Anyone here use the G Watch with a Nexus 5 and use Textra as your SMS app? I do and cannot seem to get the phone to vibrate when I get a text. I have my phone to only vibrate when in vibrate mode and to not vibrate when the sound is on. No matter in what mode I am in, the phone does not vibrate. I even tried to change the vibrate pattern since I saw that it was a solution for WhatsApp but that did not help. Any guidence?

Heyy all,if this already being asked before then I couldn't find it so please point me in the right direction.
A few days ago my phone stopped vibrating when I received SMS. I thought I might of knocked it off in the setting or something but after checking to find that it was still turned on I got confused. I've done nothing to the phone which could kill the phone vibrating when I receive a SMS. The phone vibrates when my alarm goes off and every other thing but not when I receive a SMS. I've checked in the service menu as well to see if vibrate worked there and it does. So does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem as I rely on my phone vibrating to answer my texts.
Cheers
Hi, I don't know if there's an "official" way to do it, but I use AudioGuru to set all volume and vibration settings. Next to the ringtone slider is a symbol of a vibrating phone, and it can be activated or deactivated. Same story with the slider below, which refers to sms: you can check if it's activated or not.
It is activated though. I use Light flow which changes the LED light when I get a notification but it also sets what the notification does like vibrate and such. My ohone vibrates in ever other situation expect when I receive a text.

Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If you manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
I honestly don't know how to fix this very annoying problem. I just want the vibration to be active at all times!
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

just change your settings to mute ringtone and media volume for a diffrent profile that you dont use
I tried that, and it doens't work.
I've also reset to factory default, with no luck.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Anyone?

Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?

I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?

I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications
No vibration but just card showing up with text messages. I get vibration and card with emails just fine though. All settings are set to vibrate and the phone (Note 3) vibrates just not the G watch. Please help!

You have to set the vibrate settings for each individual app. If you use hangouts eg then make sure vibration is enabled in hangouts. Which sms app do you use?
I figured it out by accident actually. The phone has to be on complete silent mode without vibration notice in order for it to buzz on the watch. The messaging app has the vibration notice checked but my phone volume had to be in silent mode.
