I would like to make notifications for certain Apps, Facebook for instance, to be less invasive?

Here's what I see in the settings for Apps notifications...


If I block all then I wouldn't see in the main screen if Facebook has new notifications. On the contrary it would make the normal notification sound. With my other phones I could chose to get visual notifications but without sound.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

If you figure it out please share. I want different notification vibrations for email/bbm/sms. On Z30 I had one short vibration for email. Two short for sms. Two long for BBM. Worked great. Not I get one generic notification for everything... it bites

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get my notification the way I want them. I have file managed the folders to death but for some reason one of them refuses to show up as an option for BBM. Blackberry should release their notification system as an app. Hell, I would pay for it.

Notification system on Android is a mess.

For SMS, open the "Messenger" app, touch the 3dot menu in top right, touch "settings" and then choose the sound from in there.

Similar applies to other apps such as phone app, BBM, etc. In the Hub, you can pick sound for individual accounts which are connected in Hub (email, facebook, twitter, etc). Open Hub, on top left, touch the three-line setting, scroll down to "settings" then select an account to deal with.

Agreed, would be nice to have access to all the notification settings of all apps in one place like on BlackBerry OS.

Android seems infantile in many ways.

Definitely makes a person appreciate the BB10 OS a little more.

Maybe this two links bring a light to the end of the tunnel:

It should work on the same way with the DTEK50.

In a related thread...... conite suggested a sound/notification profile app = 'Sound Profile' (Corcanoe)

There is a lite (free) version and an add free Pro (paid) option.

I opted for the paid option at about $3.

It allows a 1 stop profile set up with ample profiles available (Normal, Quiet, Silent, Night, Calls Only, Airplane........ etc.). I just received DTEK50 yesterday and just started messing with 'Sound Profile' so I can't vouch for it 100% myself. But, I trust conite's recommendation and read reviews....... it's looks pretty good and appears to be as close as you can get to BB10 like settings.

Good luck!!!!!! I agree that the Android system is a mess in this regard. Settings are all over the place.......even an Airplane mode setting in the Calendar of all places......... go figure.

Does it allow for multiple vibrations too ? My phone is often on vibrate only, so multiple vibrations is huge for me.

I just found where u can set multiple vibrations (1-5) for at least email accounts in the hub settings. The messenger twitter, BBM, etc do not have the option.

Using hub settings.... You could set vibrations (2-5) for email accountsl and just have single vibration for other. This should get close to what you are looking for.

Your welcome ............ found by accident............ I just needed to turn off the slot machine. Way to many vibrations, ringers and blinkies for me. I had to turn some off.

Anyway, I'm glad it helped!!
