it was till it was figured out because just uninstalling swype still didnt work also had to delete other stuff.but hey it works great now.
[Optimus V Android Development] tomr2004:
Ah, you are right. I'm not running stock either, I can understand why it would be harder on stock - good job.
[Optimus V Android Development] punkmaxx:
suuuuper cool! thanks dude!
[Optimus V Android Development] themsn:
thank you. this worked perfectly and allowed me to make the move to CM7.
[Optimus V Android Development] DutchArjo:
can't find an Original build.prop for galaxy ace rom here. I'm wondering how the lines in the build.prop should look like to have swype working.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Maybe you know this situation: Your phones lays on your desk, you're in the kitchen and you get called. You do not hear your ring and when you come back to your desk, you don't notice that you were called because your device has no notification LED (and you're not using NoLED)...

Therefore I made another small app, called "Vibration Notifier" (name is not final) which does the following:

When you have a missed call or an unread SMS, the app keeps vibrating every X minutes for Y times or until you turn on the display of your device.​

It supports missed calls, SMS, GMail and any other app which puts a notification in the status bar once a new event occurs (like WhatsApp, Google Voice, etc.)

I think the attached screenshot describe the intention of the app pretty good :)

App is now available throught the Android Market: Vibration Notifier

Like vibrating every X minutes won't drain the battery? That's no excuse, make it work!

Nice idea for an app though, keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks :)

i also might have found a way to get some gmail notifications. i'm not yet sure if i have broken something now because i had to change some stuff, but it seems to work so far :)
[Android Apps and Games] brunes:
This is a great idea for an app. I'll install it once it's in the market!

Also to people talking about battery use, vibrating uses hardly any battery at all. It is not going to be noticeable.

I have a tasker task that does something somewhat simmilar... when my battery level drops below 15%, my phone starts vibrating once every minute. It's a subtle "charge me!!!" hint.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
I think this is a great idea even for the people that have LEDs like me. However, I don't think the limitation to calls, sms and gmail is a good idea. You should find a way of making all the notifications vibrate every x minutes or adding a lot more to your app. For example Whatsapp (I installed your app today but noticed it was only for certain notifications so uninstalled it :( ) and let's say Twitter, Facebook... all this stuff.

Looking forward to a more complete version of this!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] brunes:
You can do this with Tasker if you want. Actually i just made it :)
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Will try it. So are you saying that Tasker does what this app does?? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nikzDHD:
Nice one the thing I miss most on my Samsung is the notification light from most my previous phones. Will give this a go.
[Android Apps and Games] Agentx002:
can I set it to (only) notify me for specific contact(s)?
[Android Apps and Games] javanutsy:
Great idea!

Would be great if more notifications are available... (KakaoTalk?) Also, would be nice if there is a quiet hours option.
[Android Apps and Games] Pumbi:
Dont work on Sgs 2 =(
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Yea . Dosent work on SGS2
[Android Apps and Games] judgepd:
Works here

It seems to work fine on my SGS2 and it's a great idea too
[Android Apps and Games] Pumbi:
I want it to work on my Sgs 2 to :(
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
sounds like a good idea to me, but i wont install it as long as there are no "silent hours" to set in the settings or an option to enable/disable this using tasker as i dont want to have my phone vibrating on my nightdesk when sleeping ;-)

so see this as a feature request...
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
just uploaded a new version to the first post, can the SGS2 user test this version? thanks :)

i've put a "silent hour" option on the todo list
[Android Apps and Games] Pumbi:
My Samsung Galaxy S2 vibrates fine now =) but if I set it to 2 minutes, it takes four minutes pause between the vibrations :rolleyes:

The is one of the best app ever ! THX !
[Android Apps and Games] WiredPirate:
Works great on my Atrix! Thanks! I have the LED but find the app useful in case my phone is in my pocket and I dont hear/feel it the first time. :)
[Android Apps and Games] recycleHTC:
Great app, but 1 minute set is just under 3 minutes realtime. I seen you uploaded a new version, I got the previous one. It's running on a motorola Defy with 2.2.

Your notification toggles app is a winner too!
[Android Apps and Games] djkidy123:
Great app,great work...
[Android Apps and Games] CarpeNoctem:
Very good idea indeed !

Would you allow cooks to includ it into ROMs ?
[Android Apps and Games] gattaca714:
Awesome, thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] charleypark:
NICE

Nice work. Loving the app.

