[Q] Inspire suddenly stopped vibrating w/SMS

Seems to be somewhat common but no fix to be found...
Using CM7.1
Was working perfectly for a month.
Seemed to happen out of no where, no new apps installed or settings changed. The phone will vibrate for incoming calls, haptic, everything except SMS.
Using GoSMS but it does the same with the stock messanging app. Vibration is turned on in all the system and messanging settings. In fact, when I test settings in GoSMS it reports "vibration on".
Tried clearing the dalvik cache and tried installing this app but it won't show anywhere in the app drawer and I can't find it anywhere on the phone despite the market saying its installed. Unfortunate becasue it seems this app was designed for this very issue with desire/insprire.
Anyone have a fix for this or a method I could get the above app to install properly?
Thanks.

edit.....It's looking like an app issue......
never mind on the rom repair part....sorry
mods can delete....g

Gregsarg was actually probably right the first time. It doesn't seem to be an APP issue (as all MMS apps have the same lack of vibrate), but a broader issue.
His suggestion to install CM7 on top of itself is likely the simplest attempt at solution since you haven't found a specific solution through your searches.
I also tried the GoodVibrations.apk and it only shows in airdroid, mybackup, and managing all apps... It doesn't even have the 'open' command on the market menu after installing it >.>

Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't see this suggestion before it was edited out. What exactly is meant by install CM7 on top of itself? Through clockwork I presume?

Yeah, just flash the SAME rom again (after backing up AND without wiping anything), and your settings should stay in place.

There is also a setting in the stock CM sms app that controls vibration, which is turned off by default.

Yeah vibrate in the stock SMS program is on. While I haven't gotten around to reflashing just yet I have noticed a few other things that lead me to believe its a ROM issue. Sometimes when I put the phone on silent it turns off all system vibrations even after coming off silent. I have to go back in and turn vibration back on. This is intermittent. Also, out of the blue the phone started vibrating during calls, come to find out "vibrate every 45 seconds during outgoing calls" was magically turned on.
It WILL vibrate when an SMS arrives if I'm on a call. Swell.

Flashed the new 7.2 nightly and the problem still exists. Everything remained intact after the flash so I figure I'll just do a full wipe/factory reset and flash the new nightly again and start over. Hopefully whatever caused this won't carry over with titanium restoring apps.

Do the full wipe, install the rom... then get a friend to send you text messages BEFORE you restore from Titanium, and then after....
Easy to isolate if you're carrying the issue from ROM to ROM.

Had the same issue, could find no fix. Used vibrate tools from the market and no issues for a week or so now..

That did it thanks! Saved me from having to do a full wipe. Phone is back to vibrating with SMS and I can change the vibration pattern. Nice.

Cool, glad it worked for you. I really wish I knew what happened though, it's kind of bugging me.
Meh, technology..

Well I'll add this... Out of curiosity I removed the vibrate tools app and everything is still operating as designed. So whatever that app turned on has stuck.

Phone app not appearing on incoming calls.

I'm using a Nexus 5 on Sprint with a rooted stock 4.4.2. When a call comes in and the display is off, a black screen appears. If the display is on, the phone application does not appear. I can't answer the phone! If start the phone app, it asks if I want to join current call, add another call and something else. None of the options do anything.
I have trying clearing the Phone apps's data and even Google Dialer's data and rebooting the phone. Does nothing.
How do I fix my phone app?

You can push a new image to your phone and reflash it.

Factory Reset and try and if not then flash factory image and go 100% stock - no root.

I have the same issue.

I have the same issue.
I contacted yesterday, Google and the LG customer service center.
This issue not been reported, was advised factory reset or device replacement.
I replaced the device, because it is already factory reset.
Contact Google and LG.
There is no other way, but not understood.

[Q] Phone only rings for about one second and then stops.

After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.

Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?

update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.

Notifications repeating on watch

Hi all, just updated to tizen 4.0 and am having a problem with the notifications that I get. The initial notification comes in fine, but the it clears itself, then comes back as a new notification until I clear or open it on my phone. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, but the notifications interrupt what I'm doing on the watch every time i go to use it. I've already tried factory resetting the watch 2 times and uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing data, and factory resetting my phone. Anything else I can do to try to resolve this? It is very annoying.

Xiaomi note 7 pro won't show incomming call

Since yesterday my dad telling me he cant see who is calling him, he need to open the phone, slide the notifications bar down and see who's calling.
The ringtone and the flash works if someone's calling and the screen light up but it just won't show who is calling just the lock screen. I've tried everything but nothing worked.
Any ideas?

I would recommend to simply wipe data and clear cache for apps like Dialer and Contacts etc
if still the problem exists then simply go for a Factory Reset, also the OTA update must fix the issue.
