Phone won't vibrate on incoming sms - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

My phone is rooted and was rooted immediately when I got it. I usually use go sms for texting, but noticed it wasn't vibrating. It won't vibrate using handcent or pansi sms either. I'd this happening to anyone else? I really hate the stock messaging. I hope this didn't happen due to rooting it, but I never tried it before root. I don't have time to unroot to see if thats the issue either

Mine won't vibrate on STOCK SMS.

Shrug, my phone vibrates on SMS as long as I have it set to vibrate on SMS.
Don't know why yours doesn't.

You got vibration notification turned on?

Text Message Issue

So I've noticed that ever since this OTA update from almost 2 months ago happened, my phone has been acting weird with the standard messaging app. When I go to text someone (I know for a fact I'm entering a message to the right person), it automatically sends that message to someone else. Now this hasn't gotten me into huge trouble yet, if you know what I mean lol but its quite annoying! Any advice?

Vibrate function not working

Does anyone have a clue why vibrate function would stop working? It does seem like it is very very slight, it happened before, then it started working again but felt for some time like phone had a bad cough then got normal, now it stopped working again and is back to being slight.

Mine has a longer turnaround time. It did not work for weeks. I thought it was memory issue because it stopped working when I did a lot of downloading and then started working when I froze a lot of bloat. But now no such thing happened, I have enough memory.
This would happen to me on my nexus s. I would just reboot and all would be fine.

Have you tried Vibrate Tools?
It fixed an issue I had where notifications from Go SMS weren't vibrating. After I used the app it worked again.

I think It's just a problem with the motor. You should probably send it back in. That's what I'm going to try and do.

Phone call vibration.

Whenever I'm in a phone call my phone does a short vibration two times then the screen lights up and does it again happens all the time when I'm on my phone and always does a two vibration tone. I check setting and there was nothing in it :/ I'm running absolution 3.7 and Idk its just annoying anyway I can. Get it to stop?

That may be a notification. I think by design, while your on a call, notifications go to vibrate mode to avoid blowing your ear out with the tone I have had this happen to me in the past and wondered what it was, then figured it out when I realized I had new email after the call. It seems strange though, because I always thought data was off during a call.
No its both a notification and just a dual vibration :/ it just is annoying hearing it go off even on silent it does it -.-

Just noticed in another thread that CM7 has a setting for vibrate on outgoing calls. Is it possible that could be in your ROM somewhere? Just a guess.
I have everything unchecked and its vibration seems to happen whenever the screen turns back on during a phone call like ill lock the phone but randomly the screen "rotates" and comes back on and the it vibrates :/... I'm thinking of just reflashing the rom because I don't even have a ringtone for when people call :/ blah

Anyone having problems with SMS and Mail app badges?

Have new text messages and new emails that don't show up as numbers on the SMS or mail app? Anyone have this issue?
I did have this issue. When it happened to me I was actively using the phone and didn't get the notification at all for some reason.
Is this the scenario that it happened for you? or was your screen locked?
I've had it happen multiple times since Saturday. Just checked and I had over 4 texts that i never was notified about.

I think that's what happened. Yesterday I got a text: no notification, no sound, no vibration, and no badge. Had no clue I had a text until this morning.
Happens to me constantly

So any idea why this is happening and how to stop it from happening?

[Q] Sounds Issue

Anyone else having a problem with their sounds after "un-muting" the phone? Example being I mute the phone at night or for a meeting, then when I turn the volume back up I notice my sounds for texts, fb, emails, etc do not work anymore, and I have to go back and manually reset them. The phone ringer does still work though. Just curious if it's something I am doing wrong or have overlooked. Not rooted or unlocked. Yet.
My phone does the same thing with the sounds. Except ive never muted my phone and im unlocked and rooted

The only thing I've noticed about sound is that ringtones and notifications go thru the head phones or bluetooth device when one is connected, instead of the back speaker.
Further Observations
Last night I tried turning the volume down to the lowest setting, but that was no good either. Today I have received a handfull of emails with no sound at all after I turned the volume back up. I can't verify texts yet as I haven't received any to this point. If it makes a difference or not these are all custom alerts or tones, not "factory" sounds.
Mine r factory tones i still hav the problem. I believe its a software issue the brand new phones have

Moto or ICS?
Hypothesis
After several weeks, I think I may have figured it out somewhat, at least for me. It seems if I have the phone plugged into my computer usb either in mass storage or media mode, and get an alert of some kind (sms, email, etc) it will cause the sounds issue. If I just use the wall charger, I don't seem to get the sounds issue.
