Jelly Bean & vibrate for notifications

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.

Sorry what you're describing has nothing to do with the feature Google removed. This is about the ability to globally disable vibration, independently from sound. None of the options you listed include "sound on, vibrate off".

He still wants to receive the notification on the watch and have it vibrate, just not activate the screen.
This is unfortunately not possible. The amount of control that Google has given us for notifications is absolutely pathetic considering that the entire purpose of this device is to provide notifications.

What's weirder is a lot of android handsets function this way (notification, screen remains off). Why they chose the other way round for the watch, who knows.

I'm bumping this cause I'm curious if anyone's found a work around for this.
I hoped Lollipop would bring this, but apparently it does not (from what I hear). Even if it requires unlocking the thing, installing a custom ROM/build.prop/etc/etc/etc.

Disable tilt to wake the watch.. In the android wear app
The watch will only light up when you touch the screen

New Features Requested

Hey guys.
I just contacted Motorola to request some new features be added to the stock ROM (which in my opinion) would be crucial to increasing the functionality and battery levels of the watch.
Don't know if any Motorola Dev's/Engineers are following this site but just in case, I'd love to have these features asap.
Please add more if there is anything I have missed.
1. Have the ability to turn Vibrate OFF while still receiving notifications on the watch
Why ? Because I have my phone in my pocket constantly, and my phone vibrates when a new notification comes up. I dont need my pocket and my wrist vibrating together.
Also, Increase battery life.
2. Need to have the ability to turn off notifications for certain apps. For Example, I want the watch to vibrate when an SMS or Email comes through, but turned off for Messenger, kik, and everything else.
Also, by having this feature, Im sure a developer could write up a small app to install onto the phone which would tell the watch which notifications to vibrate for, and which to just display on the screen.
And again, this will save battery life by turning the vibrate motor off for (in my case) 90% of the notifications coming through.
3. Have a slider to control the level of vibration or the burst of vibration.
Why ? This adds a level of customization to the watch.
Also, I see people complaining that the watch doesn't vibrate enough while in my case, its vibration time is too long. By having the ability to shortening the vibrate time, you also save battery life (if not by much).
By having all 3 features embedded into the ROM, On the average user, it should increase battery life by almost double (if not more).

Pretty neat ideas. I have one id like to add lol. I want to be able to turn off motion detection for the screen. I had this feature on my galaxy gear and it gave me an day and half EXTRA battery with it turned off. We could get similar battery life (3-4 days with average use,custom rom too) if this was disabled. I had to always press the button to turn the screen on to check the time, but notifications still lit the screen up when they came in. Totally worth an extra 24-36 hours of battery . However i like the idea of being able to tap the screen to wake the moto360.
So basically I want motion detection disabled but leave tap to wake on.

I like this idea because sometimes it's hard getting the watch to light up with motion, so turning off that feature for when it does work would be fine.

In my case, I have the phone vibration turned off and rely on the watch to deliver notifications.
My one and only important feature request is the ability to create my own canned response list.
Of course, official support for 3rd party keyboards would be nice as well.

Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode
I'm not sure if they intend to include Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode in their Lollipop release. Google chose not to include peripheral mode for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, although it is included with the newer Nexus 6 and 9. But for Android Wear, Peripheral Mode would enable a huge number of new and useful apps, that would significantly improve the usefulness of the watch. The simplest one would be a beacon to help you find your watch when you forgot where you left it, but enabling service solicitation would open a whole new world of applications for the watch.

#1 has worked since day one.
I get a notification, my phone remains silent, the watch vibrates. It's in the AW app settings.

according to me, since the watch has a inbuilt mic, a feature can be added that when someone calls, answer from the watch, just speak that you'll call back later & disconnect. this will be helpful if you are driving... no need to pick the phone ...

Good list, I have one more. Allow the setting of alarms for only certain days. For example, I would like to be able to set an alarm at 7 PM that goes off only on weekdays and not weekends, as I use this to let me know when I can get into the car pool lane when I am driving back home from work. That alarm is useless on the weekend, so no need for it to be turned on every day.

sometimes it will vibrate and pop up when i get a text or email.. but then sometimes it doesnt do anything at all.
hardly ever, does it vibrate when i get a fb IM.. but it pops up and the screen lights up.
maybe they should fix it first before adding anything.

Pretty sure vibration is app dependent. Example, 8sms. You can change the vibration length in the settings. If you set your phone to 1000ms vibration when you get a text your phone AND watch will vibrate for 1000ms(or whatever vibration pattern you set) To further my point I would NEVER feel the vibration of Snapchat updates because it was so short. I'm using xposed(gravity box) to change snapchats vibration length and I feel the notification on my watch and phone every time.
I agree 100% google should have a universal setting to be able to change vibration,notification, and screen light up settings.

Android Wear Notifications Reminder At Bottom of Screen

Updated to wear 2 last night. I get all notifications on the watch no problem but if I don't look it at the notification right away there is NOTHING on the watch screen to tell me that I have unread notifications.
So I basically have no idea if I have texts unless I swipe up from the bottom to check. THIS SUCKS if that's how wear 2 handles missed notifications.
Can someone confirm? Wear 1.5 used to leave a bit of the notification at the bottom of the watch as a reminder that there are some.
Note: I have my notification set to High (Always show) but nope, not always showing.

If you go into (Settings -> Sound & notifications -> Notification previews) you can set it to High so notifications stay on screen.

On the dev preview, it behaved just like you describe-notifications vanishing even when set to high.

Going to rescind my last post. Sometimes the notification will stay, sometimes it won't. Might be when I get multiple notifications, but not really seeing the pattern yet. Not having a "nag" to the notification is wildly frustrating. If I check (down swipe), the notification are there. But that means I have to check.

No. Swipe up on your watchface to see whatever notifications may be waiting for you, as you mentioned in the OP. Not as convenient as them just being there, but more convenient than taking out your phone.

How is that better than how it was on n 1.5? The idea of a smart watch is to see notifications at a glance and not having to check manually every time. I might as well do that on the phone then. This is beyond frustrating to me.

It's not. Most the apps I use are mainstream and well-supported, so the setting to always display notifications works for me in most cases. I suspect that as app authors get around to updating their apps to the new 2.0 standard, most others will work as well.

I am NOT set to High and if I have notifications that I missed, there is a small white dot at the bottom of the screen telling me I have notifications. Works with all my apps that allow on my watch. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Are you sure you dont have any special app or watchface that handles this? The white dot is there in ambient mode too? Could you please show a screenshot/photo of how it looks.

I'm not wearing the watch today at work. Wearing job-issued iWatch, but will try to send it when I get home tonight. I don't have any special apps. The only app I use is Feel the Wear to have select notifications (GMail) use an audible tone, when I get a new GMail. Otherwise, my notifications vibrate when I'm wearing the watch for select others. This dot is the same as I see on my LG Watch Sport, which I rarely wear -- too damn big.

No notifications here, either, despite being set to high. There are supposed to be dots....thought I just might be not seeing it or something... A few lines down to the below noted link - on Google's own site - alludes to said dots that I have yet to see appear on my Huawei.

[APP]AMOLED Notification Light "NotifyBuddy"

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.
Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
See settings for your phone for NotifyBuddy on this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Give your feedback!!

Working great, good job!
What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!

I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts

Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly

Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..

Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!

I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?

@HarshBoy99
Power button does not wake phone when I receive any app notifications.

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.

App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.

Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.
