I got my S8 today and so far I'm loving it! Is there anyway to turn vibrations off when you get a text or any other type of message? I have turned all vibration settings and sounds off in the settings menu but I still get a vibration on incoming messages. Thanks.

Many apps have their own notification mechanism over which you have no control. All of my local news apps vibrate, and what's worse, there's no setting to disable it. You'll have to check the notification configuration screen of your messaging apps.

Thanks for the reply, I have found that with some apps you can turn off the vibrations and with messages you will have to turn of all notification settings on the app itself to stop the remaining vibrations.
That's correct! It's similar with iPhones as well; some app developers just do their own things.

Ok, I know it should be easy.. but how the hell do i turn off the vibrate function with the stock message app? tried going through the menu and no option there...
it's driving me a bit potty... any help?
Do you mean the vibration you get when writing a message or when you recieve a message?
I can't give you a direct answer as I don't have the phone yet, however if there isn't a setting that enables you to remove the vibration, I used an application on the marketplace called Streak Vibrations (requires root) that globally disables and enables vibration on the phone. Worked wonders on my old Atrix.

when receiving a message
I believe that you just have to disable the vibration for notifications to disable it for the message app. Running stock I do not believe that you can pick and choose what notifications get to vibrate. More of an all or nothing type deal.
Now if you root thats a different story, not to mention once some custom roms start rolling out
Settings > Sound > under general, select Vibration then select never. Vibration alerts will still work for Gmail notifications if you have it set that way in the Gmail app.
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.

Menu > Settings > Sound there you will find Vibration as well as Vibration intensity.

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 .

anyone having problems with the phone not vibrating when receiving notifications like sms, gmail, whatsapp etc?
i have vibration set to 'always' under sound settings and also in the individual apps but the phone only vibrates for incoming calls only...
have you checked the notification settings in the apps your using? they are separate from the main sound setting i think.

Hi,
I can't seem to find a way to activate vibrations when receiving a notification. There are multiple options about the vibrations, but none of them seems to activate vibration on notification. I can activate notification vibrations in the Gmail app, but I would like to activate vibration for all notifications. Any tips on how to do this ?

Unfortunately it's not possible to have sound & vibration at the same time system wide. Either is sound or vibrate. Hopefully, ROM development will take care of this.
what about vibration when typing? Using the LG keyboard...
The volume control and vibration control on this phone is much less customizable than I would like.
Vibration mode turns everything to vibrate, but I get vibration notifications for emails as well as text and everything else. I would like it just to vibrate for ringtones and text if possible.
On my old phone I was able to turn off vibration for notifications and leave my gosms to do the vibration for the text, but it seems like there is no way to turn off vibration for notifications and leave it on for ringtone on this phone.
Has anyone found a way to turn the vibration for notifications OFF in vibration mode? While still leaving vibration ON for ringtones?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

settings>sound> go to the samsung applications section, you can adjust everything individually there... call, messages, email, calander
Yeah try this man like what evil posted settings>sound> go to the samsung applications section, you can adjust everything individually there... call, messages, email, calander
does this allow me to have diff settings for different profiles? I want the sound off for everything but vibrate on for everything but only when set to VIBRATE mode, but when I change to Sound mode, I dont want any notification to vibrate and I want sounds to play for everything, can I do that without having to go into each individualapp setting and changing it?

I tried this but it still vibrates when I receive an email. I'm using Gmail and have the setting for vibrate off in the Gmail app. Does anyone know a secondary app that can control all the notifications other than light flow? I'd even use something like that to fix it. I just want it to vibrate for phone calls when in vibrate mode. Have you guys been able to turn off other vibrations with the method suggested?
