I get no notifications on my fire phone. All of the notifications are turned on in the settings but nothing comes through. Is there something I can do to change this?
Are you sure that all of the notifications are turned on?
I noticed that it's very easy to turn them off without knowing (I did that many times by accident).
To really make sure that they are turned go, go to Settings > Sounds & Notifications.
Hope it helps!

Just downloaded Handcent and the settings that I want on it are not saving. For example I want vibrate only when phone is in vibrate mode. That is not working at all. I also disabled notifications in the notification bar and I'm still getting them. Don't know if being on a custom rom (omj) would affect any of this. Pretty annoying though and was wanting to know if anyone else is having this sort of problem. I also rebooted the phone and no dice still.
I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?
Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.
hey guys i got a question... to see if this happens to your s4 ... when i pick it up and its lock it vibrates on the bottom..and its not because of notifications ..its weird...anyone else having this issue or other issues?
Mine does this too... no idea why but I was wondering as well.
That would certainly be annoying. Have you guys checked to see if turning off Motion in settings helps?
It's 'Smart alert', part of the motion settings. It vibrates quickly when you pick it up if you have a notification.
Settings > My Device > Motion > Smart alert
Once you're used to it it's kinda nice.
what they said - its like the notification led - just a quick jolt to let you know there are things you havent seen - there is an option to activate/deactivate in the settings pages.
Two weeks ago, toggling the silent mode settings between Silent, sound only, vibrate only, and sound-vibe controlled the ringer and all the notifications. So, any app that generated a notification would follow this setting. You know, like every phone every made since their advent.
My phone just came back from samsung (screen repair) with MD4 everything. I also put MOAR on it. Now, that toggle no longer controls the notification vibration. The only way to set vibration for notification is go into the individual application settings. This is ridiculousness. I thought I could make a workaround with tasker, but "Vibrate on notify" is also no longer available.
Can anyone verify this is the way it is? Or is something wrong with mine?

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm on AOSP rom but try this.
Under Settings/Sound - select volumes, you should get a popup for volume settings. There should be an option for "Link Ringtone & Notification Volumes". Select that and notifications should follow the same rule as phone ring tone. Hope it works for you.
Bumping this. Does anyone have a solution to this complete epic failure of engineering by either google or samsung? It's absolutely absurd that if I want to cycle vibrate on and off, I have to go into 5 different apps, dig through menus of each app, and change each app's individual notification settings.
After you received the Device back from Samsung, did you happen to notice if the Toggle worked correctly ? I'm currently on MOAR, and everything works as it should. Did you do a Clean install of MOAR ? Meaning a Full Wipe System - Data - Dalvik Cache -Cache - Factory Reset ? Did you verify the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ?

When I sent the phone away, it had MOAR 4 and whatever was prior to MD4.
When I got the phone back, it came with MD4. I clean flashed MOAR 4. Not more vibe on notify. I didn't check that before I flashed, but presumably that feature went away with MD4.
Clean flashing to MOAR 5 still lacks that feature.
So this leads me to believe it is an MD4 "feature".
Ok so I think I understand you a bit better now. You are not saying that the Toggle is broken, you are saying that when you use the Toggle certain apps do not respond accordingly. Have you tried : Menu - Settings - Sound - Ringtones and notifications. Make sure that Vibrate and ringing is checked.
No no. The problem is that THERE IS NO TOGGLE. The toggle for selecting notification vibrate no longer exists. It isn't there. Taken away. No option, no selection, no checkbox, no nothing. And tasker shows it as not available so I can't work around it either.
Look at these two screenshots. There is nothing to set notification vibrate, and there there is nothing to link notification settings up with ringer settings. All gone. The Vibrate when ringing checkbox controls only the phone call vibrate and has no effect on notifications.
The only way to control whether you get a vibrate for notification, is to go into each application and manually turn it's vibrate option on. That application will then vibrate at all times. If I set the phone for silent, that app's notifications will still vibrate. If I set the phone for sound only, that app still vibrates. If I have the app's vibe turned off, and I set the phone for vibrate, I will never receive any notification since there is no vibrate for notification.
Make sense now?
Did you try changing it in Vibration Intensity ?

Sure I could go into vibration intensity and lower it down to zero. But that is not a toggle. There is no way to adjust that without going through all the menus and changing the slider. It will not change itself when I put the phone into vibrate. It will not change itself when I put the phone into sound & vibe. It isn't solving anything. The problem is the removal of the toggle.
You can try THIS , or maybe the one HERE.

Those just do the same exact thing the phone already does. Toggle the RINGER. Nothing to do with notifications.
I've been asking around about this too. It's really annoying having to change the notification settings in each app every time. Someone suggested a Tasker profile to change the vibrate settings in specified apps but I haven't figured out how to do it.
I have an Asus Zenwatch (1st generation) running Android OS 5.1.1 and Android Wear 1.3.0.2160025 and I have it connected to my Google Nexus 6P. I assume this is the latest version available for the Zenwatch as when I try and update the software it advises me I am up to date.
One of the great things I love about Android Wear and the Zenwatch is the ability for me to pull down the notifications menu and change from no notifications, to priority notifications, to all notifications.
I normally keep notifications set at no most of the time and change it to priority when I'm out with friends etc. However, notifications do not stay on the setting I define.
Every day I set notifications to no and then I will hear it vibrating when I get a new whatsapp notification and when I check the watch notifications are set to all; despite the fact I never changed anything.
Has anyone else experienced this?
My first thought was that my clothes were touching the screen and pulling the menu down, however I have tried moving my wrist around in many different ways and my clothes never change the screen at all. Which leads me to believe it's software related.
I think the setting is tied into the quiet or priority mode settings on the phone. That is, if you set priority mode on the watch, it also sets it on the phone, and vice versa. Would that explain the behavior you're seeing? You set priority mode on the watch, and later un-set it on the phone (and thus on the watch, too)?

Thanks for the response CSX.
I changes the notification settings on the watch but nothing changed on the phone and vice versa.
I had been charging it there and it was set to no and when I checked it again it was set to all. So it is definitely a software or settings issue as its changing on its own afford when the phone is stationary.
Has anyone found a solution to this? It's very annoying and discouraging me from ever wearing it. I want notifications off the majority of the time, but whatever I do, they remain active.
Change default settings or watch setting to do not disturb.........

I have done that. That is the problem. I change it to do not disturb and a few minutes later it vibrates because of a new notification and it has changed back to all notifications. It does this all the time, even when the phone is idle on my computer desk.
