Hello everyone at XDA
Got this problem with CM9, didn't really notice it the first week when i installed it but now it suddenly came to me that the vibrate function didn't work when i receive a text message.
This is some info:
Running the latest FXP216 (xperia sola)
Every tiny option that has vibrate in it's name is turned on.
The phone does vibrate if i have the "keyboard vibration" turned on so it's not a phone problem.
The messaging app itself is:
Notifcations on
vibrate: always
vibrate pattern: normal (no difference if i change to average or large)
The profile settings (from the notification bar) don't make a difference either (in vibration mode etc)
Reinstalled CM9 twice completely and wiped phone clean, no difference.
Spend 3 hours today googling for options but no luck.
Don't mind using a third-party app (tried SMS Go but it doesn't vibrate either)
hopefully someone can help me to make it vibrate when receiving messages ;D
Thanks for all the helpfull threads so far.

FIX: finally got it to work after even more googling.
Sound Manager V2 has a vibration option which can be set to always (at ringer sound)
This solved my problem, hopefully people who have this problem can find this helpfull

Hi All,
long time reader, first time poster.
I can normally find the answer to any question I have by just looking though the forum or by googling it.
I've only had my HD2 a few months and am very pleased. After over 6 happy years using the XDA2 I thought it was time for a change.
Here's my question. On the XDA2 when a new text message arrived the screen backlight would come on for the set time & the red alert light would flash until I read the text.
With my HD2 this does not happen, so if I don't hear the text message audio alert I don't know I've got a new text.
Can I change my settings to make this happen on the HD2?
I'm on T-mobile, ROM 1.72.110.4, the only none standard thing about the phone is co0kie's home tab.
thanks in advance,
CJ
don't know about screen, but there is quite nice app to blink keypad on missed call, sms, email etc.: LeoExtendedNotifications
this app will let you turn on extended notifications. it does not work with vibration but audio works good. mite have to install it twice, just go to settings-sounds and notifications and turn on all your sounds as this resets them and turn what you want to repeat.

Ever since I flashed MIUI Revamped LE4 over a previous version of revamped, my notifications (and only my notification) ringtone has stopped working.
I have checked the individual volume for notifications and it is set on max. My phone only vibrates when a text is received - no sounds. I've tried different ringtones with no luck.
Anyone know of a solution to this issue? I flashed the latest revamped MIUI but the problem still persists.
It was probably a bad flash, try flashing again?
I've flashed two different roms, each twice.
Ever figure this out? I've got the same problem on 1.10.14. Flashed it twice. All other tones work fine. When I receive a text msg.the phone vibrates only. I think the ringtone has a bit of a delay also. Maybe 2 rings before it actually sounds . Hard to tell tho cuz I can't hear it . I just know that the incoming call screen is up for a bit before the tone comes thru.
Hello
Now my phone is working again properly after the stability update I still have one nagging little issue.
Is there any way to make the vibration for text alert longer like it used to be before in 4.1.2.
I now only get two little vibrates and they are easily missed if in the pocket. Before it used to give a long single vibrate.
I have tried all the settings I can think of and find but cant seem to change this ?
Thanks
Hi folks,
Is there any way to get decent notifications for messages on the Xperia Z2?
I'm used to old nokias and iphones. If I get a message it plays a sound (if the sound is on) and notifies me on screen. I don't need to turn on and unlock my phone to check if I have a missed message or a missed call.
So far on the Z2 I can just set the vibrate and tone, which is fine if I'm near the phone when I get the message, but if I'm not then I probably won't see it until I unlock the phone to do something, which could be hours later.
Can you set the Z2 to flash the led when there are missed calls/messages, or display something on the screen?
Usability-wise this is right up there with the motorola startac 130, which in my mind is still the most user unfriendly phone in the world.
If this can be done without a root/unlock it would be even better!
you have to activate the LED in setting -> display -> last line (as I can remember)
Try Frozen LED, a free app that let's you control the led notifications.
It let's you set colours and flashing speed for different apps.
Even better is you can set them by name. For example if my wife texts, messages or emails me the led flashes purple 4 times a second. Easy to spot.
One thing that's a love/hate thing for me with this phone is the vibration. It's super loud and powerful. At first I loved it, but at work, it's actually a little obnoxious. Every time I get a text you can hear it from the other side of the room. I know with some phones there's options for pattern and intensity.. haven't seemed to find this. Anyone have an idea? I know I could also turn off vibrate notifications and just put the ring volume lower, but that can be just as distracting. And then I have to change it back to vibration on when I leave work.
Also one of my big issues is with the keyboard disappearing after every text I send. I'm using the stock Sense keyboard. I'm unsure if this is controlled by the keyboard itself or the messaging app. Normally this phone is super speedy, but every text I send, the keyboard disappears, and then it requires about 3 seconds before I can load it back up again if I'm sending back to back texts. I've seen this option in other messaging apps to hide/keep the board after sent message. Anyone see this functionality anywhere?
I've got everything stock, btw.
