Hello everyone, after searching for hours I couldn't find an answer to my problems.
Firstly, when I put my phone in "vibrate only" it does nothing. So I looked in SMS app setting and checked "Vibrate with notification", then vibration started working in vibrate mode BUT the phone also vibrates when in "Sound mode". My question is: is there a way to get it working like before, vibrate mode vibrates only and sound mode emits sound only? I'm not the only one with this problem but still couldn't find solutions. (by the way I already did a factory reset since I thought the problem was with a custom rom)
Also, the stock rom won't send MMS if mobile data is switched OFF, you have to manually turn it on, send (or receive) MMS and turn it back off. I actually came across a custom rom which turned mobile data ON automatically when you try to send or receive a MMS and turn it off after, but I can't remember what rom it is. I think it was Task's 650 4.3 but this option stopped working for an unknown reason (maybe an update?) The setting I'm talking about is often called "Always receive MMS" correct me if I'm wrong. Has anyone else seen that feature with their S3 with some custom rom?
Thanks in advance
edit: I just flashed The Collective latest rom and the Vibration/Sound issue is corrected, no feature for auto data switch though

My phone vibrate function stopped working after I downgraded from WM5 back to WM2003SE. Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks!
Can you be more specific? For example, have you tried to open vibrate function at settings?
@nonreal - i have gone into settings and don't see a "vibrate" option. unless you are talking about the selection in the phone tab. i already tried that and the phone does not vibrate at all. not sure if anyone out there has had this problem and found a solution to it.
My GNex is running 4.2 now, and I've noticed that when the phone is on silent, the phone vibrates when new gmail messages come in. If I check the settings, it specifically says "Never" under vibrate settings.
Has Google changed Gmail's vibrate behavior in 4.2 so that Never actually means Sometimes?
Can anyone confirm?
I hope this gets fixed!

Yes, I have the same issue, for both Gmail and Calendar
It vibrates in ALL notifications. Someone knows how to disable it?
Regards!
Just a hunch, but I tried it and it worked. If you don't care about not having any notification for gmail (sound or vibrate) then set the notification sound to silent and vibrate never. Unfortunately you won't get sound if you want that, but at least it's not vibrating now.

I want to keep the vibration on for stuff like text messages, just not email. When I'm at work I can read my email on my computer, so I turn my phone to vibrate so that it's not beeping all day long. With 4.2, I've replaced beeping with vibrating. It's very annoying.
Google, never means NEVER!

This works for gmail, but not the email app that I use for my work email.

I'm having the same issue, and it's very annoying. I want to keep the image in the notification bar, but I don't want it to vibrate - like I had before the 4.2 update. I even tried toggling the notifications off and on and toggling between "only on silent" and "Never," but it continues to vibrate. I only want my phone to vibrate for text messages/google voice messages.
There is at least one bug ticket raised for this.

Star it to get it some attention.
Possible solution
Possible solution, for those of you who usually only run between sound and vibrate mode on your phone. Just go into the gmail settings and toggle the vibrate to "only in silent mode" you won't get a vibrating notification...
That's what I just set mine to do.

This didn't work for me. Always vibrates when in vibrate mode no matter what I have set. Funny enough, when I set the phone to silent mode there is no vibration even when it is set to 'Only in silent mode'.
I just hope this is identified as a bug and wasn't done on purpose. It's going to be an annoying few weeks while I wait for another OTA.
Any update to this? I'm having the same problem with text messages vibrating.
Same issue here. I have a custom 4.2 ROM flashed with this problem. I even tried reverting back to stock and reflashing. That did not solve the problem.
Same problem for me with official 4.2 OTA update, on a yakju galaxy nexus
That's no GMail bug, unfortunately it's a new "feature" introduced in Android 4.2. If you ar looking at the commits in AOSP, you can see it is a new system wide sound-to-vibrate conversion feature.
If you change the phone to vibrate mode, all applications which are playing notification sounds are then vibrating. Genious!
It should be possible to deactivate vibration therefor if you disable the notification sound in the specific app.

I want to punch whoever made this "feature" in the face!
Hi,
Strange problem with my note 2.
My phone doesn't vibrate when receiving a text message...
I can't see any settings to change when the phone should vibrate or not when on silent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andy
weird innit....
in the messaging app, go to settings and scroll down, under "notification settings" you can enable vibrate
Seems to be a bug
I have the same issue, but it is only an issue when the screen is off. If the screen is on, the vibrate feature works as the settings I have indicate it should. It appears to be a bug.
Searched high and low and there isn't a fix that I could find, so I just used Tasker (app) to set the phone to vibrate whenever a text message is received. Does the trick, now it vibrates on SMS receipt whether the screen is on or off.

I have the same issue on my T-Mobile Note 2 running a ported international ROM. It's driving me insane! :crying:
Thanks for the idea with using Tasker. I'm going to give that a try until I find an updated ROM release.
ATT Galaxy S3, Stock ROM (4.1.1) with root.
I can't get vibration to work for notifications in non-stock apps (mainly trying to get it to work in messaging app: go sms).
In sound, I have 'sound and vibration' checked, but the test notification tool in go sms is reporting that "system vibration is off" and when running the test, it reports "Has turned on vibrate in silent mode"
I have tried putting the phone into 'vibrate' mode and 'mute' mode and comparing the settings, and from everything I see, the vibration settings seem to be correct in my system settings, but I still can't seem to get notifications to vibrate.

Try to wipe cache and davlik and fix permissions. It has worked for me before and other times not when this happened. Can't hurt to try it

Wiped the cache from recovery (didn't see an option for davlik, guessing that's for a custom recovery, and not stock?), still no vibration when using Go SMS, and starting to think (after more digging on the net) that it may be an issue with Go SMS, rather than the Galaxy S3.
I may revert back to using stock messaging for the time being (as i'm not getting as many group texts as I was when I started using go sms for that feature) until I can get this figured out or Go SMS fixes the issue if it's something wrong with the app.
Working now
I'm not sure what happened, but this morning I got a text and vibration worked though go SMS. I don't remember seeing an update come in for it, but everything is working as expected now. Woo~

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.

At this point, I'm back to using the stock messaging app. After the upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3 (can't remember which) android has native support for group messaging, which was the only reason I was using GoSMS in the first place. I don't know that I can be much more help to you, unfortunately

Hay... I was able to fix this. I actually had inverse issue. I was unable to turn OFF vibration in Go SMS notification. It must vibrate no matter what phone status is.
It is being set here in Go SMS settings > Advanced (tab) > Notification Settings > Default Notification Settings > and look for Vibrate. Check or uncheck it according to your desire.

Were you able to fix it the way I did?
This is weird. I have just understood why I was missing so many calls or SMS... When I put the phone in vibrate mode, it acts the same as silent mode.
When switching the mode on, it does vibrate to confirm it's on, but receiveing an email or SMS does nothing.
If I force vibrate always from within email and message applications settings it will vibrate, but I do not want the phone to vibrate always. Actually, I do not want to have to go into all apps that could use vibrate mode to switch it on.
Anybody has seen this behaviour? I have checked the forums and seen similar issues, but none that looked the same.
This is with WanamLiteV1.2 and Adams kernel 1.3+
