You could make Tasker profiles.

Llama Location Profiles has audio profiles built in. Works well.

Does Llama do automatic time profiles? Say for example I want to mute my notifications when I go to bed, could I set it to mute notifications from 11 pm to 8 am, and consequently unmute notifications after that?

The most user friendly app for this would be Trigger. Try it out.

Does trigger allow calls to come through at night if on silent?

Are you asking because you want them to? You can set all the sound volumes separate. So all notifications can be muted along with the LED and still have ringer volume up. If that's what you are asking about. If you are wanting to block calls, I'm not sure. I havent tried that. Trigger does integrate with tasker though so theoretically, you can do whatever you want.

Tasker is certainly not super user friendly but I find it's very good for mimicking sound profiles. You can create your own buttons on your home screen to switch between profiles. You can also set it up so that if you're on silent but get a call from "priority" contacts your phone will still ring. If you get creative you can even set it up so that if someone calls multiple times fairly quickly the call will come through (you need to use stored values to accomplish this, but it's not too difficult).

Yes. It is an automation program first and foremost, sound profiles are controlled by whatever condition you set, otherwise you would need to keep opening the app and switching sound profiles manually.
Similar to other automation apps but easier to learn than Tasker and it's free with no ads.
I use it to toggle my phone settings and sound profiles automatically.

profiles

Can i add more profiles to my device? Silent, vibrate, normal, etc.
Also, are there (good) software that enables time-controled profiles? Switch to a certain profile at a certain time.
Thank you.

[REQ] App to override silent mode for certain contacts

I've been searching for an app that will allow me to designate specific contacts or groups to override silent mode. For instance, I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. BUT, my girlfriend or boss or family need to be able to get a hold of me, so when they call or text it will notify me, even in silent mode. I believe Blackberry's have a feature like this.
this gave me the idea

Ideas?
There is an app called auto ring that will do that. I use it for the same reasons

Just tried it. Perfect!
i use foxyring, lets you set sleep hours, auto silencing, emergency contact list that can ring thru sleep hours with special ringtones. It can even do location based audio profiles. want your phone to auto switch to vibrate when you walk into work? it can do that. It even audio samples your current environment and adjusts your ringtone based on the ambient noise in the area you are located.

I love this app, but I wish it could do something else though, and having a hard time trying to search on it.
Just like Auto ring allows for certain contacts to override the state of the phone, I would like certain APPS to be able to override the state of the phone, for example, I would like my weather app to send its notification sound when weather alerts come out, regardless if the phone is on silent or vibrate ...
Sorry for hijacking the thread ...

Manage ringtone with tasker?

Hey. This is my first unrooted phone and tasker is giving me a hard time. Has anybody managed to create tasks to turn silent mode on and off and to vibrate? Mind sharing them?

There's a silent mode action which you can set to on (silent), off or vibrate.

All the info you need in my prior post. The action doesn't work. The task works, other actions are executed when they should, the "silent mode" action isn't. Does the silent mode action work on your z3?

Well, no, there was no info; you just said that the action "didn't work". I couldn't tell from that whether the audio icon was changing, for example. Anyway, In my case, the icon changes and no sound is produced. This was me sending myself an email; perhaps different sound sources don't get silenced. I did notice a sound the other day when my phone was in silent mode (can't remember if it was Tasker provoked silence), which I thought was a bit crap; silent should mean silent.
Mine works fine. I imported my tasks from my Nexus 5 and, apart from the odd one that used root, they work fine including all the ones that use silent mode.
Silent mode DOES NOT affect the media audio channel, is it possible something is using that to play your notifications? Try adding the 'Media Volume' action as well and setting it to 0.

Great! I have an audiofile as ringetone, another one as message alert. Works now.
It doesn't work after all, media volume set to 0, silent mode on and the phone still rings.
Try installing AudioManager temporarily and use it to test what volumes are being adjusted by tasker.
Working fine here as well. I just imported my tasks from my OPO. Unrooted.

Audio notification when in a call!?!?!?

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.

Could you try set up a ifttt script or something?
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...

Huh, mine definitely says Phone and it worked when I tried. I only tested on an outgoing call with my Bluetooth headphones, though. Hope you can find a way that works for you.

Per App Setting to Override Alert Slider Setting

Most of my time my phone is on vibrate, as I work in an office and don't want to disturb people. But in vibrate I don't get notifications if my phone isn't right next to me, like when it's plugged in to charge.
Is there a way without using xposed to allow certain apps (Accubattery, phone calls, messages, gmail priority, hangouts) to make a notification sound while the slider is in vibrate? I have an inkling it can possibly be done through a combination of DND and the slider, but am unsure on how I would configure it.
Thought or suggestions?
Edit: Also, possibly Tasker or Macro Droid could do it? If so, how?

Tasker shall be easy.
In Tasker create a profile - select apps you want to have sound.
Then in Task, make a new task and select audio and set it to whatever you want..
You are done!

It would be an pro's job but yeah I have seen people linking Tasker with each and every possible event going on your device. But I am not one.
