I'm running hydrogenics aokp rom and whenever I get a SMS it doesn't seem to vibrate. I have to keep turning the screen on to see if I got a text..any help? Maybe I'm just not seeing the right setting. I've enabled vibrate and ring setting in my sounds menu.
In ICS roms each app has its own settings within the app.
Open Messaging app >> Menu >> Settings >> Under notifications you'll find Vibrate, select always.

I have litening Rom 5 installed & running Go Launcher. I notiiced that when I was receiving text messages or when it was on silent I did not get the vibration alert. I then changed the settings so that the its set to vibration always and the icon appears on the top. However when I go into the pull down screen the sound icon is gone?
All I want is to be able to put the phone in silent and it will vibrate when I receive a text message or a phone call. The same goes when its not in silent. Also how can I tell if phone is in silent mode as its not given me the sound icon on the pull down menu?
Is it something simple I am missing more than likely
Confused
If the option in Dropdown menu is missing then just hold Power button, you will see the first option as Silent mode/Sound is Off/On.
And I didn't get you clearly on the SMS vibration part, just make sure that 'Vibrate always' is enabled under Settings- Sound- Vibration.
Regards.
So on my old 2.3 ROM I could choose to have my phone always vibrate. Now on ICS I can't find that setting. It isn't there. Vibrate can only come on when in silent mode.
Is there any quick fix to enable this again? Or maybe an app that someone knows of?
I want this function , too
In cm9 I can just go to sound (or what ever it is in english version) and select: vibration + ringtone

Download the app "Sound manager" from the market, U can choose there for 'Vibrate settings' in the menu, and resolve that problem bij choosing VIbrate whenever possible

It's in the quick panel which you can pull down from above.Tap the sound icon and it will cycle through sound - vibration - silent - sound vibration.
Or you can download the "sound manager" . it's pretty good.
P.S: It seems every app in ICS has their own notification settings . And in default most of them are set to not to vibrate when a notification pops up.So check out apps' settings first.
So I have been having this problem since I got my phone. I can set my phone to vibrate in the setting yet it refuses to vibrate when silent or when receiving a text message. The examples work in the settings but fails to actually happen in a real life situations. I tried installing Sms Pro to fix this yet it still doesn't work.
With a text message or something else like Google Talk? Mine will vibrate with a new text message using the stock app.
Go to the main conversation page in messages -> menu -> settings -> notification settings -> change the vibrate settings to your liking. For some reason the vibrate settings for messages is separate from the global settings for notifications in the main settings of the phone.

Thank you for the help but i have set it in the notification setting in sms pro and it has done nothing. Also there is no option for vibrate in the stick messaging app's settings. I have juice defender installed i thought maybe that could be contributing to it though when disable it still wont vibrate. I appreciate the help but i'm kinda at my wits end with this.
Just checked and you are right, there is no vibrate setting in the stock messaging app. However, if you select the option "display notifications in status bar" it uses the vibrate setting from the main phone settings - all status bar notifications do.
I just sent myself a text message and it definitely vibrates.
lol I am trying to figure out how to disable message virbation...
Setting>sound>vibration> Always/Never/Only in silent mode/ only when NOT in silent mode ... mines set on always and it always vibrates lol

Exactly. When "display notifications in status bar" is set in the messaging app, the main phone settings will enable - or disable - vibration. For better or for worse this means you can't turn it on or off for texts w/o also turning it on or off for all other status bar notifications...
Handcent is working for me, with customizable vibration.

I've set up my company email using the phone's default email client.
Last night few emails arrived around 3 am and my S3 almost gave me a heart attack with the sound notification.
How do I disable email sound notification?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I think the only way is to disable notification sound altogether.
menu > settings > sound > volume > default notifications > silent
Or
Use a 3rd party email client.
This puzzled me for ages as I couldn't find where to change the email app ringtone, but this is how I did it:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent

I actually had a look there earlier but missed the notification settings...
Huraaah, I no longer have to listed to that annoying default email sound!!
You are most welcome, I know how annoying it is and only found this by accident, it's hardly the most obvious way to change a notification.
There are several apps that you can use that support sound profiles.
I use phoneweaver. It does a lot more but I use it primarily for sound. I have several sound profiles setup:
one for the car - all volume all the way up
one for everyday use - volume about 50%
nighttime - volume totally off during certain hours (good for your case, phone ringer still active in case an emergency phone call comes in.)
silent - puts phone on vibrate completely
Does this work for you? I have Bedside because I need to be able to get calls at night but email notifications keep waking me up. I used to be able to silence notifications on my Droid Incredible.
Does anyone know if Tasker (I haven't used before) or Llama (same) would be able to control the set up listed above:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent
To do this at night and then turn it back on in the morning? I like getting email notifications during the day, but I can't find a program that keeps the ringer on and the notifications off at night.

