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. :/

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,

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
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (SM-G350) with a custom rom Lineage 11 android 4.4.4 . As soon as i installed it I saw that the notifications where silent .
I checked the settings but they where all in non-silent mode . Even the touch sound and vibrate at touch dont work. Anyway the major problem is that i dont hear the notification from messenger and any other app except WhatsApp. After two days i heard a sound of messenger while i was playing a video with volume up. I hope anyone can help me or mabye the custom rom is not developed in the right way.
dear friends, i have mate 10 and i'm having whatsapp notification problem, i recieve whatsapp message and sometimes the phone doesn't sound notifications.
is the problem related to oreo, nougat or the whatsapp app itself.?
It does sound, but default notification setup for WhatsApp is very low sound, so i recommend you to change notification sound, and that would solve your problem. Cheers

He doesnt mean the sound volume, you should use another ringtone for whatsapp messages! You will find this under whatsapp settings/notifications/notification tone
i had a really bad experience with huawei so i exchanged my phone and got a samsung a3 2017 running nougat. and waiting for oreo update. not having any aingle issue.
Hi,
I am asking for some advice on the following issue.
I was always using the app Mobile hidden camera on several devices few Samsungs and on the Huawei p10. It always worked great. Recording video with locked phone worked fine. Then came the new update from Android/EMUI 8 to 9. And it stopped working or it works for one minute.
Video is recorded for exactly one minute and then freezes, but the sound is recorded for the whole time of the video.
I have read many threads on the aggressive app closing of the newer Emui versions but I think this isn't the fault, because the app is still running in the background with just sound recording. Could it also have to do something with new privacy policy in adroid 9. Have read somewhere that video and sound recording would not be possible any more. I have also tested all of the power saving settings (running in background, shut power optimization off, etc.). Tried also uninstalling the Powergeenie as suggested in an onother thread.
Do someone have any similar experience?
Nice greetings!!
Forgot to add that when the app is running on top it works normal. The problem is only when the app is minimized or the screen is locked.
Maybe somebody has some other app suggestion for background video recording?
Solution
The Solution to the problem were notifications of the app. If the app doesn't give any notifications (shown in the status bar or the locked screen) the system puts it to sleep and it cant run in the background. If there are enabled notifications in the app, their appearance still can be disabled in the notifications options in the android settings.
Hello, I recently bought Redmi Note 11s to upgrade from my old Blackview which is running Android 7. After turning the phone on I updated to MIUI 13.0.1 and debloated the phone using UAD. As a side note I don't think debloating is related to this at all.
Now my issue with the phone is that I don't get proper notifications, it's really easy to miss phone calls or messages because there is no blinking notification. My phone usually is in silent mode and often I just leave my phone on my desk. AOD also doesn't work as it should, what I mean by that is that it should stay on when call is missed or if there is a message that is unseen. It doesn't do that.
I can have AOD working if I disable MIUI optimizations but that is not ideal, nor I actually want my screen to always be turned on and draining battery. I did try using black background with everything disabled, so it would only show white thingy on the screen when there are notifications. Which worked alright, but battery seems to be draining quite a bit faster with MIUI optimizations disabled.
Also I don't like the idea of using third party apps to be able to get some sort of better notifications, on top of that third party apps really want to collect a lot of your data which is silly. I am not a dev or anything but I would assume such apps should only be allowed to add notifications based on information what is given by notifications service in the phone. And it shouldn't have access to individual apps that receive messages or phone calls.
As for pop up / floating window notifications, these don't seem to work at all with MIUI 13.0.1.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
How did you figure it out. I also need notifications on the lock screen, but I haven't found a workable and reliable solution yet
I had the same problem, it's strange that since there is an option to turn on the Notification Effect in the settings, it will only work once (it's some software junk)
So I installed LED Blinker Notification - and even that works, I tested NotifyBuddy but the first one suited me better.
