Have you checked both Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications and also Settings tab in TF3D/Sound?

Nope, no problem here. Using Dutty's 2.3 (v2). Did you try a soft reset. Works wonders sometimes.

had the same problem with some ROMs (Duttys 1.9, 2.0, 2.1)
never found the real cause of it, but it disappeared with Duttys 2.2 and 2.3

Why my thread got closed??

Why my thread got closed I wana know how to make x10 vibrate and ring at sametime when receiving a call.
because unless there is something lost in the translation, it is VERY obvious that the phone can vibrate and ring at same time. its a basic function of the phone. is that not what you meant?

easy go to settings>>sound & display>>phone vibrate !!!
I did that and put the phone on loud volume when I received call only ringtone no vibrate
..... this is even worse than all those FroYo and MT queations..
Check the phone manuals dood, or lurk on the phone's setting..

...or, when it rings, shake it violently to simulate the vibration.

Honestly I don't know why people are assuming you don't know what you're doing, I think it's safe to say you know how the settings on your phone work, after all you are posting on XDA so one would think you're tech savvy enough to know how to enable vibrate and ring...despite the large number of morons on here nowadays.
What I'm getting at is I'm experiencing a similar problem myself. Only my phone no longer vibrates when I receive messages. It will vibrate and ring for incoming calls but only ring and no longer vibrate for sms. I never changed anything, it just stopped working properly about 2 weeks ago and I was hoping the problem would solve itself, sadly it hasn't yet. I've double checked every setting, uninstalled and reinstalled different apps and have emailed Handcent about the issue, no solution so far.
Also, when I go to the notification settings in Handcent and "test notification" it never vibrates now, regardless of the vibration pattern I select.
Any real help other than unfunny childish smartass comments would be appreciated, for both of us I think.

I dont think they are childish comments, but the comments are assuming a lack of technical ability
What troubleshooting have you done? What (apart from uninstalling apps and changing settings) have you done at all? Have you thought that your phone may be broken?
Chances are that if it is failing at vibrate, then no amount of software tweaks or 3rd party apps can fix a hardware fault. TEST IT using the service menu.
(Lock screen - Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back) Service tests => Vibrator. If your phone does not vibrate, then you have a problem. If it does vibrate then go back and check all your settings again - factory restore if required!

How can we assume that the user has any technical skill when this is what was written. If you have an issue, please give a decent outline of what it is (like RVICTORG has done) and the other users can probably see where you are going wrong. "Its not working" does not help anyone.

Dude, have a look at some of the threads he/she has started, it seems they start threads just for the sake of it, and I've come across the same behaviour on other forums from them.
I got it figured out people are nice at Android forums to answer my question and not laugh at . And I do search before I post

People are nice here too, but we get a lot of trolls, questions asked 1000 times and people who don't search before posting... so yeah, we're a little short tempered as well...

No I haven't looked at any of his other threads, and believe me I know there's a lot of idiots on this forum nowadays, but I guess benefit of the doubt before harsh words :S Doesn't matter now, he solved his problem but I haven't resolved mine.
Like I said in my earlier post, my phone will vibrate for incoming calls, just not messages any more. The service test was one of the first things I did and I can confirm my phone will still vibrate. I have absolutely no idea why it's not for messages and I feel like I've exhausted all possible solutions barring re-flashing firmware. I haven't received a response from Handsent yet, based on that and no others commenting here I assume this is just an annoying isolated incident.
Will update if I find a solution. Thanks for your suggestions guys despite me having already trying them it's still appreciated and if you think of anything else let me know, peace.

Ummm..... So, you figured out the solution to your problem, and all you say is "it's good now'', and don't share HOW you fixed it? Come on, dude!
You started this thread because you had a problem. Now that you found the solution, it is only logical that you post the solution as well. This way, other readers that have the same problem can get help too! I'm sure RVICTORG would like to know what you had to do!
@rvictorg -- have you tried the standard messaging app?? does it work on that?

Yeah I tried turning on notifications for the standard app and no vibrating, just audio and visual alerts. :S Thanks though. I'm thinking I may just have to uninstall/re-install Handcent to see if that helps.

so does your phone vibrate at all now? what were the results of the vibrate test in the service menu?

I am at wits end....

Typically i don't ask for help but this time i'm going to throw it out there.
Every time i receive a SMS message my phone reads it out loud. Like "text message from 134-123-7654, _____________" no alert no nothing just reads it out loud.
I do not have "talk back", or "sound back" installed on my phone. And i've fixed permission and verified all of the settings under the SMS app and "voice input/output" in the main menu....
any other ideas.

1) What SMS app are you using?
2) Don't tell your friends about this problem or you are certain to get 100 ill timed text messages that say things like "I love gay porn!" and "Man, it sure is roomy in these pants!"
Off hand my first guess is to completely uninstall the SMS app, make sure all the directories that save settings are deleted too, and reinstall. That's the first thing I'd do. If that doesn't work....I dunno....call a priest for an exorcism?

1) stock SMS app,

Yea i might try to reinstall the OS and see if that fixes my problem.

do you have any apps installed like vlingo, genius or anything else similar?

nope. The only thing i can think of is i installed that new cluzee app, the Siri knockoff.
Edit :
I think i may of found the problem. There is a "cluzee reader" setting that is on by default. I turned it off, i'll see what happens.
Doing a fresh ROM install or even reverting back to a working save are guaranteed fixes. I figured you'd rather not have to reset everything though.
I'd bet the cluzee setting you found fixes it though.
agg! this started happening to me yesterday... i did recently install cluzee and llama, but last i looked the "reader" was set to "off" in cluzee.... and none of my "accessability" things are trned on..... i see that unsder <settings><voice input and output> under output that pico TTS is installed but "always use my settings" box is unchecked.... really annoying at work when i get a text.... thank goodness it wasnt a personal message or what not... aside from reloading everything - is there any other settign i should check. im useing the factory "messaging" app on my MTS4G...

So thankful I found this thread. I was getting tired of missing texts and other notifications due to the volume being crazy low. All better now. It's ridiculous for Lollipop to not have a setting to adjust this. Why would they do that? Other devices I have had have that adjustment, and of course I would always just turn it off. Very surprised Lollipop doesn't come with this adjustment and Motorola didn't see fit to have something of their own to correct it.
So I have noticed that this audio config tweak stops working sometimes. I have to reboot my phone then the audio is working again and not ascending. Not sure what is causing it to occur but it's happened twice now. As soon as I reboot, everything is good to go again.

Silence Issue

After upgrading to Oreo i have been having a issue with my phone randomly unsilencing. I though it was an app i downloaded but i checked all notification settings i could think of and it hasn't help. I also had the app prior to Oreo and i don't seem to remember it having this issue. Anybody else seeing this? Is there a way to see a log of what changes the sound volume?

You could use the app called matlog and run it and when it happens you can pause the log capture and upload it as a text file. I'm not great at reading logs but there are many forums that could help you out all over XDA.
