[Q] Turn off notification sound when screen is on? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if there is an app that can do that, turning off notification sound when the screen is on, for example when I have the screen on and I received a whatsapp message and I'm already in whatsapp app and I don't want it to sound because I see the notification.
I don't know if I explained myself cristal clear,
Thanks anyway.

Search for an app called tasker.
Use it to turn the sound on nd off according to whether your screen is locked or not

[Q] camera beeping?

Is there a way to prevent the phone from making noise when using camera?
I am trying to delete the sound file instead set the phone to silent.
Currently I deleted two shutter sound at
system/media/audio/ui
but the phone would still beep when auto focusing using the cam button.
But there is no sound at all if I use the on screen button.
Does anyone know where does the beep come from?
Thank you.

Silentsnap is supposed to do this. Now you can take pictures of women without them knowing,
Also under alarm settings disable "alarm in silent mode"(not even sure if our phone has that but others do.
^^^^lol
But seriously the auto-focus beep is annoying as hell especially if you just have it open waiting to take a pic
Open the camera, tap on the settings icon (top one if streak is in landscape, one all the way on the right if in portrait). Scroll all the way to the bottom and under "Shutter Sound" select off.

if you would follow the steps and test it out for yourself to see what happens, you would notice that it does disable the focus beeping sound as well.

so...did u find smthng??
Also very curios? is there a system .prop that can be changeD?
Please do something, i must turn noise reduction off everytime. blq.
any idea how to turn off the N.C?
I noticed something totally strange today on my SGS2.
The noise reduction works great - leaving the phone next to my speaker (playing music) i couldn't hear any music on the other line!
BUT ... after i bought a protective phone cover (made of some hard rubber) i noticed that during a call, the one on the other line can hear it's voice with an echo. Removed the protective phone cover - problem gone. If i put the phone near this cover during a call - BANG, problem reappears.
Disabling noise reduction fixes the problem (even with the cover on the phone) for good, but it sucks that you have to disable it on each call.
There MUST be a way do disable NC for good ...

[Q] Vibration Notifications ~ [Sorted] ~ Culprit was Volume Ace

I have been looking at the Notification Vibration in a number of Apps and don't seem to be having any luck.
As an example on my Galaxy Tab I have sound ON and in the Twidroyd App I have it set to Vibrate on Alerts which it plays both a Notification sound AND vibrates strongly.
However, on the SGS II with the same settings in Twidroyd it will only play the sound but will not vibrate.
Note: Both phones main settings/sound settings/ vibrate is set to Always.
Has anyone else experienced no notification vibration?
EDITED:
Sorted ~ See Post 16.
It was the App Volume Ace which had turned off Vibration Notifications.
I have the same kind of problem.
Incoming calls, the phone sounds but no vibration. In settings, vibration is set to "Always".
Any idea please ?!?
Thanks
Well I am pleased someone finally decided to add a comment here, even if it were only to agree.
I find it difficult to accept that everyone is happy their SGS2 has no vibration notification.
Come on members... voice your thoughts.
Only with your input can we then investigate further.
Hey, I found something interesting that brings the vibration to my incoming calls. Maybe it's gonna help you.
1. in Settings/Sound make sure you set "Always" to Vibration
2. Put a cross to Haptic feedback then set your intensity
3. Desactivate Haptic feedback
I tried to call my SGS2 and the vibration came with the ringtone.
Last step, I re-activated the Haptic feedback and vibration is still working with the ringtone.
PS : hope you understood my english...

What ROM version are you using?
Haven't tried this yet but if it does work well done but obviously there is an error on the phone in that it should work by default yet takes this weird method to activate it.
Now what about other vibration alerts..... any takers?
I'm using the latest XWKE7 with a root SGS2
The others vibration alerts seems to work good.

