Weird thing started today where my phone won't vibrate when getting a notification. Haptic feedback still works. I have made no changes and tried pulling the battery. What are the next steps I should try? Clear cache and delvik cache? I am running CM7.

It will vibrate for phone calls when sound is off but nothing for notifications so this probably isn't a hardware problem.

Clearing caches did not work. I restored a nandroid from a month ago and everything is back to normal. I have absolutely no idea what caused the problem. The only app I remember updating yesterday was Beautiful widgets and I doubt that would cause any problem.
That happen to me once when I installed an app and I set the APP not to vibrate it end up shutting vibrate off for everything!!!!
If you're on a CM7 go to the app called "Sound Manager" press your menu key then press "Vibrate settings" you'll see "Notification Settings" and 3 bubbles. If it's set to "Don't Vibrate" there's your problem.
If your on a stock rom or a rom that doesn't come with "Sound Manager" you could download it here~

Make sure that in the settings that you have vibrate enable.

If your Vibrant has been acting up recently, not vibrating for SMS/Emails, or just plain not vibrating at all - I may have found a fix that doesn't require a HARD RESET.
I searched and searched the Vibrant forums as this morning, I was having a MAJOR problem as far as my vibrations not working for my SMS or GMail. I changed NOTHING - I installed NO APPS, yet for some reason this morning, i stopped getting vibrations.
Just wanted to let you guys know my phone was set up for perfect notifications, with vibration checked in EACH individual program, and overall vibration checked for notifications and ringtones. Vibrate for SMS wasn't working for silent / vibrate / or ringer mode.
I saw that this may be an unresolved issue, and found a few posts on other forums addressing the issue.
Go to Market
Download "Sound Manager"
Run it
Press menu
Vibrate settings
make sure under BOTH ringer and notification vibrate, you have "VIBRATE WHENEVER POSSIBLE" checked.
This fixed all of my vibration problems, now it's super vibratey again lol.
Hope this helps, saw a few of you had still unanswered posts regarding loss of vibration.
Thanks for the tip!
I've been screwing around with my settings all morning trying to figure out why the hell my phone vibrations were not working correctly. A search on this forum led me to this post.
Followed your instructions and problem solved. Thanks a bunch.
Is their actually a place in the stock settings where you can select vibration alerts for incoming text messages and email messages?
For SMS, go into the main Messaging screen (where it shows the seperate threads for each contact) and hit the menu key. Then go to settings. The last option is for vibration.

Ah, never looked at the menu before. Thanks!
Awesome worked for me. Thanks
There's also an app called "Quick Settings" that fixes the vibration for this phone.

The GMail app also has the vibrate option.
fixed and no need to keep the sound manager installed if not wanted
Fixed my problem here, Galaxy S Vibrant. I recall downloading sound manager a week or so ago and uninstalled the same day. Was pleased to find that reinstalling, leaving the may vibrate whenever button checked, and uninstalling the program lead to good vibrations. plz 4give me This site has been a great resource, TY all
lol i just rebooted my phone...
So i have set vibrate whenever possible checked for both options and have checked vibrate on the menu>settings and sms>menu>settings etc. But it still doesnt vibrate when i received texts or called in vibrate mode. when i adjust volume on the side, it doesnt vibrate when i turn it down to the vibrate setting. also, haptic doesnt work. could my vibrating mechanism be broken or something? or is it a software problem?
I use my phone as a vibrator.

Did you flash a new ROM? I'm not familiar with galaxy y??
I approve this message.
I'm running DAS BAMF 1.2.1
For some reason, when adjusting the sound profile from the home screen with the volume rocker to vibrate, the phone doesn't vibrate to confirm you're setting it to that.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I could have swore it did this in stock.
Anyone else?
Sent from my ROOTED Thunderbolt.
Can't confirm that bug with Das Bamf, but yes, the stock OS and my debloat both will vibrate to confirm that you've reduced the ring volume down to the "vibrate" setting.
Are you sure you're not setting it to silent which comes before vibrate? Only thing I could think of to suggest because mine still vibrates when I set it to vibrate from the home screen using the volume rocker and I'm using BAMF also.

yeah make shure u dont stop before vibrate on silent
Well, my volume toggle is setup as vibrate-silent-(low-high). Like, the lowest setting.

