Do not disturb not working - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

Hello guys,
Got my SGS6 Sat and the most recent OTA is installed. I notice and you can see in my screen shot that I have my DND setup correctly, but yet my "favorites or all contacts" if anyone call or text during the hrs it should notify me, it's all on silent mode, but when I turn DND off it rings or vibrate.
I have it setup to DND M-S from 11pm to 5:15am but yet yesterday and today people been texting outside of my hrs specified and yet I don't get notified.
Is anyone having the same issue or have their DND working?

I've reported a similar issue on my Note 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/disturb-schedule-longer-t3100842). Did you ever find cause or solution?

My solution after working with sprint and samsung was to d/l a 3rd party version in the market called do not disturb and that seems to be working well.

[emoji23] I just installed it, but I'd love to solve the issue so I don't have the redundancy of an app + built-in feature. It was working fine up until last night ?

I would have loved to get mine working without a 3rd party but even when I had samsung connect into my phone they still didn't now what was up, they told me maybe an update would fix it.

Did the DND schedule ever work for you or was it broken only after that update?

It's getting old having to use 3rd party apps for something that should just be working on the phone. Marshmallow upgrade messed up my phone big time.

The app itself might have Settings you can go into to turn off notifications. That's what I did and FINALLY I'm free!

"OK Google" detection from any screen kills the alarm

Just in case someone else runs into this issue.
My alarm (default app) would get snoozed immideately after going off, thus becoming useless.
I have discovered that if I disable the "OK Google" detection from any screen option, the alarm functions fine.
Hope it helps someone not to miss any important appointments.
The ok google from any screen feature also kills the video camera. You get a "can not record while on a call" warning.

Glad I happened to see this post ... For the past week I've been trying to figure out what was automatically dismissing my alarm ... Uninstalled and reinstalled so many apps and xposed modules and never figured it out. Thanks!

Gald I could help. Also, at least I know that it's not only happening on my phone.
I wonder if the bug has to be submitted to Google or LG?

Running in to a similar issue. But instead of the alarm snoozing. I get a pop up message stating "Alarm/Clock has stopped working" and then a flashing notification light. The problem started just this week. I uninstalled the latest Google update and also turned off OK Google" detection from any screen, but that doesn't seem to have had any impact. Odd that I've had no problems with Google Now up until this past Tuesday.

I was unable to replicate your issue. I only get the "Snoozed" notification.
However, I moved to Timely alarm app since and it works just fine.
Thank you for the response. I was hoping I'd be able to figure out what's the issue is and continue to use the stock app. But looks like I'll have look into a third-party app.
Thanks again.

[Q] Auto Brightness Keeps Turning Itself Off?

I know there's another auto brightness thread but I think my problem is different. I'll turn it on, leave the phone in standby for a while, and when I use the phone again I find the auto brightness doesn't have the check mark there anymore? Has anyone else noticed this?
I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast when I was using it. That's when I realized my setting was at full brightness but the Auto had become unchecked so it was running at 100 constantly without auto adjusting. I've used the 100/Auto checked on all my other Samsung devices dating back to the Note 2 and S3.
I'm thinking it's a software glitch which will hopefully be fixed in a future update. If it is, I'll live with it for now...
I actually had the same issue and I found that the issue was related to game recorder app I just uninstalled and now is fine
Interesting... I don't have any kind of recorder apps so I'm kind of at a loss as to what other app could cause that...

I'm suffering from this exact same issue. Very annoying because the auto brightness works well when it actually stays on.

For what it's worth, I started having other issues yesterday morning. When I first got the phone, and did the OTA, I did a factory reset as was widely recommended to do. Apparently it din't clear up everything.
What I ended up doing was, yesterday, I did another reset using the Samsung Smart Switch software. I backed up what I could, let it reset, and restored afterward. So far it's been 24 hrs and no issues.
I have the same problem with the auto brigthness with my galaxy S6 edge . but when i uninstall the car app from samsung its gone

Interesting.. car mode is the culprit? That's not the only bug in that app then. There's an option to auto close the app when the bluetooth connection is disconnected from the car.. it doesn't work for me.
But I'll just be sitting there doing something and if I'm in a dark room... WHAM I get blinded LOL...
I got a replacement today so I guess the saga continues...

I installed Samsung Switch for pc and did a backup for my edge.
I then did a factory reset.
Restored the backup from Switch.
I also un-installed a Go battery saver application.
Since then no more auto-brightness switching itself off.

Phone goes into Do Not Disturb mode on its own

I'm having issues, my phone goes into "Do Not Disturb" mode on it's own. I think it has something to do with the Android wear connection to my watch. I've reset the watch and checked to make sure it isn't set to turn on that mode. But still at random times my phone goes quiet. Curious to hear if anyone has had the same issue or a cure. Thanks!
yes i have the same issue with pixel xl & Huawei watch 🤔
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have the same issue as well. It also happens on calls.
It's a new feature in 7.1.1
You have to disable the automatic rules that are created in settings. I just deleted all the premade ones in there and my issue went away.

