I've been reading a bit into this and it seems a few people are having issues with the way Jelly Bean handles notifications and vibration.
With ICS, my phone only vibrated when it was in VIBRATE from the drop down menu (imagine!). If I had it set to SOUND, sounds would play whenever the phone rang/beeped/clicked/messaged/emailed/facebooked, but would NOT vibrate.
If I wanted the phone to sound AND vibrate I would check that box under Settings>Sound>Ringtone and Notifications.
Now with Jelly Bean, my phone plays sound AND vibrates (even if this is unchecked in Settings>Sound). I can disable this by unchecking "also Vibrate when notified" under Messaging>Menu>Settings>Notification Settings, but if I do the phone won't vibrate for ANY text notifications, even when the phone is in VIBRATE.
This is driving me crazy. I only want the phone to vibrate if I can't hear it.
Has anyone else run into this and/or figured out a work around? I feel like these are all a bunch of toggle switches and the right combination of them will allow me make the phone operate how I want it to. :\

No one has experienced any issues with the notification system overhaul, eh?

I've noticed something odd - after an unknown/random amount of time of using my phone, when I cycle through the Vibrate/Mute/Sound on settings (in the notification window), the phone will vibrate when it gets set to Sound. Previously it would only ever vibrate when it's set to Vibrate. If I reboot the phone this issue goes away. I'm wondering if some app that I had opened has a notification setting where it always vibrates, even when the sound is on.
I have this issue. Not annoying enough yet to look for a fix though. I hipe I dont get a bunch of texts tonight haha

This could be patched with a hotfix I'm sure. Smaller things have been!

I am wanting an app, that can customise teh colour of the LED for different notifications as well as turn them off when im asleep. I have seen an app called lightflow, is this the best app for the job?
I use lightflow and for me its perfect!
Nice
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
LightFlow is the best app ever!
You can set led color, frequency, speed, vibration and many more for every apps, for all notifications you need.
Buy PRO version because FREE version don't allow you to use LightFlow for every app, but it works only with a little number of apps...
Does anyone get the issue when using lightflow where the phone speaks to you??. Even if you disable all notifications on the accessibility screen, you still get the voice speaking.
Theres a big thread over on the lightflow devs website...seems like its a bug with ICS.
SAdly i bought it but have uninstalled it as it wont work unless you turn your sound off and personally i dont like my phone talking to me lol.

Unfortunately I was having problems with lightflow; sometimes the LED notification was not stopping regardless of what I did, until a reboot. The talk back thing I got rid of by not having accessibility checked within the phone settings. Sometimes the LED want activating either.
Most promising looking app though.

I also bought the pro. But I get the same issues with the led not stopping blinking. If I swipe a notification to get rid of it and don't actually view it the led just keeps on flashing. I think you press the clear button it works, but as a whole there needs to be some improvements in this app before I use it, all I really wanted was to turn off the led at night! It wakes me up.

Yeah, pressing clear, or entering the app and viewing the message doesn't clear the led for me. The only thing that works is rebooting. But I'm going back to handcent for my messaging and since the pro version supports it I've purchased it too. I just love having the led's for at work, where I sometimes can't hear my phone, but they have to be off at night. I can't believe that a little flashing light can be so annoying at night!

At night you can enable the "sleep setting" under settings, than it wont blink.
Go to Notifications/*AppName*/Clear notification style and select "Screen on", than it will stop blinking after you turned on the screen.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand me
Sigh, for some reason this app doesn't work on my SGH-I747. I mean it does work but it doesn't show up the right colors that I've set up. For example: I choose the missed calls' color as red, but it shows up as blue and the rest are messed up too. Does anyone have the same problem?
The talking phone is very annoying, and i also experience the big orange square when you click on browser that mess my surfing xperience. I hope im not the only one

Has anyone else noticed volume settings are even worse then they were for ICS? Not only are ringer + notification volumes still linked, Google even linked the system volume to them now as well. And more annoying: how on earth does one disable vibrate for notifications? The only setting to control vibrate I seem to have is "vibrate when ringing" in the sound menu. Unchecking this one does nothing for notifications.
I use Audiomanager Pro for my sound profiles, and the vibrate options you can set for each profile have no effect. The only way to disable vibrate seems to be to enable silent mode. But I don't want that, when I'm at home my GNEX lies on my desk in the room and I simply do not want it to vibrate for ringer & notifications.
Or am I somehow overlooking something really obvious here?
It is a pain in the a$$ but I found a pretty cool solution. Might not be what you were looking for but "easy profiles" in the market will let you unlink all those. It has a 2 week full trial. You can even reinstall the trial again if you want. Plus it allows all kinds of triggers and rules etc. Almost like tasker ... except for notifications.

