anyone know how to edit the type of vibrate associated with notifications? for instance for emails it uses the notification ringtone, but only has an option to vibrate and it uses the long vibrate. i want to change the vibrate to just a short one. i was able to do this on my hero. i just cant find the option anywhere.

It is a red exclamation in a triangle and I believe it says something about the SD card but it disappears so fast I cannot read it. Any ideas?? There is nothing in the notification area.

Right now I only see my contacts (sucked from my Instinct) on my Epic, and my Gmail web acct shows nothing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere appears to be a problem with some android phones where even if the sms notifications are off they still pop up in the bar.Has anyone figured out how to turn this off on The Epic 4G.Ive been to messaging app and then also to system setting and I have not been able to get this off. I wanna use handcent but i get the dual notification problem.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI fought for quite a while trying to add custom ringtones to the epic, don't know why they make it so difficult. Anyway, create a two folders on you phone called "notifications" and "ringtones" these can either be in the root dir of your sd card or nested in another folder. Apperantly it for these it searches for folder names instead of file type. I have my nested in another folder called media. I use this for all external media I add to phone.
Also remember that the phone will find pictures by file type. So any pictures you put anywhere on your sdcard will show up in gallery. This makes it real easy to create folders for sorting pics. If you don't want a certain folder to show up in the gallery just put a "." in the beginning of the name. Then when you want it to show up in the gallery go to the folder, delete the period at the beginning of the name and there it is in gallery. So folder name "confidential pics" will show in gallery but folder name ".confidential pics" wont show up in gallery. I use Astro for changing the folder names on the phone and it works pretty good.
Today my phone (Sprint Epic DI18) sounded a notificatiom and I was surprised to see a facebook icon on my status bar that told me that I had a new message from a friend.
AFIK, this option wasn't implemented yet. Is this starting to roll out now?
I dont know that anyone will be able to answer this as of now, but I'm sure someone will once tomorrow comes around.
I was wondering if the Epic lockscreen shows any indications of unread items (particular SMS text messages)? Also, if music is being played, does it show music controls on the lockscreen so that you dont have to unlock the screen and go to the music app before being able to control music?
Is there anyway to get the notifications to be louder than the ones installed with the phone? I can't hear them when I have the phone in my pocket, any help will be deeply appreciated.
I can barely hear the ring tone much less the notifications and I downloaded songs but that doesn't increase the volume for them.
I am wondering how I can get my gmail to refresh itself and notify me of emails? I have all of the gmail settings figured out (including email notifications), but I always have to manually go in and refresh to see if my inbox has been updated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a few questions about how Chomp works on the Epic: If I download Chomp, will I still get notifications at the top notification pull down on the home page? Or are the only notifications given on the actual chomp icon? (I don't want to have two notifications.) I was also wondering if I would still be able to use the "speak to text" feature that the stock app has? Lastly, there is a set of permanent icons on the home screen (phone, contacts, messaging, apps). When I click messaging, would it go to chomp?

