hey guys, so i was wondering that if i could reduce the vibration when i recieve a txt message..
ive seen it drains alot of battery.. and when it vibrates..it last for about 3-4 seconds and i dont really need that much to know i have a message..
if you guys know about and app or mod to control the lengh of this ..tell me please..i would love to
Thanks would be given
There is not a way i know of that will do this within the software pre se. You could try turning haptic feedback on system-wide and then in your keyboard settings turn it off (I use Swype and it has a check box for "Vibrate on keypress")
But If you use some other messaging app (maybe handcent) you may have better control
I messed with it a long time ago and really never found a solution just some hacky work arounds
Thnx oka...i think hacks should make it but no idea to do it

I know stock messaging it has the standard vibration that lasts for the 3-4 second duration with no altering. I use Handcent that you can customize the vibration to last as long or as little as you want.
Handcent is the way to go. You can customize everything about your notification.
Thank you guys i will try ot...stock messaging drinks my battery in minutes...i did a test

I have been looking at the Notification Vibration in a number of Apps and don't seem to be having any luck.
As an example on my Galaxy Tab I have sound ON and in the Twidroyd App I have it set to Vibrate on Alerts which it plays both a Notification sound AND vibrates strongly.
However, on the SGS II with the same settings in Twidroyd it will only play the sound but will not vibrate.
Note: Both phones main settings/sound settings/ vibrate is set to Always.
Has anyone else experienced no notification vibration?
EDITED:
Sorted ~ See Post 16.
It was the App Volume Ace which had turned off Vibration Notifications.
I have the same kind of problem.
Incoming calls, the phone sounds but no vibration. In settings, vibration is set to "Always".
Any idea please ?!?
Thanks
Well I am pleased someone finally decided to add a comment here, even if it were only to agree.
I find it difficult to accept that everyone is happy their SGS2 has no vibration notification.
Come on members... voice your thoughts.
Only with your input can we then investigate further.
Hey, I found something interesting that brings the vibration to my incoming calls. Maybe it's gonna help you.
1. in Settings/Sound make sure you set "Always" to Vibration
2. Put a cross to Haptic feedback then set your intensity
3. Desactivate Haptic feedback
I tried to call my SGS2 and the vibration came with the ringtone.
Last step, I re-activated the Haptic feedback and vibration is still working with the ringtone.
PS : hope you understood my english...

What ROM version are you using?
Haven't tried this yet but if it does work well done but obviously there is an error on the phone in that it should work by default yet takes this weird method to activate it.
Now what about other vibration alerts..... any takers?
I'm using the latest XWKE7 with a root SGS2
The others vibration alerts seems to work good.

Interesting...... So this may be an issue with stock roms.
I have decided to wait until Gingerbread 2.3.4 before updating as apart from the dreaded no vibration notifications everything else seems great.
I'd like to hear from any other members please.... if only to say their vibration notifications work/don't work and what rom they are on... Thanks.
Mine rings and vibrates on incoming call. Vibrate is set to always and I've not noticed any issues.
Maybe its the ringtone that you're using?
Notifications seem fine too e.g. on whatsapp.
Oh and I'm on stock.

What about other notifications.
I.e. on my Tab whenever I receive a tweet I hear the notification and it vibrates.
The SGS2 only plays the audio notification.
Yeh other notifications from apps where I've set to vibrate seem fine.
I actually downloaded Twydroid to test it out - set notifications for tweets, mentions and DMs and set to vibrate but all I got was the sound. Weird.

I'm pleased you chose Twydroid as that is the twitter App I use.
You say other Apps though work.
Can you tell me of one so that I can instal and try it out to see if I can get the vibration to work.

