How do I get my notifications like this: - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's what I want:
Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me. When they call me the phone VIBRATES only. No sound.
For all other notifications (texts, 3rd party notifications, emails, etc...) I want the LED to pulse. But the phone won't make a sound or vibrate. Then when I wake my screen, I see the notifications on my screen.
Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through. Volume all the way off and set to vibrate only. The LED pulses when I get texts, emails, etc. but I do not see the notifications on the lockscreen when I wake the phone. I did for awhile and I must have changed some setting because now they are not there. So I'll see the pulse, then I have to unlock it and the status bar shows the notification symbol for text, email etc..
Any help?

You just answered your own question.
"Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me."
"Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through."

I still don't know how to get the notifications to show on the lock screen though when it's set to that priority. They were showing up previously but I messed with settings and something went awry.

If you go to your Interruptions setting, you can choose which notifications to display. Or long press the icon in your notification tray.

Might you have possibly set it to "sensitive"? That doesn't seem like the behavior you're looking for, though, unless I'm misunderstanding you, Gzan23.

I thought this was standard Lollipop procedure, but maybe I'm remembering things differently. It's under Sound & Notification; Notifications; Apps; and you pick the app you want to modify.

you can disable the notification on the standard messaging app by going in the messaging app, clicking menu and under received messages make sure the recieved notification box is unchecked

SteelH pointed this thread out to me before I got my EVO, so I put it on my todo list to look at once I received.
After taking a look at it today, you can certainly remove the notification message at the bottom of the stock lock screen that appears when using the stock messaging app as well.
The only drawback is, if you consider it a drawback, is that you end up removing ALL notifications at the bottom of the lockscreen, such as missed calls, text messages, etc.
If this is still something those who posted in this thread want, let me know, and I can post something up. I'm thinking a MetaMorph is the optimal solution, so as to avoid any other changes that you may have done previously to your HTC Lock Screen.
^ not a drawback at all...
Im interested in what you cook up JS...
thanks in advance

My phones acting all glitchy..:(

First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.
No one has a response?
Factory reset it?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!

I hate how the m7 and m9 force you to answer with a full screen when aosp and even gs6 have that style in image
You can press dismiss to get rid of it, or answer will talk to the person who has graciously taken the time to call you.
People might forget that these devices are infact phones.
Lastly, you appear to have put a Batman pic for Bruce Wayne, such rumours are sure to get Gothamites talking.
OK, I might be totally wrong here, but I believe everyone has totally missed what PunishedSnake was asking about. The picture he posted is an example of what he wants, not what he wants to get rid of.
HTC uses a full screen to alert on incoming calls, and Android Lollipop uses a heads up notification or interruption.
I believe PunishedSnake is asking how to enable the heads up notification for incoming calls and disable HTC's full screen incoming call.
There is supposed to be an option to do this on ViperOne, but I haven't successfully got it to work, so other than that, regretfully, I am of no help.

HTC Boom Sound Notification on Status Bar

Is there a way to shut off HTC Boom sound notification on status bar? It is quite annoying to see it on status bar 100 times a day. Sometimes it just blinks for no reason.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It only Shows when something is playing.
So some Kind of App is responsible.
AFAIK you can't get rid of it now without root.
I wonder if you can use the disable notification feature built in to marshmallow if you can work out which app it is?
Might just be the settings app.
I don't have mine yet to try it out, but on my current Z3+ I can disable notifications generated by the main settings app.
I've read about this and it'll probably annoy me. I like a tidy status bar. The little keyboard option selector on my G4 that pops up when I'm using my keyboard annoys me, too.

On HTC 10?
I'm fairly certain the only way to get rid of it on G4 is to delete/disable all keyboards except one. I use SwiftKey and cannot disable LG Keyboard so I'm stuck with it on this device.

Don't you've something like this:
Settings -> Language & Input -> Selector Icon (ON/OFF)
Did you try long pressing the notification choosing settings and unticking notifications?
I do not have the Selector Icon setting and there is no option to untick it in settings. I have an AT&T version, if that matters.
The Boomsound icon will appear if ANY app is running that autoplays video/audio, including Blinkfeed; News Republic; Facebook, etc. The best way to prevent it from appearing under such circumstances, is to unselect autoplay video in every app.
The reason it's popping up randomly is because of silent videos, like ads on mute, facebook videos on mute, etc.
As for disabling the notification, you might be able to accomplish that with sense toolbox (xposed) but you'd need root.
Ads on mute such as in Instagram causes the notification. It is just not necessary. Hopefully there is a "fix".

You can actually activate control over the existing toggles for the quicksettings; however, you will not have access to more toggles. Just open the quicksettings, then press and hold on the Settings button until it asks you to activate SystemUI Tuner. For more toggles you'll have to install a custom ROM (e.g., Viper10, LeeDroid, etc.).
Perhaps a custom rom like Leedroid or Viper can help
I've had the phone for a month now and it just started doing this yesterday. I've always had blinkfeed going and it never did it before. I don't have FB or instagram on the phone. I've cleared all recent apps and it still does it, all night long too. It does it every time I turn the phone on from sleep. It's really annoying, anyone figure out why yet?
OK so I noticed that it seems to only do it when " location services" is on

Notification sounds per app?

Am I just blind or dumb or is there no place in the system to set different notification sounds for things like calls, Gmail, text messages. I went into apps and notifications and went into individual apps and see notification options but no options to change what sound to use.

You can use Light Flow to set custom notification sounds and vibrations.

There is a paid version that offers more options.

I don't understand. Almost all, if not all apps allow you to change the notion sound. Open the app in question and drill through it's settings menu and you'll find an option to change the notification sound.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
For calls, go to settings, sound, phone ringtone. You can set a different ringtone for different callers to. You have to open their contact info, click the hamburger menu, and select set ringtone.
Gmail: This can't be done in general settings, which is great because you can set different sounds for different email accounts. Swipe right to open the side panel, scroll down to the bottom and select settings. Then select the email account. Select manage notifications, expand advanced, then sound and change to whatever.
Messages: Settings, notifications, sound.
A lot of apps can do this, some can't. Facebook you USED to be able to, but I can't find it anymore. Anyway, hope this helps. Google has made it a little cumbersome to change the sounds for some reason...
It is definitely kinda cumbersome to change the sounds, but the option is definitely there. Facebook in particular is really annoying to change sounds since you can play a different sound for every notification type.
Go to the notifications settings for your app, app info -> notifications, and you can then select the notification you want to change, then tap Advanced and you can change the sound that's played.

When you go to notifications, you should see a screen like this:

Tap on one of the notification types (left of the vertical black bar) and then hit advanced and you can change the sound.

Wow, all this time I've been blind to it! Fricken Google... Words with Friends was notifying with a sound even though I had it turned off in the app. Looked at pretty much the same notification setup as FB, sure enough, there it was... But why Google? Why make it so hard? Anyway, thanks! Now I can really change some things.
