Calendar notification does not vibrate - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Missed a meeting because my s3 was in my pocket and did not vibrate and i didnt hear the tone. Went to calendar -> settings and there is no "vibrate" checkbox in the "Notifications settings" section (like there was on my old galaxy s). I also don't have this checkbox in my text messages settings, but my text do vibrate albeit not with the default vibrate "tone" i selected. My phone is pure stock att no root, no rom only 3 days old. Anybody know how to have calendar reminders / alerts / notifications vibrate?

If you go in settings, then sounds, is the check box next to Sound and Vibration checked?

Yes. It does vibrate for calls and texts, just not for calendar. Also, it vibrates for calendar reminders when i set "silent mode" to vibrate, i just want calendar reminders to vibrate even when silent mode is off (meaning i want both a tone and vibrate). I've seen other posts for s3's that reference a "vibrate" checkbox on the message setting, but i do not see this text box so I'm assuming other s3 owners have a vibrate checkbox on the calendar setting that i do not have also - can anybody corroborate this for me?

This is fixed in the OTA update currently rolling out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31801294#post31801294

Message Vibrate Not Working

I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?
Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.

Gmail Notification Using Ringtone When Set to Silent

Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?
Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know

M8 & GoSMS vibrate problems...

in gosms settings i have vibrate style set to "only when phone is set up to vibrate". so when i set my m8 to vibrate, there is no vibration when i receive an SMS. i basically have to keep vibrate on all the time option in gosms, as it will not disable when i turn off vibrate from the notification panel.
any ideas?

I had issues like this with Hangouts. Basically, set all vibration alerts inside of GoSMS to "Default" and set the vibration settings up how you'd like them under the phone settings and see if that fixes the problem.

[Q] Persistant Gmail notifications with M9?

In my M9s settings menu I have my "Sound profile" set to "Normal". In gmail settings I have "Notifications" box checked, "Inbox sound and & vibrate"say "Sound on, notify once", tap "Sound & vibrate" I have "Sound set to Lilac" and "Vibrate" box is unchecked (s/b ?). When I receive a new email I get one "Lilac" notification as expected, but if I don't open the email (ie: sleeping) the phone will sound (not "Lilac" sound) and vibrate every 15 - 30 seconds until I open an email then the notifications stop until I receive a new email then it the phone starts the sound & vibrate happens again every 15-30 secs.
The same thing occurs if I have the phone's sound profile set to silent.
NONE of my phones have ever behaved this way. Any idea what is going on? This thing is going back if I can't make the Gmail notifications work correctly!
Thanks in advance for any insight to this issue.

Go to "Settings" "Accessibility" scroll down to "Notification reminder" and switch it off. :good:
Oh, by the way, hello San Tan valley, from Fountain Hills, AZ.

Thanks! That did the trick; I had looked everywhere without luck in getting this phone to behave.
Hello Fountain Hills! I go up there to golf every once in a while.

[Q] My moto 360 no longer vibrates when getting a message (or notification)

Hi
My watch no longer vibrates when I get a notification or message. It's there if I look manually, but I don't get notified by it. It still vibrates when getting a call or a alarm, so the vibrate function is still functional.
Anyone have any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance
Yup, noticed this too after updating to 5.1.1
This is happening to me too. I hope there is a resolution soon. Missed a meeting.
By design, the watch only vibrates on events that your phone would vibrate for. is it possible you hvae a setting on your phone that is set not to vibrate on messages for some reason?
Are these meetings in Google Calendar? For some reason Google turned of notification by default recently in Google Calendar.
- Go to calendar.google.com
- Go to Settings, Calendar tab
- 'Edit notifications' for your calendar name
- Add a Popup notification
Not sure why they turned this off by default. Pissed off many.
