My phone stopped vibrating on notifications and incoming calls for some reason. So did my brothers at the same time. It'll still vibrates on screen unlock and haptic feedback. I have my e-mail set to vibrate only, sometime it'll vibrate, but more often than not, it wont. But never for notifications or calls. And yes i checked all the settings i could. (That i know of)
It first started when we switched to aosp mod from cm 6.1. So I tried flashing back to cm6.1(jaybob version) hoping it would fix, but it didn't. Yes, I did all the full wipes and everything. I really don't wanna RUU to see if its the phone or just the roms. I mean, it happened to my brothers phone at the same time, that can't just be coincidence.
Has anyone else seen this? or know what iI can try before I RUU?
i downloaded an app called sound manager. its free on the market. in there i clicked menu, vibrate settings. i enabled all the vibrate settings. tested it, then deleted the app. that reenabled my vibrations for messages and calls.

on aospMOD go into sound settings and for vibrate make sure you have it set to something other than never
Tried both of those suggestions and neither worked. Vibrate was set to always already.
I don't understand cause haptic feedback works but the actual vibrating will not.

Just flashed Serendipity, so far I like it. I do have one quick question tho:
Is it possible to have my phone set up to vibrate when I receive Texts/Phonecalls with this ROM?
I've tried everything that I can think of in the settings menu and haven't had any luck yet. And I searched the Serendipity ROM thread but didn't find anything specifically talking about this.

Go to Settings->Sound and set Vibrate to always, but I don't know that that works for SMS, you may have to set that manually, so go into the SMS app, then go menu->settings there, then go to notification settings and set vibrate to always in there as well.
In the sound settings, gor for the last option. It's disabled, so choose the option above it, turn it on, set the vibrate strenght and turn off the above one, it will save the options and vibration strength.
Attempted both of those:
I have my vibration intensity turned up to the maximum level and still have absolutely no vibration whatsoever.
Does anyone know of a vibration fix or anything for the Captivate that might alleviate this issue?
Try this: go into the SMS app>Settings>Notification Settings>Vibrate Pattern
You can set it to Normal/Medium/Long/Multiple Short/Multiple Long.
That should work for you!

I believe you are talking about the "Haptic Feedback", right? If so, then I don't think this effects incoming notifications. That is only for the vibration per screen touch...
Tried what you mentioned seth and still have no luck.
I have no haptic feedback and have no vibration when receiving a phonecall or text message.
I attached some screen captures I took showing that I have the proper boxes checked.
I have no vibration whatsoever however. I receive no haptic feedback when I hit my home soft key and I receive no vibration when I receive a text/phone call.
I'm kind of at a loss for what to do because I haven't seen any other threads about similar issues around the forum. Any ideas?
edit: oh, BTW, I flashed back to stock and then flashed Phoenix ROM thinking maybe I had a bad flash with the flashing of the Serendipity ROM but the problem persists.
Does it work on stock?

Hmm. Well that sucks.
The loss of my haptic and vibration is really the only thing not working exactly like I want it to so I guess I'll just do without unless something else begins to act up.
Thanks for the input tho.

Happened on my iPhone before I got my Captivate. Got so used to it, I disable all vibrating/haptic on every rom anyway.
Most of the time if you are having trouble with vibration settings, download the "Sound Manager" app from the Market. It can fix a lot of notification problems.
Anyone besides me notice this is posted in the COMPLETELY wrong section?
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
It was dead for a month and a half...
i'm not completely sure, but i remember seeing an option on CM7 somewhere that said incoming calls to speakerphone. i turned it on, then i updated to 7.02, now i can't find that option anywhere, but it's still turned on. and ALL my incoming calls turn the speakerphone on without any way to stop it.
i've spent hours going through all 120 apps in my phone and in every single setting trying to find something to turn it off. I've even used titanium backup to try and wipe the settings and CM settings with no luck.
I don't mind this being a toggle on/off like the carmode app, but i can't have it always on. I have to ignore important calls now just because it takes 10 seconds for the phone to actually let me turn off the speaker.
so please, if anyone can help me here. i'm about ready to wipe the phone but i seriously don't want to waste and entire day doing that so someone please help.
I font remember ever seeing this option in my cyan 7. Interesting.

