Alerts : how to get them displayed automatically ?

Just been thinking - is it possible to get the alerts/reminders/notifications that appear in the bottom bar when you hit the relevant icon in the upper bar, automatically ?
Its another bit of slightly-round-the-houses desing that means you have to hit the the icon to see what's going on. be very handy if this was possible via registry change.
any thoughts ?

Hear hear, tapping those notification icons at the top defeats the whole point of having a notification.

I really like that too. Don't like the actual system. I prefer the style of the old devices.
When an alarm is ringing, I grab the phone and before I can press the 'dismiss' or 'snooze' the dialog hides and I need to press 3 or more times to get it back.Its annoying

re
You can disable Touch3D

Search the forums for largetitlebar - then install it and disable large title bar - you will go back to the old setting

meaning u will lose previously installed colored title bars, etc?
But i'm willing to try it cause it is indeed annoying to click 3 times and than shutting it down.
but I cant seem to find the file do you perhaps have a link??

isn't that a standard option? goto settings\personal\sounds and change the settings for reminders to show notifications

Hear hear, when holding the phone on the hand, for me that have a small hand, it's difficult to reach with the thumb finger the top bar!! I have to slide a bit the phone on my hand to reach the top bar with only one hand.
That's probably the main reason to get that notifications display on the bottom bar, to do every steps easily only with one hand

the key being: "Display message on screen"

Does not work for 'New Text Message'
Hi, newbie here.
I am trying to get the Touch HD to come out of stand-by when a new text message arrives.
In my case, because I am deaf, I cannot hear any notifications. So i am reliant on the display lighting up (and vibration). I never had this problem with any of my previous devices.
However I do a lot of driving, and I have the phone on the windscreen, which makes the vibrate function ineffective. So, if anyone can assist in making text messages lighting up, I'd be really grateful.
Current settings as follows:
Play sound - yes (waitingtone - purely because it's the loudest tone I can hear)
Display message on screen - yes
Flash light for - 5 minutes (where does this happen?)
Vibrate - yes (better than my hearing anyway!)
Thanks in advance
Brett

There is a small flash light at the power button. I've set it up to flash forever in case of a missed call or a new sms. So, I don't have to turn on the screen to get this information.

Isn't there a setting in Tweak HD to wake up the device when a text arrives?

Notification drawer will not drag down

BTW, this is on stock 4.2.2 on a D801 with no root.
I had been having a problem where my notification drawer would not pull down. At first, it wouldn't pull down at all. Then it would only pull down when I pulled from the very far left side of the notification bar. Then it would work if I was on the left half of the notification bar. Then only the left 25%. I tried rebooting several times, no luck. I switched to the marshmallow theme and all of a sudden it started working. I switched back to the standard theme, and it went back to the broken behavior.
I searched and searched and didn't find anyone else with these exact symptoms. I thought I'd have to factory reset to get this working again.
Fortunately, I was able to resolve the problem. Open system settings/general/apps, select the all apps tab, and scroll down to Home. Select it, and press the clear cache button. Now my notification bar can be pulled down from anywhere across the top of the screen.
I'm posting here in case anyone else ever runs into this problem in the future. I'm not sure what caused it. The touchscreen on that part of the screen was definitely working, because if I pulled down the drawer from the left side, then dragged my thumb down, right, and up, the screen was definitely responding to my finger moving around the very top of the screen on the right side. Something was causing the display not to pull down the notification drawer when I started from the right side.

I just started having this problem on my LG G2 (Resurrection Remix LPv.5.4.6). At first I could drag down just by pulling from the top of the screen. Then, over time, it started to only work in the upper left corner. Now I can't pull the quick-settings area down in Portrait mode. It does work in Landscape view. It also works on the lock screen in Portrait mode: just drag down from the top-middle of the screen and the quick-setting area comes down.
I enabled the show touch feature in developers options and took these pictures showing that (A) the status/notification area is: (A) not receiving input in Portrait mode during normal use; and (B) is receiving input in Portrait mode on the lockscreen.

The suggestion in the first post does not work as there is no "Home" in Settings>General>Apps>All Apps:

UPDATE: I did a factory reset and reinstalled my ROM. The problem persists. It is definitely NOT the hardware sensors, because that section of the screen DOES WORK on the lock screen.
My best guess right now is that it is something in the stock Gapps (I used micro). I had thought that it might be the Nova Launcher, but I tried other launchers and the problem remained.
Also, this issue seems to creep up around the internet, independent of the phone (see here, here, here, and here).
I am hoping a developer on these pages sees this and can deduce from the symptoms what is causing the status bar (i.e., that top 1/4 inch of the screen) to not receive any input. It seems like something (wallpaper?; launcher?; status bar modification?) is causing the input to not compute.
Please . . . help.....

