This isn't really Raphael specific but I was in a meeting today and got a call and wondered if there was any kind of program to auto-reply a caller with a text saying something like "Meeting" or whatever.
Its halfway there with the send text option on the incoming call screen and would resemble away messages on an instant messenger. If its out there has anyone heard of it? Possible for someone to tackle it and try to develop something? Might be neat
I thought that was already in the dialer? I remember seeing an option in my Fuze (before ROM Flash) about sending a text back to people who called stating you are busy orsomething. I think it was editable so you can have it say what you want.
There are some apps out there though that do just that.

This one is from 2005 but there were some new ones recently. Just can't remember their names.
theres definitely something buried in the settings for this.
i believe i was changing ring tones and noticed it...
it's for when you reject a call it will send a text which you can edit
perhaps:
start > settings > phone > advanced
is what your looking for?
never tried it to see if it actually works tho.
MagiCall from Mobiion does just that.

yep right there theres an option to enable the reply text
But when you press "reply with SMS", it takes you to SMS edit, wher eyou have to press send again. IT's really slow when some's ringing. I would prefer it sent the predefined text directly.
Earlier this week I installed the latest version of Cognition. This was my first time to root the phone and try a new OS. So far it works great, with one small exception. I cannot get the notification sounds to work correctly.
In the main settings menu I can change sounds, but no matter what I change it to, there is no effect. It still plays the same sound when I get an email.
I use k-9 mail, which has no option (that I can find) for notification sound. I did change the sound in the default email just to see if that would work, but it did not.
I changed the sound in the menu for messaging, and that worked for text messages.
Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
K-9 sets the notification sound on a per account basis. When viewing an account's folder list or while viewing a folder's contents tap Menu->More->Settings->Account settings->Notifications.
There is a setting under the global settings to create a 'quiet time' when notifications don't sound.
Ok - Now I feel like a total idiot
Thanks so much. I do appreciate it.

You're not alone. I just found this thread through searching for a solution to the exact same "issue".
Notification sounds set for email, and IM+. but text messages stays default sound no matter how many times its changed. Only have this issue with Cognition 4.1.1. Any ideas how to fix?

Bad flash? I don't have that problem with 4.1.1
Try posting in the Cog sticky in the Q&A subforum.
Hi all, I seem to be unable to get individual text notifications working on my S8+. That is, I go into the contact, I find where it says "Message Tone" and I set the tone I'd like to use. When I go in and look, everything seems to be correct.
Then when a text comes in, the default notification is still used. This is the case when both a tone that I added is used, or a built in tone. I had thought perhaps it was because I was using a 3rd party texting app (Textra, was not a fan of the default Samsung app), but even when I reset to the Samsung messages app, this was still the case (I even tried restarting the phone after setting messages as the default, just to make sure).
Anybody else having this issue? Anybody fix it? I've tried everything I can find, hopefully one of you can point out something obvious that I've missed.
Since the Oreo update I am not able to set a notification tone for messages... I have FDR'd 3 times now... It wasn't working right away... I have done resets with restoring data and NOT restoring any data..... Whether I change it in the messaging app or in the settings drawer it shows it changes but plays the default tone still.... Or sometimes plays nothing.... Any thoughts? I have cleared cache.... To be honest it seems to be doing kind of what it wants as far as tones for messaging.... I am trying to use factory installed tones and also downloaded MP3 tones... It plays the tone just fine as I am trying to select it but doesn't play when a message comes in............
I thought I had the same problem but finally figured it out.
Under the settings/notifications menu in the messaging app, change the tone in the New messages selection.
Edit: for the record, I hate the way notifications work in this new Oreo update. For example, if I have multiple messages that I haven't read, if I exit the app without having read some, the notification goes away entirely.
Plus, the badge notification isn't working on some apps unless I have it set for push notifications, which I don't want.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now... at least that I know of.

You are a life saver!!! I wonder why we can't change it in the Messages app anymore... Thats kind of a big flaw.... Thanks!!!!
Did you read my edit above? Any ideas?
In particular, two apps, Facebook and Words with Friends 2, I could set them (in Nougat) to not allow push notification but a badge would show up on the icon letting me know I had a new item in the app without it going to the top notification bar. I can't get it to do the same now.

In the notifications for those apps under General Notifications maybe try changing the Importance...??? I am not sure but will for sure look into it.....
My only other known issue at this point is even after 4 FDR's Game Launcher is disabled instantly....

I'll keep playing around with the notifications. Maybe I'll figure it out.
Honestly, I disabled game launcher. I don't even know what it's for. Maybe I'll play around with it to see. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I am not super worried.. It looks like it may be turned off by default until you enable it.... I am not that worried.... I am going to work on getting everything setup and play around and see if I can help you out.... I think I know what you are after.... You don't want to be alerted but still want the badge to show up...

I think the issue is the badges are directly tied to the notifications.... So when you clear the notification you clear the badge...

I think this is correct for the most part. Here's what I'm running into now, though. On several apps, including one for work that I need notifications for, the badges aren't even working at all, even with all apps set for all push notifications. For me, the badges are more important on some of my apps than the notifications on the bar at the top.
I hate this. Why would they change something like this? This all worked fine in Nougat.
I purchased Nova launcher prime a while back. Looks like it's time to go try that one again.
I'm having the same trouble. I have Push notifications turned on, but Facebook, Words with Friends, and the native email app won't show badge notifications.
Email shows an old number in the badge when, right after rebooting, it shows the notifications.
I'm not enjoying this update.
I would like to set different notification ringtones for gmail and sms. However, I cannot figure it out on P20. Any ideas? Thx.
You can set the individual ringtones in the settings of Gmail, Messages etc.

