Why not just use DND mode when you intend to game? So simple

Playing games in landscape without getting interrupted

Like the topic says i want to play games in landscape mode (Clash of clans for example) without getting notifications and calls.
Something identical like ios's do not disturb function where i can play games without getting calls and notifications.
And another thing is can I rotate videos on browser(default and chorme) without using the auto-rotation function? Like ios where i can rotate the screen to the left/right. Because i usually watch videos while in sleeping position.
Thanks

pretty sure you can use tasker to automatically turn on do not disturb whenever you play your game, and turn it back off when you're done

Do not disturb doesn't even work. When i play games calls and notifications still get through. This is getting annoying many times.
Airplane mode?
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Premium HD app
the game i playing requires mobile data connection.
I've been googling so many hours and i still haven't find a true solution. I manage to find Tasker able to *block calls* but not in game, just when i open the app. trying to configure this **** out
But won't you feel at least a LITTLE guilty if someone keeps trying to call or text you over and over with some urgent information but you were busy clashing with some other clan?

Unable to receive game's notification

Hi guys, I got my U11 around 10 days and everything is good until I installed game apps. I tested some games as Last Day On Earth, Simpson, Shadow Fight 3 and Township but it didn't push any notification about mission complete or promo from games although I turned on the notification in settings. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
PS: the Sangam IME keyboard always appears error notification when I use it and there's no enter button to send or finish the text after typing. Is it U11's error or only my phone got it?

If android 7 there is an app called "boost+" which can shut down apps to save power. Check the settings for each app.
Check the apps permissions.

Its android 8 and I removed the Boost+ before.
Some missions in Township game have notification but it is random, sometimes it has notification but most time it doesn't. But in other games I haven't receive any notification since I installed it
I turned on the notification for those apps in setting and accept permissions. I also disabled the disturb setting too.
Are there anything prevent the notification?

Mate 30 pro messenger push notifications?

Hi, just bought a mate 30 pro a few days ago without google services. I side loaded all the apps I needed and everything was working great until I realised I wasn't getting my facebook messenger notifications. If the app is open they come through but when I close the app it's like it goes to sleep after about 5 mins. I made messenger my default sms app to see if that would help and all my texts worked fine but my facebook messages just won't work.
I have all my notifications on, app launch set to manual to allow auto-launch, secondary launch and run in background. I even allowed all permissions but didn't make a difference. I have performance mode on and have selected stay connected when device sleeps.
Has anyone else had any problems like this or know how to fix it? I've done a factory reset and been through every option I could think of. I love the mate 30 pro but probably going to have to get rid of it if i can't fix this problem.

Go to notification settings and turn on sounds and "on top" option. All notifications works well for me - asian version of mate 30 pro.
Same thing happened to me. What i did was reset phone update to the firmware and after that it went back to normal. For some reason it stopped working after i used the app phone clone tranffering old apps from my old mate 10. Hope it helps...
Same with me on my Mate 30 Pro 5G chuna version
Manage launch already set manuall and auto launch,secondary launch and keep running background all is ON..but same no notif
Yes..same in here too..mate 30 pro 5G china
All launch manually,it means run background,auto start always on..but still no luck..after 5 mins idle..no notif.
But my fren have it with global rom,and it work normally
No lock apps
I wonder if the reasons behind this problem are also the reason behind 'alarms' not going off sometimes. For example, I have an app called 'Alarm Clock Radio', and it seems like it needs to be the 'front' app for the alarm to remain set overnight? It seems to work just fine if I 'test' it by setting alarms in the near future, but it rarely lasts overnight. This app adds a notification when it has an alarm set, but that is sometimes not there and that seems to be coincident with the alarm not working...
oh, and also Accubattery, that is supposed to alert you when the charge gets to a certain level, but sometimes doesn't....

I made the changes to the 'Battery optimisation', so that the apps that I want to run long term, for whatever reason, aren't 'killed'...ie set to "Don't allow - May drain your battery more quickly"; but they still don't last until the next morning. I would have thought that apps like 'Alarm clock radio' would set some kind of system alarm that would launch the radio app, rather than have to have the app running continuously.
I ran the app Push Notification Tester and it comes back with error after 4 tests. Not registered for push notifications. It doesn’t matter if you change settings or not you don’t receive push notifications. Weird because I get normal SMS and WhatsApp just fine!

I think it has to do with the Mate 30 Pro not being registered with google and because so many apps as made for the google services, you can’t get Push Notifications to work 100%
All apps that reply on play service to send push notifications wont work you cant pass all the test.

Indeed. My question is do all apps on Google Android require GMS to send Push Notifications?
I ask because I know that not only Google run the notification services, but do they all use the GMSes on Google Android phones, or can phones have multiple on-device services to consolidate communications with cloud-based push notification services?
Can, eg, a Pixel phone, also install Huawei Managed Services?

Very good question. I have been looking into it but so far I thinks that’s why Huawei is trying to get all the apps on there system! (HMS)

Apps like the whatsapp, messenger, viber etc still work. Apps that work perfectly before you install the GMS will receive push notifications. Because they dont rely on the play service.

