Do not disturb - icon and notification gone - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I suddenly don't have a notification or icon anymore when I have DND activited, which is not so good. I already tried rebooting the device twice with no success.
I use the default theme and didn't making any mentionable changes.
Please tell me I can get this fixed without wiping my device or resetting my settings.

Try going into the phone settings and reset the app notifications and see if that does the trick [emoji6]

I didn't find an option to "reset" my notifications

Go to setting->apps then click on hamburger and select show all apps. Then go to systemui->storage and clear cache. Then reboot phone.
Also in notification setting you can click show system apps as well. Then you will see the DND toggle.

I did that, still not working. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else an idea?

I have all apps + system apps shown but there is nothing called "system ui". I also searched for "com.android.systemui". Nothing.

I'm talking through main settings. Go to apps. Then from the 3 dot menu show system apps. You have to have system ui. It's a vital peice of the OS. If you can't see the app then I have no idea what could be blocking you from seeing it. At that point I would reset it.

Do the same steps through notification settings from the drop down shade. Click advanced and then show system apps.

Yea I edited my post because I found system UI after changing the language to english. I guess I couldn't figure out the german name or I somehow didn't see it. However, I cleared the cache and rebooted with no success.

The same app has a toggle through notification settings. Select advanced and then the same 3 dot menu to show system apps.

Indeed it's shown as disabled. However, I can't change it.

What if you reset app preferences (3 dot menu). That's weird it wont toggle.

Lockscreen replacement?

I know I've talked about this before, but I'm wondering if people have any suggestions.
I'm looking for a lockscreen replacement that will allow me to use my own image as wallpaper. Ideally it will also have lollipop features (I quite like the stock lockscreen, but it would be so much better if I could put my own pic there rather than having it be my homescreen wallpaper).
I've tried AcDisplay - You have the option of homescreen or grey. Otherwise I like it.
HiLocker - Selected image is zoomed WAY in for some reason which results in a pixelated image (even at 2K+ resolution).
Widget Locker - no longer supported.
I've emailed the devs on both AcDisplay and HiLocker, but never heard anything back.
I'd be just fine with keeping the stock lockscreen if I could figure out how to set a different wallpaper for it. Does anyone know if this is possible? Barring this, does anyone know of a good lockscreen replacement that would do what I want?
Xposed with Gravity box is what you need.
It will not have the security flaws that most lockscreen replacements have, and you can change the background.

Find the app in your app manager and untick the show notifications box.
---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------
That's if you want to keep using the app. If not, use titanium backup to remove it completely. However, unchecking the box may keep it from running properly at times, but that would be a very rare thing if it breaks it at all.

I actually figured it out right after typing that reply. Untick show current conditions in the notification settings for the app. Now I can actually see the picture of my kids when I have no other notifications.

Key sign on the notification panel

Hi guys, could anyone tell me why there is a key sign on the notification panel, beside the battery icon? Some say it's because of VPN. I don't have any idea abt it. On the VPN setting, "none" is selected. Anyone who can assist me on this????
It is because of a VPN. Any chance you're using Adguard?

None... I tried booting my phone to safe mode and it's still there. Also, did a factory reset and still there. It means one of the pre-installed apps must have been causing it...
That just means the shortcut panel is hidden/locked. You see when you slide down the notification panel the key sign vanishes

The shortcut to WiFi, Bluetooth, screen brightness. I'm not that good in vocabulary, but lets just say that the key ? means part of the notification panel or whatever panel it's called, is hidden. After you slide down the panel, it vanishes.

Correlation, not causation. The 4G/WIFI signal strength icon disappears too, it's just to make way for the settings cog and the rest.
OP, I can't get a screenshot with status bar pulled down (wtf, why does it retract when I long-press the power button), but I assume under your quick settings it also shows the same key with the text "Network may be monitored"?

Hehe... I was just wondering what that is cos I never have that when I was still using Z1. Again even after doing a factory reset, without installing anything, it's already there. Just kind of curious what that is. Only mwans one of the preinstalled apps is causing it.?

not preinstalled apps. its the system management settings. they are just doing that to keep tidy, and also to show you that "there are more things to see and edit" if you scroll down

'Displaying over other apps' notification

Hi,
I've installed from gplay an app control center.
It needs an overlay permission.
After that "displaying over other apps" is still on my notifications.. and can't be turned off.
Anyone solve this and hide?

The notification seems to persist until you tap it and open the settings, change something and then change it back and then close the settings activity

Is the only way to fix this to download another app from the Play store?

Samsung Experience 10 Launcher

Not my work, just sharing it here for good vibes - https://www.xda-developers.com/download-samsung-experience-10-launcher/
That's awesome. I can't wait to see the auto light /dark mode in action
Finally, the empty space where the icon labels and the nav bar hide...IS NOT space anymore. This and the unscrollable wallpaper on the homescreen were the only two eye poppers i always had in the new TW (weirdly, bot used to be hidden mods)
Well done Sammy, i even think they are using the boards here for feedback, sneaky bastards.
PS, dont forget to make the new launcher as default, or else it will crash and notify about some java thing.

i dont disable it, i hide it. i use the bixby button for exactly that. I dont think it's possible without root though, but i may be wrong.

Ok, so you can hide it on the home screen, unlike on Samsung experience 9 where it still shows if you hide it on the home screen. So you can swipe up to see it

Does not work on at&t note 8. Just crashes. Maybe because the app I have is not a update to 9.5 version but it's own apk. That's how it installed anyway.

You probably just set the old one as default again. Clear the launcher default settings (not the cache/data) and try again, i've already got it on on an S7E, S8, and S8+ phones. It should work as the leak itself comes from a Snapdragon variant dump, just like yours.

No it's exactly the same as 9 minus the settings. And I could not get it to stop crashing on my note 8 n950u with 8.0 crc2 build.
Ok it worked fine just not a lot of changes to me.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
I had to open the launcher settings and then go to the About section to get to the app options. Then I set Nova as the launcher and it lets me uninstall the version 10.
Thanks bro
Work perfectly
For my SM-N950F/DS
On this version I have no app icon notifications. Everything else is good.

The feature is disabled by default AFAIK but I successfully enabled it using this app: Settings Database Editor. You don't have to keep the app afterwards, you can safely remove it and the setting will persist.
In short, yes it have but needs to be enabled.

What is the name of the setting item?
I tried this and it works...but if I want to lower vibration intensity of thr haptic feedback can I edit the value of the following :
vib_feedback_magnitude
and make it 1 for example??
