This is a really silly question, but how do I prevent my phone from making the notification sound when a text message comes my way? I've attempted to silence it (beforehand), but I have a feeling I'm missing a step or two.

If you're using Android Messages, go into it's settings, there is an option to show silently. I am on Pie so it may look a bit different for you.

Hi, I just recently transitioned from the Note 3 to the LG G3 & find the phone to be an incredible upgrade!!
I got used to the "Blocking Mode" feature on the Samsung phone & find the similar feature "Quiet Mode" on the LG phone to be very lacking. On the Samsung phone I could activate the blocking mode & still receive phone calls from predefined numbers. The LG phone seems to offer a similar arrangement whereby phone calls from specific numbers could be allowed but the quiet mode feature works by putting the phone either in "Silent or Vibrate Only" modes & thus with the "Quiet Mode" activated even though it allows the call to go through but I can't respond to it as the phone is Silent or on Vibrate while I sleep.
This seems like a big oversight whereby the whole purpose of allowing phone calls is defeated!!
Can anyone please advise what to do or if I am doing something wrong??
Thanks
I think the allowed contacts will be able to reach you in Quiet Mode. So the phone rings when someone calls you that is in your 'allowed' list. I haven't tried it though. An good alternative to LG's Quiet Mode is the app Silence. You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cabooze.buzzoff2

Thanks a lot for your reply, that's the strange thing that even on the allowed contacts the phone remains silent.

I've tried it and yes, the phone doens't ring at all. Well Silence Premium is much better.
Thanks, does silence premium control the LED light as well?

Wow what a total f**king worthless broken feature. I had it setup for calls from family to come through and my wife and kids were in a wreck and my phone never rang. Wtf.
Multiple numbers listed in the allowed callers list and nothing. Verifiable, repeatable. I only used it while sleeping. When I calm down I will decide whether to return this $650 piece of $#*+
Extreme call blocker also is very usefull, you can create a black or white list, even block sms if you want! Really a great program!
I made as Tasker profile that silences the phone between selected hours when it's charging. Then I made another profile that allows calls from favorite contacts to go through anyway, with increasing ringing. I think I could make an app from this, if someone is interested.

I highly recommend the app Do Not Disturb. It has a few more features than Samsung's blocking mode and it's free. There is even a premium version for a buck and a half that gives you more functionality. Plan on buying it to support the developers but free version provides all I need for now. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Here is an answer to your problem. Long press quiet mode and you get his menu which should hold the holy grail or for the lame people a 'solution'
No, you still can't choose Sound under Sound profile. Only Silent an Vibrate are available. And that means no sound when someone important calls, which means this Quiet mode is useless when you are sleeping. Might as well turn off the phone completely.

I don't think you understand the problem..Allowed contacts are still silenced so the phone may ring but you will not hear it.

When you put your contacts in the white list in that programm i mentioned (Extreme Call Blocker) your Phone will ring on a volume which you have specified even when your Phone is muted!

Cool but what's that got to do with my post! I quoted member "Pilz" who was talking about stock quiet mode i am well aware of the 1000s of programes like extreme call blocker that do a better job than LGs attempt
AT&T rep duplicated it on the phone with me when I called about something else. They'd been using* it too and didn't think to test it first either.
Does that feature work on any variant?
For any other helpers, yeah we know there are settings. That's the point, they don't work.
Thanks for the working alternatives posted by others.
i noticed that when i receive or do a call, in the status bar it displays the do not disturb icon, it never occurred with MM and I'm not sure with 7.0 but i dont remember, I'm the only one? and what that means?

No clue. I don't see why the change was mandatory. I only know of this due to Android Police writing this up earlier today:

It's not a problem if it's an intended feature. The idea is that you don't have alerts, notifications, etc. going off in your ear, speakerphone, car stereo while on a phone call.

Aaaa ok.
clever google
When I initially experienced this feature I thought it was a neat idea. Then it started having problems turning off automatically. Now I find that 25% of the time it just doesn't turn off automatically and I miss notifications as a result. This issue persists though restarts, resets, and two devices so far. Using the 128gb Pixel. I have tried to adjust the DND rules so that I don't miss them. As a result of those changes I made, I can get phone calls but at least Google Voice messages through Hangouts still don't work until I manually turn it off. I don't remember the phone buzzing in my ear on any of the recent phones I have owned.... Even if this was an intended feature, the fact it can't be turned off is causing me to have pay an unusual amount of attention to my phone coming in and out of calls to make sure I'll continue to be reachable.
When making calls with this phone I get a quick double beep during any phone call I make - I thought it was a minute minder type of thing but it's not occuring at the minute mark, though at apparently regular intervals. Anyone else have this? It's driving me nuts!
I've noticed this as well, also while streaming music...I think it's when the phone bounces between LTE and Hspa?
It's a text notification. I had the same problem, took me a while to realize what it was.
I have same problem with beep but no any text notification pops up.
It is all notifications. FB, text, whatsapp, all of them.

What do you mean?
I noticed this to but on my LG watch sport. I thought it might be because of me running the beta. Normally it means I'm getting a notification but I'm not getting anything. Weird!

Every time your phone gets a notification while you are on a call you will get the 2 beeps. Hopefully they give us the option to turn this off soon.

Oh snap! That's what this is?! What an idiotic "feature". Thank you for sharing this discovery - I was worried that I was missing a minute minder setting somewhere or my calls were being recorded or something, though unlikely.
I have been trying to figure out how to have different sound notifications for different applications in my 2XL. One sound for all notifications isn't acceptable.
Anyone have any solutions? I have a locked bootloader.
I usually change the notifications sounds in each specific app, and I leave the default notification sound as none. That's what I've done in the past, at least. I'm not getting the 2 XL until later today, so I'm not sure if that's the way it's still done.
I have tried this but it doesn't appear to work that way.
The only way i know of is like what EMcTx stated.
you go to each individual app and change the sound for each one.
you can either go through the notification settings or through the app.

Seems to work just fine for me. I changed the Messages app sound different from default and my text sounds stuck. Same for emails with Inbox.

I apologize if this has already been addressed. Im having a weird issue where my ringtone, alarm and notification sounds are randomly changing on there own and I have to manually change back. Of course I only notice it once I get a text or phone call and when i go into settings, the sounds will be changed to something like: 9523 or 461. Anyone else having this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I forgot to take a screenshot of the last instance.
