When I'm on the phone in a call and receive a text message, my phone does not beep/notify me at all. I just want it to vibrate is there any setting to set it to? I'm using the stock messaging app?

Not sure if it's possible without 3rd party apps, but if you don't mind you can try Light Flow. Not only it allows you to set that (for the stock messaging app), but you can also configure the phone to blink LED with some (chosen by you) color for text messages.
I also used Light Flow and it works great, i even set it up so different alerts vibrate differently, its pretty cool.
I see a vibrate always option at the bottom of the settings in the stock app?

Anyone find a solution for customizing vibration settings when receiving SMS/MMS?
NO, handcent and go sms do NOT work. Actually, when setting a custom settings in those apps, vibrations stop completely.
I've tried tasker, but it's 1:10 that the vibration settings i enabled works. Only thing i've found tasker good for is, screen on when charging.
you want to get a vibration feedback, after the SMS has been sent?
or do you simply want to get vibration when a SMS arrives? (because that can be turn on/off by default on those Apps you mentioned)
is that what you are trying to do?
I think he means setting for haptic feedback like in CM....long vibrate...short vibrate ...millisecond tuning for vibration length...etc

what do you mean they dont work? i am using handcent and the vibration patterns work for me..i can change them to whatever i want (even custom)
make sure you are entering the format properly in handcent...its 0,______,______,______ (enter your off/on values [milliseconds], make sure there are no spaces)
might want to check your device if its not working for you...there is no problem with the app
I'm refering to custom vibration settings with receiving sms/mms. Default is 2 long pulses, id like to change that.
In handcent and gosms, you are able to allowed to enter custom vibrations settings ex: 200,0,200,0, etc. When doing so in both apps, vibrations stop completely. Also, their pre-existing options for vibration settings do not work either.
I'm just picky about how my phone vibrates when receiving sms/mms. I hate the 2 long pulses and wish it were just: 0,200,0
You obviously didn't read my post.. It does work.. It's cool though

You can download "SMS popup" from the market and mirror your stock messaging notification settings on it, disable the extra stuff like the actual sms popup feature, and when you get to vibration it has custom millisecond interval switches to adjust to your liking. Don't forget to disable notifications in stock messaging under settings and be aware that your screen won't turn on when you get a text as is by default with stock messaging there might even be a setting in sms popup to turn the screen on im not sure.
Hope this helps!

I cant believe more people dont want this feature as part of custom roms, heck even samsung roms.
my phone is on silent most of the day due to uni, and the galaxy s2 has the weakest most pathetic excuse for vibrations for recieved sms/call and i often miss it.
i realise gosms and handcent have this feature, but i dont like those bloated programs and i have privacy concerns with them.
does anyone know how to adjust settings on the Galaxy S2 so that it will vibrate after a period of time for unread text msgs, emails, missed calls and voicemail?
I cannot seem to locate how to do this?
I have tried NoLed - eats my battery power. Went to try BLC - says it won't work on my phone due to a kernal issue (no idea what this is) so I need something to give me a heads-up I have missed msgs or calls, etc.
For sms you can use a third party app like handcent or go.

But does that just work for text msgs or for voicemails, emails and missed calls also?

If you like the stock messaging app like me and prefer to keep using it you can download "SMS Popup" for free from the android market and disable the settings you don't want but it has the reminder settings your looking for with audible and vibrate reminders periodically for unread calls, texts, etc. Not sure if it works for emails.

No led can do it.

Pop-up sms
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna
I realised that when there's a notification, eg SMS, the LED notification goes off after a few seconds. This is horrible, cause most of the time I will glance at the LED to check if there are notifications for me before turning it on, and now I can't do that. Is there any way to make the notifications stay on permanently until you have cleared it?
I'm pretty sure there's apps in the Play Store that will fix this for you
I use mysms and that one can change LED color and time. But then you use mysms instead of LGs sms app. Mysms is like a sms cloud app so you can read and send your sms from computer or tablet.
I recently switched from an S4 to a Note 4, and have been missing lots of incoming SMS messages. I realize now that the S4 would beep any time a new message arrived, but the Note 4 suppresses notifications when you're inside the conversation for which a new message arrives. I can kind of see the logic for this - why would one need the phone to beep if you're already on the screen that's showing you the incoming message? In practice, though, I find that I leave the conversation screen open all the time when I'm not looking at the phone.
Most frequently, I keep the phone on a dock at my desk, hooked up to my KVM switch, so I can use my keyboard/mouse to write messages during the day. After sending a message, I switch back to my main computer/monitor and work over there until the phone beeps at me again. I rely on the SMS notifications to grab my attention, but need to explicitly exit the conversation after sending each message now if I want the beep to occur. The same thing happens when I put the phone in my pocket, holster, on the counter, etc. after sending an SMS. I'm sure I'll develop a habit after a while, but it seems foolish to me that I can't just stay in a conversation and have it beep whenever there's activity. This is the only email/IM/SMS app that I have that behaves this way.
I've tried to force the Messages app to beep at me whenever an SMS arrives, but there doesn't appear to be an option for this. Hopefully, I've just overlooked it, so:
QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the Messages app to beep whenever an SMS arrives, even if I'm already inside the conversation for the new message?
I'm using the stock ROM, no root, the default Messages app that comes on the phone, and a built-in notification sound (i.e. not something custom from the external SD card). Vanilla configuration. Thanks for your help.

