Vibration alert for text help!!! - Desire General

Hi All,
I am posting this reluctantly after struggling for 2 months
If I change phone to vibrate, I never get any vibration notifications for text or calander reminders even after vibration being selected?
Can anybody please help?
Thanks

Anybody!!!

Do you have Vibration turned ON directly in both sms application and the calendar?
Or did you only change the phone profile to vibrate?

get a free app called sound manager and goto the virbation menu settings and make sure it is turned on in there. This fixed it for me

Gr8
The sound manager app solved the problem
Thanks guys

G2 doesn't vibrate?

So just 20 minutes ago my phone was working fine, and now I'm getting no haptic feedback nor does my phone vibrate for notifications or calls...
I tried rebooting the phone with no luck.
I disabled and then re enabled the haptic feedback.
Has this happened to anyone? Do you know of a fix?
Mine was doing the same thing. Only thing I could think of was a factory reset which did the job.... sorta. Calls vibrate now but notifications don't.

Hmm, not sure then. I'm still trying to figure out my lack of notification vibration so if I come across anything I'll let you know.

Mine does the same thing now: vibrates on calls & haptic feedback works, but not notifications when its on vibrate silent mode
Has anyone found a fix?
EDIT: found a fix
Download an app called Sound Manager from the market or any other app that lets you change all the sound settings.
Once in the app, hit menu and then vibrate settings. Change the notification from Don't Vibrate to something else. Wola!
I don't know why the messaging app lies and tells you that it changed the settings when it doesn't...

I had a similar problem, let me ask you this: Does the phone play any sounds on notifications when it's not vibrating?

I switched to ICS today and my messaging app stopped vibrating...I turned on all the vibrations in the sound menu in settings but nothing happened. Then I went to the messaging app's setting in messaging --> (menu) --> settings and scroll down to "vibrate" and choose "also vibrate when notified".
This will fix it

[Q] Remove battery full notification

Hi Guys, I am trying to remove the notification for battery full. I charge overnight and when the battery is full it vibrates like an id.ot, waking me up most of the times!
There was a thread but now it`s obsolete... Come on, can it be that there`s no easy fix for this? I even googled, but pointlessly!
Thanks
It's not ideal but I just set the notifications ringtone to silent in the main settings menu and then set proper notifications separately in messaging, gmail, etc.

I would like to know too... That wake me every time. I dont want to put on silent since I want SMS and cakk to wake me.
Thanks all but I wish there was a better solution. Can it be that there`s no hidden flag in the system configuration?
My current solution is to put the phone on a soft thing so it doesn`t wake me up...
Settings > Sounds > Notification sound
Set it to Nothing
Freely translated from Dutch
Oh, and I can set SMS Notification to something else than "Default" (since Default is now "Silence")... pretty nice!
Thanks for the idea HaTeNL!

If you don't want it to vibrate in silent mode then just change your vibration settings to not vibrate in silent mode......

Solved:
One just need to additionally deactivate the vibration, either from the settings menu, set it to never vibrate or only when not in silent mode, or with an extra widget like one of the many available in the market.
Enjoy!

i downloaded the app timeriffic from the market and that made two profiles.
one, from 22.00 to 06.00 with no vibration and message sound disabled and the other one from 06.00 to 22.00 with vibration and message sound enabled.
works fine.
That's fine when the phone is on but when's off it stills vibrates.
I scheduled the phone to shutdown every night at 23.00h. Sometimes, I charge at home during the night. Even if the phone is downstairs, I can still hear the notification vibration repeating itself over and over again.
The solution is to put the phone on a non-vibrating surface (usually the same USB cable used for charging the phone)
I used "droidessentials" .. uncheck the "Alert When battery full".
The Apps state it won't work with Samsung devices.
Tonight I will try..

It has to work! The first option in the notification sound thing is "Silent" (translated).
Put it off Silent Mode and then change the notification sound. Must work.
Hey guys, wasn't here on these forums a thread of someone that did an app or mod just to remove the battery full sound??
I have read that once there was it!!!

Cyanogen Mod not vibrating on notifications

I jump around from ROM to ROM. Lately, I've gone from CM7 to CM9 back to CM7 Kangs and then back to the latest CM7.2RC1.
On that last transfer I lost the ability to get vibrating notifications with SMS/MMS/Gmail et cetera.
I searched high and low for the answer and here it is: download the free app Soundmanager (original or v2) on the market. In the app go into the vibration settings and adjust.
This frustrated me to no end for a week until I found this fix on another forum.
Don't know if you are able to do it but when I go in my girls INC2 messaging app I hit menu> settings> notification settings and in there should be your vibration settings. Hope this helps.

yeah, I've been using GoSMS, and all the notification settings were set up appropriately
Thank you for this, this is exactly the problem I was having and exactly the solution I needed

I'm having this problem on my GNexus. I flashed CM9 and it works great so far, but I wasn't getting notifications. Today I noticed that when I hold down the power button and put it in vibrate the icon goes right to silent. Same when I turn the volume all the way down, and when I select vibrate from the sound settings menu. I'll try the solution above, but its kind of a serious bug IMO.
I noticed that it won't vibrate unless it is set to vibrate and ring in the notification widget.

