[Q] Vibrating for emails.

Hi
I can't figure out how to turn this off. Every other android phone didn't vibrate when I received an email. Would only play a notification sound if it was on loud. But the nexus keeps vibrating on every single email I receive. How to turn this off? But still receive notifications

I think its a bug with the latest gmail. It did it on my Gnex after the 4.2 update as well.

Same here. I disabled vibrate in gmail but it still does.

Having the same problem with the Email (not Gmail) app. I've set vibrate to off in the email settings, but when I have the phone on vibrate it vibrates regardless. Driving me bonkers.

It's a bug with both Gmail and Email app - documented at the link above.

From my side, it looks like it was working fine after the update, but as soon as I changed the notification settings in an app, the bug appeared for that particular app.

One person did mention reinstalling the app.

no way to fix,
killing app,
sign out and sign in again,
restart phone,
reinstall 4.2,
killing all google service and restart again,
tried all possibilities but no solution,
There is only one way, if u have "Stock 4.1.2 JZO54K" installing OTA pack
"http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_takju/e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip"
no problem about vibration or anything else

But no one in that entire thread mentioned clearing app data. Now, if you reinstall the whole damn stock ROM with the linked zip (don't just don't, no need to be flashing radio to fix an app bug), it will of course clear app data as part of the install process, whereas just reinstalling the app over the old one won't.
So... did anyone who is having this issue, which supposedly is everyone (personally I've not noticed it because I have my phone set to vibrate when I get emails anyway), try clearing the app data?

I reported this here as well back on the 20th: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34513360

Figured it out!
Looks like the vibrate check box is just the wrong way around,
when un checked it is on, when checked it is off!
I was wanted to have them on and had the box checked and wasn't getting them, now I have unchecked the box it is vibrating on receiving a message

Unfortunately even with the latest update, my Gmail still demands to vibrate on new messages even when I have this set to off. Am I doing something wrong?

Weird its working for me. I went to settings > sound > notification conversion > unchecked it. Now when I receive an email on my gmail phone does not vibrate. Btw, i am using PA latest ROM.

[Q] Facebook Notifications aren't working other then new facebook messages

Hello everyone.
So first of all I love this phone, the speed, the capabilities and especially the battery life.
What I don't feel is tied to just this phone is me not being able to get facebook notifications. I get a notification if I receive a new message but that's all.
This happened on my Note 3 as well. I have logged in on a friends phone into my facebook account and the same thing. I do not get any notifications. I even used the old method of trying to log in on a blackberry and that didn't work either.
What I have noticed in Facebook Account settings is that I can not check on "group post or comments" under my notification settings.
I'm thinking it's some old app that I used on another phone that stopped this from working but I could be wrong. I have tried to turn off app on the platform setting and still nothing works.
All I receive now is the number of notifications "number" on the Facebook app icon. Don't shoot me but I like getting the actual notifications from Facebook to my phone to alert me.
Does any of you kind souls have an idea to how I can fix this? Or something you have tried that got your notifications working again.
I know about some third party apps but that's not what i'm looking for if I can help it.
Any help or ideas help.
Thank you

Did you got a solution?
I have this issue since a year and I cannot fix it. It's related to my account because whenever I log in to any other account, I got notifications.

Not getting notifications for Facebook

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I've tried everything from deleting app data to a factory reset.
I am still not getting any notifications for Facebook. The only type of notifications I am getting is the Icon Badge.
Yes I have notifications turned on for Facebook.

Mine work but the only widget is missing

My S7E seems to be automatically clearing my Facebook notifications (plus some other notifications too). I have no idea why it is doing this.

How do you know it's doing this? Can you see the notifications pop up for a split second?

Well first I kept hearing my notification sound and when checking had no notifications. But then while using the phone I noticed notifications pop up for a second and instantly dissapear.
This phone seems to have a mind of it's own as some of my settings are turning themselves on and off.

It's definitely something odd going on.
When you responded to this post, I got the Tapatalk notification instantly however my Gmail isn't updating on it's own all of the time which means the push notifications don't come across. I have to do a manual refresh in the Gmail app. With Facebook, I am getting the badge icon instantly but I am getting no sound or banner notifications with the phone on or at idle.

I normally don't use the app. I'm not a big FB fan but the app is working fine for me. I only use FB for a few mobile games. But I'm getting notifications without any issues.

