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.

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.
Am trying to de-activate vibration for notifications while having notification sounds active - previous devices I've used have had the option to keep sound on (notifications, calls, alarms) but turn off vibration completely, whereas I can't find a way to leave sound on but turn vibration off.
Most notifications are for Whatsapp, have turned off Vibration for all settings I could find within Whatsapp settings. Can't find anything that relates specifically to Vibration in the Xperia settings though. Am running stock standard setup for the Compact (just purchased a few days ago).

If you're receiving vibration when sound is on, it's the app causing it. The regular "sound on" profile is for sound only. Your app should not vibrate unless you set the device to the vibrate profile but a lot of apps do it anyway. I don't use those apps.
I recently purchased infinix note 7 and the issue i am facing is on incoming whatsapp message my phone give sound notification but screen wont wake up although i set priority notification for whats app in both whatsapp and mobile setting .i also turned off notification push block for whatsapp. For sms (messages) screen wake up
Lately I've noticed that I'm getting notification sounds from messaging apps even while on vibrate, only media volume is up, the rest are muted, and this only happens while the phone is locked, anyone else ??
Not here. Which app? Did you check the settings within the app?
