[Q] Problem with vibrating notifications - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After I updated to 4.2, my notifications won't stop vibrating.
I put it on vibrate mode and went into the apps to turn off vibration, but they still vibrate.
For example I went into gmail to turn off vibrating notifications and it still happens. Also for IM+ I turned it off and it vibrates every time someone sends a chat.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advanced.

I am having a lot of frustration about this too. My msg apps keep vibrating and cannot be turned off.

Same thing for me. Gmail vibrates even if vibration is set to never.

Somebody thinks it is a unlucky, "feature" introduced in 4.2

Just in case you are curious, the last update to 4.2.1 did NOT solve the problem (at least on Galaxy Nexus)

A bit of a late reply, but the issue we're experiencing seems to be caused by this: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/commit/9a7debe5857ffc7c71cfc4082b1b6d72a5cf81cd
Somebody made a commit that forces the device to vibrate, even when you tell it not to, as long as you're in "vibrate" mode. If you want it completely silent, you have to manually turn off the sound it would normally generate as well. Bit of a fail, if you ask me.

[Q] Count battery settings in ascendin

Good evening everyone will. Something strange is happening a while back here. One count of battery settings, the counter is counting in ascending rather than descending order.
Have tried several Roms, installed the Stock Rom and nothing. Everything in it. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, or if any developer knows how to solve the problem.
Thank you everyone who helped me will, and sorry for my english.
anyone?
from the looks of it, it shows that your phone is charging. so thats probably why it shows as ascending
Yeah. That cable that connects it to the wall does that...

I noticed this happening to my phone one night when I didn't have my charger on me. I put it in airplane mode and the battery percentage went up. I assumed it was because a change in temperature.

No no no, even with it unplugged, the counter continues counting in ascending order.

Your screenshot clearly shows it charging.

Touch sounds keep coming back!?!

Does anyone know how to keep this off? It keeps coming back on, I believe when i go from silent to volume again with the volume rocker. I'm not rooted and don't want to be.

Not sure being rooted or not has anything to do with it. Mine has done this once (rooted) and not sure why yet. After disabling it hasn't come back and done it yet.
When in sound settings screen does the option recheck itself when you toggle the volume rocker?
Also, how long has it been since you rebooted the device? Might try unchecking and then rebooting and see what happens. Just a thought.
Just stating the rooting thing in case someone had some funky way to fix it that required rooting. And yes the option re-checks itself every time.

Might read through this thread if you haven't seen it already: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-iii/204714-touch-sounds-turning-back-itself.html
So from that thread it seems there are 2 possible causes for this glitch:
-switching camera modes (unrooted)
-turning off camera snapshot noise (rooted)
I'm not rooted and have no option for turning off the snapshot noise, so i toggled my camera from vid to pic and it did immediately re-check the touch sound option but only the first time. For several tries after it didn't do it, only the first. I did change my camera mode earlier which if it is the cause of this glitch then that kind of proves it. I will be mindful of it if I change camera modes for verification, but It seems weird to me the camera is tied to the touch sound option.
I can confirm that the camera will cause this to happen when you switch between still to video mode. I know that I have seen (heard) it happen under other circumstances as well but I have not been able to pin it down.
I do not know of a solution for the unrooted phone. I am rooted so I went in and replaced the sound files with a silent file to permanently disable the sounds.

phone turns volume on (on its own)

title says it all. the phone is on sound profile: vibrate then it randomly vibrates then the sound profile becomes sound. i dont even touch it it just vibrates for half a sec and its changes the profile
idk what to do
Please tell us some more information about your phone. For example:
Which touchwiz or custom software are you running?
What network provider are you on?
Are you rooted?
Have you dropped the phone recently?
How long has this been going on?

It could be an app. I recommend you delete a few apps, test, and repeat and then report back to see which app. If you have some questionable apps, list just the names here and maybe I could point out a few that could be the issue.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Auto-Answers phone call

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S3 and was wondering if anyone else has had a run in with this problem. My Galaxy S3 seems to auto answer phone calls when there is background noise. It has happened while at a restaurant, while in the car with music on, and from hearing a lawn blower outside.
I've searched and couldn't find any help or any fixes. I do not have S voice enabled at all, no motion shortcuts enabled, Home button not checked to answer phone calls, no bluetooth headset setting for auto answer, etc. I've tried factory resetting phone but that didn't fix it. I was able to get phone replaced within first 2 weeks for another one but exact same thing happened.
Anyone else ever hear about anyone experiencing this issue? It seems I can't find any thread other than one from googling about it for T-Mobile specifically.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you
I guess you have enable voice command from which you can answer and reject calls. Search in setting of ur phone.

Can you reproduce this problem yourself or is it completely random?
I'm assuming your running stock unrooted

Go to svoice settings click on control apps and another menu should show up make sure incoming calls is Unchecked... Most likely this is the problem.. I know you said svoice isn't enabled but at least check it out.. I was having this same problem..

Yeah, I never even had the S Voice activated on the first one. When I got my replacement I immediately tried that and turned S Voice on so I could uncheck everything. It would randomly happen when there is background noise. No one else I know with the SG3 is having this issue and I've had it on two phones.
I don't have any apps installed (don't even have a gmail account on either of the phones) and it is completely stock and updated to latest firmware.

Do Not Disturb Mode Malfunction

Hey all! Anyone have an issue after hanging up from a call where the DND mode literally glitches on and off on and off.... Several times a second...
The icon just repeatedly flashes in my notification bar. Either rebooting the device or using my Asus Zen Watch 2 to turn DND off will cut it out. Anyone else see this type of issue?
Its been reset several times. Also now running Pure Nexus. It occurs on both stock and custom rom.
I know the "Server Unavailable" error when placing a call or answering is a known issue on these devices. This one tho I have not seen anything about it.
Thanks for any help guys!
same issue
Im having the same issue but im running a Nexus 6P 7.1.1 Dec Update and an ASUS Zenwatch 3

Have you noticed any difference while leaving the watch disconnected or powered off?
I didn't have the DND flashing on and off, but it would go into DND mode after almost every call. Someone suggested deleting the three default DND profiles in settings and that fixed it for me.
I have the same issue where the phone goes into DND mode after a call, thought it was just me.

Funny you say that! Last night I realized those profiles were there and deleted them. Will see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the help guys!
Glad were not the only ones seeing this.
if you hold down the volume button by accident it will turn on alarm only mode but turn it off by doing this I posted it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-off-disturb-section-using-volume-t3598695
