[Q] Vibration notifications not working - Verizon Droid Charge

Hello,
I've recently flashed to tweakstock 1.4 and PBJ kernel from Tweakstock 1.1 and imnuts kernel. In both cases everything is working quite well (1.4 seems smoother w/ some tweaks I did). In any case since I have gone to tweakstock my vibration events don't work at all. I use the quickpanel toggle (silent, vibrate, vibrate/sound). google voice (sms), k-9 mail, regular SMS dont work however the voice incoming does work (the only one).
What could be causing this. In GV I put on vibrate notification, and K-9, and SMS. For k-9 when I change it to 2 short in the menu it works, but not for incoming.
This happens on vibrate only mode and vibrate/sound. in GV-?Sync and notifications I have text notifications, VM notifications, vibrate, and light turned on. I toggled light (there is not LED on charge) and that didnt change anything.
Help greatly appreciate.
Thx.

Messaging, settings, check "vibration"

Thanks. I looked under messaging->settings->Notification settings
both notifications and vibrate (also vibrate when notified) are checked. I have the same settings for google voice. It's very frustrating. If I manually (not using quickpanel) turn the volume all the way down it goes into vibrate mode, and I can feel the vibration.

have the vibrate set to "always" in sound settings?

yes it is. I am going to flash a factory restore just in case. My youtube app is force closing....
Will report.

it seems there is a bug in my gmail account setting. When I linked my phone to my wifes account the apps work correctly, so I am going to reflash and link without backup (try this). Maybe that will repair my vanilla goog settings.
I read there was a bug on this which there was a patch for gingerbread, but I am not sure it made it into the sammy build. I will check when I get this up.

I think I had issues with 1.1 and what I did was turn off all vibrations, reboot, turn them all on, then reboot again.
Solved the problem for me.

oh well. thx gents. i reflashed and did not have google save my settings. It worked. Definitely a google server bug tho. I will keep the vibration turnoff in my back pocket for next time.
Tweakstock 1.4 w/PBJ and ext4 is just great.
Overclocked to 1.2, changed smartassv2 governor, and now tweaking certain voltage p-states.
Too bad this thing didnt have more RAM...

Anyone else having vibrate problems With MIUI?

The title says it all.

Title says it all, but it's still vague as hell. Vibrate problems on ringing/notification? Haptic feedback in general? Elaboration is your friend.
Staying on post, I didn't notice any vibration issues while I had it turned on, but its since been turned off to conserve battery life.
I have this problem all the time, Im vague for everything without realizing it. I meant vibrate for notifications. I tried turning it on in settings but nothing.
If you want it to vibrate for your text messages you must go into the settings in the messaging app and turn it on as well as in the global settings. Same for email i believe.
Well, that did it. thank you very much.
thx that helps me too.
I just want to chime in on this situation and say that I had the same problem on my completely stock evo shift. One moment it worked perfectly and the next it didn't. After several attempts at checking settings and hard/soft resetting, come to find out it was a faulty motor in mine that worked when it wanted to. Had my phone replaced at the sprint store after a supposed cleaning fixed it and then failed again after 3 vibrating notifications. Just another possible resolution/observation.

Actually I have the opposite problem, I cannot disable notifications vibration ( for messages ) on MIUI ... but I found out this was caused by the apps settings ( Fb messanger / Wechat / What'sup )

Notifications

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'm on gummycharge GBE, appears glass/puzzle lock screen in settings doesn't work, those are the only two options and I have AOSP lock screen...Also, just tried delay sms feature, will let you guys know a fix when I figure it out

Noled and audio alert...

