Anyone have any idea how to stop the ring/vibrate alert when I receive an email or sms? On most phones if I push a button it'll stop, but obviously it doesn't work for the tilt.
Is there a cab for this?
Thanks!
Are you looking to change the settings?
Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Notifications
Or hit the dismiss softkey when you get a notification.
kinda.... When I hit the dismiss softkey the ring/vibrate doesn't stop. When I did a search I saw someone else with a Wizard had the same problem. But to elaborate, my ringtone for sms isn't just a beep, it's a ringtone, so I just need it to stop when I hit a key or something.
Thanks for the help

Uhhh... no it doesn't. Am I doing it wrong?
I'm not trying to adjust the settings, I just want to be able to have a ringtone for my sms, and then when it rings, be able to stop the ringtone/vibrate with a button (or a scroll wheel) anything really...
Any more ideas?
Help? whimper?
Really? Nobody knows how to fix this? Am I the only one who has this problem? I know I can just turn the ringtone off for txts and email, but then why let a great feature go to waste? There has to be a way to stop a ringtone from playing all the way through when receiving a sms. Someone? Anyone?
Thanks

I am wondering if anyone knows how to stop the email notifications. I get emails all the time, and I use phonealarm on my today screen to monitor them. It is very annoying to constantly have the left soft button come up with a notification .
I have gone into setting>sounds & notifications and turned everything off.. but I still have the soft button notification. I would think there is some registry setting to do this but I have not found one.
Notification Softkey Help
Bumping this thread.
I too have all notifications for email turned off, but still get that left softkey changing to "notification" every 10 minutes to let me know I have unread email. I know I have unread email and already have the # of messages listed on the Today screen. I am tired of having to dismiss this.
Please, somebody tell us how to shut this off.
settings/sounds & notifications/notifications tab/event drop down box/messaging:new email messages.
in there will give you the options for all types of messing to turn on/off

Thanks, but that's the point. All those options are checked off. We still get the soft key notification.

And there was me thinking I could just use the key listed and change the duration to 1, like I did with SMS notifications. Alas it has no effect so disabling it entirely seems like the only option.
Thank you. This is a big help. Should be added as a "tweak" if somebody can.
is it possible to set the vibrator mode and a different ringtone for the sms?
Yes.
Start > Settings > Sound and Notifications. Click the Notifications Tab.
Event you want to change and you can select the sound, screen notification, light and vibrate.
hey thanks...i didnt know it was there....
Does anyone know if there is a reistry tweak for the number of times it vibrates when recieving a text? Once would be enough!
Can the notification bubble be disabled?
Its absurd that in the sounds and notifications, I uncheck all notifications from all events and still get the "Dismiss" button for a notification of a missed call or voicemail or email or mms.
I really dont need to see new email counter increment, plus notification/dismiss bubble at the bottom of the screen and finally the envelope icon at the top. Im not that dense.

You need to uncheck "show message on screen" from the connection established event under sounds and notifications.
no that just dosnt allow the message to pop up on the notification. i dont believe there is anyway to disable the icon that pops up in the top.
but what you can do is disable the message that pops up

The instructions I posted prevent the notification bubble from popping up, which is exactly what the OP was trying to accomplish.
no i think he means the icon that pops up on the top not the message that comes up when ever something happend...
at least thats what i think he means...
Which one
I dont mind the envelope on top, what I do mind is when I have the keypad locked and it take 4-10 button presses to get the normal soft key navigation back.
Example:
Missed call, new email, new mms, new voicemail. Each has a seperate "notification" that has to be viewed and dismissed in 2 keystrokes.
So for example, on a missed call only:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
As you can see, it takes 5 buttons to get my left softkey back to normal and get rid of the notification bubble. The handset icon with the ! on it is sufficient to indicate the missed call.
Now, how about a missed call, which of course causes a new voicemail:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
6) click softkey new message
7) click softkey dismiss
Now add new voicemail, missed call, new email, new text message and you can see it takes a ton of annoying keypresses to get rid of the bubble notifications and return the softkeys to normal where I expect them to be whenever I need to use my phone.
I have everything unchecked in the sound/notify section so that doesnt help.
If I dont use Today but instead, a Today replacement, does that go away?
Thanks
take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1843894
goto HKCU\control panel\notifications\
and change whatever you want to not show up to 0 or 1 in the options. What i do is set everything to 0 and i used to have a 1 ring lag due to that stupid bubble but as a disclaimer i use S2U2 to Handel the phone calls and phone alarm to Handel notifications so i am able to turn all this stuff off and still have the notifications i ask for.
No Luck on that thread
No luck on that thread. I still get the missed call changing the softkey to Notification and then a bubble, then dismiss.
I tried setting all the "Options" in each key under notifications to zero. So far, I think they all went away except missed call.
I have also been looking for a solution to disable the left soft-key notification / notification bubble. It seems that anyone who receives a lot of calls, voicemail and e-mail on there phone would find this "feature" annoying. I've tried various phone alarm type applications and not had any luck.
You're idea of replacing the today screen sounds like a good idea.
...but so far I just have to disable all on-screen notifications in notification settings and then press the left-soft key over and over again to dismiss all those stupid notifications.

Absolutely! I also can not understand why it seems impossible to get rid of this "feature". Specialy since HTC Home Plugin (and lot of other today plugins) make this notifications absolutely unnecessary.
Hi
is there a way to set the nexus to ring AND vibrate when i receive a sms?
thx
You should check the settings.
Go to your Messaging application.
Hit menu.
Settings.
Notification Settings.
Vibrate <= that is the one you want to check.
thank you, i guess it was pretty straightforward but i didnt think of it, i thought that notifications from the sound/notifications is applied to sms and didnt check messaging options
It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
