Phone won't vibrate

[drjosh]

All the settings are correct. Vibrate for everything. However, the phone stopped vibrating. Not only will it not vibrate when the sound is on, it also will not vibrate when it's on Vibrate Only mode. Anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it??

Thanks

1. try soft reset.
2. try Sound Manager - Sound Manager - Android app on AppBrain
3. last resort - factory reset. (back up your data first obviously).

good luck!

You could also try an apply called "quick settings"

Thanks for the suggestions. I just discovered that this only seems to be a problem for text messages. The phone vibrates for phone calls just fine. It was vibrating for text messages 2-3 days ago - then I turned off vibrate for texts only and have been unable to get it back. I tried the soft reset, but I don't think I want to resort to a hard reset. Surely there is a way to fix this without installing applications. Any other ideas?

Thanks

I know you said you didnt want to add another application, but really handcent is the best text messaging application for android IMO. You can control how long/short, how many vibration, etc that you want your phone to vibrate.

As to your problem, dont know any other way to get vibration back, besides hard resetting. Or trying changing your phone to original android, provided you didnt do the new update, then change back to sense.
