Vibrate Only on FroYo

Ever since I updated to FroYo, I lost the feature of having vibrate only for phone calls and text messages. Usually using the volume rocker (up and down) it would go from silent > vibrate > ring.. On FroYo it goes from silent > ring..
Any idea how to fix it?
I know I can do it manually by making the option be vibrate on silent in phone settings.. But sometimes I do not want my phone to vibrate on silent.. Just a hassle of going into settings and turning it off each time when i do not want it

It sounds like your problem is two fold.
First, mine goes from sound bar down to vibrate. (I don't know if ADW launcher has an affect on this or not).
Secondly, you might want to look in to the settings applications on the market and see if you can set and restore settings for those times you want just silent and vibrate for some parts.

Are you using modaco's rom?

I use a widget called extended controls which is like an enhanced version of the stock power control widget. It has options for vibrate only or complete mute.

sliding the speaker on the lock screen should put it on vibrate only on froyo

Nope the Lock screen slide makes it completely silent. Is it only Modaco's rom ?

Did you check settings> sounds > vibrate and ensure it is not never or only when not silent?

Well neither of those options help because its either one or the other. I do not want it to always vibrate or just vibrate when on silent.. I dont know why it disappeared :S

Did you try "vibrate only on silent mode" and see if you get the option? I'm tuning kang-of-rama froyo and it works and that is what mine is set to. Otherwise maybe reflash your rom?

Vibrate only in silent mode defeats the purpose of silent mode
Stupid google, wth were they thinking with this change. I don't understand why they had to fix something that wasn't broken.

you can do it from individual app setting for sound, and in the home screen setting. that way you can tailor each app's vibrate, or silence the way you prefer.

Everyone is missing the point here. I have a Droid running Froyo and am experiencing the same problem. It is really not that hard to understand, but so many forums about this issue are full of replies that misunderstand the issue:
Prior to Froyo, Silent and Vibrate were 2 distinct functions:
Silent: ringer volume at zero and vibrate was disabled. Perfect for a theatre or a quiet meeting where even a vibrate would be annoying and disrespectful.
Vibrate: ringer volume at zero and vibrate enabled. Perfect for keeping the phone in your pocket, being aware of notifications, but not having your phone beeping and ringing all day.
This all makes sense, yes? By using the volume rocker, it was possible to adjust from full ringer volume down to low ringer volume. If you continued down after the volume was at it quietest, you activated vibrate mode. Then, if you clicked down once more, you would enable silent mode. Also all makes sense. And is extremely useful and intuitive.
In Froyo, Google has changed the way the OS handles volume control when it comes to silent mode and vibrate mode. And quite frankly, they have screwed it all up. Now, in Settings, you can specify whether the phone should vibrate "Always", "Never", "Only in Silent Mode", "Only when not in Silent Mode".
Ugh. So what that means is they have essentially done away with a distinction between silent and vibrate and now instead of having quick access to both options, you have to pick whether silent means truly silent like before or whether it really means vibrate. So frustrating.
So far, the only solutions I have seen out there are to download one of the many widgets that allows you to toggle between vibrate, silent, and ringing via a home screen icon. But this is not good enough. I want Volume Rocker control back of true Silent and true Vibrate modes.
Someone here on XDA must know how to fix this. Can't someone come up with an app that overrides the volume rocker? Or even an update.zip that restores the 2.1 functionality here?
Here's to hoping!
EDIT: here is the official google help thread on this topic: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3f836bd37ec0dc88&hl=en

Hmm it seems i'm not the only one who misses that option on Froyo!
I used it quite a lot...going from sound to vibrate (when going out) then going into a meeting just one more click and the phone was on silent.
There must be someone who knows how to fix this?

Any news on this ?

Tbh I like the new way much better

for a second i thought i was going crazy but it seems like everyone has the same problem
oh well, here's hoping google fixes this soon. i want the old "silent [no vibrate] -> vibrate only -> ringer+vibrate" setup back.

Agreed I prefer 2.1's behaviour.
I'm using Curvefish's "Beautiful Vibrate" widget as a workaround for now.

i just upgraded to froyo and this missing feature also really annoys me..
it's been some time since the last post in this thread. are there any proper solutions/workarounds yet?

Settings -> sound -> check silent state

sorry, there's nothing to check there this post within this thread describes the problem very well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6975085&postcount=12
i can't find the "beautiful vibrate" widget within the market, guess it doesn't exist anymore?
[edit]
i'm using "silent toggle widget" now, seems to be working as expected, but of course doesn't replace the volume rocker feature/settings from 2.1

[Q] Galaxy S i9000M Froyo weak vibration when receiving a SMS.

