For some reason, no matter what text or phone app I use, I receive visual notification banners at the top of my Android Auto screen but no audible notifications at all. I need to receive audible notifications of incoming texts and phone calls, so I can respond to them immediately. My phone stays in the central bin of my car, so I need to be able to respond by voice, not by physical interaction.
The phone automatically starts Do Not Disturb whilst connected to my car's bluetooth, or when connected to my Honda's Android Auto system.
It seems crazy to me that DND disallows audible notifications but allows banner notifications. After all, it is far more distracting to view and interact with a visual banner than it is to just listen to an audible notification and respond verbally.
Is there a way of disabling DND permanently whenever I connect to my car? If I try to turn it off when connected, the phone just re-enables it immediately.
@Scootmien,
No, DND is baked in to AA. There's no way to disable it. Package deal...

Crap. Oh well. It still seems silly to me that visual notifications come through but not audio ones.
So I guess that not even flashing another ROM onto the phone would sort it, as it's an AA thing.
Thanks for the reply.
@Scootmien,
No, a custom ROM won't change anything with AA. Here's a lengthy thread on the Google AA forum about your request > https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/android-auto/twGRWEcrt7E;context-place=topicsearchin/android-auto/do$20not$20disturb
I've done a workaround using Tasker. When AA starts, wait four seconds, disable DND, wait four seconds, Disable AA again. No exit task.
Seems to work so far.

Hi guyz,
Googled it with no real solution.
Is there any way to disable waking my TP on notifications like low battery, etc. Message notification is easy to disable, Answerkeys Disabler works like charm when it comes to incoming calls but I want to disable waking up the device on any notification and have only audible alerts.
Often when in pocket or case my TP wakes on notifications like low battery and starts random dialing, texting, etc. which is getting annoing.
Thanks in advance,
dEM
ummm, through sounds and notification settings?
Ummm, nope. Disabled Enable sounds for Notifications (alarms, reminders) and set Reminders only on Vibrate (unchecked Display message on screen).
Anyone..?
You could try this one for disabling wake up for sms.
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\ DisableSMSWakeUpEvent, set to 1
I've turned it on last night, but haven't received an sms yet so dont know exactly what it does, but I was looking for it for the same reason as you.
Thanks, I've already disabled that. Still can't figure out how to disable the rest of the notifications.
ooh, btw, I've also S2U2 installed, so everytime I receive an sms or notification, I've to unlock the phone first, works like a charm.
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 ...
I use my phone as my alarm clock. I keep it chargeing on my bedside table. I do not have a house/landline so this is my only option for communication.
It would be nice if at night, when I'm sleeping, i can set my phone (via app or setting) to a "do not disturb" type state.
In this state, i would basically like all phone calls routed to a special voice mail, that will state to the caller that i am unavailable, and to leave a message. However if it is an emergency, give the caller an option to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring my phone.
Same with Text Messages. I would like all text messages intercepted, and responded to via text in the same fashion, with the same option for the caller to bypass the do not disturb state and actually ring/notify me of the call/text etc.
And of course, put all other notifications to silent mode etc.
Then in the morning, i can check all notifications, phone, text etc, and see what i missed.
I hope i explained this well enough.
I would like to be able to sleep without interruption, but if something important happens, or an emergency happens, i can still be gotten a hold of.
there is an app called silent time lite that I use, it wont route your calls or anything, but between the times you states the phone will go into silent mode (vibrate or not, you decide) you can also have exceptions like if your mother calls at 3 am or something. Its free in the market, i use this app for school, put my schedule in there and it automatically muted my phone for classes

Hmm, exceptions for contacts eh? Might be the next best thing if i cant find, or someone create an app that'll do the other stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it.
uh... How about... AIRPLANE MODE
I like the stshannon's idea : this kind of "filter" people can "bypass" only for emmergency...I've been loking for that for long time !
@nopenope : the aireplaine mode doesn't allow this kind of redirection I think...
timerriffic is awesome and free. once you've got your profiles all setup you can set what goes off, volume, vibrate etc... I use it to turn off notifications at night but ring my phone at 100% when I'm "on call" for work or 40% when i'm not.
different day settings too, m-f and weekends.
Hello all,
I use Smart connect to put my phone into 'Do not disturb' over night while i sleep. However, since one of the last updates i have noticed that this does not mute notifications, it sort of pauses them until the phone reverts back to normal sounds and then all the notification sounds come through.
I just want to check if this is just me or is anyone seeing this strange behaviour. It didn't used to do that and its a pain when my phone jumps back to normal and i get all sorts of different apps pinging away at the same time.
Cheers
Bump....
Anyone else noticed this?
Yes, the same thing happens on my phone as well. It is to be expected though, or do you want to lose all your notifications?
In case the sounds it makes after dnd is over annoy you, you have to set the notification/call volume before you go enter dnd, as that previous value gets restored in the morning.

Thanks for the reply, good to know its not just me.
The thing is I get up at 04:30, so when my phone comes out of dnd, I sometimes get a dozen notifications just pinging away. The 'correct' way I want it to work is that the notification appears but it just silences the notification not wait until dnd is over to give them all at once. Thanks, I will have a play around with notification sound.
You can adjust the behaviour of DND on quite a granular level. Go to Sounds -> Do not disturb -> Notifications -> Custom and choose "Don't turn on the screen", "Don't blink light", 'Don't wake for notification".
You can also adjust who gets to call you during DND and whether you want Alarms to sound.

I first noticed this only when I was travelling in my car and the phone was connected to bluetooth. I would get random standard notification sounds coming through my car's speakers. I have the settings within the Gmail app set to silent, yet it still pushes this sound notification. I turned notifications off, still sent them. I had to block the app from generating notification totally to prevent this from happening; setting the permissions in the application section for Gmail to silent only did not stop it. This morning, I noticed that the Photos app did the same.
It appears to me that the Google apps on my phone are not obeying their notification rules when the phone is connected to bluetooth. The only remedy I have found thus far is to block all notifications for these apps. Other apps are operating normally. Thoughts?
