Hey,
I´m having a little problem: I´ve set the phone to vibrate when an email arrives (in the sounds menue). Also the phone is set (via the buttons on the left side of the case) to only vibrate when a call or an email arrives.
The vibration alarm works when the phone is on. But if the phone is in the sleep mode (display is turned off), it doesn´t vibrate at incoming emails.
What am I doing wrong here?
Secondly I´d like to know if there´s a way to e.g. let the phone only vibrate on system events and to let it actually ring, when a call is incoming.
As far as I can see, I can only set it to vibrate in both cases.
Thanks for your hints,
Thilo
Ok, Question #1 is solved:
is seems that the phone/os can only execute one option at a time: either ring OR vibrate. Now, if you have marked both, playing a sound and vibrate, the last marked item wins.
E.g. if you first click on "playing a sound" (I don´t know what it is called exactley in the english os version) and then on vibrate, the phone vibrates when e.g. an email is received and vice versa.
But how about the two different settings for "System" and "Ringing"? Is it possible to set "System" to vibrate and "Ringing" to a certain volume level? I talk about doing this with the volume up and down buttons?
so long,
Thilo

I usually have my phones on a scheduled soft reset in the middle of the night. I put it face down so the light wouldn't wake me but the Kaiser(Qualcomm) does a vibrate pulse as if I needed that... Anyone know how to disable that?
Put it in your sock? *cough*
i wanna to know the answer too....
Anyone?...

Sorta weird you can't disable this :|
Diable vibrate
OK.. might seem odd but a found some materail that said that some of the software used to disable the led with kill the vibrate feature... I could not find the software.. but it give a place to start

There is a software, but I think a registry tweak will be easier:
Code:
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
Change the "Index" value from 1 to 0
Soft-reset the device
Killing the vibrate isn't a feature, it's a consequence in this case.
And, it's not killing the vibrate on reset/power on.
I think this is something on the chipset level that can only be resolved by a altered ROM or "chipset" update from Qualcomm...??
stop vibrate at every soft-reset
Has someone been able to stop the vibrate starting at every soft-reset ?
I prefer to think of it more as a shudder whilst yawning as it wakes up
How to reduce the vibration time period ?
When I put my PPC in vibration mode and a remind alarm arrives, my PPC is vibrating for a TOO much long time ! I just want it to make, 1 short vibration , how do configure the PPC to do that ?

Surely this must be a hardware issue which can't be changed?
I've change my ROM and radio more times than i can remember and still have the same issue. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't some of these ROM bases even come from different WM hardware (which doesn't have this problem)?
I don't think the vibration duration is linked with the hardware, there must be a way to configure this, as it is possible to configure the ringtone to increase the sound or not.
Anyone has already tried changing the vibration duration ?

There's 2 ways you can put your phone into vibration mode:
1: tap the speaker icon on the top bar of the phone and select "vibrate" from the on, vibrate, off options.
2: tap the speaker icon on the top bar and leave it set to "on", but drag the two volume sliders to the bottom.
If you use method #1, when you get a notification it will give you 3 short bursts of vibration.
If you use method #2, the duration of vibration for reminders and other notifications (email, sms, etc.) is related to the length of the audio alert. I have my phone set to make noise and vibrate at the same time and when I get a message, it vibrates for the entire time that it's making noise, and not a bit longer. When I drag the volume sliders down instead of putting it exclusively into "vibrate" it vibrates for the same amount of time, so I imagine it is still playing the sound file I have associated for that notification, just not outputting it to the speaker, and vibrates while the sound file is playing.
So if you want a shorter vibration when your alarm arrives, choose a shorter beep, tone, jingle, whatever sound you want it to make when you get an alarm. Or use option #1 for putting it into vibration mode if the 3 short bursts are acceptable to you.
The vibrate upon startup is some low level thing, and I have no idea how to change it.
Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the TYTN II. I put it to vibration using the HTC home ant it is OK, vibrating when somebody calls. Then suddenly, without me changing anything, it starts ringing as if I changed it to "Normal" profile. When I look at the HTC home I see it still has the "Vibrate" profile selected. I have to press on the "Vibrate" again to make it go to vibration again.
This strange thing happens randomly (or at least I cannot find what causes it), sometimes when I have used the phone, and sometimes even when I haven't.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.

