Hi all,
recently bought an xz2 and can't stand how Whatsapp notifies group messages:
it shows the icon of user's profile instead of the group's, and user's name is bold;
the name of the group itself is found much smaller at the top of the notification.
I fear that's something related to newer versions of Android like Pie or even Oreo,
apologize if it's been this way all along, I've been using a stock z3c for years.
Googling or exploring system/whatsapp settings was unsuccessful for me,
I hoped you guys could give me some info about this.
I'll try posting a screenshot to clarify as soon as possible.
Thanks for the patience
Edit: baobab is group name and blacked stuff is user related

Text to speech bug
Hi all,
I've come across a weird bug that once i have run the "speak current time" actions under the labs section, my phone continues to speak the time for other various actions (eg opening/closing folders, setting the alarm etc).
So far there seems to be no way of stopping it, even killing the Google text to speech service does nothing.
Anyone else with this problem or any solutions?
Regards

Hi G,
received your e-mail and replied this via e-mail a couple of minutes ago ...
Hi Gene,
No, you are the first reporting this. There is no Retag background service which could cause this and NFC Retag doesn´t change a TexttoSpeech setting, therefore I would say it´s not related, but stranger things had happen.
First thing I thought, it´s probably related to the CAR Mode ... a lot of devices speak a lot of things (Sms received, folder opened etc. ) while in car mode..annoying and mostly unexpected ... the first time it happen to me, I was completely clueless what was causing this and how to disable.. So please check if the car mode is enabled.
Second thought was the Standard Android Accessibility feature, please check under Settings--> Accessibility that the TalkBack option is disabled (provides spoken feedback for blind users ).
If this doesn´t help, reboot your device and please check again...If the issue still occurs, could you please give us some more details (device, firmware version, etc.) and if possible a log file, so we could analyze this in detail?

Hi ascsa,
Thanks i got your email. Great to see such quick response from developers. I wasn't expecting it, hence the post here as well.
Just to clarify for any other readers, i'll repeat what i sent in my reply email to you.
Driving mode and talkback are disabled on my device.
I found a temporary fix by clearing the data from Application Management->All->Google text to speech service, but it then randomly starts again at a later time. I think the fault may lay more with Android than any app as there are a couple of other applications out there having the same issue. Something about Android calling the wrong service (text to speech) when various apps are started.
For your and others information, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T Android 4.1.2 Stock Vodafone AU ROM, rooted. Baseband I9300TDUELL2.
Cheers

No Problem ... ... but let´s move to the official support thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477138&page=100) ...because this is an old thread ...NFC Retag PRO is currently NOT on sale ... and we shouldn´t confuse the users ...
Just to clarify for any other readers, my e-mail answer to your last post :
The Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international model) is one of our main testing devices. Not sure if, there is a problem with the Vodafone Rom or the Australian T model, but it´s working fine here on 4.1.2.
Had a short look at our code and the official api and everything seems fine ... but without a log file or better a device on which we could reproduce the error it´s nearly impossible to be sure ...However, you mentioned it happens with other apps, too , so I would bet on some Vodafone "enhancements" ...
Btw. have you tried the Samsung TTS engine (settings--> language& input -->text-to-speech output--> preferred engine) instead of the Google engine?
I notice there are several versions of tasker. Which do I need?

Hello, this is my first post here, so if I miss something please let me now.
I bought Huawei P10 recently, and there is a notifications problem I identified almost instatly, but so far found no solution.
Although setting banner notifications on for all the aplications, I receive them from a handful of apps only, and in case of the others there is only the app icon in the dock.
I identified that for aplications that have automatically set nofication importance to at least high, this is level 4 of 5, (like BBC News, for instance) the banners do appear. However, every change of the importance level crashes the system. Please refer to the pic:
https://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2017/03/Screenshot_20170302-193013.png
and the text it comes from:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-system-ui-tuner-to-modify-the-status-bar-in-emui-4/
So, given all this, is there any possiblity to solve the crash problem? I really do miss the banner notifications.
While you're likely loving your new phone, there are a few concerns with any new device. One possible issue is the new persistent Android System notifications on the Galaxy S9.
If you're coming from an older Android phone, you probably noticed the new Android System notifications in the notification shade on your new Galaxy S9. This is a new feature with Android Oreo, helping make users aware of any background apps consuming battery or taking up system resources. Unfortunately, if these notifications pile up, they can annoy some users. If you're already aware that certain apps are displaying on top of others, you can turn off this notification easily.
Disabling the 'Displaying Over Other Apps' Notification
After swiping down the notification shade, swipe right on the the "Displaying Over Other Apps" Notification. This will reveal a Settings cog which you can tap to access the notification settings for Android System.
Tapping on the cog brings you to the detailed notification settings. From here, you will scroll down and find the setting for your particular app that is displayed over others in the list of system notifications. In this example, the app in question is NavBar Apps. Turn this notification off and you're all set!
It is worth noting that there are a number of Android System notifications that cannot be disabled, such as Wi-Fi status, Account Status and missing SIM card alerts. These offer critical user information that you should be aware of. Still, you can tap on the corresponding notification type and switch it to low priority so there are no interruptions with your work flow.
With this ugly Android System notification gone, your notification shade should look much less cluttered.

