Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding the Legend's vibrator.
First of all, I would like it to vibrate when receiving a SMS only when in vibration mode. So far, all I can find in the settings is the option to either vibrate or not, no matter what profile is used. Am I missing something, or do I need an app that has further settings?
Second, I think the vibrator is a bit loud, and would love to be able to set the intensity. The first day after I bought my Legend, I was in a meeting with just two other people in a small office, and when my phone rang (vibrated) it attracted quite some attention because it was so loud. Again, am I missing where to change this, or do I need an app?
I tried searching the Market for an app to control vibration settings to address both or even just one of these issues, but didn't find anything useful. The closest was Smart Vibrator, which lets me compose vibration patterns for SMS as well as calls, which could solve issue #2 by doing a pattern of very brief vibrations - but it's still not exactly what I am looking for. Have anyone come across something more useful?

How are others finding the vibrate function? Good? Bad? Weak? Strong?
Coming from a Palm Pre, one of the frustrating aspects was a weak vibrator; causing me to miss notifications of calls, txts, emails, etc.
On the 2.2 roms the bluetooth now triggers my notification sound when connecting and disconnecting. Is there a fix to kill that undesired new feature in the 2.2 roms?
Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA app.
I would also like to know a fix for this. It's really annoying every time I get into my car and out of my car, the phone notifies me of bluetooth connect/disconnect and I am tempted to check if it was a text or the bluetooth.
There's a workaround, but it's kinda irritating... Set the default notification sound to "Silent" then set the various apps you want to notify you to something else. I only really care about GV, MMS, Gmail, and Gtalk, so it's not much. For people with a lot of them it would get annoying fast.
That's actually not irritating for me because the only notification I need is SMS. Thanks man!!
Thanks, that's awesome!

It worked perfectly today. Got text message notification but none of that annoying bluetooth connect/disconnect
I want to buy an Omnia 7, but I think I will miss a notification LED for incoming SMS and missed calls.
Is there an app available?
Not sure how an app will replace an led. What do you mean?
the device has lights right and left of the windows logo.
Right now theres nothing like it. If there was that would be a homebrew solution.
Something new here?
You need a LED?
I have an omnia 7 and it works great, never missed calls or texts except when my phone was muted in my pocket. But you will recognize calls and all notifications, your mobile will make a sound, the display will turn on if its not in your pocket or something like that. And you will see little icons on the lockscreen that show you the number of mails, phone calls and texts..
Ever since the Feb security update my 6P has made some interesting sounds undisturbed. I'm completely stock, have never rooted and update when updates are available. First phone I haven't rooted actually. I do where a fitbit and have fitbit notifications turned on, but that just means when the phone rings the fitbit vibrates and the number scrolls across the fitbit led. That's the extent of fitbit's notifications. So in the last week the phone whether in my pocket or sitting on the desk will make a random sound for a variety of notifications (I have about 15 different sounds for emails, texts, ect.) but there will be no new notification. Noise for nothing. On occasion, the phone has even vibrated and on at least 2 occasions that I can remember, the phone started to ring and stopped just as quickly........and I know i'm not imagining it as my fitbit also vibrated like a phone call should make it, but no number popped up and no missed call the phone. All very strange and all since the last update. Anyone else getting phantom notification sounds?
The notification flood sounds like the phone waking up from Doze, but it shouldn't do it if it's in your pocket. Additionally, phone calls should come through as normal. I don't think the Fitbit would be the issue (I have one, but not a wristband with notifications, just a Fitbit One that I keep in my pocket), but I also don't use any notification sounds. I get vibrate for text messages only if the screen is off, and I have a ringtone. All other notifications are silent.
Hi, I thought Sidelight would do the trick, and it works great, EXCEPT for the fact that it only alerts once and then stops. Often I'm out of the work vehicle and I won't see that notification alert and will end up not knowing anything came through.
Is there an alternative option for this phone that will simply give a recurring visual alert on the screen for calls and texts that I've missed?
