I did a search of the forums and found 2 post without any solution to this problem. It started happening today to me and I've tried almost everything to make it work, i dont want to resort to a hard reset. Does anyone know how to solve this? My vibrate motors work fine as I just reverted back from an HTC Magic Port and my messages were vibrating perfectly fine.
Bump Still searching, found info that suggest a reboot removes this or setting the volume all the way down to silent then to vibrate would force it to fix itself. My G1 Still is not vibrating but the engine is perfectly fine because I keep testing it with a Magic Rom (H5.0.2).
Well, the obvious question is, have you gone into the messaging app and set it to vibrate?
Done all the sets already to properly troubleshoot the problem. Deleted any program having to do with calls and sms and still nothing.
Well then the only thing left is a factory reset. Once thats done make sure to go back into the messaging app and set it to vibrate.
If that doesnt fix it and you are running a rooted phone then reflash whatever firmware you are running.
An actual answer!
I had the same problem as you... i just got my phone yesterday, and I've been trying to get it to vibrate... and finally i found out how to! Go into messaging app (if a thread is open, click the MENU button press "more" then "all threads"); click the MENU button; press "settings"; at the very bottom of the list press "vibrate".

the phone will not stop alarming and it does not give me the option to turn off the alarm or even see the notification. I have tried a soft reset and also turning off all alarms, along with the notifications and sounds settings. If I turn all the sound settings down to zero the phone does not audibly alarm but it still vibrates, even though the vibrate feature is turned off. All started when I dropped my phone.
I cannot figure out how to fix this, and its driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a notification problem - use check notification to delete duplicate notifications (only delete these not all of them) Click options/settiings and tick both boxes. There may be a null notification that is often a problem that you will need to click on and delete.
Run exe on pc desktop after activesync your device.
how do you get there
I cannot find the area that you are talking about. can you give a more detailed way of getting to that area with the names of the windows that I need to click on? Thanks,
Dave

I assume the program is installed on your device. Click on check notifications icon in startmenu\programs. Click on options then settings and tick remove duplicate events box and remove script 0x000 box then ok. Then click clear and it should clear all duplicate notifications for you.
I actually had the exact same problem on my 9100. After a couple of days I simply went ahead and made a hard reset....and havent had the problem since
Jakob
I had this problem a couple of times as well. Clearing duplicate notifications (using CheckNotifications or MemMaid) and the offending notification does NOT solve the problem. It will stop the errant alarm, but the next time one of your regularly scheduled alarms goes off, you will have the exact same problem. It's as if there's some error in the program which is responsible for creating the little box with the alarm message in it and switching the left soft key ot a dismiss button.
So unless you plan on never again using your alarm clock or setting reminders for anything, jacking with the notifications will not solve the problem.
The only way I have been able to fix the problem is with a hard reset. I'm sure there has to be some other way, but I sure haven't found it yet.
Is there a cure for this or no? I just downloaded check notification and ill give it a shot, but so far it shows no duplicate alarms on my system which i find hard to believe...
Did you tick both boxes in the options and delete a notification called null - have to click and hold to delete it. The alarm notifications are under clock.exe - delete all manually if not showing up duplicates. (click and hold)
Don't use WM 5 alarms at all
I use ActiveKitten's Chronos Alarms - no worries at all!
I also had this problem and a hard reset was the only thing I could do. Afterwards I restored my backup and never had the problem before.
Just extract the nowifinotif.exe file and copy to \Windows\StartUp on your device and perform a soft reset.
It works on my HTC Touch Pro, I'm assuming it will work for any HTC device or possible any WM6 device.
Let me how how it works, and what device your using.
Disabling the notification will work on my device, however after each soft reset they are back. This will fix that issue
This is a standard setting...unless you are trying to do something different.
Settings->Sounds/Notifications
Wireless networks in the dropdown.
Uncheck all of the notifications.
yes, i know it's a setting under notifications.
this is for all the people like myself where that setting doesn't hold. when i soft-reset my device the notifications would come back and i would have to disable it every time. I have bumped into many posts about it with no fix. this is that fix.
Gotcha, that's cool. I've never seen it not stick but that would be a crappy problem.
Nice work on the fix.

