[Q] Dropped Call Notification? - Captivate General

I'm hoping I missed something in the settings. . . but does anyone know of a way to enable a sound/notification when a call is ended/dropped? I saw there was a connection notification option but that only "dings" when the call connects, not when it disconnects.
I was left talking on my phone for close to a minute the other day when the call had been dropped--pretty annoying.

The Captivate does not drop calls, therefore does not require a notification alert
The iPhone is the only phone thats drops calls

I missed this feature, too. I set it up pretty easily in Tasker (market app--paid, but worth five times its cost). On the "Phone Idle" event, I used a "Vibrate Pattern" action to send two quick pulses when a call ends.
Tasker is amazing.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yet another use for tasker. . . I'll probably have to give the trial a shot which I'm sure will result in my buying it.

Incoming Call Direct to Notification

Does anyone know of an application that will put incoming calls directly to the notification bar instead of popping up in the middle of whatever activity is taking place... web browsing or smsing for instance.
Sorry if this has been asked before but i have been searching for a few days and havent been able to find anything.
Thank you,
This would be awesome!. Say it can show on the notification bar Incoming Call From John Doe and also ring as well if you like. This way it doesn't interrupt us at all!
I would pay $$ for this
Yep id be willing to pay also lol
I third that!
Forth-ed!
And coming from me, that's really saying something!
I'm pretty cheap
fifth-ed
I'd love for this to happen too!
6? lol
i guess you would press clear to ignore the call?
I would totally buy this as well.

well, selecting the notification could open up a screen with accept/reject buttons?

Incoming call notification

When I receive a phone call, the phone displays either 1 or 2 options.
Option 1: Regular notification where i can drag the phone icon to answer or decline, which is easy.
Option 2: It displays like the screenshot below. Nothing happens when I tap on the DISMISS or ANSWER. The only way to take a call is to slide the notification left or right to dismiss it, then pull down the notification center and click there. It is far too much work.
My LG G3 does not have that problem. Is it a bug? Does anyone have this problem. and how do I fix or avoid this?
Thanks.
UPDATE: I just tried reboot it, and it worked. Now I can touch DISMISS/ANSWER. Not sure if it will acting up again.
I never saw that. But I switched to a different launcher within an hour of getting the phone and may never have received a call during that time.

I get that too didnt realize it was a bug just an annoyance
Yeah I get that one one too sometimes and not sure why. Usually I screw it up and ditch the caller on accident when I get this notification bar for an incoming call. I hate it!
How did you enable that incoming call banner?
I always get option 1
Are you using the default phone app or hangouts

I use the default phone app.
And I don't think this has anything to do with launcher as I just changed to NOVA but problem still persists.

"Do not disturb" is still disturbing...

I seem to be having the opposite problems of some folks here - I've been getting too MANY notifications.
Specifically, at night, I set "do not disturb" mode and wear my S2 Sport (that's the 720, right? It's a 720.) to use the alarm feature.
However, I'm far enough away from my phone that the bluetooth disconnects and reconnects - and I get an annoying BZZ BZZT whenever it does so.
Also, last night it apparently WAS connected because I got a couple of text message notifications as well - all while DnD was enabled.
I've reset the crap out of the thing, it's had the latest updates, anyone else having this issue?
A couple of questions:
Do you get buzzed for the text messages? The notifications still come to the watch in DnD mode but should not cause a vibration.
Do you have the application Brrr installed? I use that for telling me if my watch got disconnected. It does not respect DnD mode.
Do you have the built-in bluetooth disconnect alert enabled? I have not tried that but it should respect DnD.
Hope that helps.

Hey there Fred - thanks for the reply.
I did get buzzed for the text messages last night, which is what threw me. The little minus-sign-icon on the main watchface was there, indicating DnD mode.
I've never heard of Brrr, so no.
I just disabled that alert now, since I really don't care about it. It buzzes me as I walk around the house and yard. It's more annoying than useful. I hadn't thought to look for a setting for that until you mentioned it
It occurs to me to test the notification buzz again - so I just turned on DnD and sent myself a text... and of course it's nice and silent. I wonder what's going on?

Possibly, the buzz you got was for a disconnect alert and the text message happened about the same time so that it was confusing. I use DnD a lot and find it works pretty well. It does let alarms through though.

I'm planning on the alarm getting through, but most mornings would welcome the extra sleep
I turned off the bluetooth disconnect alert and last night was smooth. I have my fingers crossed!

[Q] Mute notification while on call?

Is there a way to mute notifications while you are on a phone call. Like an option "mute notification while on call" or "silence notification while on phone"?
As it's annoying when someone spams you on texts or whatsapp messages while you are on a phone call and you continuously here the notification sound

I'm pretty sure you can individually set these settings within each app - whatsapp should have this option in Notification options as well as big texting apps like Textra.
not really, options don't mention any during call only as priority.

