Hey all,
Have my phone on Vibrate and when I receive a Google mail the phone isn't vibrating and the LED isn't flashing. As far as I can see all options in Google mail and the phone settings suggest I should be getting both.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Hmmmmm a reboot seems to have fixed this, lets hope it doesn't get into a habit of it
didn't work for me, rebooted, but still no vibrate on new SMS, light flashing, tho
Apologize for cross-posting, but I'm getting frustrated with this. A reboot didn't help me either.
Everything was working before, but just today I noticed it refused to vibrate on email notifications. WinMo used to have a similar annoying bug, but it was related to replies. This bug is affecting all messaging notifications, i.e. Exchange, pop3, Gmail and SMS.
I've gone in to general settings and put vibrate on. I've gone into each account and turned vibrate on. I've gone into Messaging (SMS) and turned vibrate on. Vibrate is basically turned on throughout the system, but it's still not vibrating except for phone calls.
I've uninstalled all of the last apps I had installed to no avail.
Anyone with any advice?
Last resort could be hard reset

Not really keen on hard reseting, but will try that as a last resort.
I ended up fixing it with a hard reset.
First time around, I chose to reinstall the settings from the auto backup that was on the SD card, but I experienced the same behaviour.
Redid the hard reset and opted for cancel when asked about reinstalling the backup settings and all seems well so far.
Suspect it was a dodgy app or could have been that running the battery down flips a software switch to turn off vibrations, but the switch has a hard time flipping back. Will wait and see how long I can keep the vibrating notifications, but now I know how to solve it.
On another note, talk about a waste with that auto backup function. I mean, to really be useful you should be able to choose when it backs up and which backup you want to reinstall. Having it constantly backup settings like it does is bound to backup whatever went wrong in the first place. Oh well.

Vibration on Notifications (such as email) is no longer working. It definately used to and i have checked the email settings and it is definately set to vibrate but it has just stopped working. it vibrates fine for incoming calls so the vibration definately works
Has this happened to anyone else and anyone know what might be up with it?
Thanks
First: Have you rebooted the phone?
I've also had this issue. Unfortunately, I also did what is suggested somewhere: Hard-Reset. It's not THE solution, but a solution nevertheless.
yeah ive done many reboots but still the same. I really really dont wanna do a hard reset as ive got all my apps and themes set up just how i want them
I feel for you guys cause I was there yesterday. It was probably my post you read about hard reseting.
Just to reiterate, this is what I tried without success:
* repeated rebooting
* unticking all of the vibrate choices and reticking them
* unticking all of them, rebooting, reticking test and reboot and test
* uninstalling all of my apps, one by one
* hard reseting and choosing to reinstall the automatically saved backup from the SD card.
What worked for me in the end was a hard reset (I used the volume down-power button method), and opting NOT to reinstall the backup data from the SD card.
Do you guys remember what you did prior to noticing this? Some have said running the battery down low, but I suspect it's some app that was installed or updated that causes it. I'd like to know so as to avoid having to hard reset again (cause it is a real PITA).
For me, in the day or so before it occurred, I had run the battery down low, had several app updates and had wifi network problems causing my Exchange email to hang, so I can't really narrow down what the cause was.
hmm, i cant pin it down to any app i installed but i also let the battery run right down ( so that the phone turned itself off). This seems to be common amongst the few people that have had the problem but we cant be sure unless someone does it who currently doesnt have the problem
Ok, ive found a solution elsewhere in this forum which means you dont have to hard reset your phone to get the vibrate working. If you download a program called 'sound manager' you can change the phones notification vibration settings. I have tried this and it is now vibrating fine for me when i receive notifications. If you want it, heres the link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5982672
it seems from everyones experience that this issue is caused by the battery going real low and it electing to turn off vibration to save battery, but never turns it back on when the phone is charged.
This phone seems real buggy to me...
Hey guys, first post here of many hopefully.
Been following this thread from near the beginning and have finally got my hands on a HTC Desire via Vodafone Twitter deal
Absolutely love this phone and it's the envy of all my friends which is never a bad thing. I'm constantly discovering new things which is awesome and I'm pleased I came and saw the Android side.
Anyway, I've come across a problem.
When receiving texts, I've noticed that the phone will not vibrate. I've made sure that vibrate setting in the Messaging settings is green ticked and that Notifications is ticked. But still not working. It works when i'm rang just not when texted.
Have tried using Handcent messaging app but had the same problem... What can I do?
Thanks guys
I've had the same problem since I got mine two weeks ago.
Have you resolved this in any way? It's bloody annoying!
Hmm, strange... seems to work on my phone ok.
Since you have already tried Handcent, try the app "Sound Manager," from the Android Marketplace. Use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it see if that works.
Other than that, backup your data and try a hard reset (also try without SD card inserted) to eradicate any potential software bugs.
Tried sound manager, still no help.
I can get calls and notifcations to vibrate when on the normal profile and set them to vibrate, but on my normal profile I want sound only, so have vibrate turned off. When I change to the vibrate only profile, it will only vibrate for calls and not notifications.

