I have my Evo configured with the gmail app for push email with notifications (ring/vibrate). Overnight I leave my phone on with ring/vibrate enabled in case I have phone call emergency or something, however I don't really want it to sound/vibrate when I get an email at 3am. Is there a way to set the gmail notification for "do not disturb" between certain hours, but leave other call/text notifications on?
I get the notification on the watch when I receive a new message. However it doesn't vibrate so I don't know its where until I look at it. Other apps like gmail vibrates the watch. Does anybody know how to make whatsapp notifications vibrate as well?
thanks
You have to change the actual notification setting in the app for whatsapp. There isn't a special section for wear you just have to change notifications to vibrate as well.

that worked! thank you
Does anyone know how to get silent mode activated? There is the choice of do not disturb. But if you put it on priority it vibrates and if it's on the alarm doesn't go off and if it's off, you can only have either sound or vibrate.
It seems it's missing the silent option.

It says here that do not disturb "allows some resources to interrupt it when in Priority. Alarms always have priority".

Yes, but with vibrate. I want no vibrate
Looks like LG removed Silent mode in their rom and replaced it with Do Not Disturb. Pure Android 5.0 builds on devices such as the Nexus range still have a silent mode, so this was definitely a LG thing .

Thats just stupid...
I developed an app: Call Filter Alarm. Its sleep mode can silence all notifications (also whatsapp and viber), even on Lollipop.
Hope it helps

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind. :angel:
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you :good:
Very frustrated by the "Do not disturb" sound setting. Messed up my first alarm after update to Lollipop. Now I have to press the volume button, then from there "Priority only" in order to have the alarm sound working. Otherwise, if I press "Silent mode" icon from the notification tray it goes into "Do not disturb" so no alarm. And there is no shortcut in the notification tray for "Priority only". Really stupid...

Yip, my thoughts exactly.
It's crazy.
I also go thru the volume solution you mention.
So yeah, this is ridiculous. I loved my G2, and everyone said the OS was overworked. Now its more basic looking to the android eye, and i hate it. Im missing so many small features. Silent with no vibration and ALARM for one thing!
So I know Oreo expects you to control notifications per app, but what if that app doesn't include an options to disable vibrations? I currently have a few apps that vibrate and can't be stopped; it's bloody annoying.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
Is there any way to make some applications to bypass DND mode and work normally even when DND is enabled?
On my previous phone i could for example select Instagram video calls to bypass DND mode , now there is no such option.
I guess its due to the different android version but is there a way?
Thanks in advance for your help
I haven't found such option in the settings, but you might do a workaround with Tasker (intercept selected notifications, turn off DND, push custom notification with sound, turn DND on again).