I agree.. i don't have that issue with the V20 either. But i really can't find it in the M9... very odd. I guess i'm blind. On the V20, i don't even think i did the setup, it was automatic. Which should be by default logically.
True, it's awful ... they should fix it. (Not solved with the B126)

Notification on phone reminding me to charge my watch when not wearing it

Anyone else get this since the end of January 2018? I now get a notification after I have removed my watch saying "Remember to charge your Gear if you're not wearing it" every time I have removed my watch (shows up maybe an hour after I take off my Gear S3. It's getting extremely annoying, especially since I can't find any way to disable this! F***ING Samsung! Only 2 options are "Silent notifications" which still shows the icon in the status bar and then the notification in the drop down notifications. The other option is "Don't silence or block" which means it will also make a notification sound. Inside the notification settings I can't silence the Gear S Plugin as the only option is for how the notifications are handled on the Lock Screen.
I hated the damn notifications when the bluetooth connection dropped and/or connected but finally just figured F*** IT and just lived with it but this reminder to charge my watch is seriously F***ING annoying as hell! My watch can have 90% battery life and I still get this notification a little while after I removed it from my wrist. Why the hell does Samsung do this kind of stupid BS? Give me the damn option to completely block/disable these annoying notifications! I am using the Canadian Note 8 (N950W) and literally went through every option on my phone settings and Gear Manager and on my watch even and can't find a way to disable this new ridiculous notification!
Does anyone know how to disable this somehow?
T-mobile note8 and yes i get it too, not annoying to me but yes it started appearing after the latest version of samsung gear
Absolutely agree.
It's F***ing annoying and I can't find any way of stopping it either.
The watch doesn't need charging every night and I'm fed up with being woken up by this annoying message.
I've ended up silencing ALL notifications until somebody (hopefully Samsung) finds a solution.............
Never see this notification ?
I've been seeing this notification now for about a week... I don't understand what the point of it is? This needs to be disabled, like wtf lol.
Same problem here, I've been taking my watch off after a late night walk and after going to bed, I get this annoying as buggery notification on my phone, which wakes me up.
Not happy Samsung, remove the thumb from the ass and get it sorted (fire your software team while you're at it)
I got this notification as well, annoying...
I get the message when it's on my wrist at 100% and 90% charged. This notification is not needed. Samsung we know to charge our watches when we aren't wearing them its common sense. You should set this warning when battery reaches 15% or 10% charge. This what the phones usually do anyway.
Same annoying nonsense here. When I work away I take one charger and alternate charging my phone and watch. Overnight I charge the phone so I get this notification an hour after I go to sleep. Crazy that you can't disable it without turning off other notifications too.
Go into your settings on your gear s3 and click on watch faces scroll down where it says status indicator and turn that off. That should prevent your watch from sending any status notifications to your phone. Hope this helps you I kept getting the same notification

But turning that off means I won't have the little orange notification dot on the watch face when I have something waiting cuz at work my phone stays silent and I check my watch for notifications.
I shouldn't have to disable that feature to get rid of the other stupid one cuz Samsung are incompetent. I don't know why Samsung does stupid **** like this, is it so hard to make it an option that can be turned on/off by each person's preference?
Anyway, glad I'm not the only one annoyed to hell by this. I emailed Samsung using the link in the play store app page as well as left bad reviews on the play store and galaxy store in hopes they'll change this stupidity. I won't hold my breath since it is Samsung but you never know, lol.
This is happening on my Gear S2 as well and it's very annoying. In between this and the s-health weekly nag I can't turn off I think this is my last Samsung watch. I skip all Samsung software updates that I can because it seems like every other week they break something or make an app worse. I just don't understand this design decision, I mean do people really want their electronics nagging them this much?
Agree

It's driving me crazy too. I have filled in contact form on Samsung site. Suggest you all do the same. Just let them know.
This is crazy, how could Samsung developers think its acceptable to make an audible noise reminding me to charge my watch anytime of the day?
I spent half an hour trying to figure out how to disable this only to find out it is not possible.
It's been waking me up at night!
You can turn off the weekly updates now. I just figured it out. On your watch go into apps, then pick s health. Scroll over to settings. Then click health nudges and you should see the option to disable weekly summary. Hope that helps with that issue.
Now someone just has to fix this stupid notification to charge the Gear. I tried tweeting with Samsung Support and they just don't understand that it's not a bug but something that they made in the new update. Sigh.
The real question here is what quality control / review went into this being added to the watch?
I was again woken up by a Gear notification from my phone today, I have no option but to put the phone on silent or turn it off.
The only solution I've found so far......
Having emailed Samsung support who were no help whatsoever I've resorted to a kind of fix - although it's far from ideal.
On the phone -
1 - Goto "Settings/Sounds and Notifications/Do not disturb"
2 - Tick "enable now" and then go to "exceptions"
3 - Select "Custom" and then select "Alarms", Calls from "All", Messages from "All", "Event/task alerts", and any priority apps required (but definitely NOT "Samsung Gear"!)
This doesn't stop the notification but does silence it!
It also brings up a permanent notification saying that "Do not disturb is enabled" - but that's silent too.
Calls and SMS texts etc. still get through with their usual sounds.
Optionally you could enable "Do not disturb" to follow a schedule - e.g at night only.
Until Samsung listen to their customers and pull their finger out with a solution that's the best I've come up with so far. Not ideal - but better than being woken up at 1am every night!
Same here since January. Damn update. I hate this notification. I always have the phone on silent at night so it does not bother me so much. But I hate notifications that I haven't asked for
Maybe this will work
When the notification shows on your phone, just press and hold down till you get to a notification menu and disable it.
I just did it, so let's see if that works
I'm getting all other notifications from others apps
Hope this helps
I got a S8 plus

That option has been around for a little while, never has worked for my S2 though. Its turned off and I still get weekly notifications.

That doesn't work on my Note 8. Any option I pick is ignored and I still get the notification.
