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??

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've googled everything. Can't seem to find a viable solution.
I'm running ICS XXLPB (not rooted) and the only thing that basically vibrates while on normal mode (silent mode vibrations do work fine) are incoming calls. No type of notifications seem to vibrate.
I've checked in-app settings and sound settings and everything seems to be set correctly, but for some odd reason the phone doesn't vibrate on notifications and it's very annoying :'(
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

To get vibration when you receive a message, you have to set 'vibrate always' in message settings
Thank me if I helped

I'm on the S II (T989) as well running ICS 4.0.3 and I've had the same annoying problem. Interesting that you don't see the question being asked or information on it in too many places. I factory reset my phone before I found this answer. Installed SoundManager V2 and immediately the vibration mode for notifications was available and now works.
Hard to believe such a core feature problem wouldn't have been fixed in a firmware update?!
Next step is that I'm going to root it and go to Cyanogen Mod!!! Can't wait!!!
Appreciate the post!:good:
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.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
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.
Hi all,
I have a problem with the vibration of the device.
It vibrates when I receive calls (I put the heartbeat vibration), but it doesn't for anything else.
I've tried to use any possible mode (silent, vibration, loud), and tried disabling and enabling the vibration from the "Sound" menu and from individual applications, but found no fix for this so far.
Same thing happened one month ago but I don't remember in which way I made it work by playing with the settings.
Anyone ever faced this problem before?
Any idea about the resolution?
Thanks a lot.

have you tried under sound settings to enable auto haptic(the last one) and tick with V whatever app that doesn't vibrate?
and offcourse, try to reinstall the SMS app and define the incoming settings that'l support vibrate.

Thanks for your reply.
I guess I fixed it again, but I don't know in which way.
Among the things I have done there are:
- put the volume at the max and untick and tick again the "Sound and Vibration" in "Sound" menu (which I suppose gave the fix)
- Activated the Haptic feedback
- Activated the Auto Haptic feedback for some applications
- changed the "Device Vibration" in "Sound" menu
- increased to the max the vibration intensity for every voice in "Sound" menu
The menu names/voices may be different since I'm using the italian language on my phone.
I just wanted to share with you all in case someone face the same problem again.
Thanks a lot again

Hi All,
I´ve flashed deodexed XWLS8 stock from here and I am experiencing vibration during call when a new message comes in.
I am not able to disable it even if I have turned off notifications during call.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The only way to turn off the vibration completely is to select the message app then menu/settings and scroll down towards the bottom till you find "vibrate" butonce you untick it you wont have vibration at all.
I think it vibrates anyway when you have it turned on.
thanks but I don´t think that is right. The setting you are suggesting WILL turn off vibration for that app completely.
I don´t think it should be vibrating when I am speaking to someone else, its very annoying.
Thanks!
If its set to vibrate in settings it will vibrate no matter what.In the latest firmware releases Samsung have changed the system.UI so this could also change the behaviour of things compared to previous firmwares.
