Hi guys,
Wondering if you can help. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and want to enable the "vibrate when ringing" feature when the phones "sound mode" is set to "vibrate" or "silent". But when I activate either of these modes the "vibrate when ringing" tick box is greyed out! It still shows the tick but when I get an incoming call it hums once and that's it! I want it to vibrate properly, like it does when the sound mode is on "Sound". Is there a setting that I am missing, or need to switch on? Surely there must be an option to do so. I mean, isn't that the whole point of setting the phone to vibrate?!?!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Is this happening with anyone else? It plays my notification sound for emails and texts with Gmail and voice but won't vibrate. Im using CM7 RC.
do you want kickback or just haptic feedback?
both work just fine..at least I would definitely notice if they werent.. and the only things Ive had issues with the entire palate of CM7 is some wifi or gps if you want kickback.. you may need to install that app as I am not sure if its built in cmsrc -- i always have it because well... its part of my own batch of apps.
go to Menu > Settings > Sounds > Vibrate > "Always"
This is set to "Never" by default in CM7.
Also notice the "Only when not in Silent mode" choice. I use this one because I obviously don't want silent mode to be vibrating. I noticed that when I select "Always" then go to a silent profile and back to regular, it will often rever my vibrate settings to "Never". I haven't noticed this using the "Only when not in Silent mode" selection.
I have googled and searched the forum, but I don't seem to find a right answer for this. All I want to do is when I put my phone on silence mode. I will still receive vibrate notification for emails and texts.
I tried to download the tools from the market and played with the setting for hours. I still cannot get it to work.
Someone please help!
so you want it to make no sounds ?
you don't need any fancy tools>>
just settings > sound> general> silent mode
and settings > sound> general>vibration> only when not in silent mode
you can probably get most behaviors by messing with those 2 settings combined with phone ringtone and notification rintone you should be able to make it do whatever you want without any other software
if you just want to kill the phone ringer but leave notification vibrations
then vibration only in silent mode
turn off silent mode
and set the phone ringtone to silent
and turn down the volume all the way

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
Settings > sound> pocket mode (Uncheck it)

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

same problem .. i have turned off all vibrating option and still it vibrate when message and call comes
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!
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
Hi! Was just gifted this phone and I'm already missing a few customisation options (Coming from OP8Pro). Does anyone know if this phone has a vibrate option when the call is answered? I checked in the main settings, and the dialer settings, but couldn't find it anywhere.
