Re: Thank you and suggestions

When turned on as an Accessibility Service, necessary for VN to monitor things I need like Google Voice, VN does run all the time (and should not be stopped), making memory footprint a concern, since it can contribute to lag, so please do your best to minimize it. Thanks.

While there may well be some more knowledgeable people using it that way, my experience from supporting Android users is that most people don't know to use Airplane Mode to silence their phones overnight -- instead they turn phones off, turn volume all the down, or engage Silent Mode, and in the latter two cases there can be events.

As an Android developer myself the logic seems pretty straightforward to me, and as a user it seems more logical to me to have the phone start vibrating in the morning when there have been events, than to ignore and possibly miss them.

That said, I'm now using Ring Scheduler instead of VN Silent, so it's no longer something that matters to me personally. ;)

Thank you for responding.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks for point that out, totally forgot about that :D

made some process changes and now the running part should be ~ 2.5 mb when the notification observer is enabled. i will upload the new version as soon as possible

Anybody got this working on ics? It doesn't work for me. Works fine on gb.

Sent from my ICS CM9 HD2.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
works fine on ICS. press the question mark icon to check if you have set a notification tone and some other common issues
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
CM9 is not ICS

Works fine here on real ICS running on Nexus S.

Your problem is probably CM9. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Aitrus:
Ok I'll try that. Most be my rom than don't know if its alpha or beta ics so things could be still missing.

EDIT!!! Ok I found out why it wasn't working for me... operator error lol. I'm using the widget to turn it on and off with the custom colors and I was going by the color then the words. Sooo ya it works fine. Sorry haha

Did you finally made this?

I tested delayed lock intends with llama and works fine, it would be great to use it with vibration notifier to (i prefer BLN when in home or office and vibration out)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
you could try it with this broadcast intent: de.j4velin.vibrationNotifier.TOGGLE to enable/disable the app
[Android Apps and Games] BlackRocks:
Thank you and suggestion

Hello j4velin, hello @all :-)

Some days ago I found this app in the market.

As far as I can say, it works fine on a HTC Wildfire S. Great app.

I read this thread and found posts by JNavas2 and you answer.

I'ld like to say, that this is the way, I would have expected the app to work. The main goal is, to show me that I missed some events. If there are missed events within silent time, I would prefer, if VN would draw my attention to this (after silent time).

Would be really great, if this feature could be added...

Thank you for this app and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] loqan:
Nice app ;)

I think I dont need it right now...but i will keep eyes on this thread. Maybe in future its gonna be useful for me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jeromepearce:
Urp! :eek:

Physical movement requires massively more energy than CPU or even LED. Fact of physics.
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
It may require more power, but the amount of power consumed is nonetheless miniscule. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] marclooman9:
works great on ics
[Android Apps and Games] Rageltus:
Hi!

Great App! But is it possible to made the following construction:

- Notification is comming

- Screen on -> vibrate and sound

- Vibrate notifier rembers the notification for a specified time

- on each remind -> vibrate and sound AND screen on

- stop remind when user unlocks the phone with pin or slide

?? Is it possible ??

Thank u very much!

PS: The code is not open?

Danke
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, i'd receive a lot of bad reviews from people without a lockscreen if i'd implement this...

also as there is no API call for turning the screen off, the app would turn the screen on and it would stay awake until the screen times out - and i guess that wouldnt be very good in terms of battery usage.

code is not open source yet and i dont know if or when that'll change
[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:
what about battery performance with this compared to noled?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
try it :D

i think NoLED doesnt use much battery on AMOLED screens, but I also couldnt get VibrationNotifier show up on the battery usage activity. I don't think vibrating for 500ms every minute or so consumes much power (and you can also set it to beep instead of vibrating)
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
The problem with turning on the screen is that it burns down the battery rapidly. :eek:

The whole point of this app is alerting you without burning down the battery. :)

If you must have the screen turned on, "there's an app for that": NoLED. ;)

Which does burn down the battery even with AMOLED screen. :(
[Android Apps and Games] letraz:
And what about this app vs capacitive buttons notification? Wich one will drain more battery?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
just test it. of course, powering on a vibration motor does require more electric power then turnin on a LED but i think you wont really notice the difference
[Android Apps and Games] Rageltus:
You are all right with screen in. But can the app send an intent ihr Broadcast when the timer goes of and it Vibrator goes on?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
it already does send a broadcast:

de.j4velin.vibrationNotifier.intent.KEEP_VIBRATING
[Android Apps and Games] ferdossi:
Hi,

Is there an app in "Other app" list that can handle recurring notifications for missed voice mail messages?

For example you drive in a tunnel with no network, someone leaves a voice message on your phone et would like to have a reminder on this missed voice message.

GSII - Android 2.3.6
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Missed notifications when out of service

No other app is needed -- when you get back in service (exit the tunnel), the wireless network will send any missed notifications to your mobile device, just as if the voice mail had just been left.
[Android Apps and Games] ferdossi:
True, I get that notification, but in my case VN doesn't handle this notification as a SMS so I don't get recurring alerts for them.
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Add the app which gives you that notification to Apps in VN.

