[Q] Notifications go silent on the Skyrocket

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!

I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.

The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

How to stop notification sound when receiving a text

Hello,
My phone is on a montioring system that sends me a text when a system is having a problem. I need the alarm to be long and loud so I am positive to hear it even if sleeping. My problem is when I get one I want it to automatically stop making noise if I pick up my phone, sweep the screen saver or anything that indicates I'm going to look at the message.
How do I stop the text notification noise if I'm actually looking at my phone?
Thanks

Thanks -no app - just native text messaging notification. I changed the default sound for text messages to a long loud notifications so I respond to emergency texts. I just want to be able to quickly shut them off when I get them.

Well after messing with the native messaging app I've come to the conclusion that its not that great
I'm running Verizon messaging when you hit the popup it kills the notification sound
It tried the kill service app but you cant kill what you can't see running

I don't know if this works for text messages but have you tried the 'turn over to mute' in motion settings? it works great for incoming phone calls.

Vibration for Notifications not working

Ok, I've seen this issue as fairly common, but can't gets it to work. It's a GS3 completely stock running 4.0.2 and I've had it all of 3 days.
Majority of the issues others are having are with not having notification vibration on in messaging settings, which I have triple checked to be on. Sounds settings are all set for vibrate always as well, but it still won't vibrate for any messages or notifications other than calls. It isn't affected by the call/notification volume being on or off either.
It's starting to get frustrating, so if anyone has any suggestions or can give me some direction, it would best greatly appreciated. Also, I think I posted this in the right place and I couldn't find anything similar so I apologize if this has been covered.

Had the same issue. open messages and then (menu)>settings. scroll down to notification settings>vibrate and change to always or in silent mode.
that solved it for me.

I have them messages notifications on vibrate and it still doesn't vibrate.

Sound and vibration musted be checked in system sound settings.

It is. :/
Still no notification vibration regardless of "silent mode" status (it can be silent, vibrate only, or silent off- no vibration regardless).

Stupid question...is your vibration intensity down all the way for any of the 3 options?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Nope- incoming call and notification are maxed and haptic feedback is about halfway.

Getting the LED Notification Light to Work?

Has anyone got the LED notification light to work?
I can confirm mine works when using 3rd party apps, but shouldn't it come on when screen is locked and a new sms is received? Maybe there is a setting I am missing somewhere?

Mine was blinking this morning for emails. Its very bright.

download the app Light Flow

I wasn't getting any LED notifications at all, I also tried Light Flow lite and it didn't work. The paid version however works for me, but you have to enable the "Pulse notification light" setting in the Android Display settings menu.
edit. Actually not sure if the notifications are actually triggering the LED yet. The test inside Flight Flow worked with the different colours though.
edit2. OK, yep all seems to be working fine for me.

Its in the settings
Settings>Display>Pulse Notification Light

I'm also using Light Flow but for some reason it ignores my settings like "LED always on".
It just keeps blinking
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If you are using Lightflow make sure you also turn on the notification listener for it.

Yeah, LIghtFlow looks promising.
I did notice at one point it kept flashing the LED even after i had cleared the notification though. However I read somewhere on here a message by the developer of the app, who said he is busy working on a new version for the nexus 5 which may even be out this week.
Think it included additional fixes LED staying on constantly and better support for the Hangouts app. Looks good.

Where did you read this? What is his username? Sounds good!

With the LED option enabled in the default settings, I was able to get a notification pulse for getting an email in my gmail primary folder. It takes about 10 seconds in between pulses.

I just received my replacement phone after the first one has speaker issues and now the LED will not work at all on this way.
I've tried light flow etc with the same settings that worked on the old phone and nothing. Thinking of just getting a refund now...

Someone please tell me: Will the LED notification work WITHOUT a third party app installed?
I too can not see any lit notifications at all. Settings are correct, "pulse notification" on, nothing... no notifications on text, email, missed call, nothing.
If an outside app is needed for the light to work, that is the most absurd thing ever...

lite flow is still VERY buggy on the N5 despite his latest update saying "N5 support"
only works sometimes for email and almost never for hangouts. Plus you cant have a different color for MMS in hangouts.
Even with "run in foreground" enabled it still doesn't work reliably

What kind of colors are guys seeing? I'm using Light Flow Lite for now and when I do the all enabled LED Test, it cycles through:
orange
teal
red
green
blue
and then back to orange.
I thought I saw others getting other colors like yellow, purple, and white to name a few. Is it because I have the free version and/or maybe issues with 4.4?

Only works for me when I have an unread message on whatsapp.
Hangouts and emails and also missed calls don't switch the led light on my nexus 5 which I do find so strange

Mine only work now with using light flow. Don't get why. But at least it works.

Stock LED settings are horrible, however, I installed lightflow and noticed a SMS message sent to a 4 digit # right after (light flow was the only app with access to those permissions and the text was sent at the time it was installed). No thanks.

It does work though you need to check if it's activated in
Settings > Display > LED thingy (don't have english settings).
Lightflow does give you more control. Also it seems the N5 can't have the LED always on, only blinking mode

Am I the only one that doesnt see the display settings anywhere?

Thanks yes I did have the settings checked properly. Light did not work. Installed Light Flow, made sure everything was set right, still did not work even on test mode. Oh well guess it's defective. I've had enough annoyances with this device, it's going back...

Alert Slider Customization for OxygenOS 3

Hey Guys,
i guess the most of u know the app "Vibrate Mode" from the Oneplus 2. And maybe u also know this app doesnt work anymore.
It seems like there is a method to get those features by using tasker, but i dont like this, since it is still buggy.
Maybe we can reach a dev, who can bring the "Vibrate Mode App" features back to the Oneplus 3, using OxygenOS and root/xposed.
I think there are really really much people out there, which would like to have the ability to change the alert slider to "all - vibrate - silent".
Since this is the only logical function imo. :cyclops:
Please push this thread to heaven, so we maybe get some dev's to work on this! :good:
Cheers!

I've already contacted the devs that made the previous mods. No reply

Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nqk.vibratemodeextended
And in settings allow all contacts in alert slider > priority
Works for me
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

If some dev happens to read this I'd love to have more features with the slider. For example best for me would be Normal - Flashlight - Silent etc.
Let's hope someone does this
There's already one xposed module (Alert slider) but it's old and not supporting op3.

for me VibrateMode works perfectly...

Same issue. When sliding back down from Silent to All, it remains in Vibrate :\

I can confirm Tasker works, and should remedy the issue of it remaining on vibrate. I'm now waiting for a way to reverse the slider, and I'm sure a free solution will come along soon enough too.

try the beta for oos3. it works for me

I can confirm this work!!! Now just an option to revert.

Are you sure it works? I have tried all the builds and I'm pretty sure this build was the closest as it worked correctly. However, every so often it doesn't go into vibrate mode or doesn't restore the volume level.
