I remember some custom ROMs allows us to adjust the strength of vibration especially when we receive notifications.
Is there any way to do this for our JB stock ROMs?
SMS wakes me up at night...
The only way I know how is a third party app like LightFlow. This option might not be available in the 'lite' version, I can't remember...
I doubt that you can change the strength, just the duration. The phone vibrates by spinning a motor with an off balance weight attached to it. Unless there are two motors with different weights (never seen a phone with more than one,) you can't change how hard the phone vibrates.
Why not use a program like Tasker or Locale to turn off vibrate after you go to bed? You can get very granular with it, for example you can set it to silence SMS notifications when you're at home between certain hours on certain days of the week.

Couldn't tweaking voltage applied to vibrator make it spin faster or slower wich would in turn change vibration strength? Just a thought (which would probably require a change in the kernel)

Hello,
I am searching for a way to automatically set vibration from 8am to 5pm (during work).
Like the sense option to automatically set to vibrate during appointment but without having to set an appointment for work everyday, it would look to confusing.
Do you have any ideas?

There's an app called Mute4 that will set your phone to vibrate for up to 3 h; maybe you could ask the developer to increase the mute time to 9 h, or have it adjustable. Otherwise, you can definitely do it with SK Schema.
I used to have a program on my old blueangel that used to allow me to change ring tones etc according to which cell tower i was in, I think it also had a time based scheduler)
Give me a couple of days and I will try to find it.
The downside was that it sucked the battery (back in the wm2003 days)

You can change profile based on time and (in paid for version) location
Sorry if this has already been asked but is there a way to disable or mute notifications between certain times? Or at least email? This way the phone doesnt go off when I am asleep.
I use Sound Manager. Gives you the option to set the volume levels for media, system, notifications, etc and to set schedules for any of these. I use it to set my notification volume down low after 2:00am and to come back up to high volume around 8:00am and so far has worked just fine.
Tasker works great for this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Tasker probably can do that but its a ready complicated learning curve imo
Tasker rocks..definitely worth it...
I have the same thing..here is how to set it up in Tasker...
From 23:00 Til 07:00
Silent Mode On
That's it...
I also have it setup for an exception that if one of two people call me from work then it overrides and rings...
I have done a ton of stuff with Tasker -- like turning phone to vibrate during meetings, turning on gps automatically when I run certain programs (and then turn it off again when I close them), Play a sound when the plug becomes disconnected while charging, change the screen turnoff time when phone is charging, etc..
If you can't tell I love it.
Another plug for Tasker. It is awesome. The MacGyver part of my signature is brought to you in part by Tasker. And the letter A, for Awesome.
If Tasker seems hard to get into, check out their site for info: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
A really nice use I have for it is automatically adjusting my screen brightness when plugged/unplugged.

