Hi,
I have been using WhatsApp a lot more than usual lately and there's something that's bothering me. While the screen is off, there's a notification for each message received. So, in case I have someone messaging me 20 times in a row, I will hear the notification tone 20 times. I know some apps limit the number of notifications by time and I'd like to do this with WhatsApp.
Is there some way to do this? To make it clear, I'd like to be able to set an option like "Only ring once for whatever number of messages every 30 seconds".
Thanks

I've seen this in custom Roms but not in Stock.

You can limit notifications frequency in light flow. I am not sure if that's exactly what you want or not, but I have it set so if I get more than say 2 texts in a row within 10 seconds that it doesn't play the sound or vibrate more than once in that time frame.
Thank you so much @frigidazzi ! I already used Light Flow to manage the notification led but never used it to manage notification sounds. I just configured it to only ring once every 10 seconds and it's working perfectly.
Again, thanks a bunch!

Does anyone know of a tool which can automatically provide a reminder that an unread SMS has been received? I'm thinking of a beep every 30 seconds or something like that.
I guess not... How weird, people must be happy enough to miss SMS messages!!

I don't think people generally miss their unread SMS, even without any reminder app. If you had Inbox summary displayed on your Today screen, then you'll know you have unread SMS or emails.
If one couldn't hear the beep when a new SMS arrived, chances are one could not also hear the subsequent 30 seconds interval reminder beeps.
have you found it?
Hi.. Have you got what you're looking for?
I often got unread sms/missed call.
When I check my XDA, it's been a few hours late..
kaiser notifications is the program for you then
Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up by someone.
Every now and then I hear an unknown notification for something. I can't find what application is doing this and it's obviously something you can't set at the normal sound settings menu (all the tones I've selected for receiving SMS, ActiveSync, WiFi networks or any other app are different). It must be some kind of system notification, but I can't find out what is causing it, because it happens when I'm not even touching the phone.
(BTW, I have the LED notification installed, and it doesn't light up when this tone sounds).
does it sound a little bit like a bird tweeting? the twitter tab makes that sound when it auto updates.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Yeah, I've thought about that, because I thought it was Twitter in the first place, but I've checked and there were no new tweets when I checked after hearing the sound.
(But thanks a lot, it definitely is the Twitter notification sound, I just checked!). Now when does it sound... that's the question
It makes it even if there are no new tweets, it's just to tell you it has checked.
Well, ok then. But then it's not very consistent, because it should check every 5 minutes and I don't get notifications every 5 minutes
Hi all
When I get new POP email, the notification sounds every 5 mins until I read it.... Is there any way to make it notify only once?
Thanks
Same problem here. Also when I got more than 1 email i get multiple notification sounds and is vibrating really long.
I find it quite annoying.
If its googlemail, open it up, press menu and then settings. Under notification's there are 2 options, 1 is about only one notification per message and the other is about how many times it will notify you
Hi guys,
Is there a way to chill out the vibration on this phone?
Everytime I receive an email or I get an appointment reminder, the phone vibrates for like two seconds.
It should just chill out and give me a short vibrate.
I have managed to tone down the vibration on SMS using SMS popup but appointments and emails are still hyper.

He's obviously not talking about the haptic feedback.
Noticed that as well. Any notification vibrates so long you think it's a call.
Been looking at this, using Handcent has let me change the text vibrate pattern but nothing for emails. I've read that people have used tasker to do it instead.
I set vibro and sound off for all apps that use notifications, because I do not need to feel them - I use the notifications whenever I view the screen.
I think the length of vibro MAY depend on the length of the SOUND tone you set for specific notifications? like it was with old dumb phones? Try picking a shorter sound.
Just put it in your pocket and smile all day long .

Wondering if there is a setting or app that I haven't find that will either turn on the screen, or give me an audible sound when i receive a text message while I'm on the phone. I actually am on the phone about 4 hours a day, with no notification I reply to text messages later than I would like.
Thanks for the help!
Anybody?
