Phone Goes Directly To Notification When Opened - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

How do I stop my phone from opening an app when I get a notification in it. Example; I get a notification that I have a new post in Instagram. When I unlock my phone, it'll go directly to that post. Itll do it also if I get a notification while on the phone in a call. Soon as I take the phone away from my ear, it'll go to that notification.
I have a carrier Verizon Note 9, with 9.0, not rooted.

Anyone?

Are you sure you don't click the notification or screen before unlocking the phone?
This is an android feature i.e. it will land up on the app when you click a notification on lock screen. Obviously you have to go through the lock screen.
If this is not the case, I think you have to debug via logcat.

Good one. Also check apps having notification access. Disable them one by one and check.

By doing so, won't I be disabling notifications I'll get on my watch?

First confirm if that solves the problem. We need to find the cause first.

You both may have put me on the right path.
When I went to start disabling apps, I noticed this option in the Gear options. I turned it off, as it must have been on by default. I'll see what happens now.

Oh, how could I forget this. It's introduced in the new update I guess. Really annoying feature. You're safe to disable it.
Glad it helped.

Thanks. I've already confirmed that was it too. But I never thought to check the Gear for the problem. It did occur to me though that it happened everytime I got a notification on my watch that the same app would open on my phone.
Again, Thank You.

When I read your problem that was the first thing I thought causing it, cause I recently bought a galaxY watch and set it up

Not really there are a lot of differences between the different region ROMs. like activated NFC symbols and stuff. Maybe some are missing the "don't show again" options.

Go to Settings=>Apps=>All find my Xperia and uncheck 'Show notifications'.
Thats greyed out.
Probably because of the fact that it's a security app, it cannot be disabled through app settings. The only way that I found to freeze it was with Titanium Backup. Use that or a similar app.

Looks like you're going to have to root or put up with it
I had the same annoying problem – but after a long search I was able to find the solution for it:
With the App "Notifications Off" (Free in Google Play Store) notification settings can be set for each app - even for system-Apps (hence root privileges are required for this purpose).
The annoying notifications about "my Xperia" and STAMANIA mode (App "Eco-Mode Controller") can be disabled easily!
I use Elixir 2 to disable everything I want
I can't stop these annoying notifications, too
i have same problem, always show the pop up notification has stopped, what should i do ?

[Q] Data Usage Icon Won't Go Away ***HELP***

So I've been loving this device so far but the only complaint I have is that every time my phone needs to use mobile data, receive or place a phone call, or send or receive a text message, the "Data usage is running" icon will appear for literally less than a split second and it's annoying the hell out of me. I've managed to record a slow motion video on my S4 in order to capture a screen shot of the icon appearing in my notification bar which I've attached below. It looks like I'm able to stop it from constantly appearing but the darn thing isn't around long enough for me to click on it...ANY help? I have tried to go into my application manager and disable it that way but no dice. Also, not rooted and completely stock.
The text on the icon reads "Data usage is running - Touch for more information or to stop ...."
If you go to settings, wireless & networks, data usage. Do you have a checkmark next to alert me about data usage. Is yes, remove it.
Sent from my lair.
Yeah, unfortuantely I had already tried that and it didn't work... Have you experienced the same issue? It's gotten to the point where I'll deliberately send my device a text message from another phone and try to tap the icon in my pull down but it just disappears so damn quick. I know it isn't really that big of a deal but I'm sure I can't be the only one on here who nit picks their phone.

I didn't have that issue, even when my phone wasn't rooted. Is your phone rooted? If so what rom is it running?

Nope, totally stock. I've debated taking it in to Sprint but I know all they'll do is perform a soft reset (which I've done) and hand me back the phone.
Just got off the phone with HTC, That was essentially useless. Gonna take it in to Sprint tomorrow and cross my fingers for something good.

I don't mean to resurrect this thread, but I am experiencing the same behavior. It is on my Verizon M8. I was thinking about used Xposed to block the notification, but I'd rather determine the root cause and disable it there instead. Any reports on your findings?
Alas, no. I've just learned to live with it...

I am not sure as well. Like I said, I am rooted so for now I am just using an Xposed module to block the notification. It works great.
Think you could give a short tutorial? I'll probably root tomorrow. I just can't stand it anymore.

