Hey,
Is there any way to keep my screen from coming on when I receive an incoming call? I've tried disabling lock screen notifications and that doesn't help. The attached screenshot shows options to disable certain notifications but they're greyed out and I can't adjust them. Is there a way to unlock them?
Thanks
I believe this can only be done via the "Do not disturb" function. There you have an option to select "No visuals", which is exactly what you want.
Go to "Settings" / "Sound" / "Do not disturb" / "Notifications" and select "No visuals or sound from notifications" (or try the "Custom" option). Obviously, you will need to enable the "Do not disturb" mode in order for this to take effect.

Warning: the "Do not disturb" option also allows you to silence alarms. If you need an alarm to wake you in the morning, be very careful how you configure this option!

Is it possible to set the alerts or reminders in jam with any notification sound / ringtone or vibration? I tried to set the reminders but it only displays the upcoming appointments but never gives any alert or reminder.
How can I set any notification sound or ringtone with the reminder / alert?
Thanks.
I think this should be in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
If it's not there, I use alarmtoday to allow all of this to be customised.

You can also use PhoneAlarm from the same developer (www.pocketmax.net) for similar audible repeating alerts for phone functions (voice mail, missed call, sms, e-mail)

Yes you can. You should find it in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
Ringtones usually go in the 'windows\rings' directory and any other alarms etc go directly into the 'windows' directory.
Then go to START, SETTINGS, SOUNDS & NOTIFICATIONS, make sure the the first three tick boxes are enabled, then select the NOTIFICATIONS tab at the bottom. In the event box, select REMINDERS. Make sure the PLAY SOUND box is ticked. You can then select the alarm you wish from the list (under reminders).
Under ring type I do not see "Vibrate and Ring". Is this for real? Any fix?
Hi, juiceppc!
You can go to Settings > Sounds & Notifications, then to de 2nd tab.
In "Event" select "Phone Known Caller" and mark the both box: "vibrate when ringer switch off" & "vibrate when ringer switch on"
Do the same selecting "Phone Unknown Caller", if you want too.
Hope this helps!
Yes thank you! I should have looked at that.
My ringer is usually off and I can't keep looking at my screen (e.g., for NoLED) when I'm with patients. I've been unable to get vibration notifications of incoming text messages, although as far as I can tell I've selected everything to do with vibration in Settings.
Surely there's a way to get this that I'm missing.
in the sound settings, select vibrate and choose an option like vibrate only in silent mode or always. in the messages app, choose settings and select vibrate. choose vibrate only in silent mode or always

Right. I've done that (Vibrate Always in both Settings and Messaging), yet it doesn't vibrate for anything except calls.
be certain that notifications are enabled in the messaging app.
there was a similar problem on a couple htc phones i had. i used a program from the market called 'sound manager', i believe it was. then i set everything the way i wanted it, did a test and vibrate worked. then when i deleted the sound manager app the settings stuck and my messages still alerted via vibration. good luck.
I'm starting to think this might be a Gingerbread bug, man, cuz I don't get vibrations on text either
I used to think it was CM7 but I have the same problem on stock.
Hey! I am at a loss.
I am trying to mute my notifications and calls. But, I want them to come in (so I can read them, when I turn on the screen).
Bottom line: I want to read incoming messages in a room, where notifications (sound or vibrate) would be a disturbance, and I wanna see who calls, in case it's important.
Additionally, I don't want to shut off alarms (set with the stock clock app).
Currently I archieve the goal by pressing 'volume down' --> select 'NONE'.
Sadly, that setting doesn't allow alarms.
When I use 'volume down' --> 'IMPORTANT', as soon as I turn on the screen, the phone beeps when a message arrives (in settings, all important disturbances are switched off).
So as I see it, 'IMPORTANT' only shuts off the alarm sound as long as the phone's screen is off.
Please help. It's pretty much a simple search for the equivilant setting in Android 5 for the 4.4-silent-mode. :fingers-crossed:
[EDIT: Sorry for some incorrect translations. 'IMPORTANT' is actually called 'PRIORITY'. There might be others ]
Step 1: Make sure you have no starred contacts. If you don't know what this means, you should be fine you can ignore this.
Step 2: Go to Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Interruptions -> Change Calls/ messages from to "Starred contacts only".
Step 3: Press the volume up/down button once. Then do this:
Do you think 3rd party applications will be able to use this functionality? I.e WhatsApp etc?

I really hope custom Roms will include this again!
Maybe this will help you

Thank you very much. That does in deed work (couldn't make it work for TEXTRA, but for Google Messenger as standard texting app that solution actually helps).
[With TEXTRA right now I have to toggle to vibrate, and then as well set notifications to 'PRIORITY'.]
Sometimes, during the day, I set my Phone with Android 7.1.1 to Do Not Disturb mode. However there are some notifications that I don't wanna miss, and I mean that I also want to hear the notification or alarm sound.
So I went into Settings > Applications and for my important apps (Reminder [1] and Whatsapp) I went in notification settings and I enable "override do not disturb" for both apps; furthermore I disabled these apps from battery optimization.
Well: despite the fact that I set these apps to "override do not disturb", when these apps receive/display a notification with a certain sound when DND is active, I only can see them with the LED and I can't hear any sound (but the notification is however displayed also on the lock screen).
So is a matter of no sound played. All is ok when DND is not active.
I miss something or is a know bug?

Sorry for the noise: I reply to myself, since I found the solution (imho very hidden).
On the DND icon in the bar menu i double clicked and some options appeared: I choosed "Priority only", so the apps which are set to "override do not disturb" now are able to play a sound when the phone is set to DND.
I hope that this solution could be useful to someone.
