Froyo, no SMS vibration - Nexus One General

Hi,
I've been using CM (lastest) on my N1. Now that Froyo is out I reverted to stock, applied Froyo, and CM's quickroot patch.
I set vibration to always in Settings -> Sounds.
The same in the Messaging application, it's set to vibrate always.
Unfortunately when I receive an SMS I don't get vibration at all, which is not nice.
Is this a bug, or do you guys know what might solve it?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. It doesn't seem to vibrate for e-mails either which is rather frustrating
edit: nvm, i didn't check the settings lol ><

get sound manager from the market. install it, open it, hit menu>vibrate settings. set whatever you want. that is what fixed it for me when i was having similar problems on eclair

Phone Settings and Reminder settings not sticking

All of a sudden, my XDA no longer saves settings for my phone or for reminders. For example, I have to constantly change my ringer to Vibrate and Ring, then (after a reboot I'm assuming) it changes back to just Ring.
For reminders, Flash Light and Play Sound (one of the most important things!) have to keep getting rechecked after a reboot. I'd rather not rebuild as I have a LOT of apps on this device.
Does anyone know of reg settings or any other way to get this to stop resetting?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Im having the same problem i think!
My phone keeps vibrating without playing a ringtone, even though its set to "Vibrate and ring".
it's like its always on "vibrate mode", no matter what i try to do.
what rom are you using??
I am using the O2 ROM upgrade straight from their site. It was fine for the longest time; just noticed it about a week ago.
It could be something in your notification queue, this is the cause of most alarm/reminder/profile problems. I recently posted a long and detailed HOWTO for anyone that needs to fix or just spring clean their notification queue, check it out:

SMS Notifications don't Vibrate

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!

it happened to me once .. I did a Clear Storage (aka Hard Reset) via fastboot (hold down volume + power) and it WORKED.

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

Default notifications sounds and vibrate

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

Still no vibration on sms notification (HyperDroid CM7)

I originally posted this in the HyperDroid CM7 thread but I think it might be better here.
I have little problem with my install and I'm not even sure if it's related to that rom or CM7 or me... When I put my phone on vibrate, it will only vibrate when I get a call, it won't vibrate for SMS and notifications in general.
I have set Messaging > Settings > Notification Settings > Vibrate > Always
I also set Settings > Sounds > Vibrate > Always
Still no dice. Any ideas?
the Profiles maybe?... last time I tried, I ended up getting a notification sound from SetCPU notification on Screen On/Off and it was extremely annoying lol
I'll try again and report but feel free to chime in if you have a suggestion
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that I have played with the default profile since that post and set every app group to Vibrate 'On' but it still doesn't work.
I keep looking online but the 2 answers that seem to fix the problem don't work for me (the Messaging app settings and the Profile settings)
I also remember reading that the vibrate pattern had to be set to a particular pattern to work but I can't find that info again.
Any ideas?

Edit:
Workaround: I grabbed Sound Manager v2 from the market > Vibrate settings and it works
I have the same issue... Have you resolved it??
Cheers
It works now that I used Sound Manager from the market.

[Q] Vibrate While On a Call

Sorry if this has been solved, I tried searching to no avail.
I get this terrible vibration while I'm on a phone call and I receive a SMS, I use GO SMS, rooted and on the Alien ROM. I had the same problem unrooted and stock ROM.
Anyone know how to get rid of it? the only solution I've seemed to find is turning off vibration completely for SMS which I don't want to do.
Thanks ahead of time!
Hmm in CM7 you click on text app then press menu key the go to setting then notification settings then uncheck vibrate during call. Not sure if that's a CM7 feature only at the moment but worth a try
