I don't know if its just my specific phone but I want it to play the sound and vibrate whenever I get some sort of notification. With the stock messaging it gives me that option and I see the option through Handcent but phone only plays sound. When I go into vibrate mode, only calls vibrates. Nothing else.
Any help? Thanks!
Try reinstalling the app
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Try this:
With handcent installed navigate to
Android Settings>Sound and Display>Enable Haptic feedback (make sure it's checked)
below it change vibration intensity to your desire. Once this is done you can then disable haptic feedback if you don't like it but the vibration intensity will be saved for handcent.
i was looking for an app that customized some sms and email notifications.. any out there for email? this seems great for sms

vibrate and sound works fine for me in handcent
I forgot to mention that I did have Heptic Feedback off, rumor says it saves battery life.

Handcent lets you customize the vibration pattern also.
I come from an iPhone with the hardware silent switch. If this was set, then the only sound would be vibrate. All other sounds (games, music, etc) would only be available through the headphones.
On my Galaxy Note, if I turn on silent mode, it seems to only affect the phone. For example, navigation, Skype notifications, etc, are all still heard. Is there a way to suppress all sounds in silent mode?

I realize that... but shouldn't silent mode still mute the media volume too? I assumed it muted the master volume, not just phone rings. I was in a job interview and had to turn the phone off because I was getting Skype messages
Is there an app/mod that can override the silent and make the phone truly silent without having to mess with the volume slider?

Ohh well if you go onto settings and click sound you can adjust volumes of media/alarm the way you want it its a slider thingy so if you want true silent just drag down all the sliders takes about 2 second to accomplish

shahkam,
I understand that but ALL others phones I've used with a silent switch, silence EVERYTHING. Going into volume and sliding the slider is extra effort than flipping a switch. Makes no sense that "silent" really does not silence the device. When you mute the volume on your Mac/PC, it does not selectively mute certain applications (system sounds, music volume, mic volume, etc). It mutes everything.
I'm sure I am not the only one who finds this strange. Is this an Android issue or specific to the Note?

Yes, there are profile apps that can be downloaded (mine is a paid app, easyprofiles) that can set all volumes e.g. ringtones & media volume, with a single click.

It sounds like skype is using the media audio channel for notification sounds, which should be going through the... notification channel! Sounds like a skype issue (the skype app is really bad)

It's not just Skype. As shahkam pointed out, even if you put the phone on silent, any apps using media volume are still audible. Defeats the purpose of silencing the phone, IMO. If I set the phone to silent, I expect NO audio (only vibrations).
Anyway, seems like I am beating a dead horse here and will have to use a 3rd party app for "one-click mute" instead of mucking around with volume sliders. Thanks for the suggestions.
P.S. yes, the Skype app is pretty bad but it was much worse on the iPhone.
The third party app "tasker" can provide a no click solution among other things. It can automate most anything, including completely silencing your phone when you have a meeting on your calendar. Send texts automatically to people when you are driving,etc.
If you are planning to stay on Android for a while, this powerful app is well worth its price.

which rom are you using? i put the phone into silent mode using the drop down toggle so it is on vibrate, i dont get any notification sounds for sms/email etc that i would if it wasnt on silent mode
i dont use skype so i cant say about that but it sounds like certain app are using their own sound system which is overriding the system default
Buddy the silence thingy on iPhone is the only good thing about an iphone it isn't so hard to silence it completely + if you use silent mode alot just go to message aand disable notification same for every other apps such as Skype i understand your frustration but i honestly think its not a big issue :/

Solution: AudioMuter
I was also annoyed by this "feature"... So I've written an app that can mute all audio outputs of your phone.
It's called AudioMuter and is available in the Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=MyApps.AudioMuter&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIk15QXBwcy5BdWRpb011dGVyIl0.
Hope this helps!
Silent thing in iphone is not the best. It sucks dude. The toggle or button of the iphone usually breaks.

You could get a 3.5mm jack and plug it into the headphone socket when you want silence.

