I have a question for you guys. Today I installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3-RC2 and I have a problem.
I noticed that my phone was not vibrating while recieving messages from the messages app and Whatsapp, so i tried to change some things in the Profiles menu. It worked, but now my phone vibrates with everything, even when I am going to use the keyboard, or when I send a message to someone...
Is there a fix for this? I already tried to reset the settings to factory.
Thanks in advance!
Fixed it already, nevermind.
But I have another problem. When I recieve a message/Whatsapp my phone does not vibrate.. How can I fix that?

Hi,
I'm new here, and have just upgraded my girlfriends MDA Vario II to Schap's 3.54 ROM, and everything appears to be working fine, apart from text messaging - which seems a bit strange. I was wondering if this is normal behaviour in WM6, and if not what might I be doing wrong?
I used PIM backup to backup the text messages she had before reflashing, and when I restore - the messages don't appear back in the SMS/MMS inbox. Also, if I send a text message to her, the message goes from the inbox when you do a soft reset on the phone (push the reset button on the bottom). Emails that are in the inbox disappear too.
Is there a setting to stop this, or have I cocked something up to cause this?
Thanks in advance! I'd never have realised you could do so much with these phones without this place...
Regards,
Brian.
I have the same over here. Now I copy my important SMS to my SIM card. Then I don't have this problem!
It's a workaround and is OK for me.......
If you close your messages program completely, instead of minimising it, your messages will be saved after a soft reset.
We've tried that, and they still seem to get deleted.
If you turn the phone off (press and hold the small power key on the side), then the messages are of course saved, and it seems as though they are then saved when you soft reset, but if you soft reset without doing this they get deleted..
By the sounds of this, it's a bit of a known bug then?
Brian.
reset button should only be used for two situations: hard reset or when the device hangs. Any other situation it's best to use the power button.
how fix this bug???
Its not a bug. When you use the power button (also a SR) the device is able to save settings, etc (including sms) before shutting down. Like pressing "shut down" on a PC.
The bottom button SR is an instant kill, you might say. Should only be used, really, if the phone freezes. Its like holding down the power button on your PC if it freezes. Therefore it will not save settings.
Just fyi, this hold true with regedits as well.

Sometimes PIM backup does not restore all the messages, you might have to restore again to make it work right...
I am not sure about disappearing...although, when the msg is unread and i happened to soft reset my phone, messages have disappeared before...i dont know any fix for that one..

Hey Brian. These guys are right. It's not a bug or issue at all. The phone just needs time to put stuff into memory that survives the soft reset. Using the power button to turn off and on should solve this.
use another rom
hi brian,
i had the same issue with some of the roms of schaps. the first two roms i used from schaps where working great with the messages. and they didn't get lost. with newer roms the problem occured like you described it. i also did some research, but it was a problem of the rom. you can wait really long (hours) before the sms is really saved.
so one of the first checks i run after installing a new rom is when the message itself is saved or do i loose messages after soft reset. my current rom "FuN_KeY_s_ROM_WWE_1.5.2" does not have this issue.
my suggestions: try another rom, maybe a newer from schaps!

Looks to me like you did not close the MESSAGING application properly! Only tabbing on the 'X' hides the application. Check in your settings if X BUTTON CLOSE FEATURE is enabled!
I encountered this behaviour of loosing messages, when I stored the
cemail.vol on my SDcard. Since I moved cemail.vol to standard location
(main memory, root) didn't have this problem once.
Just my 2 cents.

Just a guess here but how long were you waiting after recieveing the texts / emails etc before you did a Soft reset?
i find using the POWER BUTTON solves this problem .. not the reset button, seems to work for me hope that helps.
Its not JUST WM6, it happens on WM5 too and its to do with the message being stored in RAM rather than Memory (i beleive)
Hey all,
Have my phone on Vibrate and when I receive a Google mail the phone isn't vibrating and the LED isn't flashing. As far as I can see all options in Google mail and the phone settings suggest I should be getting both.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Hmmmmm a reboot seems to have fixed this, lets hope it doesn't get into a habit of it
didn't work for me, rebooted, but still no vibrate on new SMS, light flashing, tho
Apologize for cross-posting, but I'm getting frustrated with this. A reboot didn't help me either.
Everything was working before, but just today I noticed it refused to vibrate on email notifications. WinMo used to have a similar annoying bug, but it was related to replies. This bug is affecting all messaging notifications, i.e. Exchange, pop3, Gmail and SMS.
I've gone in to general settings and put vibrate on. I've gone into each account and turned vibrate on. I've gone into Messaging (SMS) and turned vibrate on. Vibrate is basically turned on throughout the system, but it's still not vibrating except for phone calls.
I've uninstalled all of the last apps I had installed to no avail.
Anyone with any advice?
Last resort could be hard reset

