Anyway to adjust notification vibration? - T-Mobile LG G2x

When I get a text, i dont feel it at all, its like a weak haptic feedback. Anyway to adjust the notification vibrate strength or length of vibration?I have it set to always vibrate..and Im on eagelsblood 2.3.5 (Awesome rom).

I don't know if there is cyanogen based settings in there cuz its based off cm but if there is go to cyanogenmod settings, then input, then haptic feedback tweaks, if not grab go SMS pro from the market its an awesome SMS app and free u will definitely be able to mess with haptic feedback with that, u can make it multiple short spurts, (vibration) or long spurts, etc

thx
I checked every single settings page and there isnt an option, I want to change the notification vibration not haptic feedback. And that sms pro app replaces the whole stock sms, I dont really want to do that, just want stronger vibration for stock sms app. I would think that it shouldn't be too hard with a rooted phone...

Try Light Flow. I used it for a little while to change the amount of vibration and number of vibrations for various notification. The one thing is that you have to give it permission to intercept your messages and such, since it must detect it to send out the 3 short, 2 long, whatever vibrations. I decided with my work phone that I shouldn't do it. Ignore the part in the review which talks about how LG phones don't work- yes they don't work for the LED, but it works for the vibration.

Vibrate on SMS

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

[Q] Enabling BLN to work with SMS Notifications

Hey Fellow Galaxy S2 Skyrocket modders,
I am a rookie at this and definitely not a developer but like to mess around with my phones.
I have BLN running and currently it is only flashing for phone calls and emails.
I love the service but would really love it if it alerted me when I had a Text Message.
What should I be doing to enable that.
I am running 2.3.5 Stock w/ Rom Racers [KERNEL] AT&T Stock-ish 0.1 BLN/USB-OTG/NFS/FUSE/init.d/adb root/boot animation.
If anyone has any suggestions for me let me know please.
Thanks

Bln won't work with the stock messaging up due to the fact the phone "wakes" up when you get a text (the screen turns on). You need to tweak the service.jar for it to work or you can do what I did, replace the mms.apk with the cm7 version. You'll get bln notification for texts this way

BLN works great if you use GOsms........
in GOsms settings, make sure you uncheck "screen wake"
Would anybody be able to elaborate on how exactly to tweak services.jar. I've actually been researching this very thing over the past few days but can only find different ROMs saying they include a patched services.jar. Is the services.jar a ROM/phone specific file? Like, could I just pull one from another ROM or no? Or what would be the process of tweaking it?

Using BLN with Stock SMS Application
This post is probably a little late, but I just would like to post a workaround that I found on another forum that allows you to use BLN LED notifications with the original Samsung SMS app.
If you download "SMS Popup" from the market, you can actually force a workaround. Since SMS Popup isn't a standalone SMS app, you still use the original SMS app to write and read text messages. SMS Popup only extends the original SMS app by handling the notification process, and it has an option for LED notification. Here's a quick guide on the settings I'm using to make this work:
1) On the original SMS app go to "Settings" and scroll down to "Notifications" and uncheck it, since you don't want duplicate notifications which would result from having SMS Popup also handling your text notifications
2) Download "SMS Popup"
3) In SMS Popup, make sure it is enabled, then press "Notifications" then "Default Notifications"
4) Make sure "Enable Notifications" is checked then scroll down to "Blink LED" and check that (It says blink, but in my experience it doesn't matter what the following settings are for the color and duration of the blink, BLN controller overrides those settings. I.e., if you tell BLN to never activate blink, your notification will just be static LED lights. And obviously you can't change the color.)
5) You should be all set! Just make sure your settings within BLN controller are all set up and ready to go.
Since I much prefer the looks of the stock SMS app over GoSMS and Handcent, this is the ideal solution that meets my needs. The only quirk/upside (depending on your tastes) is that for some reason when the phone is locked and I receive a text, the screen no longer lights up offering me a shortcut to the message. This might be a necessity for BLN to function and I don't know if you can fix that, but coming from a Nokia N8 where the time and all notifications were displayed at all times on the OLED screen, a no button glance at my phone has to tell me if I've missed an event or not.
From my understanding of how BLN controller works (which admittedly is extremely shallow), BLN controller intercepts any signals that would route to the notification LED and sends it to the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone. So any application that has the capability of using notification LEDs should theoretically activate BLN but since on the skyrocket and the Tmobile T989 Galaxy SII (the phone I'm using) there is no built in LED, Samsung removed the notification option on the SMS app. So to circumvent it, all you need to do is use an app designed for universal access and isn't customized for a phone with no LED notification lights. This workaround should work with any phone so long as it's rooted, has a kernel that supports the BLN mod, and has installed the BLN controller from the market.

