What may be the setting that I'm missing as in silent mode and no other app does this, only incoming MMS/text messages cause a vibration (which wakes me up when phone on nightstand).
Have volume on minimum.
Even selecting a text message that was previously received causes a vibration ?
Try "Textra", I've just this sms/mms app for years now.

Hey,
I´m having a little problem: I´ve set the phone to vibrate when an email arrives (in the sounds menue). Also the phone is set (via the buttons on the left side of the case) to only vibrate when a call or an email arrives.
The vibration alarm works when the phone is on. But if the phone is in the sleep mode (display is turned off), it doesn´t vibrate at incoming emails.
What am I doing wrong here?
Secondly I´d like to know if there´s a way to e.g. let the phone only vibrate on system events and to let it actually ring, when a call is incoming.
As far as I can see, I can only set it to vibrate in both cases.
Thanks for your hints,
Thilo
Ok, Question #1 is solved:
is seems that the phone/os can only execute one option at a time: either ring OR vibrate. Now, if you have marked both, playing a sound and vibrate, the last marked item wins.
E.g. if you first click on "playing a sound" (I don´t know what it is called exactley in the english os version) and then on vibrate, the phone vibrates when e.g. an email is received and vice versa.
But how about the two different settings for "System" and "Ringing"? Is it possible to set "System" to vibrate and "Ringing" to a certain volume level? I talk about doing this with the volume up and down buttons?
so long,
Thilo
Hello there, I was wondering if anyone could help with an odd issue my phone has developed?
I have a German Note, sim-free, using it in the UK, not flashed, just running stock 4.0.4.
I updated OTA the other day to 4.0.4, and all was going well until I noticed this odd bug:
Previously, when the volume was reduced all the way down on the ringer it would put the phone into vibrate mode (when it would vibrate for notifications) and one more press of the volume rocker would put it into silent (no sound OR vibration).
Now, when the phone is in silent mode (so it shouldn't ring or vibrate) it vibrates for email notifications (via the native app) and other notifications e.g. words with friends, but it doesn't vibrate for SMS and phonecalls. I've tried changing the individual email settings for vibrate (but it doesn't help, plus I shouldn't really have to!)
Anyone having the same problem or get any ideas? Any help is appreciated!!
Anyone have any ideas?
Isn't there a setting for this?
Vibrate "Always" "Only in Silent" "Never" or something like this.. Possible it was configured differently before you upgraded...

Nope, tried changing it to every setting and it still vibrates when the phone is in silent (not just vibrate only mode).
What makes me think it's a bug is that words with friends also makes the phone vibrate in silent mode.
Open Dialer
Open settings by pressing the left menu button and in vibrate check never instead of only in silent or always..

This is a workaround for getting missed call notifications in addition to SMS notifications whilst using STAMINA mode.
Note this only works for anybody who hasn't upgraded their firmware yet. Upgrading apparently "fixes" this (useful) bug and you don't get notified at all any more.
The notification LEDs only appear to stay flashing in STAMINA mode if the event occurs when screen is off. This is why SMS notification works, as an incoming SMS doesn't wake the phone. Phone calls,on the other hand, cause the screen to come on, so the notification LEDs don't remain flashing after the missed call. It's the nature of the "bug" it seems.
So, missed calls have to be converted to SMS. The free app "Missed Call Messenger Lite" does this. If a call is missed it fires off an SMS. If you put your own number as the SMS destination, you send yourself an SMS which comes back shortly, time depending on how busy your network is, usually 2-5 seconds.
The problem is, if your network returns the SMS too quickly it arrives whilst the screen is still lit from the phone call. Luckily the app has a delay setting ("call log timeout" - under "Advanced Settings") which delays sending the SMS. Default is 5 secs. If you set 15 secs or longer it should work, the SMS being delayed until after the screen goes off. You need to include Missed Call Messenger in your STAMINA mode exception list,or the SMS won't get sent!.
There's one more thing you need to do. There is already an automatic entry in contacts, right at the top, called "Myself", and the bounced back SMS will be from "Me". Unfortunately you can't set the illumination for "Myself", so you have to create another contact with your own number.
You could name it "Missed Call" or similar, and if you begin it with an underscore it will end up out of the way at the bottom of the contact list. Luckily the system picks up your new contact rather than "Myself" when your own number comes in, and the LED bar flashes.
It sounds a complicated workaround but it actually works without any fuss,so you can now have phone and SMS notifications.
Just to repeat, this only works for the original firmware.
In the phone's global settings, I have a specific vibrate pattern set, yet nothing vibrates this way when I get a notification. I just get one long vibrate.
Anyone else?

i may be wrong but in order for that to work you need to have the phone only on vibrate mode.
The setting there is only for the vibration pattern during incoming phone calls. Each app has its own vibration pattern setting, or if it doesn't, it just uses the default single buzz.

Ahhhh.. that's right. I remember some ROMs having SMS apps, etc. with vibration pattern. Ehhh well...
I've had this happen with two SMS apps and I want to stop it from happening.
When do not disturb is on, incoming SMS makes my phone vibrate and continues to vibrate no matter what.
Is there a setting that I'm missing that controls this?
Thank you!

Was the screen on, when you got SMS or screen was off and it vibrated? Basically I remember my Pixel 2 some other phones too have/had a setting under do not disturb do this when screen is off and do that when screen is on...check it. Yesterday my DND was enabled and I did receive a call on Whatsapp which rang. Before the call, my screen was still on that is why, it rang.

This happens in the middle of the night when I know my screen should be off. I'm thoroughly perplexed.
