Whatsapp Notifications... - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody else having a problem where Whatsapp messages still vibrate even though I've switched it off in the apps settings?
Also is there a way to switch all of vibration for notifications off on the phone? On the M9 I could put the phone on silent and choose whether or not I want it to vibrate with notifications or not but on the 6P it seems if I have the volume silent it still vibrates.

Yeah I have this problem but I think it has to do with the favorite contacts, only those ring in priority mode.

Turn off Gmail vibration when I receive a new email...

I'm trying to turn off the vibration when I get a new email like I have on my Evo LTE. I don't want the phone to vibrate when I have to receive an email even if the phone is on vibrate. I don't need to be notified of the emails however when I happen to look at my phone I still want to see the icon at the top of the screen letting me know i have new emails... Is this possible? I didn't have the GS3 or any Samsung phone prior to this one so it may be a common answer to others just not me...
-I have already unchecked the Vibrate box and Notify for every message box within Gmail itself from my phone.
-It's not in Driving mode like some have stated while trying to look this up online
-I've tried to set the ring tone to silent but that didn't work
Does anyone know to accomplish this? Thanks in advance

On my GS3, in gmail settings (account not general), I have Notifications ticked, then in Inbox Sound and Vibrate I have Vibrate unticked, Sound=silent and Label Notifications ticked.
Phone doesn't ring or vibrate when an email arrives and I get an envelope icon in the notification bar

Yeah I have the same thing and my GS4 still vibrates when I have my phone on vibrate while I'm at work... I have the same set up on my Evo and it doesn't do it there however it does for whatever reason on this phone.

Glad I am not the only one struggling. Gmail needs an update maybe? I just killed sound and vibrate.

Mine finally started working for whatever reason... I had the same information that EJ stated above but it wasn't working however it is now. Don't know what changed but it is working... Make sure in the Gmail app that the sound in there is set to silent... On my Evo LTE, there is a sound there (notice) but it never goes off so who knows

didn't have this problem for about a week, but it started up in the last couple days. nothing in my setup has changed! any thoughts?
bump. this is driving me nuts, like a steering wheel in my pants.
better late than never I guess... I think I found a solution to this!
It's been driving me nuts on my Galaxy s5 and have spent the past few hours trying to get this fixed.
The solution I came up with is the following:
Set Gmail to silent and uncheck vibrate. Leave notifications on still just silent.
Download and use the light flow app to set up notifications for gmail.
Go into light flow and edit the notifications for gmail.
Enable sound and select the sound you would like to play.
Enable vibration as well.
Set the vibration pattern to 1 short vibration. This will change the vibration to a little quick chirp for an email. Much more tolerable.
OR you can do a custom vibration pattern and set the pattern to 0,0 to have no vibration at all.
Make sure to leave both the boxes "Vibrate only when silent" and "Don't vibrate when silent" both checked.
The vibrate only when silent stops any vibration when the volume is on. And I dont know if my logic is right on this but I think the "Don't vibrate when silent" acts to stop the phone from using it's normal vibration method and uses lightflow instead. Because even with this checked you will get whatever vibration you have chosen instead of what the phone typically uses.
Follow those steps and set those options and you should be good.... Try it out!
This worked for me. Hopefully it'll help you guys out too!

[Q] Notifications not staying on silent

Anyone else have a problem where notifications keep reverting to using sounds ? I like to keep mine on vibrate so i go into Sound and turn notification volume all the way down (why they have no "silent" option for notifications, i dont know !!!). It will work for a little while and then i start hearing my notification sounds again so i look in settings, and notification sound is set back to 20% or so. Only way to fix it is to use silent mode, but that would affect phone calls as well which i dont want.

Volume levels change on own?

It's weird. I'm not talking about DND. Seems as though every time I put ringer on vibrate it reverts back to sound after a while. Same with the media volume. I don't get it?!?!?
Anyone seen experience same?

you sure you're putting RINGER on vibrate and not NOTIFICATIONS? they changed the volume controls in 5.x to make it "more difficult" to actually put your ringer on vibrate.
this has happened to me too. haven't figure it out yet, though. I'll put it in vibrate and a few minutes later will hear a text msg notification. Really inconvenient while in class and meetings. Ringer and notifications are linked in volume. if you go to sound and notifications settings it only shows media, alarm, and ring volumes.

S7 Edge is on silent but I still hear notifications.

Not sure what's going on but I always put my phone on silent when I sleep but for some reason I'm still hearing notifications.
You sure you're not dreaming?

It woke me up. It's happened 3 or 4 times so no. lol
Having the same issue with the phone ringer not the notifications.
It seems that the phone keeps the ringer option active for all the profiles, if I set the ringer to silent in the settings than the phone does not ring with the "sound" profile.
Same issue here no matter what sound profile I choose. Using a T-Mobile S7 edge
Same issue here as well. Set to silent at the email notification went off. One time I set to silent, and the alarm would not function. Rebooting seems to fix all

Disable vibration for notification in vibrate sound mode?

I keep receiving vibrations for incoming email notifications with Nine email. From the information i've gathered, if the phone is in vibrate mode then all notifications cause a vibration as well.
Vibration is disabled in the app and i know its not the apps fault because it works fine on my Pixel XL.
How do you guys get around this? I dont want all notifications causing a vibration when in vibrate mode especially if its set to not vibrate in the app settings.
