Hello all,
On my S8 I have enabled Do not disturb to come on as scheduled. This is set to start at 23:30. However every night it comes on at 22:30. I have tried changing the start time but it is always coming on at 22:30.
It turns off at the correct time.
Has anyone any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks !
I'm having a similar issue. It doesn't turn off when it should
I'm having the same issue too. Mine comes on at seemingly random times at night. I tried to correct it by setting a schedule that works better for me but it comes completely ignores the schedule and does its own thing...
I'm having the same thing with my S7 edge and suspect it could be something to do with stock Android settings from my previous phone (Moto X Play) that have synced / been restored when I transferred my Google account to my S7 edge.
My do not disturb settings on the Moto X Play (Stock android) were to activate at 10pm Sunday - Thursday and 11pm on Friday and Saturday. As Samsung's version of android doesn't allow different settings for different days of the week I have do not disturb set to activate at 10.30pm every day. I have found that my S7 edge is still following the rules I had for my Moto X Play and activating at 10pm on Sun-Thurs and 11pm Friday and Saturday. This also applies to the deactivate settings which are set to different times Sun-Thurs and Friday and Saturday.
Is there a way to access the stock android do not disturb settings on Samsung?
Fixed it
Fixed it,
What I had to do was get Nova Launcher.
Press and hold desktop select to add widget.
Add the Nova Launcher widget - Activities
In the menu that pops up scroll to settings.
In the sub-window scroll to: Automatic rules. The one which is .Settings$ZenModeAutomationSettingsActivitiy
Tap it. This will add a shortcut to the automatic rules.
Click this and you have access to different rules. twschedule is the one set by the Samsung settings.
I had a weeknight one which was affecting me.
This could also be used to set custom ones for different days I think.
Something weird is happening with the time calculations. I used to have my Gear2 Neo track my sleep to Samsung Health, but Samsung Health always reported that I went to sleep and got up 1 hour later than I actually did.

Excellent! Thanks very much I would never have found this myself. I've changed the settings and fingers crossed it will actually do what I want it to tonight!

G'day All,
Recently I was wandering through the settings options, as you do, when I came across the clock application (I should have left it alone).
Start->Settings>System+Clock>Alarms
I set-up 4 alarms using the analog clock, without realising that the 24Hr clock was a better way to set the time.
Anyway after a few alarms going off (In the early hours) I decided to deselect them from the application, hoping that they would go away.
Unfortunately the alarms are still going off, even though I have deselected them.
Is there an alarm configuration file that I can physically hack, to remove the timmings, or is a fix available for this??
Please Help!
Didn't know this was a major issue
Case Closed!

So I've had this problem with pretty much every T-mobile phone I (and anyone I know) has had while being at college. I am in central time, but am only about 20 miles from the eastern timezone border and T-mobile is always trying to tell me I am in eastern time.
All of my old phones have had a simple setting to turn off automatic updates of the time, allowing me to set it to central time and not have to fool with it. I can't seem to find this setting for the HD2 though. I don't want to turn off HTC's location as that will stop the weather tab from being able to find me, and that isn't really the issue anyway. If anything the GPS should be telling my phone I am in fact in central time.
Does anyone know where to find the setting that stops the phone from updating it's time based on what the network says? If possible, is there any way currently to have the GPS set timezones for us, as that is going to be more accurate than what tower you are getting signal from?
Thanks!
Idk if this will help you, but have you tried tapping on the clock on the home screen and you then can add your custom location or current location ....maybe there are other settings there also ?
Go to settings>menu>all settings> date and time, there you should be able to change the time zone.

This works fine but there is no option for Daylight savings time. Must have over looked it. Just select central time and manually change one hour ahead.

