Hi
This week I tried several CM 7.1 ROMs with a factory reset on every install.
I always had the same problem: when I set the phone to 'vibrate always' and when I mute it (so that it would only vibrate) it doesn't vibrate. It vibrates when someone calls me but other notifications don't work. I tried with SMS, Gmail, twitter ...
And yes, I set the SMS and the Gmail to 'always vibrate'.
I don't have this problem on stock and on MIUI.
Am I the only one with this issue? How to fix this?

EDIT: I found the problem. When I let the setup wizard restore my settings, the vibration doesn't work. When I set up my Google account later, everything works fine. WTF.

Ever since the 3.1 update my Gmail notifications have stopped working. Yes the Notifications are turned on under the Quick settings. I have the proper notification sound. Just cant figure out why it has stopped working. Anyone else know/had this happen?
Go into settings, manage apps. Find the Gmail app, and open it. Click on clear cache and clear data. Ignore the warnings. Restart Gmail and you should be good to go. This often happens after loading a new ROM or kernel.

yup that did the trick. I should have thought of that. Thanks!!!
Seems to be somewhat common but no fix to be found...
Using CM7.1
Was working perfectly for a month.
Seemed to happen out of no where, no new apps installed or settings changed. The phone will vibrate for incoming calls, haptic, everything except SMS.
Using GoSMS but it does the same with the stock messanging app. Vibration is turned on in all the system and messanging settings. In fact, when I test settings in GoSMS it reports "vibration on".
Tried clearing the dalvik cache and tried installing this app but it won't show anywhere in the app drawer and I can't find it anywhere on the phone despite the market saying its installed. Unfortunate becasue it seems this app was designed for this very issue with desire/insprire.
Anyone have a fix for this or a method I could get the above app to install properly?
Thanks.
edit.....It's looking like an app issue......
never mind on the rom repair part....sorry
mods can delete....g
Gregsarg was actually probably right the first time. It doesn't seem to be an APP issue (as all MMS apps have the same lack of vibrate), but a broader issue.
His suggestion to install CM7 on top of itself is likely the simplest attempt at solution since you haven't found a specific solution through your searches.
I also tried the GoodVibrations.apk and it only shows in airdroid, mybackup, and managing all apps... It doesn't even have the 'open' command on the market menu after installing it >.>

Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't see this suggestion before it was edited out. What exactly is meant by install CM7 on top of itself? Through clockwork I presume?
Yeah, just flash the SAME rom again (after backing up AND without wiping anything), and your settings should stay in place.
There is also a setting in the stock CM sms app that controls vibration, which is turned off by default.
Yeah vibrate in the stock SMS program is on. While I haven't gotten around to reflashing just yet I have noticed a few other things that lead me to believe its a ROM issue. Sometimes when I put the phone on silent it turns off all system vibrations even after coming off silent. I have to go back in and turn vibration back on. This is intermittent. Also, out of the blue the phone started vibrating during calls, come to find out "vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls" was magically turned on.
It WILL vibrate when an SMS arrives if I'm on a call. Swell.
Flashed the new 7.2 nightly and the problem still exists. Everything remained intact after the flash so I figure I'll just do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the new nightly again and start over. Hopefully whatever caused this won't carry over with titanium restoring apps.
Do the full wipe, install the rom... then get a friend to send you text messages BEFORE you restore from Titanium, and then after....
Easy to isolate if you're carrying the issue from ROM to ROM.
Had the same issue, could find no fix. Used vibrate tools from the market and no issues for a week or so now..

That did it thanks! Saved me from having to do a full wipe. Phone is back to vibrating with SMS and I can change the vibration pattern. Nice.
Cool, glad it worked for you. I really wish I knew what happened though, it's kind of bugging me.
Meh, technology..

Well I'll add this... Out of curiosity I removed the vibrate tools app and everything is still operating as designed. So whatever that app turned on has stuck.
Hi to everyone!
This is my first post and so i can't put it into the rom's thread, so i hope that i've placed my question in the right place...
I have an issue using gmail app on cataclysm rom, the automatic sync don't function. I receive mails in the morning, immediatly when i start my phone, but in the rest of the day no notification. But if i open gmail app, and refresh it, mail were downloaded.
All the setting are good, auto sync, data, i've read some instruction on the web and this is not my first experience with android.
I've tried to install another rom (cyanogenmod 11) and the problem disappears.
Thanks for the answers. And sorry for my rusted english
Try signing out of Google and sign back in.
Also check your download of cataclysm.

I'm also on Cataclysm [Dec 12, 2013 Release] and have no issues...
(hmm read your issue again and restarted my phone, unlocked the screen once, didn't open gmail, turned off the screen. Then sent an email from a different account. i don't get an audible notification or a pulse light, however if I turn the screen on I see the notification icon and the email is there once I unlock the screen and open gmail for the first time. i think that because I'm using chrome, gmail is getting a signal that I'm on the laptop and thus suppressing the notices on my phone (light/noise) as i don't need my phone to notify me of new email if I'm looking/using chrome where I'm logged in and just got an on screen notification)
The good thing about 4.4 is you can logout of all accounts with out factory reset, so do that, then reboot and log in again.
Else it is probably best to start again, full wipe.
EDIT: OK, silly me, I didn't have a ringtone set for notifications phone makes a noise now when I get an email. I think I have to wait longer than I am to get a pulse light notification.
Thank you for answers.:good:
While i was waiting for answers, i have made some ttests.
in cm11 all was good, because my account doesn't restore settings, also ok if i restore all apps from titanium backup without data. But if i restore all data, gmail stop sync.
So i've tried to make a full wipe, reinstall cataclysm, uncheck automatic restore, install all apps with titanium (excluded gmail).
Some minutes to reconfiguring all and for now all is good. :victory:
So, i think was a setting, but i don't understood which one...
Thanks to all, and happy new year!
Titanium backup always screws things up. I've noticed this many times over years of being on here

Absolutely agree. I switched to Rom Toolbox a long time ago.

Does ROM toolbox do all user apps?

This messed me up too, I've had to manually install everything and my Nexus 5 is fine now.
The first time I restored I kept getting stutters and pauses.
Selectively restored data for some apps like the Google Auth app.
Glad you got it working, the Cataclysm ROM is really great, stock Google + minor tweaks (circle battery, customise the toggles)

My only problem was with gmail, so for the rest i've used Titanium.
It's the first time i've got a problem with it...
But the important is that my problem was solved.
Hi guys,
I have a huge problem with gmail - running current nightlies of Cyanogenmod 11 and the latest version of Gmail:
Gmail is not respecting any notification settings whatsoever. I have disabled every single vibration/sound notification in Gmail, have disabled "vibrate for every notification" in CM settings - but Gmail doesn't care: Every notification I get from Gmail not only rings a sound but the phone is also vibrating which is incredibly annoying. I have triple checked my settings, deleted app data, reinstalled gmail completely - nope, it's still vibrating. There is no other app with this problem - it is only gmail that vibrates like there is no tomorrow.
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?
Try a clean flash

Yeah, I suspected as much - hoped that anyone got this problem and knew a fix without doing a wipe. I'll let you know how it works out.
Edit: Jup, that did the trick. Thanks again
This annoying problem just started. Every time i get a message the phone vibrates. I have turned off vibration for Messenger in phone settings but still it vibrates. And its driving me crazy!!
How can i fix this? I have tried reinstalling it too.
Hey, my wife had the same issue (mind you on an S7) and while trying to find an answer, I found your thread. She found the solution herself. She says:
In the app notification settings for chats and calls I changed the "importance" from urgent to medium
Hope this helps you!
I don't have this problem but I would assume if you go into apps and then application permission you could probably disable anything that is related to the gyro or vibration for FB messenger.
That or install a vibration manager app and just disable FB from it.
