Duration of SMS Notification Vibration

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.

Change Vibrate pattern for incoming calls

So Handcent allows you to change the vibrate notification pattern for SMS.
Is there any way to change it for incoming calls? I find the current pattern bad, as it is one small 'blip' followed by a fairly long pause before it vibrates again. I'd want it to start big to get attention faster.
Is there any application out there that allows this to be changed?

+1 on this one too...I think short multiple vibrate is effective for calls too

Missed Call allows for this.

Just installed it, and it only seems to allow it for after the call has been missed?

Who fancies a challenge?

Hi,
I've asked a question on here before about whether the vibration of the phone during calls and sms messages can be altered to a pulse rather than constant. I've figured out that the phone is capable of having a pulse vibrate so can anyone on here get it to work how I would like?
If I can into settings>sound and display>notification sounds>new message and where it says vibrate set the slider to "only", whenever I get a message the vibration pulses, but the only trouble is I don't get any sound. If I set the slider to "on" I get sound when a message comes in, but the vibrate is constant, and if you have a long sms alert it's a little annoying.
Can someone figure out how to change it so you get both sound, and pulsing vibrate? Can this also be done for incoming calls, and email alerts?
Cheers, Toby

Pretty sure thats hardcoded, either in the messaging-app itself or in a component it uses
Have you checked the registry for anything that might be of use?

Unfortunately that's a bit out of my depth, which is why I've asked on here

Vibrates too much!!!

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.

Menu > Settings > Sound there you will find Vibration as well as Vibration intensity.

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 .

[Q] SMS vibration

I looked everywhere for this and haven't seen anything.
If I set the entire phone to vibrate mode, incoming SMS won't vibrate.
Phone calls, email, all vibrate. SMS does not.
They only way I can get incoming SMS to vibrate is by setting SMS to "Also vibrate when notified"
The problem with this: Then SMS vibrates all the time, where phone is in vibrate or has sound on.
How do I set the SMS to only vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate?

I haven't found a way to do what you are requesting as of yet. Google took this away with the JB update I believe. However CM has an option in setting called profiles that will do this for you when properly set up. If you find something let us know I'd be interested.

There has to be some way around this, without the need to use a 3rd party sms app. I like the stock messaging app, but don't care for no vibration or vibrate all the time.
I also have an issue where the screen doesn't actually come on when sms is received, but I see a number of people on Sprint have that problem.
If I can find anything, I will post back. Hope to check some more tonight when I get off work.
