Sort notifications by time - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys!
Just move to android from iPhone's since day one. I do have it about 5/6 months and I was hable to sort all of the different settings and I can say that I'm really happy with the change.
I only have one little problem that makes me crazy, can't get notifications sort by time like the iPhone, so I constantly get "Ding" and can't tell what it is calling my attention... I talked this issue with a friend from office, he has a Xiaomi, and it does have the notifications sort by time, the screen wakes and highlight the notification when arrives. That's exactly what I need! Tried some apps like Glympse but only change the home screen and not the notifications on the status bar.
Why Galaxy notifications are set like this? is there a order that I can understand?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is my note 8 on Oreo notifications:
Thank's and I'm sorry if this was on other site but was not able to find a fix for this
PD: Can't make images smaller

Nobody can?

it happens because of "priority notifications"
Swipe a notification to the right/left just a little until you can tap the gear, then check whether or not they're priority.

Thanks a lot a very simple answer to a question I have been struggling with since I changed devices. My thanks sir. It's a small thing that I wasnt sure I could change.

Same here
Hi everyone. I am facing the same problem, and it has nothing to do with priorities, it seems Android is set that way but I can't figure out how Android sorts notifications; I've tried replacing the notification bar by some other app but it still sorts it the way Android does. I've searched all over the internet but no solution so far. It seems that only Emui and IOS counts with that feature. Has anyone find a solution?

I'm having the same issue with the new s10. Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?

I Think the Notifications are sorted by the Type. So notifications wird popups are shown higher then notifications with just Sound.

I bet the option doesn't exist because of Google's position as an ad company. Apps are essentially advertisers and they likely abhor the idea that their notifications could be user sorted. They want prioritisation.

Chronological Notifications
If the Notifications are not chronological then they are useless. It is absolutely ridiculous and unproductive to have to scroll for two minutes just to try to figure out why your phone just beeped. I use BlackBerry Hub. It's a third party email app that also conglomerates all of your phone's app and calendar notifications and displays them in proper chronological order. I highly recommend BlackBerry hub if you have multiple email/social media accounts managed on one phone. Otherwise good luck trying to figure out who is trying to reach you with these Google add based notification displays.

I have this exact problem in my Oneplus 6. Is there any solution? I hate Android due to this. Why there is no simple option in the settings to sort notifications based on the time they arrived?

i tried so much its so sucks
u can try notification master app
u can see all notifications arranged bu time

I'm going F'n nuts with these Android notifications. Same problem, I get an alert sound then check notifications and I have no F'n idea what just alerted me. They need to be sorted by reverse date/time order with the latest at the top (ideally). Who the F wrote the notification code? Do they even use their own phone?

HTC Home - Sound: Automatic?

Ok... I have an AT&T tilt that I flashed with the default HTC rom. I'm using the HTC home screen and need to know what a button does.
What exactly does the Sound: Automatic button do?

basically automatic is with your calender.
I believe if you create a schedule and set it to busy / out of office or something of that sort, it will automatically switch the phone to vibrate/ silent. and once th e session is over, it will switch it back to the original status
Hmmm... ok. Thanks. I was actually hoping that it would automatically silence alarms at night or something.
Since this isn't what it does, can anyone tell me if there is some software that I can set the alarms off at night with? I hate going through menuhell to change the settings every night.
Well, you can always make an appointment with bed
Menu hell?
Automatic doesn't appear to work for me which is too bad since SPB Phone had this feature that I thought was fantastic.
Don't know of a program to do what you want but two buttons to the left is the silence button. Menu hell? Just a thought...

You could try phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) it can do a lot of things!
this feature is kinda gay...
This feature is def kinda gay. I was hoping that i could switch from my custom ringtones with this to my work ringtone, that overrides everything. This would leave for a set of default sounds, sliding/ringtone for business, and custom for play.... lame..

I have personally observed this feature causing my phone to engage in homosexual activities with other HTC devices.
this feature does seem useful in theory but in practical instances, it is a bit risky to use in my opinion.
I'm going to set my work schedule in my calender just for this. Thanks for the clarification. My Kaiser is bi methinks.
Sorry to bump a old thread..figure better than starting a new one.
This is kind of related to the HTC home..
I noticed my "tapping sound" has been disabled ever since installing the HTC home cab. I've tried to re-enable the tap sound via the settings..it shows enabled but still no sound? Is this normal...or did I do something wrong?
And is the alarm function always this slow? It seems to take forever to repeat...actually sounds kind of weak? I've used different phones but this HTC seems to be pretty retarded when it comes to the basic functions.
Thanks.

