[Q] How do I get vibration alerts?

My ringer is usually off and I can't keep looking at my screen (e.g., for NoLED) when I'm with patients. I've been unable to get vibration notifications of incoming text messages, although as far as I can tell I've selected everything to do with vibration in Settings.
Surely there's a way to get this that I'm missing.

in the sound settings, select vibrate and choose an option like vibrate only in silent mode or always. in the messages app, choose settings and select vibrate. choose vibrate only in silent mode or always

Right. I've done that (Vibrate Always in both Settings and Messaging), yet it doesn't vibrate for anything except calls.

be certain that notifications are enabled in the messaging app.
there was a similar problem on a couple htc phones i had. i used a program from the market called 'sound manager', i believe it was. then i set everything the way i wanted it, did a test and vibrate worked. then when i deleted the sound manager app the settings stuck and my messages still alerted via vibration. good luck.

I'm starting to think this might be a Gingerbread bug, man, cuz I don't get vibrations on text either
I used to think it was CM7 but I have the same problem on stock.

Lost notification sound

Hello. Today my notification sound stopped working. My ringtone plays fine, but when I receive a message for example, there's no "Ting", the phone just vibrates. I'm using Cataclysm rom and franco's r13 kernel, and I've also flashed Drummerjed's volume mod. I don't know exactly when I lost notification sound since my phone stays on Silent/Vibrate for the major part of the day...
When I go into Settings > Sound > Default notification sound and select a tone, it doesn't play (if I go into Phone ringtone everything plays fine)
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!

got the exact same probably going on.

Custom notifications not working?

Anyone having this issue? I can put them on the SD card or internal storage in /Notifications/ respectively, and I can select them in the sound settings, but it still plays the default notification sound when I get a message.

I originally put a custom notification sound in the "Notifications"folder as well. It didn't even pop up in the notification sound selection menu for me. I had to place the sound in /media/audio/notifications/ and then it showed up in the menu for me and it worked fine. Try giving that a shot!

Tried that, still default notification. Thanks though.

Ok, so I was in Target (which has horrible reception) and switched to roaming (has happened in this Target with every VZW phone I've ever had), and that played by custom nofication, but any SMS, MMS, etc plays the default notification sound still...

so does that mean you can't put ringtone/notifications on an SD card ?
anyone know if this phone does custom notification lights ?

[Q] CM11S Notification Audio GONE! How to get them back?

My audio has disappeared for notifications. I think its part of profiles screwing something up but I have been unable to reset things so I can get my notifications to work again.
When you try to set the notification sound none of the previews work. Setting a ringtone works, just not notification.
I am on stock CM11S for now.
Does anyone have a workaround? I thought this CM bug was fixed back in CM10
Thanks

Could you get this working? I'm having the same issue, no notification sound on any app, I can't even get the sound preview on the settings app.

Are your notifications separate from ringtone?
Settings -> Sound -> Volumes -> Link ringtone.....

I have the same issue:
Symptoms:
No sound, just vibrate whenever there is a notification
Ringtone works perfectly
when going through the sound settings menu for notifications I get a list of all notifications. Clicking on any of these results in no sound whatsoever. (I used to get a preview of what that tone sounded like).
I've tried everything short of a factory reset
I'm running the latest OTA, but this issue was occuring before the latest OTA as well
I installed the infamous cm11 theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.infamous.cm.theme) and then uninstalled it. I think my sound stopped working then but I'm not sure.
Could it be my notification sound files have been deleted? Where can I find them on my system? Browsing through I don't see anything under /notifications or /media/notifications
Some searching unearthed this bug (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-6) . It seems to describe my symptoms but I've never used profiles. I used quiet hours but have disabled it completely.
Please help! I really don't want to factory reset. And if I have to, how do I back everything up and then restore (whilst still having my sound fixed?)

THANK YOU!
This fixed it. For reference go to Settings -> Sound -> Volumes and uncheck the 'link ringtone and notification volumes' box. Max out the notification volume and you should be golden. You can recheck it again if you'd like.

I posted on multiple sites out of pure frustration (it was a canned post). Hit thanks, I owe you one

The notification .ogg files hould be in /system/media/notifications folder.

No ring at all, speaker ok other sounds normal

My phone doesn't ring, recheck settings and installed sound booster, but no ring.
Music and whatsapp notification works.
Checked all settings looks ok.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
