SOLVED [Q] Phone doesn't vibrate when receive a SMS - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hey guys,
weired question...
My x10 MP doesn't vibrate when I receive a SMS.
Yes, I know there is an option in the SMS app that enables the vibration, it's on
Also, is it possible to receive a notification of a new SMS without showing the first 50 letters of the SMS on the notification bar?

Same here, mine also no vibrate on sms and emails alert..
But it does vibrate with incoming calls if I put the phone in vibrate mode.
Not sure what fault it is, everything seemed setting right in the setting menu.

Finally I figure it out!
Step 1 install handcent sms
Step 2 go to your sms configurations and make sure that the vibration notification isn't check!
Step 3 uninstall handcent sms.
Step 4 go to your sms configurations and make sure that the vibration notification it's check!
It works \o/

I got it working too..
Installed AudioManager and set notification alert vibrate box checked and everythings worked as it should be.
Just wonder why it did't work when everything is in default setting(no 3rd party sound/audio app installed) with Alert vibrate checked.
It must be the firmware default bug...

Do you think there's a way to activate it without installing something beforehand?

I don't know, because the initial problem was (i think) caused by handcent

On my issue, I didn't install any 3rd party sms but still the vibrate don't work. Until I installed this audio manager and solved..

I don't know what caused the problem, but the Handcent SMS seemed to work.
Thanks

[Q] SMS and Call forwding Apps stop working in X10 2.3.3

I used the X10 to forward sms/calls notification to my HTC phone via SMS. The apps like "The Operator" and "Phone Control" works in X10 2.1 before but since I updated to 2.3.3 the apps fails to work after 1 notification message.
I rebooted the X10 and activated the sms/call forward apps. Again try to simulate a missed call to the phone. The first missed call notification is forwarded. Subsequently the X10 refuse to send out SMS. Then I cannot even manually send sms on the X10. The sms application just hanged there with message "sending..". Need to reboot again before the sms function is working again.
It is important for me to have the sms/call forwarding function as I don't like to carry 2 phones.
Any one with the same problem?
Thinking of downgrade to 2.1
I do have a similar situation... I have a Xperia X10 and with any application I have the described problem. Just manually sending SMS works grate. If one of the apps is sending a message then no other messages are sent until I restart the phone. I have tried different apps and did do a few factory resets. I had no problems on Android 2.1, everything started after upgrading to 2.3.

I use Go SMS Pro apps (all free)for all sms/email (except Gmail/Google Voice stuff) /phonebook stuff works good, Have had for about six month now has all the stuff that you need to do an more. Although the Emoji with Emoji pulg-in only works if all you send too have the app other wise you are the only one that sees emoticons they will see the standard icons.

Also you can setup your Google voice/chat/mail as your forwarding number to send to all your numbers cells as(text/voice/video mail)/land-line as voice mail/Google Chrome all the above of coarse and it's all free to.
On my x10a 2.3.3 Generic/Rooted with some tweaks/apps/build props
Have you tried dgAway. I've been using it on 2.1,2.3 and now on custom rom.
It works flawlessly but be careful if the target phone is not on. A sms loop will happen.
It is not a question of SMS application... The SMS is working ok as long as there is no APP that will try to send automatically an SMS. I did install a different SMS client App but I guess the applications are using the Android API's so it is probably why this is still failing.
As the initial post said, the APP is sending the first SMS message but then nothing else. Also the SMS is working properly if manually sending them before that first automatic message. As soon as an automatic message is sent all other manual attempts to send SMS messages are failing. The messages are remaining in "sending" state until the phone will be rebooted. Following the reboot all manually SMS messages that were in "sending" status are being sent.
Hope this clears the problem definition!
Does anyone know if there is a bug in the version 2.3.3 that is related to this issue? Any idea if there is a 2.3.4 version for Xperia X10 that is coming out soon?

[Q] How to disable vibration for EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR CALLS

Hello all,
I have a problem. I'd like my phone to only vibrate when I receive calls, and nothing else. Text messages should not trigger the vibration, nor any incoming emails. Only when someone else calls me.
Right now, my phone has vibration COMPLETELY disabled, meaning that even when people call me, it doesn't vibrate.
How can I mess around with the settings such that calls trigger the vibration?
I'm using the stock rom, if it makes a difference. Thanks!
I have disabled the test message vibration, as i use Go sms pro and i have disabled the vibration in it...
so only for calls my phone vibrates.
and for email.. I dont check mails in my mobile usually.. so u can disable vibration in ur email client app too
Individually go to each app settings and disable the vibration
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I never knew that you could individually change the application's vibration settings! That should do the trick.
I currently have the default Messenger App. What I've done , is go to Settings>>Notification Settings>>Select Ringtone>>Silent. I've left the notification under Settings>>Sound to "Vibrate to always", so hopefully that works?
And on a side note, what are the advantages (if any) of using Go SMS Pro over the stock SMS application, besides customizable themes?
Edit: Doing what I've described above does not give me the desired results. The phone still vibrates when text messages arrive.

