I just installed a widget from the market called MineMessageVibrator.

It's freeware and is simply a widget that allows you to toggle SMS/MMS Vibrate on and off. It is a bit laggy but works as advertised. I am not affiliated with the author in any way, I just wanted to share what appears to be something rare on the vibrant - a way to quickly turn message vibrate on or off without having to go into message settings.
I have tried Beautiful and SwitchWidget among others, they all have toggles for ringer and notification vibrate but not message vibrate. Am I the only one who doesn't like to leave message vibrate on all the time?
What I would really like is a widget that toggles vibrate for all three (ringer, notification AND message). If such a beast exists please enlighten me. Otherwise I hope you find this useful (I have it pinned next to SwitchWidget ringer/notification vibrate widget).
I use the Automatic Profile a lot but occasionally have to manually switch to silent or vibrate using the various toggles found on most roms. The problem is that when I toggle on vibrate etc from the automatic profile and then toggle off again, it returns you to the normal profile rather than to automatic. Does anyone know of a switch that can turn automatic profile on/off in the same way as the many vibrate amd silent switches? I know I can do it through the settings menu but a toggle switch or shortcut would be nice.
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.
So I have been having this problem since I got my phone. I can set my phone to vibrate in the setting yet it refuses to vibrate when silent or when receiving a text message. The examples work in the settings but fails to actually happen in a real life situations. I tried installing Sms Pro to fix this yet it still doesn't work.
With a text message or something else like Google Talk? Mine will vibrate with a new text message using the stock app.
Go to the main conversation page in messages -> menu -> settings -> notification settings -> change the vibrate settings to your liking. For some reason the vibrate settings for messages is separate from the global settings for notifications in the main settings of the phone.

Thank you for the help but i have set it in the notification setting in sms pro and it has done nothing. Also there is no option for vibrate in the stick messaging app's settings. I have juice defender installed i thought maybe that could be contributing to it though when disable it still wont vibrate. I appreciate the help but i'm kinda at my wits end with this.
Just checked and you are right, there is no vibrate setting in the stock messaging app. However, if you select the option "display notifications in status bar" it uses the vibrate setting from the main phone settings - all status bar notifications do.
I just sent myself a text message and it definitely vibrates.
lol I am trying to figure out how to disable message virbation...
Setting>sound>vibration> Always/Never/Only in silent mode/ only when NOT in silent mode ... mines set on always and it always vibrates lol

Exactly. When "display notifications in status bar" is set in the messaging app, the main phone settings will enable - or disable - vibration. For better or for worse this means you can't turn it on or off for texts w/o also turning it on or off for all other status bar notifications...
Handcent is working for me, with customizable vibration.

If I'm not mistaken, the default DND mode is set to Alarm Only. Once you change to a different mode, the next time you enable DND it will default to the last selected mode.
On Xperias, you can enable DND by VOL DOWN or quick settings. The system will give you a choice of modes and duration time.
There's also an option to set DND automatically via rules, which can be found in sound settings.
This is all I know regarding DND.
I want to use a widget on the home screen to quickly toggle sound modes: Normal, Vibrate, Silent. There are many apps on the Play store which can do so.
However, after Lollipop, Silent mode is actually Priority Mode, and in Marshmallow it's Do Not Disturb.
The problem is, toggling to DND via the widget seemingly always defaults to Alarm Only regardless of the last selected mode described above.
My question: Is there any way to change the default mode for DND so that the widget can toggle to DND Priority Only mode instead of Alarm Only mode?
My phone is rooted, so I'm open to root methods of achieving the desired result if necessary.
If it requires an app to control, are there any that exists which can do what I want?
Thanks!
