Notifications - Best way to keep it clean? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Hello devs and fellow xz1 lovers!
Would like to know a way to keep my statusbar clean.
Especially the Stamina Mode notification.
Would be nice not to root.
Hate the fact that this is not recognized by Sony.
Or that Google doesnt allow a simple way to keep it clean.

Are you referring to the status bar or notifications? For the former, there's UI Tuner, which maybe could help with that, but I haven't tried it myself yet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-systemui-tuner-t3588675
For the latter, there's AutoNotification, which can help hide unwanted notifications: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification

Statusbar notification icons, which some are persistent.
For the XZ1C it seems the Stamina Mode and more.
AutoNotification did the trick, thanks!
Sad that it contains ads.

You can pay a small amount to get rid of the ads ?

Notification Icons on Lollipop

This may not be possible but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to get the notification icons that pop up on the status bar to be more like the KitKat icons? I've got some notifications that show up as a plain white square on my status bar ever since I upgraded to Lollipop a few months ago.
Let me give you an example of couple that I'm running into. I have the NASCAR Mobile app on my phone. I also have the 14News app (local news) on my phone. Anytime I get notifications from either of these apps, I get a plain white square on my status bar and I have to take the time out and look and see what it is. I'm wondering if it is something in the Motorola settings that I'm missing because I am also running Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8") tablet and I don't have these issues on that device at all.
Any help that can be given to me on this would definitely be greatly appreciated.

do you have greenify? sometimes the system will lump those together if they've gone inactive for awhile and are greenified.

I've never had Greenify on my Moto X at all. These apps that I was talking about are apps that I use and get notifications from several times per week and I'd like to be able to tell at a glance which app is giving me the notification on my phone.
By the way, I've marked both apps as priority and I still get the plain white squares on these app notifications.

then perhaps it's due to too many notifications (sometimes from the same app). I noticed that on some apps like fb. on other apps like scrabble, there is a number embedded on the notification icon.
i believe there is a setting to tell whether or not to group them together or not.
There isn't anything like that on my status bar at all.
Are you asking if its possible to change the notification icon style on Lollipop to that of KitKat/Jellybean then yes its possible with the use of some Xposed mods. If the notification icons themselves appear distorted due to some reason then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the apps perhaps. A screenshot or two would have been really helpful in getting a better understanding of your issue here.
If you're asking about notification ticker, there's a module for Xposed by the name of 'Enable Notification Ticker'. I have it installed myself.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to root this phone but I may try it one of these days.

I'm not really talking about a notification ticker. I have tried these before and found them to be more annoying than useful for me. Thank you anyway for your input.

Expand lockscreen notifications

Hi,
for some reason I am unable to expand any notifications whether in lockscreen or in the notification shade.
Anyone knows a solution?
Do you have lockscreen security enabled? Pin, password or fingerprint. I don't think you are able to expand notifications before the phone is unlocked.
Yeah I have fingerprint. But the problem does exist in the notification shade, too (after unlocking)
Hi,
I agree on the fact that the notifications should be expandable only when lockscreen is unlocked...
However, I'm a little annoyed by the fact that it seems impossible to dismiss the notifications from the lockscreen: I'm used to pure Android, and when I received an email, I was able to dismiss the notification from the lockscreen (without changing the "unread" status of the mail).
On MIUI, I didn't found this option...is that possible in any way ?
Thanks
Well I did some research and found out that they REALLY STRIPPED THIS from aosp.
No I am not kidding. Appearently it is only possible to expand them in the notification shade (after unlocking) USING TWO FINGERS.
WTF Xiaomi?!
EDIT: I found this, but couldn't test it yet because I don't have xposed installed currently:

EDIT2: Or maybe this will work:

Yep ridiculous 2 fingers to expand a notification. Impossible with one hand very well thought out Xiaomi!

Disable network traffic indicators

They're kind of distracting, and imo useless. Any way to get rid of them?
Wouldn't be too bad if there was a dedicated space in the status bar for them, but when they come and go, icons to the left bounce around.

Yes I find them to be very distracting as well. I did a quick search to look on how to disable them but came up empty [emoji852]️

I ended up just disabling the data icon entirely. I almost never end up in a dead zone without signal/wifi, and if you really want to know you can use a widget or KLWP or something to make an indicator on your desktop.

Enable the System UI Tuner by pulling down the notification shade and long pressing the settings gear icon for a while.
Then, find System UI Tuner in the System Settings. From there you can disable various icons.
Sony monitor their own Community forums for feedback. There are a few threads over there already about these network indicators causing icons to shift around; plenty of people find them irritating. Be sure to add your thoughts to those threads and hopefully Sony will change the icons in a future update.
I went to phone settings and found a Sony email address and sent some feedback mostly about the status bar indicators, nfc icon, auto brightness, and missing Oreo night mode (blue light filter). But I'll check out the Sony forum. Both Oreo and the phone are fairly new, so maybe it's just they need to polish the software a bit.
I thought I was the only one finding this annoying. I was about to create a new thread about it. I think what I can do for now is to disable the entire icon and install some third party app for wifi indicator.

Remove VPN icon from status bar (S10+)

Hello community, is there a way to remove VPN icon from status bar/notification list? I tried SystemUI tuner, but it doesn't work on S10+ and QuickStar (Good Lock) does't have the VPN icon listed in its setting.
Without root I have to use ADGuard (or similar) to remove AD, but they use VPN to filter them. VPN icon is very annoying especially because it's always shown in AOD. Any clue?

I think the best you can do without mods is minimize the notification, which still appears in the list.
Think of it as a status indicator, without it you wouldn't know if you were connected to the VPN right?

I don't think I can minimize such VPN notification. However, it will be always stay on AOD.

Correct, but as I wrote, it's very annoying icon. I'm searching a way, at least, to hide from AOD! ...while waiting for S10 root
You can try AdHell3. I'm using it without any problems and there's no VPN icon, because it doesn't use a VPN.

Yes, already installed, but it doesn't block all ADs, maybe I have to add more domains than the default one. Which domains you use with AdHell3?

I can minimize it on my device. Also, it doesn't show on my AOD screen. Long press the notification and select "details".

Wait, do you mean the ADGuard notification? This can be blocked without issue, I'm referring to VPN notif (the key). I'm not able to remove nor to minimize it.

I just use the hosts file from mmotti's git which was preinstalled. AdHell3 allows just a number of domains and all other lists I tried are exceeding this number.
But I didn't noticed any Ads that weren't blocked - even Google AdSense are getting blocked.
With AdGuard I noticed a mid range battery drain but with AdHell3 not.
Try autonotification from Google Play.
It works for me

No. I'm referring to the system vpn notification. I'm aware of the adguard notification. I've been using it for 4 years
Not sure why you can't. In the notification settings for vpn it allows me to change it to silent n minimized. Don't be fooled by the greyed out slider on the page listing the notifications. Click it to open the options for the notification.

Would you be so kind to explain how you do it?
Autonotification seems to require the name of the app one wants to block the notifications of. Is there one specific app to mention? Or is it a different kind of setting?
Thanks in advance!
Another thing I've recently stumbled across is called good lock. You can get it from the Galaxy store... it allows you to remove multiple icons from the status bar. Such as Bluetooth, alarm icon, VPN icon. It also allows you to do many other ROM customizations without root.

Notification settings help

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to have sound & vibration turned on for an app notification but it does not show on my notification bar. Is there a way to do that even if with a 3rd party app? I'm using a galaxy s10 rooted.
Thanks
Bump