I have to admit that I do not know if this should go in Q&A or here... first time posting. So I have been trying to figure this out for the last week. I have researched EVERYWHERE and I am unable to find it.
Last week my E4GT quit vibrating for text messages and emails. I did load a couple applications around the time this started happening so I uninstalled them and this did not help. I noticed that a few others were having this same problem and downloaded an application called Smart Vibrator and this only allows you to get the text messages to vibrate, not the emails. I use K9 Mail for my emails.
Since I know that Sprint Customer Service loves to tell me that it is my phone instead of listening to me, I did a complete reset of the phone (what a pain) and wiped everything. I unrooted, rerooted, everything... Again, nothing. Anyone recommend anything?
Well if anyone is having this problem, I have tried everything. I did find a couple apps that seemed to have worked. Vibrate tools or Force vibration seems to help.
There's a free app called Sound Manager that will let you set the vibration status.
Any luck on this geojam?
What seems strange to me is that you did a "complete wipe and reset", and it still didn't work, but after the fact an app "fixed" it.
I would have said do a complete ODIN reset, and if it still not working, get a replacement because it's hardware...
Btw, welcome to XDA!

Sometime during night silent mode goes on, and it's on when I wake up. Then I have to use the slider to get the phone back on normal state. Quite annoying. Slider was in normal mode all the night. Anyone else? How to stop that behavior?
This happened to me too. Did you have Do Not Disturb settings set on your prior device and then restore the back up to your OP3? I have read that this is the cause of the problem - the old setting transfers over and there is no way to change them. I went into the global setting for app notifications and reset all apps. This worked for others and appears to have worked for me as well.
Having the same issue here.

Yes, actually I had it on on my OPO and I transferred apps from it to the OP3 using the installation wizard's nfc method. I did the reset, let's see if it did help..
I tested resetting notifications, did not help
Me too. Migrated from my old phone using the NFC transfer wizard. Old phone was setup to go to silent 10pm - 7am. It appears the setting is transferred over but at 7am the OP3 doesn't exit silent mode. I then have to toggle the switch to take the phone out of silent but still seem to have issues with notifications sounds afterwards.
I solved it by installing new custom rom and I didn't use restore function this time..
i too am having this issue. i attempted resetting all apps settings but that didn't work.
has anyone figured out how to fix this without factory reset or installing a custom rom?
Add me to the list and I set it up as a new device. Only had the phone a day before I applied the 3.2.0 update so I can't say if was happening before. Hope there is a fix for this soon.
IMO this is because Google is syncing the DND preferences from your Google account, regardless of whether you used the the whole "set up nearby device" thing
I have this issue except Silent mode automatically turns on throughout the day for me. I have factory reset my device and setup the device as new and the issue continues. Now I'm really unsure how to fix this.
Same issue and updating to 3.2.1 didn't fix it.
I've the same issue!
I've noticed that the sound (also from the notifications) can be turned on again (for that day) by switching off, and on the Alert Slider, and then adjusting the volume-sliders in settings.
I don't think it's a Google issue as I have 4 different phones on my account in the last month and none have done this. Just ordered another 6P while they were 20% off in warehouse deals so I'll swap over to this phone Monday and see if the issue follows. For now I'm playing with Tasker to reset all the volumes at 7am.
I've got the same issue. But I did not transfer any settings to my op3.
There's nothing in my "do not disturb" menu, and nowhere to set up automatic silent mode, as far as I can see.
Same issue faced, no solution or fix found up till now.
Me too facing the same problem.. Even in day time it goes automatically to silent mode. So incoming calls doesn't sound and it solves only when I restart the phone.. And after sometime the problem is occurring again and again.. Does anyone found the solution?
I had the same problem in my opo too..
Same here. Since the 3.2.1 update my OP3 sets to Silent overnight. Some has said it's True Caller Spam Blocker, but as I don't have this it's not a solution for me. Tried the usual reset but no luck. Really need a fix for this as I need to get important calls/texts overnight. Not a hardware problem that I can see as fine before update; broken afterwards, and the physical switch works very well.
Also, I've not used any restore function whist setting up.
It would be useful if people experiencing this problem could mention it on the OP support forum. I'm using the threads...

yes - please do and add @oneplus to your answer to adresse OP team directly. Thanks.
This is related to OOS only, i installed custom rom CM based nd didn't face this issue. Then installed.OOS no restore setup as new device still same issue with no ringtone.
The fix should come from Oneplus
So this is driving me nuts. I just picked up an S7 Active, and restored my data from Samsung Cloud. Everything restored fine except for Settings. That part fails every time. No big deal, I thought. I just set it up again how I like it. As soon as I got everything how I wanted it, Do Not Disturb immediately started acting super-weird. It turns on by itself, and it takes 2-3 times of turning it off to get it to stay off. When I finally get it off, it resets the settings (stays custom, but turns off all alarms, calls, and messages). I want it to allow alarms and calls/messages from favorites, and as soon as I enable those, it automatically turns Do Not Disturb back on. Turning it off again starts the whole loop over. Clearly, my Do Not Disturb settings are corrupt. Is there a way to wipe those settings, without wiping the phone and starting fresh?
Not a super helpful response, sorry in advance, but i think you may have answered your own question. Sounds like something got corupt in the copy over.
With out manually looking at all of the settings and or alot of trial and error... you may just have to reset it and start fresh...
But when you say wiping the phone, i just want to confirm that your intentions arnt to go factory reset... just do a "reset settings" and "reset network settings" dont wipe your whole phone.

Yes, factory reset, or worst case, ODIN flash the firmware. I just wanted to see if it was something anyone else had run into. I'll tackle this over the weekend. Thanks for the response!
bug
I had turned facebook and gmail to silent notifications. DND has not turned on and media volume has not turned to zero since allowing these apps to show with sound again.
Think every time a notification comes in media volume is set to 0 and DND turned on.