I personally have called T-Mobile about this and even speaking with a Teir 2 I am disappointed. They reset my ports and the time zone correctly updated, then as soon as I left my house and headed downtown it changed. Guess what, as soon as I got back home later it changed back to Pacific.
On the HD2 the option to change the timezone is greyed out indicating that it is updated from the carrier. I have changed the other settings every which way with no avail.
My theory is that the HTC Sense "Weather" app automatically updates the Time and Weather based upon the GeoLocation info. The name of my city is Portland and I suppose it thinks im in Oregon!
I have tried the various clock settings but to no avail. I can click on the flipclock and change the time manually, or even pick my own location rather than using Sense's "My Location" option. This works for a little while, but when the wether updates it's weather data it also changes my location.
I have also gone into the All Settings->Clocks & Alarms and changed the time zone manually which also works temporarily, but again once Weather updates the timezone is changed.
BsB Tweaks has a setting for Auto Sync Clock which is precisely what I need turned off. Oddly enough, there is something outside of BsB that overrides it's setting and turns the Auto Sync Clock setting back on.
It completely boggles my mind what is going on here. In theory the Sense's weather app should not directly affect whether or not the system clock is synced with the network time/timezone data. More so, if Sense decides it must update the clock whenever it finds the weather location/data it should be able to update the clock based on what timezone my GPS location is within.
Maybe there would be a way to add this feature in, though I'm not sure exactly how to go about it as I haven't done any tweaking and hacking on WinMo in years. It would be best for everyone if our clock was synced with the My Location data, as this gives an extremely precise understanding of what timezone I am in.
The automatic timezone settings may be in the phone settings and not the clock settings. Try going into the dialer then select Menu--> Options and click the Timezone tab. Then uncheck the the box to automatically update.
I do not have a T-mobile USA HD2 yet (mine is on order), so this is an assumption as that setting is available on my Diamond. If you don't see a TimeZone tab, it could be that T-mobile is hiding it. In which case there is probably a regedit to re-enable the tab so this can be unchecked.
Hope this helps.
hadn't thought about looking in the phone settings for the clock synchronization, great idea! that may have lead me to the solution, I'll see what happens in the next few hours.
Here is what I did...
Settings-> all settings-> personal-> phone->GSM/UMTS tab-> time synchronization-> get settings> uncheck auto time synchronization
I don't think they could have hidden that simple setting anymore if they tried! hopefully that will do the trick, thanks!
Time Change
My phone was doing the same thing, thanks for the fix. Duhhh, did it again this time i manually added my city and the correct time for it however the tab with current location is still an hour ahead, crazy. Help...
HTC HD2 (Leo) Time Zone Problem (Greyed Out)
Almost - My HTC HD2 (Leo) goes: Settings ->Menu->All Settings->Clocks&Alarms
Then click the 'Time' tab, and there's a dropdown where you can choose your time zone. You'll almost certainly have to set the time dropdown as well (just under the time zone dropdown).
But you're right - they certainly conceal this most primary of settings very thoroughly!
Cheers, Mark

This is my first Android phone so sorry for the noobish question.
Back on Windows Mobile HTC put in a 4th "sound settings" option called Automatic.
Normal, Vibrate, Silence, Automatic
When in Automatic mode the phone would switch to Vibrate any time you had a scheduled appointment on your calendar. So you didn't have to worry about your "Dancing Queen" ringtone going off when you schedule an important after work meeting because it fell outside the time-frame of some app with limited options.
Does this automatic option exist on the Incredible and I'm missing it.
Or is there an app that sets your phone to vibrate dynamically based on your appointment calendar and not just some simple setting within the app?
I didn't see it at first glance, but I remember this feature! Pretty handy if you forget to silence your phone in a meeting, and all my meetings are synced to my phone's calendar.
I used to use an app called Locale by two-forty am or something, I forgot the developer's name and my phone just died so I can't check. But it looks like it's no longer free although the app still looks very promising. Do a search in Market cause I'm sure there are more that will do the same and are free as well. Also check this video out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzlFlK-1dNY
At about 9:54 the guy in the video talks about a feature on the phone called polite ringer. It can be useful if you forget to mute the phone or if your app for some reason forgets to do it for you. The whole video is very informative as well even if you already know about most of the phone's features. I hope this helps! Good Luck!!
I miss my Omnia and the etiquette mode. Place the phone screen down on a table and it went to vibrate mode.
That is one feature of my ex-iPhone that I really liked...1 click of the switch ad it shut up!!!!
Plus 1. I miss Mobile Shell on my old WinMo. I'm using ToggleSettings now which is free and does a good job with settings changing based on time, but it does nothing based on meetings.
To Funny...
YEAH I miss my Omnia (& touch shell) The screen was so wig giddy whack, which was after a month of use & the dreaded lock screen. Never got a Omnia II because it did not have an optical mouse? I guess my incredible is okay to above average. I hate the aspect ratio of the wallpaper. WTF lolz I wish I could have a wallpaper per each screen or have it re-size to the screen, especially for caller id? Also i'm not terribly fond of the HTC scenes ui it's almost useless.

