I am new to Tasker -- and before I start spending loads of time learning the language, I need to know if it can do the one thing I need most urgently.
My brand new Samsung S23 Ultra has one bad feature - vibration that is so soft I can't feel it. What I am looking to do is, essentially, switch between two sound profiles without having to go into settings and change a bunch of settings one by one. Setting one would be the normal sounds -- an MP3 ringtone and rather standard sounds. Setting 2 would change the "ringtone" to a sound that resembles a vibration, as well as changing the notification sounds (e.g. incoming text messages) to the same thing, and lowering the volume of the ringtone and notifications. That way, the phone will sound like a good old vibration, and thus sound like it was silenced (but I will hear the fake vibration and know I have incoming).
Can Tasker do this, and create buttons or the like to enable each sound profile?
Many thanks!

Is there anyway to make it vibrate for a shorter time when a text arrives?. At the moment the vibration makes as much noise and disturbance as having the ring tone on- not so good when you are trying to be discreet.
I hate to bump such an old message but does anyone have a solution for this? I did a search and can find only options for Ring vibrate changes... the SMS vibrate I have on this ROM is long and annoying. Before, I had just 3 short bursts.... Honestly, I would like just 1 short one!
If you go to start, settings, sounds and notifications, you can configure some things, but not set 3 vibrations to one, but you can set the vibration off

You may as well put it on silent then?
what you need is a registry change. Which one though is a question I can't answer.
I have the 1.3 NmLs rom, and set on vribation, i only get one vibration, for a few seconds.
I was also wondering if someone could point me to the registry change for sms vibrations. On Dutty's older roms, I had 3 short bursts.... on his version 4 ROM, its a longer single one. I really would like a short discreet one....
I am sure there must be a way. Heck you can even control the haptic feedback on some keyboards like finger keyboard 2.1.... Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I have a solution but there's a catch. It's only a workaround and only allows *.wav files as ringtones.
You can configure your own virbation sequence. It's not user friendly though
after installation you will have some new files under /mydocuments
among those are
v100.vibrp files. These are scripts containing the *.wav file for the sound, and the ringing sequence
You can then select those virb files as if they were normal ringtones in your sound settings
you can alter the ringing sequence to whatever you like - it requires some trial and error. You can alter the wav files as well.
I can upload a file which results in 3 short vibrations if you can't manage to configure it.
Is there seriously no easy registry fix for this? In my current rom the vibration is for like 1234312 seconds and it really annoys me and the rest of the world.
there is none, but my above fix works just fine
Is there any software that i configure a vibration time in my incoming calls?
mine is vibrating full time. when the xperia start the ringtone the vibration do not pause or stop till i answer the call
can someone help or suggest something?
In Sounds & Notifications you have the possibility to choose between ring only, vibrate only, ring and vibrate (it seems like you have chosen this setting) and the alternative of starting with vibration and ringing afterwards.
If this is not enough for you there is the possibility to adapt the sequence of the incoming call notification either in the registry (I don't know the keys though) or by using tweaking software such as SK Tools.
Thanks

Thank you! I did a long search about it and I found Vibro which is what i'm looking for
I found a program about it long long ago,but it not perfect
I've noticed something weird since installing the newest version of advanced config (that might not even be the problem though) and it seems to still be present after uninstalling. But, when I have my phone set to silent (correct me if I'm going crazy), then no notification sounds would normally come through (this is even with the volume set at highest level). The only thing that would work would be system sounds (from videos, music and such). Since setting sound events through adv config now my notifications (only email, not text messaging for some reason) still sounds when my phone is set to silent. I'm sure that shouldn't be happening and the only thing I did was of course, change the sounds using advanced config. Am I losing it or has anyone else noticed the same behavior? One other minor detail. When I set the phone to just vibrate, then (like it should) I get no notification sounds...just vibrate. It's like the silent profile is screwed up somehow.
Think I found the problem and this may have been done by design to allow you to control each system sounds and it's volume separately. Apparently when you set the sounds using adv config it creates a key (InitVol which makes sense) for the volume level you want that particular sound setting to be at. With this key set, it overrides the system volume levels. The key is located at HKEY Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds. Each notification sound is listed in there. Just go into the one you dont want overridden by adv config and delete the InitVol key and all goes back to normal.
Hope this helps out others using the app!
Good tips man, thanks!
I have problems with not working ringtone profiles. They dosent work at all. When i want to change volume, I have to use side buttons. Its only way to switch volume. I have this problems on all official software versions.
and just what is it that you would you want your phone to do to have a working ringtone profile? you can assign a different ringtone to each contact, and a picture as well. if you can't specify the ringtone volume level for each contact it doesn't mean it is not working. it's just that phone software doesn't support that function, and i see no use for that since you can chose no ringtone at all for a desired contact. and what's wrong with using side buttons? you want on screen volume slider? is it really necessary?
I mean that when Im switching profiles (normal, vibrations or silent mode) nothing is changing and sound volume dosent change. I have to use side buttons to turn down volume, and some times it dosent work corretly (e-mail notifications are always loud)...
Next, I cant turn down email notifications... All ringtones are set down manualy but email notifications are loud and are driving me crazy at night...
Hi
Can anyone confirm the following.
The notification and ringer volumes are linked. Now when I set the ringer volume to level 1 and choose a ringtone and notification in Settings->Sound, they both play at a soft volume. If I then receive a WhatsApp, Gmail, etc the notification is loud, a lot louder than when I selected in the settings. The ringer volume is still soft though.
I then tried to troubleshoot. If I increase the ringer volume, the ringer and notifications get louder as they should, except the notification get MORE louder. Its would seem that notification is honoring the volume level, but notifications have been amplified before being played. Even playing a sound via Lightflow or Tasker results in this extremely high volume.
Can anybody confirm this odd occurrence I am experiencing.
I have the same problem too.. Let's just hope that in the next update we will get a separate notification volume slider
yes, confirmed. This annoying bug is there from the very beginning.

OK, I found a pretty good work around.
I only use 3 notifications sounds, so I copied the three ogg files from my previous rooted phone onto my PC. You will likely need root access to copy from the Huawei, so you could probably just Google your notification sounds and download them.
I then downloaded Audacity from http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html so that I could lower the volume of the sound files. You can merely drag-drop the file into Audacity from Explorer, and it will open a wave representation. On the left of the wave is a -/+ slider where you can change the clip volume. I reduced my files by -20db, but you could choose you own negative value. I then saved the files. During the save process a dialog will come up where you can set some meta info like a title. I added -20 after the title so that when the phone lists the sounds, you will know which one is yours. I then copied them into the /notifications folder on my phone, or even add into draft gmail which you can then access on your phone and then save into /notifications. When you go to your app or settings to choose a notification sounds, you will see the original and the "new" sound in your list like below, hence why you need to add the -20 behind it.

When you choose the default notification sound in settings, it will sound very soft. But when it actually plays for a notification, it will be close to the same ringer volume. It will also get louder when the ringer volume increases as well :good:
During call notification sound like wechat or wsp app still make sound very loud.very anoying n its hurt my ear.how can i fix this.so regret buying this phone so expensive but quality so dumb even my s5 can control n dont make sound during call
