Hallo,
I seem to have the following problem with WM5.
it happens sometimes that the alarm rings, however the notification message does not appear and I can't turn the alarm off. So it keeps ringing a lot of time, even if I disable alarms and notifications. If I turn off the volume (which is not a solution anyway) it still vibrates. Also, the red light in the upper right corner keeps on flashing. Soft resetting the device doesn't solve the problem: after reloading, the alarm is still ringing.
I have 3 alarms that are set to ring at an interval of 10 minutes, like 7 am, 7.10 am, 7.20 am.
It looks like this happen when the third alarm rings and the device is turned off.
Has anyone experienced the same problems?
any clue?
thanks
I usually have my phones on a scheduled soft reset in the middle of the night. I put it face down so the light wouldn't wake me but the Kaiser(Qualcomm) does a vibrate pulse as if I needed that... Anyone know how to disable that?
Put it in your sock? *cough*
i wanna to know the answer too....
Anyone?...

I have a couple ideas but they involve either a hammer, or a fish tank.....
Seriously I am looking around but have not found anything yet
Sorta weird you can't disable this :|
Diable vibrate
OK.. might seem odd but a found some materail that said that some of the software used to disable the led with kill the vibrate feature... I could not find the software.. but it give a place to start

There is a software, but I think a registry tweak will be easier:
Code:
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
Change the "Index" value from 1 to 0
Soft-reset the device
Killing the vibrate isn't a feature, it's a consequence in this case.
And, it's not killing the vibrate on reset/power on.
I think this is something on the chipset level that can only be resolved by a altered ROM or "chipset" update from Qualcomm...??
stop vibrate at every soft-reset
Has someone been able to stop the vibrate starting at every soft-reset ?
I prefer to think of it more as a shudder whilst yawning as it wakes up
How to reduce the vibration time period ?
When I put my PPC in vibration mode and a remind alarm arrives, my PPC is vibrating for a TOO much long time ! I just want it to make, 1 short vibration , how do configure the PPC to do that ?

Surely this must be a hardware issue which can't be changed?
I've change my ROM and radio more times than i can remember and still have the same issue. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't some of these ROM bases even come from different WM hardware (which doesn't have this problem)?
I don't think the vibration duration is linked with the hardware, there must be a way to configure this, as it is possible to configure the ringtone to increase the sound or not.
Anyone has already tried changing the vibration duration ?

There's 2 ways you can put your phone into vibration mode:
1: tap the speaker icon on the top bar of the phone and select "vibrate" from the on, vibrate, off options.
2: tap the speaker icon on the top bar and leave it set to "on", but drag the two volume sliders to the bottom.
If you use method #1, when you get a notification it will give you 3 short bursts of vibration.
If you use method #2, the duration of vibration for reminders and other notifications (email, sms, etc.) is related to the length of the audio alert. I have my phone set to make noise and vibrate at the same time and when I get a message, it vibrates for the entire time that it's making noise, and not a bit longer. When I drag the volume sliders down instead of putting it exclusively into "vibrate" it vibrates for the same amount of time, so I imagine it is still playing the sound file I have associated for that notification, just not outputting it to the speaker, and vibrates while the sound file is playing.
So if you want a shorter vibration when your alarm arrives, choose a shorter beep, tone, jingle, whatever sound you want it to make when you get an alarm. Or use option #1 for putting it into vibration mode if the 3 short bursts are acceptable to you.
The vibrate upon startup is some low level thing, and I have no idea how to change it.
Hi Folks,
Happy HD7 user here, have had it a few weeks and really love it vs my previous phones.
However i have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working ? I noticed this most recently with alarms not going off, id often wake to the phone vibrating but no sound ? It wasnt set to vibrate either. When going to unlock the phone (Company enforced policy) the normal button taps also do not sound.
When making a call while the phone is in this state there is no sound what so ever on either end of the phone..
Soft resetting cures, but has anyone else had the same problem.
Phone is running o2 latest firmware (phone is unlocked and on the Vodafone Ireland Network).
I've had the sound stop working for music before, but I didn't try making a phone call or have an alarm go off while it wasn't working, so I can't say if all those things were affected. I assume they would be though.
Soft reset does fix it (until it does happen again, seems to be really random)
I came here looking to see if anyone was having this issue, to determine if it was just my hardware, or if it is software related.
I have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working; ie. vibrating but no sound on alarms, and the normal button taps not producing sound when going to unlock the phone.
However, when making a call while the phone is in this state, I can hear the called party fine, but they can not hear me at all.
A soft reboot solves these issues for me as well.
I am hoping that the Jan. update corrects this issue, because I do enjoy the HD7 very much.
had the same problem, it was caused when i set the alarm and the alarm was setting off but could not wake me, so the alarm was like ringing for hours, then when i woke up, i see in my screen the snooze and dismiss buttons. so i press dismiss.. but the all sounds from phone were gone...(rings, notfications, music).. i had to softreset the phone to get it working again.
I think that the problem is that the phone take a deep sleep if you push it off. Perhaps MS reduce the cpu power or clock speed in Standby-Mode to save battery life.
I dont know it shure, but the phone responds same as my old blackstone with installed
nueClockControl which allows you to change the clock speed.

