SMS Vibration settings

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.

Vibration on Email/SMS too short

I have my S2 on the Beast rom. I have the vibration intensity turned to max, but when the phone is on vibrate mode (no ringer), the vibration for SMS and email is VERY VERY short. How do I make the vibration longer? I cannot find a setting in menu to make it longer. Is there an APK that I can install to make it longer?
Thx.

if you go to settings , there is an option to customize the vibration

Correct, the intensity. Not the length.
So, lets reiterate: I have the vibration intensity turned to max, but when the phone is on vibrate mode (no ringer), the vibration for SMS and email is VERY VERY short.

Pop-up SMS will let you lengthen vibration/frequency but only on SMS not email

Thanks but not really what I'm looking for.

How do I make Texts vibrate on phone call?

When I'm on the phone in a call and receive a text message, my phone does not beep/notify me at all. I just want it to vibrate is there any setting to set it to? I'm using the stock messaging app?

Not sure if it's possible without 3rd party apps, but if you don't mind you can try Light Flow. Not only it allows you to set that (for the stock messaging app), but you can also configure the phone to blink LED with some (chosen by you) color for text messages.

I also used Light Flow and it works great, i even set it up so different alerts vibrate differently, its pretty cool.

I see a vibrate always option at the bottom of the settings in the stock app?

Prevent Screen from turning on when receiving a notification?

I tried searching xda and google and haven't found an answer to this question.
I'm using BLN to make the soft keys flash and that works great, but I'd like it if the screen didn't come on at all when I'm receiving notifications.
Is there an app/tool I can use to turn that off?
Thanks

This has been covered many times but I can see how it would be difficult to search.
The solution is to either use third party texting app (like hand cent) to circumvent the auto screen on or you can do what I did if you want to use stock messaging app and download "SMS popup" from the market, disable stock messaging notifications in settings in your messaging app and setting up your desired notifications through SMS popup instead making sure to disable "screen on for text" feature and any other features you will not be using (I. E. The actual pop up feature)
Also remember to enable led light notification in order to activate bln.
With this method you also will have the added ability to set custom notification tones for specific contacts =]
Please hit thanks if I have helped you!

Ah, yeah I did see someone saying they use handsent. I was looking for a less complicated solution (ie, just turning off the screen wake lol).
I'll try that for now. Thanks
Edit ***Just put on sms popup, and that's the perfect solution. I really wanted to avoid handsent as I don't like that application, and also my current ROM won't allow me to change the stock SMS icon on the main screen (Juggernaut 5.0)
That was the last step I needed and now I finally have my phone perfectly the way I wanted it

VIbrate not working...any ideas on how to fix this?

Everything was fine until Tasker switched profiles to Night Mode, which was set to vibrate. Afterwards I decided to adjust that profile and now I can't get anything to vibrate. There's no haptic feedback when I type or when I tap and hold an app to uninstall it. Any ideas on what the problem is?
edit: oh and I went into Settings -> Sound to make sure the vibrate options are checked off there, and then into my keyboard options to make sure they're checked off there too.

Um I can't get Tasker to show me the tutorial pop up any more. But I remember it read something like when Tasker sets your phone to vibrate that your phone cannot disable it. Try creating another task to enable volume.
Do you have a profile set up to set it to day mode? If so try adding a task to enable sound.
