Impossible? Vibrate on incoming calls but silent/no vibration for all notifications

[Android Central Question]

Been trying this for hours now, what am I missing? I have manually set the notifications for all individual apps so they don't vibrate. But they keep vibrating.

I have the phone (the hardware slider thingy on the side) set to vibration. Is that the problem? But the other options seem worse as I don't want sounds and I don't want full silence.

What I am trying to achieve:

- vibrate on incoming calls, no ringtones
- no vibration and no sound for any notifications
- sounds for alarms

What am I missing, this shouldn't be difficult right? OnePlus 5T android 9

Yup, since you're setting your sound options (phone) to Vibrate, anything that prompts a notification will, instead, vibrate. If you set your phone to sound, and your app's individual notification is set to no vibration, then it will just make a sound.

For what you want, Do Not Disturb mode should do the trick, just set your phone calls as an exception (alarms should still make a sound, but test it out first lest you sleep through an important one).

Thank you, this seems to do the trick indeed! Will test it some more but happy with the solution. Although I must say I don't find the notifications and sound settings very intuitive...
