Android 15 could stop your phone from vibrating like crazy when you get a lot of notifications
Notification cooldown in Android 15 can not only lower the volume of successive notifications but also stop them from vibrating your phone.

There are people who don't keep their phone on silent all the time? I only turn it off if I'm expecting a call for a job interview or something.
These days, knowing some people, I'm already grateful if a person is just using the default notification sound. Two highlights:
- Camera flash light.alongside the notification, so you get a free flashbang whenever you're sitting across from that person. I've yet to figure out how that mode is even helpful in any way and not just an annoyance for other people.
- Long music clips not as a ringtone, but as a notification on full blast. Essentially, that person has trained themself to drop everything when a notification comes in in order to shut down the music. I'm not an expert, but that feels like the opposite of healthy phone usage.
To be fair, the camera flash alert light was meant for deaf people. Others just chose to use it.
Sure would be nice to see status LEDs make a comeback though.
Killing status LEDs, then realising that there are people who needed it, and making them use the camera flash on the back of the phone instead isn't great either.
I miss my LG phone that let me customize the LED color based on app. That way if it were one color I knew it was semi-important, but other colors I knew were...dismissible.
The camera flash notification thing is useful for people that are deaf or hard of hearing if they don't have the phone actually on their person when the notification goes off
I've always used just the defaults or a classic phone ring.
However, there is a comedy to some bulky bloke getting a call and the ringtone is a white girl pop song (pick one, any one will do)
I've yet to figure out how that mode is even helpful in any way and not just an annoyance for other people.
When you leave it on your desk in silent mode it's a good way to alert you. I miss my red notification LED GDI
I'm the same way. I don't think I've ever turned the ringer on for this phone since I got it lol! I don't even know what ringtone I have selected!
I turn silent off when the home wifi connects. I don't keep my phone on my pocket at home, but i also don't allow notifications on most apps, and no noise or vibration on any notification.
I keep it continually on vibrate only.
I keep my phone on silent because do not disturb doesn't do jack shit. Still vibrates in the middle of the night like the shitter it is.
