Okay. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe my phone's just not honoring my settings. But my DND mode isn't working. I have it set on a schedule to kick in everyday around 10pm and disable at 7am. I have custom exceptions for favorite contacts, alarms on, repeat callers on, but events/reminders off. I don't have any apps set for priority notifications. But I still get sound notifications for just about everything. On top of that, I still get reminders from the apps I set it on for (messaging apps, mainly SMS). Am I doing something wrong?
Mine force closes every time I attempt to go into the settings. The only way I can get it to work is by manually turning it on and off via the quick settings bar. It does work because I received e-mails, texts etc. while it was turned on and it never made a peep. I googled it, and other people are having the issue also.

Maybe it's your font settings? No problems with mine and no problems having it block stuff when activated. I use it daily when sleeping because I work nights.

Nope went back to default theme and font still does it even after a reboot
I had the same problem and it miraculously started working again
I had the same problem. Started playing around with notification settings for individual apps tonight. I believe I have the settings right to avoid getting notifications when I don't want them. Here's a screen shot of one of the apps. You have to go into each app you DON'T want notifications for and set them as they are in the screen shot. Hope this helps.

UPDATE from previous post - it would appear that my advise above is garbage. I continued to get notifications even after I made changes to individual application notification settings. I'm stumped at this point. Samsung needs to address this.

And while they are at it, add the damn LED to the do not disturb mode!!! I don't want to have a bright green LED shining in my face overnight, much less a blinking one.

Hi,
So I am trying to setup my note 4 to be on GPS only mode all the time. But everytime I turn off and turn on location, it goes back to High accuracy mode.
How do I make it stick to GPS only mode?
Thanks.

This is "normal." Every time you turn location on, it defaults to high accuracy and you must change the settings to power saving. If you turn location off and on again, it will default again.
I hate it too. It's annoying as heck, but it's a stupid Android problem and not the Note 4. My old phone did it on Kitkat too, and it was an LG.
The good news is that you can get to the location settings quickly by holding the location toggle in the quick settings pull down. Unfortunately, you'll have to go to the settings everyone you turn location on, or just keep location on or off.
My phone isn't really rootable, but MAYBE there's some sort of trick you can do if rooted. If so, I hope someone can help you more.

same issue on my s5 and its damn annoying.
I posted a request in apps section to see if a dev can make a xposed module to fix it, but I am going to see if I can fix with tasker, as tasker can do cool things like toggle settings after a mode is activated.
Go into Settings -> Location and you be able to adjust the GPS connection settings there.

that only works until you disable it, then it changes again when turning back on
Just came across this INSANITY, think it's because I installed (and promptly uninstalled!) the weather.com app. It changed the settings, I'll try with clearing the cache:
Code:
https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/502397-how-do-i-stop-my-location-mode-changing-high-accuracy.html
Why isn't this on the Android web site and first result in Google. It's like they WANT everyone to suffer. I can't rage here, but believe me I'm cussing right now.
Genius, got it!.. It was one of the Google apps!!
Rebooted to Safe Mode (probably irrelevant ) & cleared the data - on several Google services, dunno which is the culprit - and voila!
On Reboot, switching Location back on presented me with the dialog to NOT have High accuracy; yes, lol!
Going to try and add that screenshot to the post here. =)

Well, this is officially the stupidest thing Google/Android have ever done. And it's been around for a while, as I see. It is still there on Marshmallow ... how fantastic. Yep, they do wanna troll you and own you ... that we get.
Here's a possible fix for rooted phones - https://csullender.com/blog/2014/01/26/automatic-high-accuracy-android-location/ just revert the procedure somewhat and make sure that Tasker tells Maps (or whatever nav app you use) to default to GPS off which is “battery saving” mode in Secure Settings.
This is insanely retarded ...
Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App
You may have noticed the Phone Manager app on your Honor 8. If you've never bothered to mess with this app, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of ways that the app can help improve the way your phone operates. Here are some of the best ways to use this app.
System Optimization
The System Optimizer will scan your phone to find apps running in your memory. You can select individual apps to be cleared making your phone faster. You can make this process faster by whitelisting the apps that you don't want to be cleared. The next time you need to clear your cache, you can simply hit "clean" and all the apps that aren't on the whitelist will be closed.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Traffic Manager
Monitor the data used by each app to see which ones are using up the most of your 4G allowance. This section will also have the option to setup a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Harassment Filter
Harassment Filter is a very smart way to sort out all the incoming communication that you don't want. You can add phone numbers and contacts to the sms and call blacklist. Not only that but you can add keywords to be blocked as well. Any message sent to you with one of the blacklisted words will be blocked.
Head into the settings in the top right corner to adjust your notifications for the harassment filter. Your phone can be set to notify you every time a message or call is intercepted.
Notification center
The notification center gives you complete control over what apps are allowed to push notifications and where they're allowed to appear. Go to an app and toggle status bar, banner and lock screen to determine how the notifications for that app will show up. You can also assign "priority display" where a notification can interrupt whatever you're doing at the time.
App Lock
Set four digit passwords for specific apps. I've got a lock on my photos, hangouts and snapchat.
Protected Apps
When you turn your screen off, many apps are suspended to save battery time. When this happens, data will not push to these apps so many times you wont receive notifications from them. By default, many apps are already protected so they don't get suspended when the screen is off. Go into this menu to see what apps are on the list. Add or remove apps as you see fit.
There seems to be a much deeper depth in the phone manager than what i first expected. Thank you for the write-up. +1
Thank you for this in-depth explanation, much appreciated
Is there very similar app for the non Honor devices in playstore?
Hello All,
I don't know what happened and I did not intentionally change any settings (maybe on accident?) but today when I checked my phone I discovered that all my notifications from the top of my screen are now uniformed instead of displaying notification from mails, different apps etc. I'm wondering how I can get back to the default setting where each app has its own notification icon. Please see the attached picture for reference of what I'm talking about, thank you so much!

