Just bought, rooted and flashed the aokp rom. I went under sound and enable vibrate on touch, but when i pressed the 3 menu buttons it wont vibrate at all like in the store. Only when i select widget does it vibrate, any idea on how to enable haptic feedback?

Had my Galaxy S2 for a few days now and love it. I have come from a Desire HD and the Galaxy blows it out the water.
One question, is there any way to set the sound profile to vibrate only? I can set it to silent, but was wondering if there is a way to have it on vibrate only?
From the home screen pull down the notification bar. At the top of that is one of Samsung's 'cleverly' hidden power controls.
One of them is called 'Sound Vibration. It lets you toggle vibrate on or vibrate off.
Strangely, this single control doesn't exist in the power control widget you can add to a homescreen. Wtf.
Actually what I wrote is partially balls.
Switching that option on fixes the SMS vibrating option. However, when someone rings you the phone vibrates with a ringtone.
Still vexed. Fail.
It could be me but I can't seem to have the option of having:-
SILENT / VIBRATE / SOUND since moving to 2.3?
I used to be able to use volume keys to cycle through and via lockscreen swipe.
Last time I changed sound settings but option seems to have gone....
I can only access vibrate, no silent option. Must just be removed, I for one never used that option.
Although, if you go into setting>sound, you can change the 'Vibrate' option to 'Never' and this will enable complete silence.
Instructions
Go to > Settings > Sound > Vibrate ... Select 'Only when not in Silent mode'
You can then have Silent, Vibrate & Ringer

HTC kept it (along with others, including Cyanogenmod).
I've made an app to emulate it in 2.2+

in settings you need to "enable silent state".
I have to quote myself from another thread, sorry about that!

It'll give you 4 options that also affect the way volume keys and lockscreen works:
1. Always
Your phone will always vibrate, regardless of volume level, so in lockscreen when you slide for silent or pressing the volume keys all the way down, you'll be in vibrate only, never silent.
2. Never
It will never go to vibrate mode, no matter what.
3. Only when silent
Your phone will vibrate when in silent mode, so when you slide for silent in lockscreen or pressing the volume keys all the way down, you'll be in Vibrate Only
4. Only when not in silent
Your phone will vibrate when not in silent mode, so when you slide for silent in lockscreen or pressing the volume keys all the way down, you'll be in Silent Mode, no vibration.

On my other phones, when you keep pushing volume down, the ringer transitions from ring, to vibrate, to silent. But on the the photon, it goes from ring to vibrate. How do I tottaly silence it?
I wish there was a silent toggle. Sometimes I want both the ring to vibrate...but not always. I need a quick toggle.
if you press and hold the power button. it will pop up a menu. sound off is one of the options. you can also set the sounds off using the settings app.
I'd recommend downloading "simple sound profile widget" - it is similar to the profiles back when I had a nextel and a black berry. I put a widget that has the option of normal, silent, or vibrate - very quick and easy!

Or just hold the down volume key and when you feel it vibrate, you will be in Silent mode...
I know what u mean
This option was gone since froyo for some weird reason
Only cm7 brings that way back (via volume rocker)

Oh yeah. Probably would've helped if I read teh manual, but who does that
I wish there was a way to turn on vibrate individually quickly instead of going through the settings.
Huh?! It isn't gone. I use it all the time. Just press and hold the down volume key and it'll switch to Silent Mode...

it either goes ring to silent
or ring to vibrate
as i said back in the day, it would go from ring to vibrate to silent
to the OP, go to settings, sound, and play with the vibrate settings and ull get what u want
Yeah, that's right...
My bad, I didn't really check.
Damn, why'd they remove that feature...

Is there any method to fully disable the vibrate function in ICS? Although it says it's disabled in the settings, it keeps vibrating when i turn of the volume and receive an email for example. I just want it off, at all times.
thx
Wondering this too. Need to turn this off completely. I am getting a loud noise on the top left of tablet when the vibrate goes off.

Go to settings, sound, and uncheck vibrate and ring, and vibrate on touch then retart the tablet. It should not vibrate any more.

That helps for sure, but doesn't disable completely.
For example if you turn the volume on the side of the tablet all the way down it goes off and it will vibrate playing some games.
I'd like to know this too... how to completely disable vibrate at all times (muting, power on/off, in apps, etc).
My vibrate motor started going bad over the last couple days, and now produces an annoying rattle sound.
I don't need the vibrate anyways, so would love to disable it.
Just bought, rooted and flashed the aokp rom. I went under sound and enable vibrate on touch, but when i pressed the 3 menu buttons it wont vibrate at all like in the store. Only when i select widget does it vibrate, any idea on how to enable haptic feedback?
Haptic feedback on the Prime can be pretty weak for most actions, so it might simply be that it's turned on (you've selected the right setting) but not noticeable. I've noticed myself that I can most feel feedback when manipulating home screen items and certain other tasks (like selecting photos in the Gallery app).
Most of the time, I can't feel the feedback when doing things like hitting the buttons. It's also quite inconsistent.
Whats weird though is that i tried it at bestbuy and when i press the home button i can actually feel it vibrate, but nothing is happening right now so maybe its because of the rom?
