On my S8 I was able to allow certain apps to be excepted from DnD. I cannot find the place to make that change on the 9. I changed ged DnD to custom, but cannot find another place to select the apps I want to be exceptions. Not under the app, not under special permissions (only a short lost of system tools). This one has me stumped.

Which apps are you speaking of? I can see the DnD exception in various apps on mine. You have to dig deep in menus to find them. For example...
Samsung Messages > Settings > Notifications > General Notifications > DnD custom exception.
Gmail > Settings > Manage Notifications > Email >DnD custom exception
Skype > Settings > Do Not Disturb > Receive push notifications while DnD is on.
Then again other like Whatsapp are in the S9 Settings > Apps area
Apps >Whatsapp > Message notifications > DnD custom exception
Having said this it is a it and miss if the DnD exception actually works it seems. I cannot get it to drive side light notifications for Gmail.

Active 911 and I am Responding are the two I want to make exceptions for. Unfortunately, they worked before. Maybe it was going to 8.0 that did it as my S8 didn't get updated until after I switched to the S9.

Update-the exception switch is there for I am Responding. Still searching for Active 911.

I had the same problem (switched phones, couldn't find the DnD exceptions). Ended up here with a Google search.
I found the exceptions under Settings, Notifications, then tap the app you want to create an exception for. It'll be in that next menu.
Previously, there was an "exceptions" menu where you select multiple apps at once to create exceptions for. Now you have to create an exception for each app one at a time. Thanks Android!
Follow up to DND settings issue
Quick follow up to this thread question - after you have set the exception per app and set the custom settings to bypass DND for particular groups, those excepted contacts and apps should override the sound setting, right? I just noticed I missed a tornado warning overnight because the phone was set to DND and silent. I found the emergency provider app to turn on the DND exception but when i go to test the alert sound for emergency alerts via the sms settings, the alert is still on vibrate somehow. Is there something I am missing to allow me to hear emergency alert notifications while in silent/DND mode? I have a Samsung galaxy s7, latest OS with AT&T if that helps. Thanks!

I've been wondering the same thing. There are some things I want to alert me regardless of the phone being muted.
I read a thread a while back where a previous Blackberry user who switch to another smartphone couldn't believe that the only apps that would override mute was 'alarm clock' and 'timer'. Basically, they wanted calendar events to notify them.
So, ya, if there's a tornado coming or you have an extremely important event you'd like to plan for 3 months from today, there's not alarm for that that overrides mute as far as I can tell.
I had the same issue. Active 911 as well. I found the setting within the Active911 app settings. Settings>Notification Settings>Do Not Disturb Exception.

Remove DND Ring APP Exception
I need to remove Ring Doorbell App from DND exceptions. I have been looking for hours for a way to do this. Been through the Ring App itself, Phone Settings>Apps, Settings>Notifications, Settings>DND... I can not find a way to remove the DND permission for the Ring App. Help?
On Note 9 (8.1) I go to "Settings" > "Apps" > choose an app > "Notifications" > tap on notification category in "Categories" section > "Do not disturb custom exception"

I've set up my company email using the phone's default email client.
Last night few emails arrived around 3 am and my S3 almost gave me a heart attack with the sound notification.
How do I disable email sound notification?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I think the only way is to disable notification sound altogether.
menu > settings > sound > volume > default notifications > silent
Or
Use a 3rd party email client.
This puzzled me for ages as I couldn't find where to change the email app ringtone, but this is how I did it:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent

I actually had a look there earlier but missed the notification settings...
Huraaah, I no longer have to listed to that annoying default email sound!!
You are most welcome, I know how annoying it is and only found this by accident, it's hardly the most obvious way to change a notification.
There are several apps that you can use that support sound profiles.
I use phoneweaver. It does a lot more but I use it primarily for sound. I have several sound profiles setup:
one for the car - all volume all the way up
one for everyday use - volume about 50%
nighttime - volume totally off during certain hours (good for your case, phone ringer still active in case an emergency phone call comes in.)
silent - puts phone on vibrate completely
Does this work for you? I have Bedside because I need to be able to get calls at night but email notifications keep waking me up. I used to be able to silence notifications on my Droid Incredible.
Does anyone know if Tasker (I haven't used before) or Llama (same) would be able to control the set up listed above:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent
To do this at night and then turn it back on in the morning? I like getting email notifications during the day, but I can't find a program that keeps the ringer on and the notifications off at night.

Can you suggest a 3rd party email client that allows notifications to be silent?

How do you turn email notification sounds ON?
Hi. In searching for a way to turn on email notification sounds, I wound up here at this forum talking about turning email audio notifications OFF. I have a Galaxy Note 2, unlocked bootloader, running the standard unlocked ROM from Adam's unlock method. By default, my phone does not vibrate or sound off an audio alert when emails come in. They just show up in my notifications bar, and the notification LED flashes blue. So the only way for me to know a new email has arrived is to happen to look at the flashing blue LED.
Within the email app general preference settings I have "Vibrate" checked, and a ring tone selected under "Select ringtone".
Within the sound settings of the device, I have a ring tone selected for each of, "Device ringtone" and "Default notifications", and I also checked off "Sound and vibration"
Within the volume settings of the device, nothing is turned to silent ("Music, video, games, and other media", "Ringtone", "Notifications", and "System")
Within the Application manager settings, Email, there are no options to do anything about sound or notifications. All it shows is, "Force stop," "Disable," "Clear data," "Clear cache".
Thanks.
Apologize if this is a duplicate. Search did not bring back the info I was looking for.
Having the problem with Google voice text. I want to disable the peek notifications while the phone is on. So I'm not interrupted doing other things.
I have set all the settings to make noise only, but i still get the peek notification when a text is received.
I did notice that on the HUD when you swipe the notification and click on the settings icon for the notification, the Uncategorized section in the notification area for the google voice app flashes to focus attention.
I double checked on my Essential Ph-1 the uncategorized section can be set to Allow sound, but on my S9+ there is not a setting in this category for sound only. Just let app decide. If i turn sound off for the categorized section then I do not get GV text message notifications.
To clarify what I want to do is suppress the peek notifications for GV text messages while the phone is on, but allow a sound to play.
Weird that my Ph-1 would allow this but the S9+ does not even allow the change of the setting.
Hi folks,
As part of a project to minimise my phone use, I'm wading deep into the murky waters of Honor 9 notification management. Bear with me.
Phone: STF-L09
EMUI: 8.0.0
Android: 8.0.0
Launcher: Nova Prime
2 x Google accounts, personal and work
GMAIL
I don't want to see any notifications from my work e-mail at all, but for my personal email, I'd like to see a status bar icon when I've unlocked the phone and have new messages - no lock screen notifications though! I'm tweaking settings via Gmail App > Settings > {choose account} > Manage Notifications, which takes me into the Huawei 'Notifications management' settings menu for the specified account.
For the work e-mail, I've just toggled 'Allow notifications' to 'off', and job done
For the personal, I've toggled the following settings;
- Allow Notifications - Yes
- Display in the Status Bar - Yes
- Banners - Yes
- Lock Screen Notifications - Never
- Priority Display - Off
- Ringtone - Yes
- Vibrate - Yes
If I go via the phone settings to Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > Gmail > Notifications, It reflects these settings, with notifications allowed, but then 2 different entries under 'email' reflecting the above.
Despite this, I'm never notified of new emails to my personal account at all. What have I done wrong?
GOOGLE CALENDAR
I want to see lock screen notifications for both of my calendars, but I'd like to hide the content of events in my personal calendar. The settings don't seem to have the same granularity provided to the Gmail app - am I missing something, or is this just a Google oversight/quirk?
Probably more to come as I continue to tweak my set-up
Hello,
I have been the owner of the Realme GT 5G phone for 2 weeks - it has Andoird 11 (v RMX2202_11_A.11) with realme UI 2.0. I spent hours trying to configure a few things, but I failed. As I didn't get the desired results, I decided to try to find help on the forum.
So, starting from the beginning:
1. I have a problem with the Facebook Messenger app, because when I work in vibration mode, notifications coming from the app are only signaled with a very short and delicate vibration. This vibration lasts for about 1 millisecond, which I can barely feel when I'm holding phone in my hand and expecting the notification. I checked vibration for notifications from other applications and they work properly.
a) I have all notification settings turned on in the Messenger app.
b) In settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> vibration intensity -> the sliders for the vibration with the ring and the vibration with the notification I have set to maximum
c) Battery settings for Messenger app are "optimization off"
When I have ring mode on, the Messenger notifications are properly signaled with a sound.
So what is wrong with vibration pattern for this app? Why the notifications are not properly signaled? What can I do to get normal vibration notification?
2. I have 2 games in "Game space app", version of the app is 4.5.27_6d29cc7_210603.
a) When I'm using app #1 - the Messenger chat bubbles are on top of the app, so I can see them for the entire time <- and that's what I would like to achieve.
b) When I'm using app #2 - the Messenger chat bubbles are hiding under the app #2, so I have to show the navigation bar (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), to see chat bubbles on the screen.
In settings for Messenger I have set "Display over other apps" as on.
Which setting is responsible for this feature?
3. Another problem with notifications from some apps (inter alia: Gmail, and game #1).
I'm using original Always On Display mode.
The problem is that some notifications don't come when the phone is locked and Always On Display is working.
Notifications from text messages, calls, facebook messenger or game #2 arrive normal, at the time of their receipt.
But from Gmail or game #1 notifications only arrive when I press the power button and wake up the screen. So when the screen is locked, there are no chances to get notification from those apps. This is silly because notifications are there to notify you of an event when you are not using your phone. But in this case, they only notify when the phone is in use.
a) Battery settings for these apps are "optimization off", "allow auto startup", "allow background activity".
b) In notification settings these apps have all settings on. They can notify everywhere and everytime but that doesn't solve the problem.
What else can I do, to receive these notifications on time?
Thank you for your help
For some reason I noticed the device does not vibrate for any type of notifications.
SMS, Email, Calendar etc.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I tried going into setting and sounds , i am only able to set vibrate patterns on ring only, nothing for sms or notifications.
is there an external app or something we can do to fix this?
let me know

Hi @rinnycoop121,
First and foremost, are you certain that all of your vibration settings are correctly set?
First, check all of the following sections within settings:
Sounds & Vibration (Vibration & Silent)
Make sure that "Vibration" is on
Sounds & Vibration (Sound Effects and Modes)
Make sure that "Default notification sound" is set to a sound you can adequately hear
System > Accessibility (Vibration & haptic strength)
Make sure that it is on for "Notification vibration"
Then, for each app you wish to change the notification settings for, do the following::
Go into the "App info" (Settings) of the app, select "Notifications", and then make sure everything you want is checked.
You would do the same thing for every other app where you want notifications to appear.
If the previous procedures did not solve your issue, there is an external app that you may utilize. "BuzzKill," which specializes in notification automation, is the one I'm most acquainted with. According to the Google Play store, BuzzKill "allows you to see the notifications you want to see when you want to see them and filter out those you don't". I suppose "BuzzKill" may be the answer you're looking for to solve your notification issue.
