Does priority notification work on OP3? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I'm currently on a Nexus 4 with stock Lollipop. I've set the phone up for priority notifications where between 10pm and 7am, the phone goes in silent mode unless someone on my contact favorites calls or texts, then it will give an audible alert. Given the OP3 has an alert slider, I want to know if this priority notification feature still works on the OP3.
Thank you

Yes, in stock OOS you can set priority mode calls and/or messages to be from nobody, contacts, starred contacts, or everybody. Note that stock OOS does not have the time schedule though. You must move the slider yourself each night.

This is a real bummer. I love this feature and have gotten so used to it.

Miscall & Messages Reminder

Hi all
Is anyone using any form of reminders for miscalls and messages?
I tend to miss calls and messages on my Galaxy S and I never know about it till the next time I flick the screen on
It would be great if this phone had some form of lighting like my old 5800 which would blink its button when the phone had a notification but sadly the Galaxy S does not
So yeah just wondering if anyone is using some form of reminder application
An ideal application would be one that makes a noise every 15 or 30mins
Research bln notifications and using minimalistic text with tasker... Works for me.

Missed reminder perfect foy my needs. Check it out.
Go SMS and Hand something have reminders and popups.
NoLED (my favorite app)
or BLN (less customizable options compared to NoLED , i.e you cant distinguish between calls, SMSs, emails, gtalk and other types of notifications. But has better battery life)

Try phoneweaver. It gives an audible reminder of missed calls and sms etc. After each reminder it waits double the previous reminder time before giving another audible reminder. The automatic profile switching is nice too.

Im also looking for some appliacation that can repeat the tone or vibrate again with in a preset time if the SMS/call is not checked.

[Q] Notification Methods For Different Apps

I use my personal phone for work emails but also for texting and such, so it behooves me to keep it loud so I can hear when are emails coming in but I regularly talk to my girlfriend throughout the day also via Hangouts and the constant dings every few minutes gets rather annoying. Is there anyway to make it so that my phone only vibrates in Hangouts (lets say only between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM) but all other notifications are normal? Or perhaps vice versa (everything set to vibrate except for phone calls and exchange emails)?
I'm rooted and running C-ROM (AOSP) so anything goes!
Have you look into blocking mode? you can set time when it is in effect, you can choose allowed contacts etc. Also in accesssibility mode you could turn off all sounds and have camera flash blink instead. In contacts you can choose your own sounds for each person's call, message alert and vibration pattern, you could even record your own sound.
I guessed you missed the part where I'm running an AOSP ROM lol thanks for the suggestion though.
This is more for when I have my phone in my pocket, otherwise I have active display set up.

Do not disturb with Tasker? Is there a way to make it work?

I set two time profiles to control dnd setting automatically for the night.
First I set it to priority. Second profile then resets it to none as that removes the priority icon from toolbar. I realised that all sounds are gone after that.
If I set it to all, priority icon stays in status bar.
I tried also to do just a single profile with ending time, but that also left priority icon to the bar.
Is there a way to get priority mode to work with tasker?
What are you trying to achieve? If it's setting DnD for the night automatically, you don't need tasker for it. Have you tried using automatic rules in DnD settings?

I have same issue and I can't find solution yet. I use set volume as workaround.
Oneplus seriously damaged DnD. Shame.

Adjusting volume is not that good.. Nothing comes through with that. I'd like to be reachable by phone for known callers. I quess we have to wait cyanogen to fix the rom
I've had the same issue. Tasker will remove the 'priority' status but screws up the volumes. The only way round it at the moment is to leave slider in normal, use tasker to set priority when needed, then on return to 'normal' from tasker move slider to mid position then back to normal. This seems to reset volumes back to normal. Hopefully oneplus can sort out this DND issue and allow software to override the slider.

I've found a way. Leave slider in mid position (priority) and use the inbuilt priority settings to allow normal audio to be heard. I've got tasker to set DND to priority and volume to 3. When full DND is needed, set tasker DND to 'alarms'. This kills all audio except alarms. Use tasker to go back to DND 'priority' for normal use. This does leave a constant priority notification at the top but audio seems to work. By using tasker/audio/silent mode, you can create a vibrate only mode that stops audio but keeps vibrate notifications with respect to the priority mode settings at a system level.

Good catch! You can delete the constant priority notification through Customisation/ Status bar

Nice one! You can then add custom tasker notify icons to display silent or vibrate modes.

One thing I realised is that having the slider in the mid position i don't get any notifications (without activating DnD).
Any thoughts?

Mine seems to work. On the alert slider settings make sure you have calls and messages set to 'everyone' under the priority settings. For other apps like Gmail or WhatsApp, go to 'app notifications' under sound and notifications and set them to notify when in priority mode. This is a bit of a pain but gets over the software controlled notifications issue until oneplus can sort something out.

