Notifications vibrating - Epic 4G General

Is there a way I can have my notifications only vibrate in silent mode and not while I have ringer volume on? Just like how you can with the ring tone.

So you get no vibe for notifications in silent mode?

Change it in the messaging app.

Ok, maybe I worded my question wrong. As of right now, I have under the messaging settings to vibrate when notified. And in the general sound settings, I have vibrate only when in silent mode. Now, however, my messages still vibrate when not in silent mode along with playing the sound I have set for notifications where as my ring tone only vibrates while in silent mode and ONLY plays the ring tone when not in silent mode. How can I make it so my messages do not vibrate when not in silent mode and only vibrate when in silent mode.

You are going to have to toggle the messaging settings then. There is no one step solution for what you want. There used to be a vibrate option before silent but that is gone right now.

So there is no simple way to have the ringer and notification volume under the same setting so that they both only play the sound when not in silent mode and only vibrate when in silent mode? like a normal phone would?

Not anymore. Samsung thought it would be more versatile to have seperate settings Then they removed the vibe option just before silence and combined them. I believe there are third party apps that allow you to do a bunch of commands but I cannot remember what they are called. But no easy way other without another app.

Yup. Witnessed this earlier. I was sleeping and someone tore me out my zone when they called so I ignored it (on full volume) and they kept calling interrupting me so I held volume down to put it in silent mode so if they call back I can stay in lala land, but I didn't realize it was onvibate and I got another rude awakening. I then stood there continuously pressing vol up and down to get silent mode but it wasn't there (give me a break my cognitive functions suck when I'm torn out of my dreams lol)
I ended up picking up to get them to stop, but I should've been able to shut them up immediately

Sound on / Vibrate on

Is there anyway to have the sound and vibrate turned on at the same time for incoming phones calls only?

How then? I am new to Andriod.
What i want is sound off / vibrate on and vice versa. When i put my phone in vibrate mode, all notifications should be set to vibrate. Turn the volume back up and vibrate stops and sounds are back. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.
Try settings profile in the market.
Another great app is just "profile" by noimjosh, it is a fully configureable profile manager. It also has whitelist functions and the ability to seperate sms mms and notification volumes to different levels. It will also control GPS WIFI, music volume alarm volume .. the list goes on and on. I highly recommen checking it out. well worth it. Hope this helps.

I find that this is good for everything. That's probably why it costs $4. I have this one turn on my wifi when I get within 1/4 mi of my house. I also have it change my wallpaper so when I'm home it displays a hot naked girl and while at work it will display something other than that.

I find this one only good for adjusting sound based on a condition.

Hey Acid, settings profile looks really good. Lots of control, i am wondering if you agree on this though. I am on call sometimes from 330 am and want to keep everything silent except for a call from work. So i basically set up a "silent" profile, then created a rule so if i get a call from a specific work number the profile will change to another profile called "work".which has an audible ringtone of course. Thus i should be able to keep everything silent untill work calls then presto i can hear that call. Sound right to you?

THESE instructions look like they run pretty close to what you're describing. I'm pretty sure you can.
Yep, I should have checked that turorial first, thanks for the suggestion, I might have to make the switch over!
Have a good one
Hey by the way, if you have Juice Defender and Settings Profile running in tandem I've noticed they can conflict on the wifi side of things.
Ahh, noted thanks!

Lock screen silence/vibrate

Not sure if this topic would be in this forum or not...but I've noticed quite a few of the roms I've tried (celb2.1, white widow, kaosfroyo) all have a drag to silent phone feature on the lock screen. The only one I noticed that switches it to VIBRATE instead of just plain silent though is kaos....any idea how to change this function in say...celb2.1?
U have to change ur vibrate options in settings sounds

I am interested in trying to get the vibrate function working on Aloysius's lockscreen also instead of the sound off, there is no vibrate option in settings sound however, any ideas?
I just use the volume rockers on the side. One tick above silent is vibrate only.
I would be interested to know if you could change the slide to silent to slide to vibrate as well.
All I did to enable the slide for vibrate feature is make sure phone vibrate is checked in your settings under sounds and display

That didn't work for me, i checked it but nothing changed w the lockscreen. I don't know if its a different lockscreen.apk or a setting.

Same here.
I think this might be Froyo thing as when I was using Eris Lightning Bolt it would only go to silent mode

Just move the volume rocker switch (on the left side of the phone) down until the phone is in vibrate mode. If you move it one notch lower, it will be in silent mode.
put your phone into silent via the notification bar, then put the volume up 1
Beautiful Widgets has a free app for some widgets.... seatch levelup in the market
Hit your phone icon then push and hold the # button haha not easy i know

why they leave this option on for touchscreen phones i do not know however it makes me laugh
OneClick Widget has a nice On/Vibe/Off toggle for sound. Just search the market for it.
Quick Profiles is a great app for changing between ringing and vibration. Very customizable, closest thing to blackberry profiles that I have found.
Find a widget on the market if you're too lazy to use the volume buttons.
I never saw vibrate on the # key until now. Lol

Text messaging notification volume issue

I noticed a very annoying problem with this phone. When ever I set a tone for my messaging app the tone would play very loud and clear when I test it but when I actually get a text the volume drops by like 50%. I thought it was a problem with handcent but this happens when I use the default app too.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
There is a separate notification volume in the sound menu. When testing, it uses your main volume and not the notification volume. Just go in and bump it up.
I did that before I put this post up still no dice

Yea it's a glitch on all Epic's. I actually called Samsung about this issue and they were clueless... Smh!

Anyway to make the phone vibrate for calls when in Do Not Disturb mode?

I'd like the phone to still vibrate so I can determine on a case by case basis whether it's worth picking up. Putting my phone on vibrate isn't a solution, because I still want my priority notifications to sound while keeping others silenced... But phone calls, I want to still be able to feel even when I can hear them.
Is that possible? I was using my phone and didn't even realize I was missing a phone call since DND was on...

Has anybody made an app to put custom vibrations on certain contacts?
I am a v10 user so maybe it is different but you can set priorities for favorite contacts only long press do not disturb mode from notification panel.
Press select priorities, set to favorite

I think I'm just going to use a macro to schedule my phone to vibrate instead of using DND mode. Guess I'll just reserve for that for when I'm sleeping rather than when I'm sleeping and working. I don't like the idea that I could so easily miss an important call.