Exactly, I realised after installing GMS on Mate 30 Pro that push notification on Gmail, Outlook and most apps are not working. Instant messaging, social media and messenger are working just okay with or without GMS.
I just installed GMS on my mate30 pro, everything works well, just push notification is not working.
I ran the tester and there is a error of registration error of push notification.
How to fix this?

Assistant only completes certain tasks

Since yesterday I have a seemingly unresolvable issue with the Assistant on my Pixel 3. Running Android 10 and been using swedish as the main language for a while (the issue is the same with english btw).
Stuff like setting timers, alarms, making calls, sending texts and playing music have worked fine for a long time.
Right before things went wrong I got an error message about no Google account being associated to the Assistant. I reverted it to my Google account and figured everything was fine.
Then later the Assistant started failing, and in particular to do these tasks:
- set timers
- set alarms
- make calls
- send texts.
When I try these I'm only met with the three grey pulsating dots, and no audio response or text confirmation.
Stuff that it still does, though, are:
- play music via Spotify, Google Play Music
- tell me the weather
The strange thing though is that if I set Assistant to be used without an account, it works! Also if I create a brand new test Google account, it manages those basic tasks that have stopped working on my regular Google account.
So, on Android 10, security update april 5th.
I've been trying to resolve this for 24hrs now, and frustration is growing. I've:
- tried to clear cache/data for the Google app
- inactivated it, rebooted, activated, updated
- tried the beta Google app
- tried various old versions from apkmirror -- from march, earlier in april (at a time when my Assistant was working)
- rebooted in Safe mode -- here it uses the old Assistant interface! and it actually works, but it's the clunky old one!
- checked permissions for the Google app/Clock/Telephone app/Messages -- everything seems to be enabled?
- gone through my settings for my Google account: web and app activity, location history and so on is Enabled. Personlig ads also on.
Another weird thing is that sometimes it actually seems to set a timer, but no confirmation and no notification visible. Also nothing is shown in the Clock app. But a timer beeps after five minutes -- only sometimes! Weird.
Now when I was experimenting with this I tried to set a timer, then opened the Clock app and of course, no timer was running. I then got one of those blue notification fields at the bottom, saying I can use the Assistant to set timers, alarms etc. I touched it and got an Assistant popup saying "It's not possible to reach Google right now" (translated)... Hmmm!
As you can tell, this is very weird. I would appreciate any pointers and suggestions! Thanks in advance
So this is what a typical response looks like:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PaMGfYxAUSqAoMpZ6
And in Your Activity, it says I set a timer and got a response, but that is is simply untrue!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/VGmrP1G4KU9HE66C8
(I switched to english temporarily to try to illustrate).
So, for every one of those attempts absolutely no resonse except for the pulsating dots was shown in Assistant! :/
So strange.
I zeroed my phone completely again, and set it up with my regular Google account but WITHOUT copying apps and settings. Assistant STILL WON'T DO BASIC TASKS LIKE TIMERS.
I zeroed it again and instead made a brand new Google account: Assistant immediately performs those basic tasks.
I really need some help here, please.
OK, so I went back and disabled all the data & privacy settings in Assistant, and now it can set a timer. But beyond that it's quite useless as it can't get access to make calls or do texts etc. So I gradually enabled setting by setting, and I've concluded that the "Web & App Activity" toggle breaks my Assistant somehow. It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Include Chrome history..." or "Include voice and audio recordings" boxes, if the main toggle is on my Assistant hits some kind of wall with timers, texts and calls. Beyond this I can't understand what I can do to influence this?!

WhatsApp ignores "Do Not Disturb": ideas for workarounds

It's been noted before that WhatsApp ignores DND, leading to intrusive interruptions. For example I use my mobile as webcam for Zoom and Skype calls from the PC (whose webcam is broken) and every time a WhatsApp notif comes it, it stops the video in Skype or Zoom.
I scanned forums for workarounds but didn't find a one-click solution.
Thought I'd share what I've settled in so far, and ask if others are using other methods.
I use Nova Launcher. Nova has a widget type called Nova Activities. Using that, I placed a button on my screen that launches Settings / App notifications. WhatsApp is usually on the first page, and can be turned off in one touch (so two touches total), which I do before Skype or Zoom calls. Just have to remember to enable later.
Rejected solution: saw an app in the Play Store but it wants to create a VPN and (i) don't want to create one on top of AdGuard, (ii) don't want to entrust my traffic to an unknown entity.

You're talking about using the macrodroid app from the Play store to kill WhatsApp overnight, right? Interesting, I didn't know about macrodroid, looks easier to configure than Tasker.
That said, what I'm going for is an easy way to kill WhatsApp notifications while I'm on a Zoom or Skype call, and to turn them back on after the call. The only quick solution I've found so far is this "Nova activity" button.
@jaggillararla tried Macrodroid, really like the interface, great way to create macros. It looks like some options would work, like killing WhatsApp or disabling its notifications when either silent mode or DND are turned on. Sadly at the moment these triggers are not working on my device (which is rooted).
But in the meantime I realized that just going on Airplane mode should do exactly what I need! Duh. In airplane mode, the webcam software still communicates with my PC. That's probably the easiest trick for me, if it works.
Thank you very much for your thoughts, hope I can get Macrodroid to work for something else.
EDIT: these two macros seem to do the trick:
- IvCam ON → Airplane Mode ON
- InCam OFF → Airplane Mode OFF