I have the XDA App installed and that doesn't play vibration alerts.
Re Facebbok it won't let me sign in so will have to try that again.
However what concerns me is you say XDA works for you yet fire me nothing.... no vibration.
Need to look more into XDA when I get out of theatre.
Just about to go in for a short surgery.
Catch you later have to prep.
Thanks.
Sorted....... and it was unbelievably simple (and stupid of me not to notice).
The 'culprit' (although I share blame in not noticing) was the App 'Volume Ace' which I had already installed some time ago.
Last night after theatre I checked thoroughly all the Apps that should be sending a vibration notification and there was nothing untoward that showed any sign the Apps would hit a problem with a vibration alert.
Next step was to look again at my settings..... nothing wrong there.
Finally I then started to methodically go through each App which had some form of control to Sound.
It was not long before I found when you brought up the window of Volume Ace there was something I had previously missed.
Take a look at the first screen picture in the link I have highlighted above and if you look 'ever so' closely at the second volume control, to the right is a 'vibration' icon.
This icon was not lit up. So I tapped on the icon, this changed it's appearance to bright orange and closed the window down.
As I receive tweets every couple of minutes or so it was not long before Twydroid sent me an audio notification AND yes.... a vibration one as well.
So, all sorted.
Thank you to all those who have participated. I now am going to find a quiet room to hide my face of shame.
Ha no worries, glad you got it sorted and hope all went ok with your op, cheers

Yes, it's now performing just as it should and I still can not believe how simple it were in the end. Very unusual for me to miss something like this.
It would be easy for me to put it down to the 22 operations I have performed this past week and say they have kept me busy but that would only be an excuse.
Not to be picky, but looking at the thread title looks like it was the app (Volume Ace) misbehavior.
You can change the same setting in the stock/built in settings, the app will just reflect that change.
When I receive an incoming call into my sony xperia s,(while screen is locked) I can't seem to be able to unlock the screen , and the phone seems to be touch-wise not responsive! I noticed that sliding under the "slide-bar" will exactly work fine rather sliding your finger on the slide-bar itself! which is odd~!
Is this a calibration problem (and how to fix it) or this is a design problem and I have to "live" with it?
And , did anyone face the same problem , or I am the only one who is plaged with this?
thanks a lot in advance for any suggestion!
Waiting for reply guys...
It should not be a design problem. It could just be a bug.
You can try flashing an official firmware using Flashtool. If you don't want to lose the data then make sure you uncheck the option 'wipe user data'. This should solve the issue.
Or may be you can wait for some one to reply with a quick solution.
No there is no way to fix it, it's the software's fault..
same here, the touch stop to response when a incoming call sometimes. After few trys it answeara.
But every time it had happend my have my fingers been little dirty.
i have the same problem, i'm in vietnam, when incoming call, the answer slider is not respone some time, can anyone fix this (.73 firmware)
same to me !
(FW.67)
wow!
Didn't know that this is an actual "bug" which needs a fix, I thought I am the only one here!
Now how to report that to Sony?
Hy, With the test kernel 9008 and rom Ultimate Xperience i can slide call incoming with no bug.
But need a root!!!

yep, same here (.73)
And when it's finally unlocked, I have to say 2 times hello, because the first time the caller doesn't hear it.
But after that it's fine.
Yep I've noticed this also, thought I was just not pressing correctly.

Me too.
Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.
I'm using fourth device (was replacing due to the yellow tint issue) and none of the phone had such issue!
I have the same problem too.
It seems like sometimes the touch screen takes a second or two more to activate once screen lights up as an incoming call arrives.

Guys I also have this issue even when unlocking the screen from standby, i can even unlock the screen I need to press the power button and then again press the power button to bring the device alive and then I can unlock. When I receive a call I cant slide to receive it, I need to press the power button to put it in standby and then again press the power button to bring it alive and then I can slide to receive the call. But after that i can cut the call as the screen is unresponsive. Again i need to press the power button twice. Please help I dont want to hate my lovely Xperia S.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you tried to swipe a bit bellow the icons on the empty space? This works for me.
Same Problem with all of us? Where is SONY to hear that???
How Can We Get That To Their Ears?
Basically the title. When My phone is on vibrate I never feel my ATT One X+ vibrate from a text. I can't find any text vibrate text settings and the notification led just isn't enough for me to realize someone is trying to contact me.
I'm new to android, so maybe I just haven't turned on a simple setting, but this is a pretty real issue for me.
Anyone have any solutions?
Open Messages - Settings - Notification - Check Mark the Vibrate for messages.

That is definitely helpful. Now my phone vibrates when I get a text. My iPhone would notify(vibrate again) me a minute later if I didn't check on the text. Anyone know anything about applying that to the phone?

Really no one?
You didn't say anything here, really.
What version are you running? Which ROM? Kernel? When did you flash it? Does the screen work properly or does it have issues? Did it just started to happen or was it from the 1st day? What did you tried to overcome the problem?
