I'm a new Note 8 owner/user. I've been searching high and low, and the majority of my search results lead here to XDA, but still left me looking for a solution, so naturally I made an account.
I'm trying to get multiple alert tones to work. I know about making the Notifications folder, or moving downloaded alert/ringtones to the existing Notifications folder so they can be set using the Settings>Notification Sounds option. My problem is that I can only change the "Default Notification Sound", "Message Notifications" and "Calendar Notifications". That I can do without issue.
I'd like to be able to change notifications for specific apps, i.e. GMail, when I get a new e-mail would have a different notification vice a Facebook alert.
If this has already been answered elsewhere and my Google-fu isn't up to snuff, could someone kindly point me in the right direction, or possibly show me a guide to get this accomplished? I'd be greatly appreciative.
I use macrodroid paid to sound specific sounds for any event of interest to me, so I know without looking what is exactly happening in my phone, I find it very useful, it is way more easy to use than tasker

So I take it this isn't something that can be done natively through the device itself?

Be advised that, free version only allows 5 macros, paid one has no limitation, do not forget to exclude macrodoid from batt optimization, put it in the unmonitored section
most apps with audible notifications have an option in their own settings screen to set an alternative sound.
with gmail you can even set different sounds for different email accounts.

It wasn't an app, it was just an idea that someone came up. But it was never done. It was just an idea of development Although I don't think it's useful, but would love to see how they pull it out.
Different notifications TO YOU you mean?
What is the point?
Except if you mean auto reply to them (SMS or EMail) based on who they are.
CommManagerPro (you'll find it in XDA Devs) is adding this functionality in the next version (among other things).
Try Ringo. Its a WinMo software that enables you to set separate ringtones and SMS tones for each separate contact. The user interface is very very simple, it is a great application to have and use. Either try searching for it Google, or you might be able to find it on this forum using search.

No I meant like how you have custom ringtones for your contacts, I could have sworn I saw a thread with an app that allowed you to set custom SMS tones for your contacts instead of just one default SMS sound, but the other guy said it was just a concept for an application, :-(
Interesting idea.

as already stated - RINGO is an app that can do this for you.
I am just about to get one of these phones but was wondering if it has the ability to switch off calls/notifications at night between specified times?
I believe the S3 has blocking mode and iOs has Do not disturb.
If it doesn't have this ability are there any apps on the play store that people could recommend that would do this?
Cheers

If it does, then it's very well hidden. i can't find such option.

There is an app in the play store called SEER that works like a charm.

Do any of the apps have the ability to set it so one number still rings, as I am on call and need the phone on silent unless work ring.

That's an unethical practice disturbing an employee while on his sleep considering the fact that it's not already work hours. lol! You should know your rights! You deserve a healthy living still you know haha!
Anyways I'm not sure about the HTC One... Don't have it yet but on past HTC Devices there's this feature called Smart Group... You could assign contacts on that group and add options on it like the notification settings for each particular group. And yeah you can configure it to be silent on a specified time or switch ringtones on specified times also.

If you want some serious automation, check out Tasker.
It s not free, and not easy to get used to, but with some perseverence it can do just about anything.
The easy stuff is shutting radios and volume off between hours. Also simple to nominate a specific contact so that person can still make your phone ring.
With some practice you'll get it automatically muting your phone when you walk into your favourite cinema.
Or adjusting settings depending on battery levels.
Or turn your wi-fi on when you get home.
Or waiting until you are on a certain part of your drive home from work and text the wife to say you are on the way, and to get dinner ready! :laugh:
Check out some of the pre-made "recipies" others have made for Tasker than you can download and import...
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
Nevermind thought it had a night mode it doesn't
Or another suggestion would be BusyMe all it does it set times to silence your phone. Very simple and work perfect. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fernandodunn.android.busyme.lite
I use an app called power schedule basic which does this as well and is very customisable. You can use it to set silent mode at night, wifi on and off schedules, ring profiles and other stuff.

I think Tasker is overkill (doesn't mean it's bad). I can't judge is functionality but it's just too much work to accomplish simple things. That's why I settled for Llama.
Some ideas, maybe the best if we can accepnt call from some group of contacts such as favorites...
Any idea?

