Hi all, I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy S4 so bare with me. When I have the phone in the vibrate mode and I have an incoming call, it only vibrates once, like on the first ring only. I can't seem a setting anywhere to make it continuously until the call is either picked up, hangs up or goes to voicemail. I am using Missed Message Flasher so I"m not sure if that has screwed up something or is there a setting I'm missing here. I usually just leave my phone in vibrate mode all the time.
Any help appreciated.

Has anybody had this issue before?
I have an 8525 and all of a sudden it won't vibrate anymore. It was vibrating yesterday, this morning...nothing.
I have tried switching to a ringer and switching back, holding the side button to switch between vibrate and ring, and nothing. No matter what I do, it will not vibrate. When I put it in vibrate mode I just get silence when a phone call comes in.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

There are at least two threads on this. (code for saying try the google search sticky post ). I assume you have not changed any settings since yesterday? If not look at this thread. You might try phoning yourself with vibrate on and tapping/bumping the base end of the phone while it's ringing. If it starts vibrating then the contacts are loose on the motor - and even if it doesn't they may be loose:

If you need to post again or just to say if you have any success, use the thread above.

How can i enable the vibration even when i am in a call.
what i mean is that vibration by default gets disabled for the time being the phone is in call mode. so it wont vibrate even if some alarm or sms arrives.
I want it because i have developed an application that will make phone vibrate when call gets connected and will turn the sceen off. hence saving the battery and annoying screen clicks with my ears as i will get notified by vibration when the call gets connected.
Thanks for Reading.
I am having HTC touch ELF.
My phone vibrates every time I take my face off of it during a call. the sensor assumes my face is off of it so it turns on the screen and the phone vibrates. How do I get rid of this?

NOTE: The vibrations during calls are not due to messages or emails. It is just vibrating to practically let me know that my face is off of the phone.
try messaging>settings>notifications> vibrate when on call and uncheck it.
Didn't work
Can anyone help? I've tried a lot of techniques and the only way to stop it is to cut off vibrating from the sound option altogether.

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with my S5 which is starting to become problematic. When I set my phone to vibration mode and I am called, the phone only vibrates once (shortly) and then goes silent. It does not keep vibrating. This is an issue as my phone is always on vibrate whenever I am at work and I'm missing a lot of calls due to this.
I've tried setting a custom vibrate pattern to no success. When sound is on I can choose to 'vibrate when ringing', but this option is greyed out when I set the phone to vibrate only.
Is this the intended way of functoning? Can I change it somehow? Thanks in advance!
For some reason I cant stop my notifications from vibrating when my phone is in vibrate mode. Its been a while but Im pretty sure in the past on my S7 I was able to have my notifications muted if my phone was in vibrate mode (except for texts and calls). I only want my phone to vibrate when I receive a call or a text if I am in vibrate mode. Otherwise I want all other notification sounds and vibration silent/muted/no vibrate when I have the phone in vibrate mode. This may have changed with a recent OTA update, currently on PE1. Am I missing something?
1) In settings/Sound and Vibration, Vibrate while ringing is checked and actually grayed out, I cannot unselect it. Which is fine because I want it to vibrate when ringing unless I mute the phone.
2) In Email notifications, notifications are on, but Vibrate is turned off and actually grayed out, I cannot turn it on. I have 3 email accounts setup through the built in Email app and all 3 are set to the same thing. Yet, it still vibrates when I get a notification.
I thought I had this figured out but apparently not. I ONLY want phone and texts to vibrate my phone when in vibrate mode. I want all other notifications muted. I have email vibration turned OFF but it still vibrates, along with most other notifications. Since I have 3 email accounts set up on my phone, this is quite annoying. What am I missing? Does vibrate mode make everything vibrate even if I have vibrate turned off on nearly all apps?
Try using do not disturb instead. You can customize it to allow phone and text messaging to go thru, and mutes everything else
Vibrate mode means vibrate. Why would you expect it not to vibrate when you use a setting called "Vibrate"?