Yes, I am at work currently. I will give you a quick guide tonight when I get home.
After installing the Xposed framework, I installed the Notify Clean Module.

After that is running and ready, you need to trigger the notification so it can log it. Once that is done it will be listed as below.

Freezing the app appeared to have negative affects on my data connection. WIll keep trying some other things to see if we can actually fix the issue and not just hide it.

It IS important. Keeping an active notification helps prevent the system from closing it.
Long press the notification and once you go into app settings, disable notification... Wouldn't this help atleast till reboot?

Rogue app turning Sync On automatically

Hi guys.
I'm getting trouble since I got this S10+
I'm. Coming from S9+ and everything there was smooth as butter.
In S10 too, but there is a strange behavior.
I turn AutoSync off and after a while it's on again.
Checked Bixby routines, tried to catch some logs, but nothing.
Do you guys have any clue what could be turning it on?
Cheers

Have you check Samsung Cloud and other accounts too?

Have you tried an app like battery+ to check what is always on ?
Yes, I'll install again and check.
This issue is making me a permission check freak and I start to realize many apps have too many permission where they shouldn't. e.g. ES File having the permission to change the sync
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Have you tried AdHell?
It has the app components feature which is basically not only removing the permission but disabling access to the function all together.
Got to be careful with it, but I had some apps that have absolutely no reasons to access my phone state, GPS and storage for example.

Low Power Mode off/on, change of themes makes things CRAZY

Hello everyone,
I have been having this problem for a few weeks now, and it has gotten to the point where I think something is SERIOUSLY wrong with my phone.
I have a 512gb UNLOCKED N960U1. Never rooted. I'm a little OCD with my app arrangement so i have every app on my phone in folders so i dont have to get a finger hernia scrolling through everything.
My problem is that I use low-power mode often. I also like to turn in on while driving, and charge my phone in the car that way. Lately when coming OUT of low-power mode, I've found that my apps have DUPLICATED. Every. Single. One. Doesn't matter if the phone is charging, or not. They duplicate, BOTH APPS OPEN, and I have to uninstall the second ones with no data loss to the original(?) one.
I also like to change my themes weekly. Thats what originally started the problems. Recently, after switching a theme out again, I found that the phone had emptied out my folders into a giant CF in my app drawer. Thinking "at least its not old school Samsung LAG", I just put them BACK. No biggie.
NO GO. I did that THREE SEPARATE TIMES. I have 425+ apps on my phone. Sometimes SOME of the apps will be removed from the folders, sometimes ALL of the apps.
The breaking point for me was when I took it off of low-power mode as I was leaving the car, and the apps spread back out, and SOME WEREN'T EVEN SHOWING. Furious, I knew I was going to use my tapatalk app to get onto XDA to ask for help or guidance. Tapatalk Pro is on my phone, but WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP DRAWER. So i searched for it instead. It came up in the SEARCH, but not alphabetically where it SHOULD be. Now when you find an app by searching, if the app comes up, you can long press it and it will give you the option to "locate" where the app is store on your phone (folder, which screen, etc.) When that was done, the phone froze briefly, and then did nothing.
Im at my wit's end on this issue. The most horrible part is that I can't find ANYONE who is having this issue other than me. Phone has not been dropped, no cracks, nothing.
What the hell is wrong with my phone??
This is the most horrific problem I've ever read on XDA is all my time here. Sorry that I don't have a solution to your problem, but just reading through your post is terrifying.

Are you using 3rd party launcher? If you don't use low power mode does it still happen. What are using to change themes?

No third party launcher. I use the standard, built in theme options when I switch themes, and the themes are downloaded from the Samsung theme app/store/part.

Unfortunately thats exactly what I did. I started putting my apps in folders as everything was downloading. I also began to get rid of apps because I figured that definitely didn't help.
By the time the phone finished downloading all my backup'd apps, the two apps I deleted were BACK, and the apps came out of the folders I had just put in. Back to the same situation. :silly::crying:

Since what you're experiencing is most likely a software issue, you may want to factory reset and try not restoring any of your backed up apps, just manually install the basic ones and see how it behaves for a few hours.

I'm reviving this thread because the problem continued on the the Note 10.
...then the Note 20U...
Now I'm too scared to try it on my Z Fold 3.
This is a SOFTWARE issue...not a specific phone or app issue.
