Yes I have gone to Settings->Sounds & Notifications-> Notifications tab-> Messaging: New text message. After setting that to vibrate I have soft reset many times to no avail. Is there any kind of reg edit for this? I have searched for days on this topic and noone seems to have this problem. Is there any hope?

I just did a search and it appears there are many threads similar to this one. Try a search and see if any of the other threads have your answer.:cool:

i've not personally searched properly, but i'm guessing that Grizzley might recomend looking here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314615)
If you're problem isn't covered by a few google searches within XDA Devs, add a few more bits on info (rom, installed cabs, did it ever, when did it stop, etc etc etc)

If it did, and now doesn't, try soft resets - if no good try removing installed cabs (and change tone, why not! just use a default one for now)
If you still cant fix it, try a hard reset (see wiki for how) and remember to backup first. if you still dont get a vibrate.... maybe you have a hardware fault... does it vibrate on phone calls? have you installed a custom rom (ffs check the entire applicable thread if you have) if so, try a different one... or a stock one.

Searching is a good start - and saying you have is better still. But there really isn't enough info to help yet (yes, silly sh*t can mess it up, if my sd card gets removed & replaced my phone decides that my txts are now silent - with no ring or vibrate - even tho the audio file is on the device.... go figure!)

Ok I tried everything....even installed new apps to help with it....nothing. And yes it does vibrate on phone calls. So I decided to hard reset. NOTHING. Just calls. Gah, it worked for a little while when my phone was brand new, and I havent even flashed a new rom. ?????

Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Sounds Tab -> Make sure the programs check box is checked and then check the notifications check box as well

I had the same problem too, until I looked through everything.

Hope this helps.

Do you have any programs such as phonealarm or spb phone suite installed? It could be as simple as changing the settings in one of them to vibrate for sms.

My Tilt has the same problem with emails. It will vibrate when getting a call, but not when receiving emails. I checked all the Notifications settings and made sure that Vibrate is checked but to no avail. Not having it vibrate for emails is a major bummer for me.
