Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.
I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.
I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.
This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.
So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.
SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.
watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.
This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

I've noticed that if you use a third party app for SMS like Signal, you dont get a notification unless the application is open, same with gmail.
Has anyone else noticed this?
go to advance setting >battery manager >protected app and check if application is not checked on , that's mean when screen is off the application will not work unless you open it... so if you need notification from certain apps just mark it on

This is a the 'doze' function in Huawei EMUI. A lot of firmwares have this issue. It's because Huawei has blacklisted many apps to not to send notification when screen is off. The apps that are white-listed include WhatsApp and some Chinese Tencent crap.
There is a method to enable notifications for all apps but obviously that requires root.
And yeah, Welcome to EMUI, a UI that plays with your emotions.

All I can say is I have turned on every apps to run when the screen is off. I do t get any notifications, only if I go on the app or if I turned the phone off then back on I get a batch of notifications. I receive certain apps notification but its not consistent. Can't wait for a good root, to get rid of this crappy EMUI and hopefully the camera app will be ported, I'm happy with the pbone, the camera, but this UI is from hell.
Weird, I have 0 issues with notifications, everything turns up very quickly. Gmail, whatsapp, youtube comments... Etc.
I also use Nils lockscreen notifications though, I have the huawei lockscreen notification system disabled. It works very well like this until I find the time to root.

I only disabled the huawei lockscreen notification system (to disable the lockscreen all together you need root). Just use any lockscreen other than the stock magazine one in the theme selecter.
The UI certainly is different. But imho customizable enough that it doesn't get in the way. This is android after all.

OK if you guys have root i have something to try for you. I had issues with the process of GMD gesture control. It was killed by the battery saving tools implemented in this phone.
So I tried freezing certain system apps through titanium to find the one responsible for closing the background process and I think I found it:
It's a process/app called "power genie". I disabled it and now the process sticks. Also I made gesture control a system app, so maybe it's a combination of the two things.
It's not the same issue as you had but maybe it works for you too.

So does this method allow for notifications to come through without having firstly opened the application then going to home-screen with it still open?

You'd have to try that out for yourself because I never had any issues with notifications coming through and I use third party software (Nils) for lockscreen notification.
What I described is a method that prevents a Huawei "power save" service called power genie killing background processes. No guarantees though, I had issues with gmd gesture control not working after a few minutes and I had to constantly open the app to make it work again. Then I froze power genie and since then it worked 100%.
So it's just my theory that it might stop other apps/processes from being closed as well.
I still dont get notifications coming through via the official gmail app, i might trying that power genie freeze, since any app thats not Huawei wont come through as a notification and thats when I give the app full access.'
I'm not sure if this is worth a try, but there's an option to 'ignore optimisations' on a per-app basis.
In settings > Apps > Advanced > Ignore optimisations > All apps
I've instructed to ignore optimisations for Dash, an app with a background service that launches the app upon connection to my car's Bluetooth OBD. I'll feed back if this has any impact, as I've noticed it doesn't auto-start the app on the Huawei P9 as it used to on my Nexus 5, despite 'protecting' the app in the battery manager.

If it's just Gmail, try deleting cache and data for the Gmail app and reboot first. My wife had the same issue just with the Gmail app a few days ago (on a galaxy s3 though).
Same issue with Instagram so I guess it's not only gmail
This is the app I use to block ads when I don't have access to root. Two annoying things about it. The first is that it will mess up your battery stats. Everything gets filtered through this app so it can scrub out the ads on web pages. This makes the phone think that the app is using a ton of battery. It's not using any extra battery it's just having all traffic pass through it. It explains this when you install the app.
Also there is a persistent notification in the notification shade and if you try to disable it, after a certain amount of time Android will kill the app in the background and ads will appear again. I don't like clutter in the notification shade so it bugs me.
Other than those 2 things this is AdAway without root. Enjoy.
https://m.adguard.com/en/install.html
My ads keep coming back and I have to disable and re enable Adguard. I have both the status bar notification running and the notification shade persistent notification running at all times. I went into settings and disabled battery optimization for the Adguard app as well. It still stops functioning after a while. This is why I can't live without root....
Not sure why your adguard keeps stopping - I have never had this problem. But you can get rid of the persistent notification easily. Android Settings -> Sound & Notification -> App notifications -> Adguard -> Never show notifications from this app .
Persistent noticiation never appears again.
Did this on day 1, bought the lifetime subscription for about $4 in rubles on the website.

I stopped the notification the moment I installed it. Without the notification Adguard eventually falls out of ram and then the ads really come back. The notification needs to be there apparently. The weird thing is there is no way to get rid of the key in the status bar, you would think that would be enough. Who knows. My ads come back no matter what I do lol

Strange. I suppose it's possible that just hasn't happened to me yet? I've had no problems with it staying running so far.
Another idea, I use an app called KeepRunning to restart my spam call blocking software automatically. ShouldIAnswer also wants to run in the foreground, and of course have a persistent notification. I would just have blocked that like AdGuard, but it actually has notifications that I want to see, and it's all or nothing with blocking notifications. So instead I use the option to run it in the background, and monitor it with KeepRunning to be sure it gets restarted if it dies. You could use this technique for Adguard too. It's not perfect because it causes some UI effects when restarting the softare, but it seems to happen so rarely it's not a problem at least for me.
There's also Tasker which you could use to monitor and restart adguard, but I was too lazy to figure out how to do it with Tasker, so just paid $2 for KeepRunning instead
I figured out how to get the ads to stop coming back. It was a setting in Adguard. Settings > Advanced > Low Level Settings: pref.vpn.disable.pause <---------- Check the box next to that.