several apps are out there- FlipSilent, Turn Silent- and they seem to cover customized silencing too!
Auto task keys off the calendar descriptions. There is a ringer silence widget out there too. (Apps)
It seems none of those really tie into calendar. Shh! auto-silencer allows you to setup times where the phone goes silent but it's seems king of hit and miss. Locale looks the best with ton's of options for setting when things are silent, but it's not free.
I think I might try out locale for a couple days. After getting a phone call at 1:30am and not being able to get back to sleep I need something to better manage automatic silent times.
There's another app call "setting profiles" that does what you what. It does basically the same thing as locale minus the plugins. You can set profiles to calendar, time period, schedule period, location and more. It's also a lot cheaper. I think it's $3 compare to $10 for locale. I came from windows mobile as well. This is one thing I really wanted from android. It took me a while to find it. But I think settings profiles takes the cake for its features and price point.
Oh I forgot to add that it comes with a widget where you can place on your homescreen so that you can toggle profiles manually. On the widget, it also lets you set a timer for the profile. For example, when I go to a movie, I can toggle the silent profile for 2 hrs and it will go silent until the time expires. After that it will automatically revert to your default profile.
That's pretty cool. It does do just about everything Locale does except the plugins. The free lite version even does most of the stuff I need it to.
Hi All,
I've just put Lollipop on my S5 and am getting things back set up how I want them. One such thing I liked was blocking mode (only calls from favourites make a noise during sleep hours). I thought that the Lollipop Priority Interruption and Timeout would do the job (not posting a link because apparently I'm a new user today: support.google.com/nexus/answer/6111295?hl=en) , but I can't see the timeout setting information on the S5. If this something that Samsung have left out, or am I missing something? I've seached today haven't found much discussion of this issue as yet.
If it has been left out is there another way to get at the settings?
This might be push for me to have a look at CM12, I was a long time user of CM11 on my S3...
Grateful for any help!
thanks,
Dave
Just installed and have the same problem! Appears parts of the menu that allow this are missing on the S5...
---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------
Ok, just been playing.
I tried a factory reset incase that helped and no joy, however you can set these up from the settings menu when you want them - just not schedule them as we both want!
Yup.
I was looking at this as well.
As far as I can read, the "Blocking Mode" was a Samsung specific extra, but now with Lollipop Google have add their own bit.
Advantage: Can be installed into quick menu items in the notification bar.
Disadvantage: No time period (between 23:00 and 07:00), and no grouping of users (allow all "family" to call but no-one else).
Maybe Google's delivery has superseded Samsung's to the point that the latter's is not compatible? Seems a shame to lose those features. An area where the software developer could have learnt from one of it's hardware partners.
Tasker Workaround for missing timeout...
I was sufficiently annoyed with the missing 'make my phone mostly silent at night' mode - and didn't get an alarm on a couple of occasions because I left the interrupt mode as 'None' - that I used Tasker to solve the problem... Don't know why I didn't think of this straight away - I just take for granted a number of other Tasker automations to set things up in the car and for a timesheet check-in /check-out (Time Recording) for work...
Time Context from: 2200 til 0500
Entry Task ("NightMode"):
Action Interrupt Mode = Priority
Exit Task ("DayMode"):
Action Interrupt Mode = All
I'll probably add a few other tweaks to the NightMode and DayMode tasks to make sure that notifications, alarms and ringtone have appropriate volumes... but basically this has given me back what I needed.
Hope that this helps someone else!

