Here's the problem:
Using stock lollipop 5.1.1 I have only 3 contacts who are starred in the contact list which I wish to receive notifications or calls from. All other notifications or calls I wish to ignore between 22:00hrs and 9:00. So I go to "sound and notifications" then "do not disturb" set up the sliders to allow "events and reminders , calls, messages" from "favourite contacts only". Set the days and the slider to "allow exceptions".
Now, when it gets to 22:00hrs a circle with a line appears in the notification bar. However I do not recieve notifications from any starred contacts. Shouldn't the scheduled "do not disturb" allow calls/messages from starred contacts as I have already set?
I have unstarred and restarred the contacts. Disabled "do not disturb" and re-enabled it. I have even factory reset the phone, but a scheduled do "do not disturb" (with exceptions etc) still prevents notifications from starred contacts. Is it broken or am I totally getting how to use it wrong?
I'm of the impression it should show a star in the notification bar instead of the circle and line. After all what's the point of exceptions if they aren't used?
If I manually use the volume key and switch on do not disturb and slide allow exceptions it works fine. Can someone test theirs and let me know?

I've attached pictures (but altered the time as its already past 9am). As you can see, I've set the exceptions and other sliders. Note the circle with a line instead of a star)

Ever since I had to reinstall all of my apps, this message appears every single time I start a new message, and I am not sure why. Has anyone else seen this? More importantly, does anyone know how to fix it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what I'm seeing...
If I open Hangouts to the main screen with either the contact list or hangout/conversation list, I can click my name at the top left of the screen to open up a menu. There is a listing for "Settings" at the second position up from the bottom of the menu. If I tap the account/username listed in the next menu on the next screen which appears, then I see a global settings list for this user account including "Hangout Notifications" options for "Hangouts messages & invites" as well as "Video calls." You can turn on/off notifications here and it should affect all the hangouts/conversations for that account.
Next, if I open an existing conversation (such as the new? hangout/conversation in which you saw the red notice message), at the top right of the screen there is a menu button (three stacked dots). I can tap the menu button and choose the menu listing for "People & options." Here I can turn on/off notifications for this specific hangout/conversation. This setting here is likely the cause of the red notice message you've seen.
I hope some of that information helps.
Settings was the first place I looked. Went through all 3 accounts as well as SMS. I don't have notifications shut off anywhere.
You check in settings>apps>all>hangouts to see if you are set to receive notifications from the app?
Yup. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Hello everyone,
In my country, carriers would send those annoying pop-up messages (I think they're called class-0 messages?). This has been the case for a couple of years and they won't stop no matter what you do. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal with my previous phones; I just learned to ignore them.
However, with my A30s (which I've had for a few months), I'm facing a critical issue where the screen will turn on for the message and never turn off unless I close the pop-up or manually turn it off by pressing the power button. There are basically two types of those messages:
1) Ones that show up after a call is ended (very annoying but avoidable if I remember to close the message after ending the call):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Ones that show up randomly (sometimes at night while I'm asleep. Screen stays on overnight and drains the battery):
I couldn't even tell which app is responsible for displaying those messages. I checked the permissions for the messages app and the phone app, disabled the "draw over other apps" permission for the messages app, installed Google's messages app and set it as default (since I can't uninstall or disable the main one) but the problem persisted. I also checked the permissions for the "SIM toolkit" app but there were none. I tried disabling the notifications but the option was grayed out.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these messages?
Note: I want to avoid rooting the device or installing a custom rom.

On my Samsung phone running on Android 12, I clicked on Reset Notification Importance (inside Developer Options) to see what happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, the order of notifications have changed. In fact, it is completely messed up. Some of the Silent Notifications are showing on top, while newer (alert) notifications are showing in between or at bottom. Silent Notifications (and persistent notifications) are supposed to appear BELOW Alert Notifications, towards the bottom. I didn't find a setting that changes the notification priority.
How I want it to be:
The Notification Shortcuts bar should be on top, and all new notifications must come right below it. All persistent notifications must keep moving down as new notifications come through.
But this is how it is at the moment:
It is a jumbled mess.
How do I change the notification priority (or importance) for apps? I want to minimize the notification importance for all (or most) apps with a persistent notification.
This has been like this for well over a month now. I have rebooted my phone a few times over this period too.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Glad to report that I have solved the problem by identifying the culprit. I have been living with this problem for over 5 months. This setting in QuickStar (Good Lock module) is the culprit:
I had enabled that setting earlier. Disabling it resolved the notification priority (all persistent/ silent notifications now sit below Alert notifications).
I have my new phone for two days, but didn't manage to figure out how to properly configure the notification settings.
I'm used to get a tone or vibration if a new message comes in. This phone also notifies me if an notification changes. If I play music through Spotify e. g., the phone vibrates when playing the next song. This gets annoying quickly, when a message with progress information is displayed and I get notified for every change in percentage (updating, downloading stuff, etc.).
Is there an option to disable this behavior (but still get notified for new messages)?
Is there an option to entirely disable notification tones while the display is on?
Thanks

You have very granular control over your notifications. Long press the notification in the pulldown menu, then you can set it to be 'Other'. Additionally, you can can navigate from there to the deeper notification settings to turn off sound/vibrate/etc.
The per app setting is working great, but is there maybe a more global option I'm not seeing?
And is there an option to ignore changes of the content (e.g. ignore the progress change of 1% to 2%)?
The option controlling the vibration if a new message comes in seems to be a subsetting of the accessibility settings rather than the normal tone & vibration settings. I had this option enabled and my phone ignored the per app vibration setting. When disabled, it never vibrates on new messages.
The solution seems to be to disable and re enable this setting. Now my phone behaves normal and doesn't ignore the per app settings.
Mentioned accessibility setting (2nd from top):
