In my M9s settings menu I have my "Sound profile" set to "Normal". In gmail settings I have "Notifications" box checked, "Inbox sound and & vibrate"say "Sound on, notify once", tap "Sound & vibrate" I have "Sound set to Lilac" and "Vibrate" box is unchecked (s/b ?). When I receive a new email I get one "Lilac" notification as expected, but if I don't open the email (ie: sleeping) the phone will sound (not "Lilac" sound) and vibrate every 15 - 30 seconds until I open an email then the notifications stop until I receive a new email then it the phone starts the sound & vibrate happens again every 15-30 secs.
The same thing occurs if I have the phone's sound profile set to silent.
NONE of my phones have ever behaved this way. Any idea what is going on? This thing is going back if I can't make the Gmail notifications work correctly!
Thanks in advance for any insight to this issue.

Go to "Settings" "Accessibility" scroll down to "Notification reminder" and switch it off. :good:

Thanks! That did the trick; I had looked everywhere without luck in getting this phone to behave.
Hello Fountain Hills! I go up there to golf every once in a while.

Is this happening with anyone else? It plays my notification sound for emails and texts with Gmail and voice but won't vibrate. Im using CM7 RC.
do you want kickback or just haptic feedback?
both work just fine..at least I would definitely notice if they werent.. and the only things Ive had issues with the entire palate of CM7 is some wifi or gps if you want kickback.. you may need to install that app as I am not sure if its built in cmsrc -- i always have it because well... its part of my own batch of apps.
go to Menu > Settings > Sounds > Vibrate > "Always"
This is set to "Never" by default in CM7.
Also notice the "Only when not in Silent mode" choice. I use this one because I obviously don't want silent mode to be vibrating. I noticed that when I select "Always" then go to a silent profile and back to regular, it will often rever my vibrate settings to "Never". I haven't noticed this using the "Only when not in Silent mode" selection.
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.
Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?
Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know
Missed a meeting because my s3 was in my pocket and did not vibrate and i didnt hear the tone. Went to calendar -> settings and there is no "vibrate" checkbox in the "Notifications settings" section (like there was on my old galaxy s). I also don't have this checkbox in my text messages settings, but my text do vibrate albeit not with the default vibrate "tone" i selected. My phone is pure stock att no root, no rom only 3 days old. Anybody know how to have calendar reminders / alerts / notifications vibrate?

If you go in settings, then sounds, is the check box next to Sound and Vibration checked?

Yes. It does vibrate for calls and texts, just not for calendar. Also, it vibrates for calendar reminders when i set "silent mode" to vibrate, i just want calendar reminders to vibrate even when silent mode is off (meaning i want both a tone and vibrate). I've seen other posts for s3's that reference a "vibrate" checkbox on the message setting, but i do not see this text box so I'm assuming other s3 owners have a vibrate checkbox on the calendar setting that i do not have also - can anybody corroborate this for me?
This is fixed in the OTA update currently rolling out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31801294#post31801294
I've never had this problem before with my Note II, but every time I get an email through the Gmail app or the Nine app (work email), the phone vibrates.
For gmail, I have the 'Notifications' box checked and within the 'Inbox sound & vibrate' I have 'Label notifications' checked, Sound set to a non-default ringtone (in case the default ringtone was the thing forcing the vibrate), Vibrate unchecked and 'Notify for every message' unchecked as well.
In Nine, pretty much the same setup. Vibrate is unchecked and sound is changed to something non-default.
Any thoughts?
I still haven't been able to find a solution. Anyone have any thoughts/experiencing the same problem?

One last try to get an answer. Hoping with more people having the phone now, someone will know.
