Question Calendar Notification inconsistency - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hello,
I searched for this calendar thing before but I did not find anything similar to this so a new post, so my question is, I have my Google calendar filled with some daily activities and on the time mentioned in that event, I get a notification and it shows on the watch, so these events are created by using recurrence, so the one that comes on the next day is exactly the same, but one day on my watch instead of just a normal notification, I saw a screen similar to when we turn off the alarm but for the event, but just once and never saw it again even though the events are exactly same for all the days, am I missing something? is there a way where I can see that screen every time the event is notified? I think that is a better reminder that just a simple vibration/sound which is same for every other notifications.

Not sure if I follow what you are saying, but my notifications come up with snooze or close (I think) if I have a reminder set.

yes! this is what I want, but I get a simple text notification which is just a normal informative/non-interactive notification, so I got the snooze/close screen once, and I had set an event(like every other activity), I'll check if setting a reminder does the thing.
Update: So I set a reminder and this is how I get a notification, and this is how I get for any event too, but I want that stop/snooze screen instead of a simple notification

Do you get the snooze/stop on your phone?

No, I don't

I would start there and check notification settings on the phone. Not really sure what you may have done, but that is where I would start. Check calendar first. Setup a event and see if you can get it to show. I am not sure, but the Samsung calendar app does not show this as a pop-up. Only as a notification.

Ok, let me check if I can get that screen on the phone first, I'll update you with the results.

tldr; Reminder screen for calendar event only shows up if the watch is not connected to the phone, looking for ways to get that screen to show up when connected to the phone.
I think I found the issue, I was charging my watch and I usually put it on airplane mode while charging so it disconnects from the phone and during the time I was charging it there was one daily event that I had set up on Google Calendar which was due, so when the watch was disconnected, it showed me that stop and snooze screen for that particular event, so I don't know if this counts as a solution that whenever I'll want to see the reminder screen(stop and snooze), I'll have to disconnect my watch and only then it'll show me that screen. I feel that this should be present even if the watch is connected to the phone, after trying to play with some settings I found out that, reminder screen only appears when it is disconnected from the phone
things I tried(Did not work):
- Turned off the notifications from the GC app
- Turned off notifications from the wearable app for GC
both of these settings did not work, will be trying more
edit1
things I tried (did not work):
- Disabling the GC app
- Downgrading the GC app to the native version which came pre-installed with the stock rom of phone.
The reminder screen that is displayed is from Samsung calendar app and when the watch is connected to the phone, I guess it expects the phone to trigger the reminder screen but as I have a non Samsung phone I only have GC which only shows the generic notification as a reminder.

Baby monitor app & notifications not working for deaf user

Hi all,
I'm deaf and recently had a newborn baby - the existing baby monitors for deaf people aren't very effective and due to the massively thick walls of our house, the monitor range only reaches less than 15% of our house and have no coverage in the kitchen & living rooms, the two most important rooms. So I'm looking into using an old smartphone with a baby monitor app. I've found Dormi which seems to work OK, and it shows up notifications in my phone's notification bar, however, nothing comes into the Gear, it keeps saying "No notifications received". I tried a test Whatsapp message and the notification comes up OK, and all other notifications works fine. I've double checked the settings and it shows that the baby monitor app notification for the Gear is enabled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hey,
I noticed that the notification sync is not always that good and not all notifications are supported.
Notification cannot have the "Ongoing" status (ex. charging your phone) and need to be cancellable (be able to swipe the notification in order to close it).
It seems that the app you are using does not comply with those rules.
You could contact the developers and ask to support the gear OR you could create a flow or task in something like "Automate" to listen for the notification and automatically create a new notification that does sync to the watch.
Regards,
Davey

Thanks for this! I've already double checked this - it's already enabled and working. Tried turning it off and on again, no change. Thanks for your reply!

EMUI 8.0.0, Android 8.0.0, Google Messages (with channel Notification) - Help?

