Vibration Bug ICS - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else notice that you cant change the vibration pattern on this phone?
I changed it and it still uses the default vibration when a text comes in?
Confirmed on 2 phones so far.

No. I can very well change and make a custom one too.
And the one I have chosen applies when a call comes. I am sure.

I thought it is only for calls?

Setting one to a contact doesn't work either. Test it please with a text if possible

I tried to set the vibrate to heartbeat and doesn't work on text messages.

Are you using the stock messaging app? What rom and phone are you using?

Yes, stock messaging app on SGS2 (as the forum states). I'm on stock KE2 and rooted via chainfire's rooting method then reflashed stock kernel.
Have you turned on always vibrate from within the messaging app? Go to all threads in the app, press menu, then settings, scroll down to notification settings, then press the option that says "Vibration" and make sure the option for always vibrate is selected.

I would but the setting isn't even there which is what surprised me most!
EDIT: I found an app to let me enable that vibration and it works now but it should be there as an option by default!!! WTF SAMSUNG!

Hey guys, same problem here.
darkalchemist, which app allows to enable vibration? thanks in advance.

Notification ringtone won't change?

I changed my notification ringtone to cheeper or something like that and the phone continues to use sherbet which was the factory setting. Any ideas?

did you set it for the specific application? maybe its a different app tone u need to change.
I found it. There is extra settings within the stock text messaging app that allows you to change the sound. My past phones just use the default notification sound. First samsung... Thanks.

nps. different apps use different notifications. that one is used for gmail alot.

[Q] Can I disable screen on when I receive an sms?

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Same question anyone?

Bump
interested in that too
Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

strange, people use handcent just for mms and you are having issues ,, might be problem with settings

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.

BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

Screen on when text message received?

I noticed that when I receive text messages and my screen is off, it will turn on my screen to show the message. I turned off the message display, but is there any way to prevent the screen from turning on?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Pretty sure that is a ics feature and i do not know of any way to turn it off. If i recall correctly Jelly bean does not have this feature in it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
I didn't have it on my e4gt on ics, looks like a common feature on a lot of vendor skins though. I resolved it by switching to go sms.

You can also get SMSPop from the store its free and there is a setting to never turn screen on... had it from day one works great.
got LGOG?

"Speed rom" incoming calls issue.

I flashed speeed rom on my pbone, I set up a lock screen. When I receive calls it doesn't show who's calling unless I unlock phone first. Anyway to fix that. Usually call will come up and the caller I'd will show and I can answer instead of having to put in lockscreen code first.

So how exactly did you fix this issue?

it's the lock screen issue.. if you want to answer calls over your lock screen you'll have to use a different lock screen.. i think fourth bar had that issue if you didnt use the holo lock screen and you used the stock one...
