Im not sure what is up with vibrate, i used to be able to have the aria vibrate once i recive a text. I had it set through messages and smspopup but now it just wont vibrate when i get a text. Its weird because haptic feedback works and i also installed vibrating apps lol some weird apps out there but at any rate the vibrating worked for that.... anyone else experiencing this?
Download Sound Manager from the market. When you open up the app, hit menu and vibrate settings. Then under notification settings, select vibrate whenever possible.

Hi,
I luv my legend, but I have some very strange bugs.
- SMS does not vibrate in vibration mode
- call waiting does not alert so I never hear in coming call when in a conversation
- problems with call notification, it does not ring sometimes, even when in normal ring mode
Any idea guys?

for sms, in settings keep vibrate checked, then install sound manager and control vibrate mode from there, it'll work again. From the app under vibrate settings you can then also create a shortcut to vibrate settings so you can directly access it without having to open the app
when i have my phone on vibrate it does so with calls but not on texts even though i turned on the option under the settings for texts. i also tried audiomanager which doesnt seem to work either.
anyone else having this problem and is there a way to fix it?
Annoying as it is, the vibrate for incoming texts is controlled separately from the ringer volume. Meaning that if you turn on vibrate, it will always vibrate even if your phone isn't set to vibrate.
Menu -> Settings -> Vibrate from the text thread list.
My solution is to use the Tasker app to vibrate the phone when I receive a text on the condition that variable %SILENT = vibrate.
What I'm trying to say is that even when I go to settings and vibrate under text menu it doesn't vibrate on texts. I may give that app a try.

I started having this problem a few days ago and just solved it. I'm using Handcent for SMS, and even though my phone was set to vibrate, and Handcent notifications were set to vibrate, suddenly all of my notifications (Handcent and otherwise) stopped vibrating. Vibrate still worked on calls. I simply downloaded the free app "Sound Manager" from the Market and went to Vibrate from the Menu. For some reason Vibrate for Notifications was set to "Never". Not sure how, since I don't think there's a setting for this in the stock settings on the Epic, but I changed it and now vibrate works on all notifications again.
To me this is easier than setting something up in Tasker (though Tasker is way cool).
Sweet! Thanks so much its finally working now...

Hello everyone,
Whenever I get a new email in my Gmail box, my phone vibrates when in Vibrate Mode. But in Gmail options, I have vibration on new emails explicitly disabled. It seems the phone itself is overriding that setting. How can I get this to stop?
I don't want all vibrations in Vibrate Mode disabled though. I would still like my phone to vibrate for incoming text messages, but not for emails.

To my knowledge, what vibrate mode does is take all audible notifications and make them vibrate. That being said, if you have any notification on for your gmail, it will then vibrate when you get an email.

Hmm, makes sense I suppose, though it's not the best way to handle the scenario. If you have vibration for a notification specifically turned off, then the phone shouldn't take it upon itself to add a vibration to it just because the phone is in Vibrate Mode. I guess I'm just used to the more intelligent way Cyanogenmod does it where it provides an option to turn off vibration during a notification if has already been turned off in the app itself.
I am waiting VERY patiently for Cyanogenmod nightlies for this phone...
Yeah, well it's just over 3 weeks until this phone will be liberated as it should have been released originally! Until then, you could try playing around with a 3rd party app for sounds, etc. I don't have any to suggest unfortunately, because I don't use them, but it's just a thought.
What mcmb03 states seems true and definitely applying in Gmail app's case. I can only get it to stop vibration notification (when phone is set to vibrate mode) if I completely turn off the (or uncheck) Label notifications from my Gmail account settings.
Bug?
Either way, I sent feedback via the "Send feedback" option within the app. Fingers crossed I'm not the only one who has reported this "issue" to them and they will correct the Vibrate check function to override device/system setting.

I have my Gmail inbox set to the settings shown in my screenshot. I tested to confirm for you, these settings - mine does not vibrate when phone is in vibrate mode because it is unchecked.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gmail app?
Well, I somewhat lied. I received upwards of 15 emails when in vibrate mode with "vibrate" unchecked and it did not vibrate. However, I have just received a couple shortly after posting and my phone DID vibrate... Odd...
EDIT: The emails to my Gmail app i received while my phone was in Vibrate mode with the vibrate feature DISABLED, those emails were sent to me with high priority, they were not a regular email. Just a note. Still weird.
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!
The volume control and vibration control on this phone is much less customizable than I would like.
Vibration mode turns everything to vibrate, but I get vibration notifications for emails as well as text and everything else. I would like it just to vibrate for ringtones and text if possible.
On my old phone I was able to turn off vibration for notifications and leave my gosms to do the vibration for the text, but it seems like there is no way to turn off vibration for notifications and leave it on for ringtone on this phone.
Has anyone found a way to turn the vibration for notifications OFF in vibration mode? While still leaving vibration ON for ringtones?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

settings>sound> go to the samsung applications section, you can adjust everything individually there... call, messages, email, calander
Yeah try this man like what evil posted settings>sound> go to the samsung applications section, you can adjust everything individually there... call, messages, email, calander
does this allow me to have diff settings for different profiles? I want the sound off for everything but vibrate on for everything but only when set to VIBRATE mode, but when I change to Sound mode, I dont want any notification to vibrate and I want sounds to play for everything, can I do that without having to go into each individualapp setting and changing it?

I tried this but it still vibrates when I receive an email. I'm using Gmail and have the setting for vibrate off in the Gmail app. Does anyone know a secondary app that can control all the notifications other than light flow? I'd even use something like that to fix it. I just want it to vibrate for phone calls when in vibrate mode. Have you guys been able to turn off other vibrations with the method suggested?