Wow for song long i have been annoyed about the wifi popup notification, i knew about the setting but assumed it did nothing, not that it worked but didnt stay
Your app works spot on, is there anyway to still have the sound alert enabled (sonar or something), but just disable the onscreen notification?
Sure
Sure here you go, it assumes you have the file \Windows\Alert-Sonar.wma
and plays that sound when a network is detected. If you don't have that file just rename or create one with that name and put it in your windows directory.
If you are still paying attention to this thread, I would appreciate advice
Hi,
I have a new HTC 6800.
I would LOVE for the file posted as the solution to work for me as I have the same problem with popping up notifications.
However when I installed the file and did a soft reset I get this message:
The program is from an unknown publisher, running it can possibly harm your device do you want to continue?
When I click "yes" I then get this message:
Unable to run the file nowifinotif the certificate is invalid
Ugh. Is there anything that I can do to get the file to run?
thanks!
Oh snap - another solution just found
OK,
Nevermind my last question - another solution was just found.
This model has a side button to turn on/off the wi-fi - who knew! Well, mobiletechreview.com, thankfully!
"don’t fret: slide the Wi-Fi slider on the left side of the Mogul to turn Wi-Fi on. "
So, I'll just turn the Wi-Fi off unless I actually want to use it, which eliminates the constant notifications. Whew.

Hi Chet,
Thank you for your solution! How does it work?
Also, any idea what causes the issue in the first place?
Thank you,
Jeff
Good idea, I've read a number of posts about this, but have assumed it was a GSM phone problem. Could anyone confirm what phones have the problem and which don't?

I don't know exactly but I've been using it myself for a while with no problems. I'm guessing it writes changes to the registry keys that control wifi notifications.
The problem is likely to be that some process is writing some other changes on each soft reset. That's my guess anyway.
How it works
Yes your correct, I don't know why it happens only what's happening and how to fix it.
When you disable the notifications under settings on your device it changes the following values under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Notifications\<"SOME GUID"> with the ".DEFAULT" value = to "Wireless network detected".
after you soft reset your device this registry setting gets reset for some reason.
The other values under this key are:
"Options", "AvailableOptions", and "Wave".
Options is what kind of notification is currently assigned (none, sound, popup, ect)
AvailableOption is your choices of what you could pick from
And wave is what sound will play if enabled.
My program just sets this value back at startup. I can post the source code if anybody actually wants it, but yeah I have no idea why it's happening.
Thank you, Chet. That helps me understand a little more.
no problem
Works for me
Chet,
Thanks, works for me. Small problem, but very annoying.
I've found a few other boards with this question, and I've pointed them here.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=114943&jump=true
Yeah it's an anooying bug. As a workaround I just made a .WAV file with no sound (just 1 second of silence) and assigned that one to the WLAN detecten notification. Works also
What About Other Notifications
Chet,
That was great. But I've noticed almost the same thing happens for "new email" and for "Reminders".
For both of those, I have "display message on screen" unchecked, but the phone still displays the message onscreen. However, in this case, the boxes remain unchecked after reboots.
Have you noticed that HTC's TF3D interface displays a callout box (cartoon quote) for the on screen reminders in the header, so that if I get new email and a calendar appointment, or some other reminder like an SMS or missed call, I get a "callout" box shaped notification at the top of my screen. Now, I get curious as to what the message is, so I click it. TF3D then opens their "easy icon view" screen, on which a bigger callout box is one of the buttons. I click that, and the standard MSFT tiny icons appear at the top of the screen again for "new email" and some other useless reminder like "Mtg at Johns". I need to click these tiny reminders, one at a time, then view the display message on screen, then click the soft "dismiss" button. Is this an easy way of handling reminders that I didn't want in the first place. @#$# HTC and MSFT!!
Any ideas?
This sounds great! I have a Fuze (with TAEL ROM) and this has been annoying me for a while. I suspect most people don't see it because they have wifi turned off most of the time. In my case, it's always on as I don't have a data plan
For some reason, none of my SMS programs will vibrate even when I tell them to... SMS Pop-up, CHOMPSMS and the default messaging won't vibrate. The Missing Call app in the market will vibrate though so anyone have an idea as to what the problem is?
mine is the same way. don't understand it. seems to have started with the update
I have noticed with the newest (5.0.1 and 5.0.2) update from cyanogen whenever I flash either his ROM (or my theme which uses his ROM as a base) that I have to go into the messaging app and re-check the vibrate option.
Weird - this occurs on mine also on all messaging apps. I have rooted with the new update (not the newest one that isn't OTA yet). Any advice?
Anyone have any fixes? I noticed that notifications for other apps don't vibrate as well; Gmail and mobile package tracker specifically.
i found a solution by trolling other forums. install 'sound manager' from the market. open it, hit the menu soft key, and select the vibration settings option. when that opens, set it up however you want. tested it, and now i have vibration with sms again! sounds like it is some extra work, but whatever. it works
You are my hero! that fixed it!

