Hi
Love the S3
However, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to disable vibration when recieving a mail on my exchange account...
I have my phone set to vibrate only all the time, and i want it to vibrate only when recieving a call or a text...
However it always vibrates when recieving exchange mail! It does NOT vibrate when recieving gmail... If i switch off the exchange tray notification it does NOT vibrate. However i want the tray/led notification, but no vibration... Im 99% sure this is how it is on SGSII, Galaxy Nexus and so on...
Any ideas?
Under settings vibrate somewhere there is a setting for auto vibrate/auto haptic.
Check if it's active for the exchange app. You can either disable it for only exchange or disable the feature altogether.
I'm imagining it's not a small oversight by you about forgetting to untick vibrate alert in the exchange mail app itself.

No auto haptic is disabled, otherwise everthing will vibrate
Notifications are set to silent..
There are no option to select vibrate or not in the e-mail app...

I don't know if this will work, I only just flipped it myself:
In the file /data/data/com.android.email/shared_prefs/AndroidMail.Main.xml, I've set the line <boolean name="<UUID>.vibrate" value="false" />. Before it was true. The <UUID> is a (surprise) UUID, that I'm guessing identifies the account; a guess that other lines in the file seems to support.
Try it out. It might work. When I find out either way, I'll post back, but I wanted to share my findings ASAP.
EDIT: You need root for this to work, obviously. Those files are protected against fiddling from the regular user.
Hmm i think you have a point.. There are quite a bit of references to vibrate ,including one set to "always" in the files in that folder, which i set to "never"... I edited around a bit with root explorer, which creates a .bak file, but the changes seem to be reverted when rebooted, and the .bak files are deleted as well...
I hardly have time now, but over the weekend i will mess around with it a bit...

Hmm, no dice. The setting that seems to be the right one, which is in com.android.email_preferences.xml and called <string name="account_settings_vibrate_when">always</string> can be set to "never", but whenever I enter the settings screen from the phone, it reverts back to 'always'.
I have also fiddled around in the database files, thinking that maybe the xml got overridden from a database value, but no dice.
I have found a work around temporarily before they update the software with a more discrete management of vibration in different notifications.
Under settings - sounds - vibration intensity you can set the notification vibration to nil.
I primarily use this for it to only vibrate when phone call comes and all other notification i only want sound and no vibration.

Problem is that also turns off vibration for texts/SMS'es, and I don't want that (turns out BTW that the stock Samsung SMS-app also lacks a vibration option in its notification settings... a trend?). It sucks balls.

Yay! After the latest Samsung firmware update (I9300XXBLFB), a 'Vibrate' checkbox has appeared in the settings for the email app. Sadly, still nothing in the SMS app. But it's a start.

Hi all
I upgraded my S3 to Android 4.0.4 yesterday on Rogers in Canada and it's running even better.
The only issue I noticed is regarding the vibration notification form the native email app. I used to not get notified when I was on a call and an email comes through. Now, it vibrates every time i get an email while on a call. i did find the setting in the email app to remove the vibration notification but it removes it completely even when not on a call and also when it's in vibrate mode??
for Gmail it's working well, only get a silent status bar notification which is what I want.
does anyone experience the same? let me know what I should do. it's frustrating to get that vibrating noise while on a call. i did try the kill the duck app but it didn't work....
Thanks

Thanks... but already have tried that. It works for all apps except for the native email app. Seems that after the update to Android 4.0.4, after they've added the vibration notification option, it seems to override all other vibrate notifications.
So for instance if i tick off that option in the native email app settings... and my phone is on vibrate, i won't get the vibe notification. and if i have it on, it will always be on, even while on a call....
So I only need a solution to suppress it while on a call... tried some apps like kill the duck and it still didn't work....
Help!

Well, since that option didn't work, one solution is Tasker. It'll give you (among a sh*tload of other stuff) the ability to define a context, e.g. 'Call in progress' and then set 'Vibrate on Notify: Off' while that context is true.
It's got a GAZILLION more possibilities, and the learning curve may seem a bit steep. And it's a pay-app. But it's worth every last penny, if you ask me.
Check it out.

Apart from Tasker, is there anything else out there? 4.99$ for an app to simply disable the email vibrate notification on a call is not the ideal solution....

Well, there are other similar apps, like Locale or Settings Profile. Some of them have "Lite" or "Free" versions that may or may not work. All of them are general purpose context/setting apps, though. I don't know of any, except that Duck app you mentioned, which didn't work, that do just what you want. Sorry.
On a side note, Tasker has a 7-day trial version on their home page.
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

yup i already did this. looks like my unit needs to be replaced.
Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?

If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
Hey!
The Live Tiles on my device won't show me notifications. I know that the Facebook app still has problems but also other apps won't work. Even the store doesn't tell me about apps that need to be updated.
Of course all the settings are set to give me such notifications. Does anyone else have this problem?
ran out of time - lol

Sorry was me read it wrong theres no 'notification center' guess that means like the status bar on android.
---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------
Currently Windows 8/and WP7-8 are displaying notification numbers on the Tiles. However this causing major issues to keep up with your apps.
First you need to manually check every single Tile to see if there is any notification available for that specific app. The more apps you have the more tiles you need to follow manually in order to catch up with your stuff.
Second and most importantly. Many people are installing apps but they do not pin the Tile on the Start Screen. In that scenario it is impossible to get notifications for the specific app and yet in many cases people want to have the app installed but they do not need the tile visible all of the time in front of there faces, but they need to keep up with that app and its notifications which is impossible if they do not have the app's tile pinned in the Start Screen.
Third, the pop-up notifications are displayed ONCE and then they are gone for ever. It is almost impossible to remember them at a later time, if you do not click on them at the time they appeared.
Found this on Neowin
Hope it helps, as for me still waiting for mine to be delivered.

Hello,
I've updated my WhatsApp last night to v2.11.476 and it starts showing heads up notifications that, no matter what i try, unable to turn off. This only happens to individual chats though. Group chats still behave like before, i.e. icon just show up in the notification bar.
I also cant disable the vibrations no matter which settings i use. This is driving me nuts. Is there a way i can tun the heads up notifications off ONLY for specific apps? I suppose once I'm able to do this the problem with the vibrations will go off too.
Thanks.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!

I'm new to the Samsung phones and can't seem to get notifications to show up on my lockscreen or get the led to flash. I know you have to set this up per app in settings but I can't seem to find an option that allows for this with notification sound turned off. I'm especially having issues with Twitter and Gmail.
TIA for the help.
If your profile is "silent" or "vibrate", the notification sound won't come out.
