I feel like I have to be missing something dumb here. I can't get the G3 to be in vibrate mode and vibrate when I get a text or call. When I get the call the screen just lights up to the caller screen. It doesn't even vibrate when I have the ringer on. Under settings -> Sound, I have Silent mode set to vibrate then the Ringtone with vibration checkbox goes grey. This is what my sound settings are in the screenshot. What am I missing?

your not the only one i have missed quiet a few calls because this phone isnt vibrating
Good to know you are also having this issue. I just got it on Friday and I haven't dropped it. The phone won't even vibrate when I switch it into vibrate mode like my S3 did. It vibrates when I turn the phone off so I know that it can vibrate. It has to be a setting that we are missing. I am trying to stay away from a hard reset of the phone.
Settings-sound and click Vibrate. Turn strength up. I found it rather weak. So changed Vibration type to a loner ong and boosted strength some. Helps
idk. no problems on my side

It's not that. I already had that set to Vibrate. I get vibration from other apps like Facebook when I have a notification. I checked the default texting app and it's set to vibrate always.

Ok, now it seems to be working. I restarted the phone and it went through the optimizing apps screen. I wonder if it was having issues still after I tried switching to ART runtime. I switched it back to Dalvik yesterday but it maybe didn't optimize everything.
I've been having the same issue. It fixes itself whenever I restart but keeps coming back. I have the at&t version in case that makes a difference.

Having same issue, on rooted Verizon. That option stays grayed out...anyone find the answer to this?
I just updated to lollipop and I'm having the same issue. I can't get my texts or emails to vibrate at all. Picture in the first post is accurate for me. Vibrate mode active and notification and touch sliders are greyed out.

yup, that's the fix I also found for this problem. Restarting fixes it.
A new official update popped up two days ago and the vibration stopped working after it was installed. I tried rebooting, I even did factory reset, but still not working. Help?

So just 20 minutes ago my phone was working fine, and now I'm getting no haptic feedback nor does my phone vibrate for notifications or calls...
I tried rebooting the phone with no luck.
I disabled and then re enabled the haptic feedback.
Has this happened to anyone? Do you know of a fix?
Mine was doing the same thing. Only thing I could think of was a factory reset which did the job.... sorta. Calls vibrate now but notifications don't.

Mine does the same thing now: vibrates on calls & haptic feedback works, but not notifications when its on vibrate silent mode
Has anyone found a fix?
EDIT: found a fix
Download an app called Sound Manager from the market or any other app that lets you change all the sound settings.
Once in the app, hit menu and then vibrate settings. Change the notification from Don't Vibrate to something else. Wola!
I don't know why the messaging app lies and tells you that it changed the settings when it doesn't...

I had a similar problem, let me ask you this: Does the phone play any sounds on notifications when it's not vibrating?

I switched to ICS today and my messaging app stopped vibrating...I turned on all the vibrations in the sound menu in settings but nothing happened. Then I went to the messaging app's setting in messaging --> (menu) --> settings and scroll down to "vibrate" and choose "also vibrate when notified".
This will fix it

i tryed the app fix and it worked since i was having the same issue of no vibrating when notifications came in on my g2 ... thanx man for the quick fix since i didnt want to restore the phone again. as for how the issue happend in the 1st place it was after a bombardment of text messages at once ..
My shiny new Nexus doesn't seem to want to vibrate, it's set to always vibrate when ringing and the keyboard should be vibrating. Anyone else noticed a problem like this?
Hoping I'm just missing some setting somewhere but it seems like it's probably a hardware fault.
Remember to make sure vibrate on touch is also selected (bottom of the sound option in settings)
Also are you using the stock keyboard?
"Vibrate on touch" is selected and I'm using the stock keyboard.
Does the phone vibrate when you shut it down or when it first turns on from a cold boot? If not maybe your vibrator is pooched.
Nope, no vibrate on boot or shut-down, I guess if it's supposed to be doing that then this one is definitely a dud.
I would say see if it vibrates when you adjust the volume down to vibrate mode, or try an app that lets you test the vibrator. But it sounds like it is a dud.
I have problem with vibration on notifications. I have set vibrate always, but when SMS or email arrives, nothing happend.
But touching bottom buttons does vibrate, even turning of and on or putting phone to silent mode by volume buttons.
That's realy weird.

