[Q] Priority notification mode turning off on its own, even on "Indefinitely"?

[Q] Priority notification mode turning off on its own, even on "Indefinitely"?
The last few nights I've noticed that when I wake up, my phone is no longer in priority notification mode. At night, I set it to priority only and choose "indefinitely"...even verifying that it's on that setting by going back to it...and when I wake up, it's in normal mode.
I have no "Down Time" hours set and see no other settings that seem to imply turning it off automatically...
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks!

Yes I'm having the same issue as you described. Noticed it 2 nights ago and thought I was disabling it in my sleep, lol.
Any work arounds? I'm thinking of doing a factory reset but not until I've exhausted all possible solutions. Hope this is an actual issue and not just 1 or 2 stray scenarios

I never figured it out. Switched back to using Light Flow for notifications...

Okay last night I uninstalled Light Flow which seemed to have been the problem causing this behavior. It seems to automatically want to disable priority mode but I don't know what exactly is triggering it, but uninstalling Light Flow seemed to have retained priority mode all night long with no issues upon waking up.
I also updated my review on the Play Store to address the issue, hoping for a fix soon. Hopefully you figure out your problem, mine was caused by a notifications app from what I've tested so far. Will see if it holds up tonight as well.

Having same issue, no additional notification apps installed. Stock android on nexus 6 no root or anything yet. Thought I was loosing my mind thinking I never set it. Happens almost every night. Seems like a bug.

I'm having the opposite. On boot, priority mode is enabled even though it was off on shutdown. I turn it off then throughout the day I notice it come on again. I haven't been able to track anything down yet. I don't use lightflow.
Are there any logs that I can see that might tell me what is turning it on? There are no Downtime schedules.

So I finally got tired of Light Blow being buggy on the Nexus 6 and uninstalled it a few days ago...two nights in a row I set priority to "indefinitely" and when I woke up I found it had been turned off...so I don't think it's Light Flow causing the problem.

Sleep Mode not working, even with downtime

I have moto x with Lollipop. I cannot get the sleep mode to work correctly. I am getting notification sounds at night waking me up. Yes all my settings are set correctly with Downtime and Sleep Mode. Am I missing something? Anyone else experiencing this with Lollipop?

As much as I love Lollipop, as much as I love the Moto X, downtime and priority notifications are a mess. They should've just disabled one or the other... I've been tinkering with mine all day to get it to work with my meetings on my calendar.

Same exact issue as you. Even though in priority mode I have all 3 option turned off (call/texts etc) I still get notification sounds coming through. I have tried every possible combination without success. The new notification system is the perfect example of "fixing" something that wasn't broken to begin with.
My only solution that I've found to work is to use Power Toggles as a widget. It let's you select 4 volume settings and has worked without a hitch. Hopefully the issue just a bug... But I won't hold my breath for a transparent or timely fix.
Give Power Toggles a try, works great!

So here is what I did. I completed a factory reset and it works now, but don't do a factory reset. Here is why it works. I went to the sounds and notifications, app notifications. I have hangouts and Gmail set to priority meaning it will alert me even when it is set to priority mode only and notifications are set to silent. Stupid me for changing that to begin with. Check that area.

Believe it or not, I double checked those too. They are greyed (unchecked) so I shouldn't still be receiving the notifications. I factory reset may have been what fixed it for you. Speaking generally, it's ridiculous that anyone would have to do that in order to have things work as they should. But I guess you can say there are always some bugs whenever a new update is rolled out - it's frustrating nonetheless.

One Marshmallow user's impressions

http://tomhorsley.com/rants/doze-mode.html
I'm definitely reverting back to 5.1.1 when I get the time and energy to fool with it .

sounds like that was written by someone who hasn't even tried marshmallow yet. I have yet to experience any missed notifications, alarms or any issues relating to time in any way. If some apps are being affected by this then its a sign to the developer to fix their ****ty code because all of my apps relating to time at all have been working just fine and alot of them are still the same version they were on lollipop. Doze has improved my batter significantly. It sounds like this article was probably written by a developer who cant code properly and instead of improving his skills he'd rather complain and convince everyone to stay away from updates because he is unwilling to evolve. Even the article looks like it was written in paint...

I had indeed a wrong time bug some days ago...really strange and worrying, a reboot fixed it. First time ever since Android Froyo that I experienced something like that.

That author seems to think that Marshmallow's Doze is a horrible thing that breaks all apps that rely on background services, namely alarms and notifications, and couldn't possibly be fixed in 10 years (rather than a few months) due to Google's horrible mistake (rather than devs not fixing their code).
Frankly, it sounds like a bunch of hyperbole.