I recently flashed Doc's Froyo ROM for Bell. It's been great. I usually put my phone on silent before I sleep and after the first time I put it back on vibrate, I noticed that when receiving a text message my phone vibration is really weak, barely even noticeable.
For the past few days I've been trying a bunch of settings and nothing works. I know it's not the actual vibration motor because the vibration is good when I test in the diagnotic mode or when I receive a call. I also noticed that there is no vibration setting in the Messaging app, which used to be in 2.1.
I also tried the Sound Manager app, reset to factory settings, other messaging apps and nothing works. Anybody have a clue what the problem is?

I'm having the same issue under Perception, which is JK3 based as well. I hope someone figures it out.
Edit: Never mind. My vibration intensity was turned way down on this ROM by default. I cranked it up and everything is fine.

Where did you find that intensity option?

this took me a while to work but but this is how u change it:
Settings > Sound > Vibration Intensity
Note: MUST have Heptic Feedback turned on to adjust the Vibration intesity, once selected the amount you want, just untick Heptic Feedback if you do not wish to use it

Just tried it and message vibration is still barely noticeable.

Does the ROM you're using include an OC/UV kernel? I'm wondering because I downloaded Xan's voltage app and changed my IO scheduler from BFQ to NOOP and my vibration became very weak, regardless of the haptic feedback setting. I changed it back to BFQ and, after a reboot, my vibration went back to normal.

[Q] Different vibrate setting for haptic feedback and calls

So basically my question is if it's possible to set a different vibration strenght for haptic feedback and the vibration when you receive a call or SMS since I've noticed that they are tied together. Perhaps something in tasker? I haven't noticed anything in it though. I'm running darky's rom jvs base.
Thanks

There is a setting for haptic feedback in settings>sound, right at the bottom. Not sure if this changes the call vibration as well. Im assuming thats what you played with before...

yes, I know that but I was wondering if there was a way to set different vibration strengths. I like the haptic feedback to be kinda weak but then I can't feel the vibration when someone calls

[Q] Haptic feedback Samsung Galaxy S

Guys..
I am newcomer, please be nice with me...
Have Samsung Galaxy S, rooted..using Cyanogenmod 7.1.0- GalaxyS,build -GWK74, Gingerbread 2.3.7.
After installing Cyanogenmod everything looks fine except Hapric feedback, it is very annoying..
1. Disabled from dial panel -> Menu(preferences)-> unchecked Haptic feedback
2. Settings->Cyanogenmod settings->Input settings->Haptic feedback tweaks -> main--Unchecked all
But still I am getting Haptic feedback when I receive any any phone call, even the callers are saying they can hear the vibrating sound which is very annoying..
Any solution please..If not I have to revert back to Stock mod..please...

hey!
what do you exactly mean by "getting Haptic feedback when I receive any any phone call, even the callers are saying they can hear the vibrating sound"?
there is another option to disable haptic feedback. settings -> sound -> vibrate on touch. hope it works!

Thanks

HTC One Soundprofiles

Hey,
just wanted to ask a question concerning a slight issue I'm having with my HTC One.
With my SGS3 I was used to simply shut of all sounds and vibration during work/school, so that there are no vibration sounds while lying on my desk. Then, I would want to put it back into "only sound mode", so to have no annoying vibration sounds while lying on my desk, but just sound.
In order to do this, I have to check all apps and disable vibration in those apps, am I right? Like disabling vibration in whatsapp, facebook messenger etc.
But then my problem is, that when I want to add vibration when carrying it around in my pocket, I would need to add again vibration in every single app?
In fact, I would like to have a completely silent profile (no vibration, no sounds), a vibration only profile, and a sound only profile. Is this in any way possible to achieve?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

bump

I'll bump this as well. Has anyone found any nonrooted solution to this yet? I DLed Sound Profiles from Play, but that didn't seem to do what I wanted.
Thanks

Open options, click Sound, Profiles are right there (Normal,Vibration and Silent).

Normal includes vibration. There is no option for Sound but No Vibration. Driving me crazy!

Well, you can go to Settings / Sounds and turn off vibration during calls. I think that would shut it off.
Also, you can disable vibration in the power saver menu, even if that is all you shut off.

Turning off in calls doesn't turn it off in Notifications.
The downside to the power saver option is then I can't have haptic feedback on capacitive buttons.

The power save option to turn off vibration feedback doesn't affect the buttons?
EDIT: I'm not sure I entirely understand. But I'm using the Business calendar application for the reminders, and it has full control of vibration.
