captivate notification issue, anyone? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I just noticed, when the phone is off and your received calls.. When you power it on, it doesn't tell you that you've missed a call or gotten a text.. Maybe bc im using tmobile?

I wouldn't expect it to tell you of a missed call unless they leave a voice mail and then you should get the notification about that but text messages should show up as normal when you switch the phone back on.

Oh that's dumb.. I usually got a message that says I missed calls on other phones.. Thanks though.

you should be getting a notification for a missed call on your notification bar. the symbol for it is a red check mark. Are you using a task killer? Task killers really screw up notifications on this phone. (even when used correctly)

Even when the phone is off? If the display is off yeah but I wouldn't expect it for missed calls when the phone is actually off.

if u mean screen off/sleep mode, u should get notifications. but if u say phone turned off completely, i won't expect it to show missed calls, unless the callers leaves some voicemail.
If u use ATK to auto kill tasks, make sure to exclude all system/phone related processes. That could be the culprit that auto clears ur notifications.

I have not had any phone that ever showed me missed calls when the phone was off (powered off). If it is asleep, then you should have a notification in the notification bar - the phone has to ring (audibly or visually) - so if the phone is out of service area, you won't get a missed call alert either.

No alert LED?

Hey guys..unless I'm missing something...there is no notification LED?....I keep missing emails and texts because there is no alert?
Ok..my bad I searched and there isn't one...sucks...That's a deal breaker for me.
The little green light flashes on mine when I get a new SMS, not sure about email
I have an LED light, that goes on for battery charging. I assume it works for notifications too.
I have no notification for email or SMS unless I turn the phone on.

Erm how did you make it do that? only lights up on mine when charging and if theres a missed call.
Hope someone makes the "NO LED" app for WP7 soon. IMO that app is far better than any notification LED.
do we have any sort of notification program?

Phone not notifying for texts

Hey guys. I have a problem: for some reason, my phone has stopped notifying me of texts. It neither vibrates nor chimes, regardless of whether it's on silent or not.
I went to my settings to see what's up, and vibrate is set to "always," and my notification tone is on don't Panic. Now here's the funny thing: you know how selecting the chime will preview it? It's not doing that at all, for any of them. Any ideas?
P.s. my volume's cranked, so it's not that.

I'm actually listening to music right now. And, my phone ringtone works fine and vibrates when I get a call.

Issues in vibracall

Hello guys!
have a razr that stopped vibratin.
vibrating sometimes yes and sometimes no.
Anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
In assuming that your notification settings in calls, messages, email etc. are all set to vibrate when notified, is it hit-and-miss that your phone vibrates with the speaker on or is it just when you are using it in one of the silent modes?
I only ask because when I first got my RAZR it took me a while to figure out that in the silent modes it will only vibrate when it is actually set to “Vibrate” mode itself and not when in “Mute”, so it’s just a thought that you are not sometimes setting it inadvertently to “Mute” by mistake.
As an aside I use an app called “Vibration Notifier” from the Play Store. Essentially if you miss a message, email, call etc. you can set it to vibrate a pre-determined number of times to alert you to missed notifications. So for example, you can set it to vibrate every minute (or any other number of minutes you specify) up to a specified number of times until you turn the screen on. You can also set the length of the vibration which I find a Godsend as I find the RAZR’s default vibration pretty weedy, and you can also customise it to notify you of any other apps you may have which have a notification feature.
Thanks for help, but my phone is in vibration status... Sometimes vibration work and a feel time before, dont work more

Lollipop, Notifications, and (Mandatory) Vibrations

So apparently with Google's new priority notification setup in Lollipop, there's no way to get notifications on your phone without having your phone vibrate. That is, there's no silent mode. You can either turn off your notifications to avoid vibrations, or leave notifications on without sound but still always get the vibrations - you can't get notifications without vibrations. THIS SUCKS. Why does it suck? Well...
Example 1: I have an LG G watch. Since my G watch vibrates for all of my notifications, I typically disable vibrations on my phone so that my phone isn't constantly buzzing on my desk. In 5.0, I can no longer do this. That means that every time I get an email (or any other notification, but email notifications are coming in all day), my damn phone buzzes in addition to my watch. Oh, and to make matters worse, the GMail app vibrates on notifications EVEN THOUGH I disabled vibration for notifications in the settings. This bug has been around for a few versions of GMail now.
Example 2: Bedtime. I typically put my phone in silent mode (no sounds + no vibrations) so I'm not woken up while sleeping. But I'll often check my phone while in bed before falling asleep, or overnight if I wake up, just to see if I have any notifications. Now? You can't do that. You have to put the phone in "None/Do Not Disturb" mode to avoid getting woken up by vibrations, but if you want to then check to see if you have any notifications, you have to toggle out of that mode.....then toggle back in after checking.
WTF was Google thinking with all of this nonsense? I can't be the only one with use cases that their new setup totally screws up.

