Hangouts user profile pictures not showing on the notification popup? - Android Auto General

New to Android Auto here...just bought a 2017 Ford with SYNC3. I have a question for anyone that uses Hangouts. Are the user profile pictures showing for you on the notification when you get a Hangouts message? On mine, it just shows the capital first letter of the users name and not the profile picture I set for them. Small annoyance, sure, but I'm just curious if this happens with anyone else.

Facebook Notifications

New to XDA here, I have a Nexus One and don't seem to get any notifications on my facebook saying that ive been commented or added. The only was i find out is when i get an email.. I've tried searching threads for this same question, But there was alot of them and didn't seem to find what i was looking for. Can someone help me out or does anyone else have this problem?
The Facebook app (default one anyway) only supports Messages, Pokes, Friend Requests and Event invites.
If you're only using that, then as far as I know these are the only events you'll get notifications for.
Someone may well correct the errors above shortly though
Ok... So for example if someone writes on my wall that won't be something that the default facebook app on my Nexus will notify me about...???
Not sure about anyone else, but I do not receive any sort of notification in the tray on my NexusOne when Facebook events occur. It would be nice if a little blue FB logo would pop up in the tray with some sort of badge to notify you of the # of notifications you have... but Facebook has no love for Android and our FB app is far behind that of the iPhone (for example).
fb tells me when i have messages in the tray. you have to have facebook sync enabled under settings>account and sync>auto-sync enable for facebook.
probably have to change notification settings within the fb app as well

Expanded Notifications

Hi all. Was just wondering with notifications, is there anyway to view each notification in full? For example, if I get one text from one person, I can read the entire thing, but if I get 2 or more texts from the same person, they are all grouped together and you end up only seeing the first few words of the text. This is even more noticeable for whatsapp. Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks.

It all depends on the app supporting wear
Latest couple of whatsapp versions support wear and show each individually (can even reply via voice)
I would like to see more that a title of an exchange email but I think it has something to do with exchange.
It is the same if you have a Pebble, Gear or Android Wear, with Gmail you can read the email, with exchange you can not

It all has to do with how the notification gets delivered by the app itself, nothing to do with the watch

Whatsapp - read title of message

Hello Guys,
I've always used a simple automation to read from whom my whatsapp messages are while I was with my headphones and walking on the streets or the subway. It's useful for me to know if I might have to stop to read any of those or if I could just leave for later.
The events are:
Notification - Whatsapp
Headset plugged - Any
The action is:
Say %NTITLE
But recently, due to a whatsapp or Android 6 upgrade, this not always read the last notification title, but the first unread notification I got in whatsapp. For example, if I get a message from person A and then 3 messagens from person B, it would say 4 times message from person A.
I've tried the %evtprm2 variable as well. Does any one know of a way to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Hi,
Maybe you can look into AutoNotification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification
It gives you a lot more info on notifications, but I'm not sure if it can solve your problem. Make sure you open AutoNotification, and click 'Enable Notification Intercept'. Then create a new Event profile in Tasker: Plugin --> AutoNotification --> Intercept.
Hope this helps!
I'm using a third party app to read notifications by voice. There are many apps available on play store for this purpose.

Question Calendar Notification Bar Icon doesn't work ...

I'm going to be specific as I see so many answers that circle my problem, yet don't quite nail a solution for me.
DEETS:
Samsung 21S Ultra
Verizon
All the Icon's that pop up in the Notifications Bar for Email, Gmail, Text, WhatsApp, Instagratis and others work just as they're supposed to .... EXCEPT Calendar.
I get the Email/Gmail that a Calendar event has arrived, but nothing on the Notification Bar.
I go into Settings ---> Calendar ---> and see the options for: Show Notifications and it's turned to the "On" position along with: General Notifications/Ringtone Notifications/Other Notifications/App icon badges ... HOWEVER ... the "Show Notifications line is highlighted in Blue as if it's going to be "Copied", and although the switch is turned to "On", it's still in Gray-Scale and not in color.
In addition, the Ringtone Notification line is marked as "On" ... but it's also in Gray Scale and not in Color.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to fix this issue?
Please help!

Which calendar app are you using? The Samsung and Google apps have the same name, Calendar.
Can you clarify your particular issue - is the problem that you aren't receiving a particular type of notification? Is the problem that you cannot configure the notification settings? Is it both of these issues?
The description includes mention of receiving a calendar event, but it's phrased in a way that suggests a problem there. However, my understanding is that's the intended behavior. You don't get a calendar notification when you receive an email containing the calendar appointment. That email just causes the event to be added to your calendar, so there is no reason to be notified of that. Rather, you can add notifications to the event itself, and those will trigger when the scheduled time arrives. Is that the entirety of your issue?

