I am new to Samsung, and new to this phone, so maybe I am missing something silly.
I can't get this thing to vibrate! I have tried all the vibration settings (always, only on silent, etc.) and I have my gmail and voice settings to always vibrate, but the dang thing won't vibrate. Even the little vibrate icon in the notification bar lights up, and it vibrates when you turn off/on and when you volume down to silent (just as confirmation of silent mode), so I feel confident it isn't a hardware issue.
I just got it Saturday, and I have been testing out different profile managers. I have them all deleted now, but could one of them set something to not vibrate? Even though I have it set to vibrate in stock settings? I can't remember if it vibrated before I started messing with those profile managers...
Should I just factory reset and start over?
Put it on vibrate. Then go to your sound settings and make the notification sound louder. Then try calling your phone to see if it worked.
Should of posted this in q&a btw.

Have you tried turning your vibration intensity up?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the incorrect location.
OK, tried what you suggested. Looks like vibration works for phone calls but still no vibration for notifications.

Yes, vibration intensity is on max for all.
ETA: Ok, My wife has a brand new i777 that we got at the same time and I set up the same way. Her notifications weren't vibrating either, even though I had the settings set up that way. I checked the profile manager that was still on her phone (that I had had on my phone, but deleted) and vibration was unchecked. When I checked it, the phone vibrated as it should. Therefore, it looks like that app (Profile Scheduler) left something unchecked down inside the OS even though it is deleted and the stock OS says to vibrate.
I'm going to try to reinstall that app and check the settings and then uninstall again and see if that fixes it. Otherwise I'm going to have to factory reset.
ETA2: Ok. Looks like that fixed it! It changed my ringtone, but that is a simple fix. Much better than having to factory reset. Thanks everyone!

I've noticed that, for some reason, during the day my notifications won't sound. The phone will vibrate but I have missed calls, SMS, emails, etc. because of this. The phone is DEFINITELY on loud and I am NOT changing the volume in pocket (it happens with or without case). Everytime it happens, I checked my volume and it is all the way up.
Any ideas? PS - happens on any ROM

I had a similar issue that turned out to be due to my own mis-setting of CyanogenMod's quiet hours <.< 12PM is different than 12AM.
In your case it sounds like there is a setting somewhere that is preventing there from being a notification sound. Do you use stock messaging and gmail? Go into the settings for those applications (stock or non) and check to make sure its set correctly. Has this always been true? Have you tried doing a full factory reset? It sucks but its the best way to gauge whether or not you are experiencing a setting issue or if its really a hardware issue. Do your calls ring?

I appreciate the help; I'll check quiet hours. As I stated, calls have the same problem. Notifications are definitely properly configured in their respective apps because I get the sounds sometimes.

In your Sound -> Volume Make sur ethe "Use incoming call volume for notificatons" radio is ticked. Turn ringer all the way up and see if you can hear your notifications.
Hi, Does any one know how i can make my phone (G2x) just vibrate. I hate having when phone rings. I prefer vibration ONLY on all txt,voice message,incoming phone, notification and what not. The only time i want voice is when i am watching a movie or listening to music. I have looked through settings and tried all the settings....
thanks.
Right slider on lockscreen ?

I beg to differ.
Look under Settings > Sound. Make sure vibrate is set to either Always or Only in Silent Mode. Then select Volume and turn ringtone volume all the way down. Leave media and alarm volumes turned up. Voila!
Anybody have any fixes for vibrate that doesn't work in silent mode? I had a feeling this had been failing for a while I've just confirmed it today. My messages app is set to vibrate only in silent mode and the general settings is setup the same. Is this maybe an ATRIX 2 bug? Weird.
The End.
Actually, I can't get it to vibrate in any settings configuration. The only way I know the hardware works is when choosing vibrate within the stock email app settings. It gives off a vibrate but doesn't work when I get an email. Does that make sense?
The End.
Sound Manager (which I love) has global vibrate settings that I overlooked. All is right with the world once again. ;-)
The End.
I had read this earlier and did not have a answer for you. Good to know you figured it out.

It seems after I took the ota my phone will no longer vibrate for calls or any other notifications. I seen an at&t user had the same issue and a factory reset fixed it. Didn't work for me. I was stock rooted. I've now unlocked the bootloader, twrp recovery and installed cleanrom. Still have the same issue. I use the volume button to change it to mute with vibrate and the phone does vibrate, but the squiggly lines don't show up around the crossed out speaker. In the sound settings Silent Mode is set to Vibrate. Any ideas?

That's pretty odd. I would try to ODIN back to stock and then open bootloader again and root ETC.
Have never heard o an issue like this but I hope this fixes it or you figure it out. Also try this might help---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5qb3Jnb25sb3Iudm9sdW1lY29udHJvbCJd
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Fixed for me

This also happened to me after I had installed and then uninstalled a sound profile editor.
To fix it I found that the following worked for me.
1) First pull down the menu from the home screen and set to SOUND.
2) Next go to Settings...Sound.
3) Scroll down and turn on Sound and Vibration
4) Pull down menu again and toggle to vibrate.
Now the correct icon will show in the status bar and you will get vibration notifications.
I totally found this by accident and it worked for me, hopefully will work for you too.
After upgrading to 4.3, my Gmail is vibrating every time I get a new email. I didn't have it set to do that before the update. I checked the Gmail settings for each of my accounts and the vibration notification is off. How is this still happening? Any ideas?
Somebody else has to have this issue.
You could clear data for Gmail and set it up again or try looking in Settings/Sound maybe there's something there. I'm not on TW 4.3 to try first hand.

I might have to try that after work today.
I cleared the data on the Gmail app and I am still getting a vibration on a new email. I attached a screenshot of my settings for that account. The vibrate is unchecked. My phone is set to vibrate mode right now. It has a sound that is supposed to play so is that maybe switching the sound to a vibration instead since I'm in vibration mode?
I just came across this too after flashing the stock rooted 4.3 ROM.
There seems to be no solution for this, and GS4 people have been complaining about it for a while. Haven't seen a real solution yet unfortunately.
In my case, my phone is on vibrate most of the time. When it's not on vibrate it can be nice to hear an audible notification when I receive a new email. But to be honest, audible Gmail notifications aren't that critical for me. So I set the Gmail notification ringtone to Silent and now my GS3 doesn't vibrate when I receive emails.

Same! Same issue. Really is annoying.

OK, glad I'm not the only one that is having this issue. It's really annoying and I might just have to shut off the sound for it. Does shutting the sound off fix the vibration when you are in vibrate mode?

Yes, setting the notification tone inside the Gmail app to "Silent" will stop the phone from vibrating when you receive an email, while in vibrate mode.
