I find that when Im using my phone (messaging etc..) and i get a reply or anything, it prompts up on my watch.
Im already on my phone so its a bit unnecessary to get a notification about it on my watch..
Is there a way to disable watch notifications while Im on phone, and then have them re-enabled when my phone is locked
Have I missed a settings somewhere?

I was screwing around in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc trying to delete my outlook account, and when i deleted the folder i noticed that my phone stopped vibrating when i received text messages or emails.
I have since updated the ROM from the HTC website and the outlook account has come back, but i'm still not getting any vibration on messages.
Does anyone know how i can get it to vibrate again?
And i'm still looking for a way to remove the outlook safely - any ideas?
thanks
i know this is simple but is worth a shot if you havent already;
check sounds and notifications (in settings)
check in the notifications tab using drop down menu
Yeah - i have vibrate checked there. it totally sucks because i have to keep looking at my phone to tell if i have a new message
Try installing third party apps like phone alarm and use their profile settings to set vibrate - see if that works.

I just got a Magic and I have chompsms installed. I believed I clicked somewhere to disable vibration but how come whenever I get a new text message the phone vibrates? I dont want it to vibrate
Maybe you have vibrate enabled on the native messaging app. Check if you do, and disable that
I dont even know where the option is, I looked through, but I think I am missing something! but once again, I'm new to the Magic
I think its chomp sms that doesnt have the function to disable it.. im not sure though
First of all I am rooted -=- already everything works fine for me only one thing I am having issues,, I installed Handcent…and made it my default TEXTING app
But I still get notifications from the messaging app that came pre installed
..
I did go to settings>I unchecked Auto retrieve and Notifications on the pre installed so
I won’t get it notification from the preinstalled app
It was doing good before the ROOT
But now I get both apps notifying me?
Can anyone give some advice?
To resolve this issue
yeah just go to the settings of the default txting app and turn off notifications there.
I did still get both notifications

1. The auto retrieve is for multimedia messages - if you leave it unchecked it will send you a message asking if you want to download it, then it will come to your phone (So, i'd probably re-enable that)
2. I doubt this will make a difference, so you can try to skip over the 3 if you want, but, you can try re-enabling the notifications, selecting the "silent" ringtone, and then disable the notifications again (just in case there was a bug about the notification box)
3. This is what most likely is the problem and I'm at work so I don't have time to test out all the combinations, but do you have another app that controls sounds (ringo, sms alert, etc.) that could be sounding an alert as well? Test out changing different alerts and txting yourself (either from your phone or set up a google voice account and send them quicker) and see what alert is really is that's notifying you besides handcent.
good luck, I'll check back after work!

I was just about to make a thread asking if anyone else have to click download before they receive an MMS. LOL!!!

thanks let me try a few combinations
What you have to do is first reset defaults for text messages under Samsungs text app. Now go to handcent and turn off notifications. Now next time you get text click the one notification you got. It should ask you what app you want to use to open it. Default it to handcent. You now only have one notification. It's a crappy workaround but its the only thing that works. You can try to uninstall twizmms but usually that causes more problems then it solves
If my ways don't work i'd say try psychoace's idea...it sounds like it'll work.
And I guess if ur like acjones you might want the auto retrieve off (maybe high schooler with lady friends...?) But for those of us without an issue its just an extra step, and has nothing to do with the notification tones
On a Vibrant, using this app-thingy
Hi there!
I am trying to squeeze every bit of batt from my device... So, if I go to settings, sound and notifications, app notifications and block all those I don´t expect any updates, will it keep them from checking?
For example, if I go to app notifications and block tapatalk... will it keep the app from checking for updates and thus not using the internet, not waking up the device etc and would that spare the battery or would that only block the "displaying" of the info, but the app would still check / wake up the device to check?
Thanks!
Disabling notifications will do exactly that, just disable the notification from appearing on your notification bar. Your phone will still be syncing data and checking for notifications, you just wont receive them.
In order to stop the phone from checking, you need to turn off sync for whichever apps you're concerned with. You can usually do this from directly within the app, or by going to settings>accounts.

That said, if the goal is to keep from spending batt, I have to go into each app and disable their sync/notification options....
Thank you Sir.
Yes, and if there is no option from that within the app, check Settings>Accounts, it should be there.
Goodluck
Whats up everyone?
I got my 6T the first day. Today was the first time I played with it nicely.
Maybe I am getting confused or have lost my way around Pie, but I am not able to get notifications for a particular app the way that I want.
Example: For Twitter (because I receive a lot of notifications), I want the notification to show up on my lock screen as well in the notification dropdown (just like all other notifications), but I do not want my phone vibrating or making a sound when I receive one. Is it possible? ONLY for twitter. All other apps should function normally.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
When the app in question has a notification, long press it, choose more settings. There are options there to allow or disallow certain events.
