I searched but so far nothing helped.
I have had the phone for about a week and up until this morning the phone would always vibrate for a text and a call (even in silent mode) in which I had the settings. Starting today (this afternoon) I would only get vibration during a call and not a text. I checked the settings and it's still the same (VIBRATE on ALL in the main settings) and VIBRATE when receiving notifications for GOPROSMS.
What seems to be the problem? No matter what I do it won't vibrate during a text even after I restarted the phone, pulled the battery, etc.
Thanks
open both SMS apps
the stock SMS app, and the Go SMS app
verify each of their notification settings
nope still doesnt work
but I deleted GoProSMS and downloaded handcent SMS and now the vibration works even though all the settings in GOPROSMS were correct.
I looked it up and it seems that GOPROSMS was updated today, may that have caused the problem?
Same here, I have pretty much messed with all the settings and now after uninstalling go sms the notifications seem to still not work.
i'm using Go SMS as well, but it vibrates fine for me
I learned that vibrate does not work for me unless I leave haptic feedback on at maximum. the lower haptic feedback is, the weaker your vibrate..I usually don't like haptic feedback but it seems like it has to go hand and hand with vibrate.
that's explains why i didn't have the issue, i always have it on, to the max
and i always enable vibrate on any app that supports this feature
personally it makes the phone feel more realistic
it's probably an addition from the PS2 controllers with vibration
Anyone find a solution for customizing vibration settings when receiving SMS/MMS?
NO, handcent and go sms do NOT work. Actually, when setting a custom settings in those apps, vibrations stop completely.
I've tried tasker, but it's 1:10 that the vibration settings i enabled works. Only thing i've found tasker good for is, screen on when charging.
you want to get a vibration feedback, after the SMS has been sent?
or do you simply want to get vibration when a SMS arrives? (because that can be turn on/off by default on those Apps you mentioned)
is that what you are trying to do?
I think he means setting for haptic feedback like in CM....long vibrate...short vibrate ...millisecond tuning for vibration length...etc

what do you mean they dont work? i am using handcent and the vibration patterns work for me..i can change them to whatever i want (even custom)
make sure you are entering the format properly in handcent...its 0,______,______,______ (enter your off/on values [milliseconds], make sure there are no spaces)
might want to check your device if its not working for you...there is no problem with the app
I'm refering to custom vibration settings with receiving sms/mms. Default is 2 long pulses, id like to change that.
In handcent and gosms, you are able to allowed to enter custom vibrations settings ex: 200,0,200,0, etc. When doing so in both apps, vibrations stop completely. Also, their pre-existing options for vibration settings do not work either.
I'm just picky about how my phone vibrates when receiving sms/mms. I hate the 2 long pulses and wish it were just: 0,200,0
You obviously didn't read my post.. It does work.. It's cool though

You can download "SMS popup" from the market and mirror your stock messaging notification settings on it, disable the extra stuff like the actual sms popup feature, and when you get to vibration it has custom millisecond interval switches to adjust to your liking. Don't forget to disable notifications in stock messaging under settings and be aware that your screen won't turn on when you get a text as is by default with stock messaging there might even be a setting in sms popup to turn the screen on im not sure.
Hope this helps!

I cant believe more people dont want this feature as part of custom roms, heck even samsung roms.
my phone is on silent most of the day due to uni, and the galaxy s2 has the weakest most pathetic excuse for vibrations for recieved sms/call and i often miss it.
i realise gosms and handcent have this feature, but i dont like those bloated programs and i have privacy concerns with them.
My GNex is running 4.2 now, and I've noticed that when the phone is on silent, the phone vibrates when new gmail messages come in. If I check the settings, it specifically says "Never" under vibrate settings.
Has Google changed Gmail's vibrate behavior in 4.2 so that Never actually means Sometimes?
Can anyone confirm?
I hope this gets fixed!

