Phone wont vibrate for text messages

I did a search of the forums and found 2 post without any solution to this problem. It started happening today to me and I've tried almost everything to make it work, i dont want to resort to a hard reset. Does anyone know how to solve this? My vibrate motors work fine as I just reverted back from an HTC Magic Port and my messages were vibrating perfectly fine.

Bump Still searching, found info that suggest a reboot removes this or setting the volume all the way down to silent then to vibrate would force it to fix itself. My G1 Still is not vibrating but the engine is perfectly fine because I keep testing it with a Magic Rom (H5.0.2).

Well, the obvious question is, have you gone into the messaging app and set it to vibrate?

Done all the sets already to properly troubleshoot the problem. Deleted any program having to do with calls and sms and still nothing.

Well then the only thing left is a factory reset. Once thats done make sure to go back into the messaging app and set it to vibrate.
If that doesnt fix it and you are running a rooted phone then reflash whatever firmware you are running.

An actual answer!
I had the same problem as you... i just got my phone yesterday, and I've been trying to get it to vibrate... and finally i found out how to! Go into messaging app (if a thread is open, click the MENU button press "more" then "all threads"); click the MENU button; press "settings"; at the very bottom of the list press "vibrate".

Tap on message does not open a message

Hi,
I have a strange problem with HD2 that appeared with no reason. When I tap on e-mail message from HTC Sense - nothing happens. Previously, when I tap on message, the message opens. It works on text messages, but not on e-mails. I did a hard reset, and it worked for several minutes, and then stopped again. I did not install anything.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Unless I'm mistaken, this is a known problem that (strangely) ties in to the lock screen not working properly. Go figure!
Open the windows start menu and select lock (bottom left softkey). Then unlock the phone. Once you've done that, you should be able to open email messages by tapping on them in the Sense UI.
There's a tweak in BsB Tweaks that is supposed to fix the lock screen issue, but it hasn't 100% fixed it for me. I just get it less. When I do, I do what I just suggested to you and it's okay again.
I'm sure that HTC will want to fix this at some point. Wait for the 4.01 ROM for that. (That was a joke - don't actually wait for the 4.01 ROM)

Thanks man, I just tried and it works! Yes, I have noticed that HD2 does not lock every time, but I didn't know that it has anything to do with this problem. Thanks again!

Like I said - go figure! I've been developing software for a loooooong time, and I can't fathom why these 2 things are connected, but they obviously are!
Glad you sorted it mate

[Q] Keypad stopped responding

I am using google nexus4 that is not rooted. When I try to type something the keypad is not responding. It gives the message that unfortunately keypad has stopped responding. And gives the options to close it or wait. After selecting The option ok for close it takes to the next page either to report or don't send. But nothing happens after that. It is still not responding. Tried installing go keyboard but that is also not responding. Otherwise touch screen responds properly except for the keyboard. Could anyone help me in solving the problem?

Are you rooted, not rooted. You definitely need a lot more information.

Thanks for your concern. Mine was a non rooted phone that i have already mentioned,. Got it rectified. When checked the option in Settings - Apps - All - Download Manager was disabled. Once i enabled it the problem was solved. But don't know whats the relation between the keyboard and this setting.

Aryamod 7.2 problems

I have 2 problems with the ROM that I can't find a fix for:
1) I can't open the action memo. I press it and nothing happens. If I manually go in s note and acces the memos from there it closes the app as well, all of a sudden without any error or notice message.
I can write the memos from the air command but the little pin button that makes the notes into little widgets on the screen is also gone. I just reflashed the ROM again and the problem persists.
2)This is more of a question then a problem. In lockscreen or when I pull down the notification there are those informations about the phone, model number battery and so on. Is there anyway I can turn that off?
Many thanks in advance!

you didnt find answer in the ROM thread?

Notification Problem

Hello Everybody
My P8 Lite Don't give me notification unless i open apps like whatsapp and viber and i marked show notification for them
any help please

You said, you've got the notification enabled for those apps, so there's only one thing that can cause problem, like this.
Go to your Settings > Power saving, then scroll down, and check the Protected apps menu.
Checked means it can run even if the screen is off.
Report back if it's worked for you, please.

Thx Man It Works For Me

I have whatsapp checked and I dont recieve the notifications, it is sudden.. I have to reset the phone.
It works fine and suddenly stops.
thks

same as @manuz89, if i reboot the phone it works but a few minutes later its bad again
i already have "normal" preset in battery settings, whatsapp its protected and all notification toggles are ON
im clearing cache right now and if it dont work i'll factory reset the phone

All other apps works properly, I think is a compatibility problem between Whatsapp and P8lite. Don't think factory reset will work

Before this phone, I had a S3 Mini, and that phone also had notification issues with WhatsApp...Maybe it's the app, not the phone

kitkat was fine, its the lollipop version with the problem.

But does this happen to everyone? Do you think someone will have an answer soon or we should just go back to kitkat.?
Thks

try changing your power mode to Normal, in case Smart is turning off a connection somewhere

Notification problem
I have the same problem - no notifications for whatsapp. All settings are correct. I.e. Notifications is allowed, power saving is normal, Whatsapp is protected. What else can I try? If I reset to factory will it delete all my photos etc?

No need factory reset. Anyway notifications of Viber(may be Whatsapp) do not work on this phone. You can easy resolve this bug with Light Flow - LED&Notifications. I use this method and work great!

unfortunately that app is not free. is there any other solutions. i did all those mentioned above including locking the app in the recent app tray. still, the problem persists. previously i used a xiaomi phone, it still had notifications although delayed for minutes

hi
just go to setting/screen lock& passwords/ screen lock style / and change it to default(magazine).
then you will see ( notification panel &notification turn on screen......) it will save the problem.
note : after you can change your lock screen picture and choose from your gallery.

Solved

Enable background data for Google Play Services app and allow notifications as well for this app.