I have done this too and my phone goes into DnD mode when I make or take phone calls. It becomes an issue when I get off the phone about 50% of the time it stays in DnD mode and I have to manually turn DnD mode off. Anyone found a work around for this yet?
I posted this to fix it. Its a hidden menu https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-off-disturb-section-using-volume-t3598695
Has anyone solved this? My Pixel XL keeps turning DND on when I've manually turned it off. I do not use a smart watch or any other accessory. And I have already deleted the single Automatic Rule which I programmed (my phone didn't come with any pre-installed rules). I'm a doctor and keep missing super-important phone calls because my phone isn't ringing. (It's sitting in a cradle on my desk, charging -- so I know I'm not accidentally hitting the volume down button.)
Thanks!

The only sure fire way, if you're sure it's not an app you installed or setting you set, is to factory reset including wiping system OR flashing stock via fastboot. I mean technically if you had the time and you didn't wanna do all that you could boot the phone into safe mode, then wait and see if it does the same thing. If it doesn't , you know it's an app you have installed.

Phone calls on lock screen

I've been smashing my head over this to no avail. Prior to side loading 8.1, when my phone rang the caller and swipe up/down would appear on the lock screen, now it rings, but nothing on the lock screen till I wake it with the fingerprint sensor. Did I miss something? Was this changed? I've been through the settings and still can't see anywhere that I missed. This a security feature so no one can see who's calling till you hit the sensor? Any feed back would be appreciated.
I agree surprised more are not annoyed...lol
Doublecore said:
Well it seems it's only happening when connected to Bluetooth. I hadn't noticed since I'm connected to my headset all day at work. Disconnected from Bluetooth and had my wife call me...screen popped right on. So it's another Bluetooth bug I guess.

I tested incoming phone calls with and without bluetooth, and came to the same result. Since it's very annoying for the screen to not turn on, I ended up making a macro with Macrodroid to turn the screen on when a call comes in. This workaround will be sufficient for me until Google fixes the bug.
I posted on this same issue last week. It's the last update to Google Phone app that broke this. I don't have the time to report it to them...so hopefully it gets fixed!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/google-phone-update-bug-t3718424
*Edit- To fix(?), uninstall the phone app and it will remove the update. Should work then. Of course you won't be able to use Duo for video calling within the dialer...but I couldn't care less about that.
I just had this happen yesterday. Here is a work around with Tasker and Secure Task to wake screen on incoming call.
Import it in Profiles tab in Tasker and make sure you have Secure Task and have it configured with adb.

This may be related to the Proximity Sensor bug introduced with 8.1. Do you have a screen protector on your device? Does it cover the PS?
Nope.. No protector on phone at all.

It started for me on the Google Phone update to version 15 on Dec. 14th. I never had this issue on 8.1 that I did the OTA sideload when I got my phone on Dec. 4.
My proximity sensor is fine. Even with always on display, AOD goes off in pocket and turns back on when I pull it out. On a phone call the screen blanks when I put it to my ear and wakes when I pull it away from my head.
Yep -- I just ran into the problem today as well. I've got 8.1.0 on my Pixel 2 XL, and I get this behavior (display not waking up for incoming call) when connected via Bluetooth -- to my car, headphones (Sennheiser PXC 550) or to my Jabra Speak 710 BT speakerphone.
I considered trying Drupe or Truecaller, but then I read that packet sniffing tests show them sending your contacts data off their servers...so I think I'll wait for a fix from Google. Really annoying. There are a couple of threads on this in Google's product forums / Pixel User Community:

So far, Google doesn't appear to be weighing in with any useful commentary. The only "fix" for now seems to be "uninstalling" the phone app (which just reverts back to the OEM installed version) and then not accepting updates to the app. But I've read that this can spin up other issues.

Thanks. If this issue goes on much longer, I'll probably try that. Oddly enough, despite having played with custom Android ROMs and modding over the years, I never used Tasker -- concerned that having the add'l service(s) running in the background around the clock would be more of a battery drain.
I updated my phone app yesterday, and the screen lights up again upon receiving a phone call. I disabled the macro that I made in Macrodroid just to make sure.

Is there a xposed module to disable the stupid proximity sensor? I'm having some issues with it. It does not wake my screen up when I pull it away from my face.

I can confirm V16 fixes the phone app and resolves this issue. It's being rolled out gradually, in waves. If you don't see the update on the Play Store, you can download it from APKmirror. Start here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/
My issue is the exact opposite..
I answer a call on my bluetooth headset while the phone is in my pocket and buttons start being pressed so I have to take the phone out to lock the screen.
Any quick fixes on this issue?
I'm late to the party, but I fixed this on a Pixel 2 XL in our household. In the system's app settings I force stopped the phone app and cleared the app cache, then I disabled the "Flip to Shhh" feature in the phone app settings. If that fix works for you, please leave a reply so we can validate.

Notifications Stopped Working

About every few months it seems that for no reason what so ever my notifications stop working on my watch and I have to reset it. Does this happen to anyone else? It's very frustrating.

i kind of have something similar but instead of stopping, it can take 5 to 10mins to get them.
i believe it has something to do with battery optimization where something related to the galaxy wearable app gets dozed or something. so to me i think its on the phone side and not the watch.
Happened to me
Yes this just happened to me too. Very frustrating.

Check the app on your phone. I had same issue and looked into notification settings and some were changed. I wonder if app update changed my settings.