General question: I noticed that in one of your screenshots, you have a gingerbread battery icon on the left side of the status bar. I was wondering what app that was. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] judgetom:
Great job - great app !!!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
that's just the "battery charged" notification

Doesnt do anything for me. On latest version as far as I can tell

Great idea though
[Android Apps and Games] rohit.sadhwani:
Great App.. Istalling now.. missed this feature from my early days of being a motorola user..:)
[Android Apps and Games] DVDWSN:
What about repeat calendar notifications?? That would be really useful for me!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
just uploaded a slightly new version which hopefully fixes the "not vibrating" bug on some devices. can someone who had this bug before test the new version please?

dont really understand what you mean :confused: can you give some more information?
[Android Apps and Games] Tatoeba:
love the concept except it my be a little too much power drain, i've no led on my phone it's sad, i try noled before but i think it use way too much battery, so i did drop it.
[Android Apps and Games] XDA_Bam:
Hi, just wanted to report that it works so far on Galaxy SL i9003 (Froyo, 2.2.1). The Countdown precision seems to be ok, but I only tested one time.

I don't really like the idea of a "silent time", because you have to change this in every app manually. It would be much cooler to turn off notifications based on some external event like a profile change. Ideally it would be off, if the phone is set to silent - simple and intuitive.

I personally would like it to interact with Llama - a very mighty event based profile app. Could you implement such behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
too late, i already implemente a "silent hours" function xD

but i can also add some intent to make the app interact with other apps. can you send custom broadcasts or something with the lama app?

just published version 0.9.5 beta with silent hours option and option to beep instead of just vibrating (maybe i need to change the name of the app^^). feedback is welcome :)

edit: just uploaded the app to the market, see here -> https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.vibrationNotifier
[Android Apps and Games] judgepd:
I don't think it's my imagination, but if a text comes in when your screen is on then the repeated vibrates are triggered until you turn the screen off and then back on again. Still using as I think it's a great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
right, will be fixed in the next version. thanks for reporting :)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
just uploaded a new beta release to the first post in this thread which should fix the "doesnt stop vibrating" bug and disables the vibration when in "silent mode". can someone who had this bug before test it?

Two small bugs

Hi j4velin,

I wanted to report two small Bugs / Problems with Vibration Notifier on my i9003:

When a call / sms is missed, and the phone is set to a silent profile (not "silent hours"), it does not remind me (which is, of course, correct). But after unlocking my phone, it will vibrate one time when locking it again.

The app does not check if the profile changed to loud again, when a call / sms comes in while in silent profile. It therefore will not vibrate / remind me after the profile changes to loud.

Thank you very much for this cool app. If you've got further questions concerning these bugs, just ask.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i'm not sure if this vibration is really caused by the app. when an event occurs and your phone is in complet silent mode, then the app stops itself and shouldnt do anything. so it shouldnt be active at all when the device gets locked.

and because the app stops when in silent mode, it wont check the ringer-mode again so it wont notice when the profile changes. also i thought most people are using their phone when changing the profile so they would see that there are new events. but i could also change that behaviour if some users request it
[Android Apps and Games] XDA_Bam:
Well, me too, I wasn't totally sure that VN caused the vibration, so I tried to reproduce the situation (silent profile, called myself, waited three minutes and woke the phone up, set profile to loud, and locked it again) and my phone didn't vibrate again. So, that stays mysterious for the moment.

Concerning the other point, I use Llama to change my profiles based on location and time. So there is theoretically no need for me to ever wake my phone, unless it tells me that I missed a call / SMS :D I can understand, that you try to save ressources and battery by stopping the app, but for my case, it would be cooler if VN continued to check the profile to "rearm" itself when the phone is set to loud again.

By the way: Does VN autostart?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
okay, than i'll change it to check the profile again. VN autostarts as soon as you receive a call/SMS/whatever. then it checks wheather is should remind you again in a few minutes or not (like when you're currently using your phone) and then it stops itself and restarts when it has to vibrate/beep. i guess this is the most ressource saving approach
[Android Apps and Games] Nexxusel:
Hi ... i have a problem whit Vibration Notifier. The calls missing dont vibrate , of course i have enable the option. I have Samsung galaxy s I9000T whit gingerbread. Sorry for my bad English.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
j4velin this is the second of your apps ive downloaded in as many days cheers mate ill report back this looks to be an essential app :)
[Android Apps and Games] bobcote:
First, thank you for this very useful app.

