Ok, i put my phone on silent mode from 2230hrs until 0700hrs every day. But some weeks i start work at 0530hrs and my alarm still sounds.
Sometimes i need to do a shift swap and forget to set my alarm but it is on my google calender.
Is there a way to play calendar alarms / event tones / notifications even when phone is in silent mode?
I have looked through the phone settings but thought i may have missed something.
I also use an app called Timeriffic which i find quite useful
Thanks.
using ARHD7.2.2 intil tonight when i move to 8.0.0
I have 2 problems that might be related. I am unsure.
1. I am not getting emergency notifications. I see the alert listed when I tap Emergency, but no notification. Extreme, Servere and Amber are all checked. It is also supposed to repeat every 15 minutes & play notification sound and vibrate. Nothing
I am told the alert is supposed to override DND, but this did not.
2. My DND is not turning off according to schedule. The settings are:
DND turned on until turned off & set to priority
Auto decline checked
Play Alarms checked
Events and reminders off
Calls on
Message on
Calls or messages from Approved contacts only
I have set up a list of approved contacts
Schedule for Priority (previously I had it set up for mon-sat begin at 9:00pm until 5:00am next day. HTC tech support suggested I set up a new schedule so I created a new one for just today starting at 8:00 until 6:00am tomorrow)
Previously I tried having my bank (which is on the approved contacts list) sent a text. No notification sound. I tried calling from a non-approved phone number and it went straight to vm. After setting up the new schedule, I tried another text from my bank. No notification. When I turned off DND I get the notification.
HTC chat tech support was less then helpful. As I was setting up the new schedule he asked quickly 2 times if I was there then disconnected. LOL
I could set it up on tasker but I like the fact if someone calls within a few minutes it will ring through.
Thanks everyone
Try auto decline off and events/reminders on.. I think the auto decline might be a decline all regardless. The notifications might be events..

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.
Has anyone else noticed that when in vibrate mode ALL notifications vibrate regardless of their app settings? It's rather annoying and previous phones weren't like this. My S7e still followed per app vibrate settings (eg mail app). On the s8+ i get a vibrate for every single email i receive regardless of the fact no vibration option is selected in the app.
Seems to be a bit of a bug....
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.
