SMS Vibrate

Has anyone noticed that when set to vibrate mode, when an SMS is recieved it vibrates for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time?
I have found that you can change the vibrate length for calls, but none of this seems to work for sms's.
Anyone know of a way to shorten the length of the sms vibrate?
Also, reading the text doesn't cancel the vibrate, is there a way to fix this instead of/as well as the above?
Regards,
Chris

You could take a look at pocketmax's Phone Alarm is this takes over all notifications regarding SMS/Emails/Voice and Missed calls.
Not sure if it solves the looonnnnng vibrate issue though.

nah i cant see that pocketmax's Phone Alarm allows you to change the duration or the vibrate.

Who fancies a challenge?

Hi,
I've asked a question on here before about whether the vibration of the phone during calls and sms messages can be altered to a pulse rather than constant. I've figured out that the phone is capable of having a pulse vibrate so can anyone on here get it to work how I would like?
If I can into settings>sound and display>notification sounds>new message and where it says vibrate set the slider to "only", whenever I get a message the vibration pulses, but the only trouble is I don't get any sound. If I set the slider to "on" I get sound when a message comes in, but the vibrate is constant, and if you have a long sms alert it's a little annoying.
Can someone figure out how to change it so you get both sound, and pulsing vibrate? Can this also be done for incoming calls, and email alerts?
Cheers, Toby

Pretty sure thats hardcoded, either in the messaging-app itself or in a component it uses
Have you checked the registry for anything that might be of use?

Unfortunately that's a bit out of my depth, which is why I've asked on here

Vibrates too much!!!

Hi guys,
Is there a way to chill out the vibration on this phone?
Everytime I receive an email or I get an appointment reminder, the phone vibrates for like two seconds.
It should just chill out and give me a short vibrate.
I have managed to tone down the vibration on SMS using SMS popup but appointments and emails are still hyper.

Menu > Settings > Sound there you will find Vibration as well as Vibration intensity.

He's obviously not talking about the haptic feedback.
Noticed that as well. Any notification vibrates so long you think it's a call.

Been looking at this, using Handcent has let me change the text vibrate pattern but nothing for emails. I've read that people have used tasker to do it instead.

I set vibro and sound off for all apps that use notifications, because I do not need to feel them - I use the notifications whenever I view the screen.
I think the length of vibro MAY depend on the length of the SOUND tone you set for specific notifications? like it was with old dumb phones? Try picking a shorter sound.

Just put it in your pocket and smile all day long .

[Q] Is it possible to have vibrate on for ringtone and off for notification?

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?

[Q] App to set custom notification vibration?

I find that some alerts don't vibrate at all or I'd like them to vibrate with greater intensity/repetition. Anyone find an app to set per-alert vibration settings? If not, someone smart make it please.

How will this work if you get multiple notifications at once how will 2 vibrations for one notification differ from 2 vibrations for 2 notifications ?