Yeah I don't recall that settings.
maybe it wasn't and i'm just crazy, but i'm still having this issue, and i'm about to wipe my phone to fix it, so if anyone knows any other way i'd seriously appreciate it.
Maybe try to wipe Cyanogenmod Settings using Titanium Backup? If all else fails...instead of doing a full wipe...try the /system only wipe that tamasek has in the nightly forum somewhere...that way...your data and apps are still in tact...and can just flash a new nightly...then if it still doesn't work...I guess you already know what to do.
I can't believe it but this actually happened to me today. I hung up and had the caller call back and it went back to normal.
Did you ever get it fixed? I put the newest stable version on my EVO and I have the same issue all outgoing calls go right to speakerphone and all incoming go right to speakerphone..
Also I notice carmode starts up on it's own as well.. but turning it off incoming/outgoing calls will still right to the speakerphone

Please help!
I have the AT&T version and I'm having the same issue. After a factory reset the vibration for notifications works again but then eventually stops working again...
no vibration
Mine stopped working recently. Not sure how to fix it. Is it something I installed? It does not vibrate for incoming texts or phone calls.
Flashing a stock ROM fixed this for me. I've seen others say that fixing permissions or wiping dalvik will fix too.
Only time this happens to me is when flashing ROMs
I'm sure this makes no difference but when I flash a ROM, I leave those bottom settings under Sound as the defaults. Aka haptic on.
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM. Do I need to be rooted to wipe the dalvik cache? What does "fix the permissions" mean? THANX!

That shouldn't happen running bone stock. Try a factory reset first if you have not done so already. Don't install any apps. Run the phone for a day. If your issue returns I would swap the phone out for a replacement.
The haptic motors in every Android device I've ever owned has done some weird thing or another. I stopped using it. Why blow the motor out early? Vibrate on silent for notifications I found to be sufficient. At first I was put off by changing my using habits but disabling haptic feedback has grown on me.
EDIT: I see you did a factory reset and it came back. I'd exchange for a different handset. Just me though. Someone here might have another solution
THANKS!!!!
;/
It's old topic, I know, but Im bumping it. Vibrations in external apps like facebook messenger or kakaotalk doesnt work for me, but for normal messages, phone calls etc it works, so I doubt its fault of phone. And in my Galaxy Ace before I had same issue, but it just stopped working after some update from devs of this apps i said. Though it would be strange that only few people has such problems. I think its something about settings or w/e, can anybody help here in this thread without saying 'factory reset or exchange phone' ?
Thanks <3
/stock ICS
This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.
Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?
Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.
I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.
Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?
Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.
That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.
I'm no longer getting vibrations on my wrist with my Gear Live. I haven't touched anything, but they just stopped. The motor does work however, I've tested it using the Phone Finder app. I've tried resetting the device, restarting the device, and making sure that it's not on mute. I can't seem to find settings for this anywhere; could someone help me out?
Edit: I love how as soon as I post this, vibration starts working again..
Could it be that certain apps aren't getting the thing to vibrate, but others are? Anyone else getting vibration notifications with Textra?
I swear vibration didn't work every time. It's so faint though that even when it does, I don't notice it

Watch not vibrating for text messages
I noticed my Gear Live wasn't vibrating for text messages. It seemed random whether or not it vibrated for text messages. It vibrated normally for all other notifications. I have now discovered (and I believe and hope it's a software issue) that my watch will vibrate every time for incoming texts if and only if my phone is set to silent or ring mode. If the phone is set to vibrate, my watch will not vibrate for incoming texts. My Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 on the Verizon network running Android 4.4.2. I have tried rebooting, powering down andback on, and even a factory reset all resulting in no change of behavior. Is this similar to what you were experiencing? Anyone else experiencing this?
Text message vibration not working
I also noticed I'm not getting a vibration for text messages. Not sure why, I've had the watch for a week now and this just started a day or so ago. I've also restarted and reset to factory settings with no luck. If anyone knows of the issue, please post. Thanks!

Not sure if it's a permanent fix or not, but I actually shut my phone down completely (Samsung GS4) and turned it back on. I did a couple test text messages and the watch is picking up the messages and vibrating again. Again, this could just be a band-aid but it did seem to work.
