For the life of me I can't get the phone to NOT vibrate when a text comes in. The phone rings without the vibrate, this just applies to SMS and email. I have Handcent installed, but vibrate is off in there, in the stock app, and in the general settings.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Hey guys!
I've been wondering a bit, after getting my Galaxy Nexus. I mostly have my phones on silent, just have it to vibrate, when ever I receive a call, sms, e-mail or what ever.
But with the Galaxy Nexus, I seem to can't feel the vibrator (no naughty thoughts!), and therefore I can't have my phone on silent.
Anyone know if i can change it with an app or anything else? Really hate that my phone needs to sound like a an robot when ever i get a notification.
Cheers,
Alexander W.

Are you talking about a software problem or a physical problem?
As in have you tried going into like gmail settings and turning on vibrate when receiving emails and stuff like that?
I had this exact same problem. I never have my phones make noise (other than the sound of it vibrating) as I don't want to accidentally leave it on loud when it should be on silent. Just easier that way. Plus you can hear your phone vibrating on a table or other hard surface from other rooms, so no need for sound.
It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but what the issue was for me was I had the ringer volume down too low. With your phone unlocked, press the volume up rocker once. You will see that it changes from a speaker with a line through it to a phone that appears to be vibrating. This will put it in silent but vibrate mode.
Also make sure in the sound settings that you have the vibrate mode set properly. I have mine set to always vibrate.
Hope that helps!

Try the application Light Flow. I had the same problem, couldn't feel the short vibration and missed my emails and such. With light flow you can set up custom vibrations for different applications. I have two exchange accounts and have set up different vibration lengths and led colors for each (the one vibrates for around 4 seconds). You can also set up another set of vibrations if you miss the first one that will repeat for a duration of time that you can also set.
For phone calls only, try vibration manager, it will allow custom vibrations for incoming calls.

Yes, there is silent, vibrate and tones
hiohokaybye - It's exactly like the others says. It proberbly isen't a problem with the phone, it just doesn't vibrate "hard" enought for me to feel it or hear it.
But thanks for the help, jaeisber, archerks & white lie! - Got it working "right" now.
Cheers, y'all, and Merry Christmas!
I giggled when I read the title of the thread.
I too have experienced missing calls and messages do to the fact that the phone vibrates at a much higher frequency than other phones I have had. It feels great when you hold it, but I don't notice it as much as other phones when I have it in my pocket.
Same here, I can't feel the vibration strong enough when it is in my pocket and miss calls. I'll have to try the light app.
Hi there.
As i asked in the title, is there a way to manage sound profiles? I'm looking for and app, widget or anything else that can easly switch from an "outside" profile, which means high volume in notification and vibration for incoming calls, sms, whatsapp and so, to an "inside" profile, lower volume and vibration OFF, and others. Do you know if is there anything like what i'm looking for?
I have 5.1.1 rooted on my z1c.
Thank you!
This is pretty much what you need

I just tried this and i've already tried others similar, like profile scheluder and sounds profile, but no one can control the vibration, only volume and ringtones. Nothing else?
Thanks.
I'm almost sure it allows to turn vibration on or off. Have you delved fully in to the settings?
Yes i did, and it allows to turn vibration on or off, like all other apps, but it only works with incoming calls, vibration doesn't change for sms, whatsapp and other notification.
Hi guys, I am on stock firmware and love the phone - except from the vibration, that is simply too hard and loud for my taste. I have disabled the touch vibration, I have disabled vibration for calls and I also disabled it in various apps like WhatsApp. But I cannot seem to get a hold of the vibration for standard notifications from apps without their own notification settings. A friend of mine has the same phone without notification vibration and he does not remember any specific setting he could have disabled and I cannot find any myself. Am I experiencing a bug or does anybody have an idea?
Hi, I have recently purchased a Nokia 6.1 (2018 TA-1050). It seems to be working mostly the way I want it to BUT the notification sounds are giving me huge problems. What I mean is, for incoming SMS, Whatsapp, etc. ,these will only cause the phone to vibrate, and a notification icon to appear. I do not get any notification sound.
Also for phone calls, the screen activates, incoming call is shown, phone vibrates, and after a short delay the notification sound activates. It is as if the notification sounds are delayed. Has anyone else come across this problem? Can it be fixed? Any help welcome....
Thanks.
