I rooted my Verizon SGS3 a few days ago. Before rooting, I remember it was bugging me that it wouldn't vibrate for incoming txt msgs, whether in normal, vibe mode or silent mode. Then I found out I had to go to the messaging app settings, and under "Notifications" on the bottom there was an option to enable vibration for messages, "always", "only on silent" and "never". After I rooted, I never checked that again since it worked fine and I had vibration notification for messages. After root though, I did a few other things, among those disabled constant wifi notification with SQLite, turned of the wifi pop-up, installed volume+ to increase volume (which also added "music effects" under sound settings), and patched "audio_effects" (/system/etc) from inside root tools in volume+ (didn't backup original audio_effects file though).
Anyway, I just went back into messaging settings to change something else, and noticed under "Notifications" in the stock messaging app, there is no longer any option to change vibration settings. Is that something that is missing because of something different in the root /system partition (I used a fully STOCK root image by the way, then removed things on my own), or is it because of something I did after rooting? I just never checked under messaging settings immediately after root, so I don't know what exactly caused it.
If anyone has a stock rooted, or stock unrooted Verizon SGS3, please go to the main page in messaging, hit the menu button and go to settings, scroll all the way down, and post here what "Notification" options you have. I only have "Notification" with a checkmark, and "Select ringtone", I know there were more options before. If somehow I'm mistaking, would the vibration notification option for messaging be somewhere else?
Thank you
I have it in the Messaging settings page under Notifications "Vibrate". Make sure that you are in the messages list window where it shows all of your messages, and not viewing an individual thread.
Yes, I am in the main messaging window that shows a list of threads, not in any specific thread. That's the only window that gives you the "Settings" option with the menu button. I knew it used to be there.
So you have 3 options: "Notification", "Ringtone" and "Vibration"?
I just went back to the original Nandroid backup I made immediately after root, and vibrations is not available there either, so rooting must have somehow removed that option from settings.
Are you rooted or stock unrooted?
Thank you

Does anyone know how to turn these off? I remember reading the advice on how to do this, and now I can't find it.
I get the audio notification, but then, I have to go and drag down on the toolbar to show notifications and then tap the one for the latest sms, even if I've already answered it.
I'd like to know how to NOT have toolbar (taskbar?) notifications trigger with every sms.
I think going into the app, menu, settings, notification settings, and checking "privacy mode" will get you what you want...
For the life of me I can't figure out why I am getting two notifications for every SMS I receive. I have menu->settings->sound and display->notification ringtone set to Silent
I have Handcent SMS instaleld set to "Tweeters". When I get a SMS it plays "Ta Da" and then a second later plays "Tweeters".
When I turn Handcents SMS notification, I only get "Ta Da".
I uninstalled built in messaging with titanium backup hoping that might solve it, I have no other sms app installed that I know of. How can I turn this sound off? Getting two notifications for every SMS is driving me NUTS!

Not sure if you can undo this now that you uninstalled the built-in messaging. If you still had it you would just open the messaging app and click on the menu->settings and under Notification settings uncheck the Notifications option. Now it would seem that you are in a limbo state since you uninstalled the stock messaging app.
You might have to restore a backup or reflash the stock ROM using Odin3 to get it into a state where you can turn of the stock messaging notifications.
if you go into your messages. go back to the screen where you can see all your messages. Click menu, then settings, then look for notification settings.
Anyone have the messaging apk they don't mind sharing? Titanium backup won't seem to restore it. I'd rather not completely undo everything I've done to date.
Alternatively is there a config file somewhere that would keep this? In winmo there was a registry I could go clean manually if needed.
Peter
Not sure about the config file or the apk, but as for titanium it won't restore if you didn't back it up before you deleted it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
U dont need to delete messaging app just open messaging app click on settings go to where is says auto retrieve and uncheck it. then go to handcent goto settings and make sure auto retreive is checked now only youll get one notification
zorphnog: I did a complete backup before deleting, titanium still won't restore it.
Anyone want to back theirs up and send me the file?
vinid: I understood exactly what you said, however I had already deleted messaging trying to get rid of the tone.
Now I am stuck with a phone that beeps twice. I can't imagined that there isn't a file somewhere that can be edited to remove this notification.

