Android and vibrate

[USER1999]

I have an htc one. I like the phone, but recent android updates are driving me nuts. I can't turn off vibrate for incoming emails. Not in the app, not globally, not if I turn the sound off, ring tone off, what ever. And it doesn't just buzz once, oh no, it buzzes until I look at it. It's rubbish.

All I want is the flashing green light, and a single bing noise. I had this, but now I dont.

I'm not fond of Apple, but if this isn't resolved very quickly android and htc can shove it.

It's an original htc one, using gmail, and android 4.4.3.

I have never had this issue until recently, and it's driving me nuts. I now have all notifications turned off, or it will buzz away all night. It's now like waiting for the post to arrive. I have to power it up, and fire up the app to check for emails.

Open Gmail

Go into the app settings menu.

Touch your profile name (not general settings) and that will take you to notification settings.

Turn off vibrate within that and you should be fine.

Shouldn't have anything to do with Android or HTC. Purely down to the app.

Nope, I have tried this, and it has no effect what so ever.

Well then you've stumped me. Something is sending the notifications to the system. If you've turned it off on the phone and app then it's something else sending it. I assume you've got the up to date version of the app.

Go into the app management via system setting and try turning it off there for the gmail app or uninstall gmail completely to be sure. This should stop all notifications from the app. See if that stops it and if it still happens then something else is pushing the notifications and you'll need to track it down to stop it.

Switch your phone off, or if you use it as an alarm clock (like I do), switch it onto aeroplane mode.
