I have had my Droid X for about a week and cannot figure out how to get the phone to vibrate when a txt/chat/email arrives when the phone is set to silent. I have checked all the setting and vibrate is checked everwhere and the phone still does not vibrate when a new alert come in. any thoughts?

i had the same problem then i finaly figured it out. open your text messages and then pess the hard menu button. screen on the bottom should pop up and then press messaging settings.

Mind letting the rest of us know how you fixed it, in case someone else comes around here having the same issue?

AudioManager works fine for me when setting the alarm or ringer to vibrate when going off. I don't understand why it wouldn't do anything for you unless you had another application changing the vibration settings and overriding AudioManager.

Actually i do have a question about this option. If someone could test this let me know. I do not want to have my text messages vibrate so the option in text messaging setting is uncheck. But if I was to use the controls from the volume button to set the volume and I goto the Vibrate option my text messages do not vibrate.
