Hey so I live in Washington, and I just got an alert about 911 services being down, and to call local departments if needed.
First time getting one of those, but the root of the question is that, my phone was on silent. Not even vibrate. Should I expect to get my ears blown out even for Amber alerts? or did this one bypass silent mode due to it being an extremely high priority alert. On my S6 and S5 I've only gotten Amber alerts, but they didnt bypass if I had my phone set to silent from what I remember.
I'm just assuming there's different priority levels of the phone alert system that will or will not bypass sound settings? Can anyone clarify for the S9+ in particular?
Have you checked in the messages app, settings/emergency alert settings? You have some control over this there.
Ok, I'm bringing this thread back to life.
In Canada we have "amber alerts" which I believe are classified as the highest priority emergency alert ("presidential alerts" in 'murica?).
I have a Rogers S9+ (Snapdragon) and an Unlocked UAE S9+ (Exynos). The Rogers S9+ has emergency alerts settings in the default sms app. The UAE S9+ has no emergency alert setting.
Both devices ignore device notification settings (do not disturb, silent, vibrate only) and blast the alert.
Does any know how to gain more control over emergency alerts? Especially on my UAE s9+ where the settings are missing. I suspect it's somehow tied to the device's CSC.
Ideally, I'd like the the alerts to respect the do not disturb setting. I know the iPhone and Huawei devices do this, so I don't believe it's improper.

Hi all
I bought this phone after reading many good reviews. Happy with it. But I need a little help.
I am using a pre-paid SIM card (Singtel Hello). And each time I call out or use SMS, the balance in the card is reduced (of course). Issue is that G2 will pop out a message with a LOUD melody (from Telco I guess) to remind me of the remaining money balance. This is fine in most cases.
BUT I want to silence that as I am using this phone in a quiet environment. I set to silent (yes, no ringing tone, key touch etc) but still that operator message of balance left is still as loud as before. I even downloaded apps that silence the phone like Silent toggle Widget still not avail.
Any way to set to really NO SOUND for the Telco message?
Thanks a lot!
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.
So myself and several others at work are getting Amber alerts on our phones.. I'm the only one on the G5 and also the only one that is unable to clear the alert. I get the tones, loud as ever, despite my audio settings... But I get nothing as far as popups, notifications, etc. So... I have no way to clear them.
Anyone else with this issue? Any way to disable this completely? Thanks in advance to all who reply
EDIT: I resolved this issue (with the help of the comment below this post)... I use Textra as my primary messaging app, and use Nova to hide the stock messaging app. Textra does not display the alerts, but still allows the tones to generate. So, once I went into the stock app and changed the settings, all is fine now.
I have an OEM app on my phone called emergency alerts. I haven't received any yet, but does your phone have that app? When I open it and go to settings it gives me the options for Presidential Alerts, Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts, AMBER Alerts and Test Alerts. You can turn each of them (except Presidential Alerts) off and on.
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.
i have the redmi note 9s, im facing issues with all the notifications in general,
p.e.
- when i receive a whatsapp message i get the notification sound and vibration, sometimes just the soud and sometimes nothing.
and another thing (not sure if that´s how it works) if im i a regular phone call none of the notifications emite a sound nor vibration, im using headphones when in a regular phone call only.
I have checked all permission for apps that i want to get notifications from and restored the phone to factory settings. any thoughts?
Have you set the priority for those apps to "high"? That helped me for some apps.
Well, and setting up the notifications in the generel phone settings, and also activate autostart for those apps.
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
