Anyone able to get Hancent SMS LED Notifications to work? It works with GoSMS but I can't seem to get it to work with Handcent.
Go to: Notification settings ---> Notification settings ---> LED flash frequency and set Normal, it works for me

Hi. I'm using MiniCM7-2.1.7 ROM over nAa kernel v9 (x10 mini pro)
Call vibration works fine, but sms vibration doesn't work. My vibration option is set to 'always'.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Could be your messaging app. I'm on MiniCM7Pro and the messaging app that comes with it has vibrate turned off by default.
u can use go sms pro which will automatically start vibration on ur mobile
if not go to the cm settings and sound setting and u can find notification settings where u can set vibration to ur notification which means messages
Thank you guys for your answers. I found an option (not cm settings) where the notifications vibration was off. Just opened stock messaging app and pressed menu button for settings. (((SOLVED)))
Now I'd like to know your opinion about GO SMS. Some months ago y tested it...worked fine for a few days, and then it blocked my incoming sms . It said that my sms memory was full, or something like that. I erased messages, and could not fix it.
Now I'm testing it again. I love the custom led color notification, based on recipient, and other options.
Did you guys have any issue with GO SMS? Do you recommend this app?
Thanks a lot!
I had a feeling it was the messaging app that was at fault..
I don't what's causing the problem with GO SMS, but it may be worth trying Handcent SMS instead. The two apps are very similar (to the point where you start to wonder if it's deliberate) and you still have all the options for customising your notifications.
Handcent doesn't have the social network bits that GO SMS has, but I can attest to its stability as I've been using it for the best part of a year without any problems at all.
Thanks Tickefish for your help.

I'm having trouble with Handcent and notifications - namely double notifications with the stock Messaging app (even when everything is checked off in the ATT app) and then the Handcent app can't wake the phone, just makes the alert sound, of which there's two separate notice sounds.
ALSO, no red dot notification on the HC widget using Go Launcher EX with Go Notification installed. Any ideas?
just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications...... i had to do it, and had to do it with gosms.
yes.. go into default messaging text app click menu,,scroll to bottom and disable notifications......then in handcent click menu>Applications setting> Default Messaging application >Allow All Sms & Mms ,for default..
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.

Setting > [email protected] > ringtone &vibrate

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?

If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
Love the Inc 4G but cannot find out how to get the screen to turn onto the lock screen when I receive an incoming text message.
Any ideas?
Using the stock messaging app but also tried SMS Pop UP and Handcent.
Thanks!
I use Go Sms, which those settings are under Notification Settings
smsAwake, it's what i use! works pretty well anyways if you like the stock messaging app
tweaks will come