[Q] Vibration during call

I have a strange problem with my S3 since the JB update.
I have unbranded UK BTU stock, never rooted.
Whenever I am talking on the phone and receive a message the phone vibrates in my ear. This didn't happened on JB. I tried turning off the Messaging vibrate setting, that solved the problem partially because the phone would never vibrate when receiving a message.
Bellow are my settings:
Call settings->Call alert->Call Vibrations all unchecked; Alerts on call unchecked
Message settings->Vibrate checked
Settings->Sound->Sound and vibration unchecked
I would like my phone to act as it did on JB, notify me during a call when receiving a message through a sound and to vibrate+ when receiving a message when not talking on the phone.
Are there any other setting that I am missing?
Thanks.
Are you using a 3rd party app??
Go sms or similar??

[Q] Hello SMS Notification Vibrate Settings

I like to set my phone to vibrate so incoming calls will vibrate, but then like to configure so that incoming emails and texts do not vibrate. My gmail does this correctly but any text app I use (currently hello sms) will vibrate even though I uncheck the box for that in settings. I'm using a Nexus 5 and 4.4.2 based rom. Is there a fix for this? Thanks
Bump, any tips?

Whatsapp Vibrating when vibration turned off in App

Hi Guys,
I've noticed a problem with my Whatsapp the last couple of days, I have single messages to vibrate when coming through, but group messages to not vibrate (I'm in a lot of groups and its problematic when I'm at work )
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, and its swtiched off in app, but no matter what, I still get vibration when a group message comes through, which is a lot.
Has anyone else noticed this? I've looked through the S5 settings but cant seem to find anything to fix it. It's only happened since I updated WA 2 days ago.
Also, I should add, I changed my cache from dalvik to ART, so maybe that could be it?
Cheers.

In groups or single notification... there is an independent configurations; I had ART and Dalvik and no vibration at all
Hi Mate,
I never had any issues at all until the other day, I originally used the in app settings to control vibration, but even if they are both off it wil still vibrate for new messages,
I've gone back to Dalvik as the phone was begining to lag and hang, but still have the issue with whatsapp.

			
				
Sorry guys, I didn't realise it was that confusing.
the break it down.
Until the latest update (about 3-4 days ago) I had single messages in WA to vibrate, but group ones not to vibrate. This was controlled in the App itself, via settings -> Notifications.
So I had Vibrate: Default for Message (single) notifications and Group Notifications Vibrate: Off.
BUT it still vibrates for group message, even though its off.
Does that make sense now?

Hello!
I'm having a similar problem, did you manage to find a solution?
I had opened a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/whatsapp-bug-please-help-t2824223
I reported the bug to Whatsapp, they told me it's a feature lol! I asked them if this was indeed a feature then what's the use of the "default" setting under notification->Vibration. No answer.
I upgraded Whatsapp about 5 times to different new versions to no avail. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail.
Is there any solution? Can we use tasker to fix this?
Thank you kindly.
Issues Resolved???
Hello!!
I am also in a similar situation.
My phone(HTC M8) Vibrates even after all the Vibrations are turned off.
But this happens only when the phone is in Vibration mode or Silent Mode.
In the Normal mode audio comes but no Vibrations.
Need to stop all Vibrations for Whatsapp Notifications.
Any Suggestions??
Thanks!!

Reporting this bug to whatsapp since april 2014? or early....but they donĀ“t do nothing.
I found a workaround: If you want no vibration put Whatssapp Tone notification: None
I suggest all whatsapp vibrate problem :
Go play store and install app ops and than reboot your phone open app ops and find whatsapp kill permission of vibrate
Wattsup just updated.
Also make sure you have Notification for GROUPS and individual messages turned to OFF in Wattsup Settings !!
1st seleck on vibtare on go back exit from app and now select off may be its work
Im also face this problem in my note3
Same problem here with 2.12.194. Before the update I had individual messages vibrate on and group message vibrate off. Now with every message in a group chat the phone vibrates. I already uninstalled and installed whatsapp, deleted cache, even downgraded to 2.12.193 where I didn't had this problem but now it's present!!! :S:S:S:S

For those people who end up in this thread because they experience this issue: I've found a solution.
Go to: Settings --> Notifications --> Notification Sound --> "Silent" AND Settings --> Notifications --> Vibrate --> "Off"
Do this for single messages, or group messages, or both, whichever you need.
The problem is that if you set a sound (instead of silent) for these messages, but then set your phone to silent/vibrate, it will try to play the sound when you receive a message, but the phone, not Whatsapp, will "convert" it to vibrate.
I can confirm it on WA 2.12.252, even if Notification sound and Vibrate are set to Off :/