Hello All,
Thank you for the prompt help, for some reasons my display setting menu does not have the "only show quantity in status bar" option. My display has the following options
Font Size
Sleep
Brightness Level
Auto rotate screen
Battery percentage
Notification Ligh
Display pedometer
Screen effect
Cast screen
I downloaded the update but was unable to update it because I had install TWRP. After the installation failed because of TWRP I never did get around to install the update using the TWRP way. Wondering if that would play a role here. Please help, thank you guys so much, I greatly appreciate the assistance!!
on which model and Version are you? It should be under the battery percentage

I'm on Android 6.0.1 Build 0B29.
I figured it out. For anyone who has the same problem as I, the setting can be found by pulling the status bar menu all the way down and press on "edit"

Thanks nuridurdu27. I've been trying to figure this out for the last couple of hours. I must have turned this on unintentionally at some point and it was driving me crazy!
Is there any way to turn off the preview of text message content on home screen and notification pull down? I don't want to see the content until i choose to open it? I would still like be notified that received a message. I just want to get rid of the preview.
I have the default messaging app installed and when I follow: Messaging App > Menu > Settings > Notifications, the only options are Block, Silent, and Priority. There are no additional options and I don't see anything related to the preview.
This would be a setting in the texting app itself, not a system setting. You can disable the "preview" in the texting app and just get the notification only.

How to hide msg content of all apps on the notification bar
Hi
I want to hide all previews for any notification I get on on my notification bar, be it text, email or whatsapp etc. I just want to see which apps have a new notification and how many new notifications. Many of the apps on the LG G6 do not have a 'PREVIEW' setting so I can't disable that within the apps themselves.
Thank you

Have you tried "partially" swiping to expose the settings for the notification?

Still doesn't help
Thanks skyfox99 for the response. Unfortunately, that doesn't help because that controls the notifications in its entirety. So changing the settings that way controls if I get the notification and what sorts of notification settings I get it with. I just want to hide the content that comes with each notification. So that it just says for e.g.. Whatsapp 3 new msgs from xyz
If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Good morning fellows, now I am facing a problem:
EVEN I didn't set any alarm ON, there still a remind alarm icon on the status bar and lock screen , to tell me that an alarm is turned on , BUT, the alarm won't actually ring on. But that is really annoying, and will repeat and repeat to appear a new alarm reminder with different time.
I hv been searching a while on xda, and some threads came up conclusion that :
1)it maybe relate to some other apps using "alarm clock api" so the phone misunderstand that is a alarm setted
2)some apps hv reminders, and the phone recognized those reminders as alarms.
My phone is oneplus 6T, with oos 9.012
Thank you for reading and plz helpppppp
:crying::crying:
Same problem here and I know that it's not only us. A bit unnoying to not know what causes this strange behaviour. What is also odd is that this alarm time on lockscreen constantly changes and is usually some 10-20 minutes ahead of the actual time and totally off the time of an actual alarm. And if you turn the alarms off it's still there. Here:

You use any app with schedule? I use volume Butler to schedule the volumes/ringtones,etc
This usually is caused by 3rd party apps that use reminder or "time related" notification,scheduling whatsoever.
If you remember having 3rd party apps that use that kind of notification try to disable it.
Mine was DND profile from plusbeat
Apparently "these" apps use alarmAPI, so oxygen os cannot kill this process while no alarm was set, so it re occurs at a predetermined time, depending on that 3rd party app command
Maybe it is a bug, but have you tried updating to .15? I haven't experienced this issue even before updating though