He's wrong about how doze works. And if he's in the camp that doesn't understand it nor wants to rewrite his app. Then yeh he's the idiot group that Google is targeting and was writing garbage code anyway.

lol complete nonsense, my alarm has worked everyday since i flashed M, even on dev previews...the only issues i have with M are really the "slow to connect wifi when using toggles" and the weird wifi consumption on battery stats

Another annoying issue on M is that if your leave your phone longer in standby mode (display off), wifi turns off and you stop recieving notifications until you turn your phone on again. This is with wifi set to "never turn off", etc.

This actually happened with me a couple of days back, I was travelling, so I put my phone connected to a power bank and went for a nap, woke up to see phone switched off, switching it on throws me a 2nd September date set on my device. Had to manually set the date as no network was available to automatically set the date from servers.

This I had been noticing these days just because of WhatsApp Web. When in standby, WhatsApp Web shows phone not connected error. Just waking the phone reconnects to the WiFi, but happens every 30-40mins.

I have a feeling that folks who never see these problems have their phones charging at night and doze mode doesn't happen when you are charging. I have no convenient way to charge my phone near my bed, so it is not charging and totally idle all night. Email and messaging completely stops. Only the stock alarm clock works. My medication reminder stops working. It might as well be turned off completely. Plus when you do wake up and turn on the phone, all the pent up alerts come through and scare the hell out of you. I hate doze mode.

Settings -> Battery -> ... (menu)-> Battery Optimization --> All apps --> Select whatsapp, etc... and select not optimized.
Test again.
You're welcome.

I already disabled optimization in the battery settings for all the apps that weren't working. They still don't work after sitting overnight. It looks as if that setting has absolutely no effect.

This is a real problem. I tested this on a Nexus 5. The device seems to enter Doze after about 1 hour and this is what happens.
What does work in Doze mode:
- Telephone: call can be heard.
- Alarm: alarm can be heard
What does NOT work in Doze mode:
- Receiving mail notifications directly: it seems to wait for the maintenance window. There is no "ping" from my GMail. No lock screen notification until I picked it up. I turned off battery optimalization as suggested. Like Claghorn says, it doesn't make a difference. When I was sleeping, the time difference between sending the mail and getting a notification can be hours. That is not acceptable: I want to determine whether or not I get a message. I got no control over Doze, except plugging it in. Also, when it sits on the desk at work I need to pick it up or turn the screen on every so often, because I don't know if it "dozed" off again.
Works partially:
- Notification light: It works once mail passes through the maintenance window. It does NOT work before the maintenance window.
I tested all of this with a unrooted, updated Nexus 5. Topic Starter and Claghorn have good points. Why can't I turn this off? I don't want this. I want notification on time, with ping, right now. If I don't I will turn the volume off or set priorities. They could have told me this behavior in a mail or during the update. Important mail from work, family comes in hours late. Not happy with this at all.
Tried all sorts of things, nothing seems to help. And no, battery optimalization is either not enough or has nothing to do with it. I love the Nexus 5. Marshmallow seems to be much smoother than Lollipop. I was happy with the update until I discovered this. Now, I am fustrated. I expect the phone to inform me when I need to be informed. Most days I don't need to save 10% of power anyway. For the first time I want to either root the phone and go back to Lollipop or even Kitkat. I don't know what else can be done. Fustrated.

A quick suggestion -
You may use Doze Mode Editor and edit the script so that your phone never enters Doze mode.
That way you can enjoy Marshmallow without Doze.

Thanks, I will look into that. I'd like to keep Mashmallow as a whole if possible. I think it is a good update in general.

OK, I've looked at the doze mode editor thread and I find that the descriptions of the parameters I can set to be totally confusing, however, the flowchart pointed at in that thread seems to indicate that if I set the "inactive_to" value to something like 24 hours, then all the other doze mode nonsense is unlikely to ever happen (because I'll probably turn on my phone at least once every 24 hours). Does that seem like the best way to essentially turn off doze mode?

I will look into this over the weekend. I find it odd that there isn't simply a switch to turn Doze off, which is a pity. It seems to me it's part of saving energy in general. A switch under Battery would do nicely. It should not be this complicated. That said, I think the UI of Marshmallow is silky smooth, much better than Lollipop. Marshmallow in general in good. It' just this that annoys me.

i'm baffled by google's aversion to end user config. This kind of b.s. is how I found xda and drove me to become a chronic flashaholic. All or nothin I guess.

