When I turn on vibration on the notification bar my phone doesn't vibrate when I get sms but it does vibrate when someone calls me.

I saw that there is settings in Messaging > Settings > Vibrate where I can only check that option, while on some other phone I saw on the internet, that, there is a new menu that offers you to check always, only in silent mode and never.

So I want to ask what can I do that my phone vibrate when I get sms on vibration mode? But only then, I don't want it to vibrate when it is on sound mode.

Thanks a lot

This sounds like the old Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) had the option to set vibrate to one of three options, from within SMS Messaging App in Settings:

  • Always
  • Only when Silent
  • Never

In the newer version of Android 4.x. Ice Cream Sandwich and upwards, that was changed slightly, now the settings reflect as:

  • Enable, by tapping on Notifications (First, that's a pre-requisite as it will activate the options underneath it Notification tone and Notification vibration respectively!)
  • Then enable, by tapping on this Notification vibration.

Yes, the settings is like that. But when I check vibration notification, it will vibrate when I get message, although I set in my notification bar sound mode, and I want it to vibrate only in vibrate mode. I want to set my phone to work like that if it is possible. I don't want every time when I turn sound mode to go to these settings and unchecking vibration notification – Olivia Dec 31 '12 at 0:44
Right, correct me, you want to vibrate in silent mode upon receiving a SMS? i.e. no playing a notification sound, yet vibrate? – t0mm13b Dec 31 '12 at 0:51

I want that when i set a sound mode in notification bar it only gives me sound, and when set vibrate mode it only vibrate. The problem is only with sms, not with calls when i set it in notification bar. So when it is set to vibrate mode if I uncheck vibrate notification in message settings it will not vibrate, it only turned on displey without anything else. I hope you understand what is problem Thanks
