Vibrate mode, no vibe for txt?

[mike pertz]

Had the phone on vribrate mode and it does nothing when you recieve a txt, only the led blinks. Also noticed it does not vibrate when in regular mode and the vibration setting on.

Go to Messages - Menu - Settings

Then scroll down to "Received Messages"

There you will find notification options specific to SMS/MMS

Hi Mike,

I think that you may be suffering from a similar problem others had suffered including I. Hopefully this will help

I FOUND THE FIX.

It requires the third party app HOWEVER you don't need to keep it.

Go to the market and download an app called "Sound Manager" by Daniel Roozen.

Once downloaded, launch the app, press menu, go to vibrate settings and there should be two options.

BOTH should be onto vibrate whenever possible. The bottom one was set to don't vibrate and was most likely set by another app I had previously downloaded.

My phone now vibrates when it should be.

No problem! Hah, yeah I agree. I feel like some apps have this effect on this untouchable vibrate setting via the android settings and it should definitely be fixed.

I had installed TIMERIFFIC to automate my sounds and I think that's what messed up this setting. I'm just going to leave the app installed because it has a scheduler as well. I think I will use it.

Crazy, about a week in, I had this same problem. I ended up doing a factory reset which solved the problem. It was just a huge hassle.

Same here I had the same problem and a master reset took care of the problem.

Just to throw my two cents in, you can also do this with Handcent. It's an app that takes place of the native messaging app but has a lot more features including the vibration feature asked for. The main feature I like is that it opens my text messages threads quickly that have a lot of messages in them.

For example, my girlfriend texts me constantly and I have a thread of >2000 messages. It took a long time to open in the native app. Handcent opens instantly.
