applicationsiphonenotificationsvibrate
Even when my viber application is open on a specific discussion, it continues to vibrate on every received message part of the current discussion.
How can I turn off this very annoying feature for Viber discussions ?
or, if not possible,
How can I turn off the whole Viber notifications vibration ?
I currently use an iPhone 5
You get the notification sound with each push event that results in a new message to any mailbox.
Google likes to send mail to All Mail as well as Inbox, so that is the likely cause of the two push events. You could make a temporary rule to skip the inbox for all messages and test to confirm this is the root cause. The phone sees them as two messages, because they are in reality two messages arriving at different times to different mailboxes. I don't know a way to mark the All Mail always read, but perhaps the google filters are powerful enough to make this happen on your account.
Until (or if) google changes things to push them all at once, you can enable control over folders/tags in the labels settings. By controlling the Show in IMAP... status, you should be able to avoid the second ding.
You could also try setting up rules to avoid any one message from hitting more than one folder as an unread message. iOS doesn't ding on sync of read messages, just syncs that change the unread count on a folder.
Lastly, iOS has changed behavior of the mobile mail app in the past to work better with Google mail. It's a common complaint, and could also be fixed with a change to mail on iOS.
This is a feature introduced with the iOS 5 update.
Accessibility improvements:

- Custom vibration patterns for incoming calls on iPhone
- New interface for using iOS with mobility-impairment input devices
- Option to speak a selection of text

You can change the setting in Settings -> General -> Accessibility options:

It looks like the feedback has been acted upon, and it is now possible to turn off vibrations and sounds while you are using the app already. A very welcome change indeed! (Not sure which version it was implemented in) You can do it by going to "More" tab on Viber, and opening Settings -> Notifications, and turn off "In-App vibrations". See the official Viber documentation here. Excerpt:
