Android: Vibrate on Receive of Text Message

thanks you for the help it works

this was so helpful. i got my android phone yesterday (the Express from Sprint) still too new for the sprint store to know how to transfer content.. 509 contacts are a little bit much to enter in one by one.. haha but yes ive been trying all night to figure out how to set it to vibrate for texts, this was the only website that actually helped. thank you so much!
one question tho, is there a way to personalize ringtones for texts when its not on vibrate? for example, if i wanted a bob marley song to play for a friend of mine when they text, is there a way to set that?

Since I got my replacement Droid 2 from Verizon (about 2 months ago) I couldn't get my phone to vibrate when I received a text. After following the steps above, it is now working.. I can't believe I went for 2 months before I found this site.

Thank you guys!

thank you so much, i reset my phone and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't vibrate when i got a text, when i set it to vibrate and not beep or ring. this box wasn't checked....thanks again.

I just had to go to a Verizon store due to multiple issues regarding my Droid2. The rep was very helpful. She did a factory reset and fixed a number of problems. However, vibrate no longer worked when receiving texts. Your instructions solved the problem!!! Thanks so much!

how easy was that?! you would think it would be in the phone settings... thanks so much!!!

i always thought something with my droid was wrong, and the verizon store didnt know how to fix it either,! this helped me so much and now my phone vibrate works perfectly when i get a text,.!

Good shit, men. Many thanks. So easy, I would have had higher self esteem had I figured it out myself.

i felt so stupid wheh i couldnt get this to work! thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you soooo much!!! :D

I've gone a year missing texts! No more! Thanks!

Thank you!! No more vibrating on the nighstand at night in the middle of the night!

had my transform for sprint for about 1 month and couldnt ever get it to vibrate on incoming texts. thanks alot. never thought to even look here for settings.

it worked perfectly

Now my X is perfect thanks

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and That still wont work. I've Tried Everything. I think it's just a stupid glitch.

This was harder then it should have been. This article saved me. Text vibrate plus blink have perfected my phone text.

Thank you for this. I've been wanting to put my phone on vibrate for texts but never knew how.

thks so much for your how to
feel kinda stupid now i know how to ^^

Even with putting vibrate in all the settings it would not vibrate for messages. The Missed call app fixed it.

the picture worked great. thank you so much for this! it was making me so mad!

And it does vibrate when I push the white buttons.

I love my Droid but it is driving me crazy that I can't seem to get my phone to vibrate more than the standard (2 quick buzzes) when an event reminder is set. That means I miss all of my meetings for work etc. I have tried everything (Missed Call, Event Notification, Handcent, Google Notification, etc.) but nothing gives strong or long vibrations for events!! Can someone please help?!!! Thanks in advance.

Thank-you for the picture instructions, worked perfect. A+ to you!