Have you gone to Settings>Phone and set the Ring type to "vibrate and ring"?
You can also use Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications and set "Phone: Incoming call" to "Vibrate and ring"
Hope this helps
Yes, I have all the settings. I change between the "Vibrate" and "Normal" profiles when I am in meetings (vibrate only) or generally (normal, ring + vibrate). The problem is that when I set the vibrate profile, the phone automatically rings sometimes, with sound, which I don't want in a meeting.
reminders?
This problem has just started to appear on my Kaiser. It seems to show up after a reminder appears. I have turned off all sounds and reminders except calendar reminders but vibrate still gets changed to ringing. I have also used Kaiser Tweak to change the defaults.
I don't what triggered this but it seemed to start when I uninstalled FlexMail 4 and then installed Flexmail 2007 but that may be coincidence.
A real problem in meetings or in a hearing where an official can really get upset over a ringing phone.
I still don't have a solution. I don't use FlexMail (any version) so I don't think this is the problem. It could be the calendar but I have not found any connection yet.
Work around
This is by no means perfect but it will prevent embarassing moments. Try recording a "silent" ring tone and using that for your ringer. Then all you miss are phone calls. They, of course, go to voice mail.
I had a similar issue, however it was in reverse, by once choosing the automatic profile in the HTC home.
Basically the automatic feature remains active after selecting it once, so after the reminder, even if it doesn't have time if your next block of time happens to be "free" it will revert it back to ringing.
Unfortunately I never found a solution and now have a new Kaiser, which I have avoided selecting it since getting the phone.
bluetooth too
Yesterday while on a call using a handsfree bluetooth device, a calendar reminder popped up and my bluetooth connection was dropped simultaneously. The call was not dropped and I was able to turn on the handfree connection again using the menu.
Which has led me to search for these type of problems. I found a thread that addresses a way to turn off push mail notifications. I understand the same "fix" works with calendar notifications.

Here is a thread on notifications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330872
I am now sure that the problem is connected with the calendar. It appears when I make some changes in an event (not always but in about 90% of the cases). I am synchronizing with Outlook and I think the problem appears when I change an event that was already synchronized. By "changing" I mean even dismissing the alarm when it goes off.
Any ideas what I could do?
Hi all, I have just got my Galaxy Note from South East Asia. I just want to check whether this is a bug or everyone else's gnote is doing the same thing.
Like the title says, When I received a text message, gtalk notifications, whatsapp notifications, gmail notifications or any other notifications, the vibrations that is coming from the phone is the 'Incoming Call' Vibration instead of 'Notification' Vibration. The 'Incoming Call' Vibration is the long buzz and the 'Notification' Vibration is the 2x short buzz. So when I am chatting with multiple people, I get multiple long buzzes, this is driving me crazy, not just that, this is draining my battery as well..
I hope someone can help me, I want and need the vibration, but I just want the 2x short buzz..
p.s. I have played around with the settings with every single apps and the phone settings, but nothing seems to fix it. I have also done a hard reset, problem still there.
Is anyone else having this problem? If this is normal, then is there any apps or anything that can change this? Thank you in advance for any input..
Can anyone just let me know what are their notifications vibrate and the incoming call vibrate? I just want to know whether mine is acting normal or not? could some help me in replying please?
this is common even my phone vibrates long.. try keeping a short tone like single beep or something. This may reduce the duration.
U can actually set different vibration intensities for incoming calls, notification and haptic feedback ...what i did was to reduce notification and haptic feedback to zero so that my phone only vibrates for incoming calls. go to settings/sound/vibration intensity.

the problem here is that the vibrate that I receive for incoming calls & notifications (sms, email, etc) are the same. when setting my phone on vibrate and when I have it on silent, I cant tell the difference whether it is incoming calls or just a sms text when I have the phone in my pocket. this makes me to respond quickly to my phone whenever it vibrates, because i use my phone as business use, since I thought those vibrates are incoming calls.
thanks to you both for the reply.
Hey all,
I have a problem with my HTC One (M7) - after the last Android update it started to act funky. By default all my volumes (call, notification etc.) are set to maximum, then I receive a call, phone rings at set volume and after the call, the call volume lowers by itself to less than 1/3 of the original value. I have missed quite a few calls because of this and cant find a solution Has anyone else encountered this? If so, can you provide some info for getting rid of this problem? Thanks in advance
do you have "pocket mode" or "quiet ring on pickup" enabled in the sound settings?
I have pocket mode enabled and quiet ring on pickup disabled - but I dont think that is the case. Because this happens even when my phone is lying on the table display side up or even standing up leaning on books or whatever
Hi.
sometimes (at least once a day) it happens to find the volume of notifications at 0. The volume of calls, system and multimedia are ok, that of notifications is set by itself to zero.
do you have any suggestions on what it might be?
Do you have any automation turned on? (Bixby Routines)
I use DnD during the night, but it is set like the other phone
