for some reason my phone doesn't vibrate even though its set to vibrate as i recieve messages.
anyone have a clue ? and is there any notification software i can default to ?
No real answers here i'm afraid.... but you can try this:
1) i assume the vibrate works? when you get a call/txt etc?
2) Turn off the vibrate for e-mails, soft reset, then re-enable vibrate, then send yourself an e-mail and see.
3) If that doesnt work, try editing the registry for the notification (again, set it to not vibrate, reset, then change to vibrate and test)
finally, as i have disabled all notifications for e-mail (i manually check mine when required & dont need to to prompt me as i'd be looking at it!), i dont know if it will vibrate when you get a new e-mail if you already have unread e-mails.
Good luck!
try this, it worked for me
"With a registry editor go to
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications
Go through the keys till you find the one for the new email notifications, (look at each key and check the "Default" REG_SZ). You will see an Options DWORD with a number like 5362464 or something. Change the it to anything under 13 (mine is 5). Save and close then go to Sounds & Notifications to set how you want to be notified and it should work.
You can also delete the AvailableOptions dword to enable all options in the Sound & notification screen.
Please use at your own risk, this worked for me but may fail for you."
thanks for the feed back , im about to flash nrg's 52209 build and then try the registry because the first suggestion didn't work :[ thanks anyway !:]

Wonder if there are ways to show incoming sms messages right on screen when they arrive... Currently I need to hit multiple buttons before I can read the sms message. Thanks!

hi,
install this and you have option wake up device on SMS (or something like this)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Whenever I got an SMS it automatically displayed the contents on the screen, I don't remember where the setting was but I liked that more. There's a common tweak for wake up on SMS, just search "Raphael Tweaks" and you'll come up with it.
turn it on in the sounds and notifications settings (where you change ringtone, message tone etc).
tick 'display message on screen'
Thanks much everybody!
Hey guys I know you probably know where stuff in the registry is that I would never be able to find but what I'm trying to do is stop the notifications I get both the icon in the start bar and the bubble notification, for my new mail coming from outlook exchange 07 and text messages both receiving and being sent. I know I saw other options for notifications you can turn off, so I'm wondering if anyone know how to do this. I mean why are they even there TF3D shows you what you have haha.
You can toggle turning all these notifications on or off using Schaps advanced config. Download it from here
Really? sweet I just installed this to do those TF3D performance tweaks so I guess I just need to go looking deeper to find them, scary haha.
I just looked through everything and it seems all in order, like when it says show icon for some stuff its labeled as no, so I guess I'm missing something because I still get notifications/icons for when i have new/unread mail
Two things you can try:
1. Go to Start-->settings-->Personal-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications
Messaging: New E-mail Message & uncheck Display Message on screen.
2. Try this registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 0
To enable again
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailabl e = 1
I think this should disable all sms notifications.
Give it a shot.
Found this too. I think this should just about hit the nail on the head for you.

Hi..stupid question but i cannot seem to get my phone to vibrate whenever I receive a text or notification..can someone tell me where i can go to set this?
I tried going into settings, sound and display but i do not have vibrate as a selection in the notification ringtone tab.
Is there an app i can download that allows me to customize my sounds?
thanks!
the settings for notifications are within each messaging application. if you go to your sms application, hit the options button and go into settings. at the bottom you will find the notification settings, including vibrate and a ringtone selection. notifications for each of your messaging apps are configured this way.

Nothing you can do about that in android. Thats the default android vibrate for notifications. I think it sucks too, its way too short and too soft of a vibration.
What you can do is install SMS Popup. Go into settings on that app and enable notifications on it. It has more options for SMS notifications, like you can set a really long vibration. Just remember to then go into the Android messaging app and turn off notifications there, otherwise you'll get double notifications. This will only help fix the problem for SMS messages. I think android still sucks on incoming notifications for other items like emails, etc.
I REALLY like SMS Popup, its great.
whats the best custom setting. i am trying to set it so it virbates alot and i can feel it
Ok so I looked around the search tool in general forums, could not find anything.
Q1. how can I disable the vibrate on touch screen when moving an app?
Q2. how to disable vibrate when receiving a phone call? I have un-checked the vibrate for all that I can find. now I have notice that when its in pocket to does but when its out of pocket on my desk I dont get a vibrate. I see the un-checked for increase sound when in pocket.
Q3. How do I set up the text messages for the FB icon to show the profile pic when I text someone. I had it before but dont remember how to set it back I did the link and sync to FB and FB sense still shows a grey person when I text someone.
also Q is a little different but what about changing the slide down to answer a call or just to unlock your screen I know about widget locker but can I just change the lock screen.?
Also I dont as instant alerts for emails for EX: I have made this thread and went to the email part and click instant email notification some times I ll refresh the page on the pc and I would see someone replied and but still email alert untill I open the mail icon. any reasons why I did do some adjustments to the peak and off peak still not a 100% sure on what the really telling me.
thanks for the help.
It has been like this for awhile, but it hasn't really been bothering me I guess until now I realized the importance of it, which I should of done this long ago cause it's been like this for a couple of months. Notifications are on, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
So, with notiication, do you mean just the sound and vibration? Or also the message in the upper tray?
It's not much information. So here are some possibilities:
- you have installed a skin and have not selected any sounds.
- in the accessability men you have set: play no sounds/feedback at all (it's for deaf people)
- You have some kind of do not disturb mode on, without the notification in the tray saying so.
- You have backgrond syncing of, and now apps only sync when you use them. So you get no notification.
- sound settings and vibration settings are off (not likely of course)
- the phone is instructed to play notifications to another device (watch or some other bluetooth device)
- your phone is not working properly. Try to restore to factory default and see if it is something in the software, or hardware. If not working after reset, ==> waranty
EDIT: in the title you say: when I get a message. you mean text message? NOtification sounds can be changed. Sms messages can have their own sounds en settings. It's in the sound menu.

Alright this may help or not, but let's say you message me thru the default standard messaging thru the phone. Usually, the recipient would get a notification of that message, shortly after being sent depending on the area's signal. I, however do not get a notification, vibration, ring, I do not get anything that notifies me in any way that I got that message, so I could being doing whatever on my phone, receive an important message about work or something, and never know about it. However I do have Smart Launcher and the messaging icon does have notification numbers to the top left of it, but that doesn't help really.

Where did you check if notifications were enabled. In settings AND in the app itself? you can also try to clear cache and storage of the app.
Ok I'm dumb notifications were on when I went thru messaging, but when I went thru the application manager they weren't on. Honestly don't remember how that'd happened, but thanks for the help bro.
