Hi all,
Firstly great support on here!!
I'm having an issue with my work exchange email. I get a vibrate every time i get an email.
I have it set to silent tone so there is no sound, but it still vibrates!!
I have my phone on the desk beside me at work and it's going nuts (i get a lot of emails).
The Gmail app has the option to disable vibrate and only have the notification text, which is exactly what i want for the exchange account.
Hoping someone here has a fix!
Email --> Menu --> Settings --> Select account --> Scroll down and uncheck vibrate?
Hi again watsa, fix this and I'll owe you lunch!
I don't have a vibrate option there? under the section 'Notification Settings' in the location you said i have:
Email Notifications (checked) Text says "Notify in status bar when email arrives)
and
Select Ringtone (i have this set to silent)
I don't see anything that mentions vibrate at all.

I dont have exchange email configured but gmail. I can see vibrate option in there with gmail. Try and setup gmail account in email app and see if you have that option? Else could it be new in recent firmware?
You mean you have your gmail account in the standrad email client, or in the actual Gmail app?
The gmail app has the option to disable vibrate.
I'll add gmail to the standard email client and see.
Maybe the new firmware might help.
I have gmail configured in email app
Really? I just added my gmail account to the email app.
Went to where you said and only had those other options.
I'll check after upgrade and see.
Hope it's there.
Thanks again watsa.
yes the option is definitely there on LFB. Don't remember if it was there before. Sorry you will have to update and see
Yep, its there on this firmware.
Thanks!
You can find it in settings - sounds - uncheck sound and vibrate. The only solution.

Seconded. The stock Email app uses the notification settings from the default "root" settings. It doesn't have the ability to set vibrate and sound independently. Bit of a shame, really.

It does on the latest update (LFB). You can set it seperate for each account. It is a new feature but no one responded to it when I said it.
Yep, latest firmware has individual settings.
Life saver, now my phone isn't annoying me all day.
K-9 mail app doesn't show me the new email notification on its icon on main screen like SMS or stock email app does. Is any way to fix it?
My sounds are set up but,
1 There is no sound when I receive incoming texts and/or email.
2 When I do receive incoming gmail they do not show in the notification drop down.
3 The only way to see the emails is to open the app and then refresh the page.... and then they load.
Any help would be great.
You have to go into the app you want to change the notification for..
Ex. Open up your Google mail. Open up the gmail setting by pressing the 3 dots on the bottom right..press settings..then press the Google account you want to edit. There you will see the notification setting along with the Show notifications when email arrives.
For text messaging the same rule applies. Open up Messaging go to Menu..then Settings.

Everything was set as is necessary.
Still no sound on delivery and no incoming mail seen until the refresh button is hit.
I'm missing one or two small steps somewhere.

My Gmail sync was turned off.
Thank you for your help.
After a Facebook update a while back, I wound up with Facebook notifications (friend requests, messages, notifications) in my android drop-down shade. I deactivated it by going into Facebook settings. Now I want it back and can't find the option in Facebook settings to reactivate the option. Any ideas?

Open up facebook, click menu, go to settings, and under notifications you have check boxes for all those.
Thanks, but this was a row of permanent icons that stayed in the notification shade. I can't find an option for it now.

A few times a day, a Gmail notification appears in the notification area (top of screen) and also as a button on on the icon for the Gmail app. When I expand the notification, all it is for is that Gmail is Syncing. The notification automatically disappears when finished syncing. Is there a way to disable that particular syncing notification? It makes me think that I have a new email, and only way to tell is by viewing the notification, or waiting to see if it disappears.
I think this started happening ever since I added a second account.
I am on updated, stock, un-rooted Android.
Thank you,
