Little issue... Notifications not vibrating - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Im on the uvlh1 darkside v0 rom and cant find any other roms that work well with my phone. Its a little wonky and for some reason this is the only rom i have found that goes into deep sleep and gets good battery life. Essentially, i cant switch roms. My issue however is that notificarions dont make my phine vibrate. They come in just fine and when my ringer is on, they make noise as they should. I have gone through the menus and told it to vibrate so the "duh" solution has been tried. What else can I do?

What type of notifications are not vibrating? This could help. My friend had an issue with his Galaxy Nexus where it wouldn't vibrate for anything at all, so I just told him to reset it and it worked like magic

Text messages is(was!) the big thing. I went into the messaging settings and it said it would "also vibrate when notified" but when i tapped it, it said "never". Odd. Anyway I told it to always vibrate and it's workig again. Thanks

I find this phone to have weak vibration. I rarely feel it.

Phone acting weird

I just got a replacement phone in the mail and its doing something I've never seen before. About six times a day it will play the notification ringtone like the first 5 seconds and stop. I have no notification that comes in though. It just does it. Even during phone calls and the person on the other end can hear it. Anyone have this happen to them?

I havent had this happen, but the other day I was using USB Storage and a Email came through. Rather than play the Notification sound, it played my Ring Tone Even sent myself a email from my wifes device to double check, sure enough it played the ring tone again, odd.

you probably had a ringtone set that is on memory that was not mounted because u were on computer with it mounted .....
Same reason you can't access apps on SD card if its not mounted in phone .

If it doesn't vibrate when you turn on the phone, then its a hardware problem. Failing that, its a software problem.

Ive been having same problem aswell, not a major issue as mine still vibrates when the phone is switched on, but i was curious as to why it never vibrated for notification's, the only issue i have with it not being able to vibrate is, i personally hate ring-tones of all kinds, and have my ring/phone tone set to silent so sort of rely on vibrate to know of an incoming call. Other than that i guess im just going have to wait till this bug gets sorted, I'm using CM7 7.1.0-DesireHD

This might sound ridiculous but you looked in the settings right? If I'm not mistaken for texts atleast vibrate is turned off as default

Yeah checked and double checked, and its set to vibrate always and even changed it from with in the sms app its self under settings>Notification Settings

help? Why am I getting dual notification and ringtone sounds???

When I get an email, the sound I selected plays and then a voice says." you have one new email"it does it for both my email accounts. I even turned sound off for notifications and put phone on silent. The voice still plays no matter what I do. when I get a phone call, the selected ringtone will play and then "incoming call from "xxxxx" will interrupt over the ringtone. This just started a few weeks ago. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed or added anything. I also tried to clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions. Im running juggernaut 3.7 on my t989.
Are you in driving mode? Also email has it's own notification options built into the app

Driving mode was on... This just started a few weeks ago. I'll see if it still does it after turningndrivingn mode off. Thanks
Edit: that fixed it. I feel stupid now. Thanks again.
Lol no problem happy to help

[Q] Missing Calls?

I have searched threads on XDA and could not find a solution specifically for my Epic 4G Touch. The problem I am having is I will just be sitting there and receive a voice mail. The phone did not ring previously and I check my call log and there is not a missed call. What I have found by researching is it has something to do with the phone when it is in deep sleep. I am rooted using Blu Kuban FE10 1.0.3.6 Rom. Also using Caulks FD26 Kernel with FF02 modem. I have tried several kernel and modem combinations. I do not believe it is Rom, Kernel, or modem related. What I have read it seems to be somewhere in the dialer waking the phone up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's sprints sub par service...

We are on the same boat I have the same issue with not getting calls trough I hate to say it but its samsung for us. They are not taking care of all the bugs

I've seen a few reasons for this:
1) A ringtone specified for someone was not on the phone - this caused it to misbehave when I called my wife. She changed the ringtone and it fixed.
2) The tower couldn't reach the phone in time - now in my wife's case her old phone will still ring when her new phone does. I'm not sure if that's playing into the problem or not. But other times I've had both phones next to each other and you can tell when the tower reaches the phone as the ring changes abruptly.
ive been having same issue which is a big problem cause i use phone for work..
that's y I'm thinking of going back to htc phone never had an issue with htc or blackberry phones
The more and more I think about it. Your probably right. It must be a Samsung thing because I have 3 other phones on this contract and they are all HTC phones with no problems. The only thing is they are completely stock with no mods.
i have a htc tp2 on boost mobile which runs on sprint but more water down of a service but the reception for calls is 90% better than this phone
dont get me wrong love this phone just hate the reception issue.
Yeah you would think if Samsung is making phones at least the phone function would work properly.
I have been having the same problem forever with this phone. I have even had threads on here asking for help. I have gone as far as having sprint swap my phone out and that still did not help.
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
Are you running Kobridge's tweaks? I have noticed great battery life with his tweaks, but on my phone and the wife's we both are missing some calls when the phone goes into deep sleep. It may just be a coincidence. Not saying anything bad about the tweak.

I believe that The Blu Kuban is running some kind of variation of Kobridge tweaks, but what I've read on that, the full version of Kobridge tweaks don't play nice with this rom.

On call screen outage

For some reason when I am on a call I cannot get my screen to come back on. When the call ends the screen comes back on but while I am on the call if I get a text message I cannot look at it. I dont get anything other than a black screen until the person hangs up the phone. Even when I am calling someone if they dont answer and the voicemail comes on I have to pull the battery out in order for the phone to hang up. I am using pac man rom the latest update. I also tried flashing a kernal ktoonz to be exact and I still had the same problem. Someone please help me to finding out how to fix this problem.
I've had this happen with different ROMs. I've never figured out what causes it, but it doesn't happen enough to worry me. Sometimes if you undervolt your phone, it has a hard time waking up. I really don't have an answer, but good luck.
