Hopefully a quick topic, but anyone with a Nexus 6 / Lollipop figure out how to turn off notification vibration?

I think for now you have to change the the notifications setting below the volume slider to "None". I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but I did update to Lollipop on my Nexus 5.

Which notification/s? Most if not all (that I know of) have their own setting within the app itself. This would go in the Q&A section
Some apps like "Power Toggles" will allow you to use a toggle that gives you the old Silent mode back. It looks like it is in priority mode but it's one step further. Notification light works, alarms work but nothing makes noises (all the system noises are silenced). I am using that for now.
How is there not a complete silent mode on this phone? Ridiculous, especially considering the Nexus 9 has one and it's a TABLET!!!

There is one. Press volume up/down and then tap on None at the top.

No, this turns off ALL notifications. There should be a way to still get notifications without the phone vibrating.

I still want my notifications to show up on my phone/moto 360 but the way the Nexus 6 handles the notifications makes my moto pretty much useless.
I love this phone, but this was a stupid mistake on Google's part. You should be able to disable all vibrations without impact to notifications. On top of that, you should be able to control the intensity of the vibrations. Uggg. :bad:

Agreed. For me the vibration motor on this phone is louder than the actual notification sounds, it's embarrassing. Was able to customize intensity on my Note 2. I've just been using priority mode to keep things silent during work, and the Pushbullet app to have notifications pop up on my computer. That system has been working pretty well at least.
No fix for this yet?

You can change the intensity using custom kernel like elementalX.

Yes, but I shouldn't have to run a custom kernel. This is a ridiculous oversight by Google.

I'm not exactly -against- running a custom kernel, but I'd like to modify as little as possible. At this point, I'd totally be willing to disable vibration completely rather than try and tweak it into oblivion. I'm currently on the CM12 official nightly. I was using franco kernel, and it was good, but it seems that the cm kernel is doing just fine for me right now.
If anyone knows a surefire way to break the vibration(in software) do tell!!
So I use an app called audio manager and one of the options is to make vibrations to be turned off. This has worked for me with no impact to notifications. This is a great fix for those of us who are trying to stay factory
Here is screen shot of what to do in the correct order
there is an option in the phone, and messaging app, that you can turn off vibration. go into messages.. click settings, notifications, viola.. uncheck the vibrate box.
I don't have any vibrate on any of my notifications all the apps have there own settings as to whether u want vibrate or not.

Its kinda old though:
I turn off my vibration notification by going to the app.
For me was to disable only vibration of Hangout notification.
I went :
1) slide main menu of Hangout
2) Setting
3) choose account like [email protected]
4) In HANGOUT NOTIFICAITON section, click "Hangout messages & invites"
5) uncheck vibrate to disable.
Enjoy!

but it's my facebook notifications and when I go to that app it has no selection for vibrate... I don't want to turn it to "none" on notifications I just want SILENT?
I've been looking for a fix for this for the last 3 generation of android phones I've owned. Is there a way to fix this for rooted phones yet? There seems to be very little discussion about this topic. I've been muting the notification sound; but, that doesn't prevent the volume from going down while listening to music or watching a movie.
When you change the volume it will be automatic depending on what app you have opened. If you want to adjust a specific volume you can hit the arrow on the volume panel to expand it. Some mods allows it to always be expanded.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was actually hoping for a non-rooted fix to prevent it from happening in the first place. I tried looking for an exposed framework mod; but, wasn't sure which one would do it, if any. I did find the simplest non-root solution below (if anyone's interested):

I searched a bit and took me a while to find this. Maybe this post will help others.
Do you wish the volume buttons on your s5 would control media and not ringtone? This is standard on many custom roms like cm and makes much more sense.
There is only one way that I know of to accomplish this on stock lolipop without root.
Rocker Locker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomwandroid.rockerlocker
It's a small app that runs in the background upon startup. It gives you control back over your volume buttons. I mean who really needs to adjust ringer volume on the fly... Isn't it best to just set it.. Leave it.. Then use toggles for silent/vibrate. Not to mention your phone in pocket accidently getting its ringer turned down.. Not cool.
I consider this app one of my top 5 essential apps on a stock lolipop s5. It's like its not even there.
Hope you enjoy.
Let me know how you like it.

I have a root. I have a Lolipop. You can make installation of Rocker Locker immortal
Hi, ud have root an lollipop his galaxy s5 AT&T ?
PD: SORRY FOR ME ENGLISH, LOL
I am testing out a Moto Z Force (coming from a Nexus 6P) to see if I can handle switching without having root. And a couple of things I am missing already. Is there anyway to break out the volume controls and have a separate control for ringtone and a separate one for your notifications like sms? I hate having the same volume control for ringtone and sms. Next, I miss my "power menu". Is there anyway to get the flashlight option by pressing and holding the power button down?
I know these are not big deals...just seeing if I can fix them
@darkcyber20 I don't know of a way without having root privileges to ruin the volume controls.
For the flashlight though, Moto has baked in a gesture for quickly enabling it. It's a double chop motion. Look in the Moto app, in the section called Actions.

Well, crap! Why do these phone manufactures think people want to have the same volume level for their ringtone as for their text app? Thanks for the information! The ringtones and notifications sounds are considerable lower than my Nexus 6P

I personally hate the separate ringtone/notification volume controls. That was one thing that seriously annoyed me about the Sammy phones I have owned. I'd lower the volume with the side buttons then get blasted by a notification tone.

I like separate volume controls. I use an app to set the volumes/vibration appropriately for the situation.
Also, it should be easy to allow the volumes to be linked if desired. Someday we will have the best of both worlds.

The app I use is called Audio Profiles. Unfortunately it does not have the ability to set different volumes for the ring tone and the notification unless the phone allows it. I had the LG G5 and the Note 7 (for a few days) and it worked with both of those. It won't work with the Moto Z family. My comment that you quoted simply meant that it shouldn't be that hard for the software to allow either separated or linked ring and notification tones.
However, my notification tone is OK. There is a known issue with the notification tones being hosed. It seems to be sort of random. When I was trying to select a tone, I could not hear some of them so I selected one that was a good volume. Not sure if you are able to pick one that sounds OK. Some folks can and some cannot. Hopefully this will be resolved with the next update.
Also, Audio Profiles is not perfect. Sometime it doesn't give you the profile you selected. It is better than 95% with my experience which isn't bad. I had a hard time finding one that worked at all. I used to use Tasker, but gave that up.

I can barely hear my notifications. guess i have an affected device.
good news is a new one is on its way. mine came out of the box with a bad LCD, (black spot top left corner) and moto sent me a new device already. hopefully it doesnt have that audio bug. its driving me nuts
Got my new Device today. Same issue with the sound. Might have to call moto to try and make another claim And get a non updated device. This came with the latsst update pre installed unfortunately.

I'm not sure if anyone feels the way I do but I can't stand the notification panel with One UI 4.1. It's a complete mess and I often find I'll have upwards of 25-50 notifications all separate in a large list. I vaguely remember it being cleaner with 4.0. Is there a way to have it group all app notifications from the same app together? Also, is it possible to set priority apps so that those notifications go on top? I know I can turn off app notifications for certain apps but I actually do want these notifications.I just don't want them to drown out the important ones like messages. I downloaded goodlock but I only see options for changing the theme.
I've recently recieved OneUI 4.1 update on my phone. Feel the same. It's a mess. I was looking for a fix. Came across your thread.
I haven't found anything. Fortunately, it looks like One UI 5 is going to fix the notification panel.
