oh gosh, am i dumb or the DND is buried under the settings page?
If i cycle through sound profiles it gives me sond -> vibration -> DND but without alarms
if i go to settings, i can select the priority function
is it normal or i am missing something? i have to go to settings all the times i need dnd?
thank you
Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. And also after I've selected "Priority mode" in settings and then use the toggle in the notification center it just toggles back to silent mode (without alarm). Quite the hassle to have to go in to settings all the time to select priority mode over night.

does anyone know how to enable the "repeat" box in the sound and notifications especially for getting new messages or emails?.....
The actual box is greyed out so therefore unable to put a tick on this box......i did use a third party program called pocketmax phonealarm but this app stuffs up my notifications.....the options "vibrate when ringer switch off/on" are ticked but when i do a soft reset it automatically becomes unticked so therefore when i get messages or reminders the phone does not vibrate anymore.......but in phonealarm app i have set it to vibrate but it still doesn't vibrate......so i uninstalled pocketmax phonealarm version 1611 and everything is now back to normal and running smoothly but i still want the notifications to repeat so i dont miss them.....so does anyone know how to enable the repeat box.....thanks in advance....
i found the solution under this thread:

Well as I was going typically crazy to get back the actual Silent mode on LP builds and wasn't able to find anything I stumbled upon this settings, and this setting I think shadows the real Silent mode. I don't know if this how its supposed to be or just a bug, but this is working for me rather well now.
Steps are extremely simple too, follows as,
1- Just make sure all the three options under priority interruptions are untouched, Events, Calls, Messages all of them (because if you enable these the device will vibrate according to the selected notifications)
2- Put the device in Vibrate mode (Sound-Vibrate)
3- Then hit on the Priority Only option in notification toggles, the bloody Green Star will show, and it will say Vibrate(Priority) under Sound tab.
4- If you use Light Manager app control LED like me then put that app under Priority mode [Settings- Device- Sounds and notifications- Application notifications- Scroll down to select Light Manager app and set as Priority] [This step is must, not optional]
5- Now go to Light Manager's Advanced settings, scroll down and you will see an option labelled as Wake Screen (Wake up screen while generating LED notification), you MUST enable/tick this option, IF you want your phone's screen to turn on on every notification. If you don't tick this option the screen won't turn on for notifications, but the LED will keep blinking nevertheless, if you do Step 4 that is.
So Step 4 and Step 5 are MUST.
Done.
Now when you receive a text message your screen will turn on and there will be no vibration, no sound (obviously, still) and even if you miss the screen turning up then the LED will keep blinking. This is how actual Silent mode works, or used to work, all along.

Do comment if I am wrong in anywhere above, and if it works the same for you.

Yeah, you mean when I play a song right? Yes, it stays like that. When you control your volume when music is being played then only media volumes are affected, so notification volumes don't change, but that's how it is for pretty long time anyway.
Nice find, no "true" silent mode was a bit annoying. Not a fan of priority mode and waiting for 5.1 to get silent mode while using this half baked silent mode that comes with 0B6 was gonna be troublesome.
OB6 has Silent mode already under the sound button.
Also, why set to Priority only, if you can set to "No interruptions", which is same as unticking all and setting to "Priority only"?

Yeah but that isn't "true" silent mode, screen doesn't wake on notifications and no LED.
As for no interruptions, that would make everything silent, including alarms, so that is a deal breaker for many.
Those 2 are the reason why this workaround is best for users who want "true" silent mode.
LOL it seems like I have forgotten to mention the most important step, I mean the step which causes the screen to turn on for notifications, and it has nothing to do with the firmware either, its all in the Light Manager app.
I freshly flashed a ROM, so while resetting up stuffs I understood that I have missed to mention the most important step. Added to OP as 5th point, if you don't do this step then the screen will NOT turn on for incoming texts etc., but if you do this step the screen will turn on for anything, even WhatsApp messages and all, which wasn't the case even in KitKat or previous iterations. Thanks to the dev of Light Manager app for adding this great option.
I use to disable notification outside of some apps because some apps (mainly games) don't have options to disable notification.
So on the Flex 2 there is 2 way to do it, the original way in settings/applications and inside one app properties I untick the "show notification". The other way is in settings/sound and application, where you tick "none" to disable notification.
There seems not to have any conflict, having the same option in two separate location, unticking one will tick the other one.
But time to time and quite frequently, the notification come back and the disabling won't stay the way I set it. They aren't all reseted just a few and it's random.
Am I the only one to experience it?
Hey Guys,
i bought the Honor some days ago and overall im very happy with this nice piece of hardware.
The only downside is EMUI...
This piece of Software is very "special", so i dont know if it is a real problem or if somethings wrong with the setting.
I receive some Notifications like whatsapp and some like Email not. why? i dont know!
When i open for example the email app and refresh, i get the notification. In the settings i enabled all notifications for all apps
and exclude every needed app to be killed when in backround or when in standby.I really went through every single option.
My second problem is that my phone dont vibrate. Not when someone calls and not when i receive a notification! i dont even see
a option, where i can set vibration on or off.
I hope u can help me with that,becaus thats some functions i want and need in my everyday use....
Apps need to be given permissions to show notifications. Go Settings -> Notification panel and status bar -> Notification center and whitelist the ones you want to see.
For vibrate: Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate when ringing and Vibrate in silent mode (if you want that).
It's weird to get everything set up, and not really explained anywhere that I know of, but seems to really help with battery life.
I managed to get my notifications now. I whitelisted the apps,gave them permission and excluded them from being killed. Then i gave the special one vip status. But i dont have or dont see the option for vibrate. I installed a 3rd party app to enable vibration for notifications.... Thats realy weird...But thanks for ur tipps...
i hope version 5 with nougat is coming soon....

What settings did help with battery life?
Just having a few things white listed instead of any app that feels like guzzling battery doing so.
So on the htc 10 which is what I am coming from I am able to choose silent notification or different notification level for each app, that seems to have changed. I cant find any way to get rid of vibration or sound just for specific apps within the notification setting panel. In the Twitter app theres nothing specific and if there is I have it off and in the app settings within the phone it just gives me the type of notifications such as direct messages, news etc. No where does it let me turn off sounds or vibrations for the app.
Within the Twitter app in the settings the only option is under Display and Sound, second from the bottom you can turn off in app sounds.
If you go to the app settings (where you would force close or clear data) and tap Notifications it lists multiple categories such as Direct Messages, Related to you and your tweets, etc. Here you can disbale ALL notifications (but moving the slider at the top to OFF) and the checkbox next to each of these turns them on or off completely.
If you tap on the item like Direct Messages (or any other item) you can again toggle them off for that function (same as unchecking on the previous screen) and set the behavior. I have most set to Show Silently, which will not vibrate or make sound. If Make Sound is on, vibrate is available under the Advanced roll up. Review settings for each type and turn vibrate off or change all to Show Silently if that's what you're after.
Hope this helps.

Thanks I had just figured it out when I saw your reply. Now I have a new issue, so I am getting notifications how I want but I am not getting the notification light with them, am i missing something or is there no way to get the notification light to come on with these notifications?
Pixel 3 does not have a notification light.