If you touch the notification, it will probably launch that app.

(In the case of T-Mobile USA, the app is Visual Voicemail.)
[Android Apps and Games] userwaldo:
I have Vibration Notifier installed in AT&T Samsung Gallaxy S-II (i777) with Cynogenmod 9.0, but it couldn't get it to work. I turns out that if you set Settings -> Advanced -> Haptic 0%, then no vibration notifications will work.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
is that setting part of cm9? cant find it on my device
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
Hi!

2 suggestions to make it even better:

* Vibrate only when Phone is in Vibrate or Sound+Vibrate Mode. So i mean to check if the Vibrate-Checkbox at incoming calls is set. I did it like that:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 16) { // JELLYBEAN 4.1
if (callsSilentSetting==AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE)
VibratePlease=true;
[B]if (Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(), "vibrate_when_ringing")==1)[/B]
VibratePlease=true;
if (callsSilentSetting==AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT)
VibratePlease=false;
}

* Vibrate also when the Notification appears. So we could set all vibrate settings in the other apps to "no/never" and your app will take control of vibration settings for notifications.

:good::fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] weltact:
false notifications

Hi

I just started using this app and I really like it.

I'm having a problem with it though:

I'm getting false notifications quite frequently. That is I'm getting vibrations and then when I switch on the screen, there is no notifications.

And also, with these false notifications sometimes the vibration goes on for a lot longer than 5 seconds that I set up, something like 20-30 seconds..

I would really like to keep using it, but this really bugs me.

Could you please give me some advice on how to troubleshoot this.

Thank you

P.S. I'm on Cyanogenmod 7 and HTC Desire, Vibration notifier v. 1.4.5.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
please install the attached debug version and send me a log once that happens
[Android Apps and Games] weltact:
Ok I've installed this debug, and I had a few false positives since, how do I send you a log?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
you need an app like alogcat to read and send the logs. make sure to send them as soon as the issues occurs, otherwise the logs will be overwritten with other logging stuff
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Except if you're on Jelly Bean, which no longer allows apps like alogcat to gather logs for other apps.

(See Problems accessing message logs on Jelly Bean with aLogcat.)

So starting with Jelly Bean, apps need to gather their own logs.

Gmail vibration not working on Jelly Bean 4.2.1

Finally works on SG4.

Hi all,

Finally worked on my SG4.

But would like to include a future for vibration but with intervals instead of continuous .

I would like to have more than 1 interval and if possible to pick days of the week as well.

Thanks for help.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
new beta version uses the new Android 4.3 Notification Listener instead of the accessiblity service workaround. To get the beta, join the Google+ community (https://plus.google.com/communities/111833704153720235400) and register for beta access to the app (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.j4velin.vibrationNotifier)
[Android Apps and Games] RealWotan:
Mhmm...this work-around does not work on my S4 mini. I tested options below:

1. GMail hooked alone - VN does not working

2. GMail hooked and add by app - VN does not working

3. GMail not hooked and add by app - VN does not working.

Its a cool tool for SMS, calls and whatsapp! Is there a solution/workaround for GMail?

Hi j4velin,

thanks for this nice app, I've been using this for a while now, but since several weeks it does seem to work properly for me. I'm using the CM 10.2 nightly for my I9100. Is there any way I can provide some debugging information? Is there a special term I can check for in the catlog?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
install & use the attached version. it'll create a logfile in /sdcard/

Accessibility Service disabled at startup

Hi all,

I love Vibration Notifier, but I have a problem with its Accessibility Service : each time I reboot my phone, it switches from 'enabled' to 'disabled' status. So I'm not notified for missed mails notification.

I'm a new Android user, my phone is a Wiko Ozzy with Jelly Bean 4.2.2, could anyone give me some help ?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
I hoped the new v2 might fix the longstanding Gmail problem, but now nothing seems to be working! :crying:

Suggestions?

Device model: Nexus 5

Android version: 4.4.4 (KTU84P)

Carrier: T-Mobile USA
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Which longstanding Gmail problem? Gmail worked fine for me on the older versions, and the new versions works fine for me too ^^ Please install the attached debug version and send me the log file
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
1. See posts 122, 124, 125, 128, and bug

http://j4velin-systems.de/bugtracker/view.php?id=45 (now apparently deleted).

See also recent Play Store reviews:

2. Where is the log file located??? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
I'm pretty sure those 2 year old bug reports have been fixed about 1,9 years ago or so :D

Sorry for that, I think I forgot to add the permission to write to external storage to the debug version (normal version doesnt need that permission, but without the debug version can't create the logfile). Attached version requests that permission now. Log should then be created at /sdcard/VibrationNotifier.log
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
No, unfortunately -- I just didn't pursue it given the work-around.