I accidentally blocked notification of my gmail app in lollipop 5.0.1
Now I can't ger the notification back and I get no email notification
I long pressed the gmail notification and pressed the silent button as shown in image attached
Please help me unblock the notification for my gmail
Just follow the selections I screenshotted .
First you need to go into Settings and go into Sound & Notifications.
Now go into App Notifications
Scroll through your apps until you see GMail and open it.
Make sure both options are switched off for you, like mine.
Let me know if this worked or not.
Both are unticked but still no notifications from GMAIL...
Try this, open Gmail. Go into the navigation drawer and open Settings. From there select your account and see if the "notifications" option is enabled.
Once done, go back and go into "inbox sound & vibrate" and again make sure notifications is enabled. Once thats done, and if it still doesn't work. Go back into "inbox sound & vibrate and enable "notify for every message".
Let me know if this works.
No effect.
I guess its something related to the silent button highlighted in the image attached in the first post...that I accidentally used.
I figured it out...it was related to filter notifications
It can be removed from filter list in
Settings >privacy >filter notification
Done
Thnxx fr ur tym bdw

No worries, its good that your figured it out. Perhaps I'll remember this in case I manage to do this lol.
When I see that I have a text message indicated by either the notification light or the sony style cover window I will open the cover on my phone but the text message on the lock screen is removed almost immediately not allowing me any time to actually read the message. Has anybody else experienced this?
I've noticed that notifications from other apps will remain on the lockscreen, it just seems to be the messenging apps notifications that disappear (I'm using Xperia default messenging app).
For me to read the text message I have to unlock my phone and open the app...I would expect that it should remain on the lockscreen so that I could at least read the message - therefore allowing me to decide if I need to unlock the phone if I want to respond.
Is this something that can be changed in the phone settings somewhere...or is it a glitch? Anybody else notice this?
Thanks!
I believe I just found the answer to my own question... See attached setting
Even with the setting ON (refer to image in post above) this problem continues...
Go to settings, sound & notification, app notification. There choose all and search for Messaging. Untick block.
Thanks for the reply...I checked that setting and the block setting was already ticked off...?
i have the same problem with my galaxy s7 but the problem is still there. any help?
It has been like this for awhile, but it hasn't really been bothering me I guess until now I realized the importance of it, which I should of done this long ago cause it's been like this for a couple of months. Notifications are on, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
So, with notiication, do you mean just the sound and vibration? Or also the message in the upper tray?
It's not much information. So here are some possibilities:
- you have installed a skin and have not selected any sounds.
- in the accessability men you have set: play no sounds/feedback at all (it's for deaf people)
- You have some kind of do not disturb mode on, without the notification in the tray saying so.
- You have backgrond syncing of, and now apps only sync when you use them. So you get no notification.
- sound settings and vibration settings are off (not likely of course)
- the phone is instructed to play notifications to another device (watch or some other bluetooth device)
- your phone is not working properly. Try to restore to factory default and see if it is something in the software, or hardware. If not working after reset, ==> waranty
EDIT: in the title you say: when I get a message. you mean text message? NOtification sounds can be changed. Sms messages can have their own sounds en settings. It's in the sound menu.

Alright this may help or not, but let's say you message me thru the default standard messaging thru the phone. Usually, the recipient would get a notification of that message, shortly after being sent depending on the area's signal. I, however do not get a notification, vibration, ring, I do not get anything that notifies me in any way that I got that message, so I could being doing whatever on my phone, receive an important message about work or something, and never know about it. However I do have Smart Launcher and the messaging icon does have notification numbers to the top left of it, but that doesn't help really.

Where did you check if notifications were enabled. In settings AND in the app itself? you can also try to clear cache and storage of the app.
Ok I'm dumb notifications were on when I went thru messaging, but when I went thru the application manager they weren't on. Honestly don't remember how that'd happened, but thanks for the help bro.
