no, from what i read the scheduler is an option if you only want it on between certain hours, it should
work simply by turning it on. it says it's enabled in the pull down notification menu and there is a ∅
in the upper left corner but it still rings ?
Edit : i turned on the scheduler and it still rings. . . . . . .WTF ?
i'm beginning to think this Note 7 is a POS, so far i'm having bluetooth issues, do not disturb doesn't work,
and smart switch gives an error when trying to back up files. my Note 4 worked(s) perfectly and had zero
issues !
Do Not Disturb works for me. Are you sure that you didn't setup an "exception" to allow your phone to still ring? I just tried it and no phone call came through. The only exception I have setup is for an Alarm to sound.
Once you turn on DND, then tap on the "Do Not Disturb" wording. In this section is where you can setup exceptions or clear them out if something is setup that you did not want. Specifically check out the "Allow exceptions" section.

That's strange, I haven't encountered that problem. Have you done anything to your phone? Did you use a package Disabler app?
yes i have PDP installed, but i only selected AT&T and other obvious stuff

You might want to go one-by-one and reinstate items that you disabled with PDP and see if DND works again.

i re-enabled everything previously disabled, restarted and it still rings with DND turned on !
i think i'm gonna take it back to Samsclub and exchange it for a new one.

That actually sounds like a good idea. You've had too many issues and even though I've only had this Note 7 for several days, I haven't had any problems. Samsclub has good customer service, don't they? This really is a nice phone!
Dang sorry! Sounds like a bad phone... I don't know what else could cause the issue.
a hard reset fixed the problem
apparently using Smart Switch to migrate all my apps, pics,
contacts, etc. from my Note 4 created some problems.

Typically i don't ask for help but this time i'm going to throw it out there.
Every time i receive a SMS message my phone reads it out loud. Like "text message from 134-123-7654, _____________" no alert no nothing just reads it out loud.
I do not have "talk back", or "sound back" installed on my phone. And i've fixed permission and verified all of the settings under the SMS app and "voice input/output" in the main menu....
any other ideas.

1) What SMS app are you using?
2) Don't tell your friends about this problem or you are certain to get 100 ill timed text messages that say things like "I love gay porn!" and "Man, it sure is roomy in these pants!"
Off hand my first guess is to completely uninstall the SMS app, make sure all the directories that save settings are deleted too, and reinstall. That's the first thing I'd do. If that doesn't work....I dunno....call a priest for an exorcism?

nope. The only thing i can think of is i installed that new cluzee app, the Siri knockoff.
Edit :
I think i may of found the problem. There is a "cluzee reader" setting that is on by default. I turned it off, i'll see what happens.
Doing a fresh ROM install or even reverting back to a working save are guaranteed fixes. I figured you'd rather not have to reset everything though.
I'd bet the cluzee setting you found fixes it though.
agg! this started happening to me yesterday... i did recently install cluzee and llama, but last i looked the "reader" was set to "off" in cluzee.... and none of my "accessability" things are trned on..... i see that unsder <settings><voice input and output> under output that pico TTS is installed but "always use my settings" box is unchecked.... really annoying at work when i get a text.... thank goodness it wasnt a personal message or what not... aside from reloading everything - is there any other settign i should check. im useing the factory "messaging" app on my MTS4G...

I haven't been able to get mine to work period. I have disabled and enabled the feature multiple time and I just can't get it to work.....
Use it all the time. Might be an issue with a specific version of the phone or if you have modified it somehow.

I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work
A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.
This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.
(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)
Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?
Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.
I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.

Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!
The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!
The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch)
A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .
So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?
How did you know about this barnabydog?
is there another thread that discusses this issue?
Yes, but I was too lazy to search for it.

Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

Hi guys, I have a big problem with ZTE Axon 7,
I got the chinese version with Google Launcher and I noticed that I'm not getting notifications properly. It's really annoying , for example when I get an email on Gmail I get the pop up and hear the sound, that I got an email, but when I receive a message on Messenger, or on Viber, the phone do nothing, it's like it's in deep sleep or I don't know, somehow Gmail brings me the notifications but messenger and other applications not, even facebook missing to notify me sometimes that I got a post on my wall or someone replied on my comment.
Everytime I have to reopen the apps every one of them to get notifications, and I noticed that about 1 hour later ZTE somehow close them automatically, in the MI Assistant I set Viber and Messenger to auto-run, but still nothing, what should I do? I don't get notifications. I tried to turn off every Power Saving setting, everything that related to power saving is turned off, I even disallowed the deep sleep for these applications but still nothing, factory and cache reset and still nothing.

