I meant when it's in vibrate mode. My Gmail will vibrate even if I tell it not to in the settings. In fact, every notification vibrates when on vibrate mode. This was not the case with my galaxy s2. I hear this is a jb thing.

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. This has changed in the new version of Android and it is plain annoying to me since I told the app not to vibrate so I would like for it to not vibrate. The apps that I told to vibrate I would like to vibrate-- nothing else.

Thats what i was saying in my second part of the post, if you have the Gmail settings open, and under "notifications" you UNCHECK "vibrate" it is still vibrating? Cause it shouldn't. That setting is global for all sound modes.

Yea I unchecked it. It happened on my stock ROM as well as Wicked and DeathStalker. This is the bit of research I did a while ago. I'll have to hunt through that thread to see if it was fixed somewhere.

The only reason I care about this is because I only care about texts or phone calls at work. Emails and FB or whatever are irrelevant to me and thus I don't want to vibrate on my desk or pocket...Just a personal choice, I guess.

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.

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.

[Q] Remove battery full notification

Hi Guys, I am trying to remove the notification for battery full. I charge overnight and when the battery is full it vibrates like an id.ot, waking me up most of the times!
There was a thread but now it`s obsolete... Come on, can it be that there`s no easy fix for this? I even googled, but pointlessly!
Thanks
It's not ideal but I just set the notifications ringtone to silent in the main settings menu and then set proper notifications separately in messaging, gmail, etc.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I would like to know too... That wake me every time. I dont want to put on silent since I want SMS and cakk to wake me.
Thanks all but I wish there was a better solution. Can it be that there`s no hidden flag in the system configuration?
My current solution is to put the phone on a soft thing so it doesn`t wake me up...
Settings > Sounds > Notification sound
Set it to Nothing
Freely translated from Dutch
Oh, and I can set SMS Notification to something else than "Default" (since Default is now "Silence")... pretty nice!
Thanks for the idea HaTeNL!

Any luck with solving this?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Solved:
One just need to additionally deactivate the vibration, either from the settings menu, set it to never vibrate or only when not in silent mode, or with an extra widget like one of the many available in the market.
Enjoy!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i downloaded the app timeriffic from the market and that made two profiles.
one, from 22.00 to 06.00 with no vibration and message sound disabled and the other one from 06.00 to 22.00 with vibration and message sound enabled.
works fine.
That's fine when the phone is on but when's off it stills vibrates.
I scheduled the phone to shutdown every night at 23.00h. Sometimes, I charge at home during the night. Even if the phone is downstairs, I can still hear the notification vibration repeating itself over and over again.
The solution is to put the phone on a non-vibrating surface (usually the same USB cable used for charging the phone)
I used "droidessentials" .. uncheck the "Alert When battery full".
The Apps state it won't work with Samsung devices.
Tonight I will try..

It has to work! The first option in the notification sound thing is "Silent" (translated).
Put it off Silent Mode and then change the notification sound. Must work.
Hey guys, wasn't here on these forums a thread of someone that did an app or mod just to remove the battery full sound??
I have read that once there was it!!!

Nexus won't vibrate!

My shiny new Nexus doesn't seem to want to vibrate, it's set to always vibrate when ringing and the keyboard should be vibrating. Anyone else noticed a problem like this?
Hoping I'm just missing some setting somewhere but it seems like it's probably a hardware fault.
Remember to make sure vibrate on touch is also selected (bottom of the sound option in settings)
Also are you using the stock keyboard?
"Vibrate on touch" is selected and I'm using the stock keyboard.
Does the phone vibrate when you shut it down or when it first turns on from a cold boot? If not maybe your vibrator is pooched.
Nope, no vibrate on boot or shut-down, I guess if it's supposed to be doing that then this one is definitely a dud.
I would say see if it vibrates when you adjust the volume down to vibrate mode, or try an app that lets you test the vibrator. But it sounds like it is a dud.
I have problem with vibration on notifications. I have set vibrate always, but when SMS or email arrives, nothing happend.
But touching bottom buttons does vibrate, even turning of and on or putting phone to silent mode by volume buttons.
That's realy weird.

