Stop notification pop ups interrupting games - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

I have a new A5 2017. I DON'T play music on it but I PLAY A LOT OF GAMES.
It's really annoying me that when I get a message or email or something a notification pop up appears and obscures part of my game and I have to wait for it to go away before I can carry on playing.
I don't seem to be able to find how to stop this without turning off all notifications. I don't really want to do this. I will know which app a notification is from because of the sounds I have allocated to them. I don't play music so I don't mind how much noise they make. I just want to get rid of the pop up messages.
Can anyone out there help me please?

It's very simple actually7, specially on samsung phones like this one. Just install "game Launcher" app from the Galaxy Apps, enter the app and enable "Game Tools". That will enable a floating button on every game you play, where you can diassable alerts while playing, block the navigation buttons and even record your gameplay (internal sound supported).

Do not disturb mode mutes all calls and alerts on your device, unless you set them as exceptions. You can set Do not disturb mode to turn on and off automatically at scheduled times.

[Q] notification help

hi
i had a quick search on the forums and havent found a solution, i have just changed from o2 to 3 mobile PayAndGo, (needed to save some cash) i had a notification mp3 setup to play on new email, know i understand that the same mp3 is played for any notification and not just a new email, but since been on three my phone plays the notification sound more than i get emails, im costly picking up the phone and there is nothing in the notification window or new emails.
im running android 2.2 stock, i don't seem to be able to find anyway of disabling the notification sound or anyway to say what to notify on, in settings/sound i can change the sond file that is played but don't see any way to disable it, and i don't seem to be able to find out what is causing the notification sound to play.
anyone help or know of an app that will help either set what condition the phone plays a notification or shows an event log?
i think it is down to the phone doping between 2g and 3g or coming back in to service.
thanks for taking the time to read this.
it is the mobile data reconnecting causing the Notification sound to be played.

[Q] Any way to get notifications to play over music without mute?

I'm running CM10 on a HTC One X and I'm wondering if there is any workaround to the android notifications annoyance. When music is playing, the notification will not play over the top of the music, nor dim the volume, but it will mute the music until the notification is over. This means that you miss parts of a song or a podcast if you get a message.
I know certain apps can bypass this. For instance, Whatsapp notifications play over the top of music without interrupting it. Is there any global workaround?
the only way i found is by putting profile to vibrate or silent during music...

How to silence call via watch?

Hello
Is there any way to silence a call using the watch? I am not talking about rejecting the call, just to turn off the ringer.
It can be done by pressing the vol/power button on the phone but I cant find how to do it on watch.
quick google couldnt give me the answer, hope you guys know any way to acheive this
You can look at the app "Ringtone Remote" in Google Play. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be able to do what you want. It is also free!
When you cover the watch with a open palm, the watch will turn black and the phone will become silent and the call will continue to ring silently
Nice, didn't know that. It actually did work... the first time. When I test it the second time the call on the watch gets muted but the phone keeps on ringing, even though it did work the first time I tested.
thanks it works. But i dont get a 100% success rate. But it still works
Wear Mini Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher. It has a Widgets screen that controls multiple things on the phone, including allowing you to toggle speaker on, mute, or vibrate... from the watch.
I would also like to be able to touch one of the icons on the watch face that I am using to immediately mute the watches' speaker. That would solve your request and mine also. Thanks

Google now reminders don't vibrate

Hi all,
my Google Now reminders fail to vibrate. The reminders will vibrate and play notification sounds on the phone though, but on the watch I can only see the card if I occasionally activate the display.
Actually those Google Now reminders would be extremely helpful as I can quickly set them up by voice command, but the missing vibration renders them useless.
Is it just me or does anybody else have this problem as well?

I am actually surprised hardly anyone is commenting about the issues with Google Now on the watch. It makes me believe my watch is damaged somehow.
Since the upgrade to 1.4 Google Now is very inconsistent. I get cards on the phone and not on the watch, not even a vibrate. I installed "Feel The Wear" and get vibrations but no cards. I have to open the Google app on the watch to see what was the notification.
Integration with Google Now was the reason I chose Android Wear instead of Samsung Gear.
Now it seems Google does not care about Android Wear.
I was also surprised that there was no feedback to my thread here. I was also searching different sites and found evidence, that there is indeed a problem with the Google Now reminders.
Example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/45jfym/google_reminders_will_not_cause_the_watch_to/
But I still don't know if it is not working for everyone. It would be good if someone who has working vibration notification for Google Now reminders could comment on this thread.
I guess the question should be be:
Who is having NO problems with Google Now on this watch?
I haven't had any issues with Google Now but I don't use it for a lot of things other than sports scores and weather.

Sound instead of vibration

Used to be program that let you use Text to Speech to Gmail, Hangouts.... all notifications you want to setup.
Got a new phone but the program is gone, I am back to hoping I notice vibrations.
Did the Developer give up on the app ?
Do you know what the app was called ?
The only thing I found on Google Play was something called Feel the Wear.
The program documentation seems to say to can get sound notifications not TTS but you can set it so when you get Gmail it plays one of the sounds.
Does not work for me at least not yet.