Not sure really where to go with this, except I'm hoping with someone with a bit more experience on these builds will know what's going on, explain why what I want won't work, or what I can do to fix. Or at least if it's an EMUI thing, an Oreo thing, or a Messages thing to know what to look into changing.
I'm running the builds downloaded from the https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317 build. I also installed Messages v3.8.037 (basilisk_RC15).
It seems the Messages app starting at 3.7.052 at least, Messages started using channel notifications on Oreo. Whenever I go into the app and try to change the notification options, it seems to redirect me to the phone Notification settings directly to the "Messages - Other Notifications" section. Under that, there's only an option to turn ringtone on or off, not to set the sound for it. I can set a ringtone for each contact in the contacts app, but that seems to change the call and messages ringtone, and I really just want a way to distinguish a notification that I got ANY text from getting ANY email, ANY motion detection on my security cam, etc.
Bear with me on my journey here, I don't know how to resize these without making them all JPG'y and unreadable...
I tap on the vertical ellipses in the Messages app and tap on settings, and this screen pops up.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then tap on the Notification option, and it brings up the screen I was talking about above, where I can't set the ringtone, only turn it on or off.
The same experience happens if I start from Settings, which appears to be all EMUI'd out.
Without EMUI, I think you'd get App Info, according to all posts I've seen. In EMUI 8.0.0, I tap on Apps.
I then had to tap Messages, then Notifications (not pictured) and it takes me to this. Nowhere between are options to change the sounds either. Tapping on any of these takes me to the exact same thing as image 2, but it shows the subheading of whatever I tap on here (example -- image 2 is what I get tapping on "Other notifications"). Notice there's a separate setting here specifically for my wife for some reason.
Here's my build infos:
Thanks for any info you can give me, even if it's just education. I know it seems piddly, but I'm thinking this will apply to anything with channel notifications. For instance, I just noticed my security cam app appears to use channel notifications and I can't change it for that either.
So what you wanna do is to set individual sounds for some contacts? Well, as far as I know the option isn't available in EMUI 8. Or at least I don't know how to.

It's not that, I can do that in contacts. It's that I want ANY text to come through to be sound A, whereas email alerts are sound B, security camera app alerts are sound C. You can see above that I can't set the sound for Messages app.
Pretty sure that's not possible. Try Googling it.

Ya, I had it in Nougat and got spoiled with it. I set my texts to be "Hey, Listen" from Navi in Legend of Zelda, and I set my emails to be a rupee sound, and security system to be the "opening big chest" sound. now they're all the standard system notification sound
I can switch to Textra like all of the Googles suggests, but I like having the Google app and the "Messages for Web" functionality. Guess I'll have to live with this or go back to Nougat. But this has been a whole different phone since I've gotten Oreo/EMUI8. WAY less lag/lockups. So I'll deal.

Huawei telephone power consumption small trick, close unwanted apps notification

I am coming! Recently, I have heard some friends feedback that the mobile phone consumes more power during standby than their imagination. Today I will share a small trick with you about how to SAVING THE PHONE POWER.
With the growing demand for the storage of mobile phones,large-capacity mobile phones such as 128G and 256G are very popular. More and more apps are installed on the phones, In general, all kinds of application notifications on mobile phones are more power-hungry than you imagination. If you turn off the reminder function for apps that need’t daily notifications, it will be much better.
The notifications not only annoying but also make us ignore some important messages. Every time you receive a notification, the phone will be awaked, sometimes it even lights up the screen, which increases the power consumption, then the standby time will be shorter. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you should turn off the unnecessarily application notifications.

There are two ways to turn off app notifications:
First: Settings - Notifications management - Batch Administration, which can turn off unnecessarily notifications.
Second: in the drop-down menu, press the notification in longer time to close the notification button, and then click the Finish button.
Every guys, did you get it? Let’s try it.
does your phone closed all the background apps automatic after couple hours if u don't use them?
I don't receive some notifications if the apps closed in background except wechat,whatsapp and email,gmail.
I set app launch manually, battery optimization in special access ,etc . It still closed apps in background automatic , this drive me crazy. Do u have any idea with that?
Try locking the open app in the recent apps tab, works for me. See picture...

In the recent apps view just pull down towards the trash can then pull back up and a lock should show up then pull back down again and the lock should disappear.
Thx a lots. That's very helpful.

Android 12 lock screen and my S20 Notifications

Hey guys, trying to figure this out, just reset my phone because it's been a while. I thought i used to be able to tap the power button and the screen would turn off. If i got a text or email, my screen would turn on and i would see who it was from, the subject, etc. Now what happens is the screen stays black. If i tap the power button again i then see the lock screen with my messages, etc. How do i get rid of that black screen or the phone not going directly to the active lock screen?
Have you set any Always On Display? Looks like a problem with Lockscreen notifications, can you check if that settings isn't set to Off? (Settings > Lockscreen > Notifications)
hey, thanks for the reply. always on display is set to on (didn't think it needed to be before) but i dont' mind. notifications are set to on. here are a couple screen shots. the AOD pic is after i sent the emails, nothing shows up. The lockscreen pic is what i want it to look like when i get an email. any other help would be much appreciated, i have spent more time on this than i care to admit.

