I set my phone to vibrate and it does vibrate for calls, but not for text messages (using Google Messenger text app). Any ideas?
Seems like it may be a problem with Google apps. Messenger and Hangouts wouldn't vibrate, but stock Messaging and Textra apps vibrate.

Is there a way to add a vibration when I receive an e-mail?
I'm running a G1 with Cyanogen 4.2.4.
Open up Gmail, or Email if that's what you're referring to... go to settings and notifications and check the box next to vibrate. It's the same for Gmail, Email, Gtalk, and SMS, but they are independent and can all be set up however you like.
I really like the Google Hangouts as an SMS client, I also like the stock SMS notifications on my Gear. My problem is i wish to continue to utilize the Hangouts app for SMS while only receiving notifications from the stock app on my Gear. I know you can just enable Hangouts notifications via Gear Manager but when you receive multiple messages it collates them and loses content, in addition to not having the quick response capability. I've also tried the Disa.im messaging app. While this is cool I am not a huge fan and MMS is spotty on my Note 3. Thanks!
you can't do it. The gear relies on notifications from the phone.
1. if you turn off hangouts notifications for SMS, then you can get SMS client notifications, but you won't get hangouts for SMS on the phone
2. if you turn off SMS client notifications on the phone, then the Gear will never know to display the notification.
3. You could have hangouts AND the SMS client enabled on the phone, and only the SMS Client notifications enabled on the Gear, but then you'll have duplicate notifications on the phone, and you won't receive any non SMS hangouts notifications.

that blows... thanks for the response though.
y car can read me messages if the SMS goes to my Messages apps, but it does not recognize messages that go to my hangouts app. As I mostly use GVoice for ALL my messaging and calls how can I make my care see the messages and read them to me again?
Hi,
is there any way to receive emergency alert messages in other apps and not in the default Messages?
I asked Textra about it and the answer was:
If the amber alert / emergency alert comes in as a SMS it will show up in Textra, if it comes in as a push notification it will only show up on your pre-installed messaging app out of the box, poor practice we know, but this is their way of trying to lock you in.
This is the same for all other messaging apps.
I hope this clarifies.

The problem is that when an alert comes (and since I have Textra as default sms app) instead of viewing the alert I get a popup to choose another messaging app!
Does this happen to anyone else? Any ideas?
Hello,
All my messengers(whatsapp, hangouts, etc) allow me to change message sound to vibrate.
I cannot do this with Facebook messenger, for some reason. I think its
messenger/settings/notifications and sounds/manage notifications/chats and calls/sound - change to silent
I think it's that, but it won't save permanently those preferences
Any ideas how to completely disable the sound notifications in Facebook messenger? I prefer just to switch it to vibrate.
Hi
Try going to Messenger app info and select notifications and then change notification sound to silent.
That may help but i am not sure because i rarely use messenger.