Not really keen on hard reseting, but will try that as a last resort.
I ended up fixing it with a hard reset.
First time around, I chose to reinstall the settings from the auto backup that was on the SD card, but I experienced the same behaviour.
Redid the hard reset and opted for cancel when asked about reinstalling the backup settings and all seems well so far.
Suspect it was a dodgy app or could have been that running the battery down flips a software switch to turn off vibrations, but the switch has a hard time flipping back. Will wait and see how long I can keep the vibrating notifications, but now I know how to solve it.
On another note, talk about a waste with that auto backup function. I mean, to really be useful you should be able to choose when it backs up and which backup you want to reinstall. Having it constantly backup settings like it does is bound to backup whatever went wrong in the first place. Oh well.
Hey guys, first post here of many hopefully.
Been following this thread from near the beginning and have finally got my hands on a HTC Desire via Vodafone Twitter deal
Absolutely love this phone and it's the envy of all my friends which is never a bad thing. I'm constantly discovering new things which is awesome and I'm pleased I came and saw the Android side.
Anyway, I've come across a problem.
When receiving texts, I've noticed that the phone will not vibrate. I've made sure that vibrate setting in the Messaging settings is green ticked and that Notifications is ticked. But still not working. It works when i'm rang just not when texted.
Have tried using Handcent messaging app but had the same problem... What can I do?
Thanks guys
I've had the same problem since I got mine two weeks ago.
Have you resolved this in any way? It's bloody annoying!
Hmm, strange... seems to work on my phone ok.
Since you have already tried Handcent, try the app "Sound Manager," from the Android Marketplace. Use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it see if that works.
Other than that, backup your data and try a hard reset (also try without SD card inserted) to eradicate any potential software bugs.
Tried sound manager, still no help.
I can get calls and notifcations to vibrate when on the normal profile and set them to vibrate, but on my normal profile I want sound only, so have vibrate turned off. When I change to the vibrate only profile, it will only vibrate for calls and not notifications.

I have to admit that I do not know if this should go in Q&A or here... first time posting. So I have been trying to figure this out for the last week. I have researched EVERYWHERE and I am unable to find it.
Last week my E4GT quit vibrating for text messages and emails. I did load a couple applications around the time this started happening so I uninstalled them and this did not help. I noticed that a few others were having this same problem and downloaded an application called Smart Vibrator and this only allows you to get the text messages to vibrate, not the emails. I use K9 Mail for my emails.
Since I know that Sprint Customer Service loves to tell me that it is my phone instead of listening to me, I did a complete reset of the phone (what a pain) and wiped everything. I unrooted, rerooted, everything... Again, nothing. Anyone recommend anything?
Well if anyone is having this problem, I have tried everything. I did find a couple apps that seemed to have worked. Vibrate tools or Force vibration seems to help.
There's a free app called Sound Manager that will let you set the vibration status.
Any luck on this geojam?
What seems strange to me is that you did a "complete wipe and reset", and it still didn't work, but after the fact an app "fixed" it.
I would have said do a complete ODIN reset, and if it still not working, get a replacement because it's hardware...
Btw, welcome to XDA!

Hi!
First of all, I'm new to this phone - I owned it for about 2 weeks. and I'm very happy with it. Nonetheless I have noticed an issue that I hope someone can help me out with:
Since the phone doesn't have the notification LED, I have tried out a couple of apps to facilitate this function. I ended up uninstalling them. Now I experience that some notifications are not coming through (so far I've noticed text messages). I'm trying to figure out whether this is an issue with the phone, or if it might have something to do with the notification apps that I tested? I configured the apps and settings/permissions as necessary to get them to work, but I never reset those same settings before I uninstalled.
The issue I am facing is e.g. if a text message is sent to my phone (with display not on), the text and/or notification randomly doesn't get through until I wake the phone. After waking it, the message comes through immediately. Could this have something to do with testing those notification apps? If so, is there any way to find the specific settings and reset them or am I facing a factory reset to get it to work properly again?
Any help or hint is appreciated
