Multi Schedule DND Mode - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Does Android on the Samsung Note 9 has the ability to set more than one schedule for "Do Not Disturb". I want the "Do Not Disturb" hours schedule to be different for weekdays versus weekend.

Now possible with Android Q beta

Yes, it is now possible through Android Q beta. Scheduling the same default configuration of DND for different times and days is possible.
However, it is still NOT possible to configure customized DND behaviour for the schedules, like example, I want total silence from midnight to 5 am but calls from starred contacts only during 6 pm to midnight.
Separate settings for DND customized for each schedule is still absent in Note 9, though this feature was earlier there in stock Oreo, and has been made available in stock Android Q.

Apps in the background disappearing in tasker

I don't know if its an android pie issue or samsung S10+ issue but coming from a Note 9 on android oreo I notice my apps running in the background disappears in tasker. Even if i locked them in place from closing. I had like 8 apps open then few hours later only 4 was available in the tasker. I'm currently set on "high performance mode" and both "auto optimization" and "adaptive battery" is toggle off.

VZ Note9 - APP Bypass Do Not Disturb Not Working

Greetings,
Searched for an answer and it seems like this is a bug.
I am attempting to use DND, but I want a specific APP to bypass DND. This is not working for me, not gmail, not third party apps.
I'm going to Settings - Notifications - App - Miscellaneous - Ignore Do Not Disturb
Turning this on does nothing. If enabled, when in DND, I receive no notifications.

android auto mutes notifications

Hello,
Everytime I open android auto it mutes my ringtones and notifications. This did not happen on my previous phone (s7 edge); does anybody know how to disable this? It does not even show me my onscreen notifications when driving
I had the same problem, just using Android Auto on the phone, not a car screen. I'm afraid it's due to how Xiaomi have made Do Not Disturb, in that it isn't the same as standard Android. There used to be a toggle in the settings of Android Auto, but they removed that and you can't add exceptions in DND on Xiaomi. So, the only work around I have found is to download an app called Macrodroid. (Free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid
And create a macro that detects when Android Auto is launched then disable DND, with a 5 second delay to allow Android Auto to start and switch DND mode.
If you want I can share screens of the macro.
If anyone has a better way let me know!

Dark Theme keeps switching off

I keep having Dark Theme switching off when I connect to Android Auto in My 2020 Kia Soul. It happens about 50% of the time. I notice when it brings up Google Maps and it is in Light Theme. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Or have suggestions on how to correct this?
Stock, unlocked from Google Store & running on T-Mobile
Dark theme is heavily tied to the messages app, and when Android auto accesses messages it overrides the system theme with the current Android auto theme. There's no know did as I'm aware of, besides using a substrantum theme.

Try override force dark on developer options
This is nothing new. Every time I connect to android auto, dark theme is turned off.... It did this on all my pixels
Enable developer options in android auto, and then select it to be always dark.
There is also a setting to make it respect the phone, instead of the car, should you wish to do it that way,

What he's saying is the theme on the phone changes from dark to light when Android auto is connected. He's not talking about the display on the infotainment system. I just started using an Android 10 rom on my 5t, and today I experienced the same thing he's talking about. Not really a big deal as I don't use my phone while I'm driving. The display on the vehicle will coincide with the panel dimmer switch on the vehicle. Keep it maxed out it will never go into night mode, back it down 1 click and the Android auto display will automatically toggle between white and dark background as necessary

I know exactly what he is talking about, and if they force Android Auto to dark mode, the phone will stay in dark mode when connected to the vehicle.
As it is now, Android Auto is what controls the light/dark mode on the phone. If you override it on Android Auto developer settings, the phone will respect it how he wants.
You can also alternatively set it so that as opposed to the vehicle controlling it, the phone will determine it instead.

Yes, I could always tell when Android Auto would flip the Dark Theme off because Google Maps on the car display would flip to light mode. Once turning on developer mode in Android Auto and forcing the dark option, I have not had one instance of rebellion.
Thank you all for the troubleshooting and conversating!!

EMUI vs MIUI info needed

I might be moving from a Xiaomi phone to a Huawei one soon. The following I found most annoying things in MIUI(latest version) so I want to know how many of these things I am going to experience in EMUI too.
1. Lockscreen notifications disappear after unlocking the phone even if the notifications have not been cleared. Notifications that you receive while screen on will never make it to the lockscreen.
2. Google Smart Lock does not work and Xiaomi does not provide any alternative of their own.
3. The camera app does not have an option to review picture immediately after taking it.
4. Auto brightness is not adjustable and is simply a one size fits all option.
5. The DND mode cannot ONLY silent notifications. Notification and ringtone volume cannot be unlinked either so there is no easy way to silence all notifications.
Furthermore as I understand both of these skins have very aggressive battery management. MIUI does allow me to whitelist apps to exclude from that. Does Huawei offer this option too?
Lastly I read somewhere that you can't reply on a lock screen notification in EMUI? Is that still the case with the latest version?