Still no sign of a log file. Proper location would normally be /emulated/0/ or /sdcard0/
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Well, I didn't receive any bug report (except the one from you on dec 2012) from any other user and was unable to reproduce the issue on all my devices - so I wasn't really convinced that there is an issue with the app

I don't exactly know the location of the "external storage" on your device, but yeah, it should be something like those folders. Just keep the debug version installed until you receive some notifications, the app should create the file once there is something to log (you can check if the app has permission to write to external storage in the Android app settings)
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
See #128 and #131, and Reviews on the Play Store:

8/14/2014:

Doesn't work I installed the app and set it to vibrate for 1s for 5 mins if i missed a call or got an SMS or whatsapp message when the screen it off. However, it does nothing at all. Do I need to do something else?
​

7/30/2014:

Doesn't do anything Although it seemingly installed fine and let me do configuration settings without quibble, it actually failed to do so much as a single quiver with any of my apps. Droid RAZR Maxx.
​

7/26/2014:

Works, but with one problem...

The Gmail notification does not work.

Everything else works fine. GS3 v4.3. Using Galaxy S 5 v4.4.2, I cannot seem to find a way to change the beep sound.
​

Need I go on?

There is still

no sign of any log file

despite receiving

several emails and several messages

.

Update: FWIW, I notice that VNv2 does

not

stay Running or Cached.

Perhaps that has something to do with the problem.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Update 2: As a test I reinstalled v1.5.8, and it works as expected with Gmail added as an app.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Oh damn, I know the issue: I forgot to implement a really important check in the v2.0 version. Please manually enable the app as notification listener in the Android settings, somewhere on the security tab I think. The app should then work as expected (or at least create the log).

edit: Fixed version attached
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
:laugh:

At last! That generates a log file and, more importantly, makes the app work (even for Gmail)! Assume you don't need the log. Look forward to a non-debug version.
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Testing 2.0.1 from Play Store, Gmail notification does not stop after display has been turned on with that option selected even when display is unlocked. Do you want a log?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
No log necessary, I think I already know the issue. Was your display on the whole time between receiving the notification and actually vibrating? Because the app didn't check for that. Attached debug version should fix that and some other stuff ^^ Play Store version 2.0.2 contains the fix
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
This new version does indeed seem to work properly. Thank you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bonanza123:
When I noticed that correctly then vibrationnotifier keeps on notifying also when there is a persisting notification, right? For example Xabber stays in the notification area all the time whether there is a missed message or not. Is there anything I can do about it?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
According to the Android documentation, the app should detect a new event only if "new notifications [...] are posted", so I'd assume it only reminds once as long as the notification doesn't change
[Android Apps and Games] Faxman:
I can't believe that this app has been around so long and I've never come across it despite having used many similar (but inferior) apps and searching for many variations of 'Repeating Notifications' which don't bring this one up. I'm busily deleting other apps as I write this.

I've been on a particular quest since getting an Asus Zenwatch for Android Wear and spent a great deal of time trying different apps and talking to developers about adding wear support to their apps or developing something simple and elegant just like this.

Suggestion to [MENTION=1246899]j4velin[/MENTION]: Add more tags to get found by people searching for repeating notifications. Make sure that the app is shown in the 'Android Wear Apps' sub section of the Play store as accessed via 'Browsed Suggested Apps' at the bottom of the Wear App. Your Delayed Locker app is there but not this one.

I'm very happy with this app but have a couple of suggestions which I've also posted here: https://j4velindevelopment.uservoice.com/forums/203548-j4velin-development

1. Allow custom vibration pattern using the common ms on/off method. i.e. 1000,1000,2000,1000,3000 would result in a 1 second then 2 second then 3 second vibration with 1 second pause between each.

2. Add an option that allows the wear app control that mutes connected phone to also apply to the repeating notifications. It can be done with a combination of settings between the wear app and VN but would be nice to just make the change in one place.

My only other long term desire would be to allow custom patterns and intervals for each active app. i.e. tap on a specific app for custom settings vs default.

I'm pretty sure that most wear users will happily pay for the in-app premium. Since there are so few wear apps it would be easier to get seen there.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
I'd love to get more of my apps show up there, but I don't have any influence on that

That's definitly on my todo list

Not quite sure what you mean there

Also on my todo list for a looong time already :D
[Android Apps and Games] Faxman:
I would like to have only the watch notify if connected but have the phone notify if the watch is not connected.

If the 'notify both' setting is enabled the phone still notifies even if Android Wear is set to 'mute connected phone'

You may have already done it but I see that there are some methods by which to get in the dedicated Android Wear category here http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/wear.html

[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
I think the responsible app is just called "Google" or "Google Search" or something like that

I tried flashing the unofficial LG Ginegerbread update, and since then I can't disable the airplane mode. I get no cell reception. I even restored from a backup to mik's cyanogen mod, no luck there either. Then finaly used a KDZ update to restore to stock LG Rom, and even there I get no cell reception. What can I do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
I think you flashed wrong radio (not fmradio the baseband). Flash unofficial gingerbread made by Andy its there somewhere in the post maybe. Or clean flash a rom with formatting /system.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chejo:
Nope. Formatted using clokworkmod recovery and installed mik's gingerbread. But it still doesn't work.
