I've been interested in using an SMS app called QKSMS, but it did not appear to support custom notification sounds. The dev for the app showed up in a Reddit thread and I asked him about it. He blamed the phone. Here's what he said:
"Prior to Android Oreo, apps had full control over the notifications. If an app wants to be able to use the Oreo APIs however, then it must forfeit control for most of the notification customization over to the system. That's why on your Mate 10 it takes you to the system settings screen to manage QKSMS' notifications, and on your HTC 10 it's handled by the app itself
Unfortunately, there's no way around this, as far as I'm aware. It's really strange though that your phone doesn't let you select a notification sound option - it might not let you control the sound per notification channel and just use the system default, which would be really unfortunate."
Anybody have more insight into this? Do our phones really not support custom ringtones in 2018?
I installed the QKSMS app on my HTC10 and it worked perfectly, ringtones and all.
I've also found that the Android Messages app, like QKSMS, does NOT allow me to set custom ringtones.

Textra allows me to select a customized tone. Mate 10 non-pro. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You may need to elaborate.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. It works with Textra and with the stock Huawei messaging app, but not with QKSMS or Android Messages. I mentioned this to the QKSMS dev and this was his response:
"The reason it works with Textra is because they are targetting an older version of Android when they build their app, which means they're allowed to use the previous system for notifications.
This works as a temporary solution but this prevents the developer from being able to support any new APIs that are released, and eventually Google will block updates that aren't targetting a recent enough version of Android"
You're absolutely correct. This is a function of the Mate 10 software and quite annoying. I found a workaround through the app, AutoNotification. If you install that, and then go to "Notification Categories", it brings up all your installed apps and, voila, lets you set your notification sound choice. Make sure you opt out AutoNotification from battery optimization though.

Hello.
I'm using a German version of the Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM.
I own it since few days, coming from iPhones and I'm still learning how to use it.
One very useful thing I've found is the blocking mode. I use it at night to stop notifications sound and to permit only my family calls to go through.
Whatsapp notifications, though, are still coming through and I'm forced to manually reduce the notifications volume to zero.
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've tried setting the blocking mode with both time range and "always", but no differences at all.
Thanks.
I was woken up this morning by whatsapp messages, so if anyone has an answer it'd be appreciated.
I am having the same problem.. i think the problem is with whatsapp itself it must be a bug as when u go to notification settings the "ringer" whats comes up as default tone not the notification tone.
hope this get resolved quick! i have emailed whatsapp but got standard email template... delete app ... reboot re install ..etc
No one has a solution?
I have the same problem but a month or two before it did worked. I guess that maybe an update of whatsapp has disabled this. It very annoying waking up because of that horrible whatsapp noise.
Update
Just installed JB 4.1.2 and the problem is still there.
So it seems to be a Whatsapp problem, and it's a very stupid management of the notifications.
The notifications should be managed by the system and if the system says "shut up" ALL notifications should comply.
For me this is a point in favor of iOS.
P.S.: not a fan boy of course. I own both devices and it's normal I compare them.
WhatsApp uses a different method to sounf notificiations, this is why it can sound notifications even playing music (other apps would mute/pause the music for the notification)
I guess someonr could patch WhatsApp, my smali knowledge isn't that good to do it myself.

I understand, but if Google implements a kind of "do not disturb" mode it should know that some apps can use music as notification sound and block that too...
Problem lies with whatsapp. I did mail them about it, no response :/ m forced to put my phone on silent always :/

[SOLUTION] Blocking Mode WhatsApp Sounds
First of all, I do know that this is a fairly old thread, HOWEVER, it is still the first result on google for "blocking mode whatsapp", so i figure this is where people look. So i hope you will forgive me.
I have found a solution to the very annoying problem which many people seem to suffer from.
I have found a way to include the whatsapp sounds under the android blocking mode.
You will need the LightFlow app, (which i believe is a must have app for the S3 anyways (OP said he uses a s3)).
after you got light flow:
1: In What's app:
- disable notification sounds for incoming messages(not in light flow, in whats app). set it to silent or disable at all
2: The go to light flow and:
- enable sound notifications for whats app
- set what ever notification sound you would like to have for whats app when blocking mode is NOT enabled
- under Sounds-->Volume control method-->tick "Android standard notification volume"
Now it you enable blocking mode, it also blocks what's app sounds and if blocking mode is disabled, everything is normal.
hope that helps....took me quite a while to figure it out.
edit: oh and i do not have any affiliation with the light flow app or their developers!!! i just used it for changing lights and came across the sound feature by chance!!!
its a shame. other blockers block it, why can't the native JB also do it?
furstrating. didn't want to install another software on the phone when the block mode works so well, except for whatsapp of course.
Does this exist with 4.2.2 as well?

Yeah, I've got a Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and the issue is on that as well. It's a problem with the way whatsapp handles notifications, not the Android firmware version.
Thanks Tyler D for the solution, will be testing this later today.
I am experiencing the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2.
Do you have any news? I tried to email whatsapp support a few days ago but I am still waiting their reply.

