Can anyone else confirm that iussue? Are you able to silence the notifications...without they "come back" to be active by theirself? Is very annoying...
Even if i set on oreo app notification "low"....when a i receive a message it turn on automatically on "urgent" again...
I found a trick by myself. The problem is that the notification channel on android oreo reguarding an application "prevails" on the settings within the application itself, in this case whatsapp. If we want, as in my case, to receive notifications of a new message only in the notification bar (without pop-up on the screen) and without sound, it will not be enough to adjust the settings only within the application, but we will have to do it in the new "notification channels" introduced with oreo. However, there is one however, if we set the notification when a new message arrives on "low" (without sound and without visual interruption) at the next message, Oreo will change "by itself" this setting on high , with sound and pop-up screen. Even within the application itself the settings will be changed with the sound on, while those regarding the pop-up notification will remain the same, although the pop-up will be displayed theanyway. The only way to prevent Oreo from overwriting and shaking our settings is this: 1) Adjust the desired settings within the application (no sound, vibration on, NO pop-up) then go to the notification channel of whatsapp and set the importance of the message received on "high", then click on it and change the ringtone to "none". In this way we will to not receive the pop-up on screen notification and settings will be respected. It seems to work, although this morning the urgency of the notification was back on "urgent". Again changed, and seems to be back to normal now. Let me know your experience about that.

I have noticed this bug on my Atom with O2 Plus and need confirmation from other users before I try to feedback to their support.
I have found that my Atom intermittently does not sound Notifications and Alarms. Couldn't figure why for awhile then I discovered this workaround :
1.
Using O2 Plus, switch profile to Silent. You will notice speaker icon on the top bar shows muted.
2.
Switch profile back to Normal. The icon at the top bar now shows the speaker as ON (but actually notifications and remoinders will now fail i.e. not sounding)
3.
Go to Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications
On the Event drop down, select reminders
4.
You will see your notification alarm sound with a "test play" button.
Hit the test play button a couple of times, then wait a few seconds.
5.
You will mysteriously see the speaker status in the top bar change to MUTE !!! Click on it, turn speaker back on, close all the windows. Your notifications will now sound correctly at the appointed alarms and calendar times.
It seems the O2 Plus profile when switching back from silent to normal does not do a full job in turning on the notification sounds, just system sound or something like that.
If you carry out this procedure everytime you switch your profile you will no longer have missing / silent notifications !
Can other users confirm this bug / phenomenon ?
Anyone able to write a simple proggy or script to do the above procedure automatically ?
Haven't noticed it before, and I haven't missed any notifications, but you're right.
yeah i noticed this!!!THANKS FOR THE FIX!
just to add.besides notifications, you also lose screen taps when switching from different profiles.this apparently is not fixed by your solution.
I posted yesterday about the facebook app being unable to retain any notification sound I've set for it once the app has been stopped. Well, there is another issue on the same phone. It may be related - I'm not sure. This OS is Android 7.0 (Nougat). The symptoms are below.
Two-symptom issue:
1) The 'call end tone' (which sounds like a pingy "bloop") cannot be disabled. The toggle slider can be turned off at Dialer > Settings > Call Alerts > Call end tone, but the tone still fires after each call disconnect.
2) The 'call end tone' not only fires after every phone call disconnect. But strangely, it also fires after any notification sound from another app has fired. For example, when Tapatalk or Facebook fire off a new message alert notification sound, the call end tone fires immediately afterwards. I also notice that each time the call end tone fires, a slash mark momentarily appears through the speaker icon on the notification strip.
I've tried wiping the cache partition and, as mentioned, toggling off all call alert settings. But none of that has worked. And by the way, this is the installation of Nougat that was on my S7 edge when I received it back from Samsung's repair center a few weeks ago. I'm hoping to avoid doing a factory reset. It looks like that may be the next step, though. Any thoughts?
Okay, I was wrong. It's not the 'call end tone' that I'm hearing at all. Instead, it's the same sound that fires when you change from silent or vibrate mode to audible mode. That little "bloop" is what's firing after every notification sound. I've checked and it's the following file: /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Silent_mode_off.ogg ... I'm not rooted so I can't remove or rename it.
So that's why the 'call end tone' toggle slider under Call Alerts has no effect on the little "bloop" sound. I only thought it was the 'call end tone' because it always fires when a call disconnects. But it's apparently just doing the same thing it does when each notification sound fires. Whatever the root cause, upon each sound event it seems to send a signal to briefly mute the speaker (hence the slash mark across the speaker icon for a split-second) and then immediately un-mutes it again. But I have no clue why. I thought it might have something to do with SoundAssistant -which I installed several days ago- but uninstalling it makes no difference. So I'm stumped.
I'm open for any ideas. The 'bloop' after every notification sound and call disconnect is driving me nuts. I'll probably do a factory reset if no one can think of anything else.
I've identified the cause. It's an app that normalizes the ringtone level, called 'Disable Increasing Ring.' When I toggle off its normalization mode, the problem is gone. The reason I even installed the app is because of the forced ascending ring volume for incoming calls that's imposed by Android 7.0. In my view, there's simply no excuse for Google/Samsung not to provide users an option of whether or not they want ringtone streams to ascend from weak to a normal volume level. Forcing that sort of thing upon everyone seems ridiculous. And of course it caused this headache for me. But it's their system... so oh well.
Hello all,
I would like to report a bug with whatsapp notifications since Whatsapp added notifications channels support.
Something is overriding my settings for the notifications, I don't like pop-ups notifications or vibration/sound notifications, so I always disable them, however, after i set the importance for whatsapp notifications to "Low" the next notification will vibrate and pop-up, once I enter the setting again, they will show "urgent" importance, so I don't know what is changing the settings.
A really annoying bug since I can't disable the vibration for every message.
I am facing the same issues. Samsung Galaxy S9. Have you found a solution?
Just saw this in another thread! Works fine! Just set it tô "high" and then change The sound tô "none"
"WORKAROUND!!
Somebody from What's App finally told me no android notification profiles are supported other than High or Urgent.
So what you do is set it to High then modify the settings under that profile and the preferences within WA.
Working fine for me now!"
I can't seem to get the 'long' vibration setting on Telegram working despite having the notifications set to 'urgent' in the system notification settings as well as vibration being turned on both in the app and the system notification settings.
It also seems that Oreo notifications are buggy in general - notifications that i've already read/dismissed still show up in the status bar from time to time, and the 'urgent' setting sometimes automatically changes in other apps such as Whatsapp. It seems the notification LED is also inconsistent - sometimes indicates that a notification has been received even when the screen is on.
Is anyone else running into similar issues?
I have not seen this particular issue, but I have noticed that I can no longer set individual app sound notification. I have a different Text notification and a different Hangouts notification but ALL notifications use the default system notification sound.
Edit:
Looks like there is 2 notification settings in the messenger app, one is for general notifications, the other is for new notifications. I only set the general notifications, after setting the new notifications sound, all is good. This is a really stupid design.

Couldn't agree more about the design- I also get notification channels for individual people even though I have not pinned them, and those channels do not follow the general notification settings either
Same issue.
Both my alarm clock tone and any changes to the default sounds in apps are ignored. They all keep on using the default sound. Annoying for one particular app I use for health is full on like someone dropping a garbage can and by default full blast. It comes on at night regularly and there's a world of difference between being woken up gently and thinking there's a home intruder. Any advice?
I have searched on the site and don't find this issue. Despite everything I have tried, I cannot change the from the soft, default Google Messages notification sound. I have even tried changing individual sounds on a person by person basis and that doesn't work. I have gone into sounds and notifications in settings, also tried by going into the Messages app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Easy way just get Zedge and add new sound through that

I can change the system default with no problem but the default per contact is a fail, so I feel you. Same with other alerts, like my Google Cameras. Wil lNOT set a different alert sound than the system default

I can't even get the default to change. I have tried everything I can think of. Sounds and notifications, in the app itself, just can't figure it out and this is my 4th Pixel.
There are two locations for "setting" notification sounds for Google Messages as well as "default notification sound" UNDER "Sound and Vibration"!
Now if both of these are set to the same thing then everything will work OK. However, if the default location is set to one sound and the app setting is something else...then it's a toss up as to which will take precedence.
So here is my suggestion for two possible solutions.
Under settings>Sound and vibration>Default notification sound>My Sounds and select NONE. Now you can go to the messages app itself and tap on your avatar in the top right>Messages settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Sound and choose whatever sound you want. This will give you the sound you want for any messages you receive in the messages app. However, this will leave any other type of notifications such as a calendar reminder with NO sound (unless you assign one specifically to the calendar in the same relative manner as you just did with messages. I chose the calendar as an example because once you dig in and find the notification sound set for your calendar it is probably set to "Default notification sound" which you just set to NONE.
The second possible solution is to change the default notification sound to what you want and the messages app to the same sound. This will ALSO make all the other notification type sounds the same as in the previous calendar example.
Now you can always set the calendar to some thing different and it MIGHT work as you set it despite the default being set to something specific and it might not.
So of the two methods I have suggested the one that should work the best is to set the default notification sound to NONE and then go into each individual app that may give off a notification sound and give each one what you want. I hope this helps!
I am able to change my default sound to a different per app basis by going to profile picture and then clicking on message settings and select notifications then selecting behavior sound and more and from there select incoming messages then choose your sound for your messages. This is how google messages does it

Thank you for the detailed write up. I tried both solutions but still nothing. I even took this one step further and tried to sync the two with the ring sound so all three would be identical. However I can't do that because none of the tones in the ring match notifications or message sounds. I don't know what the glitch in my matrix is, but this is frustrating as heck. This isn't my first rodeo, and I refuse to believe I have some special P7P that prevents message notification modifications.

Can you share a screenshot of the "Behavior Sound" screen? I don't see that as an option on my P7P. Thank you for the response.
Here you go
Oh I forgot 1
I'm sorry I put it kinda step by step I just put it the way I would like to see it
Please let me know if I can be a further help to you
I also do not have a setting called "behavior sound"?
I wonder if it appears due to a particular setting or because of the model number of your P7P?
Here is a YouTube video telling you how

It is so weird, after playing with settings for days, yesterday I started hearing my phone doing the notification for when out Ring cameras detect movement. Since I don't always check the video right away, it took until this morning to understand now my message notifications have started using same ring tone. What is weird is I set that tone during the time of this conversation. Huh...
