I recently flashed the stock 2.3.3 to my Captivate and have been loving it. I cannot, however, find the setting to make the phone vibrate when receiving a text message. I tried hitting the menu key in the app, scrolling to the bottom, only to find there is no option for Vibrate. Only Notifcations, and Select Ringtone. I have also tried looking through the Android Settings with no luck. I must be missing something?
Settings> sound> vibrate> always
Also some ROMs like Serendipity have you change vibration settings through the messaging app. So you go to your text messaging home screen, menu, settings, notifications, then change it.

In notification settings I select vibrate for new text message. When new text message comes, my X1 don't vibrate. I check settings and selection for vibrate is absent. This happend pure generig UK rom so any 3th party program can't present this problem. Any ideas?
If the box is absent, it wont vibrate. Needs to be checked in.
Hi
is there a way to set the nexus to ring AND vibrate when i receive a sms?
thx
You should check the settings.
Go to your Messaging application.
Hit menu.
Settings.
Notification Settings.
Vibrate <= that is the one you want to check.
thank you, i guess it was pretty straightforward but i didnt think of it, i thought that notifications from the sound/notifications is applied to sms and didnt check messaging options
I don’t know if this is a bug with my rom (never used vanilla rom) or if its just a missing feature but when my phone is on Vibrate Mode (not silent), then it doesn’t vibrate when I get a SMS/MMS... Only way for me to know I got a msg is through the trackball light or the notification bar. Is my phone messed up or can I add this feature?
I am using kang-o-rama (cyan 506)
Go into Messaging, then settings, and you can enable vibrate on messages there. You can also customize the notification for messages too.
thanks, cant believe i missed that. im so used to haveing all the notification settings in one menu with my older phones
I am new to the phone, when phone is in vibrate mod, my phone does not vibrate for a text message. Is that normal or can it be changed?
Make sure you checked that you enabled it in the messages application. Go to Messages (not in a conversation, the screen where it shows your list of conversations) > press menu > settings > and the setting should be at the bottom.
Sweet, I had the same problem and your suggestion fixed it. Thanks!!
Hey I just installed di11i's 5.6, awesome rom, first one I've flashed. I can't seem to find the option to vibrate on text recieve, its not in the general settings pages or in the messaging app settings page. Any app I can use or osmething to enable this?
text message question
The easiest way is to go to Settings > Sound > Vibrate always
or download a sms program like Handcent or chompSMS
hmmm vibrate always still doesn't make it vibrate when receiving a message.
But Handcent looks like a really great alternative! Thanks
