Vibrate problems with 2.1!

[tee00max]

Im recently having a problem with the vibrate function with text messages. When getting a new text, it acts as if its on silent and not vibrate or anything but when i receive a phone call it vibrates. So i download Handscent to see if it vibrates with that app and it didnt. I have been throuh all the settings it seems like and I still cant get a vibrate with new sms messages. Any help?

is notifications turned off on the stock messages app?

do you have a profile app like EAR or quick profiles on the phone?

 

[tee00max]

yes the notifications are turned on and no i dont have any apps like that...

 

[Caddyman]

turn notifications off on stock message app

set notif's for handcent

test.

 

[tee00max]

i already did that and it still didnt vibrate.

 

[Caddyman]

[tee00max]

Same problem here. Using handcent and no vibrate with message, have tried all of the above suggested.

I was wondering was it just me or what....

What ROM are you using? This hasn't happened to me using Bugless beast and I haven't seen any serious bugs(maybe even any bugs at all) on this ROM so if you have a recent backup you should load it and install BuglessBeast.

If not just try rebooting the phone a couple times, I don't really know what to tell you.

im running the 2.1 on the Eris

Bugless Beast? Try restoring a back up and then installing it again.

I noticed the same issue today when I put my phone on Vib. Text was not vibrating. I only use the stock messaging app but was able to fix it.
1. Open a text message
2. Select "Menu" then "Settings"
3. Scroll till you see "vibrate" and make sure it is checked.

Mine wasn't and once I did and put the phone on Vibrate then the text messages also vibrated. Hope that helps.

yeah that the first thing that I did was go to that option and check it...If i didnt upgrade the os to 2.1 i would call them for them to send me a new one.

OK just making sure, allot of people don't realize there are 2 separate settings for vibrate. One for global and one for the stock messaging app itself.

 

[tee00max]

one for global?...the phone app works when its on vibrate, it vibrates.

For Phone:
From the home screen:
Menu/settings/sound & Display Phone Vibrate

For messaging.
From inside Messaging:
Menu/settings Vibrate

You're not going crazy man. I've been having the exact same issue. I have no idea how to fix it and have tinkered around with it a BUNCH to no avail. If I figure something out that works, I'll let you know.

yeah man def do that, i guess we are going to have to wait till the official 2.1 comes out and see if that fixes it and if not then Verizon will be gettin a call for a replacement because I only had this phone not even a week yet.
