Messenger sound notification keeps resetting when I disable it - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] Issue with Notification Sounds

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

Priority mode not working for some apps

Is this happening just for me or? It seems that L's priority mode is not working for some apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Viber. Notification sounds and vibrations still go off when I receive notification. It works for SMS and calls thou.
There aren't many posts about this so I'm curious is it just me or not. Using sideloaded factory image.

I don't really use messenger,so can't say,but if everything else goes theough,I would assume they would go through as well. The only thing that definitely does not go through is calls.

Not receiving push notifications for messenger and other apps

For a few week I've not been receiving push notifications for Messenger and a couple of other apps, I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling, upgraded to beta firmware, factory reset to normal firmware, checked every power saving and notification settings I can find and I'm getting no where. I have avast and malwarebytes installed but have tried 24 hours without them.
I've noticed if I wake the phone and see the icon in the edge panel or from the app tray the app seems to wake and sometimes pushes through notifications. Very frustrating!
Anyone got any ideas?

Check the notification setting inside the apps
& check which apps can read and control your notifications in Notifications Access Setting
:good:
I have the exact same problem and none of these settings helped me. Do you think that it is an app-related problem?

In order to get app notifications , you must give app permissions to auto start. Otherwise you only will get notifications when app running .

I found that in notifications access setting, 'notification' was disabled, I've allowed this and will see how I get on tomorrow.
Today I had 50 outlook email notifications come through all at once... Phone blew up like Beyonce!
It's crazy this is happening, really puts me off the S8 plus.
Thanks for the help

Where can I find the auto start settings? Google is not fruitful on this one
Cheers!
Still not getting notifications for messenger. Does anyone know where the setting to allow messenger to auto start is.
I'm convinced it's some sort of aggressive power management feature.

Check the screen shots .
If didn't understand then reinstall the app and give all access include auto run tick when system ask.

I found the area where permissions are granted. Settings>Apps> {Appname}> scroll down to "Permissions" > tap the three dots at top right corner> tap "All permissions". This gets me to an area where it shows all of the available permissions to assign the this app. I do not see an "autostart" or anything similar.

Oreo: can't get rid of notification sound

After the Oreo update, any (or almost any) notification shown triggers an notification 'ding', even though Settings → Sound & notification → Default notification sound is set to Silent. Before update, I had everything on silent, only incoming texts on vibrate and calendar notifications with sound, other notifications I would only notice visually (LED or notifications bar/drawer).
I'm sure Gmail app and HTC Sense now do a sound even though they shouldn't and no setting was changed. I even tried setting "Default notification sound" to some sound and back to Silent, and still there is a sound.
Any suggestion how to make my phone silent again?
You can set it for every single App via settings > apps > appname > notifications. Or by settings > sound and notifications > advanced > notifications.

well, that's what I'm trying to avoid - there's a lot of apps there, don't wanna spend an hour disabling them one by one. On Nougat it worked universally.
Thinking of it, I'm looking for per-app whitelisting of notification sounds, instead of blacklisting them. If not possible, which I think is a design flaw, I guess I'll have to cover each app individually.
I can reproduce that but I'm ok with it. Have you tried something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fnp.audioprofiles or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft ?

This is kind of overkill for me. I guess in the end I'll just disable Gmail and some others and it will be enough. Thanks for the tip though, didn't know this was possible w/o root!
Just, backup you data, flash the RUU, and set it up again. I always get some random bug when updating via OTA only...

I'm sure factory reset would work just as well, but that's the other thing I wanted to avoid, restoring backups is usually a long and bothersome process for me. This is the only bug I'm experiencing without an obvious quick fix so far and actually the first OTA with any problem for me and my U11, so I guess I'll keep using the system as is.
The easiest way to do this is get a silent/empty notification track and set that as the default notification sound. That way android thinks it's playing a sound but isn't. Then set a different notification sound for apps you do want to hear.

Notification tone for messages.... NOT INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS

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 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.
