These are 100% annoying.
Usually how you disable it is in the text app, hit menu > settings > emergency alerts and disable them all.
well when I hit emergency alerts, all that shows is a blank screen with no options. Is there any other way to diable these? Having them go off in meetings when my phone is on silent is not optimal...

I really need these turned off. All my sound levels are turned to zero except for the alarm one.
I had this same issue I went into earthquake alerts and unchecked that then went into emergency alerts a few times and the options finally showed up to disable.

Thanks for reply.
I tried to enter the emergency settings about 30 each for enabled and disabled earthquake alerts... still nothing.
http://m.androidcentral.com/sprint-...t-us-carrier-launch-wireless-emergency-alerts. Maybe this will help. Also make sure ring volume is up on the other suggestion.

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
how can we turn off vibration completely ?
It's extremely annoying to me, why there are no any options to disable it.
The only place where I want to have it only phone calls and messages.
I'd also like to know this.
Especially when double tapping to use face unlock it vibrates.
It does not vibrate when we use power button to start face-unlock.

Settings under sound and vibration you can disable it for taps and you can also change the intensity

those settings are not enough and do not turn off vibrations,
for example when I wake up the screen.

The only thing you could do, is to enable energy saving mode
I also want to untie the vibration to wake up the mobile .. it is very annoying.
Plus one here, I also find it stupid to not be able to completely disable vibration.
For SMS I suppose I can use a different SMS app like Textra, but for double tap and call begin I haven't found a solution.

For call begin
Go to contact app.
Press the 3 dots at top right corner... Settings.... You'll find the option to disable vibration when call connects.

What I wish would happen is if the alert slider is set to "silent" then vibration will be turned off. But if the alert slider is set to "vibrate" or "ring" the vibration will be turned back on.
Any idea on how to do this on a rooted OP6?
When the phone is flat on the table and a new message such as Whatsapp and Gmail come in, the pop up appears but the phone doesn't vibrate. I checked in the apps settings and they're set to vibrate for new notification. Any idea why the vibration isn't there?

Check in Setting - System - Accessibility, scroll all the way down and it's right about in the middle, vibration. Make sure it's on for ring and notification.

Yeah, it's on. Turns out it's just really weak when in a sandstone case. Getting skin for it this week instead so hopefully that'll help
No matter what settings I change, notifications don't work properly on this phone, Gmail doesn't work at all and other apps only work sometimes.
I've locked into memory, turned off freeze, turned off powerbsave
Is there anything else I can do?
Seems absolutely crazy to have paid almost there same money as a Samsung and yet having such fundamental issues.
Thanks
I'm with you here... Very hit and miss. Screen off and sometimes it notifies and sometimes it only notifies when you pick up the phone and wake it. Screen on and mostly it's ok but WhatsApp for example, when the screen is on it notifies but sometimes won't use the custom notification tone i set. Tried playing with the power saving settings and setting all the messaging and email apps to stay on in the background and same result.
Phone and text messages do seem ok tho.
Yeah it's so intermittent and such a large issue for such a expensive device
Never had this issue since I got the device

I have same issues. This morning I checked battery settings and some that I moved to always run in background, had moved back to smart, meaning phone could kill them. Not sure how they had moved

CAn you share your Gmail settings please?

I'm confused about the smart power saver option.
If I turn 'Smart Power Saver' OFF, then a new option appears. 'Custom Power Saver'.
If I go into 'Custom Power Saver' and I tap an app they appear to all be set to 'Smart Background Running(recommended)'. Is that the same as leaving 'Smart Power Saver' ON?
So I could just turn 'Smart Background Running' to 'Run in Background' for the apps I want, but leave the other apps at the default and it would be the same as 'Custom Power Saver'?
Is that correct?

That's how I read it, yes... but the issue is that its still hit and miss for notifications, even with run in background selected
Think I may have made a break through. In battery settings, choose/turn on 'intelligent power saver'. Then back into Settings and 'App Management' and 'App List' you can then set individual power settings for each app required, and it appears that these settings then actually 'stick', rather than randomly changing back to 'Smart Background Running'
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.
