Hello, I'm using the latest gmail app - can anyone tell me how to possibly have my HTC One vibrate only for all incoming email when on the vibrate profile? I have put the phone in vibrate mode, and in the gmail app I have label notifications checked, a notification sound enabled but vibrate unchecked, and notify for every message checked in notifications as well as in label settings per the instructions from google (it's supposed to follow the logic that if you have a sound enabled then when you put the phone in vibrate mode it will just vibrate instead of play a sound, unfortunately this does not happen). I would like to have my gmail set up as follows:
Normal mode - just play a sound, do not vibrate for new email messages
Vibrate mode - just vibrate for new email messages
Silent mode - No sound or vibrate
The way things are working currrently are as follows:
Normal mode - just plays a sound (will also vibrate if I check off vibrate)
Vibrate mode - does not vibrate for new messages (will vibrate if I check off vibrate, but then this will make normal mode vibrate as well)
Silent mode - No sound or vibrate
You would think this would be easy, coming from iOS I should've known better. Any thoughts from the experts in this group? This is driving me nuts not being able to figure it out. Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Probably a way to do this in Tasker, not sure of another method without root access and custom ROM or something though.
I am rooted and running ARHD 8.1. I have tasker as well but not sure how that would help.

I've just flashed Phoenix 5.2 on my phone, but for some reason if my phone is in silent mode I get absolutely no vibration when I get a SMS message. I've checked the sound settings and the settings within the messages app itself but for the life of me I can't find where to turn vibrations on! If anyone could help me, that'd be fantastic!
Thank you!

If it's on silent mode, it is set so that no vibration notifications come in. You need to put your phone in vibration mode
Is there a vibration mode at all? I'm using the silent mode that you can get to by using either:
1. Sideloader
2. Top menu
3. Lock screens
When I used to be on Cognition, the silent mode automagically put everything in vibrate mode (to my memory)... Or I must've changed a setting somewhere to make it vibrate instead of making no sound/vibrations whatsoever.
Menu>Settings>sound>vibration > ALWAYS or ONLY IN Silent or ONLY not silent
if that just isnt doin it for you try the app "SMS pop up" it will take over the notifacations at the top and you can control the vibration how you want, with reminders if you dont answer right away and pop up windows with the txt, with privacy mode if lock screen is on, custom ring tones for custom people ect...
if you use sms pop up disable the regular sms notifacation.
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation

Thanks for that! I've also found out what the problem was! I've had "ALWAYS" on all the time!
The silent mode in Sideloader and Top menu makes it vibrate, but the Lock Screen's "Silent Mode" makes the whole phone just go mute.
I've had the Lock Screen set to the new 'Rotary Lock' that's available in Phoenix 5.2... and it seems to be only that Lock Screen's Silent Mode that causes this problem.
Silent Mode with the normal Android Lock Screen works fine (with vibrations and etc)
Does anyone think the default vibrate is a bit long?
I noticed you can create your own vibrate pattern (awesome feature), so I made a shorter one but it doesn't apply it!
Is that due to me being in vibrate mode only? But that doesn't make sense if so...
once you've created your pattern, make sure you recorded it (you are asked to give it a name for that).
then select it in the list of vibration patterns.

Yep, did that. It appears it only works for the ring tone and doesn't change the vibrate when in silent vibrate mode...
is it possible to disable the vibration when u switch into silence mode?
for example i have the normal mode activated and then press volume down until i hit "vibration mode" it vibrates - is it possible to disable that?
i a using llama to automatically switch into silence modes etc, i always thing i get a text message when i enter my work -.-
Please is possible disable vibrate when is delivered message or I touch list of applications on my launcher ? I don´t like vibrate ... in setting is option for disable vibrate for ringtone but not for other. Do you have some idea ? Thanks
I never use vibrate
Just picked up a Droid Turbo. I noticed when I have the phone in vibrate mode, I get a double buzz for EVERY notification on my phone, even on apps where I've specifically made sure to not enable vibrate.
For example, in the Messaging app, I've selected a notification sound, enabled notifications, but did not check the box next to vibrate. When I get a text, I get the double vibrate.
Is there something I'm missing, or is this a Moto bug/"feature"?
Unless you disabled notification sounds as well for the apps you are mentioning, you are describing the expected functionality for Android. Vibrate mode replaces all notification sounds with a vibrate patter. It does not simply disable sounds and leave only vibration preferences active.

Strange, I've had an LG and an HTC in the past and both behaved that way, where when vibrate mode was selected, it responded to each apps preferences.
Example scenario.
Gmail vibrate on notify, play sound on notify.
Google plus no vibration on notify, play sound on notify.
When in vibrate mode, id get buzzed for gmail as well as a notification icon, but for google plus id only get the notification icon.
If I put the phone into Vibrate mode, some apps like Textra and Line still play notifications and don't vibrate.
I would expect Vibrate more to only vibrate and make no sounds...
Have you guys run into that?
I just got the MIUI 9 update(although didn't try this before) and I'm trying various applications to allow me to effectively mute all notifications and allow phone calls to ring with sound. I've tried a few and they all work, but they seem to turn on DND mode and don't always release it leaving me with no sounds at all. Has anyone had any luck unlinking the phone and notifications with Nougat and MIUI?
Quick update...to simplify I downloaded silent.ogg and applied it to my default notification sound and each app that used special. This way I have ringing all the time with volume and all other notifications just visual and in some cases, to my watch. It works.
