This started when I updated to the official Android 10, been on the beta since the start. Haven't had any problem with notifications while on the beta. When the screen is on, I'll hear notifications like normal, but as soon as the screen goes off, no sound will play. It's only for notifications too, the phone will ring if I get a call and music will continue playing. I've checked DND settings and don't see anything that would indicate it's being turned on automatically.
Discovered what was causing it. Fit Notifications by Smart Dinosaurs Entertainment broke once Android 10 1.0 released. App hasn't been updated since last year, but it was working perfectly on the beta.

So I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything for this issue. Even though all the settings are correct and i have vibrate checked in the messages app, my phone won't vibrate for notifications like text messages all the time. Sometimes it will vibrate and sometimes it won't. So my phone will be in my pocket and I'll check it 30 minutes later and see 3 or 4 texts but it never vibrated. I exchanged my phone and am having the same issues. Everything is stock. Has anyone had this problem?
the phone vibrates, it just does it too softly for you to feel it... that's the problem with light phones, the original epic 4g could cause an earthquake but that's because it was gigantic, I never felt the epic 4g touch, and this one I feel it at times...

no it definitely doesn't vibrate. I've set it on the table and texted it and it'll vibrate on every 10th text or so. usually it'll just light up for the notification but it won't vibrate.

menu/settings/sound...........make sure sound and vibration are checked. that is the default for the entire phone even if vibration is enabled in messaging. also make sure your vibration intensity is all the way up.

Yes that's already been checked and vibration intensity is all the way up. The phone does vibrate on some texts, but not most, which is what the problem is.
I've noticed it'll vibrate normally when the screen is on and I get a text, but it won't when the screen is off?
I've definitely seen bugs in phones in which things like notification LEDs didn't work when the phone was in sleep mode. Whaddya know, I recall one of them being a Samsung (Intrepid). Granted it was years ago and Windows Mobile 6.5, but whoever was coding notification and power management back then wasn't fully aware of the point of "notifications".
Then again I just sent myself a test to the Note 2 while the screen was off... phone vibrated, screen turned on briefly (I hate that), blue light started blinking, heard my notification sound, and screen turned back off.
So there's something interfering with your phone's ability to wake up while it is trying to notify you. Have you done any power management modifications or installed anything designed to save battery power?

I haven't changed any power management settings or downloaded any apps designed to save power. I've tried factory resets several times. The phone will vibrate for texts but after about 30 minutes or so goes back to not vibrating. I've called samsung and taken it to the sprint store and no one can figure it out. I first thought the motions was causing te problems but it still doesn't vibrate when those are off. I'm completely out of ideas.
EDIT: I may have figured it out, if I turn on "Wake up in lock screen" in the settings in S Voice, the phone stops vibrating on texts. When I turn it off, the phone vibrates again. Toggled it on and off and the changes were immediate. Does anyone else have this problem??
I've been trying to figure out why my Galaxy S3 (i747M/I747MVLALI3/Virgin Mobile Canada-Bell) screen would light up in the middle of the night numerous time, sometimes 4 times a night. There's no specific time either.
I'm running the leaked OTA ROM. I checked my notification, and made sure there's no new notification. The only three ongoing notification are:
• Battery Reborn Widget
• No SIM - (yes, not using this device as a phone)
• Blocking Mode - I set this to Disable incoming calls, notifications, LED indicator between 00:00 AM - 08:00 AM.
I know I can turn over the phone, but that's a not solution as this is obviously an abnormal behaviour.
Is there a way I can check out what's causing the phone to wakeup randomly?
Or even better, is there a way to emulate iOS 6's Do Not Disturb's feature in Android? (absolutely no audible/haptic notification, blocks all calls that aren't on the whitelist - but given an exception if the same number calls within a short period of time).
There is an option in JB for DND hours. As far as it randomly turning on, this is looking like a known bug. I found your post by searching for info about it myself.
Hello all!
I'm coming here from an exploding Note 7, returned that and have a temporary HTC Desire 530 as a placeholder (it sucks hard). Trying to decide if I want this phone or not. I have one question I haven't seen discussed.
Can you put the phone in silent mode without turning on Do Not Disturb mode? DND mode makes both my Android Wear and my TizenOS smartwatches worthless.
In the phone I have right now when you put the phone in silent it turns on Do Not Disturb mode, meaning my watches get NO notifications. I loved on my last few phones I could have a silent phone, but still get notifications from both the notification light and my watch. In my current phone if you turn off DND mode then it goes into vibrate mode which vibrates extremely loud on my desk at work. My only option has been to get a silent mp3 file for my ringtone and notification sounds. PITA switching sounds when I get home from work every day.
If you can put the phone in silent mode (no vibrate for notifications/ringing, no sound for notifications/ringing) but still get vibration notifications on smart watches and the notification light then I'm sold!
Can anyone shine some light on this for me?
This HTC Desire 530 is sucking my will to live. I need subtle vibration notifications on my wrist throughout the work day on projects/emails/etc with a silent (and not vibrating) phone.
This isn't a limitation of the phone or the phone specific software, this is simply how android marshmallow and up works

Not on the LG G4, LG G5 or Galaxy Note 7. On both those devices I can drop the phones volume down to silent mode and it still:
A) Turns on the notification light
B) Vibrates my Android Wear watch
I have no idea what genius thought they should create a mode that nixes one of the main smart watch selling points baked right into the OS. =(
I want notifications on my wrist without my phone vibrating - why is that such a crazy thing? lol
If anything I should be able to disable Do Not Disturb mode and restore regular normal functional silence mode through a custom ROM or root or something... maybe?
Also you didn't say if this does this for sure. If you set your OP3 into silent mode, can you still allow ALL notifications in this mode? I know the OP3 is supposed to be customizable but I'm not sure to what extent.
It seems like ever since Oreo (currently running Pie) my notifications have been really screwed up and I'm at a loss as to how to fix it. I need help lol.
1) With screen off, a lot of times I won't get any notifications until I wave my hand over the proximity sensor.
2) Sometimes my LED doesn't turn on. Like, I'll grab my phone and there'll be a notification on the lock screen, but the LED doesn't alert me to it. Other apps don't flash the LED at all even though it's turned on in settings.
3) I never get voicemail notifications. At all. And I can see missed phone calls if I open the phone app, but there's otherwise no indication of missed calls. Wtf!
I've tinkered with all of the notification settings to no avail. I also noticed the number of options that can affect notifications seems a complicated mess. I'm a bit disappointed at what the Android notifications have become.
Can anyone offer any help with this?
Hey all, I've had a pixel for the last 5 or 6 years and switched to the s22. One thing that I miss is the Pixel would wake the AOD, show only the new notification, then sleep the AOD. I liked it because it's a way to see breaking news, or important notifications without having the AOD always on.
The S22 doesn't seem to have this, and there's plenty of apps on the app store that can wake the screen. But those apps don't show the newest notification only, they just wake the screen. I tried aodNotify but it's not quite there since it doesn't sleep the AOD after showing the notification.
Maybe a tasker profile? I've found tasker profiles that can wake the AOD - similar to the Glimpse Notifications app - but none that focus on the new notification itself.
Does anyone know of a way to try and emulate this?

I think what you're referring to is called ambient display. I think Samsung pretty much disabled it on their phones in favor of their own implementation of AOD. The only way I can think of adding it back is via a custom ROM (based on AOSP) but it would come with its own problems of course. I remember being able to bring it back with root but as of Android 9 it didn't work for me anymore. I don't think something like tasker would bring it back either, unfortunately.
I think you're right about the ambient display, that sounds familiar. Bummer Samsung disabled it. Maybe the aodNotify app is my best bet then
There is a function in the AOD settings. "Show for new notifications". I use that, it has the screen off until a notification comes up, then turns on the AOD screen. Once you look at the notification or hit the power button, it shuts off AOD until the next notification.
I don't remember if it shows the popup for reading texts or email, would have to play with that.
I believe aodNotify will solve your problem. It's perfect, has a ton of customizability options, and doesn't drain as much battery,
