Maybe I'm just missing a setting here, but I can't seem to find where I can set the phone to vibrate and play a tone for an email or SMS text. The tone works, just no vibration. I'm coming from a N1 and had the 'vibrate' set to always. Anyone else notice this?

If you go into "messaging". go to settings and at the bottom theres a notification setting.

Thanks - I forgot about those settings. What about it vibrating for Gmail messages?
i tried taking screenshots for you but i'm having issues.
if you go into the settings of each of those applications, you can set it there. in email, gmail, and messaging there is a section in the settings called notification where you can set a unique tone and also enable vibrate.
*EDIT- tonyizhurr beat me to it

I don't remember having to change these settings on my N1, they must have been activated by default. But I digress - thank you for the help!

Thanks. This was driving me crazy. On the G2 you could find the discreet settings for different items listed together in notifications. Now I can assign different sounds.

Hi..stupid question but i cannot seem to get my phone to vibrate whenever I receive a text or notification..can someone tell me where i can go to set this?
I tried going into settings, sound and display but i do not have vibrate as a selection in the notification ringtone tab.
Is there an app i can download that allows me to customize my sounds?
thanks!
the settings for notifications are within each messaging application. if you go to your sms application, hit the options button and go into settings. at the bottom you will find the notification settings, including vibrate and a ringtone selection. notifications for each of your messaging apps are configured this way.

Nothing you can do about that in android. Thats the default android vibrate for notifications. I think it sucks too, its way too short and too soft of a vibration.
What you can do is install SMS Popup. Go into settings on that app and enable notifications on it. It has more options for SMS notifications, like you can set a really long vibration. Just remember to then go into the Android messaging app and turn off notifications there, otherwise you'll get double notifications. This will only help fix the problem for SMS messages. I think android still sucks on incoming notifications for other items like emails, etc.
I REALLY like SMS Popup, its great.
whats the best custom setting. i am trying to set it so it virbates alot and i can feel it
Is there a way to differentiate and turn off the gmail notification
from the SMS notification?
I am missing text messages because I don't want the other notification.
Thanks
In settings->sound->ringtones and notifications you can change 'default notifications' and 'SMS' received'. That should help you differentiate the two sounds.

I wish. 'default notifications' only.
Tried message and mail apps. settings, they are there but changing them do nothing.
After some More googling found Tone Picker app that lets me make an mp3 into a notifications for 'SMS' received' but have to turn data off so I don't get email and news notifications.
If anyone finds any thing better please let me know.
What phone and Android version are you using?
Moto Photon, stock Gingerbread, rooted with cwm bootstrap
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
open Gmail app->menu->label settings
notification settings should be there. i'm on ICS so i hope it's the same for you. best of luck.
After I install custom roms i notice that my phonr no longer vibrates for incoming calls and texts.

Make sure it's set to vibrate in each individual app and not just the general settings. I've had certain apps do this before but it was because vibrate was turned off in the settings for the app.

Just go into which ever app you aren't getting the notification results you are looking for. Go into the settings for that app. Most apps will have their own settings for notifications in there. You can select custom sounds that will be specific for that app, as well as the option for vibration for received notifications.
I can't find a way to setup a unique text notification sound for individual contacts.
In the contacts app, I see an option for Ringtone but nothing for texts.
Is this simply not possible?
Don't have any way to test rn, but from what I can tell if you go thru the messaging app and open the people and options of a contact you've been messaging, there's an option to change from notification there.

Yeah there is an option through the texting apps themselves, but I can see to get it working. I can set them up, and the only one that comes through is the one a set up through settings, doing, SMS
Signal lets you set different tones per contact.
I am using Google Phone and Contacts app (Samsung apps are terrible to use, although they look better).
When receiving a phone call, on top of the full screen page I see a notification popup: how can I disable it?
If I go into app's notification settings, all is enabled but greyed out, so cannot change.
Thx
Anyone here?

click on right arrow and disable notification
As said, not possible, all greyed out and default to on
You could try with Auto Notification and Tasker
Do you have Google dialer installed? Can you show me how your notification settings look like (enabled or greyed out)?
They are greyed out on Samsung dialer too
I know why... Google is forcing some properties to fixed so that users cannot change notifications. Problem is that they should fix this behaviour which I believe is a bug.
Strange cos my Xiaomi phone does not have this problem: same app version, same settings greyed out.

Can you pls try to also set phone app as default for calls and ask some one to call you, to see if you get the notification? Keep screen off when waiting the incoming call, and try several times.
Thanks

I'm getting the notification. Always did
Strange... It shouldn't be there
Maybe it's because of "floating notifications" in settings. Check it.
By the way I get a similar notification while in another call/Viber call/Skype call even with Samsung dialer.
Google dialer is fugly.
NO, floating notification is to enable the floating popup when minimizing the dialer.
It seems as if when receiving the call with screen off, Google dialer detects the screen is already on, this displaying the full screen + the popup. As a matter of fact sometimes the popup does not show, but when it does (most of the times) it's annoying as hides that caller's nam

I have also had this issue for a while now, and could never figure out how to fix it either. I finally decided to try turning off the "Appear on top" permission setting in the app info section of the phone app. That seems to have done the trick, as now I only get the top pop up when I get an incoming call, then when I answer it goes to the full screen portion like normal. Maybe give that a try and see if it works for you.
