[Q] Vibrate only when receiving call... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I first got the phone yesterday all was behaving normally. (Ie. Vibrate when receiving call and not during SMS) I then proceeded to configure Widgetsoid and probably accidentally pressed the wrong button on the sound toggle button.
As you are aware there is clearly no option to select "Vibrate on/off" in the SMS settings menu, so I was wondering how one could remedy the problem without using Sound Profile to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

new workaround for endless vibration

There's been this issue with the Nike that when you enable vibration on incoming SMS alerts, it will at a certain point vibrate endlessly, and the only way to stop the vibration is to pull out the battery (if I can recall it right, even a soft reset won't stop it).
I don't know if there has been a fix for this already but I'm just gonna post this for people who wants their phone to vibrate when receiving SMS
The workaround is really simple, just download the app OS Remind Me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=hide+sim+contacts
Enable the vibration option and check the option "Unread SMS". On the "Alarm Sound" option, choose another kind of sound, one that makes less noise like the Default.wav, BECAUSE it will play at the same time with your default SMS alert tone and will mix up the sounds. Finally, make sure the program is running! Don't close it, use the "hide" function so it stays up and running.
And taadaaaaa... every time someone texts you it will vibrate
Thank you to whoever made this app!

[Q] Question about vibration alerts / sound

I have litening Rom 5 installed & running Go Launcher. I notiiced that when I was receiving text messages or when it was on silent I did not get the vibration alert. I then changed the settings so that the its set to vibration always and the icon appears on the top. However when I go into the pull down screen the sound icon is gone?
All I want is to be able to put the phone in silent and it will vibrate when I receive a text message or a phone call. The same goes when its not in silent. Also how can I tell if phone is in silent mode as its not given me the sound icon on the pull down menu?
Is it something simple I am missing more than likely
Confused
If the option in Dropdown menu is missing then just hold Power button, you will see the first option as Silent mode/Sound is Off/On.
And I didn't get you clearly on the SMS vibration part, just make sure that 'Vibrate always' is enabled under Settings- Sound- Vibration.
Regards.

[Q] Vibrate not working...

So I have never used the vibrate volume level until today. The phone does vibrate when hovering over the vibrate option, however when text messages come through it does not vibrate at all. I have the stock firmware and I did a battery pull and still no luck. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Tried going into the settings in the message app? Sometimes you have to enable it.

You will need to set it in settings. Go to the messaging app that you use, whether it is stock, handcent, GO SMS, etc, then there should be an option within the settings.
For stock messaging app, you would want to enter settings, and under the notifications menu, there should be options where you can toggle vibration.

no vibration for incoming txt messages

Hi there.
My Sony Xperia S does not vibrate for incoming text messages. The options in
Messages-> settings -> vibration notification is checked.
Also in Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate -> always on .
The phone neither vibrates when sound is ON nor when it is OFF..
Rest it vibrates for incoming calls and keypad touch..
Please HELP..!!!
Go to the messaging app, press the menu button and choose settings. In there youll find the vibrate settings for messages
But agreed. Makes no sense that there isn't a shortcut from the settings app or something

try this solution
I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull
DONE..!!!
Finally m done with it..
Factory reset was done..it works now...

[Q] Incoming Call

Does anybody else find their device becomes unresponsive, and unable to take a call, when you receive a call while using it? I can see the phone notification icon in the top-bar but can not answer the call as there's no on-screen "Answer" button. I can't pull down the menu, or use the app I'm in, or even press "Home". Anybody else had this? It happens in phone mode for me.
