I've just bought the Gear Fit today and it's working really well. I'm using it with a Note 3, but I would really like for my phone to be silent while the Fit does vibrate and show notifications.
At the moment the Fit only vibrates when my phone is also on vibration. If the sound is turned on or when it's silent my Fit doesn't even show notifications automatically.
Is this simply not possible or am I doing something wrong?
I have a Gear Fit with a Note 3 as well. My phone is always set to silent (no noise or vibration on phone) and I can still receive the alert on the gear fit via vibration. I would have expected the notifications once chosen on gear manager to always be pushed to the gear fit.
that's no normal : my S4 mini is always in silent mode, and I receive my notifications correctly on the Fit
I have figured out the problem after receiving another notification than Whatsapp. It seemed to be an issue with Whatsapp and had to manually turn on the vibrations in Whatsapp notification settings. It's now working properly.

I have a very simple profile set up to put my phone in silent mode during certain days and times. The profile is being executed as expected. I can go into Sound menu on the phone and see that the phone was put into silent mode. However, the silent and vibrate icons are not displayed in the notification bar. Even more troublesome, is that the phone wont actually vibrate when I get a call or notification. If I manually deselect and select silent, I will see both icons and the phone functions as expected. Is there perhaps some bug in Tasker that is not handling this correctly?
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted running Unnamed rom.
BUMP....sorry to bump this but was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?
More information: I downloaded Sound Manager which is an app that shows the status of the various volume & vibrate settings. After Tasker has executed the profile to put my phone into silent mode, I used Sound Manager to doublecheck my vibrate status, and both calls and notifications are set to not vibrate at all even though in my phone settings I have vibrate on silent. When I change the call and notification vibrate settings in Sound Manager to vibrate on silent as well, I see the appropriate icons . This tells me that Tasker is doing something wrong when setting my phone to silent.
Any ideas?
I am having a similar problem
I set the "silent mode" to "vibrate" (in tasker) but I get an icon of silent instead of vibrate.
Same problem here, tasker puts phone in silent mode bud doesn't enable vibration (manually setting silent mode in statussbar works fine) looks like tasker bug to me.
Galaxy s2
Rom: KI4 rooted
EDIT:
HA! Found it! Silent Mode in tasker doesn't have 2 modes (ON and OFF). Instead it has 3 (on, VIBRATE, off). Set it to VIBRATE and you ar back in bussiness
Checked it - works. If others confirm we can mark this one solved
I have a very similar issue. I have a profile that is triggered when I am near two cell towers at my work. The actions put the Phone Ringer to volume 0 and enable vibrate, and I see the vibrate icon in the notification tray, but I've tested calling myself from my office phone, and the phone still rings at normal volume.
I'm using an LG G3, rooted and running stock ROM, Android 5.
similar issue for meI have a profile that activates when my phone sees the wifi at work will set the phone to silent mode (3 – vibrate). It works fine when I first get in as it will vibrate, but then after some unknown amount of time it will set the ringer back to wherever it was (like it exits the profile) but the profile is still active in tasker. If I manually reexecute the profile it will stay in vibrate the rest of the day. Ideas?
No vibration but just card showing up with text messages. I get vibration and card with emails just fine though. All settings are set to vibrate and the phone (Note 3) vibrates just not the G watch. Please help!

You have to set the vibrate settings for each individual app. If you use hangouts eg then make sure vibration is enabled in hangouts. Which sms app do you use?
I figured it out by accident actually. The phone has to be on complete silent mode without vibration notice in order for it to buzz on the watch. The messaging app has the vibration notice checked but my phone volume had to be in silent mode.
Hi guys,
I have a strange issue with my Alpha.
I bought this case - cannot paste link (spam lol) - Samsung Flip Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Alpha - Black
Now, this case replaces the original backplate and has contacts on the inside to (I guess) activate the hall sensor that detects whether the case is open (wake up) or closed (sleep). So far so good, everything working as indented.
Now the problem is that when the case is closed and I get called, it vibrates only once (if in silent mode)
When I use normal mode the ringtone functions normal but still, it vibrates only once, like 2 seconds, then is should pause for a sec and vibrate again, like every damn phone does.
The funny thing is that when I open/remove the case, it works perfectly fine, it vibrates in perfect interval.
What I noticed is that with the case applied and closed, after the first vibration you can barley feel a short vibration, every second or so, which seems like it tries to vibrate but hasn't enough power. SMS - and other notification vibrations work fine.
It is rooted, but this issue also occured on stock.
I hope it was somewhat clear
Thanks!
Am trying to de-activate vibration for notifications while having notification sounds active - previous devices I've used have had the option to keep sound on (notifications, calls, alarms) but turn off vibration completely, whereas I can't find a way to leave sound on but turn vibration off.
Most notifications are for Whatsapp, have turned off Vibration for all settings I could find within Whatsapp settings. Can't find anything that relates specifically to Vibration in the Xperia settings though. Am running stock standard setup for the Compact (just purchased a few days ago).

If you're receiving vibration when sound is on, it's the app causing it. The regular "sound on" profile is for sound only. Your app should not vibrate unless you set the device to the vibrate profile but a lot of apps do it anyway. I don't use those apps.
I just upgraded from an S10 Plus. I have my audio settings set exactly the same. When using Google Maps to navigate I have it set to alert only. On the S10 while driving the music would drop in volume, I would get the alert tone and she would say "speed trap ahead" along with the pop-up on the screen asking if the speed trap is still there. On the S23 I only get the pop-up on the screen, no audio notification and the music volume stays constant. Is this a known bug? I would also get notification tones for messages as well, nothing on the S23. If I set it to be completely un-muted the turn by turn directions come through as expected but I have not yet driven through an area where an alert notification would come through while un-muted.
That sounds like a bug because I have a macro set to run everytime I connect to my car to turn down notification volume to 0 so it doesn't mute audio for notifications but calls still ring for me just fine.