You have to individually set those apps to vibrate.

anyone find a solution to this? my phone doesnt vibrate when i get email, texts or gtalk. i went in to each app and set them to always vibrate, but still nothing.
I noticed yesterday that if you use your volume buttons to put your phone in silent , there is a setting after vibrate where the speaker icon is crossed out. In that setting nothing vibrates. I was freaking out yesterday until I figured that out

I was having the same problem with notifications. I had the notification level set to vibrate and the messaging app set to vibrate "always" but it wouldn't work when I received messages until I restarted my phone... now it vibrates like it should
I also have this problem. My phone doesn't vibrate when I'm receiving a call, text, or email.
Mine wasn't working either until I selected Vibrate on Touch. Not sure why this was necessary.
I am having the same problem. Phone calls vibrate, also vibrates when shutting down, starting up, turning volume down to vibrate also vibrates, but no notifications (email, text, google voice, etc.) vibrate.
Bumping old thread because I'm having this issue now!
Phone vibrates for everything except notifications. Calls, touches, start up/shut down, everything vibrates. I've checked all requisite settings and it doesn't matter. Worked fine earlier today and it doesn't work now...
Edit: And just like that, it's back again. Several reboots and toggling later. Not sure exactly what did it, but I had downloaded several toggle widgets and toggled all 'round till it worked on a SMS.

Did you ever fix this problem? I just picked up a used Gnex and am seeing the same problem. There's no vibration during boot and shut-down. None of the settings and apps I've tried have been able to make a difference.

[Q] Gmail 4.2 not respecting vibrate setting?

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!

Yes, I have the same issue, for both Gmail and Calendar
It vibrates in ALL notifications. Someone knows how to disable it?

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.
Google, never means NEVER!

I'm having the same issue, and it's very annoying. I want to keep the image in the notification bar, but I don't want it to vibrate - like I had before the 4.2 update. 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.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39592
Star it to get it some attention.
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.

[JB] Notification vibration issues

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. :\
(shameless bump)
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

Vibrates only when silent instead of always.

Everytime I reboot my phone, notifications for certain apps (like WhatsApp) will not vibrate when my phone is not in silent/vibrate mode.
To fix it, I have to open up LightFlow (you can also do this in Sound Manager v2) and set the vibrate setting from "Vibrate only when silent" to "Vibrate on"
I do this every time I reboot my phone. Vibration works fine for ALL apps when in silent/vibrate mode (even for apps that I don't want to have vibrate on in silent/vibrate mode). But only MMS & SMS vibrates properly without needing to do this "fix" everytime I reboot.
I've been having this bug on all AOSP roms since Jellybean first came out. Anyone else having this issue? Is this an AOSP bug? Or could it be something is wrong with my phone? I have done a full wipe several times only to find the issue still persists.
Check in sounds menu, should be an option there, also check individual apps, I know MMS has a vibration setting

I have "Vibrate when ringing" enabled in my sounds menu, I don't really see anything else that has to do with vibrating and notifications. My individual apps are set up properly (the ones I want to vibrate are set to vibrate always, etc) I just have to go into LightFlow and set vibrate to "Vibrate on" rather than "Vibrate only when silent" before it'll vibrate when it's in audible mode like I stated in my OP.. I guess you're not having this issue either? Can you test it out? Specifically it doesn't work with WhatsApp, hmm.. I'm starting to think maybe it's a whatsapp issue, I just tested with Gtalk and it works still. Can anyone confirm?

I have mine set for always vibrate, except during quiet hours, works fine. I don't use what's app so I couldn't tell you. Could also be the ROM you're running or a host of other things. If it's just one app, then it is doing it to itself I'd imagine