Tasker does have a bit of a learning curve and if it's just simply turning off notifications, there are probably simpler solutions. But I love Tasker to bits. I have it set so between my usual bedtime hours, the phone goes silent, Screen Filter activates and dims it way down and Orientation turns off so I can lay down and read without it turning into landscape. I seem to always be finding new things to add and tinker.
Also recently added a function where the screen timeout goes away when Maps is activated. Got tired of losing the lock because it takes so darn long to get it back!
I use Volume Toggle - it is free (ad supported) and it has a bunch of different profiles you can customize.
It has a companion program "Volume Timer" (also free) that lets you set days and times for each profile.
I used to use Sound Manager but it decided to stop working, even after re-installing it still decided to quit after using it awhile.
I now use AudioGuru, it works great for scheduling volume settings for anything on your phone (System, Alarm, Ringer, Notifications, etc). Very easy to use and hasn't failed me yet. Recommended.
I use Silent Time Lite. It is free from the App Store and is very simple to use.
Sweet Dreams is available on the market and works great. Easy to use.
Thanks all, Tasker looks like it rocks. I will get it loaded. I like the "if bluetooth connected then read outloud the text messages", this way whenever I am in my car, it will read the tm! thats sweet.
So I've noticed that the notification light only stays lit for a certain amount of time. It was like that when I was stock and is the same now for running das bamf. Is there anyway to change this. It seems it will blink for ~10 min for a text or what not and then it goes out. This is annoying because it makes me have to turn the screen on more often then I would like just to check to see if I have a text message. Is there anyway to change this amount of time?
Yeah, thats how it is. Most people always have their phone on them. So if you haven't been around you phone for more than 10 mins, the first thing most people do when they "get back" to their phone is turn the screen on.
Is it really that much of an annoyance? 1 button press?
No, its not but I've come accustomed to my OG droid notifciation light and if you know about that phones notification light, its superb and with a quick look at that phone from a distance you can see if you have a notification or not. I've been fine with it so far but it would be nice if it was longer.
The notification light can save battery throughout a day if you don't have to turn the screen on all the time just to check for a notification.
The notification light on the TB is so insignificant, I forget it even has one most of the time. It isnt normal for a phone to have such a small notification light or only have 2 colors (look at other phones like blackberries or even other android phones). However, you get used to it and check your phone without it.

I was the same way with my Nexus One. It's the one thing I miss and hate about the Tbolt. You cannot count on being able to check the notification light to see if you have messages. You HAVE to turn it on to be sure. I really wish HTC would start using a standardized, well engineered notification light on all devices. Then let users turn it off if they don't like it.
I actually came up with a small fix for myself when I'm at home. I mounted one of my Nexus Ones under my plasma(just so that the trackball is showing) then I muted all sounds. At least now if I am at home I generally am alerted visually if I have messages waiting.
Arrow Notification light goes out after certain amount of time, normal?Arrow
I too need a notification light as I do not like turning the phone on and off to see if I missed something. So I found NoLed which has been a lifesaver. It turns on your screen if you missed a call, sms, email, etc. I thought it would kill the battery, but no it really doesn't. You can even schedule when the app will go on and off. Big, Big fan.

just installed this. This looks awesome!! As long it doesn't drain the battery like you said, this will be an incredible app. thanks for the heads up.
I've been searching for a led notification substitute and the only ones I've found so far are: BLN (needs custom kernel...); NoLed and others like it, which have to power up the screen all the time (mine is the slcd version, so each time it eats up battery, despite the black screen).
Is there any program or workaround to set up the phone like this:
-SMS/Call/Mail is received.
-the normal sound alert plays.
-if you don't open whatever-it-is-that-you-received, the phone keeps playing a tone at regular intervals.
Use this notification flash app, but turn off the flashing and just use the reminder vibrate/tones.

Another app is missed reminders on market
Thanks. For the moment I'm using Missed Message Flasher and set the phone to use only vibrations. It works just fine
Our stock rom has an annoying chirp that beeps when the battery is full...this is especially annoying at 2am. Occasionally the charge amount drops to 99 even while on the charger if you happen to be doing alot of things at the same time with the phone (wifi, bluetooth etc so not necessarily you right in front of the phone) and it will chirp again.
I wish to KILL THE CRICKET.
Apparently it's not a simple matter since the battery full sound is actually usually coded right into the system ui so it requires someone capable of modding it.
The usual methods such as xposed modules gravity box or more the more specific one "Disable Battery Alert" do NOT work since they were mainly designed to stop Samsung devices that also make this annoying chirp.
*update*
My workaround for the time being was to create a tasker profile for when the battery level is between 99 and 100 and it's plugged into power to mute the notification volume..this does not affect ringer volume...when either of the two conditions changes the notification is set back to the default level. Typically the time from 99 to 100 is only a very short period of time so this works for me for now.

Yet another "workaround"...depending on your specific needs for audible notifications. Myself, I only NEED messages - anything else can wait. So for me, I simply created a dead air ringtone and set it as my default notification tone. And assigned another tone to Messaging. Problem solved.
