I've recently sideloaded 5.0.1 and just found out this morning how annoying the volume controls are. There is literally no way to receive notifications without a vibration or text tone. I want to be able to keep my phone on silent and still receive notifications like I did in 4.4.4. Are there any ROMs or anything that will help me do this?
What was Google thinking really..

Its the same as pre-Lollipop, just a couple things renamed and a bunch of extra stuff added. Read the whole thing here: A Guide to Lollipop Notification Settings

You have to options. Quite a few toggle widget apps still let silent mode be enabled. Or flash cataclysm rom as this also has silent mode plus other good additions to stock rom

Cataclysm has a proper silent mode if you need it. Personally I think the standard system is fine, you just need to adjust.

I have a stock Froyo 2.2 Captivate. For the past month or two, whenever my phone is in vibrate only mode, the phone vibrates for phone calls, but does not vibrate properly for Gmail notifications. Specifically, if I'm holding the phone in my hand when a gmail arrives, I see the notification in the notification bar and feel the most slight millisecond vibration of the phone. I've tried checking general sound settings, gmail settings, and downloaded "Sound Manager" without any luck.
Somehow, it seems that the default vibrate has went from a long bold buzz to this slight millisecond buzz and I haven't found a way to get that back. I know you can customize those settings in specific situations with software such as HandCent but I don't know about fixing the general default vibrate buzz...
Any ideas for troubleshooting? Anyone with a solution?
Thanks!
There are separate notification settings for gmail...have you turned on vibration there?
Sent from my Cappy
Yea, the gmail settings are set for vibration.
and technically i'm getting vibration notifications, but the vibration is so slight and so short that I can only feel it if i'm holding the phone in my hand. settings> sound> vibration settings look normal and I can feel vibration with incoming phone calls but the vibrations for notifications are nearly imperceptible.
Ideas?
No one hear of this problem? Anywhere else I could look for solutions? I haven't been able to find anything about it around the web...

i have the same problem..no vibration settings for gmail!! i remember i could find them a couple of months ago...weird
For anyone coming across this problem:
After updating to the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 firmware, the problem resolved automatically and vibration notification are all working properly again. I still don't know what the problem was and if it was possible to fix it without flashing the firmware, but apparently that is one way to fix it.
I remember having the same issue on 2.2 with my phone too. I ended up downing a different gmail app that had a better vibration setting. But yah now with gingerbread that app wasnt needed anymore.
I guess I'm the odd one, I had no problems until I updated to the 2.3.5
[Q] MOD/App to get rid of the new "priority" modes and "Heads up" notifs.?
Hi, since we have android L we have the new None/priority/all modes for notifications, we can't decide whether to disable sound but keep vibration, disable sound and vibration or keep them all on as in previous android versions...
Also, sometimes the Heads-up notification system is very annoying.. for example while gaming or writting in horizontal mode...
Is there any mod or app to customize this?
I just want the old system
Yea it's called cataclysm rom

It seems that we would have to wait till 5.1 arrived. Google simply forget what is the point of an alarm.

Vibrate = vol down all the way
Silent = Priority mode, but extra feature letting you whitelist apps from being silenced
None = new mode where absolutely everything is silenced including alarms

New modes are bull****, the old way was better...
I suggest the old way plus (apps that sound or vibrate even if you have silenced the device)...

Its the same as the old way. The only difference is renamed strings, addition of app-specific whitelist functionality for silent (Priority) (which you don't have to use and can just use it as silent), and a new mode called None that silences everything including alarms. Oh and option to let you automatically unsilence after x hours. Nothing else has changed.

We know that, Lethargy. We are looking for the way it won't work like at your description.
The main problem (for mine opinion) is that we can't use this new settings, because there is not option to exclude an alarm from None mode.

Cataclysm is stock rom with mods. Exactly that. I think it has 5 modified files off stock rom making it what it is
i get a notification sound for my 1st message but when i in the conversation , it doesn't play a sound for each message after that as long as i am on the active conversation window.
is there a ways to have the s6 play the notification sound for every new message received i cant seem to locate this option.
good question. I'm actually wondering the same thing. If you have text messaging app active, then you get no sound notification at all when new texts come in. Very annoying especially when your screen is off.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.
yes , I hope a fix will comes soon , I thought there used to be an option for it
just a bump , anyone know if a way or workaround for this yet ?

I would recommend going into the stock recovery and manually wipe the phone. Before that try to wipe the cache partition first, that usual resolves issues with applications.
No its not just my device as my friend on lollipop 5.0 s5 also has the same issue. it has be somthing else like on KitKat it used to have an option to notify for every new message however I can't find that option in Lollipop

Hi, I have an unlocked s7 and the latest update still hasnt fixed notifications. I don't get led notifications from whatsapp, and even worse, it now vibrates even if vibrate is off and whatsapp is set to silent. Help please! Thanks

Sounds familiar. Google or search for another thread here on xda about the notifications and download the file '1 second of silence'. Put that file in your notifications folder in the phone's memory and select it in whatsapp. And your led notifications will be back.
Thanks. Clever hack. I'll try it, though my main problem now is that i get VIBRATION notifications even when vibrate is off...
Now just how useless have samsung developers have to be NOT to fix such glaring flaws?
After the Oreo update, any (or almost any) notification shown triggers an notification 'ding', even though Settings → Sound & notification → Default notification sound is set to Silent. Before update, I had everything on silent, only incoming texts on vibrate and calendar notifications with sound, other notifications I would only notice visually (LED or notifications bar/drawer).
I'm sure Gmail app and HTC Sense now do a sound even though they shouldn't and no setting was changed. I even tried setting "Default notification sound" to some sound and back to Silent, and still there is a sound.
Any suggestion how to make my phone silent again?
You can set it for every single App via settings > apps > appname > notifications. Or by settings > sound and notifications > advanced > notifications.

well, that's what I'm trying to avoid - there's a lot of apps there, don't wanna spend an hour disabling them one by one. On Nougat it worked universally.
Thinking of it, I'm looking for per-app whitelisting of notification sounds, instead of blacklisting them. If not possible, which I think is a design flaw, I guess I'll have to cover each app individually.
I can reproduce that but I'm ok with it. Have you tried something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fnp.audioprofiles or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft ?

This is kind of overkill for me. I guess in the end I'll just disable Gmail and some others and it will be enough. Thanks for the tip though, didn't know this was possible w/o root!
Just, backup you data, flash the RUU, and set it up again. I always get some random bug when updating via OTA only...

I'm sure factory reset would work just as well, but that's the other thing I wanted to avoid, restoring backups is usually a long and bothersome process for me. This is the only bug I'm experiencing without an obvious quick fix so far and actually the first OTA with any problem for me and my U11, so I guess I'll keep using the system as is.
The easiest way to do this is get a silent/empty notification track and set that as the default notification sound. That way android thinks it's playing a sound but isn't. Then set a different notification sound for apps you do want to hear.
