Default [Q] vibrate doesnt work for text messages

ok so my phone wont vibrate when i get a new text message. it may rarely work but more often than not it does nothing.

i have it set to 'vibrate only in silent mode' and then i switch it "vibrate" either thru the lock screen slider or using the volume keys but nothing works.
anyone else have this issue? fix?

is there a setting or way to make it have a separate vibrate and silent mode? like "ringer" "vibrate" "silent"

Can you check at "Text Messaging - (Menu Key Touch) - Message Settings -
Notification Settings - Virbrate Option"
I checked this option and it works perfectly.

Sound setting - Vibrate mode effects only about call mode.

Message Sound and Vibration mode works separately.

Did you try the "only when silent" setting within the text messages>settings>Vibrate? To me that means it should only vibrate but who knows if that's how it actually works.

(I feel embarrassed that I've had my D2 since September and never realized that's why my texts never vibrated. I just thought I had gotten used to the vibration I never felt it. lol)
Before posting try and do a search in the forum or use Google with "XDA developers:"(without quotes) in front of what you want to find.
(Keeps # of double posts down and helps you find what you are looking for faster!) Thanks!

I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, messages, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved

Sorry about my awefull english

Thanks button if you find this usefull