Interesting...... So this may be an issue with stock roms.
I have decided to wait until Gingerbread 2.3.4 before updating as apart from the dreaded no vibration notifications everything else seems great.
I'd like to hear from any other members please.... if only to say their vibration notifications work/don't work and what rom they are on... Thanks.
Mine rings and vibrates on incoming call. Vibrate is set to always and I've not noticed any issues.
Maybe its the ringtone that you're using?
Notifications seem fine too e.g. on whatsapp.
Oh and I'm on stock.

What about other notifications.
I.e. on my Tab whenever I receive a tweet I hear the notification and it vibrates.
The SGS2 only plays the audio notification.
Yeh other notifications from apps where I've set to vibrate seem fine.
I actually downloaded Twydroid to test it out - set notifications for tweets, mentions and DMs and set to vibrate but all I got was the sound. Weird.

I'm pleased you chose Twydroid as that is the twitter App I use.
You say other Apps though work.
Can you tell me of one so that I can instal and try it out to see if I can get the vibration to work.

I have the XDA App installed and that doesn't play vibration alerts.
Re Facebbok it won't let me sign in so will have to try that again.
However what concerns me is you say XDA works for you yet fire me nothing.... no vibration.
Need to look more into XDA when I get out of theatre.
Just about to go in for a short surgery.
Catch you later have to prep.
Thanks.
Sorted....... and it was unbelievably simple (and stupid of me not to notice).
The 'culprit' (although I share blame in not noticing) was the App 'Volume Ace' which I had already installed some time ago.
Last night after theatre I checked thoroughly all the Apps that should be sending a vibration notification and there was nothing untoward that showed any sign the Apps would hit a problem with a vibration alert.
Next step was to look again at my settings..... nothing wrong there.
Finally I then started to methodically go through each App which had some form of control to Sound.
It was not long before I found when you brought up the window of Volume Ace there was something I had previously missed.
Take a look at the first screen picture in the link I have highlighted above and if you look 'ever so' closely at the second volume control, to the right is a 'vibration' icon.
This icon was not lit up. So I tapped on the icon, this changed it's appearance to bright orange and closed the window down.
As I receive tweets every couple of minutes or so it was not long before Twydroid sent me an audio notification AND yes.... a vibration one as well.
So, all sorted.
Thank you to all those who have participated. I now am going to find a quiet room to hide my face of shame.
Ha no worries, glad you got it sorted and hope all went ok with your op, cheers

Yes, it's now performing just as it should and I still can not believe how simple it were in the end. Very unusual for me to miss something like this.
It would be easy for me to put it down to the 22 operations I have performed this past week and say they have kept me busy but that would only be an excuse.
Not to be picky, but looking at the thread title looks like it was the app (Volume Ace) misbehavior.
You can change the same setting in the stock/built in settings, the app will just reflect that change.

[Q] Gmail Screen Notification?

Hello,
Does anyone know of an app that notifies by waking up the screen or something visual even in standby mode? I work in a pretty noisy place and often won't feel a vibration so it would be ideal to have the SGP on my desk and visually see when a new email arives in my gmail inbox.
I saw an app called NoLED...
...but it does not work for my SGP
Thanks!
Try NotifierPro Plus.
Instant notifications with
sound, vibrations, lights and the screen will wake up everytime there's a new alert.
I have it on my SGP 5, it works pretty well.
Sent from my YP-G70
Thanks! Looks like this will work.
Now that I'm asking...anyone know of an app that's free?
NotifierPro is free.

[Q] Green Led Always Blinking?

I recently bought my HTC One and my LED won't stop blinking green. I use Apex launcher, Fusion messenger and Gmail and none of those are sending off a notification.
Any ideas?
If your talking about the led please elaborate, or are your actually Saying your device is not giving any notification sounds
If I'm not mistaken HTC doesnt offer the colored led notification that's normally found In Samsung devices
If you can't get sounds for your gmail and whatnot...try and go in menu settings in the email app and set what you need ...
I'm just confused on what your asking .....versus just Making a statement by what it looks like .

The notification LED that is in the top speaker grille on the left hand side, it lights up on notification and when charging.
Mine is always on and I can't figure out why.
