I will start from the beginning… I am not very tech savvy. When I turn on my phone, and I get an email or text message, it will show up as a quick summary. ( IE Text Tom Z are you going…. Or Wyze Vehicle detected drive….) Then I do a recognition on my phone to unlock it.
Then I can go into the text messages, or Wyze app and look for events. (Ok normal)
This just started on my phone… I turn on my phone and it shows some briefs like Wyze camera drive offline power…… Then Wyze camera drive back online….
I can understand what it is saying, but since it is a brief, when I turn phone on I cannot find the rest of the message. It is not a text. In the app under that camera I don’t show a message with the offline notification. If I look at the camera it lists the events. But I can’t seem to find where the offline notification went.
I have app notifications… But it is all switches to turn on and off… No history. When I look at app notifications it shows numbers but not what the messages are.
I think what you’re noticing is development on this Wishlist item:
As far as I’m aware, they’ve been tinkering with device offline/online notifications for a while (I’ve seen them on a few Cams), and if you look to enable that feature (navigate in the app to Account ➜ Notifications ➜ Push Notifications) you can see a toggle for Device Connectivity Notifications (Pilot), so I think that’s still a work in progress. I don’t know if there is or will be any sort of user-accessible log or if those “disconnect/connect” occurrences will be treated like “events” at any point, so something like what @StevenA suggests may be an answer, depending upon which version of Android you’re using. (I’m seeing it on one phone with a more current stock Android version but not on another that runs an older version of Android.) I believe there are also third-party apps in Google Play Store that can log push notifications if you have a need to track that sort of thing, manage history, etc., but I don’t have any hands-on experience with those particular features.
I plugged in a spare Cam OG for a while today and then unplugged it after a while to create an “offline” condition but didn’t see a notification, so I haven’t been able to see if that’s showing up in Android’s “Notification history” on the phone where I enabled that. I would expect it to, but, again, this is still listed as a “(Pilot)” program.
Also, thanks, @StevenA! I didn’t realize that was a feature built into at least some Android versions, so I enabled that on one phone today to try it.
Yeah, and different Android variants handle things differently, too. I tend to prefer stock or near-stock Android, but I know a lot of people swear by their Samsung phones (One UI or whatever they call it), and other people have preferences for the way their devices’ manufacturers tweak Android for their own hardware or use cases. Essentially, I think that means that the way notifications are handled/preserved/dismissed can vary quite a bit across Android phones, so there may be no one-size-fits-all answer for how you can find older notifications and figure out when a given Wyze Cam may have lost/regained its Internet connection.
Not really worried about the older ones. I was curious what the new ones were. No way to read them. I just got a brief on the display and no way to open/or find them after the phone is turned on.
Might be like you guys said, some experimental thing.
Typically I’d just drag down from the top of my phone screen to open the notification drawer and see any notifications that I haven’t already swiped away to dismiss. If you’re not seeing them there after you unlock your phone, then I’m not sure where they’re going, but that might be a peculiarity of whatever Android version you’re using.
Hey you the man!!! I tried that after I unlocked the phone and there they are. I guess I never looked at that bar for notifications. BTW you would think they were in the app??
It would be cool if they were logged there (or if that was an option), like what’s requested in the Wishlist topic I linked above, but most apps I use don’t seem to make notifications available within the apps themselves. That’s where a feature like what @StevenA suggested or a third-party notification manager would be expected to do.
Event notifications are different, because the app is letting you know that it’s recorded an event and placed that on the timeline where you can review it later, but I could see some utility in having device online/offline occurrences in a similar (or the same) timeline.
I’m a Samsung user, in any Android, settings, notifications, notifications history or search in settings for it as was previously mentioned,
That usually provides a 24 hour perhaps history.
With Samsungs Goodlock and the Notistar app inside that I can expand that history to 30 days, and when I wake the phone theres a an up arrow before it gets to the apps home screen that I can swipe up to see all that history or in Notistar.
I’d look again in settings, search for notifications history, “most” Androids have it.
In Android settings, usual a gear, mine is top right when I pull down the quick menu, tap notifications, perhaps tap advanced settings, may need to scroll down, enable notifications history.
Once enabled, you can tap on “Notification history” to view a list of recently cleared and dismissed notifications. May ne limited to 24 hours, not sure Maybe, lol, (I don’t know squat about a Kyocera.)
You should be able to find this by swiping down from the top of your screen to open the notification drawer and possibly swipe down a second time to reveal the for Settings. Once you have Settings open, you may be able to search for version or swipe up from the bottom (to scroll down) and tap into something like System or About phone to find that information. If Kyocera does something funky with their Android implementation, then the process might be a little different, but that’s typically how I’d do it on stock Android.
That’s the per-app notification settings area where you’d control if (and how) you want to receive notifications just for that one app. The general setting for history (if your phone has it; my old phone with Android 10 does not) should be within Android’s Settings ➜ Notifications ➜ Notification history. If it isn’t there or you can’t find it on your phone by opening Settings and searching notification history, then you might need a third-party notification manager app if you want this feature.
I just enabled it recently on my newer phone out of curiosity. I haven’t really had a pressing need to review a history of notifications, but there have been times when I’ve been curious about it, so it seems like one of those “nice to have” things.
