Lumia Icon :: Extend Toast Notification Popup Display Time And Access List Of Old Notifications
Mar 10, 2015
I love the Toast notifications on my Icon, which has Windows 8.1 through Verizon. The only problem is that they only display for a few seconds and they usually vanish before I can get to the phone to see what the notification was, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to pull up a list of old notifications. So I'm wondering if there's any way to make these notifications display longer. Right now, they seem to be about five seconds and they're gone. I'd like to extend that to at least ten seconds. And is there any way to pull up a list of old notifications so I can see what I might have missed when I was away from my phone?
I noticed that text messages send toast notifications when there is a new message on the top or the screen. It's there a similar function for email? I believe email has all the same options as text in the notifications settings.
Can this be done? Getting fed up of getting a notification for whatsapp for example that sits over my browser search bar for too long, have to stop what I'm doing to open the app to clear the toast bar..
I got my 950 xl yesterday and have been having fun setting it up. Fairly new to Windows phone, so a few settings I'm still looking for. Have spent a few weeks reading this forum in prep, so am fairly up to speed with most things/issues to expect - for example my update to .29 got stuck yesterday, with low on space messages popping up, but i found a thread on here which said to plug my phone in and leave it and it eventually installed fine :)
My Glance was set to 15mins, but was always on, so now i set it to 30 seconds and it seems to like this setting. I'm missing Quiet Hrs setting, but I understand this will prob come back in a later update. Hoping the double tap to wake will come back at some point (I experimented with a 640 over the last two weeks and loved that feature). I would also like to disable vibrate on the navigation buttons, but I dont this is possible yet in Windows 10.
My question at the moment is - is there a way to disable toast notifications from apps when my phone screen is off, as at the moment the toast notification activates both the screen and Hello, which I don't think is particularly energy efficient. I still would like a toast notification when the screen is on. Is this possible?
I performed a hard reset on my 1520 due to the camera freezing up on me after I pressed the shutter button. However, a new issue has arrived. Once I set up my phone again, using my most recent backup, I signed into all of my apps as usual, and then I found myself in Settings setting up my notifications sounds, banners, etc. But, the list was very short. The only apps in the list were the initial apps on the phone: messaging, phone, the email accounts, etc. Before I performed my hard reset, the notifications list included 6tag, Kik, and every other app that had notification abilities. Now, they are gone.
im am trying to hide SMS notification on the Display of my Nokia Lumia 800, because if i leave my Phone somewhere one the Table, everybody can read my sms and the sender. That is making me really nervous and i have always to hide my phone in my pocket. I searched over internet and in discussion board, also on troubleshooting page, but still couldn't find any help. Im using more than 12 years only Nokia and until now, i haven't experience any trouble like this. But since windows phone, i think everything is more complicated with Nokia Phones.
I am using Nexus 5. i upgraded it to Lollipop but because of certain reasons i did not like it much so downgraded Lollipop to Kitkat 4.4.4. I have successfully done it. But the problem now i am facing is that "i dont get notifications for Messages, Facebook etc".
Well on a call the other night I tried to access my contact list, it keep putting me back to the call screen, (caller id, speaker phone, mute, etc.) but no contact list icon, so you have to hit home, then people, then name , and open the contact to retrieve the number. tedious to say the least. and it's bad enough, but half way though the process it kicks back to the call screen, now its frustrating. I had to call them back.
I salved the problem by put my contacts in a folder on my start screen. simple enough , but I still had to open the folder, and each contact to retrieve the number. Well I was watching the folder cycle though the names, it came to me, why not add the number with the name , John 123-123-123, (if you want the number above the name add it first), now the live tile will cycle though showing the name and phone number, open up the folder and you get all the names with number in front of you.
After having an iphone for 4 years i just moved to nexus 5 and boy was it a harsh learning curve. Aint easy.
For some reason when a whatsapp pop up comes up on the locked screen and i press view it doesn't open up the lock screen, i have to press view and then manually unlock the phone. This doesn't happen when i get an sms pop up. Why is this? i played with every setting possible.
Also, when i watch a youtube video and get a whatsapp or sms notification it stops the video. This didn't happen on iphone and was wondering if ther is a way to change it.
Just got my X6 16gb. Is there any way that i can extend the screen locking time or even stop it locking itself. Also, I'm using the 'You Tube' app that came with the phone and whenever i try to watch a video, it takes ages to buffer then plays about 3 seconds before buffering again. Is this normal?