Yes, I have the same issue, for both Gmail and Calendar
It vibrates in ALL notifications. Someone knows how to disable it?
Regards!
Just a hunch, but I tried it and it worked. If you don't care about not having any notification for gmail (sound or vibrate) then set the notification sound to silent and vibrate never. Unfortunately you won't get sound if you want that, but at least it's not vibrating now.

I want to keep the vibration on for stuff like text messages, just not email. When I'm at work I can read my email on my computer, so I turn my phone to vibrate so that it's not beeping all day long. With 4.2, I've replaced beeping with vibrating. It's very annoying.
Google, never means NEVER!

This works for gmail, but not the email app that I use for my work email.

I'm having the same issue, and it's very annoying. I want to keep the image in the notification bar, but I don't want it to vibrate - like I had before the 4.2 update. I even tried toggling the notifications off and on and toggling between "only on silent" and "Never," but it continues to vibrate. I only want my phone to vibrate for text messages/google voice messages.
There is at least one bug ticket raised for this.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39592
Star it to get it some attention.
Possible solution
Possible solution, for those of you who usually only run between sound and vibrate mode on your phone. Just go into the gmail settings and toggle the vibrate to "only in silent mode" you won't get a vibrating notification...
That's what I just set mine to do.

This didn't work for me. Always vibrates when in vibrate mode no matter what I have set. Funny enough, when I set the phone to silent mode there is no vibration even when it is set to 'Only in silent mode'.
I just hope this is identified as a bug and wasn't done on purpose. It's going to be an annoying few weeks while I wait for another OTA.
Any update to this? I'm having the same problem with text messages vibrating.
Same issue here. I have a custom 4.2 ROM flashed with this problem. I even tried reverting back to stock and reflashing. That did not solve the problem.
Same problem for me with official 4.2 OTA update, on a yakju galaxy nexus
That's no GMail bug, unfortunately it's a new "feature" introduced in Android 4.2. If you ar looking at the commits in AOSP, you can see it is a new system wide sound-to-vibrate conversion feature.
If you change the phone to vibrate mode, all applications which are playing notification sounds are then vibrating. Genious!
It should be possible to deactivate vibration therefor if you disable the notification sound in the specific app.

I want to punch whoever made this "feature" in the face!
Hey guys,
Im having a hell of a time getting light flow (3.12.8) to function properly running under cm11 (currently the dec 21st nightly)
my main issue is the notifications not clearing after i have viewed an sms, the led remains on with screen off and reminder vibrations still occur. there is an "alternate off monitoring" option in the SMS apps notification settings but whether on or off this hasnt helped. ive tried different combination of settings in the main app settings, those being root mode, direct mode, samsung root mode, usa and canada s3 mode (im in canada) and run in foreground but nothing has solved my problem although toying with these has gotten the app to work at all.
my fix for this has been to close all applications, disable light flow, close light flow, and reenable light flow and that will usually fix the problem for a little while but it always returns.
i have always had problems with light flow working, even before when running CM10, but after a lot of tweaking and experimenting with settings the app would settle down and function properly. im not having quite the same luck with CM11.
so let me know if any of you are running light flow successfully and could give me some insight on what settings you are using
OR let me know if there is a simpler app that allows notification editing. i primarily want to be able to control vibration settings for hangouts (not alterable in the apps settings) because i need a really long vibrate to be able to notice it.
Not sure if this is an Android 4.1 and beyond problem, but with my phone on vibrate, I'm unable to disable vibration within Gmail and Facebook even though the vibration options are turned off within those apps. I'm on Android 4.3 now on my ZL.
Has anyone been able to reproduce this problem? It's pretty annoying that my phone needs to vibrate on every single notification. I'd much prefer it only vibrate on calls and sms/mms.

After much research this looks like a general problem with Android 4.2 and beyond:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CyanogenMod/posts/dHQ4XUFb9tM
Looks like the ONLY way to keep apps like Facebook and Gmail from vibrating is to make sure their notification ringtone is ALSO off.
Kind of ridiculous but it doesn't look like Google will be fixing this problem.
