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

Text messaging notification volume issue

I noticed a very annoying problem with this phone. When ever I set a tone for my messaging app the tone would play very loud and clear when I test it but when I actually get a text the volume drops by like 50%. I thought it was a problem with handcent but this happens when I use the default app too.

There is a separate notification volume in the sound menu. When testing, it uses your main volume and not the notification volume. Just go in and bump it up.

I did that before I put this post up still no dice

Yea it's a glitch on all Epic's. I actually called Samsung about this issue and they were clueless... Smh!

System volume

I've noticed no matter how many times I adjust my system volume it goes back to max every so often..anyone know why? Does it do it with me adjusting ringtone volume with the hard key or is it a bug? Happens on my fathers fascinate too

The same thing happens to me. I ended up just disabling it all together by unchecking "audible selection" in settings --> sound & display.

So I just noticed..

In ec05 that you can change the call log and choose what to show by pressing menu
The didn't have this option in eb13 and I only noticed it cuz I sent a text and went to call my friend and didn't see a red arrow.
This means samsung actually listens to feedback...
If ed12 is really gb, then it shows they're really changing compared to last year

i thought this has always been an option

I can change what I want to show on EB13, but I can only pick specific filters: 'Missed calls', 'Dialed calls', 'Received calls', 'Sent messages', or 'Received messages'. No way to pick just phone calls with messages... Is this different from the ED12 menu options?

Its been there since DK28.
Do you BONSAI?

yeah it was a useless filter in DK28 and is a useless filter now. they listened to nothing

[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
