What is the best way to achieve decent Quiet Hours? Even in the latest 4.4.4 update today, it seems futile!
The pre-installed "Assist" app doesn't work well: there is no ability to choose what to mute during the quiet hours. My mum wants to mute texts and emails over night, but not calls. Assist is also buggy: volumes appear to get changed unexpectedly the following day, after a night of quiet time.
I tried an app from the Play Store called Silent Hours (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silenthoursnew&hl=en_GB) but it did not seem to work at all... I enabled a profile for supposed quiet time, but an alert was still heard when I received a test test message.
Thanks in advance! :good:
(Edit: lol sorry for typo in thread title.. should be Quiet obvs, not Quit ... can't seem to edit that now. Admin? Thanks.)

Thanks but that app doesn't seem let you choose between "what" gets muted. As stated, I want to mute texts not calls during quiet time.
I found another app that seems to have what you want:

You can tell it to allow calls from favorites or when someone calls twice. As for the volume being buggy, I have yet to see that happen.

Yes, I saw that option which sounds interesting for certain circumstances, if you have favourites set up, but it is not what I am trying to achieve.
The volume bug was reported by my mum, its her phone. So, cannot verify that as yet. I know there have been various other volume related bugs with this phone, according to the recent Motorolla ROM update changelogs however.

Seer will mute everything except calls, and you can setup a schedule.

These are driving me up the freaking wall. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time, but even when it's not, my SMS notifications only sound once. When I'm in a call, however, every text message that I receive interrupts my call. Not only does it sound a notification (which the other party can hear), it does it 3 times! It happens so quickly, that the stupid thing can't even finish before the next iteration starts again. I don't get upset easily, but this makes me want to punch something.
I can't find ANY menu item that differentiates how notifiations for SMS messages are in and out calls. Can anyone help me?
Oh yeah, I posted it here because I'm running Quentin's 6.0 WM6 ROM (v1.2). I don't know if it's something unique to his ROM, or if it's a default setting. I tried posting in his thread, but no one answered.
I never had this problem on any of the ROMs I have flashed and I've flashed over 20. So Maybe you could try another and see if it happens.

Man, I hope so. I really like the Q-Mobile ROM, though... I wasn't planning on flashing until he released another one. It's the only ROM that has cured my "flashing fever". Heheh...
So... if you're phone is on "loud", and you get an SMS during a call, what happens?
i can hear the notification when I am on a call, but the other person has never said anything so I'm not sure if they hear it or not. Only bothersome because my tone is kind of long and it drowns out what they're saying. I've never had a multiple notification though.

The other side doesn't always hear it. Sometimes they hear it clearly, sometimes not. I always hear it, though. It drowns out everything else. It's like a freaking smack in the ears every time it happens. If I could find the person responsible for programming that to happen three times, I'd kick him/her in the crotch.

Hahaha, better watch it. I wouldn't be surprised if that started happening now....
Mine does the same thing on every ROM i've tried. It plays the notification sound, and then a "beep" sound on top of it, playing the beep twice. Never figured it out.
have you tried one of the kaiser tweak apps out there to disable in call volume beep's? this might just solve your problem
Hi,
Ive notice this since the first day i bought the phone but thought was just the ringtone. Then, i certified with a custom ringtone that the ring sounds starts at 0:00 but yet, when receiving an incoming call, phone first start vibrating, and then after a while it starts actually ringing.
Is that a os bug? Does it happen only to me? Is there a way (any imaginable) way to fix it?
Thanks very much

Hello!
Im sorry but i dont see any thread reference
also, i dont use a custom rom but my device is in fact interop-unlocked and i do have wp7 root tools
It's an OS feature. Typically people who have their phone on vibrate because they want to be able to pick it up without it making a lot of noise. Therefore the phone gives you a second or two to respond to the vibration before it starts the ringtone.

