Do not disturb mode won't act as scheduled - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
My XT1092 is refusing to reactivate notifications after the scheduled time I select. It just stays in "None" mode and the most irritating fact, besides not receiving notifications when I want to, is that, whenever this happens, the option says "always" as if I had set it so.
Running 5.1 retde, I use xposed and a couple modules I could relate to the problem (Amplify and PowerNap) but I'm sure I didn't edit any sensitive configuration in the former and I can't seem to find any related service to whitelist in the latter. It used to work fine until this behaviour randomly appeared, and I've been using these modules for ages with no problems.
Clearing the cache partition didn't help.
P.S: I really wouldn't want to factory reset...
Thank you in advance

[Q] Ambient display failure

It worked when I first booted up. After a few hours it quit. I did a factory reset, and the same thing happened. I then went through my running apps and turned them off until none were running except the system apps. Still didn't work.
Anyone else have this happen that can suggest a fix? If I have to reset and install apps one by one, how do I do that, since on signing into Google the apps auto load

To fix auto load, you can change the system setting to not backup apps; it's in Settings > Backup & reset. I thought upon initial Google account sign in you could switch that setting off too, and that prevents the apps from auto-installing. I have backup turned off because on previous devices and versions of Android it was contributing to battery drain.

I did what you suggested, adding single apps and confirming the ambient function worked. Found an app that seemed to be the cause, and upon uninstalling it the ambient function came on line. However, about a half hour later, it stopped working again. Spent over an hour on the phone with Moto, and they figured out that ambient doesn't respond unless the phone has been asleep more than 10 seconds. That seemed to work for me. So I did my 4th reset/install of the day, and again, it worked for a while, even with all my apps (including the one that seemed to be the cause in the first place). And then, it stopped again.
I searched, and one suggestion was that ambient won't work unless you have a locked screen. I usually don't use a lock, but what the hey, I'll try it. Set up a pattern unlock and (wait for it.........).
Nope.
I'm stumped.......
Mine seems to stop displaying the ambient as well. It will display a few times initially and then stops. I don't know if it extends its sleep period after every interval or not. Also seems like if you lift up your phone to look at your ambient notifications, that disables any repeat display too

Phone Does Not Exit Do Not Disturb Mode

So I just got a GS8. Fantastic phone. The only issue I am noticing is that when the phone enters "Do not Disturb" mode, it does not exit as scheduled. Typically it is set to turn on at 10 PM each night and turn off at 6 AM the next day. (save for the alarm that goes off at 5 AM). The alarm goes off fine. The phone, however, stays in "Do not Disturb" mode well past 6 AM and until I turn it off. Anyone else notice similar behavior? Could this result from the phone being connected to the A/C charger? I ask because when I set "Do not Disturb" to turn on and off at work it does so just fine. At work the phone is not connected to a charger.
I'm blanking on​ what it was, but I was running an app that was causing this issue. I've looked through my Google play library and just can't recall what it was. Might have had something to do with volume control. Start by removing anything you aren't using. If the problem persists, try removing anything that sounds like it could interact with audio or notifications until you find it. Worst case, factory reset, confirm issue is gone, then add things back until issue recurrs. I'll try again to jog my memory.

This gets weirder and weirder. So, I am coming from a Mate 9. on that phone I could set multiple Do Not disturb profiles. So I had one set for overnight (10 PM to 6 AM and one set for work hours (7 AM to 3:30 PM). Although the GS8 only allows one profile, it seems to have "remembered" the second profile. I say this because the phone went into "do not disturb" at 7 AM. I am not even sure how that's possible. I did restore apps via the google, but I cannot think of anything else besides what you are recommending. I may have to do a factory data reset as you recommend and set everything up.

You could turn off the built in Do Not Disturb and use an app like Do Not Disturb Plus to control the DND schedule.

You know, as long as I have had an android phone and I didn't think to do that. I should have. One issue I need to deal with is whether turning off the built-in Do Not Disturb disables that suspected hidden profile. If so, then I am good to go, if not, then I need to do the factory reset before using an app from the playstore (probably gives me more options than what Samsung allows).
Thanks.

