Phone does not vibrate on incoming text messages (solved) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried everything and still cant get it to vibrate on incoming text messages. (It does vibrate on incoming call)
settings/sound & display/Phone vibrate (checked)
messaging/settings/Vibrate (checked)
Any idea? Thanks

Try using Handcent SMS. If that doesn't work, wipe.

smspop up works as well.

have u tried: menu/settings/all settings/sounds nd notifications/notifications/scroll to new message nd check vibrate.

Tried with this one too and didn't work either
I did a factory data reset and didn't work either.
Then I did a Clear Storage (aka Hard Reset) via fastboot (hold down volume + power) and it WORKED. It is all good now. Thank you all for your replies.

I don't see these settings on my Nexus One, I think you are talking about G1/My Touch settings.. but thanks

Alternately
I had this problem too, nothing worked. Toggled native messenger app vibrate on/off, tried Handcent long/short/custom, etc. Nothing worked, phone vibrated for calls, but not messages. Read on howardforums to try the app "Sound Manager," use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it worked. Handcent & native messaging vibrate upon receive message and can set custom length vibrate alerts in Hancent. App is in the market for free, good luck.

I had the same problem. Downloaded Sound Manager and found that "notifications" were set to "never vibrate".
I'm not sure how this got set, but all is well now. Cheers, ArmyAndy!

@ shadywasabi - You were right I checked all setting in the setting app that came with the phone, but then I downloaded sound manager. I opened the app pressed menu key and under Notification Setting/ Don't Vibrate was checked so I just changed it to Vibrate Whenever Possible. Then tested my notifications in handcent and it works. THX

try go launcher sms, in go launcher sms settings you can configure to off vibration ..

Issue with double notification sound...

I get a double notification sound every time i get a text message. The first sound is the one i chose in handcent. The second sound occures 1 second after the first, and its the default notification sound("look at me").
Ive tried unchecking everything in the default messaging app. Ive tried going into settings>sound& display> notification ringtone> silent. Restarting phone after setting these things. And still no fix. I still get the double notification sounds. The 1st i want. The second default sound doesnt go away.
Before I made this thread i did research around the web about this and tried every suggestion. I still have the problem.
Any other suggestions?
also: my phone is not rooted
Wow. Never heard of that... I really don't know what to say.
Root.
Go to messaging app, settings, then just UNCHECK notifications. That should be it. I've had tons of Android phones and use all kinds of 3rd party SMS app, and have no issues.
Make sure you don't have some other SMS app or message notification app also running giving notifications. (missed call, sms popup, chompsms, trackball alert, sms count widget, etc..)

Yeah "nothing" is checked in the default messaging app.
I tried to install chomp to see if it was handcent and it did it with chomp too.
Edit: I found the issue!
Thanks for suggesting about looking for any app that had anything to do with messaging or ringer tones. It was a rarely used app i have called "ringo pro"
I changed the appropriate settings and now everything is fine.
Thank you

i checked it hundreds times... i send text to myself to try if the notification tone changed, but no, it didnt...
I solved it by downloading a sms app and turn on the the notification for text from the app and kill the notification from settings..
thanks for the reply =)

Cool you found a workaround, never had trouble myself. BTW, were you changing the notification sound in the messaging app or just in overall settings?
Got the same problem, also can't turn off the usb debugging mode and change most of settings. Looks like it appeared after I enabled sideloading and removed Start-Up Sound and some att apps.
I am on JH7, rooted, enabled non market apps.
Can anyone help?
Did you try to change the notification sounds within the app itself? Open SMS, hit menu, settings or options, then notification. Same with email.

[Q] Vibration doesn't work in Gmail

It's a weird issue. Vibration works for incoming text messages, calls, haptic feedback and unlock screens.
I just updated from CM 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 (I got the push notification before the "recall" was issued, but everything worked under 7.0.1).
Yes, vibrate is turned on for the Gmail account I want. I have two other accounts set up without vibrate.
I've checked settings, I've even downloaded Sound Manager and made sure to set "Vibrate All" but I have been unable to get this working.
Anything anyone can think of to help?

Get handcent sms from market
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
all i can find is handcent language packs, but anyway, why do i need an app for my phone to vibrate
The app is an alternative for the stock messaging app and it has its own vibrate settings.
The app's full name is "Handcent SMS"

This was also driving me nuts. Until just now since I finally figured it out. You just need to open up the messaging app itself, hit the menu button, and click on messages settings. Make sure the vibrate option is clicked and voila, we have vibrate.
This is different from the notification vibrate in the regular settings menu.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Just as Duffey1 said its a separate setting in the app itself. If you want more control such as the vibrate pattern then you will have to install another app from the market or rom such as liberty3 that has this built into the SMS app.

i think my problem was different, because i did check the settings in the messaging app itself also the one in sound settings and even though it was enabled , it still wasn't working, i did end up fixing it though, i downloaded an app called sound manager and enable vibration in there and now even after uninstalling sound manager, my sms vibration still works
i actually had this happen to me twice, both times when switching ROMs, and both times sound manager fixed the problem

Does the gear only work with the stock messaging app?

I was trying different text apps today and it appears after installing them I stopped getting text notifications on my gear. So I assume the gear requires the stock messaging app to receive the message son the gear?

Unfortunately, that is correct.
I have always used & loved Handcent, but I realized pretty quickly that using Handcent disables all text notifications on the watch

Yeah I tried textra again, but still can't get mms to work on it, so I went back to handcent. Thats a bummer, but the stock app has very little customization
Appears So
Yes, it appears you are correct. I use the Facebook Messanger app for SMS and it doesn't work. Really unfortunate.

It works happily alongside Tablet Talk. Tablet Talk and my Gear are both connected via bluetooth to my phone. Any time I get a text, it goes to both my Gear and my Tablet just fine.
Darn!!! Took the wind out my question. I use handcent as well it has so many nice functional customizations I cannot go to the default messaging. Could any form of rooting the device open the door up for this or is it the app?

I tried using Tablet Talk 1.75 and it keeps craching on the Gear. What version are you using??? Thanks.
Go SMS works
I have Go SMS working... Go SMS is controlling the vibrate (so I can use custom vibration patterns), and I have it controlling the LED (change color and blink rate). Also when I press the "show on device" button on the Gear, it goes straight to Go SMS, not the stock messaging.
This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!
but your method only give you notification that you receive message but doesn't show any message content right?
What I need is able to read text message on gear just like the stock messaging app is. I miss using textra.

It works with my version as well, 1.9.4 but I just had some issues getting it to work after the latest gear manager update. Basically had to switch it to wifi and back to bletooth before it reconnected and was working again.

Using my method, the stock messaging app is still pushing the notifications to the gear (not Go SMS), so they come up the same, and you can read the message content, no problem.

Use ATN Manager 1.2.2
That seems to work with most apps that send notifications.
using it with Chomp SMS and it works great.

I tried ATN and it didn't work for me at all. Posted in the thread for it, but no help as of yet.
I followed the instructions, installed the app, checked the box under security/notifications, selected the apps I wanted, most notably is textra. I sent myself several texts, as well as an email from my girlfriends phone and I did not get one notification on the watch

I didn't want to use Gosms, but for now it seems like the best bet. This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the detailed breakdown