I have the US version but I ran into this too with my MagicJack app .. You can try ... though not sure if it will help ... it seemed to help on my MJ app ... going to the recent apps list and find the app that is closing and click the little lock icon in the upper right corner.
I did this because when I cleared the list it would close MJ app and not restart like it would do on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 ... After doing that .. I noticed that it kept running when I left the phone set for a while .. it would still shut down every so often but the app itself has never been real stable so that may be the app itself crashing or something.
So if you "Lock" the apps in the recent apps section ... it may keep them running even if the phone tries to clear out recent apps after it sits for a while.

lol .. i may have the terminology wrong... but here is a screen shot for you. With that lock enabled even if I click "clear all" and everything disappears from the recent apps list .. MJ .. and as you see I also have Pushbullet locked .. they will continue to run and if I select the recent apps list again .. they will be in there again .. they don't actually get closed .. As I say .. this may keep them from being closed if the Axon 7 closes old recent apps when your phone is inactive for a period of time... but this is only a theory and it may not work .. it may just be that I got lucky and the programs I use keep running for some reason now .. or maybe I just don't notice that they closed and end up opening them again without realizing it.

Ok here is something else .. may be odd but may be an issue... have you checked to make sure that you have sounds set to your notifications. There is an option for 'none' so just verify that you have a sound associated with your notifications.... another thing you can check is Settings >Sounds and Vibrations > Do not disturb and make sure this is off... or if you use this feature ... it should show an icon at the top .. make sure that icon isn't there .. I have heard of people saying that the do not disturb doesn't turn off like it is supposed to sometimes .. so if you use it .. and its suppose to turn off at say 6am .. make sure its shutting off ...
If that isn't it... let me clarify something... when you say you aren't getting notifications ... are you getting them but just not getting a sound to let you know you are getting them ... or are you not getting notifications as in ... you have to manually go into an app like your email and check manually for new mail because it isn't giving you any notifications that you have mail. ... basically are you just not getting 'notified' of notifications ... or are you not getting the actual notifications themselves from your apps... (nothing shows up in the notification section/lock screen)

I think i founded the solution you have to go Options>Power Manager>Power management for apps> and disable every slider for the apps that you want to use and the most important step REBOOT THE DEVICE. I did it today morning this change, and nothing happened, but now I rebooted my device, and it seems to work. I get the notifications immediately when I write a message to myself from another phone, thanks JohnOrion for taking time to help!
You can turn off in the MI Assistant the lockscreen background app close feature in the accelator menu, I think you have to turn that off too.

You can also check something else by clicking your volume button and when you see the volume section come on your screen press the little down arrow and make sure that the notification section has volume set on it and isn't muted.

ahh .. the bell thing.. yeah i got rid of that as soon as it was possible I don't think that the US version has MI Assistant .. you are the second person that mentioned it and I don't see that anywhere on my phone and I did a google play on it and it said its not compatible with my phone....
glad you were able to work it out
I'm running into this same issue. Just got my phone two days ago and loving it. However, every so often throughout the day it goes into some sort of deep sleep and none of my notifications come through. I've been missing new emails and hangout messages until I unlock the screen and manually refresh.
This is not a case of not hearing notifications, when I open the Gmail app, it doesn't even display the new messages until I manually refresh it.
Seems to be totally random on when this happens. I've tried checking different power settings and such and nothing really seems to make a difference. I don't even see an option to modify the power settings for the Gmail app, it doesn't show on the list of available apps.
Anyone have any luck? If this continues to be a problem, it could be a deal breaker and will force me to return it. What's the point of having a smartphone that doesn't get emails and messages?

I wish I could give you an answer .. right now .. I truly feel that ZTE realizes that it has made a mistake with the power and ram management .. I'm sure it has been resolved but because of the way things work .. it will probably not be a 'seen' fixed until the next major update which will include Nougat. This update should be here either this month according to Newegg .. or soon after .. it has been verified by one of the ZTE staff that Nougat is in the testing stages now but not verified that it will be out this month... so I'm hoping it wont be too much longer.

Makes sense. Besides the issue with sync, I really like the phone. I love the size and feel. Speakers are truly great. I've got until January 31st to return through Amazon. I'll hang on a short bit longer and see what happens.
Only other option would be the One Plus 3t. Not sure I want to give up the front facing speakers though...

