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..

brilliant app just for vibrant

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.
Hi all,
If there's a thread about this already I apologize - I searched for it multiple times but couldnt find anything
Anyways,
I just got my S2 today and i find that the notification (text messages, Whatsapp) vibration duration is a little too long.
I downloaded Handcent and it actaully has the option of setting your vibration duration to a custom value.
Just curious if this is possible "globally" for all notifications and not just for Handcent
I havent rooted yet but this would be reason to if it's just simple file mod somewhere
Anyone with clues/suggestions is appreciated!
THanks!
I have the same question. The Notification vibration is too long.
Any news?
Me too. Have to take vibration off on what's app because it irritates everyone around me including me. Bzzzzzzzzz! Its too damn long!
The normal screen timeout setting doesn't affect the dialer screen. Is there a way to keep the screen from going out without having to touch it every few seconds? Really makes it a pain the ass to do speakerphone calls on automated systems where you have to listen to a voice for a minute or two before you can respond. I had this problem with my GS2 as well. This is the ONLY thing I loved better about my old iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated...
*BUMP* Any ideas??
Im sure Smart Stay works on the dialer screen? Mine does anyway..
Try that if you have not already

I have Smart Stay disabled for battery reasons, I guess I can activate it while I'm on one of those calls. Would be better if there was a permanent solution though.
Thanks.
Yh i know it can be a pain. Batterylife could be better with juicedefender..Try It

Try GOsms on the play store, you can set vibrate patterns for certain contacts, intensity and length of time

that's what many people said, thank you. however i want to make default pattern 2 short or medium vibrations. indeed it should affect all apps such as whatsapp, sms etc...
One more important question!
All samsung based roms have this kind of vibration patterns(i mean 1 long vibration for every app)? or is it just specific for this rom like a bug?

I don't know if there are mods specifically for this in S2.. all i know is that it has that feature in GOsms
but if you are an advanced user (or have experience in codes and etc)
you may edit some codes if you like
Cheers!
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????

I'm thinking that the sound/vibrate settings in Settings may be overriding this, but don't know why?

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.

I was thinking that may be what is happening.....
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,
Marcus
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
