How do I disable vibrate all together? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I just got a Magic and I have chompsms installed. I believed I clicked somewhere to disable vibration but how come whenever I get a new text message the phone vibrates? I dont want it to vibrate

Maybe you have vibrate enabled on the native messaging app. Check if you do, and disable that

I dont even know where the option is, I looked through, but I think I am missing something! but once again, I'm new to the Magic
I think its chomp sms that doesnt have the function to disable it.. im not sure though

message sms sent alert box

Hi, maybe mine is a noob question. With my blackstone when I send an sms I don't see the white message box that says the message was sended... where does I turn this alert on? It's not listed under sounds and notifications. I think this is not displayed since I clicked on "disable error messages" or something similar because when I was turning on wifi services.exe used to crash even if all seemed to work fine. Thank you.
do you have hd tweak installed??
No, is it necessary? How do you think this alert has disappeared?
i dont know but hd tweak has the hability to turn it on or of.
i advise you to install hd tweak. not only becouse of the sms message but other tweaks too. a must have in my opinion

Messaging Notification -=- Hand cent

First of all I am rooted -=- already everything works fine for me only one thing I am having issues,, I installed Handcent…and made it my default TEXTING app
But I still get notifications from the messaging app that came pre installed
..
I did go to settings>I unchecked Auto retrieve and Notifications on the pre installed so
I won’t get it notification from the preinstalled app
It was doing good before the ROOT
But now I get both apps notifying me?
Can anyone give some advice?
To resolve this issue
yeah just go to the settings of the default txting app and turn off notifications there.
I did still get both notifications

1. The auto retrieve is for multimedia messages - if you leave it unchecked it will send you a message asking if you want to download it, then it will come to your phone (So, i'd probably re-enable that)
2. I doubt this will make a difference, so you can try to skip over the 3 if you want, but, you can try re-enabling the notifications, selecting the "silent" ringtone, and then disable the notifications again (just in case there was a bug about the notification box)
3. This is what most likely is the problem and I'm at work so I don't have time to test out all the combinations, but do you have another app that controls sounds (ringo, sms alert, etc.) that could be sounding an alert as well? Test out changing different alerts and txting yourself (either from your phone or set up a google voice account and send them quicker) and see what alert is really is that's notifying you besides handcent.
good luck, I'll check back after work!

I was just about to make a thread asking if anyone else have to click download before they receive an MMS. LOL!!!

thanks let me try a few combinations
What you have to do is first reset defaults for text messages under Samsungs text app. Now go to handcent and turn off notifications. Now next time you get text click the one notification you got. It should ask you what app you want to use to open it. Default it to handcent. You now only have one notification. It's a crappy workaround but its the only thing that works. You can try to uninstall twizmms but usually that causes more problems then it solves
If my ways don't work i'd say try psychoace's idea...it sounds like it'll work.
And I guess if ur like acjones you might want the auto retrieve off (maybe high schooler with lady friends...?) But for those of us without an issue its just an extra step, and has nothing to do with the notification tones

Stock Message Vibrate

Ok, I know it should be easy.. but how the hell do i turn off the vibrate function with the stock message app? tried going through the menu and no option there...
it's driving me a bit potty... any help?
Do you mean the vibration you get when writing a message or when you recieve a message?
I can't give you a direct answer as I don't have the phone yet, however if there isn't a setting that enables you to remove the vibration, I used an application on the marketplace called Streak Vibrations (requires root) that globally disables and enables vibration on the phone. Worked wonders on my old Atrix.

when receiving a message
I believe that you just have to disable the vibration for notifications to disable it for the message app. Running stock I do not believe that you can pick and choose what notifications get to vibrate. More of an all or nothing type deal.
Now if you root thats a different story, not to mention once some custom roms start rolling out
Settings > Sound > under general, select Vibration then select never. Vibration alerts will still work for Gmail notifications if you have it set that way in the Gmail app.

[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.

[Q] Vibrate on new text msg when vibration is on ONLY in Sound Settings

Just shifted to Android 4.3 on a Nexus 4 after years of using Symbian. Learning loads of stuff and loving most of it.
However there is one thing that I sorely miss:- The ability to control sound and vibration notifications through "Profiles". I installed a nifty little app called 'Settings Extended' with which I can control these notifications quite easily.
The problem is that these settings seem to apply only to Calls and not Text messages.
First off, I have kept the vibration notification 'unchecked' in the stock messaging app because I don't want it to vibrate everytime I receive a text.
Next I change the Sound Settings to enable both sound and vibration notification. Here I expect the phone to Ring+Vibrate for both Calls and Text messages..just like in Nokia phones. Sadly this does not happen apparently because vibration is OFF in the stock messaging app.
So now I'm in a fix. If I enable vibration in the messaging app, the phone will vibrate for new texts even when I don't want it to and on disabling it I run the risk of missing the notification sound or blinking LEDs for that matter.
I have tried 3rd party apps like GoSMS and Handcent where they have an additional feature to enable vibration notification for text messages only when "Phone is set to Vibrate". The problem here is that the phone should be in "Vibration mode" i.e only vibration is enabled and sound is disabled for the app to give a vibration notification on new messages. When both sound and vibration are enabled under Sound settings, no vibration notification is produced.
This is really bugging me. Seems unnecessary complication of simple tasks to me. I have searched the net for a solution and although have found few people having the same problem, I haven't come across a solution yet. So now I turn to XDA because I know that if a solution exists, it can only be found here.
Thnaks to anyone who had the patience to go through this post!
