[Q] Change Vibrate pattern w/o new messaging app - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 :\

Contact specific notifications for SMS

I've searched but have found nothing.
Is there an app that will allow you to assign different notifications based on who is sending you a SMS?
Chompsms can do that, press the msg and hold ntil option pops up...then scroll and asign ring

Thanks!
I've been using Handcent sms and I was hoping that it could handle it. Oh well. Looks like I will need to change apps.
ringo pro also works to assign sms tones custom leds and vibe patterns without needing any oths mms.apk even works with the default mms
Pretty sure handcent can do it. Open up a message from the person and click the top right settings icon.
Missed Call (at least the donate version) does this as well, I used to use Ringo, but once Missed Call got the feature I never looked back.

vibrate length

Is there any way to customize the vibration length for sms notifications? I've used sms popup to do it in the past but thats the only feature of the app I use and its a waste to run a whole process for just one silly little feature like that...

Change vibrate pattern.

Is there an app that i can change the vibrate pattern for SMS/MMS/Gmail
I tried DG Alert Classic....but... This app makes its own notifications for the top bar. And requires you to dissable the one in the messages app. This is find and dandy BUT it only will display the phone number instead of the contact name and it wont follow it with the actual txt like the stock notification does.
I tried Missed Reminder....but... This is more of just a reminder app so that it will keep vibrating every sayyyyy 5min till you look at your txt.
I want a app that pretty much just edits the vibrate pattern (it will probably also offer to change the LED pattern/color h/e ive found none of thoes work for the slide)
NM. I found and DLed "Smart Vibrator" and it did the trick
Umm,i the LED noti not been working??

Handcent SMS Vibrate?

I don't know if its just my specific phone but I want it to play the sound and vibrate whenever I get some sort of notification. With the stock messaging it gives me that option and I see the option through Handcent but phone only plays sound. When I go into vibrate mode, only calls vibrates. Nothing else.
Any help? Thanks!
Try reinstalling the app
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Try this:
With handcent installed navigate to
Android Settings>Sound and Display>Enable Haptic feedback (make sure it's checked)
below it change vibration intensity to your desire. Once this is done you can then disable haptic feedback if you don't like it but the vibration intensity will be saved for handcent.
i was looking for an app that customized some sms and email notifications.. any out there for email? this seems great for sms

vibrate and sound works fine for me in handcent
I forgot to mention that I did have Heptic Feedback off, rumor says it saves battery life.

Handcent lets you customize the vibration pattern also.

[Q] Anyone know how to disable these things..

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
