Hi,
I changed the ringtone of one of my friends to a different one (in contacts settings). I was under the impression that this only changes the RINGtone (when the contact calls me). However, it also changed the notification sound of WhatsApp for example for this particular contact.
As you can only choose Ringtones in the menu, I now get an annoying ringtone everytime the contact sends me a message.
I also can't revert the changes as I can't find "Default" in the menu.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this (at least get the default settings back)?
Edit: Omg it was in whatsapp itswlf. Can be clo
Here's the deal, I have a Viper Smartstart app on my phone. Everything works well, but I wanted to specify
a specific ringtone for my alarm alerts on my phone. The problem is that there is no specific telephone number that the sms is coming from. Rather than a number it says [email protected] in the number field. Because of this, the alert sounds are the same as all my other sms that come through. I wanted to have a siren sound for the smartstart.
I tried to save the contact and assign the alert but it didnt work. Any suggestions for settings or apps?
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.
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?
Just picked up the 11 and I am trying to set it up as my older phone (Note 10) regarding DND (do not disturb).
With my old setup, I could silence everything except phone calls. With the new phone, it seems that phone calls are tied to messages and filtered by all contacts, favorites or none.
Putting Phone and Phone calls as app exceptions will silence calls received if for the People section I select None, and selecting Contacts in People will permit group Whatsapp messages etc. which is really annoying.
Does anyone know how I can allow only phone calls (without regard to who's calling) and block everything else?
