How do I turn on notifications for only selected apps? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Just got my new V30. I have a couple hundred apps on it but want notifications from only maybe a half dozen. On my S7, I could bring up the list of applications, each with a checkbox (or maybe it was a toggle) for each and select All On or All Off and then change the few I needed.
On the V30, it appears all apps are On by default, and I have to go to the Sound & Notifications page, select Apps, and then go into each one and turn it off. Is that correct? No way to turn them all off at once and then manually turn on just the ones I want?
Thanks.

as far as i know, on v30 you must set up one by one... CMIIW

Another option is to long press on the notification (when you swipe down to view the offending app that just pinged you), and select "Show Notifications Silently" or "Block All Notifications." At least this way, you're only wasting your time cutting off the ones that are actually annoying you.

Screen turns on when receiving text

Hi everyone I was wondering if there is a way to disable the screen from coming on every time I get a text message?
No there isn't. It's very annoying. Hopefully they change that. At least they allow us to remove the text preview from the lockscreen.
That is just stupid. If they wanted to copy the Iphone they could have at least given us the option to not have the screen come on.
If you are rooted, you can use Xposed to show that option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293956 (under applications, "Show screen on toggle"), then you can go to the messaging app and turn it off.

Gmail - cannot set custom sound?

I've noted in the Mate 10, but it's likely to be an Oreo thing, I can't seem to set a custom tone for new mail notification. In the Mate 9, it was under settings, my email address and inbox, sound and vibrate. That option is in Gmail under Oreo on the Mate 10 but the option to set a custom tone is missing...am I missing something?
No-one? Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing??
OK so I guess no-one uses Gmail?
Its changed in Oreo. Now there's a section in settings, after you click your email address called "Manage notifications". Tap on this. Then, under the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds", which should be 'on', tap on this. You can set the sound in the next section.
Jeez. Not one guide on interwebs saying how to do this!
I use Gmail and cannot separate the tones from texting and gmail. I do not have the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds". Anyone have a solution?
Dump the G-mail app (disable & clear data under "Apps") and install K-9 Mail. Everything's configurable (and I do mean everything!), works brilliantly, is lighter in weight than the G-mail app, and is completely free.
Here is how it is done...in the Oreo world...
Open Gmail > top left hamburger > settings > General settings > Manage notifications > Long press on the word "Mail" not the toggle itself but right on the word, and another secret, hidden, stupid, settings menu will open and it's in here where you can choose a separate tone for email as well as turn on the notification light for Gmail.
Thank you. Your solution worked well with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Gmail and Messanger
Couldnt find any solution to change the notification sound for twitter. Any help is welcome. I followed the same steps as mentioned above.

Sorry, don't get it. Can you make a screen dump of the location where to long press.
I need the option to select sound while editing the labels

It is exactly as I stated in my original directions...it could not be any clearer.
Once you tap on "Manage notifications" it will take you to the screen "App notifications" then you long press directly on the word MAIL which is directly under your email address.
You can also long press on the other "words" listed there for different notification settings. The words are to the left of the screen...the toggles are to the right.
Also, if you're looking to be able to set a different tone based on a label you created...I don't think that is possible.
FWIW, it Doesn't have to be a log press. just touch the mail part.
Mine says "Email" but great, it worked.

Thank you so much! I've had my Huawei P10 for almost a year and couldn't find where to add custom notification to Gmail. It's so frustrating when they do stupid ish like this because pretty much every other explanation says go to manage notification but not detailed enough to say click on title. I had the Huawei P6 and was impressed with Huawei enough to make it my go to brand but this ish frustrated me enough to consider another brand.
Well it just changes the default notification sound for me.

T-Mobile V30 Oreo Notifications

Ever since I upgraded my v30 to Oreo, system notifications are driving me crazy. Despite installing many notification apps such as "Hide Running in the Background", "Notificon", the built-in Notification Settings, etc. I can find no way to silence system notifications such as for Wi-Fi Calling, System UI (wireless charging), and Android System (Change Keyboard) Does anyone have any suggestions?
For the keyboard one if you go to Settings > System > Language & Input > Current Keyboard > Manage Keyboards and deselect the keyboards you don't use it'll disappear.

To start, just head to Settings –> Apps & notifications, then tap "See all apps." From there, press the three-dot menu button in the top-right corner and select "Show system." Next, scroll down a bit and select the "Android System" app. From there, tap the "App notifications" entry on the subsequent screen. From there you can turn off whichever one you want. Mine was the apps "using the battery" that was driving me nuts.

Yeah, I turned that one off also.
Overall I like the new Oreo notifications in that they take up less space in the pull down area.
Notifications better now.
I was previously complaining about all the new system notifications since doing an OTA update to Oreo. I recently messed up my phone and decided to do a factory reset and fresh install. Talk about an improvement! Ever since my factory reset all notifications are working as they should. I'm no longer being bombarded with extraneous beeps that were driving me crazy. My phone is my friend again!

Always On Edge - Edge Lighting App

So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

For "when a notification comes", no option to choose for Whatsapp or Gmail?

Try the system apps checkbox. The UI isn't the greatest and it took me a while to get mine sorted out, but seems to work really well one configured.

System apps checkbox in the AOE? Didn't see this option. If on the individual app, I've set all notifications to on
I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Found that. Thank you.
Which option do you choose for the following;
*allow this app to run without restriction or
*allow the system to prevent this app from running sometimes
I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

You can set the time that it shows up and also there is a repeat option as well.
Hi. Great app!! However... Even tho I've ticket to show the app's icon when a notification is received... I don't. Any ideas? Cheers
I can't get this to work at all on my s10. wanted to it flash different colours (with screen off) for variety of notifications (Skype, WA, Nine (email). Messenger). None work. can't get any light to come on at all....is there something I'm missing!?
Make sure that the built in edge lighting isn't turned on.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well

Reset all App Notification Settings on Android Pie

Hey Pepz,
I got an Pixel 2 XL with Android Pie on it and I want to reset all my apps notification settings. So what I ultimately want to do is change every apps settings to the same thing basically.
Show notifications: "ON"
Behaviour: "Make sound and pop up on screen"
On lock screen: "Show all notification content"
Sound: "Default notification sound"
Vibrate: "ON"
Blink light: "ON"
and so on...
There doesn't seem to be a way to default every app to have my desired settings (so a global change of the notification default), or is there? Does anyone know an app that can do this?
My goal is to have every app, system apps included, to do the same thing and afterwards change just some single apps to do something else.
So in short: Ignore the default a developer choose for me and override the whole notification settings everywhere to my taste.
(Otherwise I got to change 200+ apps manually and apps like Facebook, Snapchat or Tinder tend to have alot of subcategories so that would take days really )
