I have developed a strange issue as of late with my text message notifications while my Fuze is in standby. When I have the system/ring volume up, it notifies me just fine, even when in standby, but when I put it to vibrate I get no notification (besides the flashing ring) of a text message or email. This only happens when I am running a rom that is not stock. The problem goes away when I flash back to stock, but re-appears again if I flash to a custom rom, regardless of which chef's rom I use. Any help would be much appreciated, as its killing me to be stuck on this stock rom lol.
this happens to me to , you should try G-profile . look it up on google or search it here .
basically you can make a profile that overrides all other profiles and if the notifacation only works for a period of time you can make enough profiles that it switches before it stops notifing again . :] good luck !
Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try if all else fails. I would really like to figure out the root of this issue, rather than a work-around. I have noticed questions about this issue pop up in other rom threads, but no answers seem to have been posted.
Edit: The phone functionality is unaffected by the change from tone to vibrate, it works as expected when I receive a phone call. The text message and email notifications, however, do not.
I have the same thing on the ROM is my sig.
The only way I found to make it work is that you have to check the Vibrate option in the Sounds & Notifications for the alert you want.
For example...New Test Message...it wouldn't vibrate if that was unchecked, but if I checked it, then it vibrates just fine.
for me i get text notifications but no email notifications :[ . i use the app for the work around because people have actually been mean to me saying that its impossible to not get notifacations :[
I have the same problem. Ive checked vibrate under text and all, yet it does not vibrate and only does the flashing ring. What should i do

Why do I not see one thread discussing notifications? Given we don't have kernel source, BLN is not possible, but seems it would be useless anyway considering how dim the blacklights are. Also, it appears NoLED does not support the charge yet. What's everyone doing for notifications on this thing?!?!
Noled works just fine on the charge

Hmmmm wtf, I've got widget on and tried reboot, still nothing...Will dig further...Looks like this is all we will ever have though for notifs tho
Just a couple of tips; Download Handcent SMS(not sure if you can do this with stock) and change the settings to turn the screen on when you receive an SMS. If that still doesn't get your attention just set it so you receive an update every 1-15 mins if you don't check the unread messages.
I spent 2 years without a notification LED and didn't see a point to it. Loud notification alert + screen on works fine for me.

I prefer GoSMS over Handcent, way more efficient, cleaner, more features...screen does turn on when I recieve it, but if I'm out and phone is in my pocket and can't hear/feel it, I used to just take a quick glance to see if BLN was on...Rather dissapointed they didn't put an LED in here...Will look into the update thing though, thanks
NoLED works great on my charge. There is a setting for delaying it for popup txts and I have that on. You do have to be using the Glass or Puzzle lock screen for it to work, if you're on a custom rom.

I have a stock Froyo 2.2 Captivate. For the past month or two, whenever my phone is in vibrate only mode, the phone vibrates for phone calls, but does not vibrate properly for Gmail notifications. Specifically, if I'm holding the phone in my hand when a gmail arrives, I see the notification in the notification bar and feel the most slight millisecond vibration of the phone. I've tried checking general sound settings, gmail settings, and downloaded "Sound Manager" without any luck.
Somehow, it seems that the default vibrate has went from a long bold buzz to this slight millisecond buzz and I haven't found a way to get that back. I know you can customize those settings in specific situations with software such as HandCent but I don't know about fixing the general default vibrate buzz...
Any ideas for troubleshooting? Anyone with a solution?
Thanks!
There are separate notification settings for gmail...have you turned on vibration there?
Sent from my Cappy
Yea, the gmail settings are set for vibration.
and technically i'm getting vibration notifications, but the vibration is so slight and so short that I can only feel it if i'm holding the phone in my hand. settings> sound> vibration settings look normal and I can feel vibration with incoming phone calls but the vibrations for notifications are nearly imperceptible.
Ideas?
No one hear of this problem? Anywhere else I could look for solutions? I haven't been able to find anything about it around the web...

i have the same problem..no vibration settings for gmail!! i remember i could find them a couple of months ago...weird
For anyone coming across this problem:
After updating to the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 firmware, the problem resolved automatically and vibration notification are all working properly again. I still don't know what the problem was and if it was possible to fix it without flashing the firmware, but apparently that is one way to fix it.
I remember having the same issue on 2.2 with my phone too. I ended up downing a different gmail app that had a better vibration setting. But yah now with gingerbread that app wasnt needed anymore.
I guess I'm the odd one, I had no problems until I updated to the 2.3.5
Hi,
I have got an issue that when the new SMS arrives the phone doesn't vibrate. I checked all possible settings and it says everywhere that it should vibrate. I just have wiped the phone completely and reloaded it with my ROM (see signature) and then I sent text message to myself just after it rebooted first time and the problem still exists. It vibrates without any problems on incoming calls.
Any ideas what can cause that, or maybe there is hidden setting that I haven't found that prevents it from vibrating?
Thanks
OK, I have resolved that. It was set everywhere apart from the settings in "Messages". It was set to Vibrate->Never. I was not even aware of that setting... I think it wasn't there on my HD2 ROM or it was always set to vibrate.
Please close this thread.
Bought a Droid Maxx today and I'm loving it except for one problem -- the Active Notifications are not working properly. It does display the time and the swipe down to unlock, but that's it. I currently have unread gmails, a missed call, and missed texts, but nothing. I verified that it's turned on in the settings and that the appropriate apps are selected. "Sleep at night" is not checked. I tried googling for an answer but I seem to be the only person in the world with this issue. Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope. Since there's no notification light on this phone it's kind of a deal breaker. Also tried a Factory Data Reset, did not help.

If you've unlocked the phone already they won't show up as active notifications. So if your phone was unlocked, you got an email, locked it, it won't show up as an active notification even if the email is still unread. Or if you heard the phone go off for an email or something, unlock it to see you have a new email, then relock it, it won't show up even if the email is still unread. I don't know if that helps, otherwise I have no idea why it wouldn't be working
I was getting ready to take the phone to Verizon today to exchange it, and I asked my wife to call it again just so I'd have a missed call to show them (the FDR wiped out the first one). Guess what, on comes the Active Notification! Then I had her message me and it worked for that as well. So suddenly it works. Guess I'll keep an eye on it for now just to make sure it's working consistently, but it looks like the problem may be solved.
I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?
