    Android 9.0 cannot turn off text notifications while on phone call

    Ok, that makes sense. it definitely makes no sense the way the native messaging app cannot be adjusted or controlled. Its as if even if its not the preferred/default app, it can't be totally silenced or disabled. What's a bit strange to me is the third party app I use (Textra) seems to behave...

    Cannot disable text alerts during phone calls since Pie/9.0 update

    Glad that got worked out..;) Anyway..the problem still exists..best Textra can tell me is try another third party app, but my sense is this is something within Android 9 and the native messaging app that is causing the issue.

    Cannot disable text alerts during phone calls since Pie/9.0 update

    I have an LG G6, Verizon network. I use Textra as my messaging app, and while running Android 8.0, using the options in Textra, I disabled text notifications while on a phone call. Worked fine. Since upgrading to Android 9.0, I am unable to stop the "in call" notifications. I'll be on a call...

    It works. Definitely like the app as a whole. Worth the 2.49 i paid. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4

    CNN App No Audio Alert Since Lollipop

    Trying a work around using the Lightflow app. Besides all the useful LED notification tools, it also allows for custom sound notifications. My guess is it will work as a kluged solution, as it appears it just monitors the notification bar for matches.

    CNN App No Audio Alert Since Lollipop

    Haven't looked at the app page in awhile, but yea, that nails it. Sounds like cnn needs to improve their tech support also. Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4

    CNN App No Audio Alert Since Lollipop

    Wiping cache had no effect on resolving the issue.

    CNN App No Audio Alert Since Lollipop

    The app provided the standard notification pre-lollipop. You enable it by telling it you want breaking news alerts. Still an issue after plenty of reboots and power cycles. I hesitate to do a cache wipe without a little more insight as to that being a legit solution, as opposed to a shotgun...

    CNN App No Audio Alert Since Lollipop

    Since the lollipop upgrade, I get notifications of Breaking News from the CNN App, but no alert tone as I previously would get, and get with any similar app. I've updated, uninstalled, reinstalled, checked every setting I can think off, both in the app and within phone settings, and am at a...

    Blocking Mode Question

    My Samsung S4 is on the Verizon network, but posting here as I'm assuming this is a generic feature question. When using blocking mode, is the only thing that the "allowed contacts" list allows is phone calls to be completed? I was thinking, at first, that it allowed text message...

    Same Email Notification Icon

    Makes sense. May not like it, but it makes sense. I've not read stellar reviews about any of the AOL apps, so likely going to keep it as is. Are you seeing any issues with mail syncing..where the phone mailbox and desktop mailboxes don't match? This is a new issue I'm having since the uograde...

    Same Email Notification Icon

    I'm also seeing some ongoing issues with mail syncing between desktop and phone on AOL since the upgrade. Have tried multiple email settings, but nothing seems to work anymore. I hold AOL somewhat responsible for all of this, as my gut says a lot of the email infrastructure, both hardware and...

    Same Email Notification Icon

    Yup, similar issue here. I have two email accounts..one for work, on an Exchange server, and an AOL account. Used to know which account had new mail by whether I had a plain white envelope, or the AOL icon. Made things very convenient. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the AOL account, but...
