Managing notifications? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a stock Vibrant running 2.1. I like to have audible notifications for text messages, etc., but not for new emails. I get a lot of email at all hours and I prefer not to hear my notification tone multiple times a night in the wee hours whenever a new junk message comes in. So, is there a fix for this on a stock phone? I've looked through the Settings: if there's something there to manage the various types of notifications separately, I've missed it. Any suggestions other than turning notification sound off completely?

I thought this was a pretty basic question when I posted it. Out of all the smart folks who hang out here, nobody knows the answer?

go through the settings on your email app and turn off notifications or select your ringtone as "silent" for the app

or u can use "no led " app and use its features to silent wht u want..

Thanks a lot (and my light sleeper of a wife thanks you). The fix seems obvious when you mention it, but I'm not sure it would ever have dawned on me. That took care of my issue.

Thanks to you, as well. NoLED looks like a clever app, and I'll give it a try for certain notifications.

[Q] How to disable "Battery is fully charged" notification?

It usually pops up in the middle of the night and can be pretty annoying. Any way to disable it?
Currently there is no full fix. This is the closest I have gotten: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748400&highlight=battery+popup
Why remove it? I find it very useful, nvm read wrong
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah this is very annoying... has there been further development of a fix(REMOVE!) for this?!?!
If you have JI6 update already applied you will notice that they changed that annoying pop up to a simple notification which shows up in the status bar when battery is fully charged.
That is definitely an improvement for me.
Definitely NOT an improvement for me. I need to be able to be alerted at night when an SMS message comes in when I am on call, and really don't want to be woken up because my battery is charged. There really should have been a way to disable the it alone, not move it to something if you disable, you no longer will hear SMS, alarms, event,... notifications.
This worked for me. Read through all of the threads so you are confident what to do. Main thing is to flash the correct one and wipe the cache and dalvik-cache first.

I did find a good way to get around this problem, at least for me. Set the global Notification ringtone to Silent, then change the Ringtone on Messaging to something you want for texts and same for email. Then the battery charge won't make a sound, and I will still be notified on text messages and/or emails.
The only 'solution' I've found is to do as others have said, disable generic notification sounds, and in applications-development set it so screen does not stay on while charging. The popup still happens, but there's no sound and the screen times out after my setting of 2 minutes. This is lame because when I use it in the car for music, plugged in, I want the screen to stay on all the time. Epic 4g

[Q] Ringer/Notification sounds connected in ICS ROM question

Hey folks, question. Now it's driving me nuts how the notification and ringer volumes are connected now in ICS where as before we had the option to unlink them. I get emails all through the night but I can't turn my notifications down at night because it turns down the ringer, can't have that.
Anyone know of a way to break the link or am I just going to have to deal with it?
This seems to be a common issue with the ICS leaks. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the ROM developers have split them yet.
Very interesting.... I'll dig into it and see if we can't come up with a solution...

I've tried 4 different apps to solve this prob and none work right. I use sound manager to turn off notifications at night but leave ringer on, but i can't get it working with those apps.
Hopefully its an easy fix to unpair them.

Sounds good!!! Please keep us posted if you do find something, it's really driving me nuts. I don't know who's bright idea it was to remove the option to split them, dumbest thing I've seen in a while.
I just turn off the 3g/wifi before I go to bed. No emails come in, but texts and calls will still come in. Been doing that ever since I moved to Android.

I've been using Audio Manager app to control my volumes, you can set schedules when volume levels are to be changed, I never had to do anything manually. I have enough stuff going on everyday don't need another thing to remember to do before passing out, lol. Good idea though, if it gets too bad I may have to give that a go.
Bought ICS Enhanced Ringer control from the market - $2.99.
It duz separate the ringer/notification link however it must be manually enabled/disabled.
I'm hoping the dev adds a scheduler, or a widget to make it easier to enable.
Either way, it works and solves the problem.
Hi there,
I just want to share that for ICS there is a tool on the market which can disable notifications at night, while still the ringer is "enabled", not muted.
Problem with ICS is that notification volume is directly linked to ringer volume. When you manually disable notifications, you will never hear your phone ring....which can be bad.
So:
In case I don't want to hear notifications at night, but incoming calls will ring as normal I use the following tool (free from market) :
"ICS notification silencer free"
With the free edition you can only define 'one' profile, with a start and end time when to disable notifications (example:sleeping time).
With the paid version you can define more profiles, depending on day etc.
I liked the free edition already as it has enough features just to disable notification when I am asleep.
Hope you enjoy this tool, and sleep well on ICS

