Way to disable phone notifications? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a problem with my phone showing a new voicemail notification every time it reboots, even though I don't have voicemail. So can I disable the phone app's notifications?
I have root.
Cheers

I had this same problem and I ended up redoing my rom and it fixed it and didn't happen again. Try using titanium and clearing cache on all apps and system apps and restarting. Good luck

Thanks.
I am currently just using the stock rom, and deleting the phone app's data gets rid of the problem temporarily, but it comes back every time I reboot.
I guess I'll have to live with it for now.

FRF91 update is buggy

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.

I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)

[Q] Notification bar not working after froyo upgrade?

I just updated my UK unbranded galaxy s to froyo (JPO) using kies (no hacks, just worked).
I'm now running into an issue with the notifications bar. It was working, then I went to the market and updated some apps, and now it keeps stuffing up. It starts off working fine then something happens, and after that I try to drag it down and it goes down a few pixels then stops. I have to hit the back button to close it in order to continue using the phone.
I thought it was launcher pro having problems with it, so uninstalled and went back to touchwiz. After doing that, it worked for a little while, but now its started it again.
Has anyone got any advice? I'd rather not have to hard reset if possible...
ps, I tried searching but couldn't find anything
I have the same on my international I9000 (JPO) every now and then, also usually after installing apps. Restarting the phone fixes it, but when it happens it's pretty annoying.
Here's assuming that you, like me, didn't wipe your SGS after upgrading to 2.2? I can't be bothered to reinstall everything right now, but I would speculate that after a wipe the issue is gone.

yeah I didn't wipe it, was really hoping to keep everything in tact, but this is annoying me so I'll probably end up wiping it unless someone has a solution for us
this has also been happening to me, anybody got a fix for it? i wiped the phone initially and then backed up the apps with titanium backup which might also be a reason. hoping theres an easier fix around this though!
So even wiping it resulted in the same issue? bugger
I'm also getting this. I did a factory reset before upgrading, so I don't think that's it.
I've found with auto rotation on and touch pro, you can grab the bar, rotate the phone and it will show you just enough of the notification bar to select what you want.
Is there any way to force close the notification bar and reload it with out restarting the phone?

I've gotten this problem a couple of times too. What's interesting to note is that the bar comes down fully and without problem if you activate it via <menubutton>->Notifications.
But of course, that's not available when you're within another program; only works from the desktop. So it doesn't really make this problem less annoying.

ha, yeah thats the same for me too, at least I can see the notifications if I really want to!!
I'm having the same problem with my i9000 with JPM. I upgraded with kies, installed voodoo lagfix and my notification bar freezes every so often. Also screen wont rotate anymore which is a real pain.
I am having the same problem with my galaxy s after upgrading to froyo. I upgraded using the reg edit hack as the phone was branded to 3 in the uk but got tired of waiting for them to release froyo.
Thought it might have something to do with that but i did a factory reset after the upgrade and it hasnt solved the problem.
very strange! any suggestions would be gladly received...

That's interesting because someone told me that installing Voodoo fixed the issue for him. He probably just hasn't run it for long enough then...
I had this, factory reset solved it. Just remember to back up anything important.
Do you have advanced task killer installed? Deinstall it (deactivate also would be enough)and install the version for froyo from the app store that made the trick for mine

Same problem. Usually experience after updating an app from market or when the market app update available notification comes app. I click on it. Usually it is Angry Birds. I don't update that. And then I start experiencing this problem.
Did a factory reset after flashing JP6. No lagfix. No advancedtask killer.
Have to reboot each time this happens.
please test this:if the notification bar is not working start the task manager kill one app after another and test the nb then make a ram clean and test it again
we could find out if an app is a reason(but i can't imagine it could be an app beside of an task killer) so we will have to further search for a reason (perhaps i will find something in the cernel differences (i am a developer but not for android and not kernel stuff at all)but i doubt that one too )) atm i am kind of idealess sorry

I had this exact same problem for a few days. It would irritate the **** out of me. I read somewhere that restarting the phone might work. And it did for me. So it might be worth doing. Just restart your phone, no factory reset or anything, a simple reboot.
I'm not saying this will work, just that it fixed it for me.

I was in the middle of a skype call just now. Skype decided to freeze. Gave me an option of force close or report it. I did a force close.
And then notification bar decided to not work. There was no app running in the task bar so I cleaned the ram. Still didn't work. Had to reboot.

