Persistent notification tone - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

Hello,
Since Android Pie update, my U12+ plays a tone (a short chord) on every notification I get.
I'd like to have only screen notifications not audio but it seems I can't disable that feature.
I tried in system settings and for each app, no way: the sound remains for Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail ecc.
Any suggestion?

Hi Milan!
I've just tried your app and it's perfect for me (i9070 running CM10.2).
I tried many apps (on android < 4.3) for missed sms (Missed calls message flasher, SMS Popup...), but yours is running best.
I'm not using all the options, just a popup (sms+calls) + reminder.
Great job!
Link please

I've noticed 2 minor issues, but they could be rom-specific (CM10.2)...
1. When a msg arrives while the phone is locked, a default notification message is heard but not the whole 2 seconds (it's the duration of the sound itself), approx the last second of it. Every next reminder sound with the same tone is heard ok.
2. When I activate popup screen and new msg arrives, if I reply through popup actions everything is OK, except - this sent msg is not in my default mesagging app.
Great work!

Hi,
1. It's strange, it must play whole sound.
2. Sent messages are saved in default android database (content://sms), it's must be some different things in your phone

Hello Milan
Smart Notify Unlock does not work when I move it into system/app. What can I do?
I just want to report that your app works great in cm11 on moto g.
Could you please add more timing details for reminder. Not to be 1 minute, but 15 seconds in the first 1 min, then 60 sec in the first 15 min, then 300 sec in 60 minites... or to be configurabile?

Silent mode in Lollipop?

Hey all,
So I've been running Lollipop for a few days now and till now I haven't find the silent mode. So even without vibration for calls.
Right now I have two choices:
1. Completly silent. But this will also silence my alarm which I don't want.
2. Let it vibrate. Which I don't want for phone calls.
I want my phone to be silenced but the alarm excluded.
Normally users could hit the volume down key one more time and put their smartphone into silent mode where it won’t even vibrate.
I've been searching for days for this simple option. Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Priority Mode.
Under "Interruptions" turn off everything and the only thing that will make a sound when the phone is in Priority Mode is the Alarm.

And the low battery sound and the charging sound and a few other system sounds. Priority mode is a poor substitution for a real silent mode.
I can't believe Google took silent mode out.
What the F were they thinking?

Also Viber,Whatsapp etc. will ignore it. Poor feature do far.

Set volume to 1 (Just before vibrate mode). Sit and reboot phone. You will now be in silent mode.
It's messed up for sure. I had it set to "priority" with everything unchecked so just my alarm would come through but some dumb Facebook notification woke me up in the middle of the night. Wasn't amused.
The only way to silent the phone except for alarms is to put it in airplane mode? Ridiculous.
Looking forward to some custom ROMs to fix up this mess.
This is my main reason for not updating to 5.0 so far... All I want is to be able to set the phone to totally silent, but still have the LED light for notifications without having to download something like LightFlow to do it. I like having nothing make noise/vibrate, but still have the LED blink when something comes in.

Hi guys!
I too have the same problem and no app helped me... so I searched far and wide and I finally found a simple trick With my knowledge I have created an app:
Silent Mode Lollipop (search for it.merkcoolapp.silentmodelollipopfree in the Google Play Store to find it)
It only does one thing: switch from normal mode to silent mode, on any version of Android (of course, including Lollipop).
Remember, it's the 1.0 version
I hope it helps!

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you
There is an app called True Silent Mode which supposedly adds back silence like we are all used to. Alternatively you can try a different ROM. CM12 has the usual "silent but with alarms on" mode.

Notification sound in vibrate/silent mode

Hey guys, I got Galaxy 7 SM-G930F.
There's a problem, I'm getting sound notifications even though I'm on silent or vibrate mode randomly.
Happens to someone else? any suggestions?

LED notifications after Nougat 7.0 update

After this update my led notifications stopped working.
Only fixed whatsapp notifications by turning it OFF and then ON in the application, but the groups notification LED doesn't work if the group was silenced (leaving the notification box checked). Then, if I disable the silence, LED for groups works again. But I only want LED for groups, I don't want sound.
I try to turn off all apps notifications and the turn ON in android settings but nothing.
Also disable notification LED in android settings and still the same.
My compilation is:
NRD90M.G30FXXU1DQAS
Everything works fine, but I hate the new notifications system on Nougat.
Any with the same problems?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Would like to see solution to this, my friend is also experiencing this

It seems that the led depends on the sound notifications.

and put it in notifikation sound under storage/emulated/0/notifikation and set that sound in gmail app and the blue led will work again with no sound

As long as sound is on then you will get the LED notification light. If the phone is in vibrate or silent, you wont.