Thank you both for the answers!
Ive been investigating the ringing system on wp and i gotta admit im a little disapointed of how limited it is. I mean, my old symbian could ring, vibrate and increase ring volume at the same time. (wp can only do one at a time)
Nevertheless, my question has been answered, thanks
Anyone experience priority mode not working to its full extent? I have it set to only let phone calls in from starred contacts. When someone calls, its silent, perfect, yet when someone texts me it goes through.....i checked the app settings and there is nothing there to be selected to let it through priority. Im using Textra if that helps.
No

Do you set to priority plus vibrate or do you just have priority on regardless the level of sound?

I actually had this problem this morning when i was awoken by texts. The star was still there and after the first few it stopped making noise again. Really strange. As a side note why can't we specify the amount of time in prority mode more? i would like to set it for my 13 hour work schedule. oh well.

It works if I set it to vibration plus priority. Then everything is silent unless it's important phone calls, they go through. Just sucks how I have to set both those things to get priority. Would be great if it was a one click thing.
Regarding hours.... Yeh... That sucks, you're not the only one frustrated though. Maybe a custom roms could eventually fix that.
I've been having multiple issues with the priority mode. Just updated to 5.0.1 and, yet again, the sound went off. I had it on the desk on vibrate mode (set to all). Suddenly, a call went through and the ringtone went off. Somehow it switched to priority mode with sound on. It's been switching in between "All" and "Priority Mode" randomly for a while now.
I am on a company call as we are patching servers and every time we bounce a server I get a bunch of text notifications which is expected. The only issue is I am wearing headphones for the call on my honor 8 and I hear the notification sound in the headphones. Super annoying! Any way to turn this off??? Thanks in Advance.

I don't think Emui has a automatic option. But you can always set notifications to silent or vibrate only.
I suppose there would be an app that changes the sound profile according to phone activity, but never looked for it.

Unless using a specific app for that (with root?), no.
Well that sucks. I require audio notification. But it is way too loud in headphones. This is a deal breaker for me. Contemplating returning device to store...

I found a workaround for those who don't like audio notifications from SMS/MMS messagese in headphone while listening to music or watching videos. Install Google Messenger and use it instead. It seems that the Messaging app in EMUI is the issue. It's also weird that there is no option in the app to disable the "beep beep" sound that only happens when headphones are plugged in. Don't forget to set notification sound in Messaging to "None" and disable "Vibrate" or you may have notification from both apps.
OK now this is getting rediculous!! When on a call the person on the other end of the call can hear my calendar and text notifications. It sounds like incoming call "beep beep". This needs to be fixed as it is very unprofessional when on a business call. Please fix this Huawei!!!!

Yes, I get that too. The only way is to silent notifications and vibration.
People are talking to me and ask "what was that?", should have a option to disable it.
Also I haven't found any sound manager in Google play store. Probably only xPosed.

I've never done it personally, but I've seen others use it for problems, so maybe?
This seems like a bug asit does not always happen.

I'm experiencing this too, anyone has a solution for this annoying behaviour ?
I've written on honor 8 support forum, and they suggest to send my phone to an assistant center, but i think it is a software bug.
I can't really test this right now, but it looks like there is a way to fix it in settings. Under the Do Not Disturb section you can add a rule for an event and one of the options besides calendar events just states "Phone". That ought to squelch the problem.
For me I installed Volume Control + from GPS.
There is a free version but I did not test it on my Honor 8. Still the Volume Control + has controls to separate the Ring tone and Notifications volume so the work independently of each other.
To date this is the only option which works for me without Rooting my device..
Best of all you can manage your volume level for calls to system...
Now I can use the earbuds or phone without getting deaf while on a call or listening to music when a notification comes in...

I updated to 9.0.3 yesterday. It didn't cause the loud ding at all. I think it may have fixed it. I'll confirm again later today, so far seems promising.
Just updated as well... Let you guys know
New update me the phone super Snappy FYI
I don't think there's a particular switch that you can toggle. Although, what you can do is, delete /system/media/audio/ui/InCallNotification.ogg and you shouldn't get that sound for every notification during calls. But then again, you need to have root access.
Just got a text while on a call and didn't hear a ding. I'm on 9.0.3, completely stock.
@Macusercom were not the only ones. 9.0.3 may have fixed the issue fyi