Aha! Key was to set all apps under "app notifications" to notify when in priority! Now i think its working!
Many thanks!
I know it's a kind of trolling but somebody may not realise this - by using CM13 you have the best of both worlds built in.
You have stock android DND (automatic) and you can also customise what the button does. [I don't use neither of these features but noticed them in CM settings panel while setting up my device]
Hey @yourmate
Anything else missing/not working properly beside Dash Charge on CM? I am waiting to make sure it is stable (one thing I cannot afford are random reboots). For example, I am not using them, but curious, are the Op3 gestures available or gone? (V and O to enable flashlight/Camera - CM's anywhere gesture was not great I thought)
Automated DnD is for me the main issue on Op3, and I also liked CM's auto-brightness/Night mode. Kind of feel going back several years haha

Everything fine. Gestures works. No reboots so far. Instead dash charge and camera much better then oos. And camera will be ported very soon I think.

They're available in a dedicated menu
TBH I haven't used OOS for a second so I cannot really compare the two but I've bought this phone only for two reasons anyway:
- dual SIM
- official CM support
Sorry for being a bit OT
Sounds great guys. I guess I'll just ditch OOS for CM this week end then and forget all that DnD shenanigans once and for all

With OOS 3.2.2 DND works correctly with tasker!
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I can also confirm everything seems fixed in OOS 3.2.2. I can set the alert slider to any position and then run a tasker task to set vibrate only, all audio or silent mode. The slider can be used to override the tasker setting but tasker can be run again to re establish the desired sound profile.

I can confirm that this is resolved with OOS 3.2.2
Strange that my device couldn't find the 3.2.2 update. Installed it manually via TWRP without problem though.

Notification Vibrate Disabled if Ringer Set to Vibrate

Hi
About a month ago my phone stopped vibrating when I received SMS or whatsapp messages if my Ringer was set to vibrate.
Strangely, the option for notification vibrate becomes disabled or "greyed out" if i switch the ringer to 'vibrate'. (see pics)
It does vibrate just fine for a call- just not for notifications.
I am stock rooted, I was on 5.1.1 then updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1 -- no difference.
I've played with all the settings I can think of, with no help.
Any thoughts?
Apparently I'm not the only one, as I found this guy asking the identical question with a S6 edge on a different forum.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ion-vibrate-disabled-if-ringtone-vibrate.html
Nobody?
It's a strange glitch- no one has experienced a phone that vibrates fine for a call, but doesn't give the option to vibrate for a notification or text?
Some notification vibration settings must be set for that app. The screenshot you posted shows that notifications are set to vibrate.

Ah! Thank you so much for someone finally replying.
I must not have explained the screenshots correctly--- In the second screenshot-- I have set my RINGER to vibrate (as in for the phone).... and magically ALL NOTIFICATIONS GO SILENT (for every app and including SMS) -- not even vibrate--- and I lose the ability to change them to vibrate.
It used to be simple. Ringer set to ring, Notifications (whether for SMS, or any other app like calendar or whatsapp) would also ring. Ringer set to vibrate- notifications (again for all apps and SMS) would also go to vibrate.
Importantly I also would have control of the relative volumes/vibrations in both settings.
Now I only have that ability when the ringer is set to ring. If i set the ringer to VIBRATE--- then the notifications get totally silent-- -and are 'greyed out' so I can't change them.
It's weird.
Maybe I can't seem to explain it clearly, but I'm trying.
Thanks for the reply.
I am having the exact same issue. Have you ever figured out a solution?

Sorry for the delay.
The answer is .... sort of....
The graying out issue never resolved, but magically it DOES vibrate now with messages. Perhaps that started to work with one of the updates I've installed.
Still seems bizarre to me, but as long as the functionality returned... i guess that is good enough.

Whatsapp, DND and popup notifications

Has anyone noticed that Whatsapp seems to override the "Do Not Disturb" aka DND settings?
I keep getting popups even though I have "Alarms only" DND activated. I do not get sounds but only the popup which activates the screen and lights up the room.
I also noticed that if I set settings-->notifications-->whatsapp notification to Level -1 (as in no notifications) I still get popups, usually the second msg from the same person activates the popup and screen lights up.
I also tested my wife's phone Mi5 with RR nougat as well and same occurs with her phone so it is not a phone thingy but rather a broken DND by android/LOS or RR bug.
Could someone test this with their phone and with another rom perhaps?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set phone to DND (alarms only) and check that Whatsapp does not override dnd settings (settings-->notifications-->whatsapp)
2. Turn screen off and use another phone to send whatsapp messages (from 1 to several).
3. Check if you get popup messages from whatsapp.

Am I the only one using DND and whatsapp here?
Hello. I had this issue as well, perhaps it is indeed a problem with DND and heads up notifications, as I was surprised when I activated DND and still got WhatsApp notifications.
You can always disable notifications per app, but that's not a proper solution. On the other hand there is an option in Settings->Sound->Do not disturb, which allows you to customize certain aspects like what should it block. That was the solution for me, there is an option to block all visual disturbances with screen on or off, however this may be an option not available in the stock ROM (I'm using Dirty Unicorns, curious name, awesome ROM). Still look for the option in your settings :victory:

Cheers mate for the reply.
Unfortunately I have that setting already enabled, so all visual disturbances should be blocked when screen is off. But if that setting works for you in DU, then perhaps my Z2 RR has a bug and as well Mi5's RR.
I bet this is not a ROM issue but rather WA or Android issue cos the same thing happens with RR, AEX and iirc AICP.
