This used to happen on my S2, too, and I'm frankly fed up with it.
Samsung app settings including...
-- Camera settings inc toolbar icon prefs
-- S Planner notification settings
... Despite my turning off S Planner notifications and setting camera prefs in a particular way, the phone always forgets. I end up getting duplicate event notifications (S Planner and Google Calendar) and always need to reset camera settings.
Anyone else found this? What on earth is the problem? What do I do to solve it?
Bump.
Any ideas?
No, but I can join your club . I have the same issue with camera. I just got used to. Have so many problems with buggy android and one more or less doesn't make difference .

Hi
I use my calendar a lot and have my G2 synced with my Google Calendar. Although (thanks partly to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542151) I have been able to customise the sounds for email and sms alerts and ring tones, I am actually trying to use an on board one for the calendar. I go to 'Calendar/Settings/Reminders/Reminder sounds' and have tried choosing 'color' and also previously a custom tone. Unfortunately, whilst I have a custom default alert sound (in general settings) and 'color' selected in the calendar as above, all my calendar alerts still go off with the T-Mobile default sound. The T-Mobile sound is extremely loud and jarring so as a heavy calendar user I am keen to fix it. Can anyone advise a fix?
i get the same - all other reminders are changed to other tones - just not the calendar. does anyone else on a T-mobile G2 have the same issue ?.
Regards
If you change the sound in calendars it defaults back to t-mobile.
To work round it, in calendar settings select individual calendars instead of all calendars and it lets you change the sounds as you want to.
I know its weird but it works
That's worked! Thanks Cydat! Bit of a poorly implemented interface feature though.
OK, I see a few threads with similar questions (but no answers) on the boards of XDA, so going to ask this question.
My Xperia Z2 (BL locked, no root, running the stock Nordic Lollipop rom) doesn't show any notifications on the lock screen. My phone is PIN protected as that's a security requirement for my work Exchange e-mail account. But, even after removing my account (I thought some security setting was overriding the Android settings), I'm still not seeing any notifications on my lockscreen when I get an e-mail or text.
Is this just the way the ROM is? Or is there something wrong? I've gone through and double checked the notification settings after watching the Google help videos, but everything looks ok.
Thx,
Praz
UPDATE 4/7/15:
I just did a full reset and a fresh install of the U.S. 5.02 firmware. And from what I can tell, I'm still not getting lockscreen notifications on my Z2. I have my work e-mail on the phone; could it be that the corp security is disabling lockscreen notifications?
Anyone else having any issues w/ this?
I have just the same problem, have not been able to find any solution for this yet.
Someone else that have a solution?

Not sure - will mess w/ it some more later this week. Worst case, will do a reset to factory settings and see if the notifications show up. It's a little annoying right now to have neither status bar or the new style lockscreen notifications. But there aren't too many settings to screw it up, so I thought I'd check w/ you guys.
Hey Guys,
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and would highly appriciate any advise here ...
I have a nexus 5x.
I am using google keep's reminders but sadly I get a very short (one second) notification on the screen if the screen is on
or a notification short sound (shorter then usual notification sounds) when the screen is off.
There is no notification lasting on top of the screen that I can scroll and see like in the past.
It seems like something is blocking it,
I gave Google keep permissions to my contact, storage and everything that is possible.
I've enabled the locked screen notification on google keep's settings
I've also reinstalled google keep and it didn't help ..
I've downloaded many reminder apps like any.do and evernote but they face the same issue as I've mentioned above.
The only way I can get a reminder is if I put a reminder in google calander's built in app
But I don't want to use it
Would appreciate any help on your part.
Thanks.
Can't get notifications from Facebook, Words With Friends, Facebook Messenger and other apps. No badge notifications or alerts. And I get Facebook Messenger notifications at the top of the screen with every text sent or recorded WHILE USING FACEBOOK MESSENGER! Anyone else having notification issues?
I texted with Samsung tech support (big mistake!) and they said that it was a hardware issue and to return the S9+ to Verizon for replacement. This makes no sense to me. Sounds like a software issue. Thoughts?
what launcher are you using?
if stock Samsung launcher, pinch in on the screen and go to settings... you'll find that notification badges have to be turned on there separately for some annoying reason
if any other launcher, make sure you've given it notification access under accessability so the launcher can read notifications and give you the correct 'badge' for the icon
I heard that for some, the battery optimization might be running too aggressively. Try going into battery usage, settings (3 dots), then battery optimization, then select to show all apps, then try unselecting the apps your having problems with. Give it a run for a few days to see if that helps.
I am using Samsung's launcher. Spent 2 hours on the phone with them. Tried everything. Nothing works. May have to do a factory reset
It's software issues. I got the same problem.

Tried your suggestion. So far, no dice.
Yeah I am looking toward a factory reset too. Notification issue but different. no Edge Lighting alerts.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Edge Lighting Notifications to work. After a week with this phone I am yet to see one. Samsung Experience Home. Notifications on for everything. No apps have Optimise battery usage. All I get is a notification tone, an icon on the AOD and a status bar icon. But for me Edge Lighting Notifications are totally MIA!
So I eventually got some Edge Lighting alerts to work. Primarily by going into each and every app that I awn the alerts from and setting "Do not disturb custom exception" to On within it Notification area. PITA to have to do this in each app when it should be settable from the system notification area one would think. Now have it working for Whatsapp, Skype and Samsung Messaging.
But for love or money I cannot get it to work for GMail. Anyone else got Edge Lighting alerts working with GMAIL. Setting "Do not disturb custom exception" does not do it.
Hi
Just bought this tablet and set it up today, after coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. I am a long-term Android user and am happily using Oreo on my Galaxy S9. Unfortunately, either I am missing something or am totally thick, but I can't find anywhere how to change the notification sounds for various apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc on this Mediapad. I have the 8.4in running Android 8 & had no trouble doing this on my Galaxy S9. I go into notifications, it only gives me the option to turn the ringtone on or off, doesn't give me any list of tones. I have made sure all the apps have storage permission and virtually all permissions except for location.
Please someone make me feel less thick!!! :silly::silly::silly:
It's weird because it is there for me. From top to bottom:
Silent - vibrate while silent - DND - tablet ringtone - vibrate while ringing - notification
And in the last one I can set a notification sound or music
Def not for me. I was wondering whether to try a factory reset
I have now done a factory reset. Same problem. Facebook is fine, however so far, Gmail and Twitter are 2 that do not have the option to change the notification sound. I can switch them on or off, but can't change the tone. If I was able to post a screenshot of what I can see, then people would know what I mean
I'm right there with you. Got my new tablet on Friday, and I can't figure out how to have different notification sounds for multiple email accounts set up in the Gmail app. I've done this before on other devices, but it seems to not be set up to work on this tablet. Anyone have any thoughts?

The thing is I have actually looked under each app, which I had to do on my S9. Apps like Twitter you have to actually go into the settings, then apps, then Twitter, Gmail etc then find the notification within that and you can change it. But I have done that on this tablet and there is no option to change the tone. Facebook and messenger I have been able to change within their app. Any others, I cannot do within the apps or within the system settings. It's really strange. Shame we can't do screenshots on here.
