Vibration does not work when I get the message. I read somewhere that it is a bug. Can this be solved by root?
maybe...try to root or change ROM
samsung galaxy s2 vibration not working with text
Hi guys,
I had the same problem the other week. My phoneSGH T-989) stopped vibrating for the incoming texts and other notifications. I did everything even a factory reset but it did not help at all. Luckily, my roommate has the same phone and he doesn't have any problems with the vibration so I put both phones side by side adjusted for the same setting, deleted all the apps that I have but he doesn't, another factory reset and yet I had it not working.
I thought it was due to an app interfering with the notifications. I did another factory reset but this time I DIDN"T BACK UP WITH MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT which brings up all the apps you previously had(I had only synched my contacts) and that's it; It works like day 1(works with texts, whatsapp, viber and everything else)
I still don't know what app was causing it but I am assuming it was the battery widget I was using to display battery level on the notification bar.
Hope this helps!

Hey All,
My Athena OEM stock ROM WM6 has started to give off a HI/LO (da dum) two note sound seemingly at random. It is freshly reset, synced and fully charged. Connected to my Windows XP PC via a USB link.
If I turn off system event notifications it still pings.
What the devil does it MEAN?? There are no programs
(other than those on a stock reboot) running and there are no items in my calendar.
It's annoying....
Any ideas?
Rick
sounds like the normal USB connection detection sound to me
Nope.
This is loud, like a doorbell.....
Besides I have all of those turned off.

Sometimes I get Calender notifications that continue to sound, even though the calender event is dismissed or even deleted - especially if it was connected to a PC at the time and dismissed on there. The only way to stop it, short of a hard reset, is to set another calender event so that the reminder goes off in a minute or so, and dismiss that normally on the device.
If that's the problem you're having, that should fix it.
me too
same thing happened to me, but i really dont bother fixing it. you can try to fix it by doing a clear storage (in case you didnt do it already since Im confused when you said "freshly reset"). Backup for phone using SPB Backup or any others. Then see if it works after that. then restore the backup. No loss. Im too lazy to do it. replay back of your results.
I have a problem with my SGS2 : Push notifications (Gmail, chrome-to-phone...) work when I just started the phone, but then they stop working after a few minutes.
Then if I reboot it works fine again, and stops working 20 minutes later.
I'm running XWKE2, rooted, and I have frozen a bunch of samsung apps with Titanium backup. Does anyone have any idea where it might come from ?
Thanx !
OK, I'm now on XWKE7 rooted and I kept all the samsung apps but nothing changed, I still can't rely on push notifications at all (sometimes they work fine, most of the time not at all, and sometimes they arrive late).
Also, and I think it is linked, Gtalk doesn't really work either : It will show all my contacts as offline when they're obviously not, and sometimes when I send a message to a contact (s)he will suddenly appear as online, or my message never gets sent. Same for messages sent to me, sometimes they work and sometimes they get lost.
It happens on Wifi, 2G or 3G.
I'm going back to my Nexus One for now but it's hard... The screen seems really small now that I'm used to the SGS2 ^^
Still no solution... Any idea ?
Hi everybody,
Found a problem on my SGS2:
Loss of phone ringtone when I have incoming call (it`s only vibrating).
Restart the device - the problem is gone for a while. Then I goes again.
The device not rooted.
Bought and using SGS2 from June. Did not have this problem from the beginning. It started 2 weeks ago when I started to use alternative dialing apps.
Used "Dialer one" - it woked good. Turned to "GO Contacts" - the problem started.
Turned back to "Dialer one" - but the problem remained.
Also using: GO Launcher, GO Sms and other alternative apps.
Maybe somebody had the same problem and knows how to fix it. Asking for advice.
Thank you.
Same here bro,
Never sound problems while phone is awake (so I think not likely problems hardware-wise)
But patrial or no ringtone (only a short sound) and vibration on calls and sometimes other notifications.
While phone awake no problems when being called.
Thought for a while Lookout or Juicedefender being the problem, uninstalled these and problem seemed fixed, only to reappear shortly after that...
I am also clueless (and unrooted btw) for now.
Hi guys.
Flashed my S III with Nordic firmware ( I9300XXBLFB_I9300XEFBLF1_I9300XXLFB witc CSC NEE).
It's the latest 4.0.4.
The problem I noticed is this : when waking the phone from idling it shows signal and all functionality seems OK. However, doing restart emails and SMS's coming up and also the ringtone/notification tones are reset to default.
Tried factory reset from within the Menu, but another strange thing : when pressing Power button only Turn Off and Restart options are available. An hard reset via code sorted the problem, but the email/ringtone issue is still present. After each switch Off it sets all notification to default.
Other than this phone is OK, with great battery back up and no warming issue either.
Any idea how to get rid of this "sleepwalking" status ???
Hey guys.
I recently upgraded to JB. I have an Xperia P.
Most of the things work, but there is a BIG issue with the phone app.
It lags and crashes to the point that I literally struggle to receive and make any call. It is by far the worst bug you can get in a phone. Coz then it ceases to be a PHONE.
Anyone else got this issue? Maybe there is a way to fix it? I have tried to repair the phone via PC companion, but nothing.
Hi
I also experienced this problem, while receiving calls it's sometimes impossible to answer (slider locks on the right side of the screen and application freezes) and make calls - short lag appears after touching the contact, then the screen blinks, then it calls or freezes. It's becoming more and more annoying. I've tried wiping data and cache of Phone application, neither helped.
That being said, I'm currently on a Jellybean 6.2.A.0.400 build, unbranded (changed from branded build, my contract provider is still keeping the OTA). I'm always in battery stamina mode and I'm using Apex launcher instead of stock.
Maybe something is interfering with the app, I don't know. Other thread about ICS being laggy suggested limiting background process limit - I didn't do it just yet, I need to check if any of background apps are not responding (turned Show all ANRs on, I wonder what will happen).
I hope somebody will find an answer to this problem.
Cheers.
I used to roll with nova launcher too, and i have the impression that when i changed back to stock, things were better.
But still not good enough. There are times that when there is an incoming call, the phone just vibrates, without any ringing.
It seems that the issue was solved in A.1.100 update, as it does not occur anymore. However, sometimes there's some trouble reaching me on the mobile, as if I had no coverage, the calls go to voicemail. Anyone has a solution?