I don't think AOD needs to be on (mine is set to tap to show), but that was just in case that would be the culprit.
Notifications failing to wake the screen is pretty common, is that the case for every notifications you have or only some apps?
Edit: Browing Samsung forums I read that somebody have the same issue and it was Google Messaging app that was causing the notifications to not wake the screen. Could that be your case?
thanks again for helping. it is the case for every app, nothing wakes the screen.. i don't use google messaging, just aqua mail for email and Pulse SMS for texting.
I remember having a similar issue when I did not set up Edge Lighting, I'm pretty sure yours must be turned off?Settings > Notifications >Brief pop style, and turn on show when screen is off.
interesting. I had notifications set to detailed. i changed it to brief and then the notification pops up briefly, the edge lighting works then the screen goes black again. I then still have to push the power button for the lock screen to come on but at least there is something working. It isn't too useful as i would have to be looking at my phone at the time a message comes in but it's something.
Another solution would be to install the Glimpse Notifications app, but it sucks to have to install a 3rd party app for something that should be available right out the box.
Edit: Glimpse need notifications to be set to detailed instead of brief.
couple things. i don't mind installing a 3rd party app at all, just want it to work. is it supposed to work right out of the box? so i installed glimpse and it just basically did what it did before, wake the screen. I went in though and changed a couple options and it seems to have fixed the problem. i am going to have to go back in and look but now it is popping up my lock screen exactly how i wanted it. thanks so much, i REALLY appreciate it. now to fix my wife's S10. Still curious why it didn't work without this app.
I've always used Edge Lighting on my S10e and I remember being bothered by the non-waking screen with Notifications set to Detailed. I don't know if Detailed notifications are supposed to wake the screen or not, but they used to with my old device (Galaxy S5), so I was surprised that they didn't on the S10e.
I'm glad Glimpse works for you, apparently that's what people use to get around that screen waking issue.
ya, i thought it was Android 12 that had something to do with it. Either way, i don't care, just glad it's working again. Thanks so much for your help, really appreciated.

Question Do not disturb (DND) problem

Hi All,
I'm using scheduled DND. Every time it turns on it resets my excluded contacts and I have to add contacts again.
Is this a normal behavior? If not any ideas how to fix it?
Have you enabled the 'Do not disturb' mode with an 'Exceptions' setting?
In 'Exceptions' section, you can allow calls and messages from any contact, favorite contacts, or anyone to bypass DND.
Of course I did, otherwise it will not work.
I am also having issues since the last OneUI update..
My DND schedule seems to be confused as to which day of the week it is. I have the schedules set for M-F 10pm to 7am and S,S for 11pm to 10am but when Monday comes around, it's showing the weekend schedule is still active.
I ahve verified correct date, time and location settings... Cleared system cache, deleted and recreated the DND schedules but still have the issue where DND is using the incorrect day.

Yes, I can confirm this bug.
I have always used the 'Favourite contacts' as exception, and that works fine.
After reading your post, I tried to add some contacts manually to the exception list, and I see that the list has gotten reset. This is a bug, and I'm not sure with which OneUI version this problem started.
Still having the DnD issue where the schedule thinks its still the weekend

I dont use DND option on my S22 Ultra cause never found the need for it! Although, I did find this resolution through Bard, since you arent able to fix this I thought to ask Bard. I hope this helps!
Bards Reply:
No, it is not normal for scheduled DND to reset your excluded contacts. This is a bug that has been reported by other users. There are a few things you can try to fix it:
Restart your phone. This may clear up any temporary glitches that are causing the problem.
Update your phone's software. If you're not using the latest version of your phone's software, there may be a bug fix that will resolve this issue.
Reset your phone's settings. This will erase all of your settings, including your excluded contacts, so you'll need to re-add them. However, this may also fix the bug.
If you've tried all of these things and the problem is still occurring, you can contact your phone's manufacturer or carrier for support.
In the meantime, you can still exempt certain contacts from DND by adding them to your favorites list. This is a workaround, but it's better than having to add your excluded contacts every time DND turns on.
Here are the steps on how to add your contacts to your favorites list:
Open the Contacts app on your phone.
Tap the Star icon next to the contacts you want to exempt from DND.
When you turn on DND, your favorites list will be exempt from the Do Not Disturb restrictions.