I love my new LG G4, but I swear it's only ringing like 10 seconds before it goes to voice mail. I can't find an option to make it ring longer. I keep missing calls when I can't get it out of my purse fast enough or even when it's on the other side of the same room. My carrier is AT&T and I have the pay as you go (Go Phone) refill plan.
My Lumia 610 doesn't display notification (unread messages) for outlook when the screen is locked. However it does display the notification such as missed calls, text messages, face book messages, Gmails, Yahoo emails, Windows live emails. But nothing for Outlook.
I have a screenshot of what I am about to describe. But I do not see anywhere to post a pic. So, both my husband and I have the S6, got them last week. Whenever he gets an email come through there is a little popup that comes from behind his contacts icon on the main screen. This does not happen with my phone (I do not want it to and neither does he). I have compared settings in both phones and it looks to be the same. How to stop it?
if it is possible to extend the alert/ring time on the Bold 9780. At present only rings twice then shuts off leaving me having to ring back the caller.
I have rooted my device and want to stay on stock firmware for a while. I have deleted all knox system files I can see but I'm still getting the annoying popup and notification.
When I used recovery tool on my lumia icon the screen dosnt display black anymore its just dark red even after I updated to win 10 the same problem....
Making the move from AT&T to Verizon and ordered the Icon. Are you now able to talk and surf simultaneously now on Verizon? Its been several yrs since I've been on Verizon.
Since ive updated to 8.1.1 ive been getting this extremely annoying popup dialog of cellular data is turned off. It give me options to settings or close. It does this even with wifi on. It will constantly popup with every app i open, every time. even turning everything on it continues, what should i do?
Everytime i go applications the software update app opens up and says important software. i have started the update but nothing happens. this keeps happening everytime.
When I use my iPhone and safari to access the apple store an annoying pop up appears that tries to get me to download the apple store app. clicking the cross doesn't get rid of this and I can't navigate around the site properly. I don't want to download the app, my pop up blocker is switched on. how to surf around the site without this annoying pop up occurring.
I am guessing that this is properly a WP8 question, but having the Icon, and being new to WP8 (and therefore not knowing if all of these settings are by phone model or across the platform) I figured I'd start by posting it here. My question is, when I add my yahoo mail account through the basic email setup on the phone, will I receive notifications when mail arrives? I know that I could just send myself mail and see, but there are two reasons why this isn't a perfect way to get an answer. First, I am having issues getting other email pushed, and therefore don't always get notifications from the other accounts. Second, there is no push option for yahoo, but you can select it to check the server every so often- with 15 minutes being the shortest.
I don't want there to be an audible notification. My yahoo mail is more of a junk account than anything. There is no option under settings for it to turn notifications on or off, so I am wondering (and hoping) if it simply doesn't have an audible notification?
Have the videos save in the video file for when I'm hooked up to the computer. Right now it saves everything in the Camera Roll file. Not cool. Especially when I have like 500 pictures/videos from a recent trip on top of the 500 or so already on there. I'm full now, and trying to sort through this is maddening. Delete videos from my phone in multiples. How to do this? I can't select it in the "all" page where I can select multiple pictures, I want to be able to do the same with videos.
Yesterday I updated my phone to CyanogenMod(CM)13.0 which went fine. However when I rebooted the phone a popup came up the entire time telling me that google play services stopped working. In an attempt to fix it, I accidently removed google play services, causing a bunch of trouble at the moment.
I went to the CM Wiki and first I downloaded the "nano" variant of the GAPPS, trying to fix everything in the end. I put the file on my phone and tried to install it via recovery. This message came up however.Insufficnt storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller GAPPS package or consider removing some apps using GAPPS-config ( bla bla) Error code 70. As far as I can see, it is able to mount /system and /data, but the partition does not seem to have enough space left, at least so it says.
After that I tried the same with the "pico" variant, which also gave the same result. Pretty strange for a package that small.So after taking a backup of important files I tried to wipe data/factory reset (was going to reinstall everything), to which I got an error "data wipe failed", which is correct since I can still boot in CM13 after that. So I'm a bit in trouble here. I cannot seem to wipe my phone entirely, nor am I able to reinstall GAPPS due to this error 70. Could this be a permissions problem somehow? Things I have done so far to check what the problem could be:
- I've checked the space left on the /system partition which is 501 MB. Should be enough I guess? - I've checked the /system partition for errors via adb shell while the phone was in recovery mode, which came out clean.
