[Q] notifcations won't vibrate, any fix?

I recently just flashed the embryo 5.4 rom and its a great but the only problem is I can't make the notifcations vibrate for anything. I've made sure the vibrate function is enabled everywhere ( under the settings, messaging app, etc) the intensity is all the way up and still nothing. I also have the vibrate on screen tap funtion on and that doesn't seem to work either. I've flahsed this over twice already, no reboots fix it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I've searched around on here and the web but no answers

Not sure if this ROM has profiles, but I had a similar problem with CM9 a while back. Turns out I had enabled a nighttime profile by accident, and everything was set as normal, except I had vibrate disabled for notifications. Once I disabled and deleted all those profiles, everything was back to normal.

Ive been having the same issue with only SMS notifications. All others will sound/vibe normally.
Flash 5.0 base = working vibe on sms
Update 5.4= no vibe on sms
Any possible solution? Md5 checks OK.

Thanks for replying!
Everything else works fine but when I go to 'Manage Panels' and tap on 'Tap here to download panels' nothing happens. It makes the 'bloop' sound like it acknowledges the tap but nothing comes up. The only thing I tried is restarting the phone, but nothing happens when I try to download panels it just sits on the manage panels screen.
I'm going to try the reset, do you know how to do it on this phone ?

right outta the box I disabled a bunch of apps that I thought I was never going to use(considered to be bloatware) and galaxy apps was in the disabled apps, once I enabled it the option worked
thanks again

It's been happening to me occasionally also. If I go into settings and turn it off and back on it starts working again. But then I have to do it all over again within an hour.

Yep, that's similar to what I'm experiencing. Are you using the setting in gestures, or the setting in display > ambient display?

Yes. The "pick up your phone to show" setting doesn't work either.

I'm on the TMobile 7 Pro, have an update to 9.5.5.

Neither Double Tap to Wake... Nor Single Tap to Show in Ambient Display.. Not any other Quick Gestures like Draw O for Camera and all.. Nothing is Working... Is there a fault with the device or Software Update??

Simple answer for now, try factory reset, no ideal but then we can try something else

Hope not having any issues with on screen /off screen gesture as I'm using quite offen every day and really one of my favorite feature.
On Vivo smartphone I'm having one year now it's working brilliantly so far, hope OP the same excellent results as Vivo.
It would be totally frustrating if had any kind issues with 7 Pro gestures.

That's not good for a brand new phone out of box...

I'm having the same problem. Clearing the cache in recovery does nothing. I think it may be related to ambient light. Screen off gestures seem to work much better in well lit areas.

I've not had any issues at all since Tuesday when I got the device. Try booting into the recovery and wiping the cache. Could save you some trouble?

A factory reset resolved it for me.

i am facing same problems as you have been nothing works double tap to wake and single tap to show as well as draw patterns for apps nothing works. i have tried wiping cache and factory reseted it too once. i think its a software issue i hope they fix it soon

People apparently can not read. The OP just said factory reset worked just fine and people still keep saying the same things. SMMFH So unless you tried factory reset... no point in continuing to frakin post

So I have had OP7P Since Wednesday and I started to notice these problems about 6 hours in. Problems occurred prior to accepting the Out of Box update, after the update, after a factory reset. Restarting/Shut Down does not resolve the problem.
Lose of functionality are;
Double Tap to Wake
Ambient Display/Single Tap to Wake/New Notification
Gestures
Coming from the OP6T the solution previously that worked was to;
Settings->Apps->See All Apps->Menu (Shows System Apps)->Ambient Display->Storage->Clear Cache->Restart Phone
This solved the problem for about several hours. Going back into display setting and toggling Double Tap to Wake a couple of times sometimes restored functionality.
I have noticed that if my phone is in my pocket for some time and when I pull it out it won't respond. It feels like it has to think about whether it is still in my pocket or not. The times that it stopped working I've had to set my phone on a table or flat surface for about a minute or 2 and then pick it up. Thats when things will function as intended.
I have so far factory reset twice already and while it does solve it then and there the issue will arise again.

As for me it was working without any problem since the day I bought the phone but 9.5.9 broke it. Now I cannot make it work. I've tried xXX rom as well as Smurf Kernel and both didn't help.
Reverting back to 9.5.8 solved the problem... waiting for 9.5.9 FIX.

Tap to wake stopped working after the last update....

No, both DT2W and tap to show screen work fine :good:

Phone vibrates when I pick it up.

Well, as the title says, everytime I pick up my phone I feel a little vibration (and no, I don't have the "smart alert" thing turned on). I tried not to be worried about it but I can't not notice it. Any ideas?

I get this too if I have missed calls. I turned off the settings in phone app and it still does it.

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Did you follow the steps i suggested ?

Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...

I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

Well, I've checked all that and nothing, I don't even have the compass edge panel. But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck

Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are

Nice catch

Yeah, I installed it yesterday. But no vibrations are registered there so honestly I don't even know what to think now.
On the other hand when I switched from my note 10 plus I used smart switch, and now I'm thinking I should do a fresh start on my n20U.

Exactly check if you have Notistar from good lock switched on. That cache might need clearing.

I just go with it lol. I'm nutz. I'll feel my **** vibrate in my pocket when its sitting on the table. So I don't pay much mind to phantom vibrations. ???

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.

Question Back button doesn't work as back gesture

Hi all, from some days I have a strange issue. Back button doesn't work if I set back gesture, but if I choose multitasking it works fine.
Already rebooted but nothing. On a Facebook group, another person tell me that has same problem, but whit a reboot it works for some time.
Someone other with this issue?

Same issue here from time to time, reboot normally makes back button work again.
