On my phone, I have it set to Priority Only Allows with Messages from anyone plus Calls from anyone.
For some odd reason, my phone will turn on DND and not allow anything to pass for about an hour. This happens several times a day since I can see the DND symbol there knowing that DND has been blocked even though the Priority has allow all messages and calls.
It appears to be activated by my watch through both DND and gestures and over rides what my phone has established. Every so often I see that my phone is in DND and all calls will go to voice mail.
I turned off gestures, set DND to OFF, but is there a way to have this be off and have it stop interfering with my phone calls?
I had the same problem and turned off gestures. I also reported it to Google. Maybe if enough people report similar issues they will make a change.
Android Wear 2.0 was supposed to be out by now, but it was delayed until early next year. Maybe they will make some changes, such as allow customizing gestures.

Hello, I have a question here,
Got marshmallow running on my HTC One m8.
There is no silent mode anymore as in no sound and no vibration. What's there now is the do not disturb feature which basically does the same. But Accidentally I had it set to accept calls only from contacts.
What I can not find out now is, does this actually and actively block and deny any calls of unknown numbers without logging them or showing in any way that this person tried to call me, or does it just not show full screen call notification when I receive a call of unknown numbers?
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

Hi! Google replaced Do Not Disturb feature with Silent in Lollipop 5.0 and it was reported that they will bring Silent back at a later stage. Anyways, the Do Not Disturb feature in Android phones does not decline calls automatically like iPhone's Do Not Disturb, it only silents your phone and if you have selected 'Contacts Only' then it will only ring if someone from your contacts call you otherwise it will remain silent and notify you of the call or text (or whatever) and your screen will turn on while a call is being received.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!
Okay thanks! Was worried I'll miss calls or something.
I tried it out in the meantime, asked a friend whose number I don't have to call me. I didn't ring loud regardless whether I set accept all calls, or contacts only. It rung silently but the call came through in both cases.
I got this phone new last year in March and I've had this issue for the about the past six months where my phone is missing calls, texts come late and my GPS doesn't really work.
People will call me and it will just keep ringing and eventually go to my voicemail and I don't even get a notification about missed calls, but if I call them while my phone is acting up the call goes through.
Text messages can just simply arrive late, it can be from 10 to 30 minutes apparently.
GPS was the first thing I noticed wasn't working, It seems occasionally it can work but I've only seen it happen once. My phone is still able to tell where I am for weather and the thing where google asks "Are you at this place?" but using GPS for navigation doesn't work, It doesn't update my location while driving, it still shows my location as where I started when I opened the GPS. I've tried turning location off and on and turning flight mode on and off, that did temporarily fix it once but it hasn't worked since. I've even tried factory resetting my phone which didn't really do anything.
Maybe im stupid...
When i go to bed i want too silence my phone notifications. Only my family must be able too reach me with a phone call.
Silence mode doesn't work because you can't add exceptions
Dnd works half because i can add contacts as exception. They can call me it works fine.
Only i want to disable all sms and Whatsapp notification sound on dnd mode is this possible?
Some people aren't able to disable WhatsApp notifications sounds in DND mode. It's a known bug on Poco. You need to search on a workaround.

I know i found several topics from different xiaomi phones with same issues. Only i never found a working workaround.
That's the reason i started the thread
You can just disable notifications for sms and whatsapp. And re-enable once you are up in the morning
The problem presents itself as there are some notification providers (e.g. call services) that don't allow the user to disable specific notifications (in this case WiFi Calling).
Since receiving the official Android 11 on my Pixel 4 XL yesterday, there is a permanent notification telling me emergency calls are not working over WiFi Calling (thanks I know, get out of my sight).
Usually, notification providers can be turned off entirely or selected groups of notifications of a service can be turned off. Well, seems like you can't turn this one (or call services at all) off.
Is there anything one can do about this? I don't want to have this notification be there 24/7.
I am very open to hacky solutions, whatever it takes to get rid of unwanted permanent notifications. The optimal solution would be something that allows me to, in general, modify previously immutable notification settings.
Hey,
Prior to android 10 I used Night Keeper for years and there was some change in android 10. Its some special setting which needs to be changed in order for the apps white list to put calls through. Anyways, this app is "no longer useful beyond android 9+." That being said I stumbled across the magical setting a couple months ago but I had to do a reset of the phone and cant remember what the setting was. I had it working flawlessly for months so I know its possible. I remember losing my mind last time too but then randomly came across some post which listed the settings I needed to change. There is a setting called DND access but you can only select whatever apps it lists, I cant force night keeper. I dont think thats the issue because it does turn on DND, more on that below.
Summary of what the app does in case people arent familiar;
DND app but it lets you create profiles. So I have a sleep one which turns off BT and all notifications except calls from specific contacts, it turns on android DND but then SHOULD override something when specific callers call. It is not recognizing the contacts which are in my list so their calls are not put through. I have a profile called Text & Phone, its listed as priority mode rather than silent and full ringer. So all calls and then whatever apps I do want notifications for (messaging, etc) so in other words no email (still synced though) and only actually important notifications. In order to get those notifications you have to go into the app notifications settings and allow override DND. It has to be some permission to allow it to read contacts or something since the app works other than call filtering. ANY IDEAS??? I havnt been able to find a similar app which does what I need.