Looking for 2 apps.

Hey guys.
I've searched for a couple of hours for 2 apps and can't find them. I ran a search on xda and nothing.
First app:
A battery indicator that i can see in the notification area but does not have a icon on the notification bar. I want to be able to drop down the notification bar and see the status of my battery in percentages. I prefer my notification bar as clean as possible.
Second app:
Power controls in the notification area. I found Quick Settings, but that opens another app to change the settings. I'm looking for a way to activate wifi, bluetooth and so on just by taping something in the notification area.
Thanks.
So, the conclusion is that there are no such apps?
It s only too much.
Quick settings is very impressive. It starts the app from the notification bar, thats right.
But, what would you all switch from the notification bar:
Wifi
APN
Brighness
GPS
Auto Sync
Bluetooth
Airplane Mode
etc...
There are too much options for one notification bar.
I'm thinking that an app like this would let me choose 3-4 toggles. I realize it's impossible to have them all.
Oh, and a toggle does not take a row, instead all the toggles should be on the same row but with separators between them.
OK, I' have to say, that I never found such a programm. Sorry.
Something like this:

So the default power bar widget won't work for you? It's pretty much exactly what you pictured, however a widget.
If you want to choose and have your own order, use beautiful widgets.
Why try and cram this into the notification area? You have 5 desktop screens (more with add-ons and custom ROM's) to put this stuff. Navigation from screen to screen is fast and easy (even if you hate the swipe thing).
Or this even? http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.extendedcontrols/
Dunno, just lost as to why I guess.
Yes, you are right, it looks like the power settings widget, but i want it in the notification area to be able to change settings without leaving the current app and stop using the widget. I need the space for other stuff
moved to the Q&A section
What about quickdesk? Kmobs hads mentioned it on twitter couple of times. you can put anything you want even the settings widget and can change it without leaving the app.

Hm, its getting close to what i want. I'll give it a try.

Are you talking about the widget? If yes, its not what i'm looking for. Like i said, both apps need to display something in the notification area, so no widgets and no notification bar icons.

i never tried it but damn is too bad the home button gets removed didn't know it. but the app is in beta maybe it will get fixed.
UPDATE: Today the QuickDesk app was released on the market and it fixed the issue, so now i can use it
One problem solved.
PS: I strongly recommend QuickDesk so go download it.

What would you like to see on screen lock?

So... What would you like to see on screen lock?
I am researching how to make a lock screen, its current status is the image:
What to add?

Nice start
What would be nice, music controls like play pause and next track ;-) thats for now

Hi,
that's a agood idea.
For me, the lock screen should contain my important information such as:
My next meetings
icons showing unread messages, mails, reminders
Control the media player
...
by the way, look at the S2U2 for WM (http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/)
3 words: LockInfo for iPhone
Great lockscreen mod. Wish I could have it on my Evo. Lots of screen room for all that info
Any new texts (tidbits)/emails/last 2-3 missed calls (name + number or just name)
Okay, new versión:
Do you like?
i quite like that
My ideal lock screen would be like my old meizu m8 had, quick pull up to messages, phone pad, and main page plus music controls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_R9YKuyiY
You should add a button titled "Me" at the top that person can click to call your home phone number or an emergency contact. That would be very helpful for people who forgot their phone somewhere and need to find it.

That. Is. Awesome! If you changed the icons to the glass icons of LauncherPro or allowed custom icons.. :O~
By the way, is the unlock bar final?
Nice start, unlock bar is kinda too long though. Also change "Lock Screen" to "Slide to Unlock". Change the notification bubbles to green like Android, make them optional colors in settings.
Can you give framework-res or other sources of this screen lock?
Maybe a weather-widget would be a nice addition. Furthermore music-controls would be useful (only when playing music).

