Hey everyone. I wanted to know how to change the length and style of vibrate for when I receive texts on the captivate. The original one is just to long and kind of annoying to me.
I use the stock messaging. Not handcent or chomp. Since I don't like how they look.

I know you can set the vibration pattern with handcent, but as far as I know, you can't edit the stock vibration pattern.

I was just about to ask the same question! No matter what I do, the screen turns on when I receive a text message, I don't want this to happen. I am on JM1.. Is it a bug? Do any of the later firmwares suffer from this?
I use launcher pro but its have just the standard slide to unlock lock screen.
Driving me crazy also!

It's not a bug, it's a feature
sorry butt whyyyy , whyyyy , whyyyy you think that this is a bug ???
Most other Android phones have an option to stop that happening, for instance my gf's HTC desire. Several of the SMS programs, e.g. SMS popup, handcent, and chompSMS all have options to not light up the screen when receiving a text message, and on the desire, it honours those options - on the galaxy, it doesn't.
What is the point in the screen lighting up when you receive a message? If it's in your pocket, you won't see it so its just a waste of battery.

I'm seeing as an advantage because SGS does not have notification LED. If I left it on my desk, at least the light will catch my attention, if I didn't hear the notification tone.
Hey guys, I figured it out. You must use a program called auto starts. Then completely disable all stock messaging app instances. I am currently using handcent and everything is working perfect.

There is an led notifications hack that will turn our keys into notification leds

Even better, search market for "noled"
Has been created by some xda folk I believe.

Is it possible to change the vibrate pattern for SMS messages without having to use a 3rd party SMS app such as Handcent? I am quite fond of the built in TouchWiz lockscreen that works notifications and have noticed that it doesnt support handcent. It's hard to tell the difference between calls and spam text haha (Also is quite loud when it is a long vibrate rather than 2 short vibrates)

I second this. I've the same issue. I hate how long the phone vibrates, and I'm using the AOSP mms.apk. even though you can select short there, it still vibrates like 6 times :\
Hi,
I am trying to change my sms tone .... and everywhere is saying i do this via notification tone under settings and even apps such as ringdroid change the notification tone... but for some reason this does not change my SMS tone ... I remember I did change it once to bubbles because I was sick of my sms and battery full being the same and now I can't remeber how I did it
I am not usind a custom rom, just the stocky 2.2
anyone know how I did it
Thanks,
Xalies
Go to messaging app then go to settings, scroll down to the bottom, there you will see select ringtone.

thanks... I feel my noob showing now
I feel like an idiot...I've been trying everything since I installed Zedge to get the damn default tone to change to silent...could not understand why changing it in settings wouldn't work. TYVM!!
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, i know double posts are silly and a waste of time, but the search function isn't working right now and my phone is driving me nuts haha
okay, i just got this captivate, i came from an HTC Desire to this phone, and when i got a message on my desire, it just made the sound and the indicator light came on. now i know the captivate doesn't have an indicator LED, but is there a way to stop this screen from turning on everytime. i use the no lock app and when it turns on in my pocket i start swyping.. hahah
oh, and this battery notifcation thing where it plays my notification sound super loud at 3 in the morning beside my head while i sleep.. can i turn that stupid option off too??
thanks in advance!
For the SMS notifications, I would try installing the app called ""SMS Pop Up".
You can control much more options for SMS notifications that way. But after you download it, make sure you disable the normal SMS notifications under:
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
This is so the phone won't send you two notifications on two different apps. (The SMS Pop Up app isn't really an SMS app itself, but you get what I mean).
As for the battery notification, I would have no idea... Most of the custom roms I've tried have battery full notifications turned off as a default (cos it's pointless and stupid).
Yeah i noticed a lot of roms have it disabled, if your just rooted and dont' do roms does any one know what you do to disable it?
Is it editing a database or something?
For the battery notification, you can put your phone on silent out just turn notification volume all the way down otherwise I don't know, it isn't present in the froyo update
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time
For SMS notifications I would use NoLED, not sms pop up. For not hearing the full battery notification I would use sound manager to turn off notification sound at the time you desire
Thanks peeps

Is there any consensus on recommendations for an app to customize vibration alerts?
People at work have the same phone, and I can't tell one vibrate alert from another. I tried to set the Vibration Pattern, but that only applies to the cell ringer; not to message, email, app alerts.
I'd be happy to just update the default vibration pattern, but it'd be ideal to set the pattern based on the app so I can tell email apart from text messages.
