Silent mode is seriously silent and I have vibrate on silent selected. There's no way I can seem to get the phone to be able to vibrate. Any suggestions?

I had this problem. Sound Manager, found in Market, is your answer. There's a hidden sound setting where your vibrate has somehow turned itself totally off.
Obvious I know, but check your vibration intensity (Menu, Settings, Sound) and make sure it is not set to 0.
I have bonsai 4.0.1 and have always had the problem since bonsai 3. Email, calendar and text notifications stop vibrating. Will have to restore via nandroid to make it work again. Very annoying.

What do you have your haptic feedback set to? I think what happens, is if you set the haptic feedback to 0, then it will stop all vibrating functions as well. Might want to check that and see what's going on.
I read this solution elsewhere, but it may have been for a different problem.
I have haptic all the way up, vibrate on everything, nothing works except another restore.

Have you tried sound manager?
Market Link
It exposes sound and vibrate settings that can somehow change, but you can't access them otherwise. Solved this problem for me.
Yep, didn't do anything for me. I actually used to use that app for regular use too. I think I have a gremlin.
What kernel? Twilight or Vision?

Sorry, didn't know "vibration intensity" was the same thing as haptic feedback.

There is a vibration test you can do from the dialer to test if your vibrator is working:

I've been having an issue with my ringer since the upgrade. It seems to be weaker than it was before the update, and this is a big issue for me. I leave my ringer on vibrate because of school or work, and it's so weak that I cannot feel it in my case. This has rendered my phone almost useless.
My question is, is there any way to increase the intensity of the vibration ringer? I don't care if I need to root or anything like that, I just want to be able to do it. I know if there is anyone that can help me this is the place. Also I'm on the stock rom, not rooted. Thank You guys.
I feel the same way.
My friends mytouch3g might as well be ringing when it vibrates.
He likes to say "The epic is too pretty to vibrate like that. It has to be elegant!" lol

Did you turn the vibration intensity all the way up under sounds?
Yea but that only changes the haptic feedback. I need the vibration for the ringer and notifications. I know there is a way to change it, there has to be.

+1. I have missed so many calls and texts because of it. I wish there was a way we could up the intensity on the vibrator and i'm sure there's is a way...maybe theimplare747 or k0nane know?

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this. I took it to a sprint store, and the rep swore that his was the same on his phone. If they can do it with an update, there has to be some way to do it manually? Any help would be appreciated.
Same here, it seems like right after I upgraded to EC05, the vibration module switched to a different one.... It's like the phone has 2 different vibrating mechanisms.
EDIT: I'm on EC05 with SyndicateROM Frozen with the Twilight Zone Kernel, if that makes any difference
I thought from the title you were using the vibrator feature.....

Nope, just one of the many that are experiencing a now useless phone due the the lowered intensity of the vibrate function.

Add me to the mix. I'm sitting at my work desk right now and have the intensity on max... I just missed a text and its sitting right in front of me. I used to have it to about 75% and was fine. Darn update!!

So, shortly after typing my last post, my phone had a meltdown. Everything force closed, if I tried to swipe screens too fast it would vibrate and then reset itself for about an hour, nothing would load, the dialer froze up when I received calls, text didn't go through, etc. I took it to a Sprint store, and the tech eventually gave me a brand new phone. I took it home and installed the update, without a hitch. Everything works fine.
And guess what? The vibrate is just as strong as it was pre-update. I'm thinking this is an issue with only some of the updates?
Excuse me for my ignorance, but wouldn't the vibration intensity have more to do with wear over time than updates?
I assume that the vibration intensity, if identified as a software issue, could be updated and integrated with developer roms.
Granted, I have noticed the weak vibration on my epic, but this is something I noticed from the beginning and chalked up to dampening from the slider mechanism. If the phone has a case, it would also reduce the vibration in conjunction with a slider mechanism.
I have had a few slider phones (HTC Mogul, Palm Pre) and each has has significant loss of vibration due to a split body dampening the vibration. Of course these are only my observations with products and reflect in no way a professional or coherent opinion.

