So myself and several others at work are getting Amber alerts on our phones.. I'm the only one on the G5 and also the only one that is unable to clear the alert. I get the tones, loud as ever, despite my audio settings... But I get nothing as far as popups, notifications, etc. So... I have no way to clear them.
Anyone else with this issue? Any way to disable this completely? Thanks in advance to all who reply
EDIT: I resolved this issue (with the help of the comment below this post)... I use Textra as my primary messaging app, and use Nova to hide the stock messaging app. Textra does not display the alerts, but still allows the tones to generate. So, once I went into the stock app and changed the settings, all is fine now.
I have an OEM app on my phone called emergency alerts. I haven't received any yet, but does your phone have that app? When I open it and go to settings it gives me the options for Presidential Alerts, Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts, AMBER Alerts and Test Alerts. You can turn each of them (except Presidential Alerts) off and on.

I noticed today that my phone does not vibrate on notifications. When I put it in silent mode, it will vibrate for phone calls but not for any other notification such as SMS, Google Voice, etc. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT...hopefully this will help someone. After reading the forum for a bit I found a reference to the Sound Manager app. I downloaded it and checked the settings. For whatever reason, vibrate for notifications for turned off on my phone. The strange thing is, I cant find this setting anywhere. Under notifications, all I have is the option to change the ringtone. After turning vibrate on in Sound Manager, everything works. So my question is, why isnt there a vibrate on notification setting in my phone?
settings-->sound-->vibration-->always.

Unfortunately, that did not fix the issue for me. I tried every possible setting in sound>>vibration and could not get vibrate to work for notifications.
Mine works flawlessly.
Hello all,
I have a problem. I'd like my phone to only vibrate when I receive calls, and nothing else. Text messages should not trigger the vibration, nor any incoming emails. Only when someone else calls me.
Right now, my phone has vibration COMPLETELY disabled, meaning that even when people call me, it doesn't vibrate.
How can I mess around with the settings such that calls trigger the vibration?
I'm using the stock rom, if it makes a difference. Thanks!
I have disabled the test message vibration, as i use Go sms pro and i have disabled the vibration in it...
so only for calls my phone vibrates.
and for email.. I dont check mails in my mobile usually.. so u can disable vibration in ur email client app too
Individually go to each app settings and disable the vibration
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I never knew that you could individually change the application's vibration settings! That should do the trick.
I currently have the default Messenger App. What I've done , is go to Settings>>Notification Settings>>Select Ringtone>>Silent. I've left the notification under Settings>>Sound to "Vibrate to always", so hopefully that works?
And on a side note, what are the advantages (if any) of using Go SMS Pro over the stock SMS application, besides customizable themes?
Edit: Doing what I've described above does not give me the desired results. The phone still vibrates when text messages arrive.
I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.
Hello,
I like having notifications for all apps turned on, but there is pretty annoying stuff going on in all messaging apps we have.
For example
-if someone is sending you texts or messages via messenger, whatsapp, or viber or anything else, you are getting constant notifications sound everyfew seconds.
-if you have group messages and people are sending messages you constantly getting notifications
My question is, is there a way you could enable for all apps that: If you receive notification from app X and get notification sound, and if you get another notification from the same app, the sound does not happen because it is such short time before last and this notification. And we could setup for example allow sound only after there was 1min or 5 min after last notification sound, when it allows for the sound to happen again.
That way you could receive notification sound only every 1min or 5min or whatever you setup, if you have group chat and people are constantly typing something. Because if not, you are getting the sound every 3seconds.
I hope you understand and can help with this
Thank you
i have the redmi note 9s, im facing issues with all the notifications in general,
p.e.
- when i receive a whatsapp message i get the notification sound and vibration, sometimes just the soud and sometimes nothing.
and another thing (not sure if that´s how it works) if im i a regular phone call none of the notifications emite a sound nor vibration, im using headphones when in a regular phone call only.
I have checked all permission for apps that i want to get notifications from and restored the phone to factory settings. any thoughts?
Have you set the priority for those apps to "high"? That helped me for some apps.
Well, and setting up the notifications in the generel phone settings, and also activate autostart for those apps.
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
