For a while my phone hasn't been vibrating when I receive text and it only vibrates for phone calls. I checked my settings and messaging settings but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
You have the notification setting in the messaging app set to always vibrate, right?
Yes I have that checked too
Have you tried disabling it, rebooting your phone then re-enabling it? I know it sounds weird but that has worked for me before when setting get "stuck".
rebooting as in turning the phone off and then back on?
Yes, that's just about the only meaning for reboot I am aware of
it still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to start using chompsms
This happened to me too, i think its an ec05 thing cause it never happened on eb13. Idc though, cause i use handcent. My problem is there is no longer a setting for the led blinker, and it does nothing for me now.

I've tried every led color, on every sms replacement, they never work. But, on eclair, it worked on stock sms. Now, it never lights up unless its charging.

Download Sound Manager from Market and see if a hidden setting in there is messing you up.
On bonsai and I keep on getting the same text, email, calendar no-vibrate issues after a couple weeks. So time consuming to fix everytime by restoring with my backup.

Hey all,
Have my phone on Vibrate and when I receive a Google mail the phone isn't vibrating and the LED isn't flashing. As far as I can see all options in Google mail and the phone settings suggest I should be getting both.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Hmmmmm a reboot seems to have fixed this, lets hope it doesn't get into a habit of it
didn't work for me, rebooted, but still no vibrate on new SMS, light flashing, tho
Apologize for cross-posting, but I'm getting frustrated with this. A reboot didn't help me either.
Everything was working before, but just today I noticed it refused to vibrate on email notifications. WinMo used to have a similar annoying bug, but it was related to replies. This bug is affecting all messaging notifications, i.e. Exchange, pop3, Gmail and SMS.
I've gone in to general settings and put vibrate on. I've gone into each account and turned vibrate on. I've gone into Messaging (SMS) and turned vibrate on. Vibrate is basically turned on throughout the system, but it's still not vibrating except for phone calls.
I've uninstalled all of the last apps I had installed to no avail.
Anyone with any advice?
Last resort could be hard reset

Not really keen on hard reseting, but will try that as a last resort.
I ended up fixing it with a hard reset.
First time around, I chose to reinstall the settings from the auto backup that was on the SD card, but I experienced the same behaviour.
Redid the hard reset and opted for cancel when asked about reinstalling the backup settings and all seems well so far.
Suspect it was a dodgy app or could have been that running the battery down flips a software switch to turn off vibrations, but the switch has a hard time flipping back. Will wait and see how long I can keep the vibrating notifications, but now I know how to solve it.
On another note, talk about a waste with that auto backup function. I mean, to really be useful you should be able to choose when it backs up and which backup you want to reinstall. Having it constantly backup settings like it does is bound to backup whatever went wrong in the first place. Oh well.
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.

I've just realized my notification LED doesn't light up anymore regardless of what the notification is.
I thought it was the lightflow app affecting it so i did an uninstall and rebooted my phone, but the LED still never lit up. What gives?
I'm running stock 4.0.2 unrooted device.
EDIT: Even going into GO SMS Pro and under Test Notification the LED also doesnt light up when it normally does.
EDIT 2: Just reinstalled light flow, re-did all my settings, and then testing the notifications via lightflow doesnt work either. My LED just stays blank. Is this normal?

Make sure it's turned on in Settings > Display > Flash Notification Light...
I, too, have consistently had this problem. The only ROM I've been able to get LED notification working with consistently is CM9, but even that has been giving me trouble with the latest nightly.
Did you install an app in between the time it worked and the time it stopped working? If so, try uninstalling it. I've had a time or two on ICS where I've had 3rd party apps conflicting with different things. One time I installed Tweetdeck and it completely killed GPS, couldn't get a lock or anything. I uninstalled Tweetdeck, and GPS came back. Reinstalled, and haven't had a problem since.
Probably unrelated, but technically ICS is still Beta in many ways.
I've done quite a few things in trying to narrow down the problem, including wiping data, trying different kernels and varying ROMs, and uninstalling any apps that control LED notifications in any way. Nothing has been able to get my LEDs working, except restoring to an older CM9 nightly.
Sounds like there might be something in /system that is preventing LED notifications from working in the newest nightly. I haven't tried CM9 yet, or I'd test it as well to see if it's an issue with the latest nightlies.
Solved!
It would seem that the newly merged Quiet Hours code includes an option to disable LED notifications as well. It's set for the whole day and is on by default. It's under Settings -> Sounds. Once you disable quiet hours, LED notification works as expected lol.
I'm having a weird audio issue where notification sounds get clipped down to a quick blip when/if they play...all other sounds are ok . I've tried disabling ambient mode, pocket mode, etc. Anything that I can think of that may cause something like this. I was previously using stock Boomsound, but it did it then too. I'm using Adrenaline ROM now using HK, and it still does it. I've had this issue with multiple ROMS. Is anyone else having this issue? The only other thing I can think of to try is going back to regular messaging and not use Hangouts for SMS. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Does anyone have any ideas? It's driving me nutz!!!

Just did a bunch of testing.
I made sure that all the notifications were disabled in the stock messaging app. From my wife's phone, I sent myself a bunch of texts through hangouts on HER phone, like she normally would. I got maybe 9 out of 10 notifications just fine, then it would just give the first millisecond of a blip from the notification sound and start flashing the notification LED. That part always worked. Just don't always get the sound.
As a side note.... all of the ROMs I've been running have been Lollipop.

This happened to me before on Nougat and the problem was fixed by just disabling battery optimization in the settings, but now on Pie, battery optimization is disabled for Textra and its still doing it. Ill get a notification and it will stay on the screen for about a second and disappear, whether the screen is on or off. Its also intermittent, earlier this morning, it was working fine, now its back to doing it again, restarts don't make any difference either, and I've tried disabling the stock messages app, restarting, and still no dice. Also this is a clean flash, everything except internal storage was wiped prior to updating. Is anyone else having this issue?
I too use Textra and today have been using my Pixel XL with Pie and when receiving texts while looking at another app, the notification icon sidings didn't show, tho the phone vibrated for the incoming text.
I've not experienced this, before, with any phone or Android version / ROM.