Hi KingFatty,
Using the Google Calendar App.
It's seems you understood the problem correctly: I would get an email, but no Calendar Notification in the Notification Bar at the top of the screen. But I don't understand why you think I shouldn't get both. My email has always been separate from my Notification Bar and the rational is obvious ... one is an email to which can be accessed from anywhere and anyone who has access to my emails (secretary/assistant/etc) ... and the other is my phone which no one but me has access to ... so, this way if the email is opened, the notification that an email has arrived and is unopened disappears (see reasons above), yet if the Notification of a Calendar Event was displayed in my Notification Bar, I would still be notified there is an event in my Calendar.
This may not seem that important to you, but for the last 14 years, this is a system that has been working flawlessly and efficiently for my staff and I to sync perfectly and harmoniously.
UPDATE:
I have found a way to get the Calendar Notification to work as is has before I upgraded (not an upgrade as far as I'm concerned, Samsung has **** the bed with this "Ultra") ... and that is to dumb-down the notifications to it's lowest level and change two settings.
As I acclimate myself back to Samsung from LG ... I am getting the gist there is a language conversion/translation issue at play here, more than the things the phone is/isn't doing and/or can't be easily remedied.
If it wasn't for YouTube, this would still be an issue.
Thank you for attempting to offer help KingFatty. It is appreciated.
Regards,
Gregory
It's still uncertain to me - can you clarify what is the calendar notification you want to receive (e.g., in the notification bar at top of screen)?
I offered some speculation to try to illustrate the ambiguity.
But at this point, it sounds like you want to receive a calendar notification to let you know that your calendar has been modified?
Like, if I sent you a calendar meeting today, scheduling us to meet next week, you would want to get a calendar notification today, upon receiving the meeting? You will get whatever Calendar notifications I've set up in the meeting, which usually I like to set two: 1 hour in advance, and 15 minutes in advance. For some appointments I set three: 1 day in advance, 1 hour in advance, 15 minutes in advance. Those types of calendar notifications would come through, but it would happen next week, when we are supposed to meet. Calendar would trigger and send you those notifications.
But think about *how* did I send you that calendar meeting? How did you receive it? For the answer, it's sent and received via email. Google takes it upon itself to automatically add that calendar meeting to your calendar, upon gmail receiving the email without you even opening the email itself.
So that's the crux as far as I can see it: are you desiring that your calendar generates a notification when Google takes it upon itself to add the meeting to your calendar?

Thanks for your concern.
It doesn't matter whether the notification was about a meeting you're scheduling through an email link, my staff added something to my calendar, or there was something already on the calendar ... I was having an issue with getting a Calendar Notification Icon in my Status Bar.
As stated, I've found a solution, so I'm going to bail out of this volley.
Please see the other discussion in this thread - there is an issue with Google Calendar notifications being missed. The cause is unknown, it seems sporadic.
This problem is back again!
Calendar Notifications are an essential part of most people's day ... and Samsung can't get it right?????
I am hating this phone more and more every day!
Video Call Effects doesn't give me options other S21 Ultra's have ... and several other Samsung Apps are either faulty or incomplete. The new update hasn't done anything to help these issues either.
It's as if they (Samsung/Verizon) want you to go to Apple! LOLOL

Question Incoming calls not showing names

Hi,
I've recently moved from a Galaxy S21 to the Pixel 7.
Ever since, on my new Pixel, incoming calls (it might be for specific callers, still unsure) will not show their names, only the numbers!
Later on, on the recent calls list, their names will appear perfectly.
When the incoming call is just a popup over another app, or through notifications, it would actually show the name.
My headphones would even say the name of the caller with the incoming call.
But the phone app would only show a number.
Attaching screenshots.
I've tried already to clear both cache & data of the phone app.
Any suggestions are welcome!
In your contacts (address book app) are the numbers exactly the same as what is shown in the call log? No + or ( ) ?
Are you using the Google contacts app?
That's my only thought.
Hmm, thanks, I usually have people saved with their country code, and this shows just the local number..
I've tried adding now for one of them also the number without the country code, and funny enough even the popup now doesn't show their name :sss
I have the google contact app, though I'm not sure that's what's used by default on the pixel.
I've tried now to merge some 500 contacts through the google contacts app, it's said it'll take some while before it's reflected on my phone, will check again later if that's made any difference.
i had a similar issue when receiving sms messages and calls. i disabled the chat feature in the messaging app which solved the problem for me.

Does the phone app have permissions for Contacts? Did you try stopping the phone app, clearing the storage, and then reopen it?
