When an alert, such as a text message, facebook message, or calendar alarm triggers on my Nexus 4 (5.0.1 lollipop, all stock no root), no sound is generated. The LED blinks and the phone vibrates (which is nice) but the audible alert is missing. The ringtone thankfully works, as well as my alarm clock and pandora, so I know that the speakers are operational. I checked every setting I can locate in reference to notifications, including volume settings, notification tones, app notification settings, and so on. Priority and Silent are NOT selected, volume is basically at max, and I have custom tones set up for mostly every app that will allow me to select one. No apps have notifications suppressed. The tones work when I select them in the menu, and the problem does not seem to care what specific tone is used.
The phone was factory reset Saturday (2 days ago) when I switched to it from my last device. Any insight as to what I should check next?
update: i rebooted into safe mode and was successfully able to get notifications when i sent myself a text from another number and an email. google rep recommended i remove apps one by one until notifications work again, since it was seemingly a problem with one of the third party apps. but of course, after i boot the phone into regular mode, it works fine will monitor and update thread if i lose notifications again.
tl;dr reboot your phone before you make a post lol

Hi,
The following is very irritating to me and hopefully i'm not the only one.
I've installed 2 imap accounts and let them check every 5 mins.
Sounds are configured and working but...
When my device is off he gets his mail on schedule. But no notification.
No sound when my device is off. When I turn on my device it lits up in the bottom bar, an enveloppe appears in the top bar and last but not least my sound notification will ring.
Anybody an idea?
Hi,
I've also scheduled imap automatic check on several mailboxes and I do have a notification sound.
Have you checked the notification sound is enabled when going to parameters/sounds & notifications/notifications/new mail ? You have to enable it yourself since it's not the default behaviour.
Everything in Sounds and Notifications is checked and he does ring only when i turn on the device. Not when it's on stand by

Same problem other topic
So how do I turn this alert off.
Problem is that it wakes the whole house at night when I leave phone chargeing.
As I understand it, it is in the same category of signals as an SMS.
Do want to hear when SMS received.
I have gone through the menus 101 times.
There are 2 things.
1 is default notification. Settings->Sound->notifications (The notification center)
2 is the sound each application will give when notified. This overrides the 1
If the app has been set to default (which it normally is) then it tell the phone to sound the default notification as defined in 1
So in your case go to 1 and make it silent (this will silence all notification even full charge one. ringtone is not effected)
Now since u still want SMS/GMAIL/Calendar etc to notify. Open those apps, go to their settings and select the sound you want to hear when they want to notify. Just open them and press menu, select settings and see notification options and configure it in the app itself to sound whatever notification you want to hear. In my case SMS/Gmail/K9/GV/Calendar etc have different sounds so I know if it needs immediate attention.
THANK YOU, I would never have figured this out myself.
Followed your description, and I'm sure it works.
Hello everyone,
Whenever I get a new email in my Gmail box, my phone vibrates when in Vibrate Mode. But in Gmail options, I have vibration on new emails explicitly disabled. It seems the phone itself is overriding that setting. How can I get this to stop?
I don't want all vibrations in Vibrate Mode disabled though. I would still like my phone to vibrate for incoming text messages, but not for emails.

To my knowledge, what vibrate mode does is take all audible notifications and make them vibrate. That being said, if you have any notification on for your gmail, it will then vibrate when you get an email.

Hmm, makes sense I suppose, though it's not the best way to handle the scenario. If you have vibration for a notification specifically turned off, then the phone shouldn't take it upon itself to add a vibration to it just because the phone is in Vibrate Mode. I guess I'm just used to the more intelligent way Cyanogenmod does it where it provides an option to turn off vibration during a notification if has already been turned off in the app itself.
I am waiting VERY patiently for Cyanogenmod nightlies for this phone...
Yeah, well it's just over 3 weeks until this phone will be liberated as it should have been released originally! Until then, you could try playing around with a 3rd party app for sounds, etc. I don't have any to suggest unfortunately, because I don't use them, but it's just a thought.
What mcmb03 states seems true and definitely applying in Gmail app's case. I can only get it to stop vibration notification (when phone is set to vibrate mode) if I completely turn off the (or uncheck) Label notifications from my Gmail account settings.
Bug?
Either way, I sent feedback via the "Send feedback" option within the app. Fingers crossed I'm not the only one who has reported this "issue" to them and they will correct the Vibrate check function to override device/system setting.

