Hi all, just bought an S3 to replace my old LG 2x, I have a annoying problem on my S3. I'm a teacher so I want my phone to be completely on silent mode while in class but I noticed that notifications seem to keep on giving a sound whilst on silent or vibrate mode. I tried to change in the settings but no luck ? Is there a way to avoid this ?

open numberpad and long press "#" to switch to silent mode..there are lot of shortcuts to do this...there is a toggle in notification shortcuts also...I believe there is something you are not doing right in settings...!

I know the shortcuts, but in the settings is it possible to set the preferences for the different profiles ? Can't find them ...
Just checked again and when on vibrate or silent mode i keep getting notification sound when receiving text message or email. If i change in settings f.ex. all sounds off and switch to normal mode i get no sound. .. is it hardware related ?

Firmware rather than hardware you can try a factory reset .

Found several owners on the net who have the same issue. I installed an app "easy sound widget" and that does the trick. Strange that many owners have this and that Samsung overlooked such a basic setting...

Had a go with searching this site and google but I can't seem to find the anwser to this one.
The problem. Whenever I switch the phone back on it displays my personel details rather than the today screen. If I tap the screen... tada there it is... Trouble is that alarms seem to hide behind this too...
One other question, what safe guards do you guys take when going to the cinema with the XDA? do you turn the phone off then mute all sounds via the speaker icon?
Edy
Edy,
go to Start \ Settings \ Owner Information and un-select the 'Show information when device is turned on'
this will do the job.
Wonderfull, thanks very much I missed the setting. Get confused with my XDA (an MDA really) because my german is only really okay... ie pretty crap...
Any advice on not getting punched in the cinema?
You can activate the flight mode feature. It is like turning off the phone but leaving the pda features available. You can set it by clicking on the signal strength indicator and on the "turn on flight mode" link. Hope this helps.

Tap on the volume icon and select either Vibrate or Off. Or better yet, use PocketZenPhone. Just look at the PocketZenPhone thread in this forum.
Is there any way to disable the haptic feedback on the bottom four soft keys. I hate getting that vibration whenever I use them.
+1 I also dislike the vibration but cannot find a setting to disable it.

@aaurnab
Check the development forum. There is a thread explaining how to accomplish this.
There's actually 2 threads ATM about this. One disabling it through the framework-res.apk and one through the android.policy.jar file. So far only the first one has worked for me.

can you give the link of framework-res.apk ...
it's quite simple guys without getting too tech.
2 places to look:
1. Sound settings - disable Heptic feedback
2. Input settings - disable vibration
Did it for me.

Both these settings are not available in Atrix
Turn off haptic feedback on softkeys
Hi all, had my atrix (rooted) nearly a week now on Orange UK and one of the most annoying things for me was the haptic feedback on the soft keys, i couldn't find a setting in my phone to turn them off, so i scoured this forum looking for ways to do it, and it looked like the only way was to alter the framework which i'm not very comfortable in doing. So i went through the android market and came across this amazing app called VIBRAFIX ( must be rooted ) which allows you to turn the haptic feedback on the soft keys off, but also gives you the option of keeping vibrate on for your calls, sms and alarm clock. Hopefully this will save a me a bit of juice in my battery aswell.

I am having this problem with my phone. Every time I set the phone ring volume, after a while (30-60 minutes) I suddenly hear my phone vibrate and then it automatically on its own goes into silent mode with silent icon appearing in the top bar. It is very annoying to keep checking my phone to see if it has not gone into silent mode.
Any idea what may be causing this. I cannot find in anything in the settings to enable or disable this.
please help!
I am getting tired of my phone automatically turning the ringer off and going into silent mode after emitting a short pulse vibration (like in notification) while sitting on my desk every few hours.

got this tip from an user on Android Central:
There is a settings tweak in the Power Save mode to toggle vibrations. I think the default is no vibrations.
I will give this a try now.

Thank you for the tip. I want to say that I love this phone....however, given its rounded back shape, the vibration was especially loud and annoying. I had been looking for ways to disable all vibration but didn't realize the power saving mode was the culprit. Now, I wont jump out of my chair every time I get a notification. Thank you again for putting my nerves at ease!

i figured out what the issue is - an app called Onavo has been changing the ringer profile to silent whenever mobile data is becoming active. uninstalled the app and it works like a charm.
good job
Its mostly caused by power savers. just uninstall apps you suspect one at a time
Hello Team ,
I am using one plus X phone . currently , my android phone version is 6.0.1 , Oxygen OS version 3.1.4 and kernel version us 3.4.0-perf-ge4f53e4.
I am facing the below problem :
My phone automatically went silent mode. i faced these type of problem since 1 week .
If any one face the same problem , please help me to solve the concern.
I am currently having this same issue with my U11. It`s very annoying when I miss calls and notifications!!!!!
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. :/
Best regards,
Marcus

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

If Silent profile didn't help, try looking at each app's settings