Not necessarily, I still get SMS notification sounds on my handset when i have headphones in.
I use Slider Widget - Volumes in the Play Store; fantastic app, puts a widget with up to 6 toggles on it. I turned double touch toggle on in settings so I can just double tap the icon to toggle sound on and off. When i want silence I toggle off all but the alarm and in-call voice volume and with it on my home screen I can tell at a glance what sound is on/off.
For finer control, you click a toggle and it pops up a slider bar to adjust the volume.
I have to say, I agree with the person above...the fault lies more with Skype on your particular problem for apparently using the wrong volume setting for its notifications; it might not be entirely intuitive that silent mode leaves media volume on, but media volume SHOULD only apply to sounds you deliberately generate (ie, you start playing music or a game). Things like notifications/ringtones/etc go off at unexcpected times outside of your control, so those are the ones you want to silence... you can't hit play on your music app and then get angry at your phone for playing music lol.
It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !
webvan said:

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
Good Morning,
I just picked up my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 this Sunday and I'm loving it so far. The only problem is I work in a location where I need my ringtone off but the ability to hear my notification and messaging alerts. Kind of like a beeper/pager. Is this something I can do on the Note 9?
Thank you

Yeah that's super easy. Hit volume down, and a volume slider will appear. Then hit that little arrow in the top right of the volume slider. That will expand it to include Ringtone, Media, Notifications, System, and Bixby Voice (if you set it up). You can adjust them individually that way.

When I attempt to mute/vibrate my Ringtone. My Notifications and System options automatically white out so that I cannot change them.
Ultimately I want Ringtone (Phone Calls) on vibrate all the time and my Messages Notifications to play a small chime.

? You're right. Guess I never tried it, just assumed it would work.
Ok, do this: Go to Settings, then Sounds and Vibrations. Click on Ringtone. Then set it to Silent.

Hi!
I just want to know if there is anything I can do to separate notification volume from ringtone volume as I could not find anything on the internet that worked for me.
Try to use tile settings from play store, it has 3 sound modes in tile

I don't think you understood my question. I don't want to switch between different modes, I want to set different volumes for ringtone and notification. I have tried Volume Butler, Precise Volume and other such apps but they decrease the ringtone volume along with the notification volume & vice - versa.

Thanks for the link, but I have already figured out a way of my own. I am using macrodroid(Tasker's free alternative) to increase the volume while the phone is ringing and automatically decrease it after the call ends or I miss the call. ?

I am glad you resolved bro :fingers-crossed:
I don't find any solution for this problem! If I use apps to solve the problem they say that it didn't work of course the system set the ringtone and notifications twice. So is there any fix for that. I need a really loud ringtone sound for work outside. But if don't won't a really loud notification. I use C26 One Ui Android 10.
I hope that you can help me out!
Thanks!

Use tasker/automate/macrodroid or something similar to automatically increase volume while the phone is ringing and then decrease it after the call ends.
Can you give me an export file of your Macrodroid Macros. Of course I have problems with the settings.
Or can you tell me your correct settings for each macro.
I hope that this is possible for you!
Thx a lot.....
triggers: phone ringing, call ended, call missed
actions: if trigger fired (phone ringing)
increase ringtone volume to 100%
if trigger fired(call ended or call missed)
change ringtone volume to 30%
constrains: not dnd/vibrate/silent
Hope it helps
Not realy..... :laugh::laugh:
1) Phone ringing

2) Call ends

These are my macros. But I dont find the way for "only vibration" for my 3 Option.
And I am not sure if two macros are enough.And what means "allow all"? If this trigger is true - it allow the action?!
I put my macro export in the attachment.
If you have the time I would be happy if you put your export in the attachment of your next post
Thx a lot......
My Macros doesn't work. When call comes in it is under 30% or 30%. And the 3) is really wrong, after I get up today I'm in vibration mode and can't get out. I had to stop the macro 3).
So I hope you are rescue me with a export of your macro.
