Why does "do not disturb" not stop the LED? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

Am I just a dummy or what? I feel like on my S4 and S5 that "do not disturb" turned off the LED. Any help?

Do Not Disturb Mode disable led notification?

Hi there,
Does "Do Not Disturb mode" disable led notifications? Because on my S6 that is not happening
It does not.

Override do not disturb option doesn't work.

Sometimes, during the day, I set my Phone with Android 7.1.1 to Do Not Disturb mode. However there are some notifications that I don't wanna miss, and I mean that I also want to hear the notification or alarm sound.
So I went into Settings > Applications and for my important apps (Reminder [1] and Whatsapp) I went in notification settings and I enable "override do not disturb" for both apps; furthermore I disabled these apps from battery optimization.
Well: despite the fact that I set these apps to "override do not disturb", when these apps receive/display a notification with a certain sound when DND is active, I only can see them with the LED and I can't hear any sound (but the notification is however displayed also on the lock screen).
So is a matter of no sound played. All is ok when DND is not active.
I miss something or is a know bug?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry for the noise: I reply to myself, since I found the solution (imho very hidden).
On the DND icon in the bar menu i double clicked and some options appeared: I choosed "Priority only", so the apps which are set to "override do not disturb" now are able to play a sound when the phone is set to DND.
I hope that this solution could be useful to someone.

Disable Screen During Incoming Calls

Hey,
Is there any way to keep my screen from coming on when I receive an incoming call? I've tried disabling lock screen notifications and that doesn't help. The attached screenshot shows options to disable certain notifications but they're greyed out and I can't adjust them. Is there a way to unlock them?
Thanks
I believe this can only be done via the "Do not disturb" function. There you have an option to select "No visuals", which is exactly what you want.
Go to "Settings" / "Sound" / "Do not disturb" / "Notifications" and select "No visuals or sound from notifications" (or try the "Custom" option). Obviously, you will need to enable the "Do not disturb" mode in order for this to take effect.

Warning: the "Do not disturb" option also allows you to silence alarms. If you need an alarm to wake you in the morning, be very careful how you configure this option!

Question Reminder notification turns on PPG sensor and stays on until notification is closed.

When I get a notification from the reminder app(and I am not wearing the watch) it turns on the PPG sensor until the notification is closed. If I am away from my watch the light will keep blinking indefinitely. Why does the notification app turn on the sensor? The alarm/timer apps do not turn on the sensor when triggered. Is there anyway to disable this feature , what is the best way of reporting this bug?

Charging sound service to override DND

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know which app or service is responsible for the sound played when the phone is connected to a charger.
Is there any way to find that out?
The reason is that the sound is muted during DND, which is not what I want. So I thought I could set the notification to override the DND if I knew in which app to look.
(Android 11)
Thanks
I think that's under notifications. Use Tasker. You can make a profile to disable "Do not disturb", emit the sound and then turn on "Do not disturb" again.
With Tasker I can actually just emit the sound without disabling and enabling DND, because Tasker can be set to override DND. But this would be overcomplicating the matter.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for a solution to my problem, not for a work around.