Resetting the device did the trick. rather than restoring apps from the Huawei Mate 9, I started fresh and downloaded apps from the app store. A pain, but it worked. Thanks again.

[Solved] Calling issue from the Call Log P10 Lite

On all my previous Huawei devices (Ascend P6, G7 and P9 Lite) with various iterations of EMUI, when I went into the call log, I would press on one of the entries, and it would automatically dial the number of the contact.
On my P10 lite (WAS-LX1C02B120), when I press on a call log entry, it opens the "Edit before call" screen, so I need to press the call button in order to call my contact. I have checked in the call settings for a way to turn this off, but I couldn't find anyway to change this.
Is this new behaviour from EMUI 5.1 and up normal, or is this a bug? I'm really hoping it's the latter, and that it will be fixed in a firmware update. If not, then I hope there will be an option to turn this behaviour on or off, since I find it a bit tedious, especially since EMUI 5.1 is supposed to be more intuitive, using less steps to do various actions.
I would prefer not using a third-party dialer, so am hoping for a solution to this.
EDIT: I've solved the problem! After doing a factory reset, restoring my backup, and still having the issue, I uninstalled each and every one of my apps, to check which app what causing it. It turns out it's my RCS+ messaging option that causes this bug! Disabling this option fixes the issue!
Ok, so I have no idea what changed, but it seems to be working as expected now. I had no updates, and I definitely didn't change any settings! It's the craziest thing! [emoji848]
Anyway, I'll see if it changes again.

I just tried to make a call from my call log, and it's doing the same thing as before, where I need to press the green dial button before it makes the call! It's so frustrating!!

First of all, I noticed that I was able to make a call directly from the call log, immediately after a restart, but a few seconds later, it would go to the "Edit before call" screen, which made me realise that it had to be one of my apps that are loading in the background. Anyway, long story short, it's fixed now! I don't use RCS anyway, so I'll just keep it disabled until it gets fixed. :good:

P20 Pro Vibrates Randomly

So, over the last few weeks I've found that my P20 Pro vibrates for no (known reason), every now and again. Usually multiple times per day.
I've tried turning it off and back on, killing the apps, checking for updates, turning notifications off on most apps.
Has anyone had a similar problem and /or has any way of diagnosing or fixing it?
I have experienced the same thing, so you're not totally alone if that helps. I haven't found the cause yet either. I suspect it might be WiFi+ vibrating when the source switches back and forth so it'll happen in stints for me.
i have the same thing and i think i might found the reason, i have some muted WhatsApp chat groups and it seems like that every now and then when i get messages in these groups my phone vibrates although i muted them . There is no notification but a short vibration.
Another thing that bothers me more is when receiving an whats app message my phone vibrates once short and after that the way i set it up in the settings...
I begin to get it after an update. hope to see a solution soon.
No
I believe I've found the cause and solution to the Huawei mate 20 pro random vibrations.
I installed a notification logger from the play store and found that it was logging notifications of repetitive image downloads completing that lined up with every buzz.
If you go into settings, apps and choose to see system apps in the menu, you can force close the download and download manager apps. If you then clear the data and cache from each, you should find the phantom notifications stop.
I haven't had one in days now, and it was all the time.
I hope this is of help.
This happens to me a lot. Its mainly due to voice recognition thinking I'm am speaking to the phone. It happens randomly when watching TV, at work on even in the train. There's no specific key work that triggers it,. It happens at random. This is my issue with the random vibration but your could be a different reason although

Mine was definitely the download manager continuously redownloading Google photos images. Force stop, clear data, clear cache of the download and download manager system apps and mine has been fine now for a week. Try it!
Had the same issue months ago. Cleaning cache and data of stock download manager app solved it for me.
Mine started doing same yesterday ?
I have the mate 20 pro, and it's just started randomly vibrating with no notification
So my phone is now starting to randomly vibrate like bursts of short vibrations that last a while, but there's no notifications or anything? I don't know how to find the "download manager" to check if it's that. I'm not sure which apps to force stop. It's really annoying though.
Do you use Textra? Happened to my wife's s8 and she just uninstalled then reinstalled Textra to make the problem go away.
I have cleared the download manager and everything else several times, but it only works for few days even hours and starts again. I'm not sure if it activities itself again after I download something, but nevertheless, this just shouldn't happen. How can I disable download manager permanently (or preferably just the vibrations, as I assume DM is there for a reason)
Had the same issue. No problem from textra, for me it was google drive. I uninstalled it, cleared cahe and data and I am now using OneDrive. I haven't experienced any random vibrations since then.
Mate 20 X had similar issue after EMUI 9.1 upgrade and turned out to be contacts sync system app constantly trying to sync contacts. Force stop and cleared data and all good now.
I have the same issue on regular mate 20 since the last software update to EMUI 9.1.0. All the suggested solutions here did not resolve the issue. If someone has more suggestions please share
I fixed it. It's a system application called "Contacts Sync" disabling it solved the issue for me.
Settings > apps > show system processes > search for Contacts Sync > disable and force close it