Wow, that's looking very nice now. I think the notification icons at the bottom should be a single colour though, rather than the full colour icon, otherwise it looks like an app icon you can just tap.
You can add big clock on the top...
If I may add my $.02 to the mix..
First of all, this looks awesome!
Here's what I would like to see in a lock screen:
Time, Battery Percentage, Date, Media Controls
You don't need the missed call icons or anything, because you can see that on your notification bar...It's wasted space.
I DO like the idea of the "call me" idea with a pre-programmed number attached to it. I think this would even be a great app, linked with GPS and SMS.
**Someone puts in the incorrect unlock code more than 3 times, and it sends a SMS to a predetermined number with your phones coordinates attached.
Update: (Will soon be available in the market, its name: Simply Lockscreen)
The icons in the statusbar and below are not definitive
Also please have a unlock tone, nothing harsh or too low, but similar to the iPhone. Also put your location under or somewhere near the time. Here is probably one of the best lockscreens I ever used on my iPhone, would love to seen somebody implement something similar for Android.
Ive always felt like info on the lockscreen should be of more importance than the actual lock or look of lock. Sorry if I'm going iPhone crazy, but it's not about the actual phone but about the info being displayed. Also give people options to show what they want, IE: Weather, Calender, Emails, Missed Calls, Text Messages since a lot of people like/want different things on there lock screen.

[Q] Heads Up Notifications

I was wondering if I was missing a setting somewhere. I have just switched from 4.4 to 5.0.1 and I don't see any heads up notifications on my Nexus 6. I thought this was a feature but I must have to enable it somewhere that I haven't seen yet. Any help with what I need to do is welcomed.

Twitter - Stayed on the screen for less than half a second and then disappeared
Got no notifications from:

Headsup notification is not available for all app ATM. Only those app which enable notification with setPriority(PRIORITY_MAX) or setPriority(PRIORITY_HIGH) will be available for headsup notification. BTW go to settings>sounds and notification> interruption> when call and notification arrive and select "always interrupt" if it has not been selected yet
With some custom roms such as SlimLP, you can turn it on and off for all apps.

SmarterBit
Hi everyone! I have recently released an Xposed Framework module called SmarterBit to allow you to enhance your Fitbit Charge and Charge HR fitness trackers.
Features
SMS/Text Notifications
Custom SMS/Text notification format
Notifications only if the device screen is off
Hide Caller ID for phone calls
and many more to come!
Features I am currently working on adding are quiet hours (either "intelligent" based on your Fitbit detecting sleep or a user-set range), Tasker implementation, smart alarms, and adding more integration with other messaging services (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, etc.)
Link
The app is currently on sale through the Google Play Store for $1.50 and can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikerinehart.smarterbit
I am open to any and all suggestions for feature additions from the community
I just installed the app and I'm testing it out. I see messages typically get cut off. Is this just a screen timeout limit? I sent you a PM too.

Unfortunately yes - the screen timeout limit is a firmware limitation.
How about MMS notifications? I understand you can't translate pictures into text, but sometimes there is text accompanying the picture. You could add the option to customize like SMS so that you could at least see who the MMS is from (ex: MMS received from %sender%).

Heh, I was actually thinking about this the other day. I'll see what I can do
Did today's Fitbit app update break your app? SMS is no longer working for me. I see they implemented new Notification settings in the app update today.
I just bought the app and coincidentally Fitbit app has updated as well, so I couldn't get SMS notifications working after setting everything up. Calls got displayed on my Charge HR as they would with Fitbit's own Caller ID.. Thought of refunding the app but then stumbled across the post above. I can Enable SmartBit in the Fitbit app, but SMS notifications don't show up on my wrist.
Update:
After rolling back the Fitbit app to 2.10 (I don't care for GPS routes in 2.11 as I don't own a Surge) and deleting app data for SmartBit I can tell for sure that neither of notifications worked with 2.11. The vibration pattern SmartBit uses for CallerID is different to the default one-time kick from Fitbit's Notification. Also, when SmartBit actually overrides the default notification engine there's no indication of 'Notifications are running' in the status bar. What seems to have changed in 2.11 is the fact that they now allow you to select from multiple notification sources - Dialer, Skype .. whatever have you. SmartBit must not be set up to deal with these, despite the fact that it overrides the default 'Enabled Notifications' with 'Enable SmartBit' in Fitbit's application.
On a related note, I previously had a Huawei phone (H30-U10), where SMS were being routed as calls by default (I guess for their own Talk Band device), so my CHR was reading them as a classic pager would without any human intervention. Switching to a Sammy phone has lost me this feature so I was forced to look for a workaround.
Yes - the latest Fitbit update breaks SmarterBit. Please rollback to the previous version (2.10 I believe) if you would like SmarterBit functionality... At least until I can reverse engineer their new changes and push an update. I've recently started a new full-time job so I don't have as much time as I used to, but I'll try my best to get it updated for everyone