I've been using Light Flow for the last couple of days, but as of today my phone will no longer vibrate for notifications. The vibrator itself is perfectly fine - haptic feedback will still work and such and it vibrates on boot.
So, I figured the last Light Flow update that pushed out broke something. I backed up my settings, uninstalled it, rebooted, and expected my notification vibrations to continue working...
They didn't. I have it set to always vibrate both in sound settings and in all of my apps, but nothing seems to be working. I'm at a loss for ideas right now other then a factory reset. I am not rooted or unlocked yet, so I suppose it'd be a good chance to do it, but...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Aha! I found the fix - for some reason, notification vibrations were disabled SEPARATELY from every other vibration. Like, not even in the apps. The application "Sound Manager" in the market was able to fix this.

Looks like you just beat me to suggesting using the app "sound manager". I refer people to this app after somebody managed to figure that out in the past.
Note lightflow itself only sends notifications to android to vibrate, there's nothing fancy going on regarding switching off vibrations in the app.
Yeah, I figured lightflow probably wasn't directly to blame since uninstalling it didn't fix the problem. I was just really worried about having to deal with a factory reset tonight, but I'm happy now!
Thank You

Thank you for posting this issue and your fix! I was having the exact same issue as you and could not figure out what the culprit was. Downloaded Sound Manager and found out vibration were set to off
Have any of you had problems waking your GN after installing LightFlow? I installed it after seeing this thread, and I can't wake my phone and have to pull the battery.

I just had this problem for the first time... I have lightflow installed.
Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.
I think I've identified a way to reproduce a wakelock bug on this phone... Running LJ3 (BTU UK unbranded).
0) Install BetterBatteryStats (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) Set it up and get it working, so you can see any wakelocks...
1) Put phone into vibrate mode from the notification "pulldown"
2) Reboot the phone (long-press power, choose restart, hit OK)
3) Leave the phone after it's rebooted and you've done anything you do (ie. putting in PINs).
Look back in maybe 10 minutes, and check CPU States since boot, to see how much time was spent in deep sleep. If it's 0%, my theory might be correct... Then go to kernel wakelocks, and see if you have a massive AudioOut wakelock.
It seems to clear if you toggle vibrate mode off and then on again. A reboot not in vibrate mode certainly seems to clear it for me.
Anyone able to reproduce this? Lenny said he could on silent mode, but I've only tried vibrate... Let us know below if you manage to reproduce this bug or not, and what ROM you are using.

Yup, can you remember if it was a "100%" wakelock? it's normal to get a small bit of wakelock if you use these sounds. I have ALL sounds disabled on mine, and it's in vibrate.
my device didn't have it , my mom device has it both use same firmware ( LJ3)
BTW all sound setting is the default on both
maybe its bug with an app cuzzing the wakelock

Has to be something else too because I use mine in total silent not even vibrate mode and I still get this wakelock!

Yeah total silent causes it too... Try toggling sound on and off again and see if it gets fixed.

Upgraded from cm.-10.20130224-nightly to cm-10.1.2 and I've been unsuccessful in getting the the led notification to work. I upgraded with CWM and used darkside swipe before upgrading. Did I do something wrong or am I overlooking anything? I rarely hear or feel the vibrations and rely on the led notification more than anything. Any help resolving this is sincerely appreciated, thanks!
pretty sure they took it out you need a custom kernel for it now head over to CL3Kener thread and he has amazing kernels for this ROM

SO i installed the same kernal as you and i got the LED notification working but i see two issues which are bothering me,
My Vibrate option is gone. My phone will go from Mute straight to Loud (volume control) No Vibrate option anywhere.
Second issue vibrate feedback is also gone and i think this might have to do with the vibrate not working all together.
Are you seeing the same issue on your end?
i tried reinstalling CM 10.1.2 fresh with a clean wipe but still no luck.
Thanks in advance

That fixed it.. Thanks. took 4 reboots but its running perfectly.
I came from an iPhone and when I got texts and emails my screen would wake to see it on the lock screen.
I am getting these notifications but my screen does not wake. I've even tried apps like Glimpse Notifications and my screen still does not wake.
Any ideas on a setting I am missing? Shouldn't it behave this way without an app? Over on Reddit a couple of T-Mobile users says theirs does it by default. I'm lost.
anyone? 62 views and no one has an idea?
Try going to Settings/Sounds and notifications/Notifications on lockscreen a.nd see if it is enabled. Not sure if this will help or not. Good luck.

Use the textra app. Its better than the stock app and has the setting to wake screen on incoming texts