So I never had a problem with my Eris's haptic feedback or vibrate when I get a text until I played with my friends Incredible. I really liked the haptic feedback and was wondering if there were a way to edit it either through an app or flashing a zip in recovery.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm not getting any vibrate on my incoming emails or notifications, I went into both email and messages settings and selected vibrate and still nothing. I cant believe this phone cant vibrate and ring or vibrate and sound at the same time with incoming calls,messages,or emails like my blackberry pearl and many other phones I've used. Ultimately I want both vibrate and sound on everything, am I missing something here?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I bought this phone it would give me a little double vibrate and make a noise when I got a text. I didn't mess with any settings and 3 weeks into the EVO it stops and I can't get it to vibrate when I get a text. I've turned every vibrate setting on and off and it still won't vibrate for a text. It still does for a phone call though.....its annoying cuz I don't like to have volume loud and I miss texts. Anyone have this issue? Am I going to need a new EVO?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAs much as i like being notified everytime i have a new email or tweet i'd rather not have my phone vibrate every time this happens, especially cos it does so at night... does anyone know how i turn this off?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe vibrate for my notifications keeps turning off by itself. I downloaded sound manager and using this app I can turn it back on, but a little while later it is already turned off again.
I'm thinking it must be an app turning it off, but I have gone through each one and can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this.
I did a hard reset after 2.2 and it went away for a few days but now its happening again.
I love my Incredible. One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to have my phone in vibrate and be able to know when I receive an SMS or email message. I was reading up on the Moto Droid and nexus one forums but the fixes they had (outside of just using an entirely different app for SMS) didn't seem to apply to the incredible. I set it to vibrate but it only seems to vibrate when it rings, not when it's set solely to vibrate.
So I ask, is it possible to receive a vibrate notification of an SMS or email when the phone is in vibrate mode? If I'm at a movie or something, I like knowing if I got a message.
After awhile of heavy SMS use if i open a message and go to type to respond the words i type do not show up on the screen. Id i minimize the keyboard it shows. If I expand it they go away.
View 1 Replies View Relateddoes anyone know of an app or widget that can give android iPhone-type notifications. Meaning, when you have a missed call or text message or email, or anything, a big thing appears in the center of the screen that is huge and impossible to miss. for some people, esp the older ones (i.e. my father) it is hard to remember and, more over, to see the notification area at the top of the screen. It would really help if there was an app that brought large notifications to the center of the screen, just like the iPhone and the iTouch do.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure when this started happening or if it ever even worked, but my vibrate notifications do not work for text messages or email (i'm using K-9). I've gone through EVERY possible setting, in the messaging app, in K-9, and the standard phone settings, to ensure that Vibrate Notification is indeed on, and yet it does not work. It doesn't matter if my phone is on Vibrate Mode, Silent Mode, or Normal Mode, no vibration notifications.
I've tried restarting the phone, nothing works.
My Haptic Feedback works perfectly.
My phone doesn't vibrate anymore whenever I receive a text. It is set up to vibrate, but still nothing. I thought it was a problem with Handcent app, but I removed that app, and was still not vibrating.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLove my Incredible but one glaring issue I'm having I'm hoping to resolve here. At work I am in tons of meetings and conference calls and having a ring tone blast out isn't accepted too well So when I get to work I turn my ringtone volume down to VIBRATE and when I get a call, since I have my phone bare in my pocket, it vibrates and I never miss a call.
But as soon as I change to VIBRATE MODE, all the stuff for NOTIFICATION SOUND under SETTINGS is grayed out. If I go under MESSAGES and SETTINGS, the check box is checked for PLAY NOTIFICATION SOUND and VIBRATE.
I just tested this several times and with the phone in saver mode (screen timed out and is blank), I get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when I get a text message. No vibrate, buzz, blip or anything. If I call my phone it vibrates for the incoming call fine. BUt for a text message... NOTHING!
Since I *HAVE* to use VIBRATE MODE at work, how can I get the phone to notify me when I get a text message? Kind of important to me as an out of state relative was trying to text me information about my mother's surgery and I was not getting any notification on my phone.
I wasn't sure where to post this so I figured I'd just throw it in the general forum and see how it went. Does anyone else get kind of irritated by the way you have to set the volume/vibrate setting for notifications? I want ONE control that will put the entire phone on either silent, vibrate or ring. For some reason I can't choose a master sound profile, I have choices for each individual messaging app.. I really just don't get it, I'm almost dumbfounded by how insanely involved it is to just get a vibrate notification or none at all. Granted I have had and INC since the week it launched and love this phone, I just don't get it. Am I missing something? I put my phone on VIBRATE and NOTHING VIBRATES unless in the program's settings I have vibrate checked, which means it will vibrate all the time, in vibrate mode, silent, doesn't matter. Is there any way to make it so whatever setting I have my phone volume set too or what i would consider to be the "master" volume is what my notifications will do? I realize this is a bit of a rant but I'm kind of flustered over this. I don't understand why the volume control doesn't just control everything collectively. A good example would be, if my phone is on vibrate and someone tries to TikL me... I don't want the sound to come through, which it did while I was in a meeting... not good. Are all android OS phones like this or just HTC? (I will try and explain myself better and maybe edit this post, i just needed to blow off some steam because I feel this is a rube golberg way of setting sound profiles..
