I really dont get those idiots at Sony, why cant I have vibration only for calls and not for SMS and e-mails ? There are options like never, always, with sound and without sound but there is no separate option for notification vibration ! I actually want to turn off vibration for Viber because those developers dont care about customers requests at all, there is that stupid notification when you receive new message even when you write a reply and of course, not a word about different notification or vibration ON/OFF in Viber settings, bravo for those dudes.
So, my question is, can I somehow leave vibration for calls and turn it off for notifications ? Galaxy S II has that, are they so much smarter than Sony people ? I would expect that kind of stupidity on iPhone but this should be a lot more customizable platform and I can tell after 6 months with Galaxy S II that Samsung could be the king of Androids, this Sony has a few things that I cannot believe that they have it released without it.
Tnx
You can disable sms vibration from sms settings and for emails

I think you could use Lightflow to do that.
I am using Lightflow to create my own notifications (led color, speed, sound, vibration (and patterns). Works very well!
Please dont make jokes I have one thread in Apps department saying that Lightflow does not work on my phone :-/ Can you tell me step-by-step how to install this app ? I have installed it, gave it acessibility and test works but for notification I get default color and sound. I have no root and my bootloader is not unlocked.
Tnx
(Please note: I have rooted my phone since the beginning and never tried Lightflow without root! But ofcourse you can just try the following steps. I hope it works for you!)
What I did to configure lightflow:
- Install Lightflow, very simple from Google Play;
- Enable it in Accessibility;
- Turn off vibration completely in the phone settings menu > sounds;
- Turn off default tones in the phone settings menu > sounds;
- Open Lightflow, choose the program and the way you want to let it notify you.
Works perfect!
Thanks a lot, now I think that it works, I needed to make factory reset of the phones settings and that what you have said, I have no root. BUT this damn Viber still has his default vibration and sound, is there a way to disable his notification and use LightFlow ?
Tnx

VAlert
Customize vibration on phone ring
This small program allows customizing vibration incoming call alerts.
Windows based phones vibrate either before the ring or constantly during the ring.
Having a short ringtone can possibly solve this problem, but with long mp3 ringtone the phone will constantly vibrate during the ring.
This program will enable Windows Mobile phones to produce short vibrations when the phone rings.
Vibration patterns can be easily changed by the user.
Possibly to match vibration patterns to the ringtone, so the phone will vibrate in a rhythm.
Very low (~4K) memory usage
This software is a freeware.
How to use
1. Install the CAB
2. Enjoy the program with default settings
3. The program is hidden by default. To display program window (if needed), run the program again
7. In Phone->Options make sure ring type is Vibrate and Ring
4. Edit script.txt to change vibration pattern. Every line in the file is a pair of vibration length and note pause
5. From the program window run Menu->Test to test the created pattern
6. Perform Menu->Hide to hide program window
What's new:
- More devices support, including non-HTC
- The installer executes the program upon installation (no soft reset required)
- No vibration on waiting call
- Support for incoming call ring mute (stop vibration)
- Silent start
- Even lower memory footprint - ~4K on standby (was 11K before)
sounds cool
gunna try now
you should make it so you tap the screen to show when u want it to vibrate instead of editing the .txt file
Edit: Great app but confusing to change the pattern
Edit2: lol doesnt seem to work on my vogue when i go to phone->options and press play its just a long vibrate
Ohh man i was about to post a thread on something like this. Thank you so much for making this!
Sounds nice. Will try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Play from phone options is not implemented. Open the program and click Menu->Test or just try an incoming call.

hmm.it may be useful.thx.

Thanks for sharing sir!
to save people the bother of working it out themselves, and to get everyone started...
here's my version of the Nokia classic message vibration
i can't hum it, so you'll need to try it, i guess!
Edit : Oh, by the way... is it possible to do something like this for recieving SMS / MMS / Email, or is that a different process altogether?

Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask too! Would be awesome, would be a very useful app, thanks. And yup, maybe an easier way to edit vibrates would be nice. However, it's cool now, for a version 1.
Future versions
Post your suggestions. I am making a list of changes for the next version.
Suggestions :
- a settings UI on the device (instead of having to pull the txt file off to PC and edit and then put back in on device)
- ability to change between multiple vibrate scripts (via drop-down menu or list?)
- if possible (?) ability to use vibrate scripts for SMS / MMS / Email / Other alerts
- vibe scripts that match pattern with the actual ring / message tone would be VERY cool
excellent little program, thanks a lot for the effort
if the other message alerts can be changed from within this (or even just another separate small app) it's just what i'm looking for!
and please can other people post their script efforts, it'd be good to have several pre-sets to start out with.
there might be a slight bug in this
a few calls have come through recently, the vibrate kicks in itself and the ringtone does not play for about 10 seconds or so.
also the programmed pattern seems distorted.
it might just be my device, as i'm noticing that S2U2's full screen call ID has been struggling to kick in when a call comes in these days since i started using Manilla2D as well.
it might be that the device is struggling to find the ID picture and the ringtone and the vibrate pattern at the same time, all the while trying to run M2D.
i'd check if it works correctly without all these extras running, but M2D and S2U2 are pretty much essentials for me these days.
anyone else care to help?

Do you have this problem with all calls or just some?
What do you mean by distorted pattern?
Does this problem happens when VAlert is disabled?
Thanks works great on my prophet with 6.1

That's not a delay. By default (there is a registry setting to change it) the ring is delayed by 2 seconds. VAlert does not have that delay, so it will always start vibrating 2 seconds before the ring.
Nice tool... works goodm i like it!!!
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
bfranklin1986-
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.
movieaddict-
Thanks to you, as well. NoLED looks like a clever app, and I'll give it a try for certain notifications.
I searched and couldn't find any one else posting this question. I just got the Note last night. I've used Go SMS pro for a long time and want to stick with it. Everything set up fine except the notification doesn't vibrate. I sent them a request but I doubt I'll hear back.
I still have my tbolt and double checked all vibration settings and it still doesn't work. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
Thanks

Same issue here. When I set my phone to vibration mode via widget locker, I don't get vibration notification. Fix will be appreciated!
Are you saying you get vibrations at other times?
I just set the phone to silent mode and then it works....hmmm that doesn't make sense. I'm I missing something?
Actually the only sounds I like are vibrations for texts(no tone), phone calls and my alarm. So I would be good if I could hear the phone and the alarm
Ok this is weird.
In silent mode, if I adjust the haptic vibration it determines how much it vibrates in Go sms, even if I have haptic feedback turned off. Notification vibration doesn't effect the gosms notification vibration afaict
So I uncheck silent mode and check haptic feedback. Nope doesn't work...So does this happen to others with Go SMS pro? I'm also using Go Launcher if that matters.
I wasn't getting much help because this was probably an erroneous problem. I think the issue was restoring my settings that I had saved from my previous phone.
I decided to just uninstall/reinstall and do the settings manually.
Works fine now....
Makes we wonder about other settings and backups I restored...
Similar issue
Go SMS vibrates for notifications, but it's not as intense as the stock messaginf app. I've checked all my settings...everything checks out, but it's hardly noticeable in my pocket. I've tried reinstalling it, but it has the same results.

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.
BTW, I have sky vega 760S, it is rooted but I am unable to install CWM or any custom recovery. If I could flash a custom ROM, like I had CM10 in my previous 760, this issue had been gone.
Hello Everyone
Ok so ill state what i have first
Im running toasts CM9 rom previously i was on Miks Sense 3.5
anyway when i was on that rom vibrate would work fine for text messages, and that was the first time as it didnt work on any other roms either.
And now im on toasts CM9 and the vibrate doesnt turn on for texts at all....it works for calls and when im changing volume but if its a message nothing...basically all i get is the screen stays off and all of a sudden the notification light is blinking thats it...i tried SMS popup and it didnt do anything either.
So can anyone give me some advice.
Also if anyone can recommend an app to make texts appear on my tablet and allow me to send them from the tablet as well (i have juiced defender on my phone so its an issue with certain sms apps)
thank you
probably a stupid question but have you tried fixing permissions through recovery or reflashing the ROM? might be that your vibrator could be going out.. just my 2 cents
yeah i tried that just now thanks for the advice but it didnt work out
the strange thing is that vibrate works for everything else but texts
In your messaging app, click 'menu, settings' then there should be an option for notifications, and a checkbox for 'vibrate when notifications received' or something similar since I'm not on CM9.

Yeah I have that set to always vibrate and still nothing
Since it's working for calls but not texts... clear the application data..?
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.

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
