Phone wont vibrate for txt messages - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my phone stopped vibrating when i get a txt message. This happend to my friends too like the day after he got his slide. He just took it back and got a new one since it was in the return policy.
Have you guys heard of this problem? Is there a way to fix it? I would hate to have to get it replaced under warrenty and then have to redownload all my apps and reroot and everything.

I had the same problem. Download "audiomanager widget" and check the box next to Vibrate by alerts.

I downloaded "Quick Settings" and it fixed the problem.
Now my frustration is how come my friends txt vibrate and hepic feedback stonger then mine?

Same problem here. I'm running 6.5 WWE
Same problem here. ATT Stock ROM. I do get my messages sometimes when my screen off but most of the time I'll turn on my screen and i'll get 2 or 3 sms messages at once.

Nope not for me.
I havent notcied that problem with mine. Also att stock rom on the tilt 2 only have the newest radio installed 4.4.9 (i think it is). and no issues with sms or mms not coming in when the screen is off, never noticed an issues before updating the radio either though.
Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event:
Reminders > check "Display message on screen."
new text message > check "Display message on screen."
new MMS message > check "Display message on screen."
Ect ..
Also .. try this cab ..
I spoke too soon. I have recently been encountering this ever since I flashed the htc stock rom 1.86.401.0. it doesnt happen often, but it has caught my attention. before it would come thru with the screen off and when it did come thru the screen wouldnt turn on which was great, but now sometimes it will come thru and sometimes it wont until I turn the screen on, and I have events notification unchecked, I like the idea that the screen doesnt come on to avoid accidential touching of the screen when in the clip. So has anyone found anything to make it stop? Using tilt 2 on ATT.
this sometimes happens to me but a soft reset helped a bit i have no clue as to why this happens but id like to get an answer if anyone can post back
same thing had happened to me. i found out it was the new pocket shield that i was running that kept me from getting the they r suppose to come in.. hard reset will kill it and should b up n running... im on sprint running stock rom!
Werll I dont have the pocket shield. And mine started doing it after flashing the stock rom on HTC site for EU. So I know its not any programs I put in or any custom roms. I think what happens is the radio possibly falls asleep at times and doesnt wake up.
this happens to me as well, but not all the time. Im on official WWE 6.5 Asia ROM.
Strangely, this happen whenever i use custom ringtones (not from windows). Whenever i switch to any ring from windows, the message comes all the time. Can anybody confirm this?
I have the same problem. I have an official Eastern Europe ROM 1.86.401.1. (clean install, no third parties soft installed).
The problem appears even with windows ringtones. I hope there will be a hotfix soon! All my friends think I am ignoring them

Same here. but I also found another bug, I know I should make another post, but I think XDA will kill me
But if you happen to notice that along with this, you will notice that at times, the txt will come thru but you get no alert. And I am using the same rom your using. Its been happening since this rom, and also happens with nrgz rom so its specific to the rom not the tinkering. But I was txting someone today and after about the 3 or 4th interchange I noticed the person hadnt txt back in like 10 mins, when I turned the screen on there was a txt msg that didnt notify me, didnt turn on or alert me, so there seems to be two bugs with it.
Unless anyone has looked into this, I am going to look further and see if this is only when using HTC's enhanced msg program, if it happens thru WinMO going thru all messages. I'll let you know unless someone has looked into this already.

so far im using the ringtones that is provided by default from the windows and everything is good. Will report back though if i do find the problem again.
Oh and btw i had the stock 6.1 WWE Asia ROM before i upgrade to the official 6.5, the 6.1 behave the same way too. Perhaps it is the manila messaging that cause the problem
edit: I contacted HTC via email and they said that they "have no special setting" for this isssue. They suggest me to perform a hardreset. I replied back, "i have and the problem still exist". I'll see what they send me tomorrow and i'll share it with you guys.
I do suggest that we all report this bug to HTC via their email customer service thing so that they recognise the problem and release the hotfix.

I think they are going to have a difficulty with this one because its not repetative and is intermittent. I can say I never noticed this with the HTC Fuze and dont think I ever had this problem.
And being that it doesnt happen often enough I dont think people are going to catch it and they are going to think that they just didnt hear it, unlike us nuts
Hi guys i have posted this on another thread but it has similar symptoms, below is what i have posted in the thread.
I am having a problem with the notification system.
Lets say a person Name "A" sent me a sms, the phone will ring and the light blinks if i did not attend to it.
However the problem starts whenever I replied "A" but left the phone in the TF3D threaded msg screen with "A". After sometime the phone goes to standby. But when "A" replies my msg again, they phone only vibrates and does not ring. The Yellow Led does not blink as well.
I am currently using a stock ROM and i am not sure if you guys experience this as well.
This is Rather annoying as most of the time after replying a person's sms, i would just hit the standby button straight away without bother exiting the threaded sms screen. But if i do that, the next sms that comes in from the same person will not ring or trigger the LED.
I am not sure if this problem has been posted and fix, but after many days of searching i cant seem to find a solution for it.
some basically it means the notification did not come through only in the manila threaded msg screen with the specific person, because i guess they somehow got tricked to thinking that we are actually reading the msg when in reality the screen is off and we are not reading it. Please Check if this describe your problem.
I still need a solution for this
pukipuki,
Seems based on what your saying this might be the htc manila msg program, can you confirm if the same happens if you go to all msgs and bring up the person your talking to thru there and see if it happens that way too? My suspicision is that it wont do it, but I want to be sure, cause thats been my guess all along.
Or can anyone else confirm that it is only happening in the htc threaded msg and not the winmo threaded msgs.
My suggestion would be to try turning System Event Sounds on in the Sounds section in the Settings tab in TouchFLO/Sense. (Alternatively you can acheive the same effect by ticking the Events checkbox in the Sounds tab in "Sounds & Notifications" in Settings for WinMo.)
I came across the 'no sound alert' problem for new texts and found that the audio alert tone came back when I made the above change. (Funnily enough when I was having this problem, I had enabled vibrate for new texts and the phone vibrated even though there was no audio.)
Even with that setting on, the problem still exists.