Hi,
I just got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 recently and am having problems with push notifications for apps such as Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, LINE and so on. I have spent hours trying all the suggestions out there multiple times as to how to fix it but it still doesn't work. This includes:
1: Disable power saving mode.
2: Disable 'destroy activity' function.
3: Check Notification settings
4: Setup notifications for each App in settings.
5: Ensure app has notifications enabled.
6: Enable Autostart
7: Disable data saver and enable dual data on all apps.
8: Commit apps to memory.
9: Customise power saving settings.
Even after doing all this, I am still unable to receive messages and calls from apps in real time. I use another phone of mine to call myself literally 5 seconds after closing the app and still my Xiaomi phone does not register the call until I manually open the app and get a missed call.
Can someone please help me with this. Thanks.
I enabled Autostart for all the messaging apps and apps i need to run in the background and everything is working great for me.
I get calls from whatsapp all the time and everything working great.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have literally every single app enabled for Autostart just in case but still don't receive anything until I open the app manually. Tried reinstalling the apps and rebooting multiple times too.
With what apps you are having this problem? Me for example I don't have any problem with whatsapp but with Skype sometimes I don't get notifications because miui kills the process in the background which is very annoying.
I hope xiaomi will fix it in miui 9 (if we'll ever get this update on our rn4 anyway).

It works sometimes for Whatsapp and LINE but only sometimes, which doesn't make any sense. I'll get a notification for a message normally once and then won't get anything for awhile and be bombarded with missed messages when I open the app manually again. Doesn't seem to ever work for Gmail or Facebook messenger.

Welcome to MIUI notification problems...
I sure wish I had of read about these problems before I bought this piece of **** redmi. There literally is nothing that fixes it.
Hello all!
Since I have a Samsung (Galaxy Core Prime G360V to be specific), I have to suffer from Samsung's crappy stock messaging app, ugly yellow/orange color and all. My desperation to replace this app led me to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-cm-app-installer-t2959922 and the CM App Installer. After playing with the CM messaging app on my sister's phone I have fallen in love with its level of customization and UI in general.
However, it has not been easy to install. For one, the APK wants to install as an update to the stock messenger. Obviously this "update" does not work and I am forced to find another way to use this texting app.
So my question is: How do I install a different messaging app and replace my stock one? Or maybe: How do I install an update APK as a different app entirely?
Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate any input from noobs and the experienced alike

You should be able to to use the Cyanogenmod App Installer to install the messaging app you want selecting the non-root install option. Then you can go into into settings, then find your old messaging app and select clear defaults then when you run the CM messaging app it should ask you if you want to set that as default so select the CM messaging app and always. If the CM messaging app doesn't work I would recommend taking a look at this article here that feature some great messaging apps. If you need any more help just let me know happy to help .

Sounds like a logical solution, but the thing is I can't install the app because it is the same package as the one I currently use (com.android.mms). If I knew how to change the app package name then maybe your suggestions would work. Maybe com.cyanogen.mms?

Sorry for the delayed reply, I would recommend just installing a different messaging app that way it doesn't have the same package name. A lot of newer messaging apps will have very similar features to what you are looking for. Then once it's installed go into settings find old messaging app, clear defaults, start the new messaging app and it should prompt you to always use that as default.

Yes, I am now using Google Messenger. The only problem I really have is that I have to toggle my mobile data to send/receive MMS. The stock messenger never had that problem. I'm going to stick with Google for a while and if the MMS thing becomes a bigger problem I will probably switch back to stock for consistency. I'm getting the Moto G5 Plus soon so it won't matter in a few months anyway

Did you try that?
When Android System notification is triggered Long press on "Android System" notification in the notification panel -> hit "More Settings" -> Disable "Allow notifications" and set "Lock screen notifications" to "Never".
It's from @jemeljsh look that thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74667287&postcount=3
For me that solution works better than installing a different app.

Somewhy ACR isnt working for me verry well, sometimes ACR causes me to hear nothing from other side, switching to loudspeaker and back fixes that, also verry bad quallity of recorded audio. Using another app works without problem.
Also autosync with google drive and acr doesnt works anymore, but was working on mate 9 pro without a problem :/
Actually verry dissapointed by huawei this time, no idea if its huawei sided problems or not, but still, my mate 9 pro feels way smoother than mate 10 pro..

it does not correctly detect where i am and the exact time of the move, with all of my devices and also the last oneplus 3 they was very accurately ever.
it may be that mate10 does not has glonass or galileo? it work only with gps i seem..

it is killing all apps and get no advantage of any app i want it to push a notification and reminder for me .
actually any app i use for reminders and notification are not working perfectly
for example i have tried 3 apps for prayer reminders and non of them worked for a complete day , it works once and the next it gets another delay , and last it gets missed .
also i have a call recorder which is working perfectly on my Xperia Z3 but here it is not recording every single call .
also i have app called BlipBlip for hourly peeping ... same issue .
any to-do app , caller identifier (truecaller,numberbook ....)