You have to individually set those apps to vibrate.

if not vibrating on shut down, i say exchange yours then.
anyone find a solution to this? my phone doesnt vibrate when i get email, texts or gtalk. i went in to each app and set them to always vibrate, but still nothing.
I noticed yesterday that if you use your volume buttons to put your phone in silent , there is a setting after vibrate where the speaker icon is crossed out. In that setting nothing vibrates. I was freaking out yesterday until I figured that out

I was having the same problem with notifications. I had the notification level set to vibrate and the messaging app set to vibrate "always" but it wouldn't work when I received messages until I restarted my phone... now it vibrates like it should
I also have this problem. My phone doesn't vibrate when I'm receiving a call, text, or email.
Mine wasn't working either until I selected Vibrate on Touch. Not sure why this was necessary.
I am having the same problem. Phone calls vibrate, also vibrates when shutting down, starting up, turning volume down to vibrate also vibrates, but no notifications (email, text, google voice, etc.) vibrate.
Bumping old thread because I'm having this issue now!
Phone vibrates for everything except notifications. Calls, touches, start up/shut down, everything vibrates. I've checked all requisite settings and it doesn't matter. Worked fine earlier today and it doesn't work now...
Edit: And just like that, it's back again. Several reboots and toggling later. Not sure exactly what did it, but I had downloaded several toggle widgets and toggled all 'round till it worked on a SMS.

Did you ever fix this problem? I just picked up a used Gnex and am seeing the same problem. There's no vibration during boot and shut-down. None of the settings and apps I've tried have been able to make a difference.

Settings - Sound - Vibrate (When calls & notification ) - Disable that and it should be fine. Or doesn't that help ?
I have already done the settings in sound, still it does not help.

Tried putting it on "No-Sound" mode ? (Add Sound Widget, there are 3 modes : Sound, Vibrate, No Sound)
That last one should disable everything if I'm correct ?
Uncheck pocket mode

I have the same problem here. I don't think turning the pocket mode off is the right fix. It vibrates even I leave it on the table.
Yeah same for me the damn vibration woke me up as its really loud. I have pocket mode enabled though, isnt it only supposed to put the volume up? Besides my phone was laying on a table with the sensor unblocked

Vibrate Issues - Could be a Common Problem with Android
I think this is a common problem with Android phones as this happens not only on my EVO 3D but also on a brand new Sony Xperia P. Even restarting the phone after changing/toggling between vibrate on and off between restarts does not help. Despite checking all settings and turning off, when any notification or an incoming call or anything happens, the phone vibrates!
I have checked all applications' settings too because some settings are there for vibrate for notifications. IMO chat app, etc and even in messaging I have vibrate turned off under settings for notifications and STILL the phone vibrates! This IS an ISSUE and I don't see why Android developers:highfive: or even Mobile Company QA personnel:cyclops: have not bothered to check this BASIC issue and Resolve it over so long! Could be the cause of why Android Battery life sucks so much or an inherited bug! Tried this even on a HTC Explorer.
From what I've read around there is NO way to disable all vibrations in non-rooted android phones! Kinda stupid if you ask me. For a rooted phone you have to download an app like either Spare Parts and disable vibration via that. Why they don't have the option to globally disable all vibration as default settings on Android beats me?! You can turn off vibration under settings for notifications and anything but you WILL still get vibrate despite turning all vibrate settings OFF! They HAVE to rectify this nonsense! Basic functionality and they can't even get that right!
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!

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.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39592
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.

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.
