Vibration problem with Whatsapp and FB Messenger - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the normal profile:
FB Messenger: vibration works
Whatsapp: no vibration (it works only if I select the short vibration from the app settings)
Vibration profile:
Whatsapp: vibration works
FB Messenger: no vibration (but it should vibrate)
Mute profile:
Whatsapp: no vibration (how it should be)
FB Messenger: vibration works (but it should not!!!)
Why is everything so strange?
Thanks

I was going to post a similar topic until i found yours;
I have similar behaviour with Whatsapp.
Sound on -> no vibrate
Sound off -> vibrates
change vibrate to long or short within whatsapp and vibrate works in either settings. This happened after last OTA
I'm on ME2 fw

im having some issues with whatsapp notifications aswell.
i get a message and it vibrates with sound,
after (when my chat group) gets spamed, i get no vibration or notification.
on my iPhone i used to get a notification/sound ever time a message came through.

I don't know how but the problem with FB messenger is gone. The problem with Whatsapp is't so big.:good:

No notifications come through when phone is standby

Hello, i dont get any notifications when my phone is on standby mode.
this includes:
Email
SMS
Alarms (windows alarms)
notifications for calendar events.
how does i fix?
okay, so try going to: settings - all settings - personal - sounds and notifications. There thick what you want. With the SMS notification while on stand-by, there is a bug which HTC solved (releasing a hotfix - found on htc.com). Tell me if you have any more problems and if you have solved these problems
No calemdar notofocation when the pin is set-up
Hi,
I have a similar problem. When the phone is on standby and locked (eg. after 15 min) I can not get any calendar notification working.
They all show up when I wake up the phone and enter my code.
The only workaround is to disable the lock, but I need it to be set-up (company policy)
Note that other notifications are ok:
- Call
- SMS (after installing the patch from HTC)
- Alarm
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any progress on this?, I have installed the official htc hotfix for sms, makes no difference for me.
While the sms not notifying is a frustration, I could probably live with it but...
Alarms are the real problem for me... I can't rely on the device as an alarm clock as the alarm simply doesn't sound until I bring it out of standby with the power button.
Any cure for this, is it hardware or software? do cooked roms exhibit same behaviour?
P.
I have the same problem. I have downloaded the fix from HTC, but still my email does not play a sound (the LED flashes though).
I have not checked other things (SMS, alarms etc.)
It would seem VERY silly if the alarm doesn't sound!!!!
For e-mail, you have to go and turn on the notification for that in the sounds and notifications settings,
Settings-->All Settings-->Personal-->Sounds and Notifications-->Notifications-->Event:Messaging: New e-mail message
And select it to play a sound of your choosing.
it is not switched on by default, in this case that is good for me, if I got a notification alarm every time I got a new e-mail, my phone would be sounding alarms pretty much all the time....
The alarm problem not waking from standby, I have posted in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544112 a possible cure, working for me for 2 days at least...

Notification problem

Hi,
I luv my legend, but I have some very strange bugs.
- SMS does not vibrate in vibration mode
- call waiting does not alert so I never hear in coming call when in a conversation
- problems with call notification, it does not ring sometimes, even when in normal ring mode
Any idea guys?
BR
for sms, in settings keep vibrate checked, then install sound manager and control vibrate mode from there, it'll work again. From the app under vibrate settings you can then also create a shortcut to vibrate settings so you can directly access it without having to open the app

whatsapp not respecting DND

As the title suggest, am having issues w/ whatsapp not respecting DND, in that audio + vibration notifications continue through DND hours. these alerts come from messages sent by both favorite and non-favorite contacts. my DND settings is:
type: custom
repeat callers: allow
calls from: contacts only
messages from: none
events/task alert: off
reminders: off
priority app notification: none (definitely not whatsapp)
am on the latest version of whatsapp but have had this problem on earlier versions as well. anyone else encounter this problem?
Having the same issue.. And Facebook messenger aswell. Can't understand why these apps force to work around this...
Edit: Sorted. I had in DND settings allowed custom notifications, but had the message from favorites aswell turned on that was causing the issue in whatapp and messenger. Turning off for messages (but left for calls) it seemed to sort it out

SMS Vibration partially working

Hi,
I noticed that SMS vibration only works when selected in app
however vibration it's not working when I select sound profile - vibrate from
notification panel shortcut (stock email app also have this issue).
Is it just sms /email application specific bug?
Please, can someone confirm that SMS vibration is turned ON (and working) when tapped on notification shortcut (sound/vibration) and turned OFF when tapped again on the same shortcut.
Thanks.

Gmail vibration won't turn off

So Gmail won't stop vibrating. I want texts to vibrate, but not gmail. I do however want gmail notifications, just not vibration notifications. The hardware slider is set to silent.
I've gone to Gmail -> Settings -> Account, Sound & Vibrate and unchecked "Vibrate." I've also changed Sound to "Silent" in those settings. It still vibrates.
Any ideas? Any root app I could use to control vibration permissions?
Thanks!
Ok looks like setting the Sound to "None" in the gmail account settings stops the vibrate, but also stops the LED notification -_-. I would like the LED notification, but no vibrate. Why is this so hard?
I have the same issue, Nexus 5x. Can't get the vibrate to stop independently of the LED notification. I'm not at all impressed with Oreo, so far.
