How to change the message vibration pattern - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I would like the default vibration for a new message to be more noticeable. So I went in and changed the pattern in the settings. It didn't seem to change. Then I went and changed the pattern for that individual contact and still no change. Am I missing something. Plus the reminder vibration a minute later is just one short vibration.

Are you using the built-in app (Messages) for texting? Or is this in a different app (texting app or what's app, etc...)

I am using the built in message app. I need to because of poor reception at work and use the wifi calling to send messages. I contacted Samsung and they said the OS a software issue allowing the vibration changes to work.

Text messaging (SMS) vibration not working

I searched but so far nothing helped.
I have had the phone for about a week and up until this morning the phone would always vibrate for a text and a call (even in silent mode) in which I had the settings. Starting today (this afternoon) I would only get vibration during a call and not a text. I checked the settings and it's still the same (VIBRATE on ALL in the main settings) and VIBRATE when receiving notifications for GOPROSMS.
What seems to be the problem? No matter what I do it won't vibrate during a text even after I restarted the phone, pulled the battery, etc.
Thanks
open both SMS apps
the stock SMS app, and the Go SMS app
verify each of their notification settings
nope still doesnt work
but I deleted GoProSMS and downloaded handcent SMS and now the vibration works even though all the settings in GOPROSMS were correct.
I looked it up and it seems that GOPROSMS was updated today, may that have caused the problem?
Same here, I have pretty much messed with all the settings and now after uninstalling go sms the notifications seem to still not work.
i'm using Go SMS as well, but it vibrates fine for me
I learned that vibrate does not work for me unless I leave haptic feedback on at maximum. the lower haptic feedback is, the weaker your vibrate..I usually don't like haptic feedback but it seems like it has to go hand and hand with vibrate.
that's explains why i didn't have the issue, i always have it on, to the max
and i always enable vibrate on any app that supports this feature
personally it makes the phone feel more realistic
it's probably an addition from the PS2 controllers with vibration

SMS Vibration settings

Anyone find a solution for customizing vibration settings when receiving SMS/MMS?
NO, handcent and go sms do NOT work. Actually, when setting a custom settings in those apps, vibrations stop completely.
I've tried tasker, but it's 1:10 that the vibration settings i enabled works. Only thing i've found tasker good for is, screen on when charging.
you want to get a vibration feedback, after the SMS has been sent?
or do you simply want to get vibration when a SMS arrives? (because that can be turn on/off by default on those Apps you mentioned)
is that what you are trying to do?
I think he means setting for haptic feedback like in CM....long vibrate...short vibrate ...millisecond tuning for vibration length...etc

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what do you mean they dont work? i am using handcent and the vibration patterns work for me..i can change them to whatever i want (even custom)
make sure you are entering the format properly in handcent...its 0,______,______,______ (enter your off/on values [milliseconds], make sure there are no spaces)
might want to check your device if its not working for you...there is no problem with the app
I'm refering to custom vibration settings with receiving sms/mms. Default is 2 long pulses, id like to change that.
In handcent and gosms, you are able to allowed to enter custom vibrations settings ex: 200,0,200,0, etc. When doing so in both apps, vibrations stop completely. Also, their pre-existing options for vibration settings do not work either.
I'm just picky about how my phone vibrates when receiving sms/mms. I hate the 2 long pulses and wish it were just: 0,200,0
You obviously didn't read my post.. It does work.. It's cool though

You can download "SMS popup" from the market and mirror your stock messaging notification settings on it, disable the extra stuff like the actual sms popup feature, and when you get to vibration it has custom millisecond interval switches to adjust to your liking. Don't forget to disable notifications in stock messaging under settings and be aware that your screen won't turn on when you get a text as is by default with stock messaging there might even be a setting in sms popup to turn the screen on im not sure.
Hope this helps!

I cant believe more people dont want this feature as part of custom roms, heck even samsung roms.
my phone is on silent most of the day due to uni, and the galaxy s2 has the weakest most pathetic excuse for vibrations for recieved sms/call and i often miss it.
i realise gosms and handcent have this feature, but i dont like those bloated programs and i have privacy concerns with them.

[Q] Vibration Settings not Sticking?

Just got my brand new AT&T Galaxy S III today. I love the phone so far. Right now, the phone is completely stock.
One thing that isn't working correctly is the vibration, most specifically for GMail. I use the Vibrate profile the most since I go to school and would like notifications in class without any sounds. I like the stock "Heartbeat" vibration pattern, so I selected it. When I get new mail, it uses the default "Basic Call" vibration pattern, which I dislike. Although HeartBeat is selected, it uses the Basic Call pattern. I thought it was a GMail issue, so I checked the settings in there, but no luck. I've also rebooted the phone numerous times.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

SMS vibration in 8.0.0 (Android Messages)

I had vibration disabled for SMS in Android Messages but they're now all vibrating even though that setting is still disabled. Setting it to enabled and disabled again does not resolve.
Looks like each individual contact has its own vibration setting which is not changing based on the global app setting. It appears that we would need to disable vibration for every contact individually, which is potentially thousands of screen taps.
As notification settings have changed in Oreo and this only happened after the 8.0.0 update I have to assume it's a bug with the OS.
Am I overlooking another way to disable vibration for SMS or have you experienced the same thing?
Either the Google design team were drunk or this a bug; this is a horrendously stupid design.
It's worse than just SMS too, if you have an app with no explicit option to control vibration, you can not turn it off.
I upgraded to Android 8 just 3 days ago and I'm about to clean slate my phone and go back to v7.
They seriously need to add a global option for vibration.

Question Badges, notifications, push services, and lockscreen issues.

Hi all. I have CN rom (Tencent Games label). I previously had a Galaxy S21.
I have discovered that many of the frequent apps I use don't notify me well on this RM6. For messaging, I expect a sound, a screen wakeup, and a badge on the lockscreen for apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Outlook Email, etc. How can I get this happening on the RM6?
I also note that when I am in a voice-call on Whatsapp, that after the lockscreen timeout ends, the headphones (speakers and mic) stop working through the lockscreen. But if I unlock, the app (and open voice call) are still there.
I feel like the lockscreen is main issue, but I cannot see any suitable options to change the settings.
Help?
Regards, Sirdiver
i've the same issue in EU Rom, it's a software problem and for sure it will be fixed in the upcoming updates.
Same issue here.
Has this been fixed ?
The biggest issue i am facing right now with this lockscreen is not able to see who is calling me through normal phone call and WhatsApp call. The screen does not showing any details of the caller & keep blank until i unlock the screen. The notification settings on redmagic is so confusing with so unnecessary options. The worst part, after cracking my head configured with so many settings only for the notifications, it doesn't working as expected. Waste of time
Do any of you guys face not having notification icons on the Always-On Display? Not able to fix this issue after tweaking most of the settings and the phone has already been updated to the latest version.
