Samsung Galaxy s4 hangouts periodic sms notifications - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I looked everywhere.... Googled everywhere. Why doesn't hangouts have periodic SMS notifications?

I guess I need to just use something like easy reminder... Wish it was built in though

I've always found repeating notifications incredibly annoying (and so do the people around me). Is the notification LED and icon in the tray not enough?

Most of the texts i'm getting are pretty important so i need to respond almost immediately. I have it clipped on my belt most of the day. I find Easy Reminder pretty useful for what i need it for. I figure something as simple as periodic notifications came stock with most sms apps anyway.

Stopping Those Persistent Notifications

I have paintstakenly set all of my events (including birthdays) to have a notification of NONE. However, the Incredible seems to flash the screen and "loud ping" every 10 minutes to notify me of these events anyway. I have had to resort to running Timeriffic to turn off all sounds until I wake up.
I am wondering if there is a way to get birthdays (which I believe are the problem) to actually NOT notify if you have set them to NOT notify. I dont want to completely disable notifications in case I do have a meeting or something, but this is somewhat ridiculous.
Thanks
None of my events make any sounds if they are not set to notify.
<sigh>
Ummm ... ok ... so from that response I take it that you are unable to answer my question but replied anyway.
If anyone can actually answer it, I would appreciate any suggestions. I suspect that this may be more for events which recur yearly; perhaps those are prone to the problem.
Events can come from many sources, Google calendar, exchange, etc...
In exchange there is no difference between a birthday or any other event, they are just events.
Not sure about Google Calendar.
in addition i was wondering if its possible to make calls a notification so they dont bother me all the t ime when i am playing games. i cant do airplane mode cause i still need data and need to see who is calling but i hate that i have to mute it and then do the task swkitcher and go back to my game, i wish it was just a notifcation or an option for that or an app? anyone know of one?

New annoyance from Talk and Gmail notifications

Ever since I started linking my Nexus 7 and phone through Tablet SMS, everytime I get a phone call or text message I get the Tablet SMS notification, and also the annoying Talk and Gmail notifications for the calls and texts now which I want to stop because they are flooding my inbox, and for the life of me I cant figure out how, would really appreciate some help on this.

I want to say that's in the settings - SMS Delivery. This bugged me as well and I think that's how I fixed it.
Can't you just create a filter to automatically mark them as read, and move them to a folder?
You likely already found your answer, but I found this thread searching for a solution.
For anyone else out there wondering, if you open the DeskSMS app on the phone, you can simply disable all email/talk push notifications.

[Q] Hangouts Notification

The hangouts application is my preferred way to SMS and text. When I receive a message, I receive a notification like I should. After I open the hangouts app and then engage in further conversation, I get a notification sound after each message I receive although I am still chatting to the person. The notification sound rings with each incoming message weather I am in the application, within the very chat, or weather I am on the homescreen or anywhere else. The only way I've known to subdue it is by turning off the sound notification for hangouts messages completely.
I've had this problem since 4.4.0 update. Today after I flashed Lollipop I was expecting it to go away but it didn't. I thought about it and then decided to ask if anybody else have had the problem before.
Something I strongly suspect is when I cleared the "Google services Framework" in hopes of getting 4.4.0 OTA ASAP I might have messed up. At that time this was suggested by many websites which later turned out to be counter helpful and create problems with the GCM.
So, if anybody knows how it could be fixed, and I could get notifications in the normal way it would be much helpful.
Thank you.

Dismissing Notifications

When I get app notifications for things like text messages or emails, entering the app directly and opening the corresponding message does not dismiss the notifications from the notification center. Is this normal behavior? I thought Lollipop did, but I could be mistaken. I either have to swipe the notification off, or click it to open the app to dismiss it.
I noticed the same, found it irritating and I got way to many notifications from all sorts of stuff, App's and OS. Eventually I disabled all notifications. The phone already makes a sound so i don't need any visuals.
I am getting the same issue, any fix/ workaround to get rid of the notifications?
In my case this seems to depend on the application. Whatsapp does this annoying thing, while Gmail and Inbox do not. I think that most apps are not yet updated properly for Marshmallow support.

S7 Edge Vibrates When Picked Up

I notice that if my (AT&T S7 edge) phone has any pending notifications it will vibrate when I pick it up. This is useful for some types of notifications, but there are some notifications I don't want to be reminded about. Can anybody explain how to manage this? Or at least turn it off since it doesn't do what I need?
Thanks

That is a feature called Smart Alert, it should vibrate only for missed calls and messages, you can disable it in Settings/Advanced Features or Motion gestures) and then Smart alert.
Thanks. If it's only for missed calls and texts I'm okay with it. If it's for emails I don't want it. I thought maybe it was only for messages from contacts on the People edge panel.
