Hey all-
I have a Galaxy S7 [930FD, dual sim]. Currently I have a Work Profile set to run from 9-5 PM Monday thru Friday so I have a different ringtone and notification tone for text messages while I'm at my desk. It used to work fine, but after I used DND for the first time last weekend, it no longer works -- it's still using my regular default ringer and notification sounds. I'm wondering if this is an Android issue, because I used to have Mood Messenger as my default app for text messages, and after I used DND, it would only use the notification tone set for my SIM 1 card. (My SIM 2 is the card I use for phone calls and text messages.) Even after I switched it to the stock messaging app and basically forced the notification tone back to what I had on SIM 2, my work profile does not change the tones. :-/

Any suggestions? Thanks!

-KC

I just got the same error. However, then something popped up about Notification access, and when I granted that to Tasker, DND All worked. If you search for Notification Access in Settings, and set it for Tasker, I think DND All will then work.
I was having a similar problem. However then something popped up about granting Tasker Notification access, and when I granted that to Tasker, DND worked again (I could see erorrs when I ran the task manually). If you search for Notification Acess in Settings, and set it for Tasker, I think DND will then work again.

Thanks Rich. My DND seems to work OK, it's just that Tasker apparently can't change the notification sound for the second SIM card slot. (I have my primary sim in slot 2 - just happened to go that way :) - and that one isn't affected when I change the notification sound to something different in Tasker.

Wondering if there needs to be something added in to change the SIM 2 notification settings...
