Note SMS/mms vibration trouble - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I tried to search to see if anyone else had the issue, but all I could come up with was different problems. My phone, all original Samsung ics, has stopped vibrating upon SMS and MMS notifications when the phone is in the vibrate setting, the phone works fine. Audible notifications work fine, but I rely on vibrate/silent a lot, and this is agitating. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it, or should I just take this opportunity to root it and hope it works out? Thanks in advance!

Which galaxy note do you have? The international version or ? Also, do the touch buttons on the bottom still vibrate? Or when you type?

The AT&T version/LTE. Yes, the feedback, plus typing does work fine. Same with the phone ringer as well. Every once in a while the home key vibrates a bit long/harder than usual, but aside from that everything else is fine.

Okay, we are going to do a rest, go to Google play and download handcent its a SMS app, use it to text someone while set on vibrate. If that vibrates or not let me know. If is does, its a problem with your stock SMS if it doesn't still, make sure all vibrate settings are on (there is quite a few) if no again, you will have to hard reset it, everything will be erased, remember to remove memory card, and finally if that doesn't work, its the phone, either get it looked at or you may just have to deal. Rooting has perks, it also could fix this problem (not promising anything on that tho lol)

I'm sorry, I should have specified, I already did try handcent and gosms I think it was? Both work fine! I have been trying to avoid hard resets/erasing everything because I didn't want to lose some stuff I have setup, it is always so tedious! Haha. Anyhow, I think it is the native messaging app, I just figured maybe it had happened prior to someone else, and there was some possible fix without having to go through all that setup again! I guess I'm done being able to avoid it. Haha
Thanks for all the help, I do appreciate it!

Well, installing and removing those other SMS apps a few times seems to have "fixed" it, and all my vibration notifications are back again!

Text issues

Recently my thunderbolt has been sending 4 copies of the same text message to everyone. Has anyone encountered this problem or know of a fix?

Mine sent a message three times today. Not sure why. Using Go SMS Pro.
This is a Verizon network issue, along with several others regarding the thunderbolt. Hopefully it will be fixed soon .

I'm having a different kind of texting issue.
Sometimes when people text me, I'll pull down the notification bar to reply, write my message, and try to send. But the "Send" button is greyed out! I have to close out and reopen for it to work again.
Are you running a custom Rom or a different sms app than stock?

Yes that was directed at you. For the little time that i was on stock i was noticing that too. I think that it is a bug with the sense text. I disabled everything in stock sms and started using go sms, seams to have fixed it for me.
Sense seems to have some issues updating it's texting widget for me, I'll get the notification for a new sms, I'll go to my widget screen to read it and it won't be there, it's not until I go through the notification bar to read it that it shows up, kinda annoying.

SMS/MMS Notification Sound Cut Off

Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)

Good luck

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.

Truncated / Cut short SMS Notifications

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks,
J
Same problem here, its totally random.
I've noticed this myself a few times as well.
I had it, I changed to a different notification sound and that fixed it. Not sure if you can go back after? Whistle annoyed me so didn't try.

Do you keep your phone screen down on a table, there's a motion settings to mute ringtones if the phone is placed screen down on a table.

Home button needs pressing twice?

I've had the Galaxy S3 about 2-3 weeks now and running the latest stock firmware with nova launcher since the beginning but seem to have an issue with the home button. I'm finding when I'm in apps and want to exit them going back to the home screen by pushing the home button a lot of the time I'm having to press it twice, why is this? Is this a know issue? Could Nova launcher be causing this or even worse a hardware issue?
Sometimes it works fine but only usually after I've already double tapped it twice but comes back again after leaving the phone for a while. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Imho doublepush of the home button will cause Svoice to popup..

You're correct however I'm not pushing it quick enough for this to happen. I’m literally pushing it realising after a second or so it's not returning me to the homescreen and then having to push it again & it works.
I tried a second delay and you are right, it wont pop up. Definitely something with rom.

It's not popping up S-Voice which is the problem here, it's me returning to the homescreen from within apps, I push the home button from within an app to return to the homescreen only for nothing to happen hence why I have to push it a second time.

I do have to say though...
Disabling shortcut (click home button twice to launch S Voice) makes the home button responsive a lot better.
You can try that...

[Q] After 4.1.2 update, phone is announcing out loud who is calling and who is textin

I used voodoo to backup my root, updated to 4.1.2 and then re-rooted... working fine. Then, just yesterday, all of a sudden, my phone has started announcing who is calling and texting me. "Text from XXXXXX" "Call From XXXXX".
I checked to make sure I dont have driving mode on, which I do not. I have no idea how to turn this off. I have not downloaded any new apps.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

I'd first check out the accessibility section of the phone settings to see if the Talk Back service is enable. It's possible if you accepted the OTA that your carrier may have enabled this feature by default.
Secondly, I'd check to see if you have your account set to auto update your downloaded apps? It's possible if you have your account set to update apps automatically that an app that you have on your phone was updated and now provides the ability to speak aloud who is calling and texting by default.
My talk back service is off, however my atuo update is on. Is there anyway to see which apps were just recently updated?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
It depends on if you have Titanium Backup or not. If you don't have Titanium Backup, then you can look at the main page of each suspect app individually from within the play store and it should tell you the last time it was updated at the end of the description section of the app.
Do you know if I download it know, will it still tell me? Or would I would have had to had it installed at the time of the app update?

I found the culprit. It was an app called Mr Number. Its for call blocking calls and texts. Thanks for all the responses