I have a question and feature request in case it's possible.

Sometimes, I'm away of my phone or in a loud environment and miss an email (I'm using K-9). I'm glad to be reminded by this app.

But sometimes, my phone sits beside me and when an email arrives, I just happen to open it and reply to it on my computer without touching to my phone.

So, as soon as my email is marked as read on my computer, the new email notification in status bar on my phone disappear as it should (I know it because I did a test while phone screen was on), but then, Vibration notifier does not seem to know the notification disappeared and that it does not need to notify me every 5 minutes until I wake up phone screen (which I don't think I should have to and which is distracting me while working).

So, my question is: if this app can know when a notification appear, could it also know (and act consequently) if a notification disappear?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
it's a good idea and i will look into that. it should already work with gmail, i guess...
[Android Apps and Games] zaiuss:
hi j4velin,

i gotta say great app. thanks for building this.

i'm having an issue with it and BLN. with BLN enabled, doesn't notify anymore. it only vibrates once (which might be the stock alert) any clue? i'm running the trinity kernel on a nexus s.

thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Deja_Vu:
Great app!!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
can you send me a bug report through the apps menu the next time it happens? thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] zaiuss:
ok. will do. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
Hello!

The app just stoped working on my phone to notify about SMS since i got my ROM update to WolfBreaks Gingerbread V6 (Xperia X10)

What info do you guys need to know whats my problem? :(

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
when you get your next SMS, open the app, press your menu button and select "bug-report". thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] zaiuss:
sorry for the delay j4velin, but i found out that it was a user error. :o i did notice another bug yesterday, where the phone would vibrate and chime without any new message.

i'll see if i can replicate it and send you a bug report.
[Android Apps and Games] mwandaw:
Feature Request

Currently you can set VN to beep every XX minutes "until screen goes on."

It would help me if the "until screen goes on." was an option. In other words, VN could be set to continue to beep even if the screen is turned on.

Thanks for the great app! I use it all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] snatch333:
Great job! Very useful app:)
[Android Apps and Games] rdsiam:
Great app, j4velin! It was one of the first things I download when I got my phone. It's worked perfectly until recently, I have two issues.

1) My silent hours are set 23:00 - 9:00, used to work exactly right. However, about a month ago, it started to vibrate during silent hours. I think this was around the time you released the enable/disable widget.

2) Less important, just kind of annoying - When the above issue started occurring, I had to us the enable/disable widget. I hit "disable" when I go to bed, which of courses changes the widget to read "enable." In the morning, the widget has changed back to reading "disable" once again, and in fact is disabled. I have to toggle the widget (press disable, then enable) to get the app working. Once it's working, it works perfectly.

By the way, your Delayed Lock is fantastic as well. I couldn't find another app that works like that, and it is perfect for my needs. :D

Motorola Photon 4G (Sprint Motorola MB855).

Two great apps! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
sorry, i dont see the point in that. when should it stop then?

i'll look into that

should be fixed in the next version
[Android Apps and Games] mwandaw:
In other words, VN could be set to continue to beep even if the screen is turned on.

For example, I'm busy sending a text (so the screen is on) when I get a Google Calendar notification. I'm distracted by the texting, so I don't notice the Calendar notification, but Vibration Notifier reminds me until I dismiss the notification.
[Android Apps and Games] rdsiam:
I got the latest update, which fixed the enable/disable toggle, but the silent hours still isn't working.

I sent myself a test email between 23:00 - 0:00 and it worked fine. It seems to have issues with emails that come in after midnight.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and had the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Hello. Does this work with the Galaxy S2? I have tried this app as well as a few other reminder apps but they all fail to work for SMS because with the SGS2, the screen turns when an SMS is received. I think this tricks these apps into believing that the user has turned on the screen to dismiss the alert. Is there a way to have your app ignore the initial screen turn on when the SMS is first received?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
sorry, but i havent found a way to be notified when the user dismisses a notification

my SGS does the same, but it should still work if the screen is off again when the first vibration should appear. so just make sure your display timeout is shorter then the time interval set in the app and it should work like expected
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
it wont work on my SGS2. My screentimeout is 30 secs while Vibration Notifier time interval is 2 mins. Is this because I use WidgetLocker with lockscreen disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
can you send me a log the next time you get a SMS and it didn't vibrate? widgetlocker shouldnt cause any problems
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Email sent....
[Android Apps and Games] rdsiam:
Last update fixed the silent hours issue. :) The app is working perfectly now.:) :) Thanks a bunch, J!
[Android Apps and Games] ChodTheWacko:
For some reason this program really hates my Galaxy Note.

It force closes like crazy, and sometimes locks up my entire phone. (i think it breaks widgetlocker when it force closes).

Also had a weird thing where on startup I had a notification I think, and my phone vibrated nonstop until I yanked the battery.

Not sure what I can do to help here.

- Frank
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
about the FC: that should be fixed in the latest version 1.0.82 which i uploaded to the market today (should appear in a couple of hours if not yet visible).

for the other bugs: please use the build-in bug report option the next time the problem occurs, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
Going to give the new version of this app another try on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S2. With the current version, I never get a notification. I am not sure if its because on the Galaxy, the screen turns on when an sms is received? I set the duration to be longer than the 30 secs my screen turns on but still no luck.

Are there any other Galaxy S2 users out there using this app????
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
it should work on the s2, at least 500 people have installed it on that device according to the android market. also the app waits 3 sec after receiving an sms to activate the screen on watcher, so that shouldnt be a problem (as long as the display's off when the first vibration should appear). also make sure your device is not in silent mode
[Android Apps and Games] pbrown77:
It appears to work for me on my SGS2 but I am only using for missed call (which I haven't checked yet), email and facebook.

But I too would welcome an option to only stop the repeat notifications once the notification icon has been dismissed. This option would make it complete for me as I have already found a case in the first few hours of installing it that the screen was turned on and I was not aware of the notification but the repeat notification was turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] tboooe:
battery drain?

Good app though it does appear to drain my battery a bit. Anyone else experience this? I am on an SGS2.
[Android Apps and Games] sweetsaint:
thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] pbrown77:
Not yet on my sgs2 but this is my first day of using it. So far my only drama is the repeat notification disappearing because I turned the screen on for something else... not really a fault but a feature that's not ideal for my usage...
[Android Apps and Games] The_MutenRoshi:
Hi guys, I'm using this app, but I´ve a problem,

when I recive a sms, the screen goes on, and then the app doesnt work anymore! im using Wigetlocker, how ca I disable that, for the screen wont go on when I get new sms??

cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
as the app starts 3 seconds after receiving the sms (the screen should be on by then) it shouldnt affect the functionallity of the app as long as the screen is off again when the app should vibrate/beep for the first time
[Android Apps and Games] The_MutenRoshi:
Well as you said, it shoud work. I just uninstalled and then installed and now works fine! Thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] JNavas2:
Thank you and suggestions

Thank you for a very nice app! I've sent you a donation.

I had been using NoLED, but it was too much of a battery drain and had too many issues.

Suggestions:

Memory: VN currently uses over 8 MB running, more than even big apps like Maps and Google Voice. Please reduce this as much as possible. Could VN be stopped when there are no notifications?

Silent hours name: Suggest you change this to "Silent time", since it's not just limited to "hours".

Silent hours logic: I have Silent hours of 0:00 to 6:00. If a notification starts at (say) 23:00 or 5:00, I'd like alerts from VN for these notifications to resume/start as soon as Silent hours are over. Currently VN only alerts for new notifications after Silent hours are over.

Silent hours enhancement: It would be great to have an option to silence entire phone, not just VN, so I don't have to run some other app to do that.

UPDATE: I've since decided to use Ring Scheduler to keep my phone quiet at night -- turning on Airplane Mode does more of what I need, and with nothing coming in, VN should stay silent, so I've turned off Silent hours in VN, which reduced its RAM usage to 5.4 MB. :)

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
actually, VN shoudnt be running when there nothing for it to do. it wakes when it receives one of the defined events, sets a timer and stops immediately after that. the timer then wakes the vibration service, which vibrates, and again sets a new timer. then it stops.

and as soon as you turn your display on, it deletes all timers and wont start again until the next event occurs.

so if you see VN in the active apps list: force stopp it as this should never happen :D

okay, done.

well, that might be a bit complicated and i dont think every user would understand why the phone starts vibrating at 6.00 in the morning... and as most users put the device in airplane mode during night, there shouldnt be any events while in the silent time anyway xD