Phone not vibrating when receiving a text

Hey guys, first post here of many hopefully.
Been following this thread from near the beginning and have finally got my hands on a HTC Desire via Vodafone Twitter deal
Absolutely love this phone and it's the envy of all my friends which is never a bad thing. I'm constantly discovering new things which is awesome and I'm pleased I came and saw the Android side.
Anyway, I've come across a problem.
When receiving texts, I've noticed that the phone will not vibrate. I've made sure that vibrate setting in the Messaging settings is green ticked and that Notifications is ticked. But still not working. It works when i'm rang just not when texted.
Have tried using Handcent messaging app but had the same problem... What can I do?
Thanks guys
I've had the same problem since I got mine two weeks ago.
Have you resolved this in any way? It's bloody annoying!
Hmm, strange... seems to work on my phone ok.
Since you have already tried Handcent, try the app "Sound Manager," from the Android Marketplace. Use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it see if that works.
Other than that, backup your data and try a hard reset (also try without SD card inserted) to eradicate any potential software bugs.
Tried sound manager, still no help.
I can get calls and notifcations to vibrate when on the normal profile and set them to vibrate, but on my normal profile I want sound only, so have vibrate turned off. When I change to the vibrate only profile, it will only vibrate for calls and not notifications.

Notications Quit Vibrating - Epic 4G Touch

I have to admit that I do not know if this should go in Q&A or here... first time posting. So I have been trying to figure this out for the last week. I have researched EVERYWHERE and I am unable to find it.
Last week my E4GT quit vibrating for text messages and emails. I did load a couple applications around the time this started happening so I uninstalled them and this did not help. I noticed that a few others were having this same problem and downloaded an application called Smart Vibrator and this only allows you to get the text messages to vibrate, not the emails. I use K9 Mail for my emails.
Since I know that Sprint Customer Service loves to tell me that it is my phone instead of listening to me, I did a complete reset of the phone (what a pain) and wiped everything. I unrooted, rerooted, everything... Again, nothing. Anyone recommend anything?
Well if anyone is having this problem, I have tried everything. I did find a couple apps that seemed to have worked. Vibrate tools or Force vibration seems to help.
There's a free app called Sound Manager that will let you set the vibration status.
Any luck on this geojam?
What seems strange to me is that you did a "complete wipe and reset", and it still didn't work, but after the fact an app "fixed" it.
I would have said do a complete ODIN reset, and if it still not working, get a replacement because it's hardware...
Btw, welcome to XDA!

nexus 5x ringtone and notification tone not coming

i have bought nexus 5x 3 months back before android 7.0 update my phone was working fine not facing any issue. but after upgrading to 7.0 my phone faces an issue that some time ringtone and any notification sound or tone won't come, Vibration is working fine. I hav to restart my phone every time to resolve this issue. Now is this due to some bug or due to latest upgrade...please help...what can be cone to resolve this.
Same here ... I cant find solution ....
Okay so my sister has the same phone as me which is the nexus 5x, yesterday she told me that she won't get notification sounds when she received texts and I took her phone and looked around. What I found was that for some contacts in the messenger, when you go to 'people and option' for a specific contact and try to change the notification tone for that contact, I saw that it was set to 'default notification tone' and when I clicked on it, it had no sound. So I switched it to a different one like 'Ariel' and then I texted her phone and she got a notification with sound. Try this, that just might fix it for you. It did for her, although I didn't restart her phone or anything to try to fix it that way.

[Q] SMS randomly stops working.

SMS on my Pixel XL randomly seems to stop working. I usually have to restart the phone to get it to work again. I've never had an iPhone, so I know it's not the issue I've seen people having previously used iMessage. This problem seems to happen with both Google Messages, and ChompSMS. I'm on VZW's network.
Anyone else been experiencing this issue?
BUMP, same problem all the damn time, and gets on my nerves. generally i can just toggle airplane mode on and back off to get it working

I think it happens when I get to an area without service. It's like the SMS service is unaware the connection is good when I have service again.
I'm trying Verizon Messages in the meantime. Surprisingly well featured app. Seems to allow SMS over data/wifi, so it might be a work around for this issue. Will report back later.
Same things is happening to me after updating to the August security patch. Should have left it alone as it was working fine before.
issue
I'm having an issue when I want to send a message it won't let me start the message unless I toggle keyboard button then go back to message wierd