I get the feeling Google assumes the customer is a developer. A few examples:
- The Nexus 5 does have a notification light: I didn't know until I read 5 reviews and even then I couldn't find any documentation on it. Needed an external app to get it working.
- Battery indicator: I like to have small numbers indicating battery charge: it could be done by hacking KitKat and Lollipop I think. Then at Marshmallow finally there's a (hidden) switch.
- I don't recall having any user guide in the Nexus 5 package. Not that I needed one. But some landing page doing a walkthrough would have been nice. Although there are some walkthroughs in every app
Not fatal flaws, but you wonder why does it need to be that difficult. It scares people away. Not me. I handed the Nexus 5 to some friends on numerous occasions and most found it too "empty". As for me, I want all developer stuff on. So it suprised me, there is no Doze fine tuning. Again, overall I give the Nexus a 8 or 9 out of 10. It fits me. In general I like it. So it's just constructive criticism. The empty layout and raw speed of the Nexus 5 works good in development of apps afterall.

Last night I ran an adb command (generated by the doze mode editor app) to set inactive_to to 24 hours (86400000 milliseconds). I then set an alarm for the next morning in the "Alarm Clock Plus" app (which completely ceased to function after Marshmallow showed up). This morning, the alarm actually went off on time, but the big "Dismiss" button it draws on the screen was totally non-functional. I had to hit the power button to get control (which then caused a popup saying alarm clock plus was non-responsive). I have no idea what caused all that behavior, but at least the alarm actually went off.
Also, with doze mode essentially disabled (in theory anyway), the power dropped from 100% in the evening all the way down to 97% in the morning.

With the exception to facebook and game type apps, Google's apps are the only ones I find that excessively waste resourxes and need to be forced to sleep. If they would get off the constant location polling, media scanning, and logging or at least tone it down a bit some they wouldnt need to implement thier half baked versions of solutions that they hijacked from xda devs

OnePlus 3 automatically going to silent mode [Temporary Fix]

Hi, I had this issue where onplus 3 was automatically going to silent mode, to get it back to normal i had to slide the alert slide all the way up and then down.
I found that this was happening because of true caller. I had enabled "Block spammer" where all the spam calls automatically gets rejected.
I observed that when ever a call is rejected the phone goes into silent, This is the only reason why phone goes into silent mode automatically.
Temporary fix: disable the Block spammer option

And you know what..... I have truecaller installed on my phone
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Doesn't resolve it
I have the same problem, but no truecaller or anything installed. So this doesn't resolve my problem.

I don't think truecaller is the problem. I have experienced it and true caller was not installed.
It hasn't happened for a week now.

It happens to me everyday, no trucaller installed.

Hello.
I also have this problem and I don't have TrueCaller installed.
Anyway, thanks for trying to help and sharing your experience.

This started to happen to me after I updated to Oxygen 3.2.1.
Dont know if the update introduced this, but that is when I first noticed it. I had about 6-7 occasions in last few days where I noticed that the phone is in silent mode although slider was set to full notifications. I then had to move the slider to silent and back to normal to fix it.
I dont use or have true caller installed here.

Same issue here

Same here, no true caller installed but phone went into silent mode at least 3 times within the last 2 days.
OxygenOS-Version 3.2.1

Not sure if anyone has figured out the solution yet, but I think I've narrowed down the problem a bit more: my phone goes to silent mode the same time each day, and I've noticed it's the same time that my previous phone would automatically go into silent mode (since it was set up to do that). It seems like since I've gotten my OP3, google or some kind of account backup must have remembered by previous auto silent setting and applied it here.

I don't know if that is true, because I have the same problem but I never had any of my previous phones set up to go into silent mode at any time.

I just had another goint into silent bug. First one today.

I read somewhere that a possible solution is to factory reset the device and choose not to restore any setting from previous device when configuring Google account.

I have the same problem (22.00 every night my phone goes into Silent mode) and my thoughts were also going along the lines of some Google profile setting from previous (Moto X) Android transferring across somehow. I did/do like it when I set a Silent time window during the night, however the OP3 does not come out of Silent in the morning (I then slide Alert up and down).
Seems a SW bug. And Hard Reset without transferring Google settings seems like I'd lose out on other things/settings that I've put in place over the years....

Same happened to me, had a priority schedule on previous phone at 22:00 and it got transferred over when I did the Google transfer thing. No idea how to change it, and I'm too lazy to do a factory reset since it means going to the bank to get my banking app activated
The most annoying to thing is that I lose keyboard sounds on SwiftKey even when I go back to normal mode from the scheduled Priority mode...

It has happened to me many times. I thought it was my old Do Not Disturb setting but today it happened around lunchtime.

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.
