Hi,
everytime I check for new IMAP messages my phone (SGS2 running CM 10.1) vibrates wildly, following some weird patterns. I checked all places I could find and even though "Settings > Message Notifications > Enable notifications" is turned on, "Use Vibration" is turned off. How can I turn this permanently off?
Regards,
Andre

I guess you might have a per-account override for notifications.
Please long press the account -> special settings -> message notifications ("special" means they override app global ones, should I rename to "override settings"?)
-
I'm having the same problem and don't have any override settings set, yet it continues to vibrate sometimes, but not every time.
-
There is one other setting to check.
When running on Android 5.0 or higher, AquaMail notification settings (both places) have a checkbox to use "priority notifications".
These are "heads up style" notification panels, which show pre-expanded. Although not documented, they only work if I an app requests vibration.

So to clarify, if I want the "heads up style" notifications (i.e. I must enable "priority notifications to get these...?) then there is no way to disable vibration? In other words, the heads up style priority notifications *must* vibrate?
Please advise. Thanks.
(Marshmallow on Nexus 5X)

Yes, from the app's point of view (when "talking to" Android system code) --
"Please make it a heads-up notification" is ignored by the system unless the notification also has "please vibrate".
It's not mentioned in Android docs, but it is so.
-
Looks like in 6.0, heads-up works with a sound and no vibration.
In 5.1, it doesn't -- vibration is required.
I'll adjust my code's logic.
-
Hey thanks! That would be great...to get the heads up notifications without the vibrations.
-
Since version 1.6.0.1, AquaMail will not request vibration if the notification already has sound.
However:
If you indicated via app settings that you want those "priority" notifications -- and no sound -- then my app's code has no choice but request vibration (on the notification).
Maybe I wasn't clear -- Android can only display those "heads up / priority" notifications if they have either vibration or sound, or else the app's request for "priority look / feel" gets ignored.
