Noled and audio alert...

Hello guys...
I am using with satisfaction Noled app and I gave a try to the audio alert yesterday, an option I never used. It works, in fact when I receive an email or a phone call, a digital voice alerts me (about the incoming call telling the name of the caller for instance). Now I want to turn off the option but it does not work: even if I uninstall Noled, the alert is always present and it is a little bit annoying.
Do you know if there is a trick or a system option I can fix inside the phone? For sure it is a bug of the app which changed something somewhere I don't know...
thx to all

That's not Noled - that sounds like driving mode in the voice input settings. (in text to speech)

You are partially right. Noled entered in conflict with my car mode because I did not noticed that it turned on alone (don't ask me how, I never used this option). Plus they started to play each other when getting a notification of SMS out call...so everything was messed up...I uninstalled noled, reinstalled it and turned off car mode. Now it seems to work. Maybe it happened when I changed my custom ROM...many times happens something with Android when you flash even if you follow exactly the proper procedures...
Thx anyway, mate.

if flashing a whole different rom, and changing sims didn't work, then sorry buddy, I won't be able to help you anymore...
last option, search in market for an app that totally disables vibration...(can't link you though, since I don't use google's market...too slow for me)

[Q] Real silent mode in Lollipop? [Also Whatsapp/Viber Priority Interruptions Issue]

So, before Lollipop we used to slide the volume down to zero to get in to vibration mode, and press another time to go complete silent.
I used to have my phone in silent mode at work, sitting on the table, because vibration on a table is pretty noisy. I just silenced it and the notification light showed me any incoming notifications.
Lollipop introduced this new "Priority Interruptions" mode, and if you don't have any interruptions set up it is basically like the old silenced mode. The issue is that in priority mode the LED notification light doesn't light up anymore!
So, any help replicating a completely silent and non-vibrating phone showing notifications through led?
Thanks in advance :good:
UPDATE:
If you use a third party app to light up the light while in priority mode, you have to enable his notification access:
Settings > Sound and Notification > Notifications Access > Check Lightflow/Light Manager Access
Also you need the notification app itself to be activated as a priority interruption:
Settings > Sound and Notification > App notifications > Lightflow/Light Manager > Enable Priority
Thanks to sorcio91 on figuring this out. :good:
Meanwhile we found out some apps don't obey to priority rules. Whatsapp is one of them, and also user naelya reports Viber is creating issues. If you find any issue with some other app let us know in this topic. According to sorcio91, dowloading the version at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ solves the issue.

I have my phone on silent 24/7 and rely on notification light too.. Frustrating they removed a basic feature like putting ringtone/vibrations on silent only..

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I use timeriffic to setup profiles, but it's pretty much useless now. At work I usually have my phone on silent and use my watch and notification light for notifications, but that doesn't work now. Looks like the final build is more of a nod towards the N6.
Will tasker get round this?

I have a problem with that too....
And: with priority interruptions active, whatsapp continues to make sounds when notifications arrives...is for you the same?

Had the same issue on the developer preview, but i thought it was a preview bug at that point. Didn't receive many notifications in the last few hours, but i'll see if i experience that also.
Back on the notification light:
Is there anyway we can report back to google? But this is more of a feature request than a bug i think.

Dear friend, i've just found a workaround...the version of whatsapp downloadble at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ works well with lollipop notifications manager, but if you update or install it from the play store it will (in some strange way) bypass the notification manager and it will "ring" even in priority mode.
Let me know if it works for you...

my whatsapp seems to be working ok, just the notification light thing is bugging me.

Can you please check your whatsapp version number?
Have you tried if lightflow or some app like that does the job for the notifications?

I just tried with a friend and Whatsapp rings full volume in priority mode, even if it's not set up to. That's strange, becasue I thought that ringtone volumes were blocked at system-level.

I use Light Manager but I don't think it's the app fault. The led does not light up even with in-app basic light settings. I wrote to the developer to know if he eventually can override that behavior (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56706374&postcount=2015).
I also have Lightflow PRO from the Play Store, but didn't have time to try that extensively. I doubt it will work though.

That's bad. But it's also possible that Whatsapp uses some deprecated code in the app development that results in this. It's not the first time that this multi-billion company shows examples of really bad app design...

I have just opened a support ticket with Viber for a similar issue.

I have app Light Flow. It work. But seems there is one trick for this. Install Light flow app. Then go in Options/Accessibilitiy and and turn on Lighht Flow Lite!
Please answer if this working for you.
I have find REAL silent mode! Top ****! =]
Just click volume button, and there is priority mode. Just click first option! Or set priority mode. In priority mode you can turn on notification for like SMS, and turn of for incoming calls!

I know that you can use NONE, but that way also alarms are silenced. And in the morning I need to wake up to something :good:
By the way without any third party software you can't have notifications light up when in priority. Don't know if consider this an issue or an intended feature. By the way, with light manager, notification access is also enabled but doesn't seem to work anyway.

