Gmail Notification Vibrating

[saturatedfat]

So I just moved from an EVO LTE to the Note 3 and I'm having a very annoying issue with the Vibration/Notification setup. Previously I had my Evo setup to only vibrate when receiving a call or text message. The note 3 however will vibrate for everything (a call, a message, an email, etc).

Basically I don't want my phone to vibrate when receiving an email (Gmail, using Gmail App). At the same time I like the phone to vibrate when I receive a text message. I tried in phone/settings to turn the "Notification" vibrate level to 0 and then enable the Vibrate in Handcent but no dice, the phone will then not vibrate when receiving a text. I also double checked that the Gmail app is not set to vibrate on notification.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like this "fixed" as well. I want vibrations for text and phone calls but not emails when i vibrate mode.

I found this. Maybe a DEV can look at this and see if it can be changed to how it use to be?

You can change this under Gmail settings. Uncheck vibrate.

Open Gmail
Hit the Lower left menu button
Click Settings
Click [email protected]
Click Inbox sound & Vibrate
Uncheck Vibrate

I'll quote the OP here:

Yeah, that does not work. I'm learning to live with it but still annoying.

...handles email notifications better than what is described here. The Note 3 is at the top of my list...I have multiple gmail accounts...and this 'news' is not music to my ears. I'll be watching this thread carefully.

I remain interested in this thread...can it be verified that a stock Note 3 can be set up to ring for calls, vibrate for emails, and chime for texts/messages?

Never had any issues with notifications from gmail. Only apps I have set to vibrate, vibrate. I used to have that issue with the EVO LTE actually where I couldn't get gmail to stop vibrating. But it definitely doesn't vibrate now.

Hello everyone! I too had this problem. I solved it in a way that ONLY removed the vibrate from emails. Emails still made a sound (like I want them to, but you can make them soundless), and texts still vibrate and make sound. I'll put the solution first, then background below (background can be important because different carriers have slightly different Android builds).

To solve:

1. Open Gmail app
2. Click the menu button softkey (in case I have the name wrong, I mean the button to the left of the physical home button)
3. Click Settings. Here, you should see General Settings, [a list of your gmail account(s)], and About Gmail
4. Click on an account, it will open to another menu
5. Click on Inbox sound & vibrate (third option down for me)
6. On this new menu, look for the following two fields: Sound (leads to a "choose file" option); and Vibrate (a checkbox)
7. Quick side note: You may have discovered that unchecking Vibrate doesn't actually turn off vibrations. We need to go deeper.
8. Look at the Sound option. Does it currently say Default ringtone ([your notification tone]) ? If it does, that's the problem.
9. Click on Sound, then choose the sound you want from the menu (as opposed to leaving it on Default ringtone)
10. Leave Vibrate unchecked (because everyone likes specificity in their instructions)
11. Repeat for any other accounts you have
12. Enjoy the return of a calm pocket

This way, it should still play sounds when sound is enabled, but will never vibrate. My conjecture as to why this happens: the "default ringtone" is not simply just a ringtone, but also now has the vibrate inherently attached to it (if vibrate is enabled for texts). This is also probably why we cannot change the way the texts vibrate.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and am on Verizon in Oregon (in the off chance that states have different rollout dates). Before the update, which occurred this morning, my gmail notifications were set up to play the Bubbles sound (one of the stock options) and not vibrate at all. If the phone was in vibrate mode, no sound or vibration would occur, though it would still put a notification in the toolbar.

After the update, SO MANY VIBRATIONS! All of the things were vibrating. And while that isn't the only grievance I have with this update, it was the one I fixed.

Hope this helps.
