Black Friday, and I got $250 worth of accessories for free!).
But to my chagrin, the first text I got this morning.....TOAST NOTIFICATION, and everyone since. So why did they not come up in the store but do now.

I just found out what toast notofications really do...They violate your privacy...This is a very important reason for me to switch back to android or go for an iPhone! I would hate to leave wp though...It's unacceptable...If i'm using my phone next to a friend of mine and my girl sends me something horny, well, it's not a nice experience! This has already happened to me along with similar situations...
Could you use Driving Mode as a work-around?
If you have a spare bluetooth device (such as an no longer used earpiece) it might be easier to do this than using a switch in settings. You wouldn't need to touch the phone, all you would need to do is turn on/off the BT device as and when you need to block texts.

As a workaround you could enable the phone to read the incoming messages out loud so your friend doesn't have to invest the energy to read it.
On a serious note, I find theta complaint very far fetched. Unless your friend is staring directly at your screen, it'll be hard to read what your girlfriend wrote. If he is watching your screen, it is common courtesy to look away when someone receives a text or message.
Either way, you can always swipe the incoming toast notification away.
Edit: and since the toast will really only show the first few words of a message, I'd find it challenging to put something raunchy or embarrassing in those t or 6 words.
"I wanna f your friend!"
I thought it would be nice for both users and developers what to expect from next update to fix or be fixed. I'm gonna give a kick start to known bugs, so that we can be aware of the faults of 4.2. Don't shoot the things you didn't like here since it is nothing to do with this "bug" thread. Here I go..
1. I keep telling myself this should not be a bug since it is so obvious but there is no reason for it to be implemented that way. Which is the hour segment of lock screen time being bold and the other half is normal font.. Maybe there is a reason for this hopefully..
2. Pull down the notification bar from top, when it is down, pull down from the top most again. Notification center will continue going down and out of the screen. It applies for both quick settings and notification center.. Major bug! - 1 to googles test engineers.
Now you can add your own test cases and bugs and maybe we have great devs to sort them out and develop great custom roms..

Just to try it i Created a 3rd user..From the lock screen then you log into that user account to set it up. When it gets the point it ask for user Name SU Pops up asking to grant permission .. then give a message ..
SuperSU has granted superuser permission :/system/bin/id
tried 3 times .. if you let it set on that screen you will get Supersu isnt responding .. You click ok then it will allow you to continue setting up the account.

Can't log into gmail with another account in chrome.
I used to log into another account in chrome that I haven't bothered linking. I went to gmail in chrome (not requesting desktop version) and I was already logged into my primary account. It's never done that before. I thought no big deal and signed out. Now gmail continually loops on the address constantly refreshing but the site never actually comes up.
And not a bug, but I'm annoyed Nexus 7 didn't get miracast. Can't imagine the reason for that. And the what's new page isn't clear that it is only nexus 4. http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Yes it does say "Share what’s on your phone on the big screen." but the rest of the text and the page makes it seem like these are 4.2 features and not exclusive to N4. I'm hoping custom roms will enable miracast.
Also, not a bug but a feature lost, the camera no longer has the funny faces (big nose, small eyes etc). ya I know a dorky feature but I don't see why it was removed. I know the nexus 7 didn't have the camera enabled by default but we have the new camera app so I assume other devices lost those as well.

edit: never mind, I worked it out, I had to go in and select that I wanted to use the "Internet Access" profile
Seems like realvnc doesn't like this new update crashes

Maybe I should do a factory restore. I don't want to lose my game save files though, grrrr!

I know it sucks. I backed up with rom toolbox. And restored. Not sure if it saves game data thou.
I was on custom rom
I love the device so far, ran only into two minor hiccups.
1) I had other Huawei phones recently and either this is new or I managed to disable it previously and forgot how: When I open the app list I get a row of "suggestions" and find those useless/annoying. Can I fix that?
2) I .. didn't even know that it would come without a notification led before it arrived at my doorstep. Somehow every phone I owned in the last decade or so had one and I start to miss it. Are there any software fixes for this, maybe using the always on display mode?

for 1) - unninstall tips app
Thst doesn't change the behavior (bit is probably a good idea anyway..).
My app drawer starts with a row of suggestions (recent apps I guess), a little bit of separation space and then I have the normal A-Z listing of apps.
The suggestions are bad/crap/wasting space 99% of the time, so I want them gone. Tips doesn't do that as far as I can see..

For the second the P30 pro has Always on display and after the 124 update shows all messages from all apps. Even from 3rd party apps.
How.. why..
That is a (cool?) app to show your battery status around the notch area.
It certainly has nothing to do with the app drawer/launcher problem, but I also don't see the relation to the missing notification led (although it would be cool if the app could function as that instead of a battery indicator, but then it also would need to be displayed whole the screen is "off").
Unrelated, no?

Unfortunately that seems not good enough.
For one, notifications are funky/working only half the time for me so far.
Worse, the notifications that do appear on the always on display are gone after I unlocked the phone once. Even if the notification still exists/wasn't dismissed, it's now gone from the always on display.. :-/

I think this app might work for you Always On Edge - Edge Lighting ? ; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
I'm using it on my p30 pro and also the s10 plus. You can disable the edge lights and only use the notification icons if you want.

Thanks, that .. might be a solution, maybe. Will spend some time with it, a quick install was both interesting (it's really customizable) and disappointing (some things didn't work at all and I'm .. unsure how it interacts with my default lock screen, how the unlock process is changed).
Maybe just needs more time to check it out? Unfortunately I haven't found proper documentation and the spelling in the options is a bit hard in places [English is a foreign language for me too, so no blame here].
