[Q] Help me get some sleep! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Samsung Galaxy S5 now has the interruptions feature... I find it's not what I need or at least I am not sure how to get it to work the way I want.
I want to receive ANY phone calls, and ANY SMS Texts.
I would just like to block email notifications at night. Is there an app or some setting that will help me do this? I need to get phone calls and texts for emergencies.

You can define in ACCOUNTS, SETTINGS, SYNC SETTINS, sync schedule as manual and define a peak schedule, where you can define the days, and the peak time (ex 8:00- 20:00) , and the frequency of sincronization(ex: push or 5 min).

Lollipop has priority interruptions setting, sounds like you just need that - set up calls / texts as priority

There are three categories for Priority:
1. Events and reminders
2. Phone Calls
3. Messages
It's not clear on if messages are emails or texts/sms or both.

If you have Lollipop 5.0 will Settings > Sound & Display > Sound & Notification > Do Not Disturb work for what you want
You can set scheduling times for Do not disturb and allow exceptions to the Do not disturb like calls, SMS Alarms etc
I don't know personally as I don't use it but just a thought if you have not tried it

to clarify...

Avoid sound signaling for SMS receiving acknowledgement?

Hmm i use SMS receiving acknowledgement by standard.
Can i turn off the signaling for it?
I think just a popup is enough. I dont need a "beep beep" on my phone immediateley after sending a SMS to another.
Hello messia,
As the SMS notification is a simple SMS you recieve from the network when the recipient get your SMS, you have to deactivate the sounds for incoming SMS's.
You can controll all notifcations in the settings:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifcations
(Start > Einstellungen > Sounds & Benachrichtigungen > Benachrichtigungen)
If you choose "Messaging: new SMS" (Messaging: neue SMS) , you can turn off the sound for incoming SMS messages.
The downside of this is that sound notification is disabled for all incoming SMSs, not only for the send notifcations.
Greetings,
BGK
thx but that is not the problem, the problem is that i want a sound for a new sms i get, but i don`t want a sound for a sms that someone receives from me.
A popup for this is sufficient
I remember turning OFF the notification of sent messages previously, i think the info is in the forum somewhere, but it turns it all off. Both sound and popup.
I think it was a registry hack too. Was a long time ago, im fighting wm2005 now so havent got time to check back how i did it sorry.
yes i know how to deactivate completely but i just want to deactivate the annoying sound
it`s impossible, isn`t it?
Yes, it is impossible. The SMS you receive from the network looks the same as an sms from one of your contacts to your phone. The device cannot distinguish one SMS from another, so you can only choose to switch of the sound for all sms-es. You can also choose to disable delivery notification entirely, but then you will only get a pop-up that the sms is send, not when it is received by the other party, since the network will not send you an sms to notify you of delivery.
However, even when I am writing this, I consider two issues:
1. There is some program floating around that enables blocking certain senders of sms. That means however that the sms will not reach your phone, so this is bascially the same result as with switching sms delivery notification off.
2. BUT! Darek, the creator of DKToday ( search for him on this forum with the term DKToday, or his name dkot) uses the SMS delivery for counting the number of sms send this month. Basically, he could not find a way to extract sent sms info from the system, so instead, he chose to count the returning delivery notification sms from the network as a measure of the no. of sms sent by you. So, in some way, he must be able to distinguish delivery notification sms from normal sms, as sent by your contacts. I recommend you to contact him and ask him how that is done, maybe he can tell you what the distinguishing feature is between normal incoming sms and network sms.
Edit: After re-reading your first post in this thread, I may have given you an answer to a problem you did not have. Do you want to cancel out the sound for the incoming network delivery notification sms, or the sound from the pop-up after sending the sms ( the system sound)? For the delivery sms, see my answer. For the system sound: I have no clue...
I have written to him. Maybe he can help

Switch off new e-mail notification, but still have sms/vm/missed call etc?

Hi
I've gout my Touch HD syncing with Exchange Server, and so constantly get a 'Notification' on the screen that requires dismissing, as new e-mails arrive.
(I thought I would be able to go to Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications, then find the Messaging: New e-mail message and uncheck the 'display message on screen' but this isn't checked)
Are you only able to switch notifications on or off globally? I guess you still get an icon to indicate a missed call or sms.... what do other people do?
Thanks for any advice / comments
Try one of the Tweak software packages out there, I am sure there is something in there for notifications.
Regards
Tweak HD lets you switch SMS sent notifications on/off, but that's all.....

Evo Sound Notifications

Hey guys, i don't like have one notification noise for ALL my notifications. now i can't tell the difference between emails, sms etc. i looked under settings but it only allows you to set one sound over all. is there any way to get individual sounds for individual events?
Each one of those have a settings tab. You can change them idependently. IE: Open Messages and go to settings, Notifications and change it. Same with gmail and exchange.

Notifications vibration

anyone having problems with the phone not vibrating when receiving notifications like sms, gmail, whatsapp etc?
i have vibration set to 'always' under sound settings and also in the individual apps but the phone only vibrates for incoming calls only...
have you checked the notification settings in the apps your using? they are separate from the main sound setting i think.

Don't think its possible on stock app its very limited in functions, better stopping it doing anything turn all notifications etc off and use a 3rd part app like Handcent