I seem to have fixed my Facebook notifications or at least I think I did. So far it has worked with a few test posts I made.
For some reason, I think this has to do with migrating to the iPhone and then switching back.
Anyhow, I downloaded and synced Facebook with my old Nexus 7 that we keep around to keep our 3 year old daughter entertained with when we go to restaurants.
What happened is kind of strange. I started getting notifications on my S7 instantly but now I am not getting the notifications on the Nexus 7. Anyone else find this odd?

i have kinda the same thing. it give me notifications but only on the app widget. it shows the number of notifications but not a notification in the bar on top. i have to keep the facebook app on my main screen so when i turn it on it shows if i have any notifications in the app. it has bugged me like crazy.

I don't even have the option to put the Facebook widget on my homescreen. Where did you find the widget?
Also, it sounds like you are having the same issues I was. I had the facebook icon sitting on my home screen and it would show the icon badge for how many notifications I had but I wasn't getting the notification banners at the top.
I don't understand how syncing Facebook with a old Nexus 7 cleared this issue up but so far the notifications on my S7 seem to be working.

I've had no push notifications for about a year and a half on my HTC One M7, and still the same issue now on the S7 Edge, however I do get the widget notifications at least. I have checked all my Facebook settings and all notifications are enabled. Dont know why I just stopped getting push notification. Wonder if its something on my Facebook account.

I am not getting any Facebook notifications either. I migrated from an iPhone 6S and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
Not sure how I would go about fixing it though.

I have never owned an iPhone so it's not that for me

That's what I am thinking. Do you have another device laying around like a tablet or another phone? If so, try loading your Facebook account on it. If you don't then maybe you could try a friends phone.

I have a backup Galaxy S5 that I could try it on. I'll see if I have some time this week to experiment.

Might be worth logging into your Facebook on the desktop version and going into settings, Notifications, Mobile and seeing if something has been disabled in here.
I wasn't getting Facebook notifications on the Messenger app, just the badge and icon. Took me ages to finally find out that somehow that at option was disabled when I logged into the app on my S7. Not done this on any other phone.

Not sure what happened but I'm getting notifications now.

Yea. Mine have been off and on since yesterday. Actually, all of my notifications have been off and on since I got the phone on Saturday.

Oreo update - not showing notifications

Hi all
I have searched everywhere and I can't find anybody else with this issue... I surely can't be the only one...?
Since updating my Nexus 6P to Oreo I appear to have some apps not show a notification icon or anything in my notification drop down menu. My phone will vibrate as normal but my screen will not show any notifications...
This happens for Outlook (I will receive a normal notification and email preview on my Huawei watch running 2.0 but nothing at all on phone apart from its vibration), FotMob (a goal alert service if anyone is unfamiliar with it) and even push notifications on Facebook (to name a few). WhatsApp and text messages, for example, are working as normal.
I have reset all my notification and permissions settings TNA and even uninstalled and reinstalled the troublesome apps. Same result
Is this just apps not being fully supported for 8.0 or is this a different issue?
I really don't want to resort to a factory reset...
Thanks in advance

The most important thing i hate about Oreo .. is that Power notification control is missing the is so important for me!!

How were the apps installed? If you restored them through Titanium Backup, the device id for GCM push notifications will be wrong.
Uninstall, clear cache, then install the app from the play store.

Hi krs360
The apps were installed through play store. I am running fully stock, unrooted Android 8.0
Thanks

I have the same problem. Gmail is set to blink the notification light - but it doesn't! Argh!

There is something sketchy about oreo notification. Sometimes the LED simply doesn't blink at all , sometimes it simply blink very very slow.

Aquamail works fine
Gmail also doesn't pop up with a notification when the screen is off. But aqua mail does, and the notification light also works.

I think I found the answer to this. Basically it's a change in the SDK that requires the app author to fix. (I know, I just discovered the same problem in apps I wrote.)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43093260/notification-not-showing-in-android-8-oreo

Nothing quite so heartbreaking than to find a singular post/thread on the internet from someone having the same issue as you, only to discover that no solution has been posted and that it's old.
For what it's worth, having the same exact issue. Phone updated OTA a few weeks ago, and at first I was having the battery drain issue but that seemed to get fixed during the patch update, but now I've noticed that Outlook Calendar reminders, as well as Facebook Messenger App Notifications (new messages) no longer make a sound and/or show up as a notification on my phone. This is extremely annoying/difficult especially with Outlook as I have a really terrible time keeping things straight or organized, so I rely pretty heavily on the calendar reminders I set in it for daily/weekly/monthly things.

I could be wrong but I think it's related to notification lights.I wasn't getting anything until I turned it on and suddenly I was.

Hi,
Has anyone come across the solution for this issue? I have had it for over a month now and I really don't understand what the issue could be.

same issue with OREO (ZUK Z2 PRO)
also cannot edit permissions because it doesn't handle a device with plenty apps installed (+800) it hangs and crash / go back to main menu without letting you edit anything in options
