Currently, I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time. However, some people send me way too many texts which can be annoying. Is there a way to silence the vibration for certain contacts? I don't want to block their texts, I just don't want my phone to vibrate for those select contacts.
Bump... bump...
idk about for individuals but if you get chompsms (LOVE IT.) and turn off your other messenger, in chompsms settings you can go to notifications and vibrate pattern, hit custom and u type in how many seconds on/off it vibrates, for a quiet vibrate i put about
.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015,.015 for a very long time, personally at the end i put ".075,.075,.075,.075 for two louder but still quiet and short vibrates at the end

Thanks for the ChompSMS recommendation it doesn't seem to provide a way to silence individual contact notifications. Any other suggestions?
search sms blocker in the market place theres an award winning one with a lot of features.

Thank you for your suggestions as they led me to an app called Vibe which may do the trick!

Any app that will let you adjust how long the vibrate on an in coming call will last? The default just ain't cutting it.

I turned off mine. When I get a call.
And I've never heard of one app that could do that. But who knows.

What I mean is like long short long vibrate. Something that will pulse til it got my attention.

I used to use an app called Missed Call on my droid to make custom settings for my contacts before handcent added that feature. I only text really so call settings don't matter to me but if I remember correctly, it has settings for everything from email to call to texts.
Just looked in the market and it seems to have been abandoned. You could still give it a try.
I would love to have repeating alerts for missed calls, texts, and calendar events. I found a reference to having Tasker do this but before I go this route I wanted to see what other apps people are using for this function?
Agreed. I should probably take the time to figure out how to do this with tasker, but if there is a simpler solution it would be nice.

Missed Call Reminder looks like it may do the trick. Going to try it out...
Anyone use this app yet?
Try Missed Message Flasher Free, in the Android Market. I been using it forever and I love it.

Easy reminder does texts and missed calls. Calendar alerts I am not sure of.

noled has the option to have audio only reminder notifications
GO SMS has settings for this.
i found an app called Flashlight Alerts (search on xda) but it flashes your camera flash when you receive a text or phone call (sadly theres no way to have it repeat a flash every few min to remind you though, yet)
I'm really hoping there is a fix/solution for this because this makes absolutely no sense.
While on a phone call, the "notification" for text is so incredibly loud (through my headphones) that it hurts my ears. Now please don't tell me to just set the notification volume low because then I wouldn't be able to hear the notifications when I'm NOT on a phone call.
It seems incredibly ridiculous that one cannot adjust notification volume when on a phone call. On my blackberry while on a call, it would produce a soft chime if I receive a message but it's soft and just loud enough so I am aware of the incoming text. With this phone, it screams in my ear! And to make things worse, if I put the phone on speaker or handset, the notification screams through the speakers and the person on the call says what the hell was that???
Is the only option to adjust the notification volume down EVERY TIME I MAKE OR RECEIVE A PHONE CALL... or go deaf (or annoy the people I'm on a call with)?
Please tell me there is a real solution because I can't find one.
You can turn them off

I don't want to turn off notifications altogether. I just don't want them going off at the standard set volume while on a call... because it's blaring loud.

I downloaded GOSMS PRO and inside this app there is a setting to set to vibrate while on call... This app is much better than the stock messaging..IMO.

ahh, so go sms replaces the stock messaging system? i don't want that. but i do want the same thing that pj is looking for.
looks like there is nothing that can be done for it pj :-\
the only thing i can find to help you is, goto Settings / Sound / Notification Ringtone. now when you are on that menu, turn your volume rocker down. you will see that the "Notification volume" can go down (or up).
that is all i can find, should help some
Using tasker you can change the volume level during a call and set it higher after...

Any app out there that will do this? What about ability to turn screen on with long press of Home Button?
Try notify lite. Its free in the market. If i recall, there's an option to turn on screen when notifying. I used it with my Photon, it worked pretty good on that phone.

not just using the stock messaging app. But you could probably use a notification app to make it vibrate
But why dont you just put your phone on vibrate?

i dont want it to vibrate all the time i want them to vibe when my phone as a whole is in that mode
so is the only way to get this thing to vibrate during texts is to have it set that way all the time..ignore my original post cause vibrating in silent is not what i ment..i just want my texts to vibe when i put the rest of the phone on vibe and not have to have texts vibe on all the time

That's how it works. It will vibrate on vibrate, be silent on silent, and ring when it is in regular mode.
