Help Vibrate doesn't work with SMS notifications

[jblazea50]

My phone doesn't vibrate anymore whenever I receive a text. It is set up to vibrate, but still nothing. I thought it was a problem with Handcent app, but I removed that app, and was still not vibrating.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it vibrate for anything at all?

I presume the vibrate option in the messaging settings is still ticked? If so, have you tried un-ticking and re-ticking it.

it vibrates for phone calls; it used to vibrate for texts;

yeah, i tried unticking and ticking as well as rebooting; i also reset to factory setting and still not working

I just started having the same problem this week. I have also went through factory defaulting the phone and setting everything backup including the vibrate always setting for notifications

Did anyone find a fix for this issue?

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.

I had this problem too, nothing worked. Toggled native messenger app vibrate on/off, tried Handcent long/short/custom, etc. Nothing worked, phone vibrated for calls, but not messages.

Read on howardforums to try the app "Sound Manager," use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it worked.

Handcent & native messaging vibrate upon receive message and can set custom length vibrate alerts in Hancent. App is in the market for free, good luck.