This problem just hit me too. XPeria T, CM12, also used "show touch" option and it stops respondingon identical part as yours.
I've read somewhere the problem was fixed by installing brand new digitizer, even though I have no intention of replacing it as the phone itself is ****ty...
This is my third or fourth disappointment in android devices and also my last. I'm moving back to button phones as I'm not expecting iPhones to be even near androids.
It was fun using CM12 while it lasted though...
Also, let me bring your attention to one things please:
You said your drawer can be pulled while in the lock screen, but while in the lock screen, my notification drawer can actually be pulled from anywhere on the screen, all I have to do is double swipe down. So I think your digitizer is damaged aswell, but the lock screen function probably fooled you.

I don't have enough the home app on the rom I'm running so that fix won't work. Had anyone found a fix for this?

Tryimg to disable fullscreen apps

While I'm glad that Samsung has decided by themselves that my games need to run in fullscreen, I have text and buttons scrolling off the screen I can barely get to, or can't read at all because of this. How do I disable this and get my games back? When I go into the display settings, the apps are greyed out and do not give me an option to shut this off.

Hey there,
Another way to disable fullscreen is to press the all apps button in the nav bar and then that small black button you can see in the screenshot. That disable fullscreen for me. But keep in mind that there are apps that automatically change to fullscreen because they are optimized for that.
Hppe that helped you out.
Which games do you mean especially?
Then i could try it myself

Sorry, I tried to attach a screenshot last night and I don't know why it didn't work. I shall try again here, but when I choose the All Apps sort, I have no black button anywhere except the bottom left of the screen which hides the navigation bar from the settings screen, but does nothing for my games. Also, yes, as you mentioned, this is one of those games that Samsung wants to say is "optimized" and disables the option for me to turn it off. Been playing this game for about a year(?) and this did not happen until about a week ago. WWE Champions is the name. You can see the titles in each section being cropped off and you kind of make out a button to the right of "Expedition", or "Xpedition" on my screen that is almost completely hidden.

Ok i have the same pronlem with the game.
I forgot to attach the screenshot in my first response.
I'll attach it now that you know what i actually meant.
You could try to contact the support and tell them the game is not correvtly sized.
If you are rooted you can try to edit your screen resolution so that the game could(don't know if that would even works)
Sorry i couldn't help more

I appreciate the help, but, yeah, I have had complaints about Samsung's Game Tools ever since I've owned this phone and this will likely be my last Samsung phone if I can help it. Was so much happier with my old Nexus 6P stock Android.

Hey, I have the exact same problem.
I've updated to Android 9 with my S9+ Yesterday and then I found out that the WWE SuperCard game is stretched because of this problem. The system thinks it's optimized for the screen but it isn't.
Is there any solution for this problem?

Android 9 sucks! Trash ! Rubbish !
Prefer 8.1 Oreo

I think it primarily turned out to be a developer issue. Their code was causing it to look bad until they patched it. I gave up on the game eventually, but I also ditched my S8+. Went with the Pixel 3 XL and couldn't be happier.

So, did it get solved??
I have the same problem with WOT Blitz. I cannot play the game anymore. Since updating to Android 9, the system says the game is optimised for full screen, which it is not, so I cannot see the entire screen and buttons moved to the side. Did anyone find a solution in the end?

Like I just mentioned before, it's very likely a developer issue versus the phone. They will likely have to release a patch, but I just got tired of dealing with it. Have had zero problems with the Pixel 3 XL and never going back to Samsung.

Yes!!! Away with spamsung from the earth!!!
Spammy should be banne, ssued and shut down by now!!!

In your case it should be under "Your Feed".
Feed is renamed to Discover by Google recently.
I thought that you did get that update.

Disabling and reenabling google app helps it, works it's show weather until next time weather needs to be refreshed then disappears and appears at wil. Cant find the catch, and if someone knows on which time interval google refreshes weather widget. tnx everyone

The workaround or "catch" , as you say, for me at least is to turn WiFi on.
When I'm on mobile data weather just don't refresh itself.
Tried everything else, but this is what works always.

Well it did for me, but still they say it might not work for every device depending on settings and use; as some use background processes limit and it makes system process a little bit slower to launch.

na cause when you back out it goes back to default and show nothing optimized again. Makes you pickes apps again. Even after reboot. I bet if you check it will correct itsself. Sorry this does not work

I am checking my claims(on my own phone lol)

Noice I did feel it being faster

got one ui 2.1 update in Pakistan...fingerprint feels hella fast than before....firmware is off course availabile on sam mobile...try it out...definitely u ll feel difference in fingerprint

What i did:
i recorded one finger a bit over 50%, then i use the same finger of the other hand to fill it up to 100%.
This procedure i repeated twice for another two fingers.
It doesn´t make it that faster, but it´s much more comfortable, because i can use 6 instead of 3 fingers.

The problem is that 8 out of 10 times it says "no match".

It only needs to match ONCE. Why would anyone keep trying once it matched?

Are you using glass screen protector?

it works and in the one ui 2.5 it is already preset not optimized, so samsung understood why the unlocking of the device was slow and they solved this problem.
anyway thanks for the guide
