It will not make a sound whatsoever! Everything I try, it only vibrates. I do not have a single option for vibration enabled! I've tried changing various settings through the Settings/Sound and Display submenu, and I've even went into the SMS/MMS application and see nothing in there that is set to vibrate. I've tried my phone in Silent, and it's Silent. I've tried it in Vibrate, and it's Silent. Yet, when I up the volume to max, it vibrates. Anything between Vibrate and Max Volume, the phone vibrates. Anybody have any ideas?
Have you checked to see if theres a notification/text ringtone enabled? It's possible to set the ringtone to "Silent," while having all of your volumes turned up.
If that doesn't work also try a factory reset
from the initial messaging screen click the menu button, settings, scroll to the bottom, there is a notifications settings section, make sure you've got a ringtone selected in there & if you dont want the vibrate in addition, uncheck vibrate.
The ringtone is set to tweeters and the vibrate option is not ticked.

this is a bug I have had the same problem. I think it's when you get a text while your talking on your phone, but i'm not sure 100% But if you shut your phone off and turn it back on it will fix itself until it wants to do it again
The same thing as happening to me I shut it off and on several times and it still doesn't work help plz i have also uninstalled the music player and replaced it with another android music player maybe that's the problem?

Ever since I updated to FroYo, I lost the feature of having vibrate only for phone calls and text messages. Usually using the volume rocker (up and down) it would go from silent > vibrate > ring.. On FroYo it goes from silent > ring..
Any idea how to fix it?
I know I can do it manually by making the option be vibrate on silent in phone settings.. But sometimes I do not want my phone to vibrate on silent.. Just a hassle of going into settings and turning it off each time when i do not want it
It sounds like your problem is two fold.
First, mine goes from sound bar down to vibrate. (I don't know if ADW launcher has an affect on this or not).
Secondly, you might want to look in to the settings applications on the market and see if you can set and restore settings for those times you want just silent and vibrate for some parts.
Are you using modaco's rom?
I use a widget called extended controls which is like an enhanced version of the stock power control widget. It has options for vibrate only or complete mute.
sliding the speaker on the lock screen should put it on vibrate only on froyo
Nope the Lock screen slide makes it completely silent. Is it only Modaco's rom ?
Did you check settings> sounds > vibrate and ensure it is not never or only when not silent?
Well neither of those options help because its either one or the other. I do not want it to always vibrate or just vibrate when on silent.. I dont know why it disappeared :S
Did you try "vibrate only on silent mode" and see if you get the option? I'm tuning kang-of-rama froyo and it works and that is what mine is set to. Otherwise maybe reflash your rom?

Vibrate only in silent mode defeats the purpose of silent mode
Stupid google, wth were they thinking with this change. I don't understand why they had to fix something that wasn't broken.
you can do it from individual app setting for sound, and in the home screen setting. that way you can tailor each app's vibrate, or silence the way you prefer.
Everyone is missing the point here. I have a Droid running Froyo and am experiencing the same problem. It is really not that hard to understand, but so many forums about this issue are full of replies that misunderstand the issue:
Prior to Froyo, Silent and Vibrate were 2 distinct functions:
Silent: ringer volume at zero and vibrate was disabled. Perfect for a theatre or a quiet meeting where even a vibrate would be annoying and disrespectful.
Vibrate: ringer volume at zero and vibrate enabled. Perfect for keeping the phone in your pocket, being aware of notifications, but not having your phone beeping and ringing all day.
This all makes sense, yes? By using the volume rocker, it was possible to adjust from full ringer volume down to low ringer volume. If you continued down after the volume was at it quietest, you activated vibrate mode. Then, if you clicked down once more, you would enable silent mode. Also all makes sense. And is extremely useful and intuitive.
In Froyo, Google has changed the way the OS handles volume control when it comes to silent mode and vibrate mode. And quite frankly, they have screwed it all up. Now, in Settings, you can specify whether the phone should vibrate "Always", "Never", "Only in Silent Mode", "Only when not in Silent Mode".
Ugh. So what that means is they have essentially done away with a distinction between silent and vibrate and now instead of having quick access to both options, you have to pick whether silent means truly silent like before or whether it really means vibrate. So frustrating.
So far, the only solutions I have seen out there are to download one of the many widgets that allows you to toggle between vibrate, silent, and ringing via a home screen icon. But this is not good enough. I want Volume Rocker control back of true Silent and true Vibrate modes.
Someone here on XDA must know how to fix this. Can't someone come up with an app that overrides the volume rocker? Or even an update.zip that restores the 2.1 functionality here?
Here's to hoping!
EDIT: here is the official google help thread on this topic: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3f836bd37ec0dc88&hl=en
Hmm it seems i'm not the only one who misses that option on Froyo!
I used it quite a lot...going from sound to vibrate (when going out) then going into a meeting just one more click and the phone was on silent.
There must be someone who knows how to fix this?
Any news on this ?
Tbh I like the new way much better

for a second i thought i was going crazy but it seems like everyone has the same problem
oh well, here's hoping google fixes this soon. i want the old "silent [no vibrate] -> vibrate only -> ringer+vibrate" setup back.
Agreed I prefer 2.1's behaviour.
I'm using Curvefish's "Beautiful Vibrate" widget as a workaround for now.
i just upgraded to froyo and this missing feature also really annoys me..
it's been some time since the last post in this thread. are there any proper solutions/workarounds yet?
Settings -> sound -> check silent state
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
sorry, there's nothing to check there this post within this thread describes the problem very well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6975085&postcount=12
i can't find the "beautiful vibrate" widget within the market, guess it doesn't exist anymore?
[edit]
i'm using "silent toggle widget" now, seems to be working as expected, but of course doesn't replace the volume rocker feature/settings from 2.1

