Just looked it's pretty obvious. The sub text describes your problem almost exactly.
Hint: it starts with "prevent"

Vibration parrern for text messages?

If anyone knows the amount of seconds on, off, and on that the phone vibrates when you get a text id be appreciative. Im trying to get chompSMS set up as a replacement but i only can feel the stock pattern...... weird ik.

I'd be interested in this too. One thing I like about CM7 is the notification settings in the messaging app. You can set it to anything you want. I always have it on 5 short vibrations. Let's me notice it more.

Found my answer through trial and error. .34,.24,.34 for chompSMS makes it feel like stock.

Are you getting texts? Stock mms can turn screen on.
Happens to me once in awhile. Screen just decides to pop on with no notifications or anything.
Ive had this happen in phone calls when im using Bluetooth earpiece.
No TEXT, nothing strange at all for this I was thinking at some sort of external APK
I forgot and I think is important

I sick of this screen that urn on.. because when you calling or be call and the phone is in your poket sometimes it turn on and make a screenshoot or push the end call.
I was thinking at FORMATTING all but if exsist some sort of escape it's better
Sorry for some error but i'm in a hurry
This happens to me too randomly, kind of annoying.
It used to happen to me also I turned the nfc chip off and it quit.

And please tell me English isn't your first language? Because trying to read your post makes my head hurt.
Try a factory reset. If that doesn't fix your issue, then take it to Sprint and return it for being defective.

Not while stock, you would need to root and either flash a custom rom that has it baked in or flash the modded messaging app that's floating around the dev. Section.

sound goes off by itself

i love my S3, but this is driving me crazy. for no reason the sound will stop working for notifications, and or feedback. I triple check the sound levels and other settings and everything is on, mute is off. sometimes it will not notify and just vibrate for like 20 seconds.
The only way to restore it is to powercycle the handset. This is so stupid im thinking of factory reset. I also checked for updates and there are none available. Please help!!
Thanks
I don't have an answer but I can confirm I have the same issue.

If you have your text message limit set to 200 messages and you receive number 201 from someone the notification sound will get cut off because it has to delete a message and it doesn't have the brain to do 2 things at once. I found this solution in the Verizon forums. If this is your issue then be sure to thank them.

How can I make my T-Mobile service stop sending me amber alerts?

Last night I kept receiving amber alerts at 3 am. This morning again at 8am and its really starting to piss me off. How can I opt out of receiving these alerts?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Look in the settings for messaging.
It should be under emergency messages.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk HD
Yes go onto your messaging app and press the menu button then settings scroll down to emergency alerts then uncheck amber alerts, and whatever else you don't want.. Presidential alerts cannot be unchecked tho.. Hope this helps

i hope a custom rom can rid us of his B.S.!! i registered [ Presidential alerts] as spam in the messaging app menu will it work to shut his piehole?
My best guess is that either the messaging apk from a Canadian or International ROM should work.
I can't help but wonder if this one will eventually send a (hopefully incorrect) "duck and cover" message... It wouldn't be the first time either. (Stumbled on that a few weeks ago and thought it'd be interesting in this context.)

Tasker, Post Setups, Profiles, Questions and more!

I love Tasker. And i mean love tasker!!! I would like to start a discussion on these setups and cool things to do with Tasker. More people need to buy it!!!!!!!
My personal favorite Profile is one i have setup for a received text with "gpson" in the message. It enables gps and starts polling where the device is going and replies with coordinates every 3 minutes to sender of last text. I use this just in case my phone gets lost or stolen. I keep it pretty stealth as well. It turns off all systems volume to make sure the robber wont hear it. Once again, i Love Tasker and please share your opinions. Post questions, anyone would be happy to help
I tried helping someone or a few weeks ago who wanted the screen to turn on when a kik message appeared, but I'm horrible at tasker. Could you look through the thread and tell me what might have worked better for it?

That is exactly what I would do.
Create Profile>Event>UI> Notification>(pick kik app)
After that add the task you mentioned about turning screen on through secure settings to the profile . That should work assuming a notification is received when a kik message is received
(TASKER MUST BE ENABLED AT ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS)
Just tested this with messaging app and it worked perfectly. Leave "Title' blank when choosing app/apps

Let us know? It just means no conditions are met to activate a profile. Once you get a kik message after setting this up it should change briefly to something like active profiles I think. Im not sure

Sweet, I'm glad it worked. That was my first foray into the world of Tasker.
Back to the original thread topic: What are some things that you think people might want to see come from Tasker?
One of my biggest blocks in using it effectively is that I don't even know where to begin. I could set it up to automatically turn on wifi when I get home, but it's really not that big of a deal for me to just hit a toggle on the notification panel (same thing with using NFC tags, for me at least). I do like the lost phone texting option, but I haven't lost a phone (or gotten it stolen) in the last 10+ years of having a cell phone.
Maybe I'm just simple in my needs/wants from a cell phone, but I just don't know what type of Tasker automation I'd use regularly. Any suggestions?

Its rare that phones get stolen from geeks like us but I just have it just in case one of my buddies pull a trick or something. Its good to have just in case. However, misplacing it happens quite often for me at least. So I created a profile to listen for "ringplease" and it turns on the screen and unlocks it, then turns media volume all the way up and plays a song of my choice (No Worries by Lil Wayne) lol
Very very simple, but effective for me at least

That's a good idea, I typically leave my phone on silent (don't want it ringing loudly while at work). When the phone is between the couch cushions, I can't just ring it and listen for it. If I have a text code I can send, I can have it turn the volume all the way up and blast "call me maybe" (as a joke, of course). I just can't give that code to my friends, or else they'll send me that code when I'm in a meeting at work, haha.

I feel that Tasker is a bit under rated. People just don't realltly take the time to learn how to use it. Its so powerful!!

I think a lot more people would use tasker if the xml files were made more centralized and available for the general user. I myself was struggling, but have it doing a few nifty things.
1) turn on wifi when near my local (home) cell tower.
2) disable wifi when no connection established for 20 seconds
3) enable screen rotate in certain apps (since I like mine in portrait normally).
4) enable bluetooth when docked in the car and disable after disconnecting
5) turn off all sound when sitting on my qi charger
6) allow calls from certain people even in silent mode (ie emergency calls from family)
7) play unique ringtone for people not in my contact list
Haha, I just use Where's My Droid, it has the built-in ringing functionality where you can text it a codeword if you misplace it / lose it, and its also great for when you ACTUALLY lose it lol

But this is waaaaayyyy cooler it took me weeks to figure it out to. Lol. The GPS thing. Cause I never found a ROM that allowed it without using secure settings! Until this week!

God, I wish I could figure out how to do this. I would buy the app for my wife (who constantly misplaces her phone).
I have tasker, and I use it to "clock" in and out of work. I have it save the time stamp to my work calendar.