So I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Snapdragon N950U). Over the previous 24 hours, first, my daughter and then I received a group text from an unknown person. It was noone from our contact lists and noone we know. I use chomp sms as my default messaging app. I am extremely annoyed and wish for all of these textx to stop. I cant ask the group message originator to remove me from the list because I dont know who sent it. Also of the 10 to 15 numbers on the list that he/she also sent it to, I do not know anyone on the list.
I need some advice/help. With this high end phone of mine and all of its power, you would think there would be some way to just simply remove myself from the list. In my research on this topic, the only app I found that might have a chance of stopping this is called GroupXit but I dont even know if it would really work or is still valid. The only info I can find concerning the app is that its from 2014. (kinda old)
Since I have root access, isnt there something that I can do to stop it? Some type of app for rooted phones or something?

Well its not as simple as one might think.
Heres the problem.
The current infrastructure allows this and call spoofing to happen because out going calls and texts are not verified and filtered properly and said calls and text are forwarded to the given address. Like a letter. It would be like trying to stop someone from writing you a letter. There isnt a mechanism the verifies he registerd number of the phone to the ID being given over the air to the recipient. Said mechanism would make call spoofing much much harder and could be modified to remove ones-self from a group chat.
You do have a few options.
1. An app that blocks texts
2. Have your carrier block them
3. Look at who their carrier is and request a block (not sure if possible but worth a shot).
4. Ask them. I know you dont want to contact them but aslong as you dont give any information, click a link, or become hostile toward them, you should be fine. To be safe. Somewhere in your messaging setting, there should be an option to auto download attachment. Id turn that off before requesting your removal.
****HEADS UP****
some carriers do charge monthly to block someone.
Id look that info up or ask before jumping straight to that option.
Thank you Shadow Assassin. I noticed another app called Textra. It says it will specifically block the group texts of your choice. May be worth a shot.
I'm kind of hesitant to contact the originator of this group text, 1. Because I can't tell which number it comes from. (When I look at the contact details it gives me a list of 10 - 15 numbers) and 2. Because of the content of the text. Both were the same on my phone and my daughter's phone. It said : "Hey mister, I'm just gonna put this out there, I'm chubby, lonely and horny." Then it got more detailed.

Wow, ok. Thats concerning knowing the little chance of texting both yall randomly. So it doesnt seem so random (could be wrong). You can see the actually sender by long pressing on the message and click View Message Details. You can block numbers on the galaxy 8 series. Messages/Settings/Block Messages
Now those messages wont show up in the main messages but they are saved in the blocked folder in the same place I directed you to block them.
****Do Note****
Due to the way sms/mms works, your phone will still receive the messages no matter what apl you use. They just block them from visibility. Only a carrier block stops them from reaching your devices
I can say, if it were me. I would atleast file a police report if it came from the same area code especially sonce both you and your daughter got it aswell. But the chances of randomly texting both of yall are slim.
Ok thank you for your advice. There has been no further activity from that group text and no others have been sent. I guess I'm just going to wait for now but if anything else happens I may be forced to take action.
Hi I just started using my Zenfone 8 as daily driver and found out that notifications don't work properly in more senses:
- Often I get notification delayed with respect to my other devices
- When I get a notification of a message/email and read it from another device, the notification on the zenfone 8 stays there
- with telegram, in the previous case, the notification does not go away even if i open the telegram app!!!!
All this leading to a nice combo of previous issue: I get a telegram message on PC, answer it from PC, THEN also get the same notification on zenfone and it does not go away.
I found some complaints on the Zentalk forum, but with no answer, like this one
Broken notification system
As already reported: Kleshar Hello staff, This is my third or fourth bug report for the zenfone 8. This is a minor bug report but still pretty annoying in some cases. I wanted to tell you that the notification system on some apps gets stuck if you're using the same account on different...
zentalk.asus.com
Does anybody know what's the problem? I looked into system settings, notifications and permissions but I can't get it to work properly.
Do you have this same issue? Do you have suggestions?
Any android 12 beta tester know if it will be solved at least in the android 12 update?
Thanks

It was just a battery optimization flag in battery settings:
