Notification tone for messages.... NOT INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] Can not delete notifications

My SW2 has a bad behavior that after a few notifications even if I try to remove all notifications it lost something and does not delete.
I´d like to know if someone already fix it or have a workaround since it´s making me nuts.
I already tested all kind of apps and now i´m using watchit!. It appears to be a lost of pointer in internal DB just a guess.
thanks

I have the same problem. Really annoying. Were you ever able to find a solution. I hate having to do a reset on the watch to clear the notifications.
Works OK for me. Just swipe notification "bar" down,press menu button and then press X
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
In fact you just stop to show them. If you go to an application like Watchit you will see several notifications and you can't delete all only resetting the watching. Funny part is that is not boring more people over here...
I already test several notifications app. The same for all. The problem is with SO. I´m waiting Huawei Watch launch and I´ll be moving to Android Wear.
There are steps to clear all notifications on your SW2:
swipe notification topbar down
click menu button
click "x" button

Disable Google Now card notification?

Anyone know where to disable these notifications?
I would still like to see the cards in Google now.. But I don't want these notifications.. Never had them appear before...
Thanks guys!
Sent from my SM-G920F
I would also like to know this. I've had the card notifications disabled for months and just this past week they've been showing up. The option for notifications is still disabled in settings.
I don't want to have to block notifications from the whole app because that would block reminders too right?
This must have to do with an update from Google.
I'm experiencing this as well - seems like it just started a week ago when there was an update. It's extremely frustrating not to be able to disable the notifications of spam (stories, articles, recipes, totally random stuff) and leave things like reminders and whatnot. **sigh** Google why did you do this to me? I really do not need a notification that there is a Chipotle three miles away from me.

Really? Chipotle is the best!
But seriously....These notifications are annoying .. can't find where to disable...

I'm also getting annoyed by these notifications. I guess we don't have a way to shut them off yet?
Go to...Google now> settings> now cards> show notifications! Turn it off, still will get cards in Google now.

Me too -- the first thing I did was check the notification settings for Google Now via Google Settings. I've even tried turning notifications on and then turning them back off. But they keep showing up. Maybe it's a bug and not an intentional feature.
Maybe it's buggy Google since they seemed to have messed up ok Google. I don't get any notifications with that setting off, tried on two phones.

Me three. Ugh!
Don't you hate when the functionality of something changes and they don't default it to the setup that you had before the change?
Surely, when this was released they should give you the option of enabling or staying with what you had?
Of course, that would be the professional way of doing things, sad that it doesn't exist at Google.

Personalized notifications for contacts not working...

I posted this in the AT&T S8+ Forum, figured i'd post in here too, might get faster help. I did do a couple searches before posting, but if someone has already addressed this I apologize.
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.

No issues here, after setting the message tone you want are you tapping save in the upper right of the screen?

I am. I've attached a screenshot for a contact I'm using as a test (my GVoice number). It LOOKS like it's set up correctly (at least to me) just not working correctly. Personalized Ring Tones seem to work, but not text notifications.
The phone is doing a couple other quirky things. I'm wondering if it might be time to just say "F it" and do a hard reset.

Here are the screens I get when changing a ringtone or messaging tone. Didn't get the screenshot low enough for messaging tone, it's right below ring tone.

Yeah, I don't think I'm doing anything differently. Weird that ring tones work but not text messages. I had a couple different contact managers installed (don't really like the Samsung one) and thought maybe they were causing the issue, so uninstalled them and rebooted. Still no go.
I do like the look of the dark theme for the contacts app though, definitely gonna change it to that!
I also use Textra on my S8+, as I don't like the default one, and you set the personalized tones in Textra not contacts.
In Textra, go to one of the texts from someone that you want to customize and long press it, then go the three dot menu in the upper right corner and select customize. Then select Notifications, then notification sound and pick the one that you want.
Works perfectly...

:victory: The files are IN the computer!! It's so obvious!! Thanks so much, this has been driving me nuts.
Still a little weird it wouldn't work when I reset the phone to the Samsung app, but now I don't care because this works!! Thank you so much.

Weird gmail notifications returning after being dismissed issue.

I'm getting this weird issue where when I dismiss notifications from gmail, they will immediately come back and then dismiss themselves again one by one.
Easier to show than to explain, so here's a video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PnGCYlIdcX5ua4Ji2
It's really annoying, especially since the notifications are also sent to my gear S2 watch which then just buzzes like crazy as my phone is cycling through all the notifications.
I've used all the google-fu I know and came up with pretty much nothing, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure this out.
Potentially related: I get notifications for new e-mails pretty much as soon as they come in, but if I go to gmail on my computer and read or delete that e-mail, the notification won't update. It definitely used to, and I'm not really sure when that changed.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
I'm unable to play the video to see the notification . . . my internet is terrible right now. Perhaps you could just put up a single photo of the notification, or enter the text into your original post?
Check your setting for "Notification Reminders" under the Accessibility tab & find what you may have unknowingly switched on.
Happened to me once, I know how annoying it can be lol.
Hope this helps!
I get the same thing. Seems to be nothing to do to stop it however you may be able to reduce it to one notification in the gmail app settings just go to the app settings tap your email then about halfway down tap inbox, sound and vibrate and make sure notify for every msg is unchecked. Hope this helps.
I appreciate all the suggestions, unfortunately none of them seem to be the solution for me ...
JeffDC - A photo won't show anything, it will either show notifications there, or not, while the issue is when I dismiss a notification, it then comes back again after ~1 sec as another notification, then dismisses again after another couple of seconds, instead of properly dismissing the first time around.
og21 - Notification reminders were already off in accessibility settings.
wombat_combat - Notify for every message is already unchecked.
I get the same, haven't found a fix, but haven't looked hard either.
I suppose theirs still no solution? Been happening to me for months.
Same thing here. Haven't been able to find a solution. Galaxy S10 and only happens for my work email inside the secure folder.
Tagging this one again since it appeared on my google search.
On my previous Galaxy S8+ when I dismissed the notifications (notification shade) occasional a gmail notification (one just dismissed) would pop back up then immediately dismiss itself.
On my new S20 FE when I dismiss the notifications occasionally a gmail notification (one just dismissed) pops back up as if it was a new notification and stays there until dismissed again.
This happens when I clear it from the notifications and as soon as I swipe up the Gmail notification shows again. It's been happening for a while and I don't know how to tell them to fix it.
2021, this is still happening to me all the time. Gmail notifications come back to haunt me after clearing them. Sometimes they disappear after a few seconds, sometimes I have to dismiss them again.
Pixel 5.
I do have a suspicion it might be caused by Samsung Wear, maybe I'll remove notification access from it to see...
Update: ^ didn't work -.-
Same here. Stock Pixel 4a. Only one Google Account set up (which is a quite old Google Apps account).
Edit: The issue was also present on my former mobile, a Nokia 6.1, also running Stock firmware.
I'll bump this, too - same issue for months, Gmail notification pops (w/audio) immediately after I dismiss it. Have also tried all the "Google-fu" I know.
Pixel 4 XL - A11, stock and updated.
November 2021.
Still the same..
This is getting annoying AF.
Android should be better than IOS because it let the users control everything.
But what is with this crap.
I could not find any solution to let the notification notify ONLY when something new comes....
But I haven't tried hard either...
Anyone got any solution on this?
Go to your Gmail settings. General settings. Click on account. Scroll down to "nudges". Turn off. Repeat for each account.

Messenger sound notification keeps resetting when I disable it

When I disable sound notification for messenger ( set it for none in OxygenOS notification settings), it keeps reseting every time I receive a message. Its annoying because I want to have ringtone enabled and other notifications enabled but I dont want any sound from messenger. How Can I fix that? I also tried to download a few seconds no sound file and set it as a notification, but it still resets.
Strange... Have you tried choose None shown in the photo for all types of notifications in Messenger?
Otherwise i guess you could change the priority of the notifications from Messenger from "important" to "other"...
I had the same problem and I found out thats a common problem on OOS since years. The only working solution is setting the prority to other.

I tried everything , I set it to "none" and It keeps restarting when im getting message, and I hear the notification.
I can't see how this is an OP problem. I just go into the Messenger settings, not the OP settings, and and set the notofication options for Messenger to what I want them to be and that's it, no problem on my OP8 (EU).

Notification settings are integrated in android 10/11 hence leading you to the OP settings. Maybe the OP can try uninstall messenger and re-install... I think i came accross a similar problem before

My friends have xiaomi,samsung, Motorola and they dont have problem like that. You can find similar threads on oneplus forum, reddit or facebook groups. I can change notification sound for any stock sound and system saves that, but when I choose "none" it is just resetting and Im getting sound notification when someone send me message or If I close app. The problem is also when I download and set my own notification sound. Previously I had 10.5.10.IN21BA and after turning off the sound for the messenger, there was no sound for 1 hour or 3 hours and suddenly after some time the notification sound turned on again.

Sorry I forgot to mention you also have to set every notification type "Minimize" to off, then it would be OK.
