Android notifications in flight mode
Discussion
I always put my phone on flight mode at night.
In theory, this means it shouldn't disturb me, but in reality, I'm still getting notifications coming through from time to time?!?
As an example, about 15 minutes after going in to flight mode tonight, Netflix decided to invite me to watch something new.
Needless to say, I have now turned off notifications for Netflix, and will do so for any app which disturbs me in this way, but does anyone know how it's happening, and how I stop it?

This wont help the OP, however.......
If you have a One Plus phone they have a physical "Alert Slider" button with three settings. I don't know if other phones have this, but its one reason why I have used One plus for the last few phones.
RING - basically everything gets through.
DO NOT DISTURB PREFERENCES - customisable ( to allow calls form starred contacts only) to mute calls/alerts/vibration (I use this setting at work).
SILENT - everything off except alarms (to wake you up)

You can configure the stock android Do Not Disturb settings to do as you please. It's remarkably simple.
Do Not Disturb hit stock android 5 years ago, and has been built-on and continuously improved over the years, so unless you're phone is very old, or from an OEM who didn't feature it in their flavour of android you should be able to use it.

Some apps will tailor their time to display notifications, don't ever assume a notification is displayed the very second it is sent to your phone.
It may do so to pick a time it doesn't clash so much with other notifications, a time which corresponds with periods in the past when you were using their service (in this instance, for example, watching NF at night or in bed by anybody sharing your account).
Airplane mode does turn off all radios by the way.

Shame that the version in Pie is absolute sDo Not Disturb hit stock android 5 years ago, and has been built-on and continuously improved over the years, so unless you're phone is very old, or from an OEM who didn't feature it in their flavour of android you should be able to use it.

Why don't you just turn the phone off at night ?
Then it will not disturb you. The only problem is if you want to set the alarm to wake you up !
You answered your own question! Then it will not disturb you. The only problem is if you want to set the alarm to wake you up !
That plus seeing what time it is if I wake up in the night...

Extra expense, extra noise, extra thing to take when travelling on business. Granted, all pretty minimal, but easier to fix the notifications thing...
I do use my phone just like you, i.e. an alarm and for looking at the time in the morning (even when at home). I just turn it to silent and put it face down on the bed-side table. Then no noise and even when emails arrive in the middle of the night I can't see the notifications anyway.Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
