[Q] sms vibration doesn't work - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi. I'm using MiniCM7-2.1.7 ROM over nAa kernel v9 (x10 mini pro)
Call vibration works fine, but sms vibration doesn't work. My vibration option is set to 'always'.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Could be your messaging app. I'm on MiniCM7Pro and the messaging app that comes with it has vibrate turned off by default.

u can use go sms pro which will automatically start vibration on ur mobile
if not go to the cm settings and sound setting and u can find notification settings where u can set vibration to ur notification which means messages

Thank you guys for your answers. I found an option (not cm settings) where the notifications vibration was off. Just opened stock messaging app and pressed menu button for settings. (((SOLVED)))
Now I'd like to know your opinion about GO SMS. Some months ago y tested it...worked fine for a few days, and then it blocked my incoming sms . It said that my sms memory was full, or something like that. I erased messages, and could not fix it.
Now I'm testing it again. I love the custom led color notification, based on recipient, and other options.
Did you guys have any issue with GO SMS? Do you recommend this app?
Thanks a lot!

I had a feeling it was the messaging app that was at fault..
I don't what's causing the problem with GO SMS, but it may be worth trying Handcent SMS instead. The two apps are very similar (to the point where you start to wonder if it's deliberate) and you still have all the options for customising your notifications.
Handcent doesn't have the social network bits that GO SMS has, but I can attest to its stability as I've been using it for the best part of a year without any problems at all.

Thanks Tickefish for your help.

[Q] BLN + SMS apps

I recently started using bln on the dead horse kernel. I noticed that bln only works for SMS with the stock SMS app. Its a no go with chompsms and go SMS. Is there any way to get blind to work with third-party SMS apps?
Vibrant + Darky 9.3 VE + Dead Horse Kernel + KA7 Modem + XDA App
Works fine with GO SMS for me.
Make sure you have LED notifications turned on in the notification settings in the app of your choice.
Works perfectly fine with Handcent, but I'm rocking the Overstock.

That was the problem. Thanks!
where are the notification settings that you are talking about?
on calls it works for me but i cannot get chompsms working. =/
In the GO sms helped me disable unlock screen and disable screen on in settings -> notification settings -> default notification settings. You could try to find a similar setting in Chompsms.
I also don't have the option in BLN Pro to activate for SMS (i.e. Handcent). It only has notifications for Calls. How can I enable it too for Handcent?

[Q] How to disable stock SMS app notifications?

Hi,
I have Go SMS Pro installed and disabled sound notifications in the stock Messaging app, however... When I get new messages and read them in Go SMS, I get a notification icon in the stock App (number of new unread messages) as well as in the social Hub, to which the stock messaging app belongs as well.
Any ideas how to disable it?
Use titanium back up and freeze the " badgetProvider". But it will give u forceclose notification everytime u get a message.
So another words, there is no menu option for doing this

Hi I also use Go SMS pro, and was hoping bypass the use of the stock messaging app.
Have you had any joy with this? Also is it possible to change the default homescreen icon for messages to open GO SMS Pro instead of the stock?
TIA
I use Go SMS Pro, too. But I don't have any problem having a notification coming from the stock messaging. What I did is I unchecked all the boxes from the menu of the stock. That's what I did from my old x10i, too. Works well for me.

As above, this sorted out the issue for me.
In the settings for the stock messing client uncheck the notifications box and that should get rid of it

Go to the App Drawer, press Menu button, tap Edit, you can then drag and drop GO SMS icon over the stock one.
I like GO SMS Pro i always used this with my HD2 but the stock SMS on the GS2 is a massive improvment on previous android efforts and i think ill keep this.
Just uncheck the notification setting in the stock sms menu?

Chomp SMS not making phone vibrate or make screen come alive

I have just installed Chomp SMS on my samsung s2 running andyx v12 rom, its my first time using a different sms app and i do really like chomp a lot and would like to keep it, on my phone i have 2 issues though.
1. in the notifications settings i have notifications ticked and i have vibrate set to always vibrate. The problem i am having is when i get a text, i get the status bar notification but my phone doesnt vibrate at all which i have always relied on a lot when at work etc..
2. also in the notification settings there an option for screen comes on which i have ticked, it says that if the phone is off, it will come alive breifly when i get a text, but my phone isnt doing that either.
When i used the stock sms all these things worked, i have turned notifications off on my stock sms as i had read this was best so you dont get 2 notifications.
in my system settings vibrate is also set to on for notifications etc..
does anyone know what could be the issue, or are my above questions actually just the way chomp works?
thanks

[Q] S3 notifications & vibration controls are a mess

I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.
try this....

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how

[REQUEST] (Xposed) mods for sms app with these options

Hi,
Lately i discovered the Xposed mod and am very happy with the availability off mods for it.
I would like to ask if some off you mod creators could have a look at my problems with sms app and maybe create a mod for one of these ?
I've been with Android for some months now and really enjoy using it but when it comes to sending an sms, Android seems to think sms is just another app like facebook or skype but it's the only thing (besides calling) that works on every phone & on every platform and with every provider.
-> I would be very happy if someone could make a mod to get delivery reports inside call/sms logs so i can check when an sms was delivered.
Best example is Newyear, you send an sms to everyone in your phone but on android you'll never know if it got delivered because there is no delivery reports log (i think). And as soon as you touch that notification it's gone forever and you didn't even see when/if/who it got delivered.
-> I found an xposed mod wich puts the sms ringtone on the same volume slider as the calling ringtone, wich is a great change, finally no more other apps that need high volume because sms needs to sound loud BUT i love to have a separate volume slider for sms (dunno if this is possible in a mod?)
-> when my device is in use and i get an sms, nothing shows up on my screen, only in notifications. my notifications bar is set to auto hide so if sound is off i don't even notice i got an sms. So maybe a mod that show the popup from lockscreen also when the device is not locked ? (i know there are probably some apps for this, but i prefer something working directly from the firmware instead off installing tons off extra apps).
-> if i use a long sms tune, it keeps playing till i unlock the phone and open the sms, it would be nice if it stopped as soon as i touch the sms widget on the lockscreen, or even better stop when i touch/unlock the phone.
Dunno if any off this is possible ? if so many thanks in advance for trying !