Hello guys...
I am using with satisfaction Noled app and I gave a try to the audio alert yesterday, an option I never used. It works, in fact when I receive an email or a phone call, a digital voice alerts me (about the incoming call telling the name of the caller for instance). Now I want to turn off the option but it does not work: even if I uninstall Noled, the alert is always present and it is a little bit annoying.
Do you know if there is a trick or a system option I can fix inside the phone? For sure it is a bug of the app which changed something somewhere I don't know...
thx to all
That's not Noled - that sounds like driving mode in the voice input settings. (in text to speech)
You are partially right. Noled entered in conflict with my car mode because I did not noticed that it turned on alone (don't ask me how, I never used this option). Plus they started to play each other when getting a notification of SMS out call...so everything was messed up...I uninstalled noled, reinstalled it and turned off car mode. Now it seems to work. Maybe it happened when I changed my custom ROM...many times happens something with Android when you flash even if you follow exactly the proper procedures...
Thx anyway, mate.

BLN

What are backlightnotifications? What do they do? And why do we need them? I notice they are in the updated kernal.
Read the app description for the app FB states is needed and I'm sure you will figure it out.
So instead of my phone screen lighting up when i recieve a notification my back light at the bottom of my phone will light up. Am i right? OH OK I GET IT NEAT!!
Yes. If you get a text or whatever - your softkets will illuminate and stay on as a notification.
Hmm, i flashed the new kernel but bln still doesnt work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
Did you download the app? Did you enable it within the app? Did you flash the kernel through CWM as FB said? Lastly, did you receive a text to test it?
Yes, flashed through cwm. I had an old version of the app, i updated it now but still no luck. And i didnt receive a message, what should i be getting? App is enabled, ofcourse.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
You receive a text to see the BLN. It illuminates your softkeys to notify you of a text.
Or there you can push test notification within the app.
Haha, ofcourse, i know. I thought you meant i had to receive a test message upon installation. No, i already received texts and it isnt working. The test in the app foesnt do the trick either. Bummer, i really enjoyed this on froyo and didva happy dance when i saw it should be working with this new kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
The test in the BLN app will take a few seconds to kick in. Tap on the test text then turn off your screen right after and you'll get the softkeys lighting up.
I've tested this so far with Trillian (works perfectly, the screen doesn't turn on when I get an IM and the softkeys do). GoSMS doesn't work though. Older versions of GoSMS used to work for me on Froyo with the Bali kernel though.
Note that the app you're trying to test this on has to support BLN!!! I think handcent might. You should go through the market and read the description for different texting apps to be sure though.
GoSMS Pro does support BLN. You have to enable LED notifications in settings --> default notification settings for it to work. I have tested and am using with no problems on GoSMS Pro.
I also disabled 'screen on'.

Aha, this was it. I enabled screen on but this is a much better solution . It doesn't work when you have screen on + led notifications enabled at the same time.
Aweeome! Glad you have it working.
Ok, the test works indeed, didnt realise it takws about 5 seconds to kick in. Im using handcent and it doesnt work there, ill have a look at the handcent settings next.

The Bali kernel used a different implementation of BLN. I may end up porting that implementation at some point to see if it helps compatibility.
Well i dont see anything wrong with my settings in handcent, so i dont know why its not working there...

oh I see the built in text messenger or call doesn't support BLN, only some apps.
Not sure about stock. Have not tried it.
What kernal with bln support would be the best for valhalla black

There is only one kernel for GB with BLN. Go to FB's kernel thread.

[Q] notifcations won't vibrate, any fix?

I recently just flashed the embryo 5.4 rom and its a great but the only problem is I can't make the notifcations vibrate for anything. I've made sure the vibrate function is enabled everywhere ( under the settings, messaging app, etc) the intensity is all the way up and still nothing. I also have the vibrate on screen tap funtion on and that doesn't seem to work either. I've flahsed this over twice already, no reboots fix it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I've searched around on here and the web but no answers

Not sure if this ROM has profiles, but I had a similar problem with CM9 a while back. Turns out I had enabled a nighttime profile by accident, and everything was set as normal, except I had vibrate disabled for notifications. Once I disabled and deleted all those profiles, everything was back to normal.
Ive been having the same issue with only SMS notifications. All others will sound/vibe normally.
Flash 5.0 base = working vibe on sms
Update 5.4= no vibe on sms
Any possible solution? Md5 checks OK.