I have my Gmail inbox set to the settings shown in my screenshot. I tested to confirm for you, these settings - mine does not vibrate when phone is in vibrate mode because it is unchecked.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gmail app?
Well, I somewhat lied. I received upwards of 15 emails when in vibrate mode with "vibrate" unchecked and it did not vibrate. However, I have just received a couple shortly after posting and my phone DID vibrate... Odd...
EDIT: The emails to my Gmail app i received while my phone was in Vibrate mode with the vibrate feature DISABLED, those emails were sent to me with high priority, they were not a regular email. Just a note. Still weird.
Just shifted to Android 4.3 on a Nexus 4 after years of using Symbian. Learning loads of stuff and loving most of it.
However there is one thing that I sorely miss:- The ability to control sound and vibration notifications through "Profiles". I installed a nifty little app called 'Settings Extended' with which I can control these notifications quite easily.
The problem is that these settings seem to apply only to Calls and not Text messages.
First off, I have kept the vibration notification 'unchecked' in the stock messaging app because I don't want it to vibrate everytime I receive a text.
Next I change the Sound Settings to enable both sound and vibration notification. Here I expect the phone to Ring+Vibrate for both Calls and Text messages..just like in Nokia phones. Sadly this does not happen apparently because vibration is OFF in the stock messaging app.
So now I'm in a fix. If I enable vibration in the messaging app, the phone will vibrate for new texts even when I don't want it to and on disabling it I run the risk of missing the notification sound or blinking LEDs for that matter.
I have tried 3rd party apps like GoSMS and Handcent where they have an additional feature to enable vibration notification for text messages only when "Phone is set to Vibrate". The problem here is that the phone should be in "Vibration mode" i.e only vibration is enabled and sound is disabled for the app to give a vibration notification on new messages. When both sound and vibration are enabled under Sound settings, no vibration notification is produced.
This is really bugging me. Seems unnecessary complication of simple tasks to me. I have searched the net for a solution and although have found few people having the same problem, I haven't come across a solution yet. So now I turn to XDA because I know that if a solution exists, it can only be found here.
Thnaks to anyone who had the patience to go through this post!
I'm running android 5.0 on my nexus 7 and I got this weird sign of a circle with a line through it and I can't seem to remove it.
Anybody know what it is ?

Here you go...
(With Lollipop, Android finally has a proper " Do Not Disturb" mode, something OEMs have added to the platform themselves for years. Integrated into the volume controls are buttons to control incoming notifications. You*can pick between categories of "All," "Priority," and "None," for allowed notifications, and you*can set the device to revert back to "All" after a certain number of hours have passed.
"Priority Notifications" can mean several things depending on what you set as "priority" in the settings. It can be set to allow only notifications from contacts, only notifications from*starredcontacts, or notifications from anyone. There are also toggles to include "Events and reminders," "Calls," or "Messages" as priority notifications. There is also a schedule-able "Downtime" that will automatically turn on*priority mode at certain times and days of the week. Now when you want your phone to automatically shut up at night, you can finally set it to leave you alone*while still allowing really important messages through.
The current notification mode is displayed in the status bar. When the mode is set to "None," a "No" symbol (a circle with a line through it) shows up in the notification bar. If it's set to "Priority," the symbol changes to a star. "All" is considered normal and doesn't get an icon. No matter what the mode is, all notifications are always listed in the notification panel. These settings just control alert sounds, Heads Up notifications, and notification LED flashes)
