Iphone 5 notifications (vibrations) for messages different when phone is locked vs. in conversation. Why?

I have had my iphone for more than 6 months now.  The other day, I had to restore my phone from new to solve a different problem.  Prior to the restore, my phone was set to 1 single, short vibration for most messages, with a custom vibration of 2 short vibes for one specific contact.  Since restoring my phone, I set up my notifications in the same way. 
The problem I have encountered is: when the phone is locked and a message is received, the vibrations work as desired.  When the message arrives while a conversation is open, I get two short vibrations regardless of who the message is from. This is driving me crazy, because I am so used to two vibrations meaning a message from one particular person.  I don't recall what notification I got prior to the restore when conversations were open, my phone may not have vibrated at all when the conversation was open.  I don't really care if I get 1 vibration or none, but the two vibrations has got to stop.  Does anyone know where/how I can adjust this?
Thanks!

When you "delete" some kinds of items from the iPhone, they don't actually get deleted. Instead, they're marked for deletion by the operating system and hidden so that they appear deleted. But they're still on the phone. Only when you sync your iPhone with iTunes are they truly deleted.
As far as I know, there are only a couple ways to truly and permanently delete SMS messages from your iPhone:
Sync - Since syncing with iTunes is what actually erases items you've marked for deletion. If you delete an SMS on your iPhone and then sync your iPhone, the message really will be gone for good.
Remove Messages from Spotlight Search - Your deleted SMS messages can't appear in a Spotlight search if Spotlight isn't looking for them in the first place. You can control what apps Spotlight searches in and which it ignores. To check this:
From your home screen, tap Settings
Tap General
Scroll about halfway down the screen and tap Spotlight Search
Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Messages to uncheck it.

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • Hello. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    . I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

    The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
    You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
    In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
    And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
    Good Luck

  • Toast is not redirecting to specific page when phone is locked in windows phone 8 application

    I subscribed to toast notifications to my windows phone 8 chat application..
    It is redirecting to specific page when i minimize the app and close the app.
    But in following scenario it is not redirecting..
    I opened app and then i locked the phone.
    I got notification then i clicked on toast.
    It is not redirecting to that page i specified.
    When i look into rootframe_navigating event in app.xaml.cs, i found that the notification uri is not coming when we lock the phone when app is opened.
    I hope you understand the scenario.
    Is that bug or should i do anything for redirecting when phone is locked also?
    Waiting for the reply.
    Thanks!

  • When phone is locked can I see the caller ID before I choose to answer?

    It appears that when the phone is locked and you receive a call the only option is to slide to answer or ignore it using the power key. However, before deciding what to do, can I see the caller ID? when the phone is not locked the caller ID comes through but when its locked it does not.
    Thank you for your help

    If your phone is "locked", AKA sleeping, and you receive a call, you should be able to see the Caller ID before answering.
    There should never be a time where the Caller ID is not shown, unless it is a blocked ID.

  • Iphone 6 plus Notification in landscpe mode when phone is locked condition

    I have iphone 6 plus iphone. When I keep phone in landscpe mode in locked condition; I want to see notification in landscpae mode for application like email,phone, messege etc. which I have enabled in notofication centre.
    I observed all notification in lock mode comes in portrait orintation.Is this possible.

    For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues.  I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
    I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed.  love the phone too.  My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer. 
    The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!

  • I have a frustrating problem with my iPhone 5 post ios8 installation. The ring tone won't sound when phone is locked/switched off, although the vibration does work. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb"

    Hi, I have a frustrating problem that seems to have occurred post iOS 8 installation. When my iphone5 is switched off the ring tone fails to sound i only get the vibration. If i am using my phone and a have an incoming call then the ring tone works as normal. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb" ... i see from the menu in "do not disturb" that under the heading "silence" there are two options "always" and "only when the phone is locked" This does not seem to make sense as i have to choose one or the other!
    If anybody can help advise me on this problem i would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Why does my iphone say i have a message but when i click on the app i dont have one and if i get out of the app it still says the messages are there.?

    When i go on my phone it says i have 3 new messages but when i click on it i really dont. I turned off and turned my phone on 3 times and it still says i have 3 new messages how do i stop that. Without actually turning on the bager icon thing that pops up on the app.

    Hey there Samimanis_.
    It sounds like your notification for messages is showing that you have a few mesages but when you go into the app, there are no new messages. I would start by signing out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages. Then close the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone, sign back in, and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • How to restore Iphone 4 content but for a different carrier?

    Hello,
    I just recently unlocked my iphone 4 and backed it up before doing the factory reset. When I inserted the new sim card for a different carrier I wasn't able to restore my old content (music, photos, contacts, etc). Is there any way to restore all my old data without going back to my old carrier? Or a way for my phone to recognize my new service with my old content.
    Thanks

    If you select the Download Only, which is what I do all of the time, even with a broadband connection, once it is finished downloading, you go back to the Check for Update button in iTunes and it will detect the file there and then begin uncompressing the file and installing it. After the upgrade you will not need to restore the firmware, just restore your backup.

  • Apple script for Message box when Mail app Compose Window Opens

    Hi there
    I'm trying to make mail app remind me to choose the right emaill address to send from since I have several email addresses. Is there a way I can make or write an apple script for a message box to pop up whenever mail app's compose window opens up.
    I can do for the case when I actally click the compose button when I'm on mail app by using UI scripting. But when it comes to hyperlinks which opens up the compose window, it fails.
    I just want a script to see whether the compose window is open and if open pop up a message box.
    Thanks
    Best regards

  • Font sizes for message change when  mailbox or message list is changed

    When changing the preferences for message font to something a bit more readable (ie, 14 pt), that doesn't seem to actually affect the message font size except on the message I am actually looking at at that instant. It always reverts back to size of the message list font!
    How do I get the message list to be smaller (ie 10 pt) and the message font to be bigger (ie 14 pt)? Changing the prefs doen't seem to do it.

    Thank you very much for sharing that information.  It is great to hear verification that the mask assignment change did resolve your problem.   That is the latest resolution that TAC has recommended, but we have to restart the WCCP service on all redundant edge routers to be able to implement this, so planning the outage window is taking some time.   We've been told that TAC will set this up in a lab and test for us by our Cisco SE.  We're hoping to get verfication that this actually resolves the problem before we take the outage.   
         If you could, can you tell me if this resolved the issue 100% or do you still have any performance issues when making a change to your WCCP ACL going to your bluecoat equipment?    We may also need to implement this in our redirects to BlueCoat from our Nexus.  Do you happen to have a link to how to make this change in Bluecoat?   Thanks again!
