GALAXY S25 ULTRA: missing sounds and vibrations tab for a specific app

userU3tre4xBRg — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 18:25:39 GMT

I inadvertently turned off the SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS tab. Now it's missing and sounds and vibrations no longer trigger on this specific app. How do I get them back?

Go to settings, search for "separate app sound". Find that specific app and you can control the volume.

Is the app block from notifications? Go to settings/notifications/app notifications and then scroll to and open the app in question. Then turn on notifications if it is off.

When you go to the app notification settings, make sure not only that notifications are on, but that you allow sound and vibration. If you are getting notifications from other apps, it means you accidentally turned the notifications or the notification indicators off for that specific app. You can get to the app settings by long pressing on the app icon, tapping the circled "i" on the upper right of the mini menu and scrolling down to notifications.

I DID accidently turn the notifications indicators off. There is NO place to recover them.

The app is ALLOWED for notifications. There is no indicator for SOUND AND VIBRATE.

No change

It is NOT something that can be deleted. You have to go to the app settings/notifications (pic 1). Make sure notifications is turned on. then make sure "allow sound and vibration" is on. These options are available in the notification settings of EVERY APP. If you accidentally turned the sound and vibration off for ALL apps, you have to go to settings/sounds and vibration and turn it on (pic 2). The settings may appear slightly different in OneUI7, but they did not change the basic functions of the app settings. If, as you say, you cannot get these settings back, you will just have to factory reset your phone.

Uninstall the app. Then after that, hold the power button & the down volume buttons e to get to the power off/restart screen.

Hit restart and when the screen goes off, press & hold the power & up volume buttons at the same time until the recovery screen appears. Using the volume rocker to move to the choice, choose "wipe cache partition", then then choose yes with the volume rocker, then click on the power button to clear it. Then choose "reboot system now" and the phone will restart. Reinstall the app and see if that works.

I have 5 cameras installed on the app. If I uninstall/install the app, will I have to reinstall all the cameras?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: GALAXY S25 ULTRA>NOTIFICATIONS>APP NOTIFICATIONS

Tom6068 — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 18:56:07 GMT

Yes, but that could be the issue with multiple devices connected to one app.

I'll defer making my suggestion as the end all-be all if another more technically inclined members knows about this. I am making this conclusion based on newer info you provided with app working with five cameras.

When you have an issue with a single app, usually the way to correct it would be to uninstall and reinstall the app. Yes, uninstalling the app will remove all the cameras and settings and you will have to set them up all over again. Or, you could live without the sound and vibration and just get silent notifications. As I said previously, THERE IS NO WAY TO DELETE THE CONTROL FOR SOUND AND VIBRATION. You can only turn it on or off. Have you ever cleared the app's cache partition or the phone's cache partition? Doing either of these may clear up any errors without deleting your cameras. If that does not work, in lieu of uninstalling the app, you can clear the app data, which should keep the cameras, but it will clear out customized settings.

The default for APP NOTIFICATIONS is on the right. If you touch the tile with SOUND and VIBRATION it will vanish like the one on the left.

Delete the app data. As I said, something is scrambled. Once again, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY YOU CAN DELETE THE SOUND AND VIBRATION CONTROLS. Your turning off the sound and vibration may have, coincidentally, brought out a flaw in the app. You have a couple of choices here. 1) uninstall the app and reinstall it. Yes, it will delete cameras you have configured with it. 2) delete the app data without uninstalling the app. This will delete any customization settings and your login, but most likely keep any devices that you have configured with the app. I don't use the app, so I don't know. 3) leave it alone and just live with silent notifications. 4) factory reset your phone, which should correct all errors even if you restore your backup. Those are your only options.

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you earlier. Deleting the data seems to be the answer. It must reconstruct the app file to default. I tried it with a couple of other apps in similar conditions and it restored those 100%. I will now do the one with all the cameras and hope for the best. Thank you sir!

I assume that notifications are a function of the operating system in this case Android 15. I think there is a flaw

If it was a flaw in the OS, then everyone would be having the same issue. If you do not regularly perform optimizations by periodically restarting your phone and clearing the phone's cache after an update completes, lots of things hide in the shadows and don't get completely cleaned out and then interferes with the way things operate. Go to device care and turn on auto optimization and then select a day and time for your phone to restart - make sure you choose a time when you are not likely to be using your phone, but not during sleep or it will interrupt backups and certain sleep tracking functions (if you track sleep). Get into the habit of clearing the phone's cache partition after every update. You don't *have* to do it, but it's good practice. If you don't do it after each update, at least do it periodically. In most cases the phones function just fine without doing it, but this is just a bit of insurance that no leftovers are hanging out causing trouble.
