I just purchased the Galaxy S III. The default vibrate was not good enough so I set a custom vibrate but it only works for phone calls and not for texts. When I get a text the default vibration is used. I downloaded Chomp SMS and set a custom vibrate in the and it still plays the default vibrate. Anyone have any answers for this one? Thanks in advance for everyone's help!!

I am still having the problem with vibrate on my texts. It will only do the default (which is two quick vibrates). This is very frustrating... please help!!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII through Virgin Mobile. I have a custom vibrate pattern set but when I get a text message the default vibrate pattern plays (two short vibrates). I am using the stock messenger app.
This is really frustrating does anyone have a solution?

or just answer the question if you know the fix if not dont post anything. im pretty sure custom vibrate only works for phone calls not texts.

I already had those settings maxed out (all slid over to the right). that only deals with the intensity not the custom vibrate. I set my own custom vibrate pattern which does not work for texts. The default vibrate for texts you can barely notice it is only 2 short pulses

As I stated in an earlier post I am only using the stock messenger app and I have changed the setting in that to use the custom vibrate pattern I created but it doesn't work.

As I said it maybe a faulty phone may need to take into repair center. Or just try a factory data reset

I don't believe it is the phone. As someone else stated they don't think custom vibrate is available for texts. Do you have a Galaxy S3 and if so does custom vibrate work on yours? I just downloaded an app called Vibration tools and the custom vibrate now works.
