Is there a way to turn off alerts/alarms coming from the S planner?

Is there a way to turn off alerts/alarms coming from the S planner?
I'm planning on using Calengoo.
Won't the alerts double? One coming from S-planner and the other coming from Calengoo?
I cannot turn of the calendars in S planner as Calengoo seems to need it to be able to get calendar data from my google account (I don't want to give Calengoo my login details, thus it is syncing from my Android device which is syncing to my Google Account)
Thanks for what enlightenment you guys can give.

I, too, would love some advice on this issue. Just using Outlook and the S Calendar. What I would like to do is to turn off the spoken notifications but still receive an event notification in the notification bar. And I still want the phone to ring.

What about "Set alarms and notifications" option in s planner options accessible after pressing menu key? I can set "Alarm", "Notification", "Disabled". There is another menu entry for vibration...

Thanks. But the problem with choosing to disable it is that I no longer receive any notification. I would like a notice in the notification bar - I just don't want my notification bar speaking. I tried changing the notification sound volume to zero. That worked to silence notifications about texts (but I still get the vibrate). But my calender still speaks.

Well, I found a fix for my problem, but it won't help the OP. Turns out the phone was in driving mode and that overrode application settings.

Tasker or similar apps

Hey everyone. Anyone here use Tasker or any similar app. If so so what are your favorite profiles or things to do with them?

I'm a long time Tasker user and cannot think using any device without it.
The main thing I use it for are:
- automatic change of audio volumes based on time and location;
- hourly chime;
- missed notifications reminder;
- automatic switch GPS ON/OFF when using maps;
... Other little things depending on specific ROM I'm using ...

Macro droid is pretty good, A tad easier to setup tasks

For me, Tasker knocked me down. I use Automateit Pro, a little bit more user friendly and does the job accurately.

I am using macro droid. Its really smooth and user friendly. Not as versatile as Tasker may be but it almost serves all the needs with more macros. It was my first purchase from google play.

Only use it to turn volume down when I arrive at the office.

Tasker and Secure Settings. I use it to:
1) Set ringtone to vibrate between 11pm to 6am
2) Trigger high accuracy GPS when I open waze.
3) Auto rotate only when in the camera, gallery, youtube and a few others.
4) Switch between edge and HSPA (to save battery) i.e. only swtich to hspa when youtube, web browser or app that needs a fast data connection is active.
5) Send emergency SMS to certain people when battery reaches to 10% (hardly ever happens but hey safe than sorry)
6) Switch to car mode (app) when connected to my bluetooth headset.
7) Open up emulator when game controller is connected.
8) When within range of my home town cell tower, switch on wifi, similarly when out of range of the tower, wait 2 mins then switch off wifi.

Do any of these require root?

I can't recall but I think secure settings requires root, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Most of them don't. Secure settings trigger different gps modes.

Ok cool thank you

Llama - is similar, as some alright features
I personally went for tasker and added secure settings
After 3 failed unlocks, takes picture on front cam and logs location
when face down, set phone to silent
when near home or work turn wifi on
when at home and connected to wifi, turn lock off
when connected to bluetooth in car turn lock off
on boot set lock to on

similar to others... other additions:
> read SMS sender and text contents while connected to car bluetooth [developing] (anyone know the right audio channel to play notifications through?)
> shake vertically to lock device (too big to always reach power button)
and per someone's earlier question yes you need root for secure settings to do most of its worthwhile tasker actions. although my secure settings is not working for enabling/disabling pattern unlock in 5.0 [liquidsmooth v4.0 unofficial]

I mainly use it to control the lights at home. I haven't been able to think of any other use cases for me

want to share this? looks a bit nifty

Below are the Tasker Profiles that I use:
1. Turn Wifi On when I'm connected to a cell tower near home. Turn off when I exit.
2. Notify to take my ID card when disconnected from wifi (reminds me in the elevator)
3. Turn on silent mode when I'm connected to a cell tower near office.
4. Switch to 2G when screen is off.
5. Turn on location for Maps, Uber, etc. Turn off when not using.
6. Increase the display timeout when using Feedly, Facebook, Play Store, etc. Change it back to 15 secs when not using.