This didnt work for me, but i found another solution. I stopped almost all apps from autostart. except email and messangers. that immediately solved the issue and the phone boots much faster as well, nice sideeffect
You need to go into battery usage and then click on the individual app, then app launch.
I hope that helps

I just noticed this on my mate 20x on 9.1 on vibrate mode. Did your solution permanently resolve this issue or do you have to do it multiple times or after restarts?

Yes it did. I force close it and disabled it from app settings. Never came back

Scheduled do not disturb

If I set a schedule, do not disturb turns on, but it does not turn off in the morning, I've only seen it work once.
What about everyone else?
It works fore me as expected. No problems.
Sent from my XQ-AT51 using Tapatalk
Same with me. It often doesn't turn off in the morning.
How can they mess up software between phones lol.
I've had it with Asus on the rog 2. Things don't work for me and perfect for some others, but not all.
It works normally for me. It might related to an application.
Envoyé de mon XQ-AT51 en utilisant Tapatalk
I'd have no idea what app might be doing that.
I've also had issues with scheduled DND not working - turns on normally but doesn't turn off at the scheduled time
If you are like me and migrated from another Android phone to Sony XPeria 1 II and restored your backup onto the new phone, then you probably have issues with the "Do Not Disturb" you had in the old phone. I was going bonkers trying to figure out why it didn't work. Changing the schedule profile didn't fix it either. What finally fixed it was deleting the schedule altogether and then creating a new schedule. Then it worked as intended.
Also, ticking "Alarm can override" option messes up the schedule as well.
I have the same problem even when I set 2 schedules hoping the 2nd one will work as a backup... I don't think I imported the schedule from old phone settings. Anyway i will delete and create a brand new schedule. Fingers crossed.

The function works properly, it's just that the indicator stays on. Maybe it's by design, to show that a schedule is active, regardless if at that moment notifications are enabled or not. My do not disturb schedule ends at 10 am, at that moment I get all notifications of the night before, but the indicator is still on.

Unfortunately didn't work for me most of the time as phone stayed in DND mode (even though alarm will sound) and frustrating since I missed a lot of calls since I don't get any ring sound or notifications sound.

As stated above, the phone is on silent mode. Notifications are there but no sound. I have to turn off DND manually and it is frustrating!
Just to report in: I've definitely had issues with DND. I thought it may have been a magisk module or something that I've done, but I think it's clear that it's something going on with the ROM itself. The only things I migrated from my old phone was text messages. Everything else was new data. Unless every random person in this thread happens to be doing the same weird thing that prevents this, the ROM itself has issues.
A user (cmahey) from Reddit mentioned that in the main DND menu there's a 'Default duration' option, just set it to 'Ask Every Time' and problem solved. I have tested for 2 days and seems to be working!

You are right, I always have my phone on silent, but I saw the notifications coming through, so I assumed that it worked properly.
I did some reading, many brands seem to have this problem. And I did some testing and found a working solution (at least on my device): If you go to Settings, Sound, Do not Disturb, go to the schedule that you set and go to it's properties. there you will see a setting which translated from Dutch should be something like The clock can ignore the endtime. It's the setting under the Endtime. Disable this setting. Now it should work properly (I tested only one day now, so no guarantees)

Will try this!
Well that didn't work......guess I'll just stick to manually turning DND off. At least it turns on at night time, which is the main thing.
After I installed the latest firmware update (194) it is working correctly since 2 days.
