Trying to figure out, after many years of Android, what the SYNC toggle in Android turn on/off.
I thought this woulkd turn on/off ALL push notifications, but it seems instead that it does so only for google ones (gmail. exchange, calendar, tasks, play stores) while facebook and whatsapp are totally ignored.
I am finding the best way when at home to switch off all notifications besides whatsapp actually, without going into each one of them: is tehre any?
I dont use whatsapp, but my Facebook acts same as yours.. If I don't want notifications I have to manually go in the app and turn them off. I think the sync toggle is for Google services, possibly everything set up in "accounts". The Facebook sync in accounts is for contacts, that is why it does not stop notifications.

well at least now I know it's not only me...
yeah it's a little annoying that Android does not have a sigle notificstion register point where all apps (even those not using google srvices) can register for push notifications, so that it'd be easy to toggle on/off what you want, insteda of going into each app's settings
I thought that tasker could help, but no it cannot...
I have a tablet at home, and don't want to receive double notifications

Put your tablet in silent and just respond when your phone notifies you?

Dark ParanoidAndroid by Daxmax has a "Do not Disturb" toggle. Sounds like that's what you're looking for unless you are on stock maybe? Bottom right toggle
Sorry in advance if this does not help you...

I flashed the mrom aosp jelly bean And my phone no longer vibrates for texts and emails when on vibrate mode, only phone calls. Anyone know how to fix it or what settings I need to look up?
Thanks

I just tested and I get vibration for SMS, I am using Handcent though, not sure if it makes a difference.

Go into the messaging app settings and change the vibration from "never" to "always"
on the email, the gmail app should automatically have the notification, but try going into the settings for that. see what you find.

go into gmail app settings click on your email and it'll bring up the settings for notifications, same with messaging its in settings. I was going crazy over the same thing as soon as i switched over until I'd read that JB changed how notifications act so now every app has to be coded to vibrate on its own as opposed to having a system wide setting.

well I like it better this way since in theory it lets you have more control over the vibrate notifications of a lot of apps. The only issue is that a lot of the apps have yet to be optimized for JB.

The messaging app provides these three options for when to vibrate:
- Always
- Only when silent
- Never
Are there any apps or hacks that could enable the following behavior?
- If I set the phone to vibrate (using side buttons), the phone vibrates when I get a text message.
- If I set the phone to silent, the phone doesn't vibrate when I get a text message.
The only two situations I care about are Silent and Vibrate. I never ever use a regular ringer.
I hate hate hate hate this so much. It drains my battery since i receive a lot of text.
Any way to disable this without turning off notification all together or using a 3rd party app?
Go into messaging setting and uncheck where it said "show a preview of the message in the status bar"..

That is unchecked.

Notifications and Spam settings.
I am going to try unchecking spam settings. Now i gotta wait to receive a text.

damn no luck. Was at a bar last night drinking and text myself from and to a S3.
Screen turns on everytime.
On another note that i may make a thread to ask if i can't get an answer. When you compose a email in the email client. Does the font increase? Is there a way to decrease it?

You can only turn off the screen wakeup if you use a SMS app like handcent or gosms pro. Not the ideal solution but it works. I hate using apps that duplicate functionality I already have, but had to in this case.
I don´t know why but when I set my GS3 for Vibrate the phone vibrates when I get a call but it doesn´t vibrate when I get an email on my gmail account, it doesn´t vibrate when the google calendar reminder goes off, it doens´t vibrate if I set the phone to sound plus vibrate (I cannot recall if it vibrates when I get a text msg). So I was wondering if there is an app for this...
Seriously? Nothing? I would think this one would be a piece of cake.
For your Gmail you need to set it up through the app.

When I go to settings on the app there is nothing there that allows me to choose vibration as the notification type.

Are Facebook posts not showing up on wear yet. Wear only shows me that I have a new post/notification but I can't actually see what it is without opening the app on the phone.
Facebook needs to add wear support

I get notifications on my watch, just can't read the actual post. Also, I've noticed FB notifications are the only ones that don't vibrate for me.

Do you have "Vibrate" turned on for your phone in the Facebook App Settings?
I get vibrate notifications on my watch, but I also have vibrate turned on in the App settings. Maybe toggle that and see if that fixes it.
However, like the OP, I only get who sent the Facebook Post, not the text of the update. This is a Facebook limitation, not a Wear limitation. They have to add the support.
A company a big and supposedly "forward thinking" a Facebook would have had these features from the beginning

It looks like I didn't have it set to vibrate in the app itself. I thought that any notification sent to the watch would cause it to vibrate. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a hindrance yet, to be honest. I do like the option of having some notifications on the watch without vibration, but I'm not sure if the best place for that option to be is in the settings for each individual app. Can be a bit cumbersome to work out, but I should only be setting it up once, in theory.
I have a smartwatch and my beautiful phone has also a notification LED. Considering this, I do not want to use the lock-screen notifications at all.
Therefore, I turned OFF the lock screen notifications from the "sounds and notifications" settings menu but even now, in case of a notification or event, the screen will turn ON briefly. If the phone is in my pocket during that time and I have a trusted device nearby (my smartwatch) then the phone will unlock by randomly swiping the screen with my leg (large shorts ).
For the past few days I pulled out the phone in different languages, or with the tethering hotspot active or other randomly activated settings.
So, the 1000 points question is: how the heck can I force the 10 to not turn on the screen on notifications? I have no root and I do not intend to install one (company policy). Is there any solution? Thx.
Interesting. My screen never wakes up to show me a notification, so I'm wondering if it's app specific? I know with Textra, there's a setting to wake the screen for each text message, but I have that turned off.
It's definitely an app you're using that's turning on the screen.

Thank you guys. It was indeed app specific. After you posted this I started looking in all the settings from all the apps with notifications access. The guilty one was Nils. There was a small switch to turn on the screen, indeed.
Thanks again.