So, if you're looking to control the vibrations for each app, any application that supports notifications should have a setting inside it with semi-fine-grain controls for notifications. These controls will generally allow you to specify whether you want a sound or vibration notification, and when to initiate them. For example, in Gmail->settings->[your email]->vibrate & ringtone there is a setting called "vibrate" in which you can specify if you would always like a vibration, only while in silent mode, or never. Hopefully this answers your question.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't I'm afraid. I know you can control notification settings per app, but doing so for 10+ apps every time I want to temporarily disable notification vibrate sort of defeats the purpose. What I want is a Gingerbread like setting for vibrate for notifications: one setting to disable/enable vibrate for notifications that overrides individual app settings.
I'm beginning to think Google simply does not want to allow such settings any more, but I'm surprised not more users are annoyed by this. Linking volumes was a bad call, but removing control regarding vibrate settings is an even worse one imho.

I just updated my Nexus S to Jelly Bean and was very sad to discover this problem. Previously, I could use Audio Manager Pro to control whether notifications vibrated or not (both with volume on and off). Now, Audio Manager Pro's vibration settings seem to do nothing. I have to go into the individual app's notification settings to choose whether it vibrates or not. As you said, with multiple apps, this is unacceptable.
I emailed the Audio Manager dev to point this flaw out. I'm not sure if it is an unfixable Jelly Bean deficiency or if the Audio Manager app just needs to be updated. But I surely hope it is the latter and not the former.
I have to hand it to RIM... one thing they had right was notifications profiles built into the OS that were vastly superior to anything I've seen on Android or iOS. And the notification LED. It still blows my mind that more Android devices don't have a bright, visible notification LED.

Yes I totally agree regarding the profiles you can set on BlackBerry devices. I also emailed the dev of audiomanager, hopefully the jelly bean API still allows more control over vibrate than the Android settings menu suggests.

AUGH I just clued into this tonight after weeks on JB. I can't find any way to globally disable all vibrations at night. What the hell was Google thinking? Now I might have to put the damn thing on airplane mode just to get some freaking sleep.
Yeah it looks like we need need to live with this or flash a ROM that has modified sound/vibration settings to a normally usable level (read: the Gingerbread implementation).

For now, my compromise is to set Tasker to disable account sync when the phone is both face down and plugged in. Since Gmail is the most common source of vibration, it should do the trick. In the morning when I flipped it over and woke it, my e-mails came in about 5 seconds.

Wtf was Google thinking? First linking ringer and notification volumes. Now making it near impossible to control vibration globally with a profiles app.
Google is really moving backwards in this area and I can think of no reasonable explanation as to why.

Exactly. It's a mystery what problem the Google devs think they needed to fix. Gingerbread handled volumes and vibration just fine. Don't fix what isn't broken.

They were asked about this at Google I/O, supposedly it was too confusing for some users. They basically avoided a response when it was brought up how it is now impossible to set, for example, navigation and music to both have comfortable volumes at the same time. It's like they know it sucks but they still won't fix it, it kind of pissed me off when I was watching it.

Would it be possible for a custom ROM, say AOKP or CM10, to revert the vibration and volume behaviours back to being more like they were in GB?

Oh I somehow missed that. Bad argumentation imho. If you can understand how 3 volume sliders (ICS/JB) work, you don't suddenly get confused if there are 5 sliders (GB). All this does is annoy people who want to control individual volumes. Restricting them by linking is *not* a usability improvement because it's less confusing.
"Three sliders? Ok, I got it". "Five sliders? ZOMG I'm confused!"
Google should have made it at least possible to unlink in 'advanced settings' or something. Heck I'd be happy to edit a bulky.config file if that would unlink.

AOKP and CM have the volumes unlinked, according to the specs and users on XDA. I'm guessing it's also possible to get the 'old' vibration behavior back as well. However I'm very happy with vanilla android, and flashing a custom rom just to get this one issue fixed always seemed overkill to me. But as soon as CM10 gets in a more stable state, I just might flash it.
turn off vibrate alerts in Jellybean - I fixed it
dunno how I missed something so simple but I service provider was able to help me fix the problem of the vibrate settings being on for all alerts and ringtones. for the ringtone, its in advanced settings and you can uncheck vibrate there. for the other apps, you have to go into the settings via the app not via the phone settings>apps and do it for each app, so for example, I use go chat for text messages, so I had to go into the app itself and then go to its settings and then turn off vibrate, same for email and facebook. and it worked, its fixed.
Yeah but that's still useless for those of us who just want to toggle all vibration at once, especially with an automated program like Tasker.