Ok cool, explain !?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
For example, in Messages, click the menu button (top right), then select Settings -> Notifications -> Sound. Select the sound you like.
In Gmail: click the hamburger menu (top left), then scroll all the way down and select Settings. Select your account, then click Manage Notifications. Click on Mail -> Sound. Then select the sound.
Well it's not possible on the P20 Pro
I've looked everywhere how to set different tones for SMSes, Calendar events et emails et it's just impossible. I can't understand why Huawei would block that. It's so basic. Same thing with Gmail lables: impossible to set a specific tone per label. Why?!
same on P20, it just vibrates...what the heck
I replaced the SMS app with another one that allowes to change the tone (truecallers). For the calendar I use the Huawei app for the notifications only. Now for Gmail, I haven't found the way to set a particular tone for a specific label (which I could do on my previous phone).
And I have a problem with Airbnb that doesn't allow to change the notifications tone; my P20 Pro set it to "default" which is most inconvenient.
Same issue here, it seems that Huawei removed the option to choose a specific notification sound in notification management. I can't seem to understand the reasoning behind such a decision... Hopefully they will fix that in a future update
Can't change ringtone....
Wait--- they produced the fanciest camera-phone ever, costs a ferking THOUSAND dollars, and you can't change the sound that incoming gmails / SMS's make??? (On my new P20 Pro this appears to be the case)
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
That's exactly it! It seems unbelievable. Worse... You cannot get rid of the Huawei calendar, therefore when you have Google calendar AND Huawei calendar running at the same time and that you want to add an event with the voice assistant, at the end, you have to manually tap on the calendar you want to enter the event in! No way to complete the task totally handsfree. I'm so not buying another Huawei phone the next time (even though the camera is great).
I'm really disappointed by this too, this is a huge problem! Android has had this ability for years, it makes no sense to take it away.
Same issue hete

Have you found a solution for this? I have the same problem... Cannot change messages notification tone. But I am surprised that the internet is not blown up with this error. Might work for some???
I think I've found a good solution! The AutoNotification app lets you set the sound for any of an apps Notification Categories! I haven't completely tested it yet but so far it seems to be doing what I need.

Hi, have you got this sorted yet?
I have not long had my P20 Pro and have also found it frustrating but I have sat and played around with it and found the solution, albeit it a bit of a hassle to do!
Apologies for no doubt going over old ground here, but I need to work on the assumption that there maybe others, slightly less experienced, that may also be trying to work this out.
Ringtone first! Use a computer and Windows Media Player, to first get your desired tunes/tones onto. (Rip into Media Player using MP3 from the settings tab).
Next, unlock your P20 Pro and connect to your computer using the supplied USB cable, once connected, swipe the screen down and select the “MTP” option (file transfer). Your P20 Pro will then be recognised by your computer and will quickly show up in Media Player on the right hand side.
It’s then just a matter of dragging and dropping any content from the left side of the Media Player window into this area on the right. Once done, be sure to click “sync” above your devices name.
Then disconnect your P20 Pro from the computer, go to “Settings”, then “Sounds”, scroll up until you see “Phone ringtone”, click this, next select “Music (on storage)” at the top right, choose your desired tune by popping a dot in the adjoining circle and finally click on the tick, top right corner, to apply. Done!
Next, Email notification sounds.
I have my home screen setup so that once unlocked, I can see the “@“ icon (with Email written underneath it) in the middle bottom section of the screen, but it is this icon you will need to use, if it’s not where mine is!
Although this may seem very odd, I can assure you that it works.
You MUST use this icon “@“ to setup your email account(s) in order to then be able to set different tunes/tones for each of them.
The first time you hit the “@“ icon you will be prompted to select what type of mail account you are using etc, follow all relevant onscreen prompts to get setup.
Whichever mail account you add first will become the default sender for emails, this can only be changed once you have added an additional email account.
Once your account(s) have been successfully setup, exit back to the home screen, only so that we are starting from the same point!
Select the “@“ icon, the default sending account opens first, next, click the three dots at the bottom right labelled “More”, then select “Settings”, look under the section “ACCOUNTS” and select which account you wish to deal with, next, scroll the screen up until you see the section “NOTIFICATION SETTINGS”, from here select “Choose ringtone”, and finally, select “Music (on storage)” to find the tunes/tones that you previously added using Windows Media Player, place a dot in the corresponding circle, click the tick to the the top right of the screen to apply your selection. This technique can now be used for all other email accounts, to give you separate tunes/tones for each email account.
You can, of course, also use a third party app, such as “Zedge Ringtones” and once you have selected and downloaded your chosen tone, it will appear under your phones settings/sounds/phone ringtone or default notification sound/Sound
Hope this helps, my P20 Pro is now finally personalised to my own liking!
I think I have worked it out.
Click on setting then click on general settings.
Then click on manage notification
Under you email address you will see - Email normal: allow these notifications. Click on the writing and not on the blue slide at the end.
Under notification category a little way down you will see sound. Change your notification

Traded up from Honor 8 where I was happy as a clam regarding the notification options. I had them all just right: different ringtone for each SIM, separate notifications for my email accounts and, most importantly, different tones for SMS on each of my SIMs, plus the general notification tone for everything else. Now here I am, holding my Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS and all I get is ONE notification tone for my SMS and any other notifications.
Seriously?!

Maybe someone has found the solution? I can’t believe P20 can’t set different tone for notifications and mail. It has tons of unuseful settings, but this one was essentiall! If I knew this before, I would never ever bye Huawei P20!! It’s a disaster! (
Unfortunatelly you can't.
I try all the methods above and none works.
sad but true...
Huawei is going down because of the poor software development.
