Help [Froyo] Vibrate on Incoming Text?

Hey folks. Updated to Froyo and everything was great. Then I decided to mess around in some of the more technical menus and lost sound on incoming ringtones/notifications. As a result, I simply decided to do a factory reset.

After doing that, I noticed my text alert is no longer accompanied by vibration. Went back into messaging and looked for the vibration center under the ringtone, and... it was nowhere to be found. Did they relocate this setting in 2.2? Did something goof up in my factory reset? Any other ways I could go about finding this?

Even if you don't have a solution for this, let me know if the option is still there in the Messaging app's "Settings" menu, or if this is across the board.

EDIT: Actually, I didn't find the setting itself... but I set to use Ringer volume for notifications and texted myself. The text was accompanied by vibration. Unchecked it, and the phone is still vibrating for texts. Problem solved. Interested to see if that menu option is missing for everyone, though.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
i just did this with a similar issue - i would actually like to turn OFF the vibration for incoming texts, and still have it on for phone calls, like i used to be able to - any ideas?
 
I have noticed that you can no longer cycle down from ringtone to vibrate to silent using the volume button, as you could with 2.1. Does anyone know why this is? Otherwise you have to go into the sound settings and set vibrate for "silent". Very buggy upgrade. The phone seems to burn through battery a lot faster now too.

From what I've heard, this is actually a change in the official Android source code, and has nothing to do with Samsung. Not sure why they decided to do it that way.
