[Q] Notification sound and vibrate not working

For some reason the notification sound and vibrate won't work on my Galaxy Nexus for long periods of time even though they are set to. It doesnt matter what the notification is for, text message, facebook, gmail, etc I will not get a sound or a vibrate to let me know, just the LED will flash. It will be like this for hours and then work for a bit and then stop working again! What is going on? I'm running stock 4.0.2

For me sounds work but vibrate for notifications doesn't

Go into settings that are in the sms app and select vibrate always, it will be way at the bottom

For me I have absolutely no clue what the problem is. I know its not settings because I have looked everywhere plus it goes back and forth between working for a bit and not working for a long time all on its own. I've even tried a factory reset and the problem persists. Could it be a hardware issue?

Same problem for me, vibrates for phone calls, and when shutting down, also when turning volume down, but not for any other notifications. (Yes, I set all the individual settings to "vibrate".) Must be a bug with the phone, lots of others are complaining about this problem as well. Hopefully this will be fixed with an update.

Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.

So I know this thread is pretty old but I never did find a solution to this problem and thus got rid of my Galaxy Nexus and went to an iphone for a while. I have a galaxy Nexus again and am having the exact same problem. I have done everything everyone has suggested and trust me it has nothing to do with settings. For a while notifications will work as they are supposed to but then they will suddenly stop working properly (won't vibrate or make the sound) until i reboot the phone and then it will work for a short period before not working again. I've tried a factory reset and all that fun stuff and nothing helps.

Sound Manager V2 worked for me
Same issue here, and Sound Manager V2 fixed the vibration issue for me. Had every vibrate setting I could find set to always vibrate and yet my phone would only vibrate on the vibrate only setting.

I hate to bump an old thread... but, it perfectly explains my issue. Has anyone ever discovered the cause or a fix for this? All of my settings are properly enabled. The issue seems to occur any time I switch the phone to "vibrate" mode, using either the volume rocker or the power menu. Whenever I try and turn the volume back up (again, either via volume rocker or power menu), notifications stop completely, except for the notification light. Reboot fixes the issue each time. But, it's very frustrating, and reminiscent of the BlackBerry days of battery pulls. Ugh!

same problem
same here -_-

Jellybean problems

First off, if this has already been done then sorry im obviously blind, if not then i think its a good place to post any jellybean related problems and fixes that people have discovered.
so here goes, i updated from the ota on thursday the 12th of july i had a totally stock yakju device with the build number imm761 (JRO03c after update)
problems i have found so far are
1.after every reboot the, screen stay awake during charging option is ticked in developer settings
2.the google now command of navigate me home will take you to a random address near your home even after setting home address in navigation app and in latitude (as far as i can tell this is only happening outside the us)
3.lock screen will only ever say 99% charged even when in battery settings it reports fully charged
i have not found a fix for any of these issues nor do i know if they are just problems on my device (barring the google now navigate me home command)
so if anyone could report if they have the same issues or have found fixes please post here.
thanks

Now has stopped listening for the keyword "Google". After a couple days with out reboot it seems that Now no longer responds when I say Google. I have to hit the mic button. A reboot would fix it... but a weird bug to say the least.

yes i knew i forgot something thanks also the option to enable this feature randomly disappears

I have a big problem since I did update to Jellybean
My phone charge itself, without it connected to AC power or PC.
And when I want to charge the power source does not load.
Last night I put in charge and not loaded than when we closed and I pressed power button + down button.
and camera, how do I set resolution? I make pictures. PNG 720x1280 on ICS I could change the resolution,
Jealybean sucks

You have reached the Holy Grail of getting power to a mobile device—this is not a problem/consider yourself very lucky.

I do not think this is too good for battery life, and actually not charge only indicate that charge

Probably hardware issue.

That's a pretty common Samsung issue, usb port dirty, faulty.
Either clean it or go to repair.

2) I'm in the UK and don't have this bug, ensure your home address is set correctly on maps.google.com and that when you click it the pointer is showing your house only and not a generic area.
3) Again, not experienced this. My lockscreen shows 'Charged' when at 100%
Sorry fella

I can't speak to the first two problems but I can confirm that it only charges to 99%. It's been that way on every ROM I've used since stock 4.0 so now I just say 'close enough'.

I've never been able to get Google Now to start voice recognition by saying Google. I was beginning to think it was just a myth. Any ideas how to force it?

Battery stats is what's responsible for indicating charge to my knowledge. Try wiping battery stats in CWM

I've seen this happen before on a brand new HTC X One, happened after about 4 days of being used. We let the phone fully run down and then just changed it, didn't come back again.

LG G4 screen turning itself on after timeout/lock

I've had the G4 since it was launched and until now been very pleased. A couple of days ago it started to turn the screen on by itself every time it timed out or I pressed the lock button... Unless it's plugged into a charger.
I've tried pulling the battery and uninstalling any recent apps I'd installed but to no avail.
Annoyingly, by the time I got myself to carphone warehouse to get it sorted I was just outside my 28 days.
Seen a lot of people having issues with the screen but can't find anyone having this exact problem. Anybody experiencing similar? Any thoughts? Cheers.

Guess there's not a lot of people suffering the same issue... Noticed something odd today with the battery. Never seen it drain this fast before, is there any way the screen issue could be related to the battery? It would kinda corroborate that the phone acts totally normal when it's charging... Trying to find someone else with this phone to try swapping batteries is... Difficult.

Do you have a screen protector on? If you do, is it possibly covering the light/prox sensor?

Nope, no protector, and I often manually cover the proximity sensor to demonstrate more easily what the phone's doing. Screen times out straight away and them comes back on just as quickly.

Same issue here
Sorry to drag up a thread but ive been having this issue from day 1 and its driving me MAAAAD! Press the lock screen button, the second the screen turns off it comes back on and its on the lock screen (like it would if i used the power button to unlock it)
I turned on "show touch screen touches " in developer options to see if the screen protector was touching anything but its not As far as i can tell it looks like the lock screen sensor might be dicky/weak from the factory? Major sads considering its the button I use on a hourly basis!
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated, i dont really fancy taking it back after 4 weeks to have it sent of for months to be looked at/repaired

H815P suffering the same but mine is randomly. I hardly ever notice but sometimes I just look at the phone and the screen is on.

Also same issue it s wake up randomly, screen is on suddenly and turn off, any solution?

That is the problem.
if yo use the auto hibernate in greenify, it wakes up the phone, turns on the screen than after hibernation turns off the screen. That is why I use only the manual hibernation. On unrooted phone it cause more battery drain than running the pr in the background

yes, on rotted phone the grennify is working as system app in the background and makes the hibernation without waking up the phone and screen + on rooted phone you can hybernate system apps too.

Hi there! thank you for the post thread! I recently got changed of my LG G4 motherboard by LG as I had another problem, and since I got back my phone it keeps turning the screen on-off randomly. I tried to change the auto-screen-off setting you described (hibernation) but the screen keeps turn on and off itself every 15secs! I even changed the phone settings to no background processing at all but same thing on and off again.. I did several factory resets, even tried not to install any app or even update the basics ones and keeps doing it randomly. I dont know what to do here please any help would be appreciated :S:crying:

turn daydream clock display settings

Hey its the sensors next the the front camera that is causing this i had this look reply typed and it just disappeared but long story short i noticed it didnt down it when the phone was facedown so i tried covering the sensors next to the front camera and it didnt do it at this point it could just be a program error or hardware problem idk how it turn off the sensors and it may look tacky but use something to cover the sensors and you should be fine im not 100% sure this is the problem im still testing but so far it works

Try disabling knock to wake feature. I recently noticed that I could tap anywhere and then again somewhere else, minutes later, and the screen would turn on. It was so sensitive that sometimes it would wake by just blowing on the screen.
To get to this setting, I created an activity widget using Nova launcher. (It's under the Settings -> Knock settings).
You can also use Better Battery Stats or Amplify to see what's keeping your screen on

fixed mine

A5 2017 vibration problem

Sometimes my phone's vibration is not working, I need to shake it first before it start working again. It clearly is a hardware problem. Just want to ask if anyone had this problem too. And if you have some advice that will be totally appreciated. Thank you.

Yeah i realized my phone not vibrating when i receive phone calls even though i set it to vibrate.

did anyone found a solution? Mine does the same, tried everything. sometimes the vibration is there and sometimes it's completely gone ...

sometimes the vibration feedback comes back after shaking the phone heavily. So I guess it is a hardware problem (loose connection)

if shaking the phone triggered the vibration, then i suggest you contact samsung for repair or replacement.

Hi, you aren't alone. I got the exact same problem on my A7 2017.

Have the same problem. It has occurred after the oreo update.

Hello, everyone... I'm from Brazil, and I have the same problem too. I've just shaked heavily my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and it came back to works...!! Definitely looks like a hardware problem. :-/

+1 for hardware problem. facing the same issue for a320
need to share it heavily or until it wont work anymore, need to open the backdoor, open using screwdiver, find the vibration module on the bottom right part of phone. i need to hit it couple times until the vibration work again.
but i have to test the vibration first, is it still work or not by using + & - cable (power source = 5v)

Same problem here. I was using google's keyboard because.... because Samsung had to cheapen a great phone via software penalties. Whatever. All they had to do was put in a smaller battery. I'll be romming this sucker up probably past the S 12. Plenty of bloatmobiles to hose down in between. Have your vibrator, Samsung, you earned it. Save some for the carriers, too.

Dial *#0*# (If it not works, then use *#9998*842#
You can test a lot of features
If vibration didn't work give the phone good shake
If not then it HW

So, still no solution for this? Has anyone determined if the vibration module itself or the connection to it is the most likely point of failure? The vibration unit costs about 3 Bucks, I'm more worried about the waterproof seal after opening it...

I had an A5 and about 4 or 5 months in the vibration was not working properly. I just kept it off. It would work and then just quit and mess up my texts. I was using google keyboard to get the feedback. But obviously that never panned out.

Samsung A3 (2017) Vibration Unit Repair - The Incomplete guide.
Okay, because nobody asked for this, here's my update in a new thread.

I don't know if people will see my post.
But I solve it. My A5 2017 doesn"t vibrate suddenly.
In a first time I thought it was a software problem.
So I factory reset my A5 2017 but the vibrator doesn't work.
I formatted my A5 2017 using the sofware Odin on my computer in a second time.
But the vibrator doesn't work again.
I read before after shaking the phone the vibrator work for a few time.
I shook my phone and pressed Down/Up inputs to switch my phone between Vibrator/Sound mode. The vibrator ran just one time.
Finally I call the *#0*# and select Vibrator.
Nothing happened.
I shook hard the phone during the *#0*# vibrator test and suddenly it began to vibrate. And I let it vibrate during whole the test (around 10/20 sec).
My A5 2017 run perfectly after day after day.

Are you on crack?
Here are the facts:
Vibration working BEFORE Oreo update.
Not working AFTER Oreo update.
Here is a misguided, foolish assumption:
This a hardware problem.

Worked for me. But not for long.
The vibrator runs fast, slow, or not at all. Definitely a hardware problem, but it's long out of warranty now.

Issue when the phone is on loudspeaker

Loudspeaker is useless on my Note 10+ and even on my sisters note 10 if you switch on loudspeaker during the call. Call qualiti is getting bad. Away like one or 2 meters cant hear me the other person. On my other samsung phone like a71 you can even hear me like 10meters far. And if you use viber no problems. Any idea somebody who have a same problem?

30 feet away? wtf? 2-3 feet max.
To increase volume you could try altering hidden user settings to increase it.
Or use bt Buds+ which work very good.

Maybe noise cancelling. Or firmware version.
Compare firmware and phone app versions of the phones.
Make sure the volume limiter is not active.
I'm running Pie, more options may be available on other versions. Try running the phone speaker volume control from 0 to 100% 3 times.
Clear system cache on boot menu.
Try in safe mode to rule out 3rd party app interference.
Don't go too nuts as this is a minor problem. Upgrading could cause more issues that are more troublesome than this! A factory reset likely won't solve this. Double check all associated settings. Samsung is notorious for "hidden" settings. Some can only be called up by a search in settings if you know its name
Some only if you double tap an unmarked setting box. Quit the box of surprises... even after 3 years I continue to find new things on the Samsung Pie/One UI firmware. One of the reasons I don't upgrade especially if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue in actual use unless you do something stupid.

Thx for your time!!!
1. Yes i think also that can be a nois cancelling bec when we talk on phone we cant hear the background music not at all that means for mee here is some noise cancel active. But i cant found a setting to switch off at all no options for that to turn off. Maybe this is the problem maybe the phone thinks that my voice is a backround noice than cancel it. Any idea how to switch off?
2. Cant do nothing with the firmware its already updated the newest from everything.
3. "the phone speaker volume control from 0 to 100% 3 times."? Who can i do that? and why?
4. What is volume limiter?
5. This problem is a major problem for use like this a phone is useless and i will sell it bec in many situations we cant use the phone.
thx for you time