Can you suggest a 3rd party email client that allows notifications to be silent?

How do you turn email notification sounds ON?
Hi. In searching for a way to turn on email notification sounds, I wound up here at this forum talking about turning email audio notifications OFF. I have a Galaxy Note 2, unlocked bootloader, running the standard unlocked ROM from Adam's unlock method. By default, my phone does not vibrate or sound off an audio alert when emails come in. They just show up in my notifications bar, and the notification LED flashes blue. So the only way for me to know a new email has arrived is to happen to look at the flashing blue LED.
Within the email app general preference settings I have "Vibrate" checked, and a ring tone selected under "Select ringtone".
Within the sound settings of the device, I have a ring tone selected for each of, "Device ringtone" and "Default notifications", and I also checked off "Sound and vibration"
Within the volume settings of the device, nothing is turned to silent ("Music, video, games, and other media", "Ringtone", "Notifications", and "System")
Within the Application manager settings, Email, there are no options to do anything about sound or notifications. All it shows is, "Force stop," "Disable," "Clear data," "Clear cache".
Thanks.
On my S8 I was able to allow certain apps to be excepted from DnD. I cannot find the place to make that change on the 9. I changed ged DnD to custom, but cannot find another place to select the apps I want to be exceptions. Not under the app, not under special permissions (only a short lost of system tools). This one has me stumped.

Which apps are you speaking of? I can see the DnD exception in various apps on mine. You have to dig deep in menus to find them. For example...
Samsung Messages > Settings > Notifications > General Notifications > DnD custom exception.
Gmail > Settings > Manage Notifications > Email >DnD custom exception
Skype > Settings > Do Not Disturb > Receive push notifications while DnD is on.
Then again other like Whatsapp are in the S9 Settings > Apps area
Apps >Whatsapp > Message notifications > DnD custom exception
Having said this it is a it and miss if the DnD exception actually works it seems. I cannot get it to drive side light notifications for Gmail.

Active 911 and I am Responding are the two I want to make exceptions for. Unfortunately, they worked before. Maybe it was going to 8.0 that did it as my S8 didn't get updated until after I switched to the S9.

Update-the exception switch is there for I am Responding. Still searching for Active 911.

I had the same problem (switched phones, couldn't find the DnD exceptions). Ended up here with a Google search.
I found the exceptions under Settings, Notifications, then tap the app you want to create an exception for. It'll be in that next menu.
Previously, there was an "exceptions" menu where you select multiple apps at once to create exceptions for. Now you have to create an exception for each app one at a time. Thanks Android!
Follow up to DND settings issue
Quick follow up to this thread question - after you have set the exception per app and set the custom settings to bypass DND for particular groups, those excepted contacts and apps should override the sound setting, right? I just noticed I missed a tornado warning overnight because the phone was set to DND and silent. I found the emergency provider app to turn on the DND exception but when i go to test the alert sound for emergency alerts via the sms settings, the alert is still on vibrate somehow. Is there something I am missing to allow me to hear emergency alert notifications while in silent/DND mode? I have a Samsung galaxy s7, latest OS with AT&T if that helps. Thanks!

I've been wondering the same thing. There are some things I want to alert me regardless of the phone being muted.
I read a thread a while back where a previous Blackberry user who switch to another smartphone couldn't believe that the only apps that would override mute was 'alarm clock' and 'timer'. Basically, they wanted calendar events to notify them.
So, ya, if there's a tornado coming or you have an extremely important event you'd like to plan for 3 months from today, there's not alarm for that that overrides mute as far as I can tell.
I had the same issue. Active 911 as well. I found the setting within the Active911 app settings. Settings>Notification Settings>Do Not Disturb Exception.

Remove DND Ring APP Exception
I need to remove Ring Doorbell App from DND exceptions. I have been looking for hours for a way to do this. Been through the Ring App itself, Phone Settings>Apps, Settings>Notifications, Settings>DND... I can not find a way to remove the DND permission for the Ring App. Help?
On Note 9 (8.1) I go to "Settings" > "Apps" > choose an app > "Notifications" > tap on notification category in "Categories" section > "Do not disturb custom exception"