If you enable Power saving mode then your device automatically kills background applications.
Try by disable power saving mode.
In settings, You will also manage that which apps show notifications and which are not.
All customization of notifications are avaliable in setting e.g. Notification on lock screen, notification on status bar, status bar icon. Hope it helps. Hit Thankx

This is a hard one for sure! Is it Android or is it Huawei? I think it's a combination of both! We all shouted praise when we first heard of Doze...but now we curse the day we heard of it! LOL
On most of my phones I have had issues with Gmail notifications not coming in as quickly as I thought they should, and I still experience slight delays on my Mate 10 (non-pro) version. However, it seems that after I open Gmail for the first time in the day and get my first notification then it works OK for the rest of the day. My texts, using Textra, always come in right away and I have both apps set up the same way on the phone pertaining to battery, background, and notifications. So Gmail is the harder one to get working as it should. But is it Doze, or is it Huawei and EMUI? Personally, I think it should be left up to one or the other but NOT both! And whichever one implements a battery saving feature should provide CLEAR and CONCISE instructions on making it work the way we want it to. Huawei has implemented several convoluted methods to the way battery saving and notifications work and they are not mutually exclusive...in other words, they can conflict with each other...that is bad enough. But when you layer this ON TOP of Android's Doze (which has no apparent way to configure it) this just leads to a mess in trying to figure out what is causing the delays! So then, I feel that Android to needs to take control of this issue and force all OEM's to follow a standard for battery control so that it is the same across the board no matter what phone we are using.

This is not an Android doze problem. Its Huawei battery management process killing all running apps. I had a sony xz premium running Oreo and not a single problem. Now I'm using Pixel 2 XL and not a signle problem. Its definitely Huawei that restricts notifications due to battery management. This is what stopped me getting the Mate 10 pro. Awesome phone but with notifications not coming through makes the phone useless
I also had the XZ Premium and I agree that it did not have this issue. But my Mate 10 (non-pro) really does not have it that bad. I really do not even notice it. I do shut off my phone every night. I have said in many different forums that I feel that a daily restart of all cell phones is good for keeping things running smoothly. Takes a minute of your time while brushing your teeth in the morning. Maybe this will help someone with more serious issues??
cmon people ...it's not that hard
...go to settings - battery - launch -
from there you can disable or enable specific battery management for each app to be able to launch, be launched by other apps and run in background
they are set to to be managed automatically by default, any app you are having issues being killed just open the launch settings and set them manually.
I set this up when i got the phone and i never have any issues with missing any notifications that i want to see plus my battery lasts for 2-3 days.

serusly ?
do you really think we will post and we all agree on an issue with out trying all ways to solve it first ?
if you read my post will see that i already mentioned i have done something and didnt resolve the problem :
of course i am not using the power save mode ,
i put the app in the "Ignore battery optimization" list .
i put the app in the manual option in "Launch" and allowed everything to run in background .
i enabled the app in the n"Notification Management" section

The problem with your reasoning is that Gmail is not listed there! This is the only one that seems to delay for me, but as I mentioned it is not that bad. Then again, I am not waiting for, or getting, anything in my personal email that needs super immediate attention. But there may be someone who needs their Gmail to notify them as soon as they receive an email. Thus the complaint!
Welcome the sh*ty world of Huawei

i just moved from Sony to Huawei last week . i got Mate 10 pro
device is nice and battery is great and fast and everything was perfect with me from the first look.
then by installing my daily use apps i noticed some problems are showing and not only me as i sow some users here are complaining it .
it is killing all apps and get no advantage of any app i want it to push a notification and reminder for me .
actually any app i use for reminders and notification are not working perfectly
for example i have tried 3 apps for prayer reminders and non of them worked for a complete day , it works once and the next it gets another delay , and last it gets missed .
any permanent solution please ?

I'm not surprised with Huawei and notifications problems.... This 2 goes together.
First with Mate 8 the first 4 months, then with Mate 9 the first 2 months and now with Mate 10 pro as you mentioned
To be honest I have Mate 10 (no pro) and from the first day I didn't have any problem with "stock mail app, Facebook, Facebook messanger, Viber, Twitter, Instagram, whatsup, weather widget"
But please try this one.... It was the solution I follow with Chinese version of Mate 9 : Open every app that you want instant notification and "locked" it to recent apps and keep it there.... If you have already try this then there isn't much more to do so think of a hard reset or change device.... As for Android 8 I have a s9+ together with Mate 10 and both are manage notifications perfectly....

That is an interesting proposition! I have never used that particular lock before...in fact I can honestly say that at first I didn't know what you were talking about. I guess I never paid any attention to the little lock on those previously opened apps. Not sure if it will work yet or not but I did mention that after I opened Gmail the first time it appeared as if the notifications came in properly. So if this works then I should not have to open Gmail first thing in the morning to get the notifications flowing! Thank you so much for this suggestion! :good:
