Hi, I just got my Exynos variant yesterday and i was bombarded with messaging notifications the moment i connected to the internet. I was wondering if there is a feature or way in which notifications can be "tamed" similar to the "Minimum Time Between Notifications" function that can be found on some ROMs, where you can set a time on when will the notification sound will go off again when all of the notifications you are getting are coming from the same app. Very useful when you're talking to someone who's flooding your thread lol. Thanks in advance.
I believe that is impossible to set on Samsung phones with stock software.
I'm also very much wanting this feature. I had it before on my custom ROM (I think AncientOS or Lineage) using Redmi phone. There the system had the feature of restricting the notifications by setting the minimum time between them. Was very good

Hi All.
I've taken the plunge and ordered my S6 Edge 128gb in Emerald Green.
I'm sure everything will be just fine, but I was hoping for some pointers from the Android users for certain apps and features I use on the BlackBerry.
I've been using BlackBerry for a few years now (Z30 and a Passport) but I'm wanting a change and LOVED the look of the Edge. Just wondering if you fab people could give some assistance in either clarifying what Lollipop does natively or suggesting apps I could use to achieve a similar effect.
1. One of the things I think I will miss quite a bit is the notification light on the BlackBerry. Hence why I ultimately went with the Edge. I know the edge can have notification lights for the top 5 contacts (thats enough for me) showing when placed face down.. however. just two questions connected to this:
* Does the notification light continue to flash if you miss the call / message? i.e. continue until you pick the phone up and look
* I'm sure the notification doesn't work with the phone facing upwards or stood on a stand, but do you think this is something that a rom flash could fix? or even, maybe an app..
2. BlackBerry Hub really is very good. You have all your communications in one location, save opening text apps, Social media, then mail apps etc. How does Lollipop 5 handle messaging? Does it have a similar type of hub?
3. I run an app called Hubb++ on my Passport. Here I can tell notifications to switch off and on during certain time periods. Ideal after a long hard day in the office, get home and my phone automatically goes into silent from 8.30pm until 7am. (except for contacts I've highlighted as important and to break the silence). Again, does Android lollipop have anything like this or is there an app that does similar?
4. Bluetooth connection to the car. I have to be honest and say the BlackBerry really does nothing special in the arena for me. It's a basic rSAP connection type which allows contacts etc to be sent to my car (Audi A7). How is Bluetooth within Android Lollipop? Last time I used Android, rSAP was not working and I had to root the phone and install all sorts to get it going. To be honest, my days of rooting and messing are over (I know, that's part of the fun of Android) I'm too busy these days to spend the time learning and testing etc. I just want the connection to work. Any input please.
That's basically it. Any input and recommendations would be received with thanks.
1. There's notification light blinking on the top left of the phone for miss call, message /SMS or social app/ voicemail, email etc... You can get a short vibration when you pick up your phone and you have miss call or SMS message as well /not sure for other notifications/
2. I'm sure there's some apps you can find for the most messaging services on Google play, buy better give it a try on few and see what's best for you
3. There's apps to switch your profiles according to time settings, but I thing S6 has option to do that as well with detecting your GPS location /home, work, etc.../
4. The bluetooth should be just fine. I have no problem with Audi A5

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to answer.

A little backstory: Everyday for the last 4 years I've been using a basic, outdated, gingerbread-era, RSS reader called "RSS Junkie" made by the obscure developer bitpowder.com in the Netherlands.
Why?
For one feature: Push Notifications
The backbone of this little gem was what it did in the cloud (google's app engine I'm guessing). This server constantly polled your RSS feeds as often as every few minutes, and when it detected a new article it sent a short excerpt along with a notification (through Google Cloud Messaging) to the app on your phone. The result was that my phone alerted me within minutes (typically less than 5) of new articles. And with no impact to my phone's battery, since the phone isn't doing any background refreshing.
But now it's dead.
And I need help finding a replacement.
And I know what you're thinking, "why would I want my phone constantly blowing up with a flood of articles?" Well the thing is with a site like, for example: Android Police, is that you can get a RSS feed for just certain tags or categories. So getting instant alerts to www.androidpolice.com/tags/deal/feed/ in the past has been absolutely INVALUABLE to me for things like getting my Nexus 6 for $199 (which at the time sold out in just a few hours), allowing me to upgrade on Verizon while keeping my unlimited data (remember that website bug two years ago that only lasted a few hours), and many many other time sensitive and short lived deals.
TL;DR Looking for a RSS reader with Push Notifications to let you know within 10 minutes or so of a new article.

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for!!!!
I actually tried the Inoreader app earlier today but didn't see anything about Push notifications in the app itself, but followed your link and setup a rule on the desktop.
Two concerns:
1.) Although my feeds say in settings that they are updated in real time (all are quite popular sources) does that mean the notifications will also be in realtime? If so that's even faster than the 5 minutes delay I was getting with RSS Junkie!
2.) Is it possible to change the notification sound from the default?
Glad you've liked it!
1) Yes, "Realtime" means that feeds push their updates to Inoreader. They should do it immediately after publishing, but that depends on the publisher. Push notifications should come within seconds to your device after they are received by Inoreader. For feeds that are not using the realtime protocol and their update interval is higher than you want, you can use the feed boosting option.
2) Unfortunately that's not customizable. You can choose a different prefix for different rules, but not sound.

Nice. Any plan for a widget?
To be honest, widgets were always low priority and it's not very different at the moment. But we are planning something really big for the Android app very soon and widgets might get an overhaul after that.
Has anyone been using an alternative to Inoreader or cheaper option with push notification?

Did you ever find anything? Came here from a google search for mobile notifications
An IFTTT recipe with their RSS trigger and Pushbullet gives you more or less instant RSS update notifications... And it's free
Welp, after using Inoreader for almost 2 years it looks like I'm yet again looking for a RSS reader with Push Notifications, since this extremely simple feature was removed from regular Inoreader functionality and placed behind a $15/year paywall... =(
Have you found anything?
$15 a year to support a developer that created a nice solution to what you need seems reasonable.
it's 50 usd/year now
I'm really struggling to sort this out, all I want to do is have my phone on silent or do not disturb overnight, EXCEPT I want one app to not be silent and to allow notifications, which is the Telegram app.
I downloaded Tasker hoping that would sort it out, and although I've made a profile for the times I want do not disturb, I've been unable to find a way to make Telegram still give notifications.
I looked into the priority mode built into Oreo, but it seems only certain apps can be selected as priority, and Telegram isn't one of them.
Can anyone help me how to do this, whether it's with a different app etc?
My phone is a Sony XZ2 Compact thanks
Hi all, just wondered if you could guide me please in the best Smart home doorbell which has a decent android supporting app that sends instant notifications to android phones? In your personal opinions, please. I am an owner of a oneplus 7 phone, I have purchased numerous doorbells from amazon,
Ring Door Bell 1&2
Video Doorbell, KAMEP 1080P HD WiFi Doorbell
Both of which just do a bad job of sending notifications to my android phone, they both have decent reviews, yet, the delay in notifications are terrible for the Ring, and the other doorbell I do not get any notifications at all!
However, if I install the supported apps on an iPhone the apps notify my old iPhone 8 instantly with no problems on both Doorbells. They work perfectly Why is this?
I have tested both doorbells on 2 android phones, Samsung galaxy s10 and my one plus 7 phones. All stock android, I have switched off battery optimation for the supported apps, in addition to setting notifications "on" and Important, to pop up during all phone profiles. Wifi password setup for the doorbells is also on 2.4ghz frequency, with no special characters for the password. I have exhausted all avenues on trying to find the best camera with decent instant motion alert for android.
Before I go on to purchase another, I was hoping if anyone could guide me tell me what front camera they have in support for their android device and comment on whether the notifications are instant. When I say instant, I mean at least within 10 seconds. Like any recommendations to purchase, please.
Also, the doorbell function I am not fussed about. I just want a camera to put at my front door that notifies me of motion near my front door to my phone, not a cctv type bullet camera, but a doorbell kinda type, of course, the doorbell feature would be preferable, though amazon do the blink camera which just a camera for motion detection yet small looking which too is fine, though, again I am hesitant because what is the notification like on it to android phones. It just seems to me that the app support for these devices on android are just no good. I have yet come across any doorbell android app that has 4.5 star on the store. All mostly below 4.
Your thoughts, ideas and advice are greatly appreciative. Thank you to all.
Yo everyone o/
Just got my hands on a GTS and while it's a very nice piece of hardware I'm curious about something. As it stands right now, when I go to the notification toggles on the Zepp app to select which ones I want to redirect to my watch I get a short pre-populated list and an extra one in the bottom that says "Other". If I enable this "Other", every notification gets redirected which is not what I'm looking for.
My use case is that I'd like only my Slack notifications to go to my watch, but there is no toggle for specific apps that are not on the list. Any clue if that list can be rebuilt, or if there is anything else I can do to achieve this?
Thanks!
You can make feature request in Amazfit support forum. I highly doubt it would happen anytime soon

Case in point, I've sent that suggestion several times in the last 2 years I've owned the Amazfit Bip. I always receive a thank you email something to the effect of "we are constantly improving and updating.... " but so far nothing. I'm in the same boat and would like to filter the notifications to only a couple items, most especially from my continuous glucose monitor as opposed to getting all notifications. This is an IOS application limitation as there are several Android options such as Gadget Bridge, Alert Bridge, etc.

Unfortunately, I think from what I saw on my friend's iPhone, notifications redirection on iOS is quite limited. it is true that Zepp on Android allows you to have all apps notifications to be redirected to the watch selectively one by one. However, it is good also to limit them otherwise your watch will keep on vibrate at each notification. it can be painful at a certain level...