Alright this one is strange. Sometimes my notifications won't make sound. I find the only way to get them to sound is to reboot my phone. My only question is why is it that this happens in the first place? I use the droid notification for texts from the phone's normal menu and for gtalk I use one from my sd card. I am really at a loss here...
I'm also having issues with notifications, but more with the vibrate. None of my notifications I mark as "vibrate" actually vibrate, despite having it marked to "always" vibrate in the sound menu.
As for your problem, cstrife, do you have any apps that change volume or is your volume in the "sound" menu different? I know that Lightflow seemed to mess with my sounds a bit. I also use "notification manager" to turn off sounds at night, and sometimes in the morning the scheduler doesn't restore volume settings properly.
Gawd I'm just waiting for a good custom ROM.

I notice the exact same thing regarding the vibrate function... I can feel incoming calls, but not any notifications (i.e. texts, GoogleTalk IMs, etc.). Not a SUPER huge deal, but would rather it work--than not.
I've had this problem for about a week now. For some reason, no matter what text message app I use, non of my notifications will vibrate. I've uninstalled every app I installed since it started happening, but no luck. I don't know what's causing it! A few days ago notifications returned back to normal, but then I got a text today that didn't vibrate.
Also, Settings > Sound > Vibrate is set to always, both in the general settings and in Go SMS, but it doesn't vibrate in either silent or ringing mode.
Info:
Build: Cognition 4.5.3
Stock firmware
Thanks for your help!
I'm having the same problem. Happened out of nowhere and is starting to drive me crazy. I didn't change any settings and all vibration/notification settings for my phone and my texting app are set properly. It has to be something with the system because my volume control app showed that vibration was off for all notifications even tho it was turned on in settings. I uninstalled that app...still no luck
Anyone have a suggestion?
Were you able to turn it back on in the volume app? I know Sound Manager will let you toggle it. I have had this issue in the past as well; I turned it back on with Sound Manager and it worked properly afterward. In that program, hit menu and there's a vibration settings menu.
Hello there, I was wondering if anyone could help with an odd issue my phone has developed?
I have a German Note, sim-free, using it in the UK, not flashed, just running stock 4.0.4.
I updated OTA the other day to 4.0.4, and all was going well until I noticed this odd bug:
Previously, when the volume was reduced all the way down on the ringer it would put the phone into vibrate mode (when it would vibrate for notifications) and one more press of the volume rocker would put it into silent (no sound OR vibration).
Now, when the phone is in silent mode (so it shouldn't ring or vibrate) it vibrates for email notifications (via the native app) and other notifications e.g. words with friends, but it doesn't vibrate for SMS and phonecalls. I've tried changing the individual email settings for vibrate (but it doesn't help, plus I shouldn't really have to!)
Anyone having the same problem or get any ideas? Any help is appreciated!!
Anyone have any ideas?
Isn't there a setting for this?
Vibrate "Always" "Only in Silent" "Never" or something like this.. Possible it was configured differently before you upgraded...

Nope, tried changing it to every setting and it still vibrates when the phone is in silent (not just vibrate only mode).
What makes me think it's a bug is that words with friends also makes the phone vibrate in silent mode.
Open Dialer
Open settings by pressing the left menu button and in vibrate check never instead of only in silent or always..

I'm running the stock ROM if that's any help
Since a couple of months I have been running the P880 nightly builds and they have all had the problem below. Currently I am on CM11-20140713-NIGHTLY-p880.
When my phone is in silent mode, you can still hear the notification sounds. It does not matter where the phone is set to vibrate or whether the sound is just turned off (usually selected through holding the power button and selecting one of the silent modes). This only applies to notification sounds, i.e. when the phone rings you cannot hear this.
You can also reproduce this by putting the phone in a silent mode and under Settings->Sound->Notifications selecting any of the sounds. You will be able to hear the sound selected. When I try this on a different type device using the same version of CM11, you cannot hear the notification sounds in silent mode.
Any suggestions?

Really? Sounds like a serious issue then. I too encountered this with Hangouts in vibration mode. Also sometimes it's the opposite, notification sounds don't work when not silenced, need to reset volume.

It can indeed be quite embarrassing in a meeting
What surprises me a bit is that the basic silent functionality works for phone calls, but not for notifications. I had not expected that to be a device dependent feature.

I had this problem a while ago. If you look in sound settings, there'll be an option when you press "volumes" saying "silent mode affects notifications". If this isn't ticked, tick it. For me, it was greyed out until I deselected "link ringtone and notifications volumes", so I unchecked that, then checked both. See if that works
