S7 Edge is on silent but I still hear notifications. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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

Rotation Sound

Is there a way to turn off that annoying sound when you rotate the phone? I don't remember if I have always had it or if it was something I might have messed with by accident. Also is there a reason why notifications don't ring on the headphones when they are plugged in? I though that was just weird. Thanks and I apologize if this question is a bit random haha.

Set the notification sound to silent. To keep getting notification sounds for texts/emails/etc., go into the program and set individual notification options for each one.

[Q] Volume rocker functions on Froyo

I loved on 2.1 how I could just use the rocker to go from sound, to vibrate, to silent. Is there any way of enabling this on EB13? "vibrate only when not in silent" doesn't give the same effect, as the rocker goes straight from silent to low volume.

This is really annoying. Sometimes I need it to be silent, sometimes I want my phone to just vibrate. But it doesn't seem like that's possible with froyo..

I think one reason for removing it is because it is on the pull down menu now. Personally I like it better there.

Yeah but if you choose only vibrate on silent and then choose silent, it's not really silent is it? It still vibrates...
The reason why it matters to me is because I set my phone on a cradle while at work and I don't need the phone to vibrate because it's loud. I'd rather have it on silent.

If you go to sound settings then vibrate you can set it to "vibrate only when not in silent mode." There will be no vibrate only option, but you will have silent instead, without vibrate. Works through the rocker and notification bar

Right, but then the phone won't vibrate if I have it in my pocket. Stupid I know but it's useful for me...
That is a Android 2.2 feature, not a Samsung or Sprint thing. You can change it in the settings to either be silent and no vibrate or vibrate only. The only way around this is a widget like the previous post said.

Man I see your point now. I apologize I didn't actually test it. You can either have volume and vibrate our volume and silent. That does suck. Glad I don't use silent very often but that is a pain.

If you press volume up on the rocker to enable the ringer, it will vibrate. Unless you simply want vibrate only, and silent (no vib) only, then yes widget is the only option. What you want is not stupid, deleting that feature was stupid

No problem. I just find silent and vibrate separately as being useful. Whenever I'm in a meeting, I'd like my phone to vibrate when it's in my pocket so I know I got a message. But when I'm at my desk, it's annoying to have my phone vibrate whenever I get an email/text. For one, I have gmail open at my desk and 2, I just have the screen come on whenever I get a text so vibrate isn't really necessary.
Oh well, guess I'll explore using a widget. Thanks.

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!

Vibration problem

My phone is not vibrating on sms or calls even though I have it turned on. Any ideas???
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I think that's only for calls and other notifications. Try going into the messaging app and then go into it's settings. There should be an option to turn vibration on

Whatsapp Notifications...

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.
