Ok, here is how best to describe it.
When my phone is on silent it still sometimes vibrates when a new text message comes in. It only does it though when my phone is idle and I go to check my phone on the lock screen. And it only does this sometimes, not all the time. I have turned off every vibration notification I have thought of. Again, it doesn't vibrate when I am active on my phone and it comes in, it only does it SOMETIMES when my phone is idle and away from me and then I pick up my phone and check and I'm on the lock screen. It only does this for text messages and I don't have any other problems for notifications on other apps that come through with a vibration. Only text messages.
The problem is I still like the notification that a text has come in so I don't want to turn off the notification completely. I know if I turn it off completely then my phone won't vibrate.
When my phone is on normal/loud I like the "ding" notification sound I get and everything is perfect with no vibration at all...but when I am on silent, I want no noise or vibration but still a notification showing I have a new text. I could do this just fine with my Galaxy S4 but for some reason it still does this stupid vibrate only when a new text comes in on the lock screen. I hate it but can't figure out how to get rid of it.
When I go to my regular settings and click sounds and vibrations, then click notification sound and then click messages notifications, the main one is "on", the notification sound is default whisper, and the vibrations toggle is off.
When I go to my text messages and click settings and then click notifications, I have the main one "on". The notification sound is set to default whisper, the vibrations toggle is off, the pop up display is off and the preview message is on which I like.
When I go to settings, then applications, then application manager, then click messages, then click notifications it is set as: allow notifications is on, set as priority is off, previews in pop ups is on, hide on lock screen is off, hide content on lock screen is off.
I just got this phone brand new last week. Is this enough details to make sense? Is this normal and happens to everyone else on this phone; possibly something you just can't turn off? Does everyone else have this and it's normal or no?
UPDATE: It actually just did it when my phone wasn't on silent but normal mode too but still only on the lock screen when I went to go check the new text message and my phone was idle!
