So I rooted my phone and flashed to the latest Synergy ROM but now my phone doesn't vibrate when I get text messages. Only when I get a phone call. Is this a known issue with the ROM or is there a fix for this? I've enabled vibration and all of that but still nothing. This also happened with my EVO when I flashed to Cyanogenmod 9. Are there any ROMs out there that do vibrate for text messages?

In your messaging app hit your setting scroll down to notification setting and go to vibrate and set it to what you like!

I have developed a strange issue as of late with my text message notifications while my Fuze is in standby. When I have the system/ring volume up, it notifies me just fine, even when in standby, but when I put it to vibrate I get no notification (besides the flashing ring) of a text message or email. This only happens when I am running a rom that is not stock. The problem goes away when I flash back to stock, but re-appears again if I flash to a custom rom, regardless of which chef's rom I use. Any help would be much appreciated, as its killing me to be stuck on this stock rom lol.
this happens to me to , you should try G-profile . look it up on google or search it here .
basically you can make a profile that overrides all other profiles and if the notifacation only works for a period of time you can make enough profiles that it switches before it stops notifing again . :] good luck !
Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try if all else fails. I would really like to figure out the root of this issue, rather than a work-around. I have noticed questions about this issue pop up in other rom threads, but no answers seem to have been posted.
Edit: The phone functionality is unaffected by the change from tone to vibrate, it works as expected when I receive a phone call. The text message and email notifications, however, do not.
I have the same thing on the ROM is my sig.
The only way I found to make it work is that you have to check the Vibrate option in the Sounds & Notifications for the alert you want.
For example...New Test Message...it wouldn't vibrate if that was unchecked, but if I checked it, then it vibrates just fine.
for me i get text notifications but no email notifications :[ . i use the app for the work around because people have actually been mean to me saying that its impossible to not get notifacations :[
I have the same problem. Ive checked vibrate under text and all, yet it does not vibrate and only does the flashing ring. What should i do
I've notice that my Thunderbolt does not vibrate (on vibrate mode) when i recieve a SMS or MMS but it does work when the alarm goes off. My co worker's TB also does the same thing. Is this some kind of bug or something?
Is the power saver mode on? Have you checked settings to see if vibration feedback is enabled? Are you rooted? What rom/kernel are you running?

Ah this was it. Thanks a lot. I never had to do that on my Eris for it to work.
It is full stock i haven't touched anything on it yet.
I have a stock Froyo 2.2 Captivate. For the past month or two, whenever my phone is in vibrate only mode, the phone vibrates for phone calls, but does not vibrate properly for Gmail notifications. Specifically, if I'm holding the phone in my hand when a gmail arrives, I see the notification in the notification bar and feel the most slight millisecond vibration of the phone. I've tried checking general sound settings, gmail settings, and downloaded "Sound Manager" without any luck.
Somehow, it seems that the default vibrate has went from a long bold buzz to this slight millisecond buzz and I haven't found a way to get that back. I know you can customize those settings in specific situations with software such as HandCent but I don't know about fixing the general default vibrate buzz...
Any ideas for troubleshooting? Anyone with a solution?
Thanks!
There are separate notification settings for gmail...have you turned on vibration there?

Yea, the gmail settings are set for vibration.
and technically i'm getting vibration notifications, but the vibration is so slight and so short that I can only feel it if i'm holding the phone in my hand. settings> sound> vibration settings look normal and I can feel vibration with incoming phone calls but the vibrations for notifications are nearly imperceptible.
Ideas?
No one hear of this problem? Anywhere else I could look for solutions? I haven't been able to find anything about it around the web...

i have the same problem..no vibration settings for gmail!! i remember i could find them a couple of months ago...weird
For anyone coming across this problem:
After updating to the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 firmware, the problem resolved automatically and vibration notification are all working properly again. I still don't know what the problem was and if it was possible to fix it without flashing the firmware, but apparently that is one way to fix it.
I remember having the same issue on 2.2 with my phone too. I ended up downing a different gmail app that had a better vibration setting. But yah now with gingerbread that app wasnt needed anymore.
I guess I'm the odd one, I had no problems until I updated to the 2.3.5
Hi,
I have got an issue that when the new SMS arrives the phone doesn't vibrate. I checked all possible settings and it says everywhere that it should vibrate. I just have wiped the phone completely and reloaded it with my ROM (see signature) and then I sent text message to myself just after it rebooted first time and the problem still exists. It vibrates without any problems on incoming calls.
Any ideas what can cause that, or maybe there is hidden setting that I haven't found that prevents it from vibrating?
Thanks
OK, I have resolved that. It was set everywhere apart from the settings in "Messages". It was set to Vibrate->Never. I was not even aware of that setting... I think it wasn't there on my HD2 ROM or it was always set to vibrate.
Please close this thread.
A noob in need of help...
Coming from 2.3.5 rooted then updated to 2.3.6, lost root then rooted again... After the 2.3.6 update my screen back light would not respond or turn on and off in low light or dark rooms. I have to turn the room light on then press the unlock button to wake the phone. At times it responds quick to the light, most of the time i have to try multiple times. In sunlight this rarely happens! So I installed the supercharged ROM v5 hoping it would correct this and it continues to happen. Please help!
Also after installing supercharged ROM v5 and the update I stopped receiving text messages. I can send and they receive my message but I do not receive theirs. I noticed under settings/about/status that my phone number doesn't show anymore.
Edit: Well I see my number is back in setting/about/status... My problems are still going, but after turning my phone on this morning 1 text came in... i let the phone load up and had somebody text it and i received nothing!
Is there a way to check my text messaging settings for Att?
Im trying to avoid calling them...

I would say flash the fkz but create a Android backup of your data first. Just sounds something got corrupted during the OTA update.
