As part of my job responsibilities I am on call and receive pages for system alerts. Sometimes, we get many (hundreds) of alerts at once. The first time this happened with my S4 it rebooted itself after about 30 SMS messages were received in quick succession. Three more times this past weekend it did the same thing. At the time I was on the lock screen, so the SMS notification thing was up on the screen, and I could tell it was having trouble updating the screen with the frequency of incoming notifications.
Anyone else experience this problem, and do you think Verizon would accept this as "faulty" and exchange my phone for something that can handle SMS notifications, if there's no fix?
No I'm not rooting, if I pay for a working phone I want a working phone out of the box. If I mess with it afterwards, THEN I have only myself to blame, but I'd like to get this issue worked out before I do that, as I have done with all the phones I've rooted/unlocked.
Hi Guys,
I've noticed a problem with my Whatsapp the last couple of days, I have single messages to vibrate when coming through, but group messages to not vibrate (I'm in a lot of groups and its problematic when I'm at work )
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, and its swtiched off in app, but no matter what, I still get vibration when a group message comes through, which is a lot.
Has anyone else noticed this? I've looked through the S5 settings but cant seem to find anything to fix it. It's only happened since I updated WA 2 days ago.
Also, I should add, I changed my cache from dalvik to ART, so maybe that could be it?
Cheers.

In groups or single notification... there is an independent configurations; I had ART and Dalvik and no vibration at all
Hi Mate,
I never had any issues at all until the other day, I originally used the in app settings to control vibration, but even if they are both off it wil still vibrate for new messages,
I've gone back to Dalvik as the phone was begining to lag and hang, but still have the issue with whatsapp.
Sorry guys, I didn't realise it was that confusing.
the break it down.
Until the latest update (about 3-4 days ago) I had single messages in WA to vibrate, but group ones not to vibrate. This was controlled in the App itself, via settings -> Notifications.
So I had Vibrate: Default for Message (single) notifications and Group Notifications Vibrate: Off.
BUT it still vibrates for group message, even though its off.
Does that make sense now?

This is happening with me too since the last update and is driving me nuts!
Hello!
I'm having a similar problem, did you manage to find a solution?
I had opened a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/whatsapp-bug-please-help-t2824223
I reported the bug to Whatsapp, they told me it's a feature lol! I asked them if this was indeed a feature then what's the use of the "default" setting under notification->Vibration. No answer.
I upgraded Whatsapp about 5 times to different new versions to no avail. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail.
Is there any solution? Can we use tasker to fix this?
Thank you kindly.
Issues Resolved???
Hello!!
I am also in a similar situation.
My phone(HTC M8) Vibrates even after all the Vibrations are turned off.
But this happens only when the phone is in Vibration mode or Silent Mode.
In the Normal mode audio comes but no Vibrations.
Need to stop all Vibrations for Whatsapp Notifications.
Any Suggestions??
Thanks!!

Reporting this bug to whatsapp since april 2014? or early....but they don´t do nothing.
I found a workaround: If you want no vibration put Whatssapp Tone notification: None
I suggest all whatsapp vibrate problem :
Go play store and install app ops and than reboot your phone open app ops and find whatsapp kill permission of vibrate
Wattsup just updated.
Also make sure you have Notification for GROUPS and individual messages turned to OFF in Wattsup Settings !!
1st seleck on vibtare on go back exit from app and now select off may be its work
Im also face this problem in my note3
Same problem here with 2.12.194. Before the update I had individual messages vibrate on and group message vibrate off. Now with every message in a group chat the phone vibrates. I already uninstalled and installed whatsapp, deleted cache, even downgraded to 2.12.193 where I didn't had this problem but now it's present!!! :S:S:S:S

For those people who end up in this thread because they experience this issue: I've found a solution.
Go to: Settings --> Notifications --> Notification Sound --> "Silent" AND Settings --> Notifications --> Vibrate --> "Off"
Do this for single messages, or group messages, or both, whichever you need.
The problem is that if you set a sound (instead of silent) for these messages, but then set your phone to silent/vibrate, it will try to play the sound when you receive a message, but the phone, not Whatsapp, will "convert" it to vibrate.
I can confirm it on WA 2.12.252, even if Notification sound and Vibrate are set to Off :/

even though this is an ola thread I made an account just to thank you for this post, been driving me nuts for days!!
Hello,
Recently purchased an LG V10 with 5.1.1 stock, AT&T, and I've done absolutely no modding.
Scenario 1: sending hangouts data messages over LTE (for example; they are quick and easy to test with) work OK from my end. On receiving phone on different carrier, message arrives in about 5sec. Slower than I'm used to on every other phone I've used but not a big deal. SMS are sent faster and arrive in the normal amount of time which is still faster than hangouts.
Scenario 2: My phone is asleep\screen off and hangout messages are sent from the other phone to mine over LTE. My phone does nothing for as long as I let it stay asleep. But Incoming phone calls to my cell number notifies me instantly and
SMS sent to my phone notifies me instantly.
Scenario 1 and 2 are the same when using Wi-Fi, and with other apps that can trigger notifications when the screen is off. Those notifications only appear after I've unlocked the phone, and some appear only after I've opened the app. The notifications will have correct timestamps but the sounds and visuals only happen once I've picked up the phone and started using it; they all flood in at once.
I've made sure that my settings for allowing notifications (priority it's called on the LG ROM) is set to allow everything.
I've done a lot of searching online and people with various phones (Galaxy S6's most recently) appear to have this issue and it also appears to have a history as far back as Android 4.1. They say the fix is an app that changes the checking times from the stock Android 28minutes or something, down to like 5 minutes. I have tried one that doesn't require root and it has not changed any behaviour that I can measure.
My question is, is this a phone problem? Like a bad OS install from the factory (did i just get a bad unit?) or an APN setting issue (haven't messed with it from factory settings) or is it an Android problem that needs a bug submitted since I see it happening on Samsung phones too?
I've had many other phones, mostly Samsung and even a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 but hangouts and emails and every other notification was practically instantaneous whether on Wi-Fi or cell network.
Thoughts?
I have had a HTC One Max now for almost two years. Over the last few weeks, incoming text notifications for the most part have stopped. The phone ringer works fine every time, but 90% of the time I have to just check my phone to see if I have an incoming text. I am using Mood SMS, but that apparently is not the problem. I also have the same issue if I use ChompSMS or the stock messaging app. Notifications are turned on, on both MoodSMS and the stock app. I have tried clearing cache and have even done a factory reset of the phone, and this is still happening. The phone is stock 4.4.2 and is temporarily rooted using Weaksauce2. It has been this way for months with no problems, so I do not think I can blame it. As a side note, last week we had severe storms and tornado warnings, and I also never received any notification or alarms for them. My wife's and co-workers phones all went off like crazy during the storm warnings. I am baffled! Does anybody have any ideas on what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated!!
