vibration not working for notifications - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I usually keep my phone on vibrate I work pt and school ft so I have no need for sound. I recently noticed that my messages notifications weren't vibrating and neither was my snap. I read a few forums and they say to check my PSM or UPSM neither are activated. my vibration is still working for incoming calls and when I change the toggle between sound and vibrate I can feel the intensity.
Also, I did check that the intensity on the phone was turned up.
I tried going to the setting to adjust it but for some reason the vibrations toggle is greyed out.
settings- sounds and vibrations - notifications sounds-messages notifications- vibratations(this is were its greyed out).
I don't want to reset my phone because I cant remember everything I have changed but if that is the only option I will.

[Q] Weak notification & ring vibrate

I recently noticed that I was always missing calls and not seeing notifications while my phone is on vibrate. I got someone to call me while my phone was on vibrate and noticed that the vibrate is REALLY REALLY weak. It was not this way when I first purchased the phone. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
What I've tried: Turning haptic feedback on and changing the vibrate intensity level to full in preferences > sound & display. It vibrates just fine for the haptic feedback but still has a very weak vibrate for ringing and notifications.
The only modifications I've made to the phone are: Root, circle battery icon mod and uninstalled AT&T bloatware.

[Q] Notifcations don't sound

Alright this one is strange. Sometimes my notifications won't make sound. I find the only way to get them to sound is to reboot my phone. My only question is why is it that this happens in the first place? I use the droid notification for texts from the phone's normal menu and for gtalk I use one from my sd card. I am really at a loss here...
I'm also having issues with notifications, but more with the vibrate. None of my notifications I mark as "vibrate" actually vibrate, despite having it marked to "always" vibrate in the sound menu.
As for your problem, cstrife, do you have any apps that change volume or is your volume in the "sound" menu different? I know that Lightflow seemed to mess with my sounds a bit. I also use "notification manager" to turn off sounds at night, and sometimes in the morning the scheduler doesn't restore volume settings properly.
Gawd I'm just waiting for a good custom ROM.

Nope no apps other than the volume settings I use.

I notice the exact same thing regarding the vibrate function... I can feel incoming calls, but not any notifications (i.e. texts, GoogleTalk IMs, etc.). Not a SUPER huge deal, but would rather it work--than not.

[Q] Notifications won't vibrate

I've had this problem for about a week now. For some reason, no matter what text message app I use, non of my notifications will vibrate. I've uninstalled every app I installed since it started happening, but no luck. I don't know what's causing it! A few days ago notifications returned back to normal, but then I got a text today that didn't vibrate.
Also, Settings > Sound > Vibrate is set to always, both in the general settings and in Go SMS, but it doesn't vibrate in either silent or ringing mode.

Thanks for your help!
I'm having the same problem. Happened out of nowhere and is starting to drive me crazy. I didn't change any settings and all vibration/notification settings for my phone and my texting app are set properly. It has to be something with the system because my volume control app showed that vibration was off for all notifications even tho it was turned on in settings. I uninstalled that app...still no luck
Anyone have a suggestion?
Were you able to turn it back on in the volume app? I know Sound Manager will let you toggle it. I have had this issue in the past as well; I turned it back on with Sound Manager and it worked properly afterward. In that program, hit menu and there's a vibration settings menu.

Notifications & Vibration

Hopefully I'm just missing something, but possibly this is just how the s6 is.
I'm coming from an HTC One m8. One thing I liked is when i put the volume down all the way and onto vibrate, the notifications would all vibrate - and if i brought the volume back up and vibrate turned off they no longer vibrated... seems sort of simple.
But the s6 doesn't appear to be handling them this way. As far as I can tell if I want a notification to vibrate I need to go into every app (twitter, messenger, gmail. exchange email, calendar, etc) and turn on notification vibration there individually, at which time they will vibrate regardless of the volume setting. If they are turned off, then they will not vibrate at all regardless of the "global" vibrate setting.
Is there an easy way to enable vibration on all notifications and then easily turn back off?

Vibration & Haptics

I currently have the Vibration & Haptics setting "Never Vibrate for Phone Calls" set. The phone does not vibrate when I have regular sound mode on. This is great. When I turn the phone onto Vibrate Mode I still do not get vibration for phone calls. I assume this is because I have "never" vibrate set, but I also would think the Vibrate Mode being set on the volume menu would override any vibration settings set normally. Am I wrong in this through process? Thank you!
