Hi, after upgrading to Nougat (my phone uses an almost Vanilla Android), I can't set the WhatsApp notifications the way I've had them forever. In the past, no matter what mode was selected (sound, vibration or muted), when I received a message, the LED would turn on green, no sound, no vibration.
Now in Nougat, if the WhatsApp tone is set to "silence" (inside WhatsApp options), the LED won't work. Period.
1. If I select sound mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates and sounds. VERY inconvenient.
2. If I select vibrate mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates, equally inconvenient.
In all cases, the option "vibrate" in the WhatsApp options is OFF, but this option seems to be totally ignored.
Is this WhatsApp fault?
That means this happen to all of you as well.
Is this my phone's company fault?
That means this only happens to me because it's a bug of my ROM.
If I go to Android settings, Notifications and select the option "receive silent" notifications in WhatsApp, it is like selecting tone "silent" in WhatsApp, no LED, no sound, no vibration.
I'm quite pissed off of the new notification management of Nougat, it's so confuse and it was way simpler before.

My ringer is usually off and I can't keep looking at my screen (e.g., for NoLED) when I'm with patients. I've been unable to get vibration notifications of incoming text messages, although as far as I can tell I've selected everything to do with vibration in Settings.
Surely there's a way to get this that I'm missing.
in the sound settings, select vibrate and choose an option like vibrate only in silent mode or always. in the messages app, choose settings and select vibrate. choose vibrate only in silent mode or always

Right. I've done that (Vibrate Always in both Settings and Messaging), yet it doesn't vibrate for anything except calls.
be certain that notifications are enabled in the messaging app.
there was a similar problem on a couple htc phones i had. i used a program from the market called 'sound manager', i believe it was. then i set everything the way i wanted it, did a test and vibrate worked. then when i deleted the sound manager app the settings stuck and my messages still alerted via vibration. good luck.
I'm starting to think this might be a Gingerbread bug, man, cuz I don't get vibrations on text either
I used to think it was CM7 but I have the same problem on stock.
Running rooted stock ICS on this one. Notifications from the stock SMS messenger worked fine - phone will vibrate.
When I get a notification from either Textra or Kik, it won't vibrate. If I have sound on, I will get the notification sound (and vibration, since I have "sound and vibration" checked), and get the notification icon in the tray, so clearly it's *getting* the notification, it's just not vibrating when in "Vibrate" mode. Have already checked the Sound settings - vibration intensity for notification is all the way up. I'm stumped.
Is it possible to disable the vibrate notification when receiving e-mails (using the stock e-mail app)? I want the visual icon to show up in the notification bar with no sound, just NOT vibrate. I want to keep the vibrate notifications for MMS, calls, etc..just not e-mails. This seems like a simple request but I can't seem to figure it out.
If its anything like the Gmail app then open up settings, inside settings, click on your Address [email protected], Then its inside there...
( I don't use the email app, sorry.. just a thought )
Settings --> General --> Notifications --> Select corresponding account --> UNcheck "Vibration" (unchecked by default for me)

Thanks for your response. The "vibration" option is grey so I can't change it. It is off by default anyways, but it still vibrates.
This is driving me crazy. Any recommendations for a different email app?
Open email. Touch 3 dots in upper right hand corner. Touch settings. Open notifications. Select email account . Turn off vibration.

If you're like me and always keep your phone on vibrate, this is actually a far more annoying issue than you would imagine. (The same fix can be used for Google Hangouts.)
If vibrate is not currently enabled under notifications and your phone keeps vibrating at you, it's actually because of your notification sound. If you change the notification sound to "Silent", your phone will no longer vibrate.

Yes, I always keep my phone on vibrate. If I switch it to silent, wouldn't that disable the vibrate from sms and calls?
No, those will still vibrate. You don't want to switch the ring tone settings, just the notification sound for your email. Go into settings, notifications, and then for the notification sound select "Silent".
I was getting sound notifications a little while ago. Both call and text sound notifications as well as sounds for other apps.
I don't know what I did but it's all silent and not even any vibrations
I checked the toggle slider above the power button, and its in the bottom most position that indicates "ring".
Volume for Ring, Media, and Alarm are all at a level above 0, so I should hear something.
Settings>Apps & Notifications. I've checked various apps like messenger, textra (sms app), and notifications are "on".
Sorry for being an idiot.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Dnd was turned on automatically which started at 12pm, instead of 12am, by my mistake.
Don't know if this is an Android 11, a P4a, or a messages problem.
I cannot get the phone to both vibrate and make a sound when text messages (stock google messages app) come in. It will make a sound if my volume is on, vibrate if the volume is off (slider to lowest) but will not do both. I have the "Vibrate" option on in the notifications settings for the app. Calls will ring and vibrate, my alarm will ring and vibrate, but messages will not do both simultaneously.
Anyone else having this issue? Everything I've searched online says to ensure Vibrate is enabled in settings. It is.
Thoughts?