Superquick:
New Profile "Shake it off" > Event > Shake Backwards & Forwards > Sensitivity = High, Duration = Medium > New Task "LockSystem" > If %SCREEN ~ on > System Lock
Note the "IF Screen ~ ON" otherwise while your phone is in your pocket it will keep locking which is not a problem untill you try to run with your phone playing music and you get the lock sound effect every step you take
The "Shake Backwards-Forwards" is not intuitive but the shake actions are sort of misnamed in tasker. This locks the phone if you shake it up and down vertically [insert masturbation gesture here].
The medium duration is also key so you get the right kind of threshold for not having the screen go off while you ride the bus but also not having to shake it for a while.

Google now reminders ignoring Interruptions settings in Priority mode?

I'm on 5.1. I want to set priority mode so that it behaves similarly to the old silent mode on prior Android versions. For example, when I'm sleeping, I want to set up priority mode so that I ONLY get alarms (no sound or vibrate for calls, messages, reminders, other app notifications, etc.).
Anyway, I have configured the following settings:
When calls and notifications arrive -> Allow only priority interruptions
Priority interruptions:
Events and reminders -> ***OFF***
Calls -> OFF
Messages -> OFF
My problem is that, even though "Events and reminders" is set to OFF, I STILL get a notification sound and vibration for reminders set within Google Now. However, this DOESN'T happen for reminders attached to notes within Google Keep. I haven't yet tested all the other possibilities with Calendar events and reminders.
In the "App notifications" settings for the "Google App", Priority is OFF.
What is the expected behavior?
This seems like a bug to me.
As an additional comment, it seems like it would be useful to have customizable presets for the Interruptions settings. Depending on the situation, I may want to configure interruption settings differently. For example, sleep vs. in-a-meeting vs. driving vs. in-a-movie-theater, etc. Rather than having a single "Priority" mode, there could be a drop-down where you select from an arbitrary number of customized presets.
Finally, how do the per-app notification priority settings interact with the Interruptions settings? For example, what is supposed to happen if I turn on Priority in the per-app notifications settings for Hangouts, but have Messages OFF in the Interruptions settings. What happens when I get an SMS?

Have you checked the settings in the Google Now app itself? Notifications are set up as either priority or none for the app. Looks like they are set to priority by default. Google Now> tap the 3 lines and select settings> Now Cards.... see the screenshots below.

I have Ringtone set to silent and vibrate turned on. In priority mode, I still get a sound for reminders. I don't really understand what these settings do.

Automatic Do Not Disturb

With my Pixel 3 I could set it to automatically go into Do Not Disturb during a calendar event (such as a meeting). I can't find this setting on the S10. Is it there, or is there an app that will do it automatically?

You can set this up in Tasker. It's a bit of a learning curve to create each scenario you want, but it can work very well.
I currently have it changing my sound mode to Vibrate and media volume to 1 when I connect to my work's WiFi. And then it will change the sound mode to Normal and media volume Max when I connect to my car's bluetooth.

I'm using Bixby Routines to set separate Do Not Disturb rules - one for weekends and one for weekdays. Surprised Samsung didn't include this ability in the Do Not Disturb settings like the Pixels have.

Trying to make a sleep mode profile for my oneplus 7 pro.....

There is so much do not disturb customization in this version of android or perhaps specific to oneplus. I am not sure which. That I'm not sure how to make this do what I'm used to it doing on my previous device LG G4. During the day I have it more or less as follows I may be forgetting some things:
Only ring if the phone call is from someone in my contacts.
Text messages always sound etc no matter who sent them.
Email always sounds.
Calendar always sounds.
What I need is the profile to silence everything while I sleep. To do this on the LG G4 I had a sleep profile from 12am to 12pm that set all volume controls to zero. And somehow though I can't remember ended that sleep profile early if I had an alarm go off during that time frame so that I could be disturbed because I was no longer sleeping after the alarm went off. The reason for the 12am to 12pm time frame was to give leeway to time going to bed and also time for waking up without an alarm. The idea was so that I didn't forget to silence things before going to be and forget to undo that once I was awake.

So typically DND settings built into android allow at least close to this level of control. I'm not sure how Oxygen OS is configured, but on a Pixel I can configure DND to ring only for starred contacts, but allow text and other notifications through. Or, silence everything.
All of that said, you should be able to manage volume levels through Tasker, reject (send to voicemail) calls that are not in your contacts.
If you import your old profile, doesn't it work on the OnePlus?

