Not seeing an option to turn off vibrate when receiving notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

This isn't my first Galaxy S device so I know my way around all the settings but this one has me scratching my head. When my device is in 'Sound' mode my phone still vibrates when receiving notifications and I'm not seeing an option to turn it off in the Settings or Notification settings. Is anyone else running this issue? or is my phone just odd?

go into settings -> sounds and vibration -> vibration intensity
find the notification slider and turn it all to the left to turn vibrations off entirely

Yup, vibration intensity should give you all the adjustments you need for calls, notifications, etc.

The only problem with this method is that when my device is in 'Vibrate' mode, my device won't vibrate when I receive a notification. I even went to Bestbuy to check out their demo devices, and it turned out that even their devices were missing that option. I don't understand how/why Samsung would leave out such important feature. Fortunately for us, Samsung is one of those companies that actually listen and care about what their consumers want so hopefully they'll release a firmware update that addresses this issue.

Settings, sounds and vibration, vibrate while ringing?

I don't want my phone to vibrate while it rings or whenever I receive a text message. I want my phone to vibrate when in 'Vibrate' mode.

Same problem here. They completely removed the option to have your phone not vibrate with texts when sound is on. Wtf

[Q] script request

Is it possible to have a script that totally removes the vibration feature?
You don't need script. Disable from Settings -> Sound setting -> vibrate feedback

I know that but doesn't always work. If you receive a txt while talking on the phone it vibrates, if you restart your phone it vibrates and couple of other actions I don't remember
Uncheck everything that has vibrate under setting -> sound, and vibrate should be completely disabled

dude im telling you that doesn't always do the trick
If you uncheck both vibrate and vibrate feedback, under what circumstances will the device vibrate?

that's why I need a script, it still vibrates when I receive a call, it still vibrates when I receive a txt while on the phone, it still vibrates when restart it. unchecking all the vibration and haptic feedback doesn;t work

while i dont have a script for you, the vibrate on call when you receive a text can be unchecked under your messaging app. I dont know of a way to get rid of the vibrate when it powers on. just thought id try and help a little.

Every HTC device i had in the last 4 years have done this, different ROMs, different O.S's (windows, android) so i guess this is a hardware thing (maybe a quick self test?).
Other than stripping the device apart and un-plugging the vibration unit you won't get a totally vibration free device..

Disable vibrate in ICS

Is there any method to fully disable the vibrate function in ICS? Although it says it's disabled in the settings, it keeps vibrating when i turn of the volume and receive an email for example. I just want it off, at all times.
thx
Wondering this too. Need to turn this off completely. I am getting a loud noise on the top left of tablet when the vibrate goes off.

Go to settings, sound, and uncheck vibrate and ring, and vibrate on touch then retart the tablet. It should not vibrate any more.

That helps for sure, but doesn't disable completely.
For example if you turn the volume on the side of the tablet all the way down it goes off and it will vibrate playing some games.
I'd like to know this too... how to completely disable vibrate at all times (muting, power on/off, in apps, etc).
My vibrate motor started going bad over the last couple days, and now produces an annoying rattle sound.
I don't need the vibrate anyways, so would love to disable it.

Mute/Vibrate problems

Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?

I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications

[Q] Turn on notification sound when screen is locked/off

Where can I find the setting to turn on the notification sound when the screen is off (locked)? The phone is not muted.

Is it only the sound which is missing or do you not get notifications at all?
If it's only the sound, individual apps have their own settings for notifications, but it'd be odd if all of them have them turned off.
I guess it's more likely that the phone disconnects from WiFi when idle. This can be fixed through settings -> wifi -> advanced -> keep Wifi on during sleep: always.
I can get the notification. It's just the phone not vibrate or play any sound to notify me something is happening. I did the same test on my Nexus 7 tablet, and it vibrates and plays a sound.

In setting -> sound ->volumes there's a "ringtone and notifications" section. Could it be that from some reason it's all the way down?
The "ringtone and notifications" is already set to max.

How to turn off Vibration for notifications

Am trying to de-activate vibration for notifications while having notification sounds active - previous devices I've used have had the option to keep sound on (notifications, calls, alarms) but turn off vibration completely, whereas I can't find a way to leave sound on but turn vibration off.
Most notifications are for Whatsapp, have turned off Vibration for all settings I could find within Whatsapp settings. Can't find anything that relates specifically to Vibration in the Xperia settings though. Am running stock standard setup for the Compact (just purchased a few days ago).

If you're receiving vibration when sound is on, it's the app causing it. The regular "sound on" profile is for sound only. Your app should not vibrate unless you set the device to the vibrate profile but a lot of apps do it anyway. I don't use those apps.