Have you tried Sound Manager from the market? It allows you to set vibrate for all notifications via the advanced menu.
I have to be honest that I only tried this in cm10 and in stock ics. I expect it to work in stock jb too.

No it does not work in stock JB. CM10 must have put back what Google got rid of. There is no more global vibrate toggle in stock JB.
I'm a little late on this one...
- slide down the "notification bar" from the top
- 3rd icon from the left ("speaker")
- this button has three states (ringtone / no ringtone + vibration / no ringtone + no vibration)

Hey folks Ive tried everything with this phone but just can't get it to vibrate and I really can't recall it ever vibrating. I've seen in other forums that others are having the same problems but there didn't seem to be a solid fix. The phone will not vibrate during calls or notifications of any kind when I have it set to always vibrate or vibrate during silence mode. I've gone to all of my messaging applications as well to select the vibrate function and it still doesn't work. Need help if possible.

My GNex is running 4.2 now, and I've noticed that when the phone is on silent, the phone vibrates when new gmail messages come in. If I check the settings, it specifically says "Never" under vibrate settings.
Has Google changed Gmail's vibrate behavior in 4.2 so that Never actually means Sometimes?
Can anyone confirm?
I hope this gets fixed!

Just a hunch, but I tried it and it worked. If you don't care about not having any notification for gmail (sound or vibrate) then set the notification sound to silent and vibrate never. Unfortunately you won't get sound if you want that, but at least it's not vibrating now.

I want to keep the vibration on for stuff like text messages, just not email. When I'm at work I can read my email on my computer, so I turn my phone to vibrate so that it's not beeping all day long. With 4.2, I've replaced beeping with vibrating. It's very annoying.

I even tried toggling the notifications off and on and toggling between "only on silent" and "Never," but it continues to vibrate. I only want my phone to vibrate for text messages/google voice messages.
There is at least one bug ticket raised for this.

Possible solution
Possible solution, for those of you who usually only run between sound and vibrate mode on your phone. Just go into the gmail settings and toggle the vibrate to "only in silent mode" you won't get a vibrating notification...
That's what I just set mine to do.

This didn't work for me. Always vibrates when in vibrate mode no matter what I have set. Funny enough, when I set the phone to silent mode there is no vibration even when it is set to 'Only in silent mode'.
I just hope this is identified as a bug and wasn't done on purpose. It's going to be an annoying few weeks while I wait for another OTA.
Any update to this? I'm having the same problem with text messages vibrating.
Same issue here. I have a custom 4.2 ROM flashed with this problem. I even tried reverting back to stock and reflashing. That did not solve the problem.
Same problem for me with official 4.2 OTA update, on a yakju galaxy nexus
That's no GMail bug, unfortunately it's a new "feature" introduced in Android 4.2. If you ar looking at the commits in AOSP, you can see it is a new system wide sound-to-vibrate conversion feature.
If you change the phone to vibrate mode, all applications which are playing notification sounds are then vibrating. Genious!
It should be possible to deactivate vibration therefor if you disable the notification sound in the specific app.

Seriously not trying to be a **** here.. but.. "Vibrate mode" .... umm... its supposed to vibrate when android gets a notification UNLESS the vibrate flag is not assigned to the notification via the app.. (usually an option per app)
Now you are saying, in vibrate mode, it still vibrates even though you have the vibrate option turned off in the Gmail app?

Dude, all I am saying is that before on the galaxy s2 only apps that were told to vibrate would vibrate EVER. Didn't matter if it was silent, vibrate or sound mode.

yeah i understand exactly where you are coming from. I have a question, when you adjust the volume using the volume rocker buttons, does your notification volume change too?

I just odin'd back to stock wiped my data and can confirm that there is NO vibration when receiving any notification that has the "vibrate" option unchecked.. Don't know what your issue is. Gotta be a conflicting app. Do you use light flow at all?

Interesting. I had stock and I was sure Gmail was still vibrating when vibration was turned off. Were you in vibration or silent mode? I do not use lightflow, though I was thinking of getting it since this phone seems to have RGB LEDs.

has anyone been able to fix this problem? I still turn off vibration on the settings, yet in vibrate mode it still vibrates..i just want the LED light to show up without vibrate.
I'll bump it again.

I'm not sure what to tell you guys. I flashed stock and tested this and it does not vibrate.. so it's gotta be your ROM or something you guys added or changed.

im on the build number JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL...its the stock that came with the phone. only thing i changed is rooted..but i still cant seem to figure out how to turn vibrate off for notifications in gmail. i already unchecked the vibrate option.
I can back this clame up since I was on 100% stock and it did the same thing.
