Hey guys,
so i noticed my phone doesnt vibrate when i recieve text messages unless the phone is specifically set to vibrate mode.
with volume, i recieve a notification sound but no vibrate
Im using go sms pro as my messaging client and when i test the notification settings i get a report saying:
test result is:
ringtone is on
has turned on vibrate in silent mode
go sms notification test results:
ringtone is on
vibration is on
etc...
so the line im trying to figure out is the "has turned on vibrate in silent mode".
ive searched through the Sound settings on the phone and i cant find any way to change the vibration settings or the silent mode settings.
i even experimented with setting the stock messaging app to vibrate always and setting go sms pro to no block other app notifications...still no vibrate even with the duplicate notifications.
what do you guys think? i feel like im just full retard and missing a simple check box in settings or something.
thanks
Your question is about Go SMS? With the stock messaging app, vibration options are in the settings. Must be in there somewhere.
It doesn't matter what I do. I've tried every single thing I've found on here. No matter what I set the notification sounds to in handcent & gmail, the notification sound that plays is the system default notification sound. Even if I set it to silent the default always plays. I want to be able to distinguish the difference of when I get a text & an email. Someone please help!!! I've been sitting here for over 3 hours trying to get this to work right. What can I do to fix this?
Is there anyway to enable vibration in call? I know turning on "alerts" in phone settings works only for the default messaging app, that's all. Every other app, notification gets muted with no vibrations. Theres no way to tell if there's an important text or email that comes through without having to turn the phone back on and checking.
So is there any way to enable it, or by through any Xposed Module? Thanks!
Since the vibration on this watch is so weak I cant feel my text notifications I'd like to get audible chimes when receiving one. My watch will ring for calls but I cant find anyway to enable it for texts. Is there an app for this or is it something I'm simply overlooking?

I use light flow from the play store. Mostly because it controls other stuff on the phone.
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.
