I've just flashed Phoenix 5.2 on my phone, but for some reason if my phone is in silent mode I get absolutely no vibration when I get a SMS message. I've checked the sound settings and the settings within the messages app itself but for the life of me I can't find where to turn vibrations on! If anyone could help me, that'd be fantastic!
Thank you!

If it's on silent mode, it is set so that no vibration notifications come in. You need to put your phone in vibration mode
Is there a vibration mode at all? I'm using the silent mode that you can get to by using either:
1. Sideloader
2. Top menu
3. Lock screens
When I used to be on Cognition, the silent mode automagically put everything in vibrate mode (to my memory)... Or I must've changed a setting somewhere to make it vibrate instead of making no sound/vibrations whatsoever.
Menu>Settings>sound>vibration > ALWAYS or ONLY IN Silent or ONLY not silent
if that just isnt doin it for you try the app "SMS pop up" it will take over the notifacations at the top and you can control the vibration how you want, with reminders if you dont answer right away and pop up windows with the txt, with privacy mode if lock screen is on, custom ring tones for custom people ect...
if you use sms pop up disable the regular sms notifacation.
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation

Thanks for that! I've also found out what the problem was! I've had "ALWAYS" on all the time!
The silent mode in Sideloader and Top menu makes it vibrate, but the Lock Screen's "Silent Mode" makes the whole phone just go mute.
I've had the Lock Screen set to the new 'Rotary Lock' that's available in Phoenix 5.2... and it seems to be only that Lock Screen's Silent Mode that causes this problem.
Silent Mode with the normal Android Lock Screen works fine (with vibrations and etc)
Hello guys. I'm new on this brilliant device.
I am trying to receive only icon notification on the status bar for the telegram app. I go in the notification preferences of the phone and set everything as it should but as soon as I receive a telegram message the settings I had selected are overridden and I am back to scratch. I am trying to get rid of pop up banner notifications and lockscreen notifications but I can't manage to achieve my goal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same thing for me, i think the phone is not saving settings for notifications and after 12-24 hours (even without reboot) these settings revert back to default... (especially the pop-up one)
I'm having the same issue with Kik Messenger. Turn some notification settings off and 12 or so hours later they are all back on. Really annoying.
I'm having the same with some apps. For instance, Yahoo Mail app keeps turning vibrate on even though I keep turning it off.
I keep getting a notification sound at random intervals but there is no notification. I have tried disabling NFC and notification reminders per googles suggestions but that hasn't helped. I downloaded Notification Log History but it only shows actual notifications I am receiving not the ones I don't see. Any ideas?
I got those sounds until I turned off Notification Reminder.
You can have notifications turned on, but turn off the reminder.
Ok I finally figured it out. I had notifications disabled for 115 out of 132 of my apps through the settings menu. I went back, enabled all notifications to see what was going off all the time. Turns out I was getting numerous alerts from Tapatalk and Slickdeals. I went into both apps and disabled notifications through the actual app settings and my issues went away. Not sure why the apps override what I'm doing in the phone settings but they were. Hopefully in the future this helps others. In short, enable all apps in the phone settings and see what's notifying you. Go into those apps and disable notifications within the app.
For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?
Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.
YouTube Vanced is doing that to me
It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.
GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.
I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.
Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.
Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.
I've found Pie very intermittent with app notifications count badges, from S9 beta to S10 now

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.
I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.
Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...

The brief notification is where you get a small pop up at the top of your screen. How the hell do you disable this globally? Some apps like WhatsApp you can do from within the actual app's settings. Others you can turn off priority notifications.. But some apps don't have any valid setting. How can I disable this for all apps. Its such a useless feature for me. I just want the regular icon in the status bar and nothing popping up
they used to be called heads up notifications I think and yes I'd welcome a solution for this too.
I currently run my phone in 'do not disturb' mode 24/7 because I despise their intrusions.
