    Text & Notification Vibration not strong enough, Samsung Galaxy Note 3

    Yes for a day or so, then it got erratic so uninstalled it. Installed GoSMS; so far so good..... I had a client in the office Thursday with a AT&T Note 3, so we tried it on his device. It would not vibrate for SMS messages either.

    Text & Notification Vibration not strong enough, Samsung Galaxy Note 3

    Update: Samsung, on their Tech Support page on Facebook, now says that the ability to change the vibration pattern for SMS messaging is NOT available for the Note 3 (even though it is in the S4), because "features do change from device to device" and will forward my comments upstairs "for...

    Text & Notification Vibration not strong enough, Samsung Galaxy Note 3

    I did. I downloaded the trial version and it worked great. Then I bought it and downloaded the paid version, and it has not worked right since so sadly uninstalled it. I've installed, and uninstalled, both the trial and paid versions several times with no luck. In their defense, customer...

    Text & Notification Vibration not strong enough, Samsung Galaxy Note 3

    I just got my Note 3 the other day and have the same issue. Verizon, Best Buy, and the Samsung rep at Best Buy (even after calling tech support at Samsung) cannot solve it. Being hearing-impaired, the vibration feature is important to me. In the "Messages" settings, under "More", the...
