[Q] Stock 4.3 Text Alert Vibration - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Couple of niggles with S3, anyone got solutions?

I'v got a couple of things really winding me up with my S3 I wonder if anyone has a solution.
1) The stock SMS app doesn't seem to honour the vibrate style setting I have, I set it to heartbeat but text messages still use the looong horrible vibrate.
2) Why does the damn notifications toggles scroll EVERY time i open it? I'm used to very quickly swiping this and hitting wifi or bluetooth on or off and now I miss them cause it starts sliding to show me the other buttons that I already know are there!
I'm not interested in flashing non-stock roms and I'd prefer to stick with Stock SMS so just wondered if anyone had found solutions to these yet?

[Q] JellyBAM - any way to STOP the led option completely?

I just installed JellyBAM today and so far it's working great, but theres one 'feature' that I really don't prefer and I can't seem to figure out how to stop it. As we all know the AT&T GNote 1 was released without a notification LED. JellyBAM has a feature that makes the buttons at the bottom of the phone blink every so often when you get an email, text, etc. I've gone into the LED section of the settings and tried setting the On, and Off settings to OFF and I still get a blink from time to time. I don't want this. I tend to get a lot of email at night, and I don't want my phone's buttons blinking on and off all night.
Is there any way to just disable this completely? Thanks for any help.

You might want to take your question to the jellybam forum as that rom is not supported on xda

[Q] Vibrate problem

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

[Q] Vibration and keyboard/sms questions

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.

No notifications during chat conversation?

I am using a note 3 with stock 5.0 rooted..
When I get a text.. My phone vibrates and played my notification sound... This works fine.. However.. When I am done reading a text sometimes I just set my phone down with the conversation still open.. And when I receive a new text the phone assumes I am just looking at the conversation because it's open and doesn't give me any kind of notification or vibration what so ever... My girlfriend has got upset on more than one occasion be a use I didn't text her back.. Cause I would check the phone then set it down and then she would text me like 3 times and my phone doesn't tell me.
How can I get it to make a sound or vibrate for every text? Regardless if the app is open or not
bump... would really appreciate some help on this
Yes, my phone on android 5.0 behaves the same.
Generally after reading a text, I usually press home button or lock the screen to make sure i don't miss such notifications..