oooo crap that's true... oo wait, IT DOESN'T WORK...
no, it didn't work for me, and doesn't for several people. the sound manager app fixed it. trust me. try it out.
Use handcent lol, Vibrate works great for me lol.
Confirmed - issue occurs on ANY rom as soon as Handcent is installed. Sound board or wipe is only way to resolve.
sound manager app fixes. see my post above
Hey Guys,
So I've been absolutely loving my htc incredible thus far. However, just recently I wanted to have my phone only vibrate for SMS notifications when I realized it wasn't vibrating at all.
I've been through all the settings of Messaging > Settings > check vibrate and such. Also going to sounds and display > only to find nothing really for vibrate and nothing helped in there. I also have tried turning down to vibrate only and ALSO selecting vibrate mode from holding the power button. BUT NOTHING IS WORKING! I've searched on google and through here and haven't found anything but some fixes for the moto droid with third party apps. I'm thinking this is an android bug.
Any takers? Thanks.
I FOUND THE FIX.
It requires the third party app HOWEVER you don't need to keep it.
Go to the market and download an app called "Sound Manager" by Daniel Roozen.
Once downloaded, launch the app, press menu, go to vibrate settings and there should be two options.
BOTH should be onto vibrate whenever possible. The bottom one was set to don't vibrate and was most likely set by another app I had previously downloaded.
My phone now vibrates when it should be.

You're welcome! I think it's a bug via the software. Please spread the fix! It's helped a lot of people over at android central.
I'd like to add my thanks for sharing this fix too kentoe...cheers mate - wuz starting to do my head in
Everything I could see was ticked to vibrate...dunno which app had caused it to stop but this sorted it. Ta again....
Am I the only that thinks this? all day long I miss texts and emails when the phone is in my pocket because the rings and the vibrate (specailly the vibrate) are too soft and the vibrate is so short and soft.
anyone knows if we can make the vibrate last longer?
and also the screen feedback vibrate is kind of week...maybe I am use to using the app TouchAz..something.... in my WM diamond where I could control the length of the feedback(vibrate) when the screen was pressed and when it was realesed.
Right???
Other than that so far the Evo kicks A$$
I cant be the only one after more than 33 views that doesn't think the vibrate on this phone sucks, or the response from the screen....
Come on...
I actually prefer the smoother vibrate on this phone to the one on the Hero. Seems somehow nicer, even if it is slightly harder to detect.
Im sure many improvement to the apps and phone it self will come. But for now you can use Handcent Sms. You can control the vibrating pattern of SMS and MMS messages.
View attachment hc_sms.apk
Go to handcent.com for any other downloads. I got the apk from there.
'missed reminder' in the market is great for repeating notifications...still wish it was built into android though
used in on the hero and just installed it today on the evo
Im sorry but the last two phones I had that actually featured haptic feedback had it wrong. This thing is like buttah...
Your notifications might be locked down to your ringtone volume, mine were by default so you might need to address that. -hope you get it sorted out.
Ok...now I know why I seem to think the vibrate is weak...is actually not vibrating at all for me. and i have checked in all the settings and they are all checked for "vibrate"
Anyone else's Evo not vibrating?
I tried putting the volume to vibrate to see if it works and it does vibrate that way but everytime i get an email or text it only sounds and not vibrate...
Damn.
Posting for later.
same here...it seems to have happened after i installed swype..but i hope thats not the problem
i use SMS POPUP to control sound and vibration for sms.
before I realized that the vibrate wasnt working at all I also downloaded an app like someone here adviced to control the notifications (handcent) but how can I control it if it isnt working....
the app is pretty cool btw.
going to the sprint store later to see what they say.

Did you check the settings within Handcent, and the Stock messaging app, and as well through Menu > Settings > Sounds & Display?
Just to confirm, yes when I change the notifications between vibrate and normal, those changes take place as they should. I'm on a non rooted device.

i was able to fix my vibrating problem with an app called sound manager
My Evo was not vibrating for text messages when i first got it. i fixed it by factory resetting
