Cant turn off vibration for notifications 4.2.2

Hi,


I've tried searching but haven't found anyone else with this problem, so thought that someone has a solution here.

I have recently updated at 4.2.2, and found that my phone vibrates with every notification I receive. I'm happy for my phone to vibrate when it calls or I receive a SMS, MMS etc, but I dont want it to vibrate when I receive an email, or facebook notification etc.

I've even turned off "vibrate when ringing" setting in settings->sound->vibrate when ringing, and it still vibrates.

Before, I just unchecked the "vibrate" setting in each app settings (gmail and facebook), but it still vibrates when a notification comes in even if it's set not to vibrate for this application.


As I receive a lot of emails, it's driving me up the wall. I've tried everything, factory reset, and it still happens!


Is there some setting that I'm overlooking, or is there an app which can fix this?


Thanks in advance for any assistance or light you can shed on this matter!

Model Number: Sony Xoeria Z C6603

I have the same problem. I imagine many people do, not just us here. But unfortunately (I hate that word), it can't be turned off unless you remove the app and not download it again. Sorry. I know other people personally who have the same problem and no one, no matter what they've tried can turn it off. The  only way it will be fixed is if they fix the bug in the app and it doesn't seem like they're willing to do that.
