Stop phone vibrating when receiving emails in silent mode

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and the iOS5 update. 
I mainly have my phone switched to silent mode which is fine for receiving texts and calls as I prefer it to vibrate, but how can I stop it vibrating every time I receive an email without disabling silent mode?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, Apple has been experimenting with the vibrate-for-emails feature in the iOS 5 betas. The phone would vibrate for new email message on one beta and they'd drop it again for the next. Seems like it has made its way to the final iOS 5 and thus you won't be able to disable it selectively. One alternative, though not really a good solution, is to check for new mail manually and not have the phone do that for you on an intervall or via push.

  • When receiving email, sometimes Tunderbird for Mac comes to the front of the screen. How can I stop this?

    When receiving email (with Thunderbird for Mac), I usually get the notification bubble on the upper right. But sometimes the entire Thunderbird window comes to the front, and interrupts what I'm working on. Is there a way to stop this?
    Thanks.

    I have never heard of it happening to anyone else, so it makes any suggestion rather difficult. I don't think anyone has a clue, hence the dearth a answer in the past days

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

  • My phone is not receiving emails, what can I do to solve this problem?

    Hello Everyone
    Can someone help me solve this problem?  My phone is not receiving emails. I have two accounts set up, my work and my personal emails; neither one is receiving any mail. What can I do to fix it?
    Thanks

    I purchased this phone in December of 2010. It has worked perfecty since then. I recently deleted a GMail account that I was not using a couple of weeks ago. Since this morning my phone has not received any emails. I  have just deleted both of my email accounts and will attempt to set them up as new accounts to see if this will rectify the problem. Any suggestions are welcomed.
    Thanks

  • No alert sound when receiving email

    Yes, it is selected in email setup, rebooted...tried it all, but no alert sound when receiving email

    This sounds like a well-known problem which has been discussed over in the Mail discussions for quite a long time.

    My phone will not receive emails for some strange reason?? Suggestions???

        I'm sorry your having issues with text messaging Vickymiller1. I know this ie upsetting but I can help. First, try removing all long and old text/pic messaging threads you no longer need. Secondly, power cycle your phone. Lastly, clear the cache and browser history to provide memory on your device http://vz.to/195aM9B. Keep us posted and let me know if you have any questions.

  • Camera sound is there even when device is in silent mode ?

    Camera sound is there even when device is in silent mode?

    Possibly. It depends on what country the phone is from. In some countries, phones are required to make a shutter noise even in silent mode.

  • My phone vibrates when ringing but no sound comes out . When i go in to settings and choose a ring tone it plays then but not when getting a call, the silent switch on the side has also stoped vibrating when swithed on or off

  • E61i hangs when receiving email

    Hi all,
    I've got my great nokia E61i for a couple of weeks now, but I am experiencing something weird when receiving my emails (POP). When receiving my emails, I see the first email (header) coming in, but that's it. The meter stops moving and I can only wait for an error or press cancel. So when I have 10 emails, I have to get emails 10 times to have them all in my E61i. I have had many mobile devices, no problems with this issue ever.
    Another issue is that after receiving the email(s), the connection with the server is still open. But i can bear with that.
    Any ideas what (setting) can cause this? Thanks in advance for any answer.
    I did the latest update:
    2.0633.65.01

    hi, Im new to the forum and new to the N73. Do they really delete references to 3rd party apps? Particularly the ones which are solving user problems?
    The nokia implmentation of email is really poor. Even Windows mobile based devices have the ability to scan the IMAP body.
    Only being able to see the headers is a real joke. Nokia is stuck in the past- POP3 is unsafe and few corporates permit its use.
    Come on, even the Sony Ericsson phones have proper imap implmentations..!!
    Nokia 5800 v21.0.025 RM-356 (Orange profile- when will they update??)
    Nokia N73 (RM-133, OS v4.0735.3.0.2)
    Nokia N85- DONT BUY, front plate fell off day 3, back panel moves. VERY cheap construction.

  • Vibrating when receiving Facebook messages

    Whenever I receive a message from messenger on Facebook my phone vibrates.  I have it set to "never" vibrate.  How do I get it to stop when I receive messages from Facebook?   

    open facebook app, click the menu on the top left, go all the way down to account, then click on app settings.  THERE you turn off the vibrate on every freaking message.   annoying!

  • My iPhone 3GS vibrates when I put the silent switch in ring mode.

    What I remember the silent switch doing is when I put it in silent mode, an indicator icon would show on the screen indicating that sound is off and the phone would also vibrate.
    Now, the indicator icons are still correct (no sound in silent mode, sound in ring mode), but the vibrating is switched. It vibrates when I put it in ring mode and doesn't when I put it in silent mode.

    Nope, not jailbreak. On 4.3.3 firmware also.
    Problem was in settings; vibrate on silent was turned off. Turned it back on and problem is fixed.