In phone app go to settings - call - call alerts . There is option to alert you on notifications. Make sure you have this check.

Just to clarify, when I say "conversation", I mean that I'm reading an SMS thread inside the Messages app - not having a verbal conversation in the Phone app. Assuming that this is understood...
In the "Call alerts" page, I see several settings. Mine are configured as follows (where "+" is checked, and "-" is unchecked):
CALL VIBRATIONS
+ Vibrate when answered
+ Call-end vibration
CALL STATUS TONES
+ Call connect tone
- Minute Minder
+ Call end tone
ALERTS ON CALL
+ Notify during calls
Under the configuration above, would you expect the Messages app to beep when an SMS arrives on the thread that I'm currently reading?

Now i'm not sure. i need to see if in scenario you talking about i have notification, if i do i will explain my settings.
EDIT:
OK. I have notification. In settings in default messenger i have in notification Notification sound ( choose as you wish)
Vibrate +
Repeat message alert ( I got every 10 Min)
Pop-up display +
Lock Screen +
Status Bar +
What im reading messages i got pop-up with sound on top of message app.
But when im reading message and i get message from same person i don't have sound notification. It must be setup by software this way.
Did you find a fix? Mine does the same thing.

I'm still getting the same behavior. Missed several messages yesterday, in fact. This is the first thing I check after every OS update from AT&T, but I guess most people continue to prefer to not be notified when their text messages arrive.
If my screen is on while I'm in a conversation, you're correct, no notification will occur. But if my screen times out (locks) I will get a notification tone. I guess it just assumes you are looking at the screen if it's on and a message comes in.
Not aware of any way to change this.

I think that that's probably the intent. Maybe my habits are different than others', but I'm frequently not looking at the phone when the Messages app is up. Actually, before getting the Note 4 and training myself to switch off of Messages after reading each new text, I predominantly wasn't looking at the screen while Messages was up.
There's probably no one-size-fits-all setting here. It's just too bad that there's not an option to enable/disable audible notifications to fit individual preferences.
Did anyone ever find a way around this? You figure someone would have made an xposed module or something.
What a response.
Your response sounds like We should all be alike and conform.
Text notifications
Try '8sms' ... only text messaging app that I've found that will consistently notify me of incoming texts. Some apps will for a time but then stop doing so. This one has worked well for me.
Any config setting or app to make LED stay on when a message or voice mail is received in Hangouts??? really need a fix or I need to maybe switch to hangouts as text message default app but don't want to mix personal and business just because of a lame LED notification..
I use Google Voice a lot so I have Hangout and Hangouts dialer and Google Voice app. I use it for potential business... So since I started using the LG G4
I have not seen much action in hangouts. I checked and had 2 text messages unread. In my previous phone Note 2, if I did not hear the message sound the LED light would stay on. That way I was able to know I got a message even when I missed the sound or vibration.
Now on the LG 4G the LED light up very lightly and flashed about every 15 seconds.... I'm not going to stare at my phone for 15 second to see if I have a message or not. LOL..

I've been using "Light Manager" without any issues. You can pick the color and flash rate for individual apps. Just make sure you leave the LED options in the phone setting menu to on.
I use Lightflow. There were issues with rapid blinking instead of solid colors but setting a long interval manually has taken care of that so far.
Weird.. My hangouts cause my LEDs to flash..
I'm not using any special apps either..

I'm using Light Flow and I don't have any issue. You can even set up per contact LED there are many features you can use in light flow and you can customize any way you want.