I still can't get it to work. I have the full version of the app. I have it activated, no persistent icon (other than the L Preview one it puts on automatically) and then I have set priority mode on with no active notifications...but nothing lights up.

[APP] Movie Mode/Meeting Mode

*Gear 2/NEO method at bottom of post*
Hey what's up guys!
I have put together this app for those movie goers out there who don't like to be disturbed while watching a movie.
It's still in a beginning stage but works as I intended it to be for now.
The works:
This app is called "Movie Mode"
It's an app that works as a toggle. It has no user interface, You just put the icon on your home screen or wherever is easy for you to access.
Once clicked once it will activate and send your phone into vibrate mode, ignore all calls, and send the caller a text message simply saying:
"I'm watching a movie, I'll call you back after".
Then, after your movie is finished, you click the icon once more and it turns your sound back on and accepts calls again.
And that's it!
And if you have a Gear 2 smart watch you can add it through the launchgear app and be able to toggle from your smart watch.
If you enable notifications for the app you will recieve a quick notification on the watch saying either "Movie Mode ON" or "Movie Mode OFF"
Feel free to try it out and let me know what you all think about it! ?
Thank You

What mode are you looking for? I just have to do a few edits and pack it back into an app
You just want it to changed to "I'm at work, I'll call you after"?

Would have the possibility of making an app to schedule bluetooth gear goes out at night and conserve battery power and you do not get disturbed?
Or simply a manual switch.

So you're talking like, have a night mode to switch the Bluetooth off and ignore the calls and send a text to whoever calls saying you're sleeping?

No Display On Incoming Calls

I looked around to see if any other thread was made about this and I could not find one. So I apologize if this as been asked before. But - does anybody else having issues when your phone rings, the display does not light up? It remains black? The only way to see who is calling is either press the power button or use the Pixel Print sensor.
This is the only time I have an issue with display. The proximity sensor is not the problem, the phone is not in a case - and I turned auto lock time up to 5 minutes to make sure its not a lock screen issue. Can't find anything in the settings that would turn display off on an incoming call.

Same here got it starting last week. I think it's the phone apk

I have discovered the same issue, but it only occurs when my phone is connected to a Bluetooth device. If I disconnect the Bluetooth device the screen comes on for an incoming call. Must be a new feature they have added.
I removed the latest phone APK and the issue went away. Updating to latest APK again, v15.0.179075669, the issue comes back.
I contacted Google support and they offered to replace my phone. A bit excessive I think as to me it looks like a software bug.

My wife's Pixel 2 started doing the same thing. She complained to me about a week ago. I'm glad I found this thread, so it seems to be a software bug.

How do you remove the latest phone APK? I'm having this exact issue - tried troubleshooting with Google and they wanted me to do a reset of my phone, which (a) I don't think will help, and (b) I don't want to reset everything! This is an annoying "feature" - there should absolutely be a way to override this default, if this is indeed the intended functionality.

You go to settings and then you go to your apps then you go to phone and then after you click into your phone on a top right corner is three dots you click on that and select uninstall updates... That's how I fixed mine until they put out an APK for the phone app that actually works right.

same problem here!

I only got this for Spam calls so far

Yesterday it was a call from a local store that was calling me to let me know that my order was in. This morning, it was my daughter's school's automated system calling about school delays. Both of which required me to turn on my display to see who was calling.
I've just placed a feedback comment from within the phone app so google can take a look into it.

I discovered this while connected to my car bluetooth as well. However, there was another time when only the ambient display showed a small phone icon and the name of the caller with the words "incoming call" next to it. The rest of the phone did not light up.
It sucks because the caller ID does not transmit to the car's screen, so I'm answering blindly.

It's the same for me. I have to press the power button to see whose calling me. I thought it was just me. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

It drives me nuts!!! Same here. The screen doesn’t lights up on incoming calls whem bluetooth is actively connected.

Just happened today....going to try turning Bluetooth off and check it out....

I had the same issue, and after googling around I found only one solution - factory reset. I did it and it works.
But after that playing with the settings I found where was the problem and You can fix the problem without Factory reset.
Go to Settings - Apps & notifications - App info - Phone - App notification and there you should enable Incoming calls.
Under the Incoming call should appear the text *Make sound and pop on screen*. If *No sound* appears, then click and hold on *Incoming calls,* then click on I*mportance* and finally click on *Urgent*.

I followed your instructions, but all of my settings were already correct and I still have the issue.

Having the same problem here too. It's especially maddening when I'm riding my motorcycle with the phone connected to BT headset. There are very few people that I want to answer the phone when I am riding and with the phone in it's mount I can't easily hit the power button with gloves on to see who is calling.
Hopefully it gets addressed soon. In the mean time there a link to an existing complaint thread that I can add my voice too?
