How do I change the vibration length on emails / sms ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm really used to my Nexus Galaxy vibration for emails etc, it was short enough for me to distinguish between a call and a message fairly quickly. Now I have to wait all those few milliseconds more, but it's enough to make me twitch and reach for my pocket to answer the call, as opposed to knowing I can wait.
Any idea how I can reduce this vibration length? My phone is not rooted

Bluetooth options and vibrate mode modifications.

Here is the deal; my girlfriend is deaf, we both have Moguls (they are awesome). We have a couple of things we are trying to tweak.
1. We purchased a Bluetooth Bracelet (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/9e31/). It is pretty neat, it vibrates when a call is coming in so she can have her phone in her purse or whatever. However, when she gets an SMS it doesn't vibrate (since she is deaf, she doesn't get calls, just gets SMS). The bracelet details say SMS alerts work on some phones... anyone have any ideas to change the SMS to act exactly like phone?
2. (disregard bracelet for this option) We would like to set certain contacts on her phone SMS to alert diffently. For example, if I SMS her it vibrates once, for 3 seconds. If her mom calls, it vibrates twice, for 1 second each, etc. Any suggestions?
You may want to try putting Jetware Mobile on the phone. The reason I say this is that it does have options for transmitting SMS via bluetooth (which does not come standard). Can't say whether it works well because the handsfree in my car doesn't support SMS either.
For the vibration settings, I know that PhoneAlarm has a way to modify the vibrations on the phone, but don't know whether its for all, or can be customized for each contact.
Both of these products are well supported by the developers, and allow you to try before buying.

Problems receiveing calls

Several times when I have received a phone call, I try to answer it, and the ringing stops, and the caller is sent to voicemail.
I don't think I'm doing it wrong, slide down bar to answer call etc. A friend said it was ringing at his end for about 40 seconds, but i only heard it for about 5?! There have been times where I see my phone light up as a call is coming in, but it doesn't ring, and I can't answer the call. I'm expecting some important calls, and don't want to not answer them.
Could it be that the processor is being overwhelmed, and not allowing me to answer/phone not ring. Or is it a fault with the phone, or me?!
1) I have had similar problems.
2) If you do hear or see it ringing, swiping down on the lower 1/4 of the screen seems to work for me. That is, if I swipe down like I normally do to unlock the screen, it won't answer the call. If I swipe down only on the bottom portion of the screen it works ok.
similar problem here. I wonder if you swipe too big, does it pull the lock screen down, and bump the ignore/send to vmail button somehow. not sure why, but its happening to me and it sucks! missed the last 3 calls today bc of it. makes it hard to run a business thats for sure!
I use a phone service that diverts calls simultaneously to my landline and mobile and my landline often gets 2 or 3 rings in before the Hero's trackball starts to flash (although once yesterday they did both manage to ring at nearly the same time). Some of the delay is the mobile network finding the phone, but the phone does seem to take a long time to respond to the incoming call.
One option is to extend the length of time before calls are diverted to voicemail. At http://www.cellular.co.za/gsm_hash_code.htm is a list of GSM Network Codes, which includes, towards the bottom, one for extending the period before calls go to voicemail. It looks like the maximum is 30 seconds. I don't know if there is an equivalent for non-GSM networks.

[Q] Is it possible to determine when user clicks on missed call notification

hi all,
is it possible to receive some broadcast from system when user clicks on missed call notification?
I have been searching for at least a day now without any luck...Here is what I am trying to achieve.
I want to start some action as soon as last missed call is noticed (done).
But then when user clicks on the missed call notification (which shows the phone number and detail) I want to stop the process that I started earlier.
I see that in logcat every time when I click on missed call and it shows the caller info, I see the following entry
//12-11 07:10:19.764: INFO/ActivityManager(2482): Displayed activity com.sec.android.app.dialertab/.calllog.DetailViewActivity: 173 ms (total 173 ms)
Thanks
any one? (Bump)
I guess what you are asking is a pretty complicated thing.
However I would suggest you to wait a response from a more experienced dude than me.
Thanks.
Well its too sad that after 3 days no response..:-(
So since did not get any response, therefore I resorted to be creative. What I have done is set a broadcast receiver when user unlocks the screen and then do whatever I need to do. Currently I think its a fair assumption that when user unlocks the screen, at that point they have seen the missed calls notification hence I presume they are checked or cancelled. I hope some one still provide me the actual answer to my question..I'll wait and see

[Q] How to disable vibration for EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR CALLS

Hello all,
I have a problem. I'd like my phone to only vibrate when I receive calls, and nothing else. Text messages should not trigger the vibration, nor any incoming emails. Only when someone else calls me.
Right now, my phone has vibration COMPLETELY disabled, meaning that even when people call me, it doesn't vibrate.
How can I mess around with the settings such that calls trigger the vibration?
I'm using the stock rom, if it makes a difference. Thanks!
I have disabled the test message vibration, as i use Go sms pro and i have disabled the vibration in it...
so only for calls my phone vibrates.
and for email.. I dont check mails in my mobile usually.. so u can disable vibration in ur email client app too
Individually go to each app settings and disable the vibration
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I never knew that you could individually change the application's vibration settings! That should do the trick.
I currently have the default Messenger App. What I've done , is go to Settings>>Notification Settings>>Select Ringtone>>Silent. I've left the notification under Settings>>Sound to "Vibrate to always", so hopefully that works?
And on a side note, what are the advantages (if any) of using Go SMS Pro over the stock SMS application, besides customizable themes?
Edit: Doing what I've described above does not give me the desired results. The phone still vibrates when text messages arrive.

notifications issues with mate 10 pro

Hi
i have some issues with the mate 10 pro notifications. especially with whatsapp -
from time to time my phone starts the whatsapp incoming massage ringtone (or vibration if its on vibrate mode) and stops halfway through the tone - when i open my phone i see no notification whatsoever.
i came to understand that this happens when i receive whatsapp massages from group chats that are muted (with notifications set to 'do not show notifications') - not every massage from those groups does that but from time to time when its happening its because of those massages (sometime i can see a push notification from those muted chats that disappears quickly - its as if my phone forgets those chats should not give notifications and reminds that after its starting to vibrate and ring)
this is extremely annoying as im getting those vibrates or notification sound even though im not suppose to.
did someone else experienced that? and maybe succeeded fixing that?
bump
anyone?

I don't have a solution, but I have similar issues with WhatsApp notifications. Usually I don't get the LED flashing, but I do see a notification when the phone is unlocked. Occasionally, I get no LED and no notification when the phone is unlocked. These phones have great hardware but rubbish software
Not a Huawei specific issue, had the same bull**** with WhatsApp on both the A8 and the Pixel 2 XL. Was OK on the Mate 10 and S9+.
I assumed it was a Huawei issue, as it's worked perfectly on every other phone that I and my wife have owned. The Huawei software has a habit of killing background processes, even when you tell it not to, so it seemed a reasonable assumption.