I too am using Adguard. First nonrooted phone I have had in a long time but have to make it work for my job. I bought the app after using it for the 2 week trial period. I am not seeing any ads getting thru. Seems to work as well as Adaway did on my rooted Turbo and does on my 2013 nexus 7 tablet. Don't notice any performance issues or excess battery drain, at least not after 3 weeks.

I have a different phone now but it's on Nougat and ad blocking works.
hmm it doesn't let me install the app
Blockade on the XDA store works really well. some ads still make it through, but for being a non root app it works well.

Hi everybody, i used to use adhell until the dev took it down, now disconnect pro is subscription based which is too expensive.
Is there any alternative that uses Knox to avoid the need for root?
Thanks!
Block this!
I use Samsung Internet with the adblock plus extension which works for blocking ads in browsers.

I tried it a few days ago and it rebooted and once back on kept crashing Touch Wiz. I had to uninstall it as it made the phone unusable. Currently using Blokada which has been working great.

thanks for the Blokaka mention. just installed it and it works perfectly. found an ad-ridden app to test it on an it was great.
my favs two ad-blocking apps (via VPN and non-root ) are DNS66 and Blokada
Another vote for Block-This. I used it on my S7E and am using it on my Note 8, both unrooted Verizon phones. Works awesome. But you do have to tolerate a notification icon for it. Small price to pay, IMO.
I used to use Disconnect Pro. Since it's yet to be compatible with Note 8, I've been using Adguard premium. It works like a charm. I love how it cleans the page.

I use Adguard Premium whenever I get a new phone before root. Works pretty well but I've only used it for 2 days on my Note 8 & only 1 day on my Note 5.
Only thing is I hate that there's 2 permanent notifications that you can't get rid of when it's enabled.
Block This! has been pretty hit/miss with what gets through. I've added my Adaway lists to block this but it's not all that great. I'll have to try the other mentions.
I tried Adhell2 but it just constantly reboots my phone. Soft reboot too, I don't see the boot logo, just the "enter your pin to continue the boot" thing.
For web browsing I've just been using firefox with the ublock origin addon. I don't have any suggestions for apps (most of the ones I use are paid and don't have ads)
These apps are not in the play store right? Could you guys post links, so I don't inadvertently download a malicious apk? :highfive:
I got really excited about Blokada until it said it has to be set up in Android as a VPN service. I already have a VPN service, IPVanish, and Android won't run them both.
Hello
I've tried every VPN based adblocking apps like Blockada, Block This, DNS66, Adguard, etc.
The one I use now is DNS66 with custom DNS filtering than filtering with the hosts file.
To do this, Install DNS66 and open the app. Go to "Hosts" tab and disable filtering there. Now switch to DNS tab and deselect all the DNS there and add the Adguard DNS addresses. They are as follows:
176.103.130.130
176.103.130.131
Enable the newly added Adguard DNS and switch the Custom DNS filtering button on. Now go to the main Tab and click start.
I've found this method to have very minimal battery impact compared to the others. And also, there is no slowdown of the internet speed. :good:
Enjoy!

Yeah, that's annoying, but I find that it does wear down my battery (especially while on standby) far more than I'm comfortable with.

Not really. But it has stopped blocking Ads on my device again. I'm using Blockada now. What I liked about Disconnect is that it's not VPN based, so I can use another VPN to get around the internet restrictions in Indonesia at the same time.
I have a tmobile note 8 and ever since I upgraded to Android 8, push notifications are coming in delayed and all at once at random times. Take outlook for example, an hour might go by and then all of a sudden dozens of notifications hit all at once. I checked if maybe battery settings were messing with outlook but it is not blocked and my phone is in performance mode. Seems like my phone is going into a deep sleep and not doing push notifications as they come in. Any idea what is happening?
Same thing happened to mind after update. But seems to be resolved now. I think I went into Apps then pressed the three dots in the up right corner and chose reset app preferences. I also messed about in the notification menu somewhat prior to that.

Factory reset. A good practice after a major software update.

Disable the GOOGLE app in app manager. It should ask you if you want to go back to the factory app. Just agree to this. This is assuming you checked to make sure Battery Manager wasn't turning off your app or the data saver wasn't killing your app data access. If you have done these things and your app notification is still delayed it is being caused by the GOOGLE app. Listed as "Google" in app manager. Hope this helps someone else.
UPDATE: I should have mentioned for a permanent solution and to allow you to continue using the GOOGLE app you can go to the Google Play Store, find the installed GOOGLE app, click uninstall to revert to the factory GOOGLE app, once uninstalled click the three dots at the top right and Uncheck the Auto Updates to the GOOGLE app. This will allow you to retain the factory app functions and should resolve this notification issue at the same time.
