2016-07-27 10:48:40 Michael Zanetti description It happens that I have the phone or tablet just there on the desk for a day without actually using it. Sometimes, during that time, a snap decision is triggered, for example the WiFi password dialog. This snap decision stays there forever, without timeout and blocks other notifications. There are 2 issues with that: 1) Because other notifications are blocked, I'd missing incoming SMS or other notifications until I deal with the WiFi password prompt. 2) If this situation is stuck for a day, after removing the snap decision, all the built up queue is delivered one by one. This leads to multiple minutes of the device annoying the user with (mostly old and outdated) notifications. See the attached video. Note that I've been swiping notifications away for a while already before deciding to record the video. There were maaaany more in the queue.
