Hi there.
My Sony Xperia S does not vibrate for incoming text messages. The options in
Messages-> settings -> vibration notification is checked.
Also in Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate -> always on .
The phone neither vibrates when sound is ON nor when it is OFF..
Rest it vibrates for incoming calls and keypad touch..
Please HELP..!!!
Go to the messaging app, press the menu button and choose settings. In there youll find the vibrate settings for messages
But agreed. Makes no sense that there isn't a shortcut from the settings app or something

try this solution
I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull
DONE..!!!
Finally m done with it..
Factory reset was done..it works now...

Now that I've upgraded to 2.1, I've noticed something weird. When the phone is on vibrate and I receive a text message it doesn't vibrate anymore, but when getting a call it vibrates. HUH?
I was gonna post this in the 2.1 after effect but I figured it would get lost in that huge thread.
Thanks.
There is a setting in the Messenger app called Notification Vibration, maybe that has to be turned on in order for it to vibrate for text messages even if the phone is set to vibrate?
Thank you JDDawn, that was it.
Where is this setting
Go to messaging press the menu key and go to settings go to notification settings then scroll down to vibrate and click always

I have litening Rom 5 installed & running Go Launcher. I notiiced that when I was receiving text messages or when it was on silent I did not get the vibration alert. I then changed the settings so that the its set to vibration always and the icon appears on the top. However when I go into the pull down screen the sound icon is gone?
All I want is to be able to put the phone in silent and it will vibrate when I receive a text message or a phone call. The same goes when its not in silent. Also how can I tell if phone is in silent mode as its not given me the sound icon on the pull down menu?
Is it something simple I am missing more than likely
Confused
If the option in Dropdown menu is missing then just hold Power button, you will see the first option as Silent mode/Sound is Off/On.
And I didn't get you clearly on the SMS vibration part, just make sure that 'Vibrate always' is enabled under Settings- Sound- Vibration.
Regards.
Is it possible?
As further info, I have set it to vibrate at incoming calls but I can't set it to not vibrate in incoming SMS.
My bank sends me SMS each time my credit card is used. Many companies charge my card at the beginning of the day (i.e. 00:01 hours) and that time I am on bed and the vibration annoys me.
When I go to message settings there is no option for vibration, only ringtone settings, which I have set to silent.
When I open the message app and go to settings I have an option "Also vibrate when notified". That's the stock messaging app on 2.3.6.
Archer, thanks for replying. I am on 2.3.3 and there is no such setting. Can you tell me under which tab do you see it?

It's just the stock messaging app. I go into settings and scroll down to the bottom.
So I have been having this problem since I got my phone. I can set my phone to vibrate in the setting yet it refuses to vibrate when silent or when receiving a text message. The examples work in the settings but fails to actually happen in a real life situations. I tried installing Sms Pro to fix this yet it still doesn't work.
With a text message or something else like Google Talk? Mine will vibrate with a new text message using the stock app.
Go to the main conversation page in messages -> menu -> settings -> notification settings -> change the vibrate settings to your liking. For some reason the vibrate settings for messages is separate from the global settings for notifications in the main settings of the phone.

Thank you for the help but i have set it in the notification setting in sms pro and it has done nothing. Also there is no option for vibrate in the stick messaging app's settings. I have juice defender installed i thought maybe that could be contributing to it though when disable it still wont vibrate. I appreciate the help but i'm kinda at my wits end with this.
Just checked and you are right, there is no vibrate setting in the stock messaging app. However, if you select the option "display notifications in status bar" it uses the vibrate setting from the main phone settings - all status bar notifications do.
I just sent myself a text message and it definitely vibrates.
lol I am trying to figure out how to disable message virbation...
Setting>sound>vibration> Always/Never/Only in silent mode/ only when NOT in silent mode ... mines set on always and it always vibrates lol

Exactly. When "display notifications in status bar" is set in the messaging app, the main phone settings will enable - or disable - vibration. For better or for worse this means you can't turn it on or off for texts w/o also turning it on or off for all other status bar notifications...
Handcent is working for me, with customizable vibration.

doing that, the phone will still vibrate when switched backed to sound mode only. I consulted this problem @Samsung Touch, MOA Philippines but they dont know how to fix it.
