Help Sleep mode in Lollipop?

[nateball2481]

I have an LG G3, and android interface recently updated to Lollipop. There is no sleep mode, but a priority system, which doesn't block sounds from going off, and on top of that, you have to manually set EACH AND EVERY individual app's setting on whether you want it to function during which hours or not. This is BS. The previous version - Kit Kat, was easy. You just set sleep mode, and no sound. Just a vibrate when you'd get a text or notification from an app. Now, the priority system literally does nothing. I just have to manually turn my phone to vibrate at night. Is there a way around this, or did the good people at android completely crap the bed with this update?

I believe that "standard" android Lollipop should have a priority mode and a "do not disturb" mode, the latter of which also silences alarms.

I don't know about LG's version of Lollipop - different manufacturers make changes to the base OS, some adding or retaining features, and some removing things. Ironically my HTC (5.0.2) has a Do Not Disturb mode with the option of letting alarms play through it, and which can be selected manually or on a schedule.

Of course this being Android you don't have to rely on the built-in stuff: you can use an automation app (Tasker, Llama, or even simple ones like Timeriffic) to vibrate on a schedule if that is what you want.

Thank you for your response. I guess I'm hung up on having to download an external app to make my phone do what it already did when I bought it. My iPhone had a sleep mode, and the Kit Kat version of Android on this LG G3 had a sleep mode. Having to use and app to tell it to enter sleep mode just seems silly. The priority mode literally does absolutely nothing. I have it enabled, and I have it set to block anything from midnight to 8am. It blocks nothing, not even the sound from keystrokes when I type things. I've gone mad trying to configure priority mode, but it's essentially useless.

I set my priority at night and have 0 notifications that make sound UNLESS I allow them to. I have my immediate family members as priority which allows me to get a notification that makes a sound. All other notifications I get still come through just make no sound. You just need to set it up how you'd like it. There's also I feature called down time.... You can set priorities for certain hrs on certain days. Just takes some getting used to. Its not the KitKat was better it was just laid out a little differently. I'm actually loving lollipop over KitKat