Do you think a reflash of the most recent kernel or rom would fix this for me? Sounds like I'm the only one with this problem.
Sent from my ROOTED Thunderbolt.
Ahh, just did a test receiving call on vibrate and it doesn't. Going to do a reboot then reflash.

Never mind. I just went into settings and unchecked then rechecked everything again and it now confirms vibrate.

Hi,
as the title already says, my phone vibrates during calls. It happens about 1 time per minute (but doesnt seem to be a minute counter!) and i've got no Idea, why this keeps happening!
Do you have the same effect (vibrating) as i do?
What is this "feature" about?
How can i stop it from happening?
Thank you,
Linkin
till now I found three vibration settings used for different apps / situations etc, for example message notification vibration, soft key feedback etc-
To turn off Notification vibrate: Messaging > Menu key > Settings > Untick Notification vibration
To turn off Ringtone vibrate: Settings > Sound > Vibrate > Never
To turn off the vibrating when tapping the screen: Settings > Sound > Untick Haptic Feedback
Thanks.
I found these three settings too but none of them explains why it vibrates during calls... Only explanations I could think of is that I touch the screen by mistake...
Does anyone have similar behavior of his phone and can contribute to this?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
if the proximity sensor working the screen should turn off when your face is near, therefore no accident touching the screen. could it be the other buttons being touched by accident? the volume buttons, camera, home, back, and menu buttons...
Its definitely not the camera or volume button but I kepp it under surveillance... Maybe i'm touching the back or menu key by accident...
Thanks for the answers!

Bzzz
hehe I've tried something a little more funky: I had a call a few days ago, and the vibrator started buzzing as soon as i drew the phone close to my face and the closer the harder it buzzed
I had to hold the phone at 2-4 centimeters to be able to hear what was being said over the vibrator
It haven't happened again, but then I've also "repaired" the phone with SEUS to see if that helped with receiving calls in the first place(screen didn't respond on several calls).
I have had this happen a few times too, no idea what it is though?! lol
It keeps happening sometimes, but not as much as before... I guess it was related to touching the softkeys!
I changed haptic feedback to off and it doesnt viabrate at all now
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Mhm but this indicates touching the Display and NOT thouching the soft keys, right?

Haptic feedback includes the capacitive buttons.

So I just bought this Photon, and it will not vibrate. My settings are as follows: settings --> sound --> vibrate always is checked // text messages --> messaging settings --> also vibrate when notified is checked
I have tried two factory resets, one through UI, one through fast boot. I just did the OCR and tried it that way.. no luck. The phone does not vibrate on messages, haptic feedback, restarts, or phone calls.
Vibrate was, unfortunately, not top on my list of things to check before purchasing the damn thing. Now, I've got it, and I'd really love some help and direction. Thanks in advance
:beer:
are you able to volume down andset the phone to vibrate?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yes, and it shows vibration mode, but no actual vibration... as I was playing around with it today, I noticed that there's something loose inside the casing of the phone that is moving around when I shake it. I'm beginning to think that this is a hardware issue...
Does it give you feedback when you type? If not, I would say its a hardware issue and you should take it back.
I'm using stock ELLA rom with latest siyah kernel. My phone is in "Sound" mode now and "Sound and vibration" option checked in sound settings. WhatsApp notification setting for vibration is set to "system default". My phone doesn't vibrate when i receive a message. If i set my phone to "vibrate" mode via toggle it works fine. Or if i set custom vibration in whatsapp setting it also works.
I know my vibration is not broken. I wiped dalvik cache, factory reset, even with different roms i couldn't get it to work. Btw if i use 23 toggles and activate "Sound&Vibration" it vibrates and play sounds as it should. Is it a samsung framework issue or am i the only one with the problem?
Any solution will be appreciated.
I'm having the exact same issue.
EDIT
Actually now, it vibrates only when he wants. Without touching literally nothing sometimes it vibrates and sometimes doesn't.
Lately my WhatsApp wasn't vibrating at all when sound on so I found a temporal solution, which is to install "Sound Manager" and in vibrating settings set all to "whenever possible".
just let LightFlow handle the notifications

Is it possible to set this at boot without the need to open "Sound Manager" and in vibrating settings set all to "whenever possible"???
I don't know...maybe some other so that can run this as a task...
Any suggestions??