Llama allows you to put your phone into quiet mode but still let calls ring your phone but only from specified contacts. It's not as simple as just selecting your favorites group but you can select allowed contacts.
The reason I sought this specific app was due to Smart Actions on my Razr HD. I loved it but found it was too limited. Llama fills in the gap.

No root required to disable apps. However, to remove them, then the phone needs to be rooted.

Tried it out just now, thanks for linking it @blkghost22, I've been trying to find a way to disable certain things and this did it!
Stock Music app sometimes comes up when I connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth, and there wasn't any easy way to disable it
I also recommend going to Filter, typing ATT, and disabled all that crap too - I've done everything except Knox, Remote Support, and Usage manager.... someone needs to come up with a safe list of apps to disable to debloat this device, it would be very helpful!
Will this let me disable stuff like the built in browser? Because there are some aid that the phone just won't let you disable which I find really dumb.

It should, I don't know the title of it from an APK or package standpoint (I know it's called Internet, but I can't find it searching right now), but once you find it, you can disable it

I'm at 55 apps disabled so far, and I don't think I'm being all that aggressive with disabling TW / Samsung / ATT features..... Anyone know of a good safe list for this phone yet where we can really speed this thing up? Not like it really needs it, but there's lots of hidden crap on it running we know about but haven't been able to disable previously

Honestly, and I appreciate you looking to me for advice, I don't think I'm the best one to go off of, I know that nothing I've disabled was going to crash my phone, but it's all that TW / Samsung / ATT features like I was saying - the program allows you to filter by text used, even if in the middle of a package name, and that helped a few times tracking down some odd APKs
I read on Forbes that the S6 has 56 apps of bloatware on it, and I'm at 55 disabled apps, with a lot of TW / Samsung / ATT features still running, so most likely that was a list of what they could see from the app drawer or something....
Nothing from me. Just wanted to see if people actually tried it. If it worked then go thank the dev or programmer of that debloating app.

haha no i didnt see it.
Has anyone seen this App permission monitor pop up while doing something completely normal and keep letting you know every time you use it? For me, I'm using Google Messages as my default SMS app, and this thing pops up telling me "1 apps have been detected using 1 permissions" and lists Messages | SMS.
OBVIOUSLY.
What's even stranger is that I went to app permissions and it says that Messages is authorized for SMS, just like I okay'd it when Messages was set as the default SMS app. What gives? I think this might come in handy when an app goes rogue, using permissions without me saying it was okay to do so, but in this case, it's like saying "water is wet." When you click on the notification, it says that Messages has been using permissions in the background.... What?
Any thoughts on how to okay this with App permission monitor so I can text without this warning all the time (and no, I'm not about to hide notifications of it since it could be helpful in the future).
Go into Settings > Lock Screen and Security > App Permissions Monitor and turn it off.

You can actually go in and tell it to not report permission uses for specific apps instead of turning it off completely. Instead of clicking the rifle just click on the words so permission monitor and it'll give the full list of apps and you can shut off reporting for apps you trust.

THANK YOU. This is what I was looking for. I didn't know what you were referring to at first, I was just getting the notification because I didn't see it in Settings (there is so much stuff in there now, you just about have to use the search feature for everything these days!), but now that I found it, I clicked on the words, not the toggle switch, and set Messages to NOT monitor. Perfect, thank you.
I am kind of confused. What did you search to make it go away? This is getting so annoying because it is always telling me textra is using SMS and I am not sure what to do to make it stop. Like you I would still like to keep the monitor on I just wish it would stop telling me what I already know.

I was a little confused as well so this is what I did to correct it.
SETTINGS >> LOCK SCREEN AND SECURITY >> APP PERMISSION MONITOR
From there you should go down to the android Messages app and toggle it to off. That will disable giving the warning every time you send a message.
Hope that helps.

I am assuming you are using a 3rd party messaging app from the play store?
I am still getting the notifications even though for instance Contacts is allowed to be used by Android Messages, I get the notification everytime I send or receive a text.
I tried turning the monitor off completely, still getting notifications.
All since I upgraded to a new Samsung patch last night on my S8+.
In fact I got the notification just now after I toggled the setting to off...I checked and the toggle is back on.