LED notification will work as long as the sound is turned on. If the phone is in vibrate or silent you wont get the LED notification. Stupid, I know.
This is not exactly true. I have my phone in silent mode and vibrate mode and the led indicators works just fine. But my girlfriends phone the led won't work at all except with sound on.
I join the discussion because I get the same problem, bu I'm using Go SMS pro. Missed calls worked fine, but in go sms, just the screen goes on and no LED in slience or sound mode ...
Wath to do ? I tried to place my notification sound into notifications folder, but without more success.
[EDIT] Flashed the lastest BL and CP and the v2.4.1 and everything (I only tested GO sms) seems to work !
[EDIT 2] LED does not work when sound off
same here
just updated my Samsung Note 5 to nougat and the LED notification do not work when the phone is set to vibrate only or silent... the led notifications only work when sound it on.
I have the same issue. I hope Samsung fixes this issue soon and also bring Adoptive Storage Back!!
I'm also having the same issue. Only with go sms pro so far and only when phone is on silent. Wondering if this is a nougat issue or if it's go sms pro...
Tried everything with the settings, it's on DND with sound on, had messages and whatsapp on "priority notification" ON but on "show silently" so I could still get the LED indicator, it worked very rarely on MESSAGES but never on Whatsapp. Tried clear partition, tried rebooting, tried clearing cache on the 2 apps, to no avail.
Finally, to get it DND with LED indicator on, it's not the best since I wanted the option to have sound ON for texts and whatsapp when DND is off.. but clearly that won't work.. is I have:
- LED indicator on
- DND on
- Messages and Whatsapp on PRIORITY notifications
- APP settings: sound is on SILENT & vibration is off for both
This fixes it for *some of the notifications* not even all the time as a perma-fix. This is very frustrating, as much as my One Plus X lacked in camera settings and such, this function and DND worked so seamlessly at the press of a button, literally the side button.
Smart phones have become so complex god knows what is overriding what so things are not working the way they are supposed to. This will have to do until it's fixed if ever :\ and I don't feel like downloading a 3rd party software that will collect more data and possibly cause more issues for this one small thing. Ugh.
I'm hoping the next update will solve this annoyance.. and that this will be a proper fix for now.
yes iam experience same thing on my galaxy s7 930f exynos iam using whatsapp and have sound notification off and no vibrations iether and there is no LeD on my phone only if i turn on sound but the thing is i dont want sound in group chats in whatsapp that can be to annoying but i only want led

App Bug Do not disturb not respected by XDA APP

hey everyone,
I noticed a very annoying bug in the new XDA App. If I´m currently using the XDA App, having them as the app that´s currently displayed on top, freshly arriving notifications produce a sound despite DND mode set.
This does not happen when the app is not in foreground.
I tried specific no sound and no vibration for XDA when long pressing an XDA notificatin in the notification bar, but this doesn´t change the issue.
This seems to happen on all my devices. A pixel 4 xl when it was still running A11, now on my pixel 4 xl when it´s running A12.
It has happened on a zenfone 7 pro as well.
Basically I can´t use the XDA app when my device should absolutely stay silent at the moment.

Interesting ... I have mine set to vibrations only (no sounds in Android settings). And this seems to work for me.
I can feel the vibration but do not hear a sound when new notifications are arriving - even if I am in the xda app (in foreground).
But I will check again.
On my system (SM-G973F, stock Samsung Android 11 with OneUI 3.1) I hear no notification sound when I disable sounds (i.e. set to vibration only) in system settings.
Maybe it is different when using the do not disturb mode/settings.
@Freak07 : Have you checked DND settings, exceptions and app permissions?
There is also an app permission called "do not disturb" ... not sure what it means.
And can you test if the system toggles for disabling all sounds works for you as well?

Unfortunately disabling sounds completely is not an option for me, as I want calls to go through for example.
And yes I have DND mode setup with some custom "rules" depending if it´s night or daytime.
It might be that the XDA-App isn´t "classified" as a normal messaging app when it´s in foreground.
See the attached screenshots, but the only app that is allowed to interrupt is digital wellbeing, the people category only has "calls" allowed, and alarms and other interruptions has alarms, media sounds, reminder and calendar events allowed.
No messenger or any other notification does make a sound. Neither does the XDA-App produce a notification sound when it´s either closed or running in background. But as soon as the app is open and I get a notification it produces the notifcation sound.

Yeah ... maybe classified as "Alarm" or "Media sound"
Hello, I think I have successfully recreated this issue. When setting notifications from XDA to silent, they still make a sound when the app is in use. I will log this bug for a fix, Thanks!
Can confirm. I do not have DND setup at all, but still when app is in foreground and a new alert/notification is received, i get the sound (without the noti. displaying in QS.).
Not a bad behaviour in itself but can be disturbing especially during DND period.
A better behaviour is displaying notification withoud sound when DND is on.
