[Q] Problems with Textra.... - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Anyone having problems with hearing the notification when a SMS or MMS is received on Textra? I'm using a Droid Turbo and I have checked the box for the notification sound (Default Droid turbo sound) and to vibrate always. When I receive a SMS or MMS it only vibrates no sound.
The sound notification works on Verizon Messages, stock SMS app and in hangouts. For some reason there is no sound notification for Textra.
I have a feeling it might be my droid Turbo since my sound notification goes out on all the email intermittently. But it is strange that when the sound goes out on the email, the sound still works for SMS and MMS except when using Textra.
I have made sure the volume level for notification is at max but it still does not work. Then all of a sudden it wills tart to work again. It will also work again after a restart.
Any ideas?

That's odd. I have textra and sound seems to work all the time for me. Not sure what could be causing this..

I have confirmed the levels are at the max level and have tried changing the notification sound. I have a feeling that my Droid Turbo is defective. I have made sure it is the default SMS app. I have also done a master reset and the Textra notification sounds still do not work.
Seeing that a Textra user on the Turbo has it working with no problems, it seems that my Turbo it is defective.
Obviously Im still withing the 14 day return period so Ill see if I can exchange it. If not, I guess I have no choice then to return it, cancel the edge and then buy it at another store. Hopefully it wont come down to that.

Ok another weird find.....seems like if you send yourself a message to yourself in Textra there is no sound notification regardless of the setting (at least in my case). When I sent a message from my other phone the notification came through. Maybe someone can confirm this as well?
On all of the other apps the sound notification came through regardless.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
Anybody found a app or anything that makes in call notifications work yet?
You can use Chomp SMS there is an option there to get a sound notification if you get a message while on call

Disable vibration while on calls?

Currently, my phone will vibrate for certain notifications while I am on a phone call. I don't want any vibration to occur while I am on a phone call (although a discreet beep in the background would be good, but not essential, the main thing is no vibration while on a call).
I've looked extensively in settings and can't find any way to achieve this. Have I missed something?
Phone is unrooted and stock ROM.
I'm looking for the same thing! The vibrator is so darned loud and with phone in my ear, it's crazy!
Hi,
It turned out I had to install a 3rd-party app for messaging (Handcent) to get this feature.
Also, after investigating further it turned out that the stock Messaging app doesn't vibrate when you receive a message while on a call (that is, there is no notification at all during the call). So it must have been some other app that had vibrated in my ear. However, I installed Handcent because I still want a notification (a tone) if I receive a message while I am on a call.
Hope this helps.
Look like the bug has been fixed and will be available in "future build"

WhatsApp calls don't vibrate

I'm fnding that WhatsApp calls don't vibrate when I'm out of the app (eg screen is off, or using another app)
The strange thing if I'm in the app itself, the vibrate works fine for calls, but the moment I'm out of it, I only have the dropdown notification but no vibration.
I'm on version 2.19.308 of WhatsApp.
Is anyone else having this issue as well?
I have a Pixel 2 xl and I'm also having this problem. I've missed several calls because I always have my phone on vibrate at work. It's really annoying.

FB messenger and vibration

Hi,
since ~2weeks ago when I got message in messenger, it vibrates one short and one long. In the past it was only 1 short..
Not all phone affected, in the family there is another p30pro, everything is the same, and that is fine.
In local forum another huawei phone has this issue.
Anybody faced with this? Any solution?
You changed your notification sound?
nope, no changes.
found this..: https://prohardver.hu/dl/upc/2020-04/167156_screenshot_20200414_143648.jpg
disable the always vibrate. now the long bzzzz bzzz changed to short bz bz.
There is a section in the notifications of the app that shows you notifications of chat bubbles, chat and calls, stories, among others and you must modify one by one to disable vibration, and it is only activated when the smartphone is in vibration mode

All notifications are not consistent.

I've set them active and they don't make any audible notifications vibrations, sometimes.
It's making me crazy.
Anyone else?
i've also noticed this. wasn't sure if it was just me. not sure if i should be glad someone else is having the issue. i'm not having the sound play or getting the vibration. wonder if it's sleeping too deeply or what.
after using it a few more days, i've noticed that there are also times when i get a vibration but no sound, even though i don't have it on silent.
I've been scouring the internet and have made a post on the Google Pixel Phone Help Forum. Perhaps people who're facing the same problem here can upvote it so we can get to the bottom of this?

So far, I've tried:
1. Booting in Safe Mode in case it was an app that was causing these problems (I was suspecting Blockda, the AdBlocker, but that wasn't it).
2. Going into the notifications menu and making sure each and every app had notifications enabled.
3. Toggling battery saver mode on and off.
When I turned on Notifications History, I saw that Push Notifications were being logged there, they just weren't making it to the status bar and aren't making sound for whatever reason.
Hmmm, interesting topic. I received my 4a 5G today and I noticed that I did not receive my Gmail notifications at all or delayed. Strange, haven't had such issues with any other phones.
