5.0 Lollipop Some Notifications dont go away!

[Patrick Guerrisi]

Hey

Since upgrading my z3 to 5.0 some notifications will not go away. On kitkat I would dismiss it and it would not bother me anymore

For example

I got a TV show on my phone, i know it takes up 75% of space and I will delete when I finish watching. The stupid phone needs to tell me every second
I dismiss it and it just comes back
I had to disable notifications completely in the memory app... Which I wont get any other memory notifications untill I re-enable it.. Which is dumb

Also now, I get Data cap is used, I know this and i wont go away

Whats up with these annoying intrusive notifications. Does android think we are dumber now?

Welcome to Android Central! Is the TV show on Google Play Movies & TV? Can you show us what that notification looks like? http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html

This one one of them
There is no way to dimiss this unless you go to the process of the app and disable all notifications

Which is really really stupid, this will disable everything about data

I put a cap on my data so I dont go over. And it needs to tell me every time I look at the phone. Like I forgot .. 5.0 sucks

I can understand why they might make that notification non-dismissable. It's telling you that you can't use mobile data, so they probably figured it's something that has to be a persistent alert, in case the user forgets. But I can also see how that can be annoying.

The data overage notification I haven't gotten on my Z3 but on my M8 it wouldn't go away unless I removed the data limit.

Notifications in android 5 are a bit annoying indeed , you should disable it for that particular app. Normal swiping off is ok for me, but i dont have notifications like coming all the time

I came across a solution from a Reddit user on how to turn off the "Internal Storage is 75% Full" (and 90%) notifications without rooting on Lollipop. I can confirm this worked on my Z1 running 5.0.2, but it should apply to any other Xperia as well.
First you need to have ADB installed and up to date SDK on your computer, then on the phone turn on USB debugging from the Developer Options and plug it in. From a command prompt (you'll probably have to be in the folder where adb.exe is, most likely something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe) run this command:

adb shell pm hide com.sonymobile.storagechecker

And voila! I did this while the notification was still displaying, and it instantly went away and hasn't come back! This switch should hold unless you do a factory reset. I used a similar command to disable the "What's New" launcher a few versions back, and it even held throughout subsequent updates.
