GPe Marshmallow Do Not Disturb WhatsApp Notification Help - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Back when I had Sense on Marshmallow, using the Do Not Disturb (Priority Only) would result in ANY from of communication from a specific contact come through and ringing. Doesn't matter if it's regular calls and text or WhatsApp.
I am now on GPe running Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58K.H15 and setting up notification is a bit of a headache. I have my contacts starred, which I believe is priority contacts. However, when they called, it lights up the screen but doesn't ring. I didn't try text but WhatsApp notifications also doesn't come in. If I flip priority notification for WhatsApp, it works. However, then all WhatsApp notification will ring.
What I want to happen is when Do No Disturb mode is set to Priority Only, notification from my Starred Contacts come through, be it on WhatsApp or regular calls and texts. Just like when I was running Sense on Marshmallow. How do I do this?
ALSO
WhatsApp Notifications and some other apps doesn't ring when the phone idles. It's as if it goes into Doze mode. Despite WhatsApp being "Not Optimised" in the settings. Any help with that?
I have Push Notification Fix installed and have heartbeat set to 1 and 2 minutes. Still experience delay.

FYI I have the following installed:
Xposed Frameworks
Android N-ify
GravityBox [MM]
Systemless root (Although I think I broke this because of the framework I installed)

When a contact is stared means it's in your favorites list, but doesn't mean they are in the priority list. I believe you have to manually configure the priority list, approving the contacts you wish to be in that list.

How do I do this on Stock Android?

I have found a solution to the problem above. It turns out HTC broke the feature by adding their own code, requiring VIP status like discussed above.
The fix for it, is found here for the GPe edition.

Some Google Voice Help Please :)

So I've integrated my Sprint Number with Google Voice - Cool. I like it. Mostly it's awesome to be able to sit at my computer and text\call people from a number they actually recognize. And being a flash addict, and yet someone who also wants to keep ALL my texts, it is quite useful.
Anyways when I first integrated, every incoming text would give me two notifications, one from Voice and one from default SMS app. I did something - changed a setting - I'm not sure, probably on the desktop side of things, but now I'm only receiving texts in Voice. They aren't showing up at all in my SMS app. Can someone help a noob out? I appreciate it!
I haven't used the integration, but what if you try to re-set it up and disable the text feature?

Sigh One day I'll learn to think outside the box! I have to wait 15 minutes after disabling to enable, but I'll let you know if it worked. It may not, because the settings may be stored server side and kept regardless of disabling, but I will soon see. Thanks.
So, messages are now showing up in SMS app again, so thats good, but I'm getting the double notifications again. Does anyone know how to disable text notifications for Voice? Also, I told voice that I wanted to route all calls through it - I've changed my mind haha. How do I change that setting?

Well for google voice, I don't know how to, since I don't use the text feature, but in chomp, you can simply go to the notification settings and disable them, and you'll only see them on chomp.

to disable text notifications, you will also have to disable voicemail notifications. just enable text/email notification for voicemail
I think it had something to do with Spring and google because same thing happened with me i still get picture mail on stock messenger and i can still send out once but none come in Sprint is maing out on that deal they are not getting any text data on are accounts

Ahhh. Well thats not clear in the least bit. If the notification feature is tied to both voicemail and text they should label it as such. But still thats an annoyingly stupid limitation. Surely they understand why someone, and I would guess most people, would like a voicemail notification, but not two sms notifications. /rant
Anyways, thanks for the help! Also for my other little problem about setting up all calls through gVoice, I just happened to stumble on a widget that switched that... still don't know where the setting to change it is though.
Voice took over everything and i didnt like it. I didnt even want voice to do it, but somehow it did. The only way i could figure out how to get back the option of what number to dial out from (google or cell) was to find older version of voice and install.

Ignore with text and a few other things.

Is it possible to modify the application that the ignore with text feature uses? (To clarity, this pops up when you have an incoming call, it gives you the option to ignore the call, and automatically send a preset message to the caller) I like the idea but it uses the stock messaging app and I use Google Voice for all texting.
Also slightly related, I noticed when I get a missed SMS in the stock messaging app, my lockscreen has a tab that says missed message or whatever. Is is possible to change that to maybe Google Voice? or maybe to show emails as well?
Perhaps this is a shot in the dark and maybe a limitation of touchwiz but I figured I would see if anyone knew anything.
I'd also like to see a count of unread Gmail and GV messages in the dock above the application icon, but that may be a bit too much to expect.

Do Not Disturb not working on Marshmallow

I have turned on No Not Disturb, with the following settings:
Sounds and vibrations: Priority only
End time: Never
Select priorities:
App notifications: none selected
Calls from: Favourites
Repeated calls: unchecked
Messages from: Favourites
Schedule: none set
I'm still getting notifications from Gmail and WhatsApp however (from any sender). I don't get a notification sound when I receive an SMS (whether from a Favourite contact or not).
Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone recommend a more reliable way of completely silencing the phone for all but incoming comms from Favourite contacts?
I'm running V20g-234-15 on an H815

no notifications when DND is enabled on phone..

im trying to figure out how to make it so my phone doesnt ring with unknown callers and ones that arent on my contact list.
to do this i enabled Do not disturb, then checked the box to allow calls from contacts and messages to everyone.
then i went in and set GMAIL, FB IM and HANGOUTS to enabled on the exclusion of notifications, so those work..
but now i did all of this, my watch no longer vibrates or has any notification pop-ups.. not even the exclusions i set..
any ideas how to make this work?

Turn off native messaging app notifications LOS 17.1 OnePlus 6T

Hello all,
On my OnePlus 6T running Android 10 and LOS 17.1, the main notification on-off slider is greyed out in the native mesaaging app, and in Setting -> Apps and Notifications. I cannot turn them off.
Need to keep the app active ( or get another ), because I use Google Voice for my primary number, though my *actual* cellular number is different. This means, that when someone texts me a V-card, I can't do anything with it in Google Voice ("File type not supported ".
To remedy this, I have the native LOS mrssaging app pointed at my actual cell number. In this way, every mesaage i receive the text in both apps. On the rare occasion someone sends me a V-card, I can see it and save the contact to my contacts in the native messaging app. I then periodically delete the messages in that app.
The problem is, that now I get notifications on both apps. I'd like to retain the notifications on Google Voice, but suppress notifications for the native messaging app.
Anyone have any insights into why I cannot turn of these notifications?
Thank you
NBUK