Wow.. I am still learning the new Lollipop features but if this is true that would be pretty sad for me too.
I am sure someone will make an Xposed module for this. Oh, wait...
There will certainly be options in custom ROMs.

I just tested priority notifications and sent myself an email. The phone didn't buzz and no LED light flashed but when I turned the screen on, the notification was there. Is this not what you want?
The worst thing is that if you want to disable buzzing and put the phone on DND mode, you WILL miss any alarm you've set. Especially if it's for the bedtime...
I agree all with you.. I don't like this new setting. When I'm at school and my phone vibrate, my teacher will hear it

Hmmm. Thank you. I'm going to mess around with this more. I wonder what a connected Android Wear device will do in such a situation.
Either way, Google really has made this all way more complicated than it should be, IMO. This shouldn't require all of this thought/setup. Why not add all of their priority stuff and just leave silent mode in there as an option? Sometimes I want my phone COMPLETELY silent. No sounds, no vibes at all, and no thinking about which apps are "priority" apps. This is an extra level of unneeded complexity.

I just think people aren't used to change. It seems like everyone is acting like there is only normal and none and not thinking about priority. I think priority is good for when you want things silent but in case of an emergency you can allow certain notifications in. Like messages or calls from specific people and no one else. Yeah it's a little more elaborate but it's effective I think.
Dude priority mode is what you are asking for. No vibration but you we get notifications. So when you need to silence you phone set it in priority. Now it's even better. Want to receive call or message from someone important? Set your phone to priority mode and add them to the list. Phone will be silent but will ring of that person calls/messages.

Admittedly, I'm sure that not liking change is part of it. I also do see the benefit of priority mode - I really do. I just think Google could have easily implemented their new priority mode and still left in the very basic silent/vibrate/ringer functionality.

Priority notifications...
THERE IS SILENT MODE WITHOUT VIBRATE! LED NOTIFICATION WORK FINE! JUST REEEADDD THIS. OR PIN THIS THREAD!

That is not what the OP is referring to. Priority mode is not what people want. No interruptions = there will be no notification light, and there will be no heads up while the phone is in use. It should be something that you can just set up and leave alone. The first 2 developer previews actually had a silent mode where you could long hold the sound icon in the volume window and it would go to real pre-lollipop silent mode.
I also have the same issue. I have a pebble watch that literally forwards every kind of notification I want, and I don't like my vibrator to be running at the same time. I think google needs to address this and bring back silent mode by 5.0.1. I'm sure 3rd party roms such as AOSPA or CyanogenMOD will have this, but AOSP stock should have a no-brainer silent mode.
I was wondering about this too.
So, if I have the volume all the way up, set to priority with events and reminders, calls and message all OFF. Will the phone only make noise with an alarm?
And setting it to none be the same but killing the alarm too?

This is,what OP wants. You just dont know, how set this. It's very easy. I was confused and pissed first. No silent mode, and no notifaction led? But now works perfect. In middle mode you can set, that your phone will be ring/vibrate just when you get a message, and set on silent mode for phone call. Or reverse, or, alot more ....... People just need manual for this, because first time is very confused.

Just noticed something else.
I'm playing music on right now, and the volume rocker controls only that. I can't see a way to changing the ringer volume or priority settings when music is playing (short of diving into the settings) That's a pain in the ass.
I am having issues --- Notifications push to the device, however they don't "pull" if that's a thing... example.. I am on the laptop and get an email, hear the notification on phone and light - check and delete the email in gmail on my laptop... Notification stays on phone... it used to go away.. Maybe it is just me or "I no lollipop well".. ha
Edit** may have been a Google issue both N5 & N7 are now pushing and pulling notifications..... fwiw

What, is this why today I missed waking up in time for work?
I was still getting system notification sounds, even on priority set to only calls/texts from starred contacts.
I wish silent was still an option like it was on Dev Preview 1. I've been using android phones exclusively since 2010 and this is just what I like.
Someone hack the silent state from the first preview, please.

I think he's asking for a setting that will make his ear drum explode on notifications if he is actually ON a call with the phone up to his head.
The answer is NO, this cannot be done, since the assumption is that if you are on a call, you want to actually conduct the phone call and not screw around with irrelevancies.
I'm a HER, lol. And I need to be able to get my notification sound while I'm on a call. It has to be a bug. I have never heard of not getting a notification while on a call unless it's a bug.

I don't think that's a bug, that's a missing feature all I can say. Like there is no proper Silent Mode on Lollipop
I fixed the issue...... I returned the nexus 6 today for the note 4. Kinda sad but I can't live without notifications. My teenage daughters don't like calling so have to be able to get thier messages while on calls.

You can use Chomp SMS there is an option there to get a sound notification if you get a message while on call
