I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, but I have searched for quite a while to find a solution to this. The vibration when you receive an SMS message seems to last an extremeley long time. I've found how to shorten the vibration duration with the ringtone via registry settings, but this had no effect on the SMS notification. I've also read that the SMS vibrate lasts as long as whatever ringtone you have selected, but a change to a shorter ringtone had no effect.
Is there another registry setting that will allow me to modify the duration of the vibration for an SMS notification?
Thanks for any help!
Device: Cingular 8125
ROM: Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE
I'd like to know this as well if possible. When I've got it on vibrate on the desk in work, getting an SMS makes the whole room shake!
Would like to know this aswell!
no solution for that one?
The vibration duration is consistent to the duration of the notification tone you are using even when on vibrate only. So if you have a tone that does a quick chirp your phone will vibrate for the duration of that quick chirp. If you choose a 10 second long sound file your phone will vibrate for 10 seconds.
Hope that helps.

Is there any way of changing the vibrate patterns? Particularly, so there is a different one between recieveing an SMS and a phone call.
Cheers

Under "Phone Settings"
You'll find information there on how to change the ring/vibrate/LED behavior for incoming calls.
I don't think you can (easily) change the behavior of the vibrate option for Notifications - which is what an incoming SMS generates.
I'm trying to figure out a way to have the ringtone continuously play, but have a different vibrate pattern. I did "apv1w1v1w2r" but it has to play the whole ringtone before it vibrates. Any suggestions?
Has anyone noticed that when set to vibrate mode, when an SMS is recieved it vibrates for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time?
I have found that you can change the vibrate length for calls, but none of this seems to work for sms's.
Anyone know of a way to shorten the length of the sms vibrate?
Also, reading the text doesn't cancel the vibrate, is there a way to fix this instead of/as well as the above?
Regards,
Chris

You could take a look at pocketmax's Phone Alarm is this takes over all notifications regarding SMS/Emails/Voice and Missed calls.
Not sure if it solves the looonnnnng vibrate issue though.

nah i cant see that pocketmax's Phone Alarm allows you to change the duration or the vibrate.
Is it possible to tweak the registry to get get these 3-short-vibrations for incomming events (MMS, SMS) even if ringer not set to vibration. usually you will get one long vibration for incomming events if vibration for this event is turned on.
I use Valert to cutomize the vibration.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437279
I already use Valert but it changes only ringtone vibration not events like sms or mms.
Hello guys!!!!
my second problem...
is there any modify to extend the duration of led notification for missed calls and sms???
i think is normal that LED should flash until I read the sms or missed calls!!!!
many thanks guys
Hello
There is a way to do it. Use the cab on this forum so you have the otion to select LED notification. Then if you go to start/settings/all settings/sounds and notifications in there is a drop down menu. Select whatever notification your after and change the time duration from the default 5 mins to no limit.
Hi guys,
Is there a way to chill out the vibration on this phone?
Everytime I receive an email or I get an appointment reminder, the phone vibrates for like two seconds.
It should just chill out and give me a short vibrate.
I have managed to tone down the vibration on SMS using SMS popup but appointments and emails are still hyper.

He's obviously not talking about the haptic feedback.
Noticed that as well. Any notification vibrates so long you think it's a call.
Been looking at this, using Handcent has let me change the text vibrate pattern but nothing for emails. I've read that people have used tasker to do it instead.
I set vibro and sound off for all apps that use notifications, because I do not need to feel them - I use the notifications whenever I view the screen.
I think the length of vibro MAY depend on the length of the SOUND tone you set for specific notifications? like it was with old dumb phones? Try picking a shorter sound.
Just put it in your pocket and smile all day long .
