I'm currently having some issues with vibrating alerts for when i receive a new text message. I've googled it and found a suggestion somewhere that downloading Sound Manager from the marketplace would fix it, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Is this an issue with the ROM i'm using or is this a known issue with android that hasn't been fixed, i'm certain it isn't a hardware issue because if i hold the volume down to go into silent it vibrates.
Cheers
have you try messaging and then settings and then notification setting in there you
are going to find vibrate settings

Hi,
As the title thread suggests, I am no longer recieving sound or vibration notifications for SMS or emails. I do not recall changing anything recently to cause this issue as I am now (was) happy with my setup etc.
I am on the 1.43 WWE O2 Rom, with SMS, Camera and SD card updates.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S. I did search the forum, and yielded no useful information.
First hing I would suggest is to check you sound settings, if you've changed your ringtone volume for example this can also change your sms alert volume. Also check the settings for your message notification in you settings menu. Other than that it might be a software problem, in which case I'm no use to you.
Thanks for the response. One thing I have noticed is that I am using G-Profile to manage my system and ring volume in different environments (work and home for example). When using the volume rocker, the volumes adhere to the G-profile settings, however now for some reason, within settings, a different configuration is revealed...
UPDATE: Uninstalled G-profile and Windows settings adhere to volume set by volume rocker, but still no sound or vibration when recieving messages. Just to confirm, all is fine when recieving voices calls.

Sorry, I've not used G-profile so can't help. I'm sure someone else on here will be able to help you more
Any body else experiencing this issue? I dont want to have to hard reset.
Thanks.
HI,
I have found the issue to my stated problem. For some reason the HTC Sense "alert" sounds and vibrations are not playing. If I go into Manila and set it up using an old WM message tone, it works fine.
Any idea why my message alerts would become corrupted?
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.
My legend is running froyo and I have an issue with the sound notifications when I receive texts.
I do not want sounds when I receive a text. So I went to settings in the messaging app and disabled sounds. But I still continue to get sounds. I've had to mute notifications for now. I am not able to turn off vibration either.
It's like its linked to the main notification settings.
Help please ?

Okay i managed to fix that issue.
notifications working as i choose them to now.
But one thing still bothers.
i have a prepaid connection. my service provider sends me my remaining credit notifications after every text i send.
and i receive those messages with a sound, which is dependant upon the ringtone volume i think.
any way to turn THAT sound off?
I looked everywhere for this and haven't seen anything.
If I set the entire phone to vibrate mode, incoming SMS won't vibrate.
Phone calls, email, all vibrate. SMS does not.
They only way I can get incoming SMS to vibrate is by setting SMS to "Also vibrate when notified"
The problem with this: Then SMS vibrates all the time, where phone is in vibrate or has sound on.
How do I set the SMS to only vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate?
I haven't found a way to do what you are requesting as of yet. Google took this away with the JB update I believe. However CM has an option in setting called profiles that will do this for you when properly set up. If you find something let us know I'd be interested.

There has to be some way around this, without the need to use a 3rd party sms app. I like the stock messaging app, but don't care for no vibration or vibrate all the time.
I also have an issue where the screen doesn't actually come on when sms is received, but I see a number of people on Sprint have that problem.
If I can find anything, I will post back. Hope to check some more tonight when I get off work.
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!