I don't have "Show a Popup" enabled. Depending on your setting under "Additional Settings" in the main menu where it says "Screen On for Popup", your phone might turn on when you receive a text message and show that popup, which would, in turn, disable BLN. BLN has to have the screen off to work so anything that results in the screen turning on after receiving a text message will disable BLN. If you receive a text and your screen doesn't light up and you still can't get BLN to work, double check your BLN is turned on under BLN controller.
BLN works pretty good with sms on Alien 5.5 (with "- Stock-ish kernel with custom ramdisk and BLN (disables ro.secure) ").
But the bln control app only keeps LED notification on for "one screen on". So, if you get frequent texts the light won't stay on except for the first one.
Anyone know if the paid version lets it stay on for more than one text? I've tried some of the "market app solutions" but nothing has helped.

I think what you're referring to is the test section of BLN which only means you can test the BLN notification setup you have and it will last until the next time you turn on your screen (which is what you want a test to do, right?). I don't think it's really a feature thing that you're thinking of because BLN only lasts until the next time the screen is turned on. Anyways, I have the paid version and there's no option along those lines.
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and gave up. Tried your method and works perfect. Thanks for the instructions and heads up.

Ah. Thank you for the correction, I've only recently realized the value of bln so I'm new at it (I'll hit the button when I'm back on my desktop). I realize it's a test function but I was hoping there was a connection to it doing the exact same thing in reality (comes on for first sms, but turns off and stays off after any following msgs, after screen notification pops up).
I'd love to be able to rely on bln--would keep me from being that person in the office with the loud annoying ring tone (or loud vibrate). My wife is a prolific texter. If she sends one message when I'm at the office and I see it, all is well. But if I turn the screen on and she's sent 6 messages that I haven't replied to, they usually escalate very quickly into "Why are you ignoring me?!...Answer me!!!".
I'd like bln to just stay on for multiple msgs and hold my marriage together. Is that too much to ask??

I'm not quite sure how the functionality that you're asking for is different than the functionality that BLN provides? How BLN works for me is if my phone is on my desk and I receive a text, the soft keys light up and stay lit up until I unlock my screen, at which point the LED notification turns off and whether the soft keys are lit or not depends on your system settings. When I lock my screen again, the notification is off because turning on the screen resets BLN. If I don't touch my phone after receiving a text, the soft keys stay on indefinitely (how I have the settings on BLN control app) until the next time I unlock my screen.
Isn't that what you're asking for? That the notification remains until you turn on your screen (check your phone)?

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to replicate your problem. I had the same person text me multiple times and I had different people text me and I didn't touch my phone in between texts and the LED stayed on. I'm inclined to think that it's an issue with your ROM solution (you're running Alien right?). This workaround is for kernels that have the BLN functionality unlocked but otherwise haven't made any modifications to allow it to work with the stock SMS app. It sounds like (from what you said) that Alien has a workaround cooked in to allow BLN to work with the stock SMS app but it seems like Alien's solution doesn't quite work as it's supposed to if it turns off upon receiving a second text.
If BLN is very important to you (it is for me), I would suggest a different ROM/kernel solution that doesn't have a built in way to allow stock SMS to access BLN. If that's the case, and all it does is unlock BLN functionality, then this workaround should work for you.
Found a fix to get BLN working with SMS Pop. Just enable reminders after 1 minute, and under advanced disable screen on with reminders. Might also want to set notification sound to silent and have the stock sms handle the sound. After the first popup BLN won't work but after one minute BLN will blink.

Must be one of your settings is wrong. Mine always lights up again no matter how many texts I get one after another.

Notification/Haptic Feedback problems with Sky ICS

Hi there,
I just installed Sky ICS 7.4 for my Rogers S2 LTE. Every time I get a new notification (i.e. sms, e-mail, etc.), it uses the haptic feedback vibration settings.
Is there a way to get the phone to use the Notification vibration setting again? Of course, I can just increase the haptic feedback vibration setting but I want it at a lower setting for regular use while still being able to feel the vibration from notifications.
Thanks a lot!
Exact same problem here

New Android user, Notifications Question

I just came from an iPhone 4 and this is my first Android phone (I've used a touchpad with CM9) and I have a fairly simple question which I can't seem to figure out.
When you receive an SMS, or any notification for that matter, the phone will beep or vibrate but the screen remains black.
How can I change the settings to have the screen light up and show the notification I just received like iOS does. I assumed this would just be a standard setting but after searching the phone and internet for about 10 minutes I gave up.
Thank You and sorry for the noobiness. Plz dont kill me I swear im not trolling.

i'm guessing he means without 3rd party apps... in which case, i don't think it's possible - at least until we get custom roms.
that's one thing i really miss about my GSII - that, and BLN. the LED on this HOX is so small, i tend to miss it, even if it's blinking.
So wait, your telling me there's no feature built into ICS that makes any sort of a notification pop up on screen on? That's absolutely ridiculous. What am I supposed to do for push emails? Just listen to the beep and have to go toggle the screen each time I get one to see if its important or not?

you should still get the notifications if your screen is on... i thought you were talking about making SMS and emails light up the display on your screen when the screen is off and you're not using the phone. if you are using the phone, and you get an SMS or email - assuming you are not currently in either of those programs - you should still get a notification.
if you are in fact talking about getting the screen to light up when you receive SMS or email and the screen is off... then yeah, unfortunately, you just have to hear the tone or feel the vibration, and if you miss that, look for the LED. eventually there will be support for making the screen light up, and even BLN (back light notification - where the capacitative keys light up when you receive a SMS or email) - but it's going to take custom kernels for that stuff to happen.

Um, you had to do the same thing with an iPhone. If you missed the initial screen turn on you had to do exactly that. Toggle the screen. Before iOS 5 it was even worse. So calm down and explore your HOX. While you will have to toggle your screen, to make up for it you can customize your lockscreen to quickly allow you to see certain notifications.
If you go to settings -> personalize -> lock screen style and select productivity you'll be able to keep track of your notifications extremely easily.
Otherwise yeah, an easily installed, non-invasive app can quickly fix your problem. If a text makeover isn't what you want check out an app called SMS Flash. It's my favorite least intrusive UI notification pop up. You can't reply from it like you could from SMS Popup or Go SMS Pro pop up notifications, but it does show you them and is slightly customizable.
If you go into the messaging app, then go to settings > notifications. There is an option called notification preview. This will turn on the screen and show you a preview of the SMS you just received.
Also under Personalize > Lockscreen, then select the second option called productivity. This will list all of your active notifications on the screen similar to iOS.
You can also access the notification tray from the lockscreen, provided you don't have any sort of security on (PIN, Pass, Etc).
I also think you're being a bit nit picky about not having the screen light up for every notification. That is just as easy to miss as anything else. You have to be looking at the phone to see that. If I'm working on the computer the sound of a tone or vibrate is much more likely to get my attention. You turn the screen on to check the notification when you're ready... I don't really see a problem. Turning the screen on for anything other than incoming calls/texts seems like a waste of battery to me.
Android is a bit different in that the options aren't centralized. Options for notifications are within each app itself. Some apps (like Facebook app Friendcaster) may include optional popup notifications.

pretty sure that SMS option won't make your screen light up when you receive texts... all it does is place the notification in a square in the middle of your lockscreen, so that when you hit the power button to unlock your phone, you see that square on your lockscreen, rather than having to look for the little icon in the upper left corner of your notification bar.
You get a notification up top....fyi you can pull down the notification bar down and check whatever on the lock screen. You don't actually have to unlock this phone to access notification bar. Love it. My infuse was not the same.

Handcent SMS is a really good messaging app (better than default IMO). It has a setting that turns the screen on when a message is received. I'm not sure about email because I have never bothered to look for an alternative.
@Pirateghost What if you still had the CHOICE to install a 3rd party app that kept your screen off? Everyone has different preferences, and the OP is upset it isn't available in the stock app. Seems reasonable to me.

Secondly, unless the phone is directly in front of you at all times and you're able to see the screen light up right then and there, then I don't see a difference. If the phone is in your pocket and the screen lights up but you failed to hear the notification, you're still screwed.

default notifications? ie: Led and vibration?

what are the default notifications for this phone...coming from a S5 where it was long vibrate/blue led for gmail, short vibrate/green led for text, and double vibate/i think pink led for facebook
shouldnt it be the same on the note since its lollipop?
i could of sworn gmail did the long vibrate when i first set up the phone but now it does double vibrate and i keep thinking it's facebook...is there a way to change it without lightflow?
i tried making a custom vibrate patter in system settings but gmail still double vibration
thanks!
I'm too ADD to have noticed anything you mentioned above. I always thought all notifications are the same. Either you're real astute or you have way too much time on your hands lol.