I'm having the sound issue but soft reset didn't help. Any other thing that I can try to fix it?
So apparently with Google's new priority notification setup in Lollipop, there's no way to get notifications on your phone without having your phone vibrate. That is, there's no silent mode. You can either turn off your notifications to avoid vibrations, or leave notifications on without sound but still always get the vibrations - you can't get notifications without vibrations. THIS SUCKS. Why does it suck? Well...
Example 1: I have an LG G watch. Since my G watch vibrates for all of my notifications, I typically disable vibrations on my phone so that my phone isn't constantly buzzing on my desk. In 5.0, I can no longer do this. That means that every time I get an email (or any other notification, but email notifications are coming in all day), my damn phone buzzes in addition to my watch. Oh, and to make matters worse, the GMail app vibrates on notifications EVEN THOUGH I disabled vibration for notifications in the settings. This bug has been around for a few versions of GMail now.
Example 2: Bedtime. I typically put my phone in silent mode (no sounds + no vibrations) so I'm not woken up while sleeping. But I'll often check my phone while in bed before falling asleep, or overnight if I wake up, just to see if I have any notifications. Now? You can't do that. You have to put the phone in "None/Do Not Disturb" mode to avoid getting woken up by vibrations, but if you want to then check to see if you have any notifications, you have to toggle out of that mode.....then toggle back in after checking.
WTF was Google thinking with all of this nonsense? I can't be the only one with use cases that their new setup totally screws up.

Wow.. I am still learning the new Lollipop features but if this is true that would be pretty sad for me too.
I am sure someone will make an Xposed module for this. Oh, wait...
There will certainly be options in custom ROMs.

I just tested priority notifications and sent myself an email. The phone didn't buzz and no LED light flashed but when I turned the screen on, the notification was there. Is this not what you want?
The worst thing is that if you want to disable buzzing and put the phone on DND mode, you WILL miss any alarm you've set. Especially if it's for the bedtime...
I agree all with you.. I don't like this new setting. When I'm at school and my phone vibrate, my teacher will hear it

Hmmm. Thank you. I'm going to mess around with this more. I wonder what a connected Android Wear device will do in such a situation.
Either way, Google really has made this all way more complicated than it should be, IMO. This shouldn't require all of this thought/setup. Why not add all of their priority stuff and just leave silent mode in there as an option? Sometimes I want my phone COMPLETELY silent. No sounds, no vibes at all, and no thinking about which apps are "priority" apps. This is an extra level of unneeded complexity.

I just think people aren't used to change. It seems like everyone is acting like there is only normal and none and not thinking about priority. I think priority is good for when you want things silent but in case of an emergency you can allow certain notifications in. Like messages or calls from specific people and no one else. Yeah it's a little more elaborate but it's effective I think.
Dude priority mode is what you are asking for. No vibration but you we get notifications. So when you need to silence you phone set it in priority. Now it's even better. Want to receive call or message from someone important? Set your phone to priority mode and add them to the list. Phone will be silent but will ring of that person calls/messages.

Admittedly, I'm sure that not liking change is part of it. I also do see the benefit of priority mode - I really do. I just think Google could have easily implemented their new priority mode and still left in the very basic silent/vibrate/ringer functionality.

Priority notifications...
THERE IS SILENT MODE WITHOUT VIBRATE! LED NOTIFICATION WORK FINE! JUST REEEADDD THIS. OR PIN THIS THREAD!

That is not what the OP is referring to. Priority mode is not what people want. No interruptions = there will be no notification light, and there will be no heads up while the phone is in use. It should be something that you can just set up and leave alone. The first 2 developer previews actually had a silent mode where you could long hold the sound icon in the volume window and it would go to real pre-lollipop silent mode.
I also have the same issue. I have a pebble watch that literally forwards every kind of notification I want, and I don't like my vibrator to be running at the same time. I think google needs to address this and bring back silent mode by 5.0.1. I'm sure 3rd party roms such as AOSPA or CyanogenMOD will have this, but AOSP stock should have a no-brainer silent mode.
I was wondering about this too.
So, if I have the volume all the way up, set to priority with events and reminders, calls and message all OFF. Will the phone only make noise with an alarm?
And setting it to none be the same but killing the alarm too?

This is,what OP wants. You just dont know, how set this. It's very easy. I was confused and pissed first. No silent mode, and no notifaction led? But now works perfect. In middle mode you can set, that your phone will be ring/vibrate just when you get a message, and set on silent mode for phone call. Or reverse, or, alot more ....... People just need manual for this, because first time is very confused.

Just noticed something else.
I'm playing music on right now, and the volume rocker controls only that. I can't see a way to changing the ringer volume or priority settings when music is playing (short of diving into the settings) That's a pain in the ass.
I am having issues --- Notifications push to the device, however they don't "pull" if that's a thing... example.. I am on the laptop and get an email, hear the notification on phone and light - check and delete the email in gmail on my laptop... Notification stays on phone... it used to go away.. Maybe it is just me or "I no lollipop well".. ha
Edit** may have been a Google issue both N5 & N7 are now pushing and pulling notifications..... fwiw

What, is this why today I missed waking up in time for work?
I was still getting system notification sounds, even on priority set to only calls/texts from starred contacts.
I wish silent was still an option like it was on Dev Preview 1. I've been using android phones exclusively since 2010 and this is just what I like.
Someone hack the silent state from the first preview, please.
Hi, sometimes I will put my phone on silent and on a couple of occasions, I have been awake when my alarm is due to go off, and the screen changes to the alarm screen and has the slider to turn it off, but there is no sound at all.
Most of the time there is, but I wonder why sometimes there isn't.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have checked the alarms, and they all have the volume set to full.
Regards
James
It happened to me too. Today too. I would like to understand if there is a issue or I am to switch off the alarm while sleep
