Problem with WhatsApp pop up - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm quite new to Android, having S5 running version 4.4.2 (KitKat) I'm struggling with the WhatsApp app notification. I set it to show pop up , it does work when screen is off it shows the message box with "Close" and "View" buttons.
The problem is when I press the "View" button, it takes me to the Lock Screen instead of WhatsApp (this is the case when the phone is locked, and I receive a message).
Is there a way to eliminate this behavior?

Hi,
Well, unless you disable lockscreen altogether you can't change this behavior.
Actually, it's more a security feature..

Yeah. As far as I know, it will always happen when your lockscreen is enable. There is no way that you can eliminate it.

Can we fix this bug once and for all?

Can we please fix the stupid bug that has plagued HTC Touch flo devices since the Diamond..
The fact that notifications dont display on screen. This could be email, sms, tasks or reminders. You have to tap on the icon on the top of the screen, tap two more times just to display the notice. Before the notice would just appear on screen.
I know in sounds/notifications you can set the option 'display on screen' - this works until you soft reset your device, then it reverts back to 'dont display on screen'. What on earth is causing this? something in the registry?

Strange, I don't have this bug using the stock ROM.
The notification bubble is always here. However, when I use WKtask, it can be hidden behind it although no task is running. I can make the bubble visible if I tick the preference/general1/Hide the task-list when there are no tasks option.

G-Alarm looks very promising. Linking to it from the today screen sounds like a good feature.

This is caused by TouchFlo.
You can disable this behaviour:
Start -> Settings -> System -> TouchFlo -> disable the third option (I'm on a German ROM so I don't know the exact name, but it should say sth about status).

There you go. This is why I had never experienced the bug because the first thing I do after hard reset is to didable that feature. Never wanted the extra screen.
So, anyone still saying that he did'nt believe me when I said I never had that problem?
Oh thank you all!! This problem was bugging me a lot, now it's working great! I can see the notifications directly on my screen, as I expected! It was annoying to make 3 clicks to get the messages.

You dont even have to. I use Duttys rom and there is still that annoying bug! Sometimes the icon looks like the message.. sometimes like a baloon tip. Cant figure it out.
The balloon is when you have more than one notification I believe, it uses the balloon as it cannot fit both icons on the top bar, ie email recieved, missed call etc.
darthbane2k, search the forum for SSMaPa and you'll have it working in no time

[Q] Remove Emergency Call / Add Swipe

2 questions:
1:
Is there a mod to remove the Emergency Call button from the lockscreen?
2:
Is there a mod to enable swipe before unlocking - ie: The lockscreen looks the same as if it had no security until it is swiped which then shows the pattern unlock screen?
This would usually enable lockscreen notifications / music player controls etc to be shown without having to unlock. The S3 had these mods..
If theres a way to do it manually, I could also give that a go I guess...

I have no button on my lockscreen for Emergency Call, regardless of whether it's active or not...? If you mean it's set as one of the shortcuts, you can change those to whatever you like.

This is what I mean. If you don't have this coming up i'd find that odd. It doesn't come up if you have lockscreen security disabled.
And following on from this - after pressing the power button, id like to have to swipe before this screen pops up

OK, that would be why then. I just have swipe to unlock.

Lollipop Notifications - Snooze - Long Press (How to restore)

Hello all
I seem to have a spot of bother, I had two notifications on my device.
I Long Pressed the notification until the screen changes, Giving you a option to Snooze or press the little "i" button.
When you press Snooze, how the hell do you get your notification back?
I use Rotation to force all into Landscape.
I done the Snooze on the apps notification, and i cannot get it to re-appear, I use the notification as a quick toggle to change from Force to Auto
I also done it on ShareKM
and i cannot get neither of them Back.
Even when i go to:
Settings / Sound & Notification / App Notifications
WHen i configure to allow Heads up etc, Still nothing.
Not even after a reboot.
Its obviously not a Snooze button, its more of a Here hide this notification FOREVER!!!
Anyway has anyone got a little more experience with how this works?
I dont want to have to re-flash for the sake of 2 notifications lol

Nope never found a fix. I eventually just re flashed the ROM because I disabled SMS notifications and didn't have a choice. Now I'm being very careful around that button.

unsnoozing notifications
I suppose this is too late, but perhaps it can help someone else. I found the option to remove the notification snooze (or filter) under privacy.
Go to settings, privacy, and then filter notifications. You'll need to delete the app in the list. I had to reboot for my changes to take effect.

what the heck is screen overlay detected on axiom 7

It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

I'm going to guess you have MiPop enabled? is so turn it off and your screen overlay issue might go away.

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

How to tuneup notifications ?

Hi guys,
I really don't understand how work permanent notifications on this device.
I'm aware we can manage them for each app from notification panel, and from "Notification Menu".
- I can't prevent a specific app to put notifications on lockscreen without disabling "All Notifications" on lockscreen from "Notification Menu",
- I can't prevent a specific app to appear in status bar :cyclops:
I've got a OP5 and I can tuneup apps like I want without problem, but not with this device.
Do you have any piece of advice or special app to use to do what I want ?
Bye.
[Edit] : Well, it seems that to be able to hide a specific app from lockscreen, I have to put a PIN/schema or some sort of security to have the option to hide on lockscreen
When you get notification, long press on it and there would be options. You can select more options, and there's an option for lockscreen.

Thanks, lockscreen option appears after I put a PIN code.
Last thing I have to find is how to prevent apps to put notification in statusbar.
The same way, long press notification and block all.

No, I don't want to block all.
I want some apps to put notification in notification panel only, but not in statusbar.
I have "services" like Tasker, Viper4Android, Mi-Fit who put permanent notification in order to stay alive (I suppose), they don't bother me in notification panel, but I don't want to see them in status bar.

Enable system ui tuner, enable power notifications in there and then you can set level of each app separately with long tap on notification. Exactly what you are looking for.

Many thanks, System UI Tuner was activated but I've not seen Notification option.
Last think I've to find is how to assign ''Menu Key'' to one of the hardware keys without having to install a third-party app (actually I have ButtonMapper) .
In Titaniumbackup I can't access ''Menu'' without ButtonMapper.

Yeah, it's hidden a little bit
For the button remap - it might be possible to remap the HW buttons by system files modification, though probably not worth the effort. With Button Mapper you have effectively several additional fully customizable "buttons" (double tap + long tap)..
