Gmail "do not disturb" ? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Evo configured with the gmail app for push email with notifications (ring/vibrate). Overnight I leave my phone on with ring/vibrate enabled in case I have phone call emergency or something, however I don't really want it to sound/vibrate when I get an email at 3am. Is there a way to set the gmail notification for "do not disturb" between certain hours, but leave other call/text notifications on?

Gmail Notification Using Ringtone When Set to Silent

Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?
Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know

email app time-based alert settings?

i remember a couple of times going into the stock email app (linked to outlook exchange server) and setting different notifications based on the time of day
e.g., at night time, do not use sound & vibration ; only drop down bar notification
this way, i do not get bothered by less-essential things like work email outside of waking hours. without having to set the phone to silent or otherwise change notification settings manually every night
now i cannot find the setting???? GSM phone with stock 4.0.2 build

[Q] My moto 360 no longer vibrates when getting a message (or notification)

Hi
My watch no longer vibrates when I get a notification or message. It's there if I look manually, but I don't get notified by it. It still vibrates when getting a call or a alarm, so the vibrate function is still functional.
Anyone have any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance
Yup, noticed this too after updating to 5.1.1
This is happening to me too. I hope there is a resolution soon. Missed a meeting.
By design, the watch only vibrates on events that your phone would vibrate for. is it possible you hvae a setting on your phone that is set not to vibrate on messages for some reason?
Are these meetings in Google Calendar? For some reason Google turned of notification by default recently in Google Calendar.
- Go to calendar.google.com
- Go to Settings, Calendar tab
- 'Edit notifications' for your calendar name
- Add a Popup notification
Not sure why they turned this off by default. Pissed off many.

Notification problems for Emergency and DND

I have 2 problems that might be related. I am unsure.
1. I am not getting emergency notifications. I see the alert listed when I tap Emergency, but no notification. Extreme, Servere and Amber are all checked. It is also supposed to repeat every 15 minutes & play notification sound and vibrate. Nothing
I am told the alert is supposed to override DND, but this did not.
2. My DND is not turning off according to schedule. The settings are:
DND turned on until turned off & set to priority
Auto decline checked
Play Alarms checked
Events and reminders off
Calls on
Message on
Calls or messages from Approved contacts only
I have set up a list of approved contacts
Schedule for Priority (previously I had it set up for mon-sat begin at 9:00pm until 5:00am next day. HTC tech support suggested I set up a new schedule so I created a new one for just today starting at 8:00 until 6:00am tomorrow)
Previously I tried having my bank (which is on the approved contacts list) sent a text. No notification sound. I tried calling from a non-approved phone number and it went straight to vm. After setting up the new schedule, I tried another text from my bank. No notification. When I turned off DND I get the notification.
HTC chat tech support was less then helpful. As I was setting up the new schedule he asked quickly 2 times if I was there then disconnected. LOL
I could set it up on tasker but I like the fact if someone calls within a few minutes it will ring through.
Thanks everyone
Try auto decline off and events/reminders on.. I think the auto decline might be a decline all regardless. The notifications might be events..

No notifications when the phone screen is off

Hello,
As the title says, I'm having a problem with notifications when the screen is off.
I'm not getting notifications from Yahoo Mail, unless the screen is turned on...and I do get them ONLY if the app is opened.
I had Asus Zenfone 2 before this and I'm used to always closing my apps after using them by using the "Recent apps" button.
Even if I closed all the apps, i would still receive notifications from Yahoo Mail and Skype.
But now things happen like this: if the app is closed, I'm not getting any notifications.
If the app is left open, I get nofications only if the screen is on, if it's off, I get notifications for a while, but if for example I try
to send test e-mail after like 30-40 minutes from my Gmail account, I won't get the notification.
The Auto Manager is set to Allow on Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Mail is also set to Not Optimized in the Battery settings.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? I can live without notifications if needed, but I'd rather have them working.
Thank you in advance.
