I just installed CM 10.1, have been on 4.1.2 before this.
I can't find the right settings for a sound mode where gmail notificiations will only play a sound and not vibrate.
I have disabled vibration in the options in Gmail, but the Gmail notifications are still vibrating. I have also tried the various sound modes available in CM. This is a deal killer for me because my phone will be vibrating all day long annoying the hell out of me. Putting it in silent and also losing the sound notification is not an option.
This seems to be an issue others have pointed out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785800&page=3
Is there a fix/workaround?
Found the issue...it was profiles. I have to go into the Application Groups in the Profiles menu and change all the application options to not override for ring, vibrate, and light.
Awesome post!! Thanks so much for bringing this up....
as a new user I did not know how profiles override system settings in the setting menu. ESPECIALLY vibrate and notifications!!!
Thanks

I've had this happen on RC2 as well...
After I've put the volume all the way down (vibrate only mode) and then turned the volume back up, none of my notification sounds will play. When I get sms/email the vibrate will go off but not the tone. I've checked Handcent and GMail settings and they both have a tone selected. However, once I get a txt/email, only vibrate no sound. My call ringtones, volume up/down, apps, music..etc works, but no notification.
Anyone help?
Grab Audio Guru from the market. It lists out all the system sound modes and lets you control all six of them individually. I had this happen once and found one of my sound controls set to zero. Used the slider in Audio Guru to increase it to max, problem solved.
I'm looking for an app to change the sound profiles that works with ICS and the GN from Sprint. I previously used "Profile" by noimjosh but that doesn't seem to toggle the vibrate mode anymore. In fact none of the sound/vibrate apps seem to toggle my vibrate mode anymore. Just wondering if anybody can recommend something that has a multi widget to select vibrate etc? I know I can hold the power button and toggle vibrate etc, but i was looking for something more customizeable, IE vibrate, quiet, silent, loud, etc,
I can't seem to find anything that will actually toggle the vibrate on 4.0.4 so any help would be appreciated.
Hi guys, I am on stock firmware and love the phone - except from the vibration, that is simply too hard and loud for my taste. I have disabled the touch vibration, I have disabled vibration for calls and I also disabled it in various apps like WhatsApp. But I cannot seem to get a hold of the vibration for standard notifications from apps without their own notification settings. A friend of mine has the same phone without notification vibration and he does not remember any specific setting he could have disabled and I cannot find any myself. Am I experiencing a bug or does anybody have an idea?
I just installed Fulmics 6.1 onto Lg G3 D855/16GB.
All working nice except I lost notification sounds in Next SMS.
I don't get any sound when new ones arrives, if don't catch the screen that lights up for the sneak preview of SMS I miss the new SMS.
I tried to set the sound in both handcent > settings > notification as well as in Android settings > sound and notifications.
I am not in silent mode, yet notifications are still not playing sounds.
Any ideas?
To clarify things, I am not expecting this to be Fulmics causing this. More that now that I got both android 6 and fulmics 6.1 at the same time the GUI changed a lot and there might be other ways to adjust notification sound then what I have found.
I've tried all the settings I can think of.
I started out with Android settings, making sure notification sound was enabled.
Then I chose to set special sound for apps, and chose next sms.
To be certain I changed to the sound to a mp3 file in my download folder.
Still no sound.
Went into next sms > settings > All > Notification & Reminder > Notification settings > Notification Sound
Here I can see the sound has changed to myfile.mp3
Still no notification sounds.
Browse and google for answers and find a page telling me to reverse all things in sounds and notifications to NO SOUNDS. Well I tried, I even tried to follow the program and reboot for each change I made. After several reboots I eventually got to the part where I again chose to turn on notification sounds, and did the final reboot. Puh. STILL NO SOUND when I receive sms/txt.
I've almost pulled all my hair from my head in pure frustration, I can't walk around missing txt's because my stupid phone suddenly don't give me notifications. Try to tell that to your boss, no you see my phone don't give me audio notifications when you text me. Sure my boss wont buy into that.
Pls help.
I jumped directly from Kitkat (Cyanogen OS which my old phone had and which I never updated as it was very buggy update to Lollipop and I wanted for MM which never came) to Nougat when I bought the Z2 Play. It's mostly a positive change except for the notification settings. I know it's been discussed at length how Google messed up the notification settings on Lollipop and the trend has continued in Nougat too.
So now to my issue with it. I have currently set ringtones at full volume and Notifications on silent by selecting default notification ringtone as "None" as I don't want to hear a chime on every notification that comes through as most of my notifications are News feeds. Whenever l recieve a notification my phone vibrates so I assume there's no setting to customize Silent/Vibrate by default for all notifications and also individual app unless the app itself has implemented it in its settings like Textra and merely selecting no notification ringtone sets it to vibrate unless I go to individual app settings and set on the toggle "Show Silently". It is quite convoluted really.
Now what I want to achieve with the way my phone acts on notifications is something like this:
I want the to set a default notification ringtone and I want to set some notifications to vibrate and some to silent which I simply cannot do unless the app provides its own settings of silent/vibrate.
I want the Reminders and Events set in the Google and Calendar app to have a notification ringtone even when in default settings I have set notification ringtone to "None" but they rely on default notification settings. Some apps like Textra provide their own so is it really hard for Google's own app to do the same. This way I can set a different ringtone too than the default one. So I would like to know of a way to do so. Maybe the Motorola profile Settings can be used for this? That is why I am posting this here also.
And honestly why aren't Reminders relying on Alarm sound i.e. if alarms are allowed to make a sound Reminders should too. It is really frustrating. I missed a reminder like this today because I wasn't aware of the convoluted way Nougat handles all this.
Kitkat had the best implementation. It had a separate slider for notification sounds too.(Cyanogen OS had one).
What I think is a better implementation is allowing to set a default ringtone in Sounds settings and then in individual app's notification settings separating the vibrate part from the "Show Silently" option. This would allow me to achieve my goal of having a ringtone for some apps, vibrate for some and silent for some. And it would solve my problem of having a sound when I have set a reminder in the Google app and have set default notification ringtone to "None".
The best implementation of course would be to set a default silent, vibrate or ringtone for notifications and then have granular control for each app i.e have a list of all apps and allowing to choose from Silent, Vibrate or ringtone for each app which would override the default.
Also why not allow to change the default sound that the volume rockers control. In Google's own YouTube app volume rockers change the notification volume and not the media volume which is again very frustrating.
Sorry for the long post and rant. I really wish Google fixes this but I doubt it.
Many apps have individual notification settings.

True many not all and especially not the Google app and calendar app to which I add reminder and Events. And I cannot set a default notification ringtone as the news feeds apps I use don't have a setting to set them on vibrate. So I am kind of stuck there.

There are other calendar apps and you can silence the Google calendar. I use DigiCal, for the dark theme.
I don't know what kind of apps exist for news feeds, but if you get and android wear watch you can totally silence the phone and select which apps vibrate your wrist.

Thanks for the app suggestion. Does it support adding Reminders through Google Assistant?

If you mean creating new events via voice, yes.