Stupid me I forgot to backup my old tasker stuff so I have to start from scratch again.
In the do not disturb setting UI of the settings UI there are the following:
Toggle DND on/off: this is toggled on and is set to stay on all the time.
Behavior heading
Notifications: tapping it opens a new UI giving you some default choices for notifications in general. I have this set to no sound at all. And override DND in specific areas outside of this part of settings regarding notifications from SMS/MMS messages, email, voicemail, calendar alarms. Might be one or two I am forgetting to mention.
Exception heading
Calls: tapping here brings up settings to allow calls from (anyone, contacts only, starred contacts only, none.) I have this set to contacts only.
Messages: same detail as calls. Set same as calls.
Other sounds: toggles to allow alarms, media, and touch sounds. I have these toggled to allow.
As for the other stuff that overrides DND I accessed that setting from within each of the apps settings. Not sure if that was a redirect from the app settings to a system settings area that I'm not aware of how to get to otherwise. So what I need is a profile that will mute everything while I sleep and return to how everything is currently set. On the LG G4 I accomplished this by turning all volumes to zero for sleep and then restored them all to 100% upon either the end time trigger of the sleep profile on upon an alarm I set to get up before the end of the timeframe of the profile.
What I was wondering if this was the way to go or if a more simple toggle one setting would accomplish it. I didn't see any DND setting in the system setting for no interruptions at all despite the overrides set. What I'm thinking is the same approach as before and set media, notification, ringer, and system volumes to zero and restore to 100% at end. The part I can't remember how I did it was ending the sleep profile when an alarm goes off that I set to a time prior to the end of the timeframe of the profile. Any idea how I would have done that?

I think which ever way gets you where you want to be is the way to go [emoji6]
On my Google phone, that's the ability to mute everything except alarms. There is also a toggle to disable DND when an alarm goes off.
As far as using tasker to turn volumes back up when an alarm goes off, my way of doing that is to intercept the notification for the alarm. Again, I'm using Google clock, and the way the notifications work may be different on your device.
Here is a taskernet share of a basic project using a notification intercept of the Google Clock alarm. Because there can be namespace collisions with imported projects, I append a variant of my username into variables, task and project names.

For everything to work the way it did I would need the sleep profile to end when an alarm goes off. The problem is I can't remember how that was done. I don't see an end condition that can be added to the sleep profile. The actual sleep profile is the only part I can remember enough to have replicated at this point. It being a from 12am to 12pm with a start task that turns all the volumes down to zero and an end task that turns them all back up. The alarm part I can't recall how it was done.

What was wrong with the notification intercept I shared?
That particular project was to put a large dismiss/snooze on the screen for a low vision individual, but it intercepts the alarm firing notification (for Google clock) and as I already said, intercepting the notification is the way I would do it.

It looks like it is a nice project, but it is requiring a plug-in. However the toggle was made before didn't require any additional things to be added. Isn't there a native event or state that a profile can trigger when an alarm goes off?

I assumed you tried using the native alarm clock or alarm done events in a profile and those didn't work. If you haven't, then try them. They don't work on my devices.
You could research java functions to get the next alarm and use the native java function action to then set a profile time context.
Remembered that tasker was designed to be a framework into which functionality could be added through plugins.

One of those is probably what was used on my LG G4. Now to figure out if this was a part of the one profile or a separate profile. I assume 2nd profile as I don't see any way of adding a 2nd end condition to the first. I remember when it was originally designed the conversation arriving at a solution to function as wanted was a long one. What bothered me is that the thread it took place in is missing from the forum it took place in. I even attempted to inquire there again about making it but after a week of no response I figured it was no longer a good place to post at.

What do you mean "2nd end condition"? A second context (condition) in the profile? Long press the first context.

The sleep profile uses time condition 12am to 12pm. I only need a 2nd condition that ends it but doesn't impact the start. I know for sure I can do that with a second profile now that I know what I needed to use to as event trigger. I can run a task that toggles off the sleep profile and toggles it back on some hours later to trigger again at 12am. I wasn't sure if the alarm event could be an alternative condition for end so that the sleep profile was 12am to alarm done or 12pm.
