Okay so I've been looking around for a way to set up specific rules for notifications, for example: between 11pm and 8am phone is silent, but if X texts me, play and continuously repeat notification alert until dismissed.
The idea is I want to be able to silence my phone at night but also allow certain people to wake me.
I've tried many of the apps in the play store that have similar functions but for the most part they either don't work at all or they don't entirely work. I also tried Llama but noisy contacts weren't working for texts nor do they repeat until dismissed. Tasker is a likely option but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
I'm on an LG G2 At&t stock rooted 4.2.2 rom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is anyone having issues with the Google Now notifications? On my last phone, I would get notifications for flights, and games on days my teams are playing.
one the HOX+ I have everything configured the same way, but I don't get the notifications. I only see the info if I launch google now/search.
Did you try rebooting the phone. I posted an issue I have seen that location services does not seem to activate properly all the time if you turn it off and on. If you reboot the phone it should ask to accept Google location services immediately click accept and it should work.

Were you previously on ICS? On JB certain notifications "hide" till you pull down the notification bar. Things like weather and traffic typically aren't visible at the top till you pull notifications down. But I remember when using the "massaged" Google Now app on ICS, they would appear up at the top. For a while after upgrading to JB on my Inspire I thought something was broken, but it turned out it's normal for some notifications to not be visible at the top all the time.
No idea if this describes your problem, but if you came from ICS to JB, there are a few changes to how the app operates.
I didn't know google now was available on ICS... In my case, it's always been on JB.
On my last phone, I would get a notification in the morning of the day that any sports team I configured is playing. It would say which team is playing, and what time the game in the local time zone of wherever I am...I don't get that on the HOX+ unless I open the google app
Hi there,
I realise I'm new here, but I have searched extensively before posting, both on here & generally on Google for an answer to this, but I've been unable to find one, so here goes...
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3, but unfortunately it has this annoying feature that can NOT be turned off. Every time I receive a phone call my ringer is low, probably about half way for about 5-10 seconds, then the volume Increases to what ever I have it set to (maximum in my case).
I really dislike this, and have been using an app called "Disable Increasing Ring", which can be downloaded from the Play store.
Now, even though this app works, I would prefer it if Tasker could do the task for me, since I already have Tasker running in the background, it would make sense.
I love the android app 'Tasker', it's fantastic, and use it for as much as possible. Having this other app (Disable Increasing Ring) also running in the background seems like a waste of resources.
So, does anyone know how I can set Tasker app, up to work the same as the 'Disable Increasing Ring' app?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to start by saying that I have no idea how this started happening or even when. Only that it started happening within perhaps the past month or maybe 2 months.
I'm having issues with two apps, BBM and PowerAmp. PowerAmp has this feature where if you plug in your earbuds it will resume your music and if you unplug your earbuds it will pause automatically. In probably the last month or so I've noticed that this has no longer been working from Poweramp even though this has been working since I've had it which is a long long time . I thought maybe the Poweramp service was being closed due to not enough phone memory but I would check and not only was the service running but I also had enough memory.
The interesting thing is that I'm having a similar problem with the BBM app. They have a service that runs which checks for incoming messages and in the recent past it too also stopped working. Both PowerAmp and BBM will work if I have opened the app in the past 5 minutes or so. As an example, if I open PowerAmp and use it a bit, close it, and within the next minute I plug in my earbuds it will resume playback. If I take out my earbuds and wait a long period of time and plug back in then no such luck. The same behaviour is happening with BBM.
Many people have similar issues specifically with BBM but keeping the Persistent Icon in their notification area has solved it. For me, it has not. I followed BBM's support which says to have the Persistent Icon on, check to make sure the app does not have background data restricted, and also to check to make sure that background data in general is not restricted. All checks are good. The other interesting thing is that when I switch from data to Wifi all of a sudden I will receive all of my BBM messages, so it seems that the service must be running I'd think?
I don't know if it's a coincidence between both apps or not. Any suggestions or things to try in order to get to the deeper root cause? I have a Nexus 4 and I'm on version 4.4.2 and I should have the latest version of both apps installed. I'm not rooted or anything. It's just a stock Nexus 4 from Google.
Thanks.
So I've had some annoyances with my new S9+ that I've never seen before. I'm not sure if it's a Samsung issue or an Oreo one.
So I'm getting some warnings in my notifications area. Now I get the idea behind it, but there's no way to approve apps. For instance, I get a warning that Waze was using the microphone. I approved that permission, yet every time I use Waze, I get the warning. I get a warning that Google Music is using a lot of CPU. Lastly, I'm getting a warning that Handcent SMS is accessing, you guessed it, SMS.
Again, I understand the idea behind it. However, two of these are working "as intended". I'm wondering if there's a way to whitelist apps so this notification doesn't appear every time.
If anyone needs to know how to fix this, I found it on Google.
Settings > Lockscreen and Security > App Permission Monitor.
Then you can turn that all the way off, or off for specific apps.
As the title suggests lately I've been having issues with Kik, maybe it's just the latest builds that rolled out with the recent updates or maybe even prior to them perhaps, before that I was rather using an year old Kik version since I never update my phone for long.
I updated (time and time again after the issue, reinstalling/installing it back again and again) without any success with the issue. Messages just lag randomly and might take up from 15 minutes to hours before I receive them if the device is on standby mode or sitting idly.
For instance, if the app is running in the foreground/background when the screen turns off, any message I receive 15 minutes after that screen off will delay unless I do something on my phone. If I am using another application as simple as discord or a simple game as Delight Choice text based app it does the same, if someone doesn't text me during those 15 or so minutes after that app switch, after that any messages that are sent to me I never get them and the people sending me those texts reported that the messages were stuck on S. Another example of the delayed message would be this, I tried turning the caffeine mod on and just kept the app in the foreground with no other apparent app running in the background except for the system ones. I just kept my phone as such, the screen was on but I just didn't do anything at all on it, thought maybe I could avoid it with that perhaps but nada, I picked up my phone touched kik entered a chat randomly and messages suddenly started popping up in my notifications.
It's either a recent bug or server issues, I've had them before too but not to this extent which would be back to normal once I uninstalled and installed the application back. I thought maybe it was the modified Kik perhaps, or maybe Xkik since I used to use that before but even that wasn't the case. I would just disable xkik module and kik would have been back to normal if there were any issues. But not this time, even the normal Kik is giving me the same issues with delayed messages.
Since there isn't any support forum for kik, no support email either and I got on the play store to find some of the users complaining about the same issues. Well at least I am not alone, and the issue is not easy to reproduce on other devices so I am stuck with this right now.
Also, I am not using any power saving apps (I was but I uninstalled them all to see if they were causing the issue), kik is not being optimized for battery, my battery is on performance mode along with kernel adiutor which I have set the CPU on performance mode. There isn't any low memory killing going on since I have plenty of ram remaining and have set LMK at very low. I am at a real stalemate here and hope to find some answer or resolution to it.
Right now I have activated heads up notification and put kik notifications to be treated as a priority. I will post the results if any, hope that helps me out with these delays.
