Phone Does Not Exit Do Not Disturb Mode - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

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.

Droid 4 silences itself ever since ota to .217

This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.
Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?
Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.
I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.
Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?
Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.
That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.

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.

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

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.

Please help me with random/annoying notification sound

A few months ago I started getting a random alarm/notification sound (like 2 seconds long, really loud) with no notification shown at all (screen off). Everyday at the same time. Exactly 10:02 in the morning. It's specially annoying since the phone makes the sound even with Not Disturb on.
I thought maybe the Android 10 update would solve this issue. Nope.
Things I've noticed/tried:
1) The sound isn't part of the clock alarm list of alarm tones.
2) I've already done a full factory reset, manually re-installed all my apps. Still there.
3) If my device is in Airplane Mode, the sound isn't there: as soon as I turn off airplane mode and I get internet connection again, the device makes the sound.
4) I've tried looking at recent notifications (system notifications included) through settings. Nothing.
I attach screenshots of all my downloaded apps:

Maybe a ****y Tasker or AutoNotification setting/profile ? Look at those two apps,, it can be a bad in-app setting or an error in a Tasker profile/task. If you don't find anything suspicious over there, I would suggest you to uninstall Tasker and its related plugins like AutoNotification and see if the sound still play at 10:02...
But this airplane mode condition to let the sound play is strange coz it mean it's internet/cellular connection related ?

Nothing strange in both of those apps. Autonotification is actually disabled and I just use Tasker for some Bluetooth/Wi-Fi near interactions.
It is indeed very strange. Thanks.
Was able to record sound. Anyone recognizes it?

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.

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.

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)

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.