Another solution
Ive been dealing with this since ICS first came out, and its been driving me nuts.
I need no text notifications at night, but the phone needs to ring if someone calls.
I tried ICS ringtone control and ICS Silencer. ICS ringtone didnt have a scheduler so I had to set it manually every night.
For the last week Ive tried Profile Scheduler and its worked perfectly. I assume other profile apps would work too, so
check them out.
Heres what I did. Create/download a silent ringtone mp3 - I named mine "Silence - 30sec". I then went under the
"Night" profile and made the notification sound that ringtone, and left all the volumes the way they are. I then created
a rule activating that profile from 10p-7a. I then changed 'conditions not met' to the normal profile, to change it back to
normal when its done. Under the normal profile, I made my ringtone my original one.
Good luck, and until ICS unlinks the sliders, this has worked best for me.

I have flashed 5 different ROMs, and the only one (HTC Evo4G LTE) that separates them is CM10.
I ran it for a bit, but switched back to ViperRom, and use Phone Schedule app to simply change the ringtone
for my notification sounds, at whatever time I need.
I have a silent ringtone, and use it for notification sounds between 9p and 7a, and then it automatically
switches back to a audible music ringtone.
Hope this helps.

I think the linking of the two was a step backwards for 4.0. Hopefully this will be undone in future versions

I think they did it so when you turned the ringer volume up or down, the notification volume would go up our down accordingly, which is desirable behavior. But it is annoying if you need them to be controlled separately.

(Q) Vibration Notifications for Gmail, Facebook, Hangouts etc. will not turn off

My Verizon S4 is set to vibration mode (sound turned down/off)
In the options for gmail, facebook, and hangouts I have notifications turned on, but the vibration is off (unticked), BUT I still get vibrations when an incoming email, message, or notification comes along.
Anyone know how to override this issue? Are there external apps that can fix it? I only want my phone to vibrate when I get phone calls or text messages.
I have searched and found nothing.
Does no one else have this problem? It's driving me nuts!
I have the issue but mine only affects my enhanced Email app running Yahoo. Going to try uninstalling that and just use default email app, see if that helps.
Anybody find a solution to this yet????

because you have it in vibration mode. all notifications are vibrate when in vibration mode, even when you have vibration turned off in the apps.

It never used to do this on the Galaxy S4, whoever finds a fix for this I will love forever!
This is not a bug but an annoying change Google made as of Android 4.2. Basically anything with a notification is supposed to vibrate when the phone is in vibrate mode regardless of the app setting although the app needs to support it. There is no fix but CM10.1 has the ability to revert this behavior.

Sorry for digging up this Thread, but this is not acceptable for me.
My S3 is always on Silent/Vibrate - Mode. In this case, Hangouts isn't usable for me. I have to disable all hangouts notificitaions, or my phone would vibrate almost all of the time.
So, is there any workaround available, so far?
I've allready tried to revoke permissions for vibration from hangouts and G+ via "App Settings" (Xposed module), but that didn't work. :/
Any solution would be great. Otherwise I have to go back to 4.1.2.
Best regards,
Marcus

You can try to manually turn off the vibration in the sound settings. settings<my device<sounds<vibration intensity
Change the slider of anyone of them that needs to be changed (from what I can tell you just want the notification vibration to be turned off so slide that one all the way to the left).
Let me know how this go.
Thx for your reply. But this will turn off Vibration for all notifications, won't it? I just want to turn it off for Hangouts because I receive lots of messages there and it's pretty annoying to have a phone on your pocket, that is vibrating all the time. I also have an app, that comes along with the OmegaROM, called "Notifications Mangaer" But changes there doesn't take effect. :/

That is the only way I know, other than the notifications manager. I know what you means too, I also hate the annoying vibration all the time and it waste battery life. I got tired of looking for a way around it and just turned off the notification vibration.
Sad to hear... But I won't surrender. This is not acceptable for me. There must be a way to disable vibration on Hangouts even if enabled in system settings. I'll hang on it and let you know as soon as I found a solution . Thx, so far.
Best regards,

I have the same problem so I just hav the notifications that I want to vibrate set to vibrate all the time and hangouts not to, then I put my volume at 1.