Any one knows if it is possible to "unhide" the schedule feature for Interruptions in rooted S5?
Hi All, I'm struggling to turn off the vibrating notification for WhatsApp messages. I can either turn off vibrating within the general notification preferences for ALL messages or keep them on. The options within the WhatsApp settings do not work. Any ideas to solve this issue would be highly appreciated :good: Thanks
Turn off vibrations in whatsapp, then set a new sound for notification there as well.
Thx for your reply. The phone doesn't accept the ringtone change as well.
That's weird, it's working without vibration here when i do get a notification. My problem is often i don't get the notification at all, until i wake the app by opening it.
Agree, very weird. It's not clear for me which settings overrule others, which permissions have to be set and how the power saving options might influence the notifications probably.
I thought I have tried everything already but without success so far. The phone is driving me crazy. Already miss my oneplus which I passed over to my gf.
I'm also having troubles with my notifications since today... Getting nothing unless i open the app.. Very frustrating! Think its the 18s rom.. All notifications are on..I don't get it..
Had the problems already before the upgrade to 18s.
I found some Indian threads concerning notification problems in EUI 5.8 but the workarounds did not avail in my case.
Probably you want to give it a try -->

None of these tips worked for me. I have every setting to keep apps open and protected with permissions...etc etc. I can still have my other phones sitting right next to this one and a gmail message will come in to all of them except the Le Pro 3. It will just sit there and not see the new message until I open the app and manually refresh. Le Eco MUST fix this. What good is a device that does not work with push notifications!!????
All of a sudden, at least whatsapp does as expected - sound without vibration (without turning off the general phone vibration settings) and also setting other notification sounds works now. - The problem is - I really don't know how I achieved this great success
I'll check how the other notifications work now and give feedback.
I've found that notifications work fairly well after a reboot, but get steadily worse the longer you go without rebooting. Mine has been a running a few days now without a reboot and whatsapp gets kicked out of settings/running apps within minutes of using it.
I'm also having problems with the notifications in general. Gmail and Hangouts for example...
I tried Settings ->Battery->Power Saving Management and disabled everything, including Ultralong standby and lock-screen clean up. Also add to App protection Wahtsapp and more applications that I don't want to be frozen. Neither Gmail nor Hangouts show on this list.
Also, I locked Gmail and Hangouts in the EUI task manager (lock symbol) , but it appears to have no effects...
Gmail for example besides no notifications, the emails in inbox are not even refreshed...
Any help would be appreciated... I really like the phone, but I'm thinking of returning it because these issues...
The same thing is present on our LeMax 2 for months since the S16/S17 update on it, other Leeco users report the same with their later firmwares.
I think it's deliberate by leeco to lengthen battery time for review reports, and they have no intention of fixing it since the complaints on various forums have been numerous for months now.
I found this:
http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?th...il-etc-after-eui-5-8-017s-update.15539/page-4
1. Phone manager -> Power saving management->App protection->Disable auto cleaning for WhatsApp
2. Settings -> Permission -> You have allowed x apps to auto launch->enable WhatsApp
3. Settings -> Notification management -> WhatsApp->enable all
4. Phone manager>Power saving management>App battery usage alert>Never alert > whatsapp should be never alert
5. Make Sure the Apps are locked in Recent Apps. Lock means the app won’t be killed by system.
6. Third-party power management apps such as DU Battery Saver, Greenify, Battery Extender, CM Security, Battery Saver, Go Battery, Doze etc. restrict background data and thus result in delayed notification and errors
7. If still cannot receive the push message, please check whether Battery assistant is enabled. Battery assistant will restrict backgroud data and only suggest to enable when battery is low.
8. Dial *#*#46360000#*#* -> Uncheck “Enable background resource control”. And please check it after next OTA. It can help save battery.

Just tried option 8 as well and rebooted. I'm hopeful as seeing much better push performance. Will update after phone has been in deep sleep a couple times.
I tried option 8 and rebooted. So far so good
Have had regular notifications in the last 3 hours!
Fingers crossed! Otherwise have to return this $h1t...
Testing too

Going on 5 hours and it has not missed a single push...I think this was the golden ticket to fix the push issues.
K, after 2 days testing, the new fix certainly seems to work at least for the 2 apps i use with push notifications, gmail and whatsapp. With gmail i still have to have the lock symbol on recents, which means to exempt it from memory purges in standby, but whatsapp doesn't seem to even need that anymore.
I've also been keeping an eye on battery consumption with this fix and, once settled from the reboot after applying the fix, there is no noticeable extra battery drain as far as i can tell. I'm still getting awesome SOT.