Hopefully you will have the answer before your cut off date it looks promising that you will .. so yeah.. hang in there for a little while longer ... ZTE has been moving fast to get things working .. when you think about it and compare to other manufacturers ... their last update was only about a month or so ago and a very large update is coming very shortly .. that is pretty good in my opinion ... lol but I am coming from an ancient Galaxy S3 so this phone is incredible compared to that even with its strange quarks.
isn't the OP3t also a 1080 screen .. well i guess with this size it doesn't matter but .. lol ... I guess I like the 1440p screen
and yeah I love the speakers on this .. My nephew picked up a V20 because of its sound ... I want to compare it to this .. I bet mine sounds better than his that he paid 2 times the price for ... then again .. that would only be speaker sound .. I'm sure the DAC is actually better in that phone .. I think its like a 64bit one and ours is only 32bit .. but .. never actually followed it .. I love the sound but I'm not so into sound that I know specs of the converters and that stuff I just know the sound that comes out of my phone sounds great and the v20 doesn't have front facing speakers lol ... sorry .. I am a fanboy I guess .. fell in love with this phone .. want to see some of the issues resolved but for me .. I'm lucky .. most of the major ones people complain about don't seem to effect me.
Like not getting notifications .. my email twitch youtube and twitter all come through ... and lol geeky me .. they all get pushed fine to my Pebble watch and my desktop computer without delay .. as far as I have noticed by following the forums .. I get a lot of emails and there is also a counter on the forum that shows notifications and again .. never noticed a significant delay between the two of them and the phone will be sitting inactive for long periods of time .
I am lucky because I don't really communicate like a lot of people do on their phones .. I use it mainly for calls and to play around .. and it works better to notify me of mail than Windows .. so I don't use a lot of online services like spotify .. whatsapp .. and those type of things .. maybe this is why I;m not seeing issues ...
Just had it happen again. I didn't check my phone while watching a movie and decided to check my Huawei watch at the end of the movie. Was checking an old Google now card and all of a sudden my phone lit up with notifications of new Gmails and Pop emails pouring in. They were an hour old.
I'm not really sure what to do. I work for a small company and need my emails. I'm really torn as I really like everything else about this phone, but this might be the killer.
Any suggestions for a similar phone in this price range besides the One Plus 3t?

You might have to disable doze.
sorry to say .. I stopped looking when I decided on the Axon ... I do use BlueMail and get all my mail once I got rid of the power management and locked it in my recent apps list. You could give that program a try and see if it can get past the issue that seems to be ignoring your settings. ... I would suggest installing and setting up BlueMail and adjusting the power settings and locking it in the recent apps list .. then reboot the phone .. just to make sure all the settings take .. double check .. I have seen weird things with the power management settings then see if you still have issues getting mail ... if so .. again ..hopefully the update coming soon will solve the issue if you can wait a little bit .. I know since its business related .. its not something that can wait .... but maybe bluemail is more aggressive in its waking than gmail and maybe it will be able to get your notifications out

Good point, I meant to ask about that earlier. You had noted you don't have the problems with made me think you were using a third party app for email.
I'll check it out and see how it works out. I'm willing to give it a shot.
As for disabling Doze, not sure how to do that with the MiFavor skin on there. Doesn't seem to be a simple option for that.

yeah maybe bluemail will help .. its very nice ... gmail would only let me link 2 accounts and wouldn't let me link my personal imap server so I still always had to deal with 2 boxes .. but with BlueMail ... I can have all my mail in one box with easy access
oh and I'm not familiar with disabling doze either .. maybe awsomjgp can enlighten us both
Was the problem solved with Android 7?
I have Android 6 on the Axon 7 and have the same problem as mentioned.
If the problem was solved by installing Andorid 7, can you tell me a good source where it is explained how to install it on the chinese version of Axon 7. Had much trouble till now. Lucky I payed just 80%€ for it... :angel:
Factory Reset
I solved the problem by doing an unintentional factory reset. After that I had a lot of truebles with Google Play Service but now it seems to be ok. Every time the phone kills some apps, it asks me if I want protect them. But can't find this action under the settings.
Does anyone experience late notifications?
I am using S10+ Snapdragon version.
It seems that there is something that optimizes the background processes. Sometimes, I unlock the phone in order to receive the notifications.
I have made any workarounds mentioned in several websites, like to disable the optimization of certain apps through the battery settings and so on.
Nothing worked though.
Anyone got any suggestions or experiencing the same thing?
Thanks
Everyone gets notifications except me?
nobody ?
It's not just you, it drives me nuts. I have some notifications that will come in immediately if the phone is "open" (on), but it can take up to 10 - 15 minutes if the phone if off. Some notifications are immediate no matter what. I have disabled battery optimization for each app that I want notifications from, but it seems to make no difference...

True, I tried all the suggested solution without luck.
I also installed the "Push Notification Fixer" and "Glimpse Notifications" without any luck.
Do you have "Always On Display" enabled?
