Notifications vibrating for sms/Signal even if all vibration option are turned off

Thank you for testing it.

Our team suggested this:

For advanced users you can disable all haptic feedback using adb command adb shell settings put system haptic_feedback_enabled 0 But that will completely disable vibrations on your device, no matter the mode or other settings.You cannot disable per app because it requires root access

you cant turn off vibrate for the alarm either.
Defeats the purpose of waking to a nice gradual and calm alarm tone, get woken by buzzing instead

If the only notifications are from Signal/Molly, there’s an even simpler workaround:

inside Signal, create a notification profile with no notifications at all and enable it permanently :wink:

@ploum Yes I’ve used that before. But I already have a shortcut of the notification log in my app so I can turn them on/off quickly

I’ve just got my Kompakt and I have this problem too… No side loaded apps. All haptic feedback is turned off in all settings but my SMS are vibrating.

@DP3 Have you tried this:

Thanks Urszula. I did see this but I have no idea how to do it! How do I do this? Thank you!

@DP3 Are you familiar with Android Debugging Bridge?

No - that sounds too complicated. Don’t worry - I can cope with it for now. Hopefully addressed in a software update!

This problem still isnā€˜t fixed unfortunately. When I mute the phone the incoming SMS still vibrates… and we still have not an option for that…

Are you referring to third-party notifications?

No, actually i refer to the pre-insatelled normal SMS App… but i solved the problem with adb… because there was no other way. It would have been great if we could turn off vibrations on the phone, without using adb. But now itā€˜s ok for me, with adb. But I guess not everyone would understand how to do it with adb…

shhhh don’t say you solved it, we need to keep being annoying so that these basic features are finally implemented :smile: Also with adb you still can’t easily switch back and forth when being outside

Our team is aware of this. I will follow up & check when they plan on implementing this.

Do not hope that Mudita will implement this anytime soon, your best bet is using hidden android settings and the workarounds to access them that we found ourselves, see the initial replies to this thread. (But even that is annoying to use and many built-in Android toggles are not accessible because Mudita messed with basic Android UI aspects like DPI and scrolling)

Custom ringtones & notifications are on the Mudita Roadmap for this year. The team is in the process of updating it, because we have a new Mudita Kompakt update rolling out soon- so there will be some changes to the info. Stay turned.

I find your previous messages a little confusing. It’s very clear that Mudita has just not implemented an option to completely mute SMS notifications, including vibrations (other than just switching to Offline mode). You keep asking if people are not using the native SMS app, and when they say they are, you provide a non-answer or a difficult work-around.

You claim your phone somehow doesn’t vibrate for texts, but then later on you claim that Mudita may implement this. Which one is it? Are everyone’s phones defective and just yours works? Or is it that they just haven’t implemented it? Your answers speak to both, and it’s certainly confusing.

Asking if people have turned off all the vibration settings is a non-solution, because none of those settings refers to notification vibrations. They refer to touch haptics and call vibrations. So why do you keep asking if people have those settings turned off, when it’s clear that they don’t relate to the issue?

Don’t get me wrong, I love this phone and community and what the company stands for. But I often see your answers in threads as skirting around the issue and it is creating unhappy customers. Just be upfront with us - it isn’t a big deal.

Welcome to the community @ayy2casey and congrats on your first post.

Too bad it’s quite hostile, IMHO. @urszula has been and is doing her utmost best for this community and I’m rather offended that you appear to turn this into a personal attack to her. We all know had there are still lots of challenges ahead, for some there’s a temporary workaround, for others there’s not. Rest assured the team is working hard on finalizing MuditaOS K 1.5.0 and @urszula makes sure that all feedback from the Community Forum and from Reddit is communicated to the responsible departments. This might not happen at the pace you’d want, but Mudita is a small company and changes take time, before they are rolled out.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your time here.

Kind regards,

Marco