It happens for me with the market as well.
smth has to cause it can u confirm that it does happen in large percentace of cases after force closes or does it even happen randomly? does somebody know a good log programm which we could run on ur galaxys so we can really see what happened right befor the nb doesn't work anymore(i think we need program activity and deamons running......)
sorry for my bad english it's getting too late and it isn't my native language...

it is the notifications that cause it. Skype was also running in the notification bar and market update also comes up in the notification bar. When any of those crashes and are force closed. Notification bar gets screwed.

Data drop??

I'm running serendipity 6.4
Lately my data just randomly stops working. for a while I was turning data off in the extended power menu after browsing or sending mms or using the market. The last few days ive been keeping it on when I'm not using it. it will say it is on on the notification bar but wont receive any data. If i reboot with data enabled it will fix itself but then I get the amazon market error in some apps saying that I have to reinstall the app. Sound like my ip its getting changed our something? What the bleep is going on here?

Swap modems?
I have been seeing this as well. The only time I see it is when I am at work.
I stream Pandora as well as use IM+ alll day at work. Pandora has no issues as it caches data, but I see my IM+ connection resetting every so often. Also occassionally when attempting to access the internet the site will be initially unavailable.
I have tried several modems all with the same result, messed around with my band settings and even reflashed my ROM clearing all caches.
I have been watching for someone else with the same issue. This is the first post I have seen addressing it.
in addition to my data dropping it also happens with my service, seemingly around the same time if not in unison.
To the above poster: are you running serendipity 6.4 on a captivate?
Note: I had been running serendipity 5.x and switched to phoenix ultimate to test it. Had a bunch of problems with it so i switched back to serendipity. my phone hasn't been the same since. Weird random problems like this. I've odin master cleared and reflashed a coupled times but it didn't bring back my first flawless experience with serendipity before trying phoenix. Maybe I should try the stock rom and see if the problem persists..

I am running Phoenix Ultimate and always flash back to stock.
I wonder if phoenix has something to do with it. dont see how that would affect me tho since I'm not using it now. I also flash stock and master clear everytime. I did clear dalvik cache as someone motioned earlier and it hasn't happened yet.

i feel i should also mention that i have been seeing a gray icon in my notif. bar which i believe appears during data sync. its like recycle circle. looks pretty much identical to the reboot icon in the extended power menu. so - maybe i have too many apps and too many of those apps are set to auto sync and when they do it jams my data connection. still doesnt explain the affect on the amazon apps tho. im just rattling things off here to try and figure out whats going on and maybe jog someone elses brain in the process.
I get the sync icon in the notification bar as well. If I refresh gmail it will appear.
I have not heard of any others on the Phoenix ROM having this issue.
I've turned off auto sync in system settings and I haven't had the problem since. Its only been a couple days but so far so good. Still can't figure out why it affects amazon app authentication tho. Only thing I can think of is that with the syncing and data freezing my connection resets and I get assigned a different ip and can no longer validate with amazon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Still no drops. I'm not having lag issues anymore either. I guess turning off auto sync was the fix. Prolly had a bunch of apps auto-syncing at once.

Well it didn't solve the amazon app force close. Just happened again when I opened gentle alarm.

Spotty notifications

Hey everyone I'm at wits end trying to figure this out. More I know something is not right then the fact I'm not getting notifications. However, I'm on the Oreo beta and have flashed back to stock as well. I do not get notifications from Facebook. I have fully wiped the phone in recovery with cache as well. It's the only app with the issue I can see. I put my FB account on an old S5 and it works great. I know the factory wipe doesn't really get rid of all the data. Is there anything I can do or anyone with a similar issue that has fixed this? Everyone I open the app it refreshes like it went to sleep but I have turned off app monitor for it.

Question Spotify is acting odd

This might be the app itself but I didn't have any issue on my S20. Since I updated the phone it randomly cuts out. Any ideas? Never on WiFi though...

Is it when the screen is off? Check it's not been put to sleep in battery settings
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.
I'll try a reset.. thankyou
Let's be honest, the Spotify app has issues too begin with. On my S21 and Pixel 4 it can be playing songs to my earbuds then suddenly stop running in the background on its own! Unlock the phone and itis still open in the foreground.
Perhaps it's time for a new music app if this is a known Spotify issue... But if it's not a Spotify issue, then check in your battery settings (as others have mentioned) to see if your phone automatically started putting it into "Sleep Mode".
