When I open EasyNoise a notification is present, but I can't see any controls. This means I can't start or stop the noise, or stop the application.

I'm using Android 11.

Stranglely the controls are visible and clickable when there is another notification.

@aSemy Thanks for letting me know. I've seen this bug myself occasionally when working in Android Studio, but it usually resolves itself on its own after a while, so I assumed it was due to the slow performance of the virtual device.

  1. How consistently does this occur for you? Are the controls always missing when there are no other notifications?
  2. Do the controls always appear when there is another notification?
  3. Is there anything else that seems to change this behaviour, such as restarting the device or force-closing the app and re-opening it?
  4. Have you ever noticed the controls spontaneously appearing after some time has passed?

Exactly the same issue on Android 12.

  1. Yes
  2. Yes
  3. No
  4. No

Excellent app, BTW, thank you for making and sharing it! Minimal, simple, works very well, and best of all FOSS with no privacy concerns.

I don't use this app a whole lot, so my answers might not be definitive.

  1. How consistently does this occur for you?

Every time

Are the controls always missing when there are no other notifications?

No (to the best of my recollection)

  1. Do the controls always appear when there is another notification?

Yes

  1. Is there anything else that seems to change this behaviour, such as restarting the device or force-closing the app and re-opening it?
  1. Long press on the Easy Noise notification
  2. Click the cog icon
  3. Under 'Other', tap on the text 'Easy Noise Notification' name (not the on/off toggle - the name)
  4. Tap 'Minimise', to toggle it off/on a couple of times.
  5. Tap 'Minimise' until it is toggled off
  6. Check the notifications - the Easy Noise notification controls are now visible
  7. Tap 'Minimise' once to toggle it on
  8. Check the notifications - the Easy Noise notification controls are now not visible

Also

  • Under developer options, I have disabled device animations. Window animation scale, transition animation scale, animator duration scale - all are 'off'
  • Under 'display' settings, I have set 'Display size' to: Custom (384)
  1. Have you ever noticed the controls spontaneously appearing after some time has passed?

I don't think so

Updated my comment above.

Tried @aSemy's minimise above. It shows the controls, but only momentarily. Locking and unlocking returns to the no button notification.
