Vibrate stopped working..?

So my Eris has been working fine with Handcent SMS for 2 months now, and all of a suddenly it decides to stop vibrating when I receive text messages. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using Chomp, and even resorting to just plain Stock and the vibrate notification still doesn't work. The sound notification still goes off, and its not a hardware problem because when I set my phone's volume to Vibrate Only, its vibrates. Anyone else have this problem?
 
i have the eris and it vibrates on messages.
i guessing you already went to your handcent program via the programs button, clicked on menu and went to settings to make sure. other than that i have no idea. GOOD LUCK
 
Yeah, things aren't looking good so far. Do you know if I would have to re-activate my phone if I factory reset it?

Click to expand...

No, you will not have to do the initial activation. It will prompt you to re enter your google acct. info. You will also have to program the phone for your area...if memory serves me correctly, the phone prompted me for that too. ( it dialed *228 then option 2) . Once that was done, I downloaded my apps again.. synced my contacts and was done....
It WILL NOT WIPE your AF card so no worries about losing music/pics etc.. from it
 
Did you try a factory reset? Mine has done the same thing, no vibrate on SMS with Handcent and on email notification, but vibrates fine in vibrate mode...
 
Try loading up the default SMS application and going to the settings menu (while not actually inside of a message view) and enable the vibration from there.

Handscent might use the system default. Worth a shot.
 
Happened to me. Download Sound Manager from the market. Open it, click Menu and then vibrate settings and change the settings to your liking. No factory reset needed.