Thats not bad as an temporarily soliution. It hits me on an idea:
Lets perfection this and create a 1s long, silent track and set it as ringtone. That should work as well.
But even this cant be the final solution. There must be a way to prevent hangouts from vibrating, although global settings force vibration. It worked in the past as well, so why not on above 4.1.2 versions?
Same problem with S5 Mini
I got the same problem on m S5 Mini - it's driving me crazy! Why should I want apps to vibrate in vibration mode, when i don't want the to vibrate in general - when I turn off vibration in the app settings?!
I wake up every night because of notifications from facebook or emails..
I just want whatsapp and phone calls to vibrate!
I came from HTC devices (Desire, Sensation, Sensation XE) and never had this problem before.
It's also annoying that I can't change the notifications volume together with the ringtone volume, but have to seperately adjust the slider
Any solutions without root would be great

Random Notification Sound

Since updating to Oreo, every so often (maybe once and hour) a notification sound goes off for apparently no reason. I have notification reminders off so it's not that. I've turned off most notifications as well, except for important ones like sms or email. It's annoying and if sounds are off and vibrate turned on it will vibrate instead but still nothing on the status bar. Does anyone know what's going on and/or how I can solve this annoyance?
Yes Im experiencing this as well. It seems like it may be related to gmail but I'm not sure. The new notification settings are confusing and don't seem to work at least for that app.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set notvto vibrate. Hope this helps.

I think I may have a clue: I have a Gear Fit. My Note 8 vibrates when it sends an alert to my Gear Fit.
In my case, because I can hardly notice the notification vibration on my Gear Fit, but hear it clearly when my Note 8 is resting on a hard surface, it took me a while to make the connection.
Now to find a way to disable this behavior....

theres an app called "notification history" that will track it for you. Might be the charger full indication.

Question Vibrate options?

Ok my phone is pretty much always on vibrate.
but when my phone is just sitting on my desk or in my pocket, i git only a blip of vibrate to notify me, and thats it.
i miss a lot of messages due to the fact that this phones vibrate function is terrible, i need to know how to increase intensisity or increase the length of notification vibrate.
I tried a few Notifier apps but none have help.
let me know what you recommend in app or workaround
let me know please

Greetings, rinnycoop121.
Have you used BuzzKill before? It's the only app that can efficiently perform your job (It can assist with notification vibration duration, and in theory, that may help with the intensity of the notification vibration).
Here is a rundown of how it works:
You create a rule in the BuzzKill app, and it provides you with an outline in the form of "When I get a notification from any app that contains anything, then do nothing"
any app
You can select as many apps as you want impacted
anything
You can filter by words/phrases, images/phone numbers/languages, and you can create your own complex filters
nothing
There's a variety of actions (Cooldown, Mute, Remind me, Alarm, Speak, Unsilence, Snooze, Batch, Secret, Custom alert, Sticky, Keep if, Dismiss, Undo dismiss, Reply, Press button, Open notification, Copy verification code, Set ringer, Remove from history, Trigger Tasker), but the one I think best suited for you is "Custom alert"
"Custom alert" gives you an outline in the form of "When I get a notification from any app that contains anything, then custom alert with default vibration and default sound
any app
You can select as many apps as you want impacted
default vibration
You can build a vibration pattern (Add buzzes, gaps)
You can make your vibration pattern as long or as short as you want
default sound
You can select the sound that you want emitted from your device
I'm convinced that BuzzKill will assist you in circumventing the OnePlus Nord N200's notification/vibration limits (Or any other Android device for that matter). Regardless, let me know what you think rinnycoop121.
