On my Pixel when I placed phone face down, calls and messages, unless marked favorites, would not ring through. Samsung seems to block ALL calls, ALARMS?, but not messages??? Real annoying in a meeting, now have to place phone on do not disturb. Anyone know an app or fix to choose what notifications are controlled?

If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
Hey, I'm trying to figure out if the issue I'm seeing is limited to my device, or if other people are seeing it as well.
I currently have vibration notifications disabled for G+, Google Hangouts, and Facebook, but enabled for phone and text messages. If I have the volume turned up, my phone will only vibrate when I receive texts or phone calls ... as expected. However, if I put my phones sound profile to Vibrate, it will vibrate for all notifications, regardless of finite app preferences. I have to keep my phone on silent at night and at work, otherwise it just vibrates allllllllll day long. However, that also means that, unless I'm looking at my phone, I'll miss phone calls or text messages.
The Verizon store confirmed the issue, and HTC just escalated the issue when I called. Is it my device, or are you guys seeing that as well?
The watch still vibrates, although I have set muted i groups in whatsapp. It is quite annoying when you have hundreds of messages every day. It cancels all notifications, if I disable notification in watch or in application for whatsapp and I don't want this behavior.
It is any way to differentiate notifications for normal messages and muted groups? or another external application who does that?
Thank you
Hi, when I receive calls from Whatsapp on my MediaPad T, I can hear it ring, even the individual ringtones assigned to a specific caller. But the "thing" doesn't appear where I can accept the call thru swiping up. It rings in the background, without the visual part.
The same is for skype. It rings, but the screen remains dark. I've to open skype and only then see the call and can swipe to answer it.
Is there a way to change this?
Thanks.
Such a thing. During a regular phone call, the phone does not let me know about notifications. More specifically notifications are coming, but there is NO slight vibration, some short sound beep etc. This has a big impact on my work.
I will not take the phone away from my ear every 10 seconds to see on the screen if a new notification has come from, for example, WhatsApp or another app. This is absurd. Any fix?
Same problem here. Any solution?