Should be an option in profiles on cm7 to set an override for that, didn't have cm9 on long enough to remember but I think it did too.

There is a very appropriate approach to this issue.

Get to Messaging (SMS) Press Touch Menu key (The left most key on your front -Defy MB525) get to settings and scroll down to see the fishy thing
Though we have set the profile and notification to vibrate it does only with calls and may be with few other things but not SMS / Notifications atleast....
So the message settings... find Notifications > Vibrate is set to never > change as you prefer..!
So once again..
Messaging > Settings > Notifications > Vibrate (Never) - Default change as you choose...! Way to Go!!!
Hello all!
This weekend I finally mod my smartphone and guess what!? no vibration on notifications!!
I tried every single combination of the sound settings and the notification settings under messaging, and still doesn't work, incoming calls vibrate but not the notifications.
After almost a year after the last post in this thread, is there a fix for this issue?

[Q] Vibrator OFF - App.?

Hi all, Is there any way that I can turn off the vibrator for the entire device? My HOX vibrates for message notifications even though unchecking the vibrate options at Message settings. Even after the power saver ON (Vibration - set to OFF), the device vibrates during restart, message notifications and occasionally during incoming calls. I reported and gave the device at HTC service center. They delivered without doing anything rather to reset the device to factory settings for the first time. Second time they replaced the vibrator but the issue not solved.
Now that is there any application which can turn off the vibrator? The device runs on Unrooted - JellyBean.
It's unlikely that an app can turn it off if the settings can't...
Settings > Sound > Vibrate is turned off I'm assuming?
Thanks peedub, For the reply.
Yes, every settings for vibration is turned OFF.
Settings - Sound - Vibration
Message - Settings - Notifications - Message Notifications - OFF
It is annoying even when the device is in Power Saver Mode, the device still vibrates.
1. For message notifications
2. For Call Notifications
3. For Alarm Notifications
I'm also having the same problem. I installed other SMS apps to try and fix my MMS problem and was thinking if that could have messed up the vibration settings...

Notification Vibrate Disabled if Ringer Set to Vibrate

Hi
About a month ago my phone stopped vibrating when I received SMS or whatsapp messages if my Ringer was set to vibrate.
Strangely, the option for notification vibrate becomes disabled or "greyed out" if i switch the ringer to 'vibrate'. (see pics)
It does vibrate just fine for a call- just not for notifications.
I am stock rooted, I was on 5.1.1 then updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1 -- no difference.
I've played with all the settings I can think of, with no help.
Any thoughts?
Apparently I'm not the only one, as I found this guy asking the identical question with a S6 edge on a different forum.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ion-vibrate-disabled-if-ringtone-vibrate.html
Nobody?
It's a strange glitch- no one has experienced a phone that vibrates fine for a call, but doesn't give the option to vibrate for a notification or text?
Some notification vibration settings must be set for that app. The screenshot you posted shows that notifications are set to vibrate.

Ah! Thank you so much for someone finally replying.
I must not have explained the screenshots correctly--- In the second screenshot-- I have set my RINGER to vibrate (as in for the phone).... and magically ALL NOTIFICATIONS GO SILENT (for every app and including SMS) -- not even vibrate--- and I lose the ability to change them to vibrate.
It used to be simple. Ringer set to ring, Notifications (whether for SMS, or any other app like calendar or whatsapp) would also ring. Ringer set to vibrate- notifications (again for all apps and SMS) would also go to vibrate.
Importantly I also would have control of the relative volumes/vibrations in both settings.
Now I only have that ability when the ringer is set to ring. If i set the ringer to VIBRATE--- then the notifications get totally silent-- -and are 'greyed out' so I can't change them.
It's weird.
Maybe I can't seem to explain it clearly, but I'm trying.
Thanks for the reply.
I am having the exact same issue. Have you ever figured out a solution?

Sorry for the delay.
The answer is .... sort of....
The graying out issue never resolved, but magically it DOES vibrate now with messages. Perhaps that started to work with one of the updates I've installed.
Still seems bizarre to me, but as long as the functionality returned... i guess that is good enough.
