Redundant, annoying and wasteful vibrating while texting

My phone is set to vibrate on silent (which it is, usually), so it vibrates to alert me to texts when I'm not in the messaging app. Which is great, that's exactly what it should do and what I want it to do. What I don't understand then, is why it continue to vibrate to every text I receive from a person, as I have their conversation open in the messaging app. It's as if Apple wants to "alert me" to a message in a conversation that I am actively participating in and can already see, in real time. It's completely unnecessary, redundant, very, very annoying, and wasteful of battery life. How do I turn this annoying feature off while preserving the ability to vibrate outside of the application (when it actually is a relevant alert)? I don't want to turn off "vibrate on silent," nor do I want to go off silent mode.
Currently running iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5.

I have the exact problem because I get a lot of texts. I just turn vibrate off and set notification for text as alert so it pops up on whatever I am doing
Give Apple some feedback about that https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Disable sound and/or vibration while in Messages app?!

Hi!
I would like to know is there some option in the iOS where I could disable sounds and vibration while I'm using Messages app (app is open and the display is turned ON and I can see the message I recieved). This is very annoying when I'm using iMessages and getting a message every few seconds and then my phone vibrates constantly. It is of course OK if I'm not in Messages app but when I'm already using it I don't need a notification I got a message when I can see it for myself.

I'm having the exact same problem. I get a random text message ding for no discernible reason at least oncer per day. No alerts from apps, no email, no texts, no missed calls, no voicemails. It's not changing connection types between wifi, 3G, and edge. I know that the first gen iPhones sometimes dinged in that situation. If anyone knows what's causing this I would love to hear it.
Just to be clear I'm using a perfectly normal, not jailbroken, iPhone 4 running the latest software version.

John G.

Vibrating while Texting

As I've been reading, there seem to be a lot of issues with the new update. I made the mistake of updating my Droid X this morning and have regretted it ever since.
My main issue with my phone now is how it vibrates while I'm texting. This may seem stupid, but is there any way to make it stop doing that? It's extremely annoying.
Thanks for your help!

Hey Geri look up at wildmans post an uncheck the Vibrate an Keypress an it'll go away for ya . weather you sending a email or a text . i did this an it went away for me now i did check the sound on keypress on mine i'll see how i like it on Birtha but if it gets too anoying i'll uncheck it too.

Vibrate while texting

I set up the feature to have my phone to vibrate everytime I would hit a key when texting. I don't remember excatly when it stopped doing this. I have a feeling it was when I put my BB in my friend's BB holster. Now, my BB won't do vibrate when texting. I cannot find that feature anywhere on my phone anymore. I really need it because my keys are really small. The vibration helps with key response for better typing.

Hello christopherpylant,
Welcome to the forums.
There is no setting on the BlackBerry smartphone that will provide this feature. Were you by any chance using a 3rd party application to accomplish the vibrating while typing?

Actually, I did notice the thread age. However, this phenomenon only appeared with mu phone in the last week.
You and I both would hope that it was corrected long ago, but that is evidently not the case.
I added information that will be useful for anyone else encountering my recent situation, now or perhaps in some distant future.
If you are aggravated by notices re: threads over two years old, perhaps you should disengage from the thread in lieu of making

For the past month, I've had an echo of my voice while I'm talking on my phone. It's very annoying and sounds like multiple people are speaking at the same time and it's only me. Anyone know what's wrong?

You have to enable the Emoji keyboard on your device.
The steps to do so are here:

I note that these will show up when sent to other iOS users. I'm not sure how they look on other devices like Androids or Blackberries.

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying.

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying. Is it fixable??????

I have the same problem. Often, the songs worked perfectly fine before, even the previous day! Changing the format does not help either, nor does restoring iPod settings. In another case, a song WILL work after settings are restored, but after a few plays will return to its old state of making the ipod reset.

I turned off cellular data, and data roaming while traveling abroad. I turned them back on upon arriving back home, but now only the wi-fi features works when trying to connect to the internet. Texting works, no internet function works unless wi-fi???

I turned off my cellula data and data roaming while abroad. I turned them back on when returning home. But now I can only access internet and mail functions when on wi-fi. texting works. The 3G access to the internet isn't working now. 3g is on. What do I need to do to restore non-wi-fi internet function. Roaming is on s well. ?????

Try to reset your iPhone:
Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Settings
You will need to rejoin all wi-fi and/or bluetooth connections
You will need to set up your settings of your choice.
Information (such as contacts and Calendars) and meida (such as music, videos, apps) are NOT affected.

My iPhone4 has shut itself off while i was in the middle of a call and is vibrating and wont turn off, how can i get it to stop, PLEASE HELP?!

It's really annoying and this is the second time its happened.

I would get it looked at, that sounds more like a hardware problem.

Hi Mindaugas,
While uploading using RSTXLDMC. You have to maintain your size of the logo.
Go through below mentioned document.
Upload TIFF files to SAPscript texts
Description
The report RSTXLDMC allows a TIFF graphics file to be uploaded from the file system of the R/3 GUI to a standard text in the R/3 word processor SAPscript. (TIFF is a registered trademark of the Aldus Corporation.)
When uploading, the TIFF graphic is converted either into a black and white raster image (parameter type=BMON ) or as a color raster image with a maximum of 256 colors (parameter type=BCOL).
The black and white raster images ( BMON) can be printed using the following printer types:
PCL-5 printer
PostScript printer
Kyocera PRESCRIBE printer
Device type SAPWIN (with SAPlpd 32-bit as of Version 2.41 for Windows NT or Windows 95)
The color raster images (BCOL) can be printed using the following printer types:
PCL-5 printer with color capability (e.g. HP Color LaserJet). Color graphics are not printed properly on monochrome PCL-5 printers (e.g. HP LaserJet 5), because the printer cannot set the color palette as required and does not perform any gray-level conversion.
PostScript printer (color graphics are automatically converted to gray levels on black and white printers using PostScript) Device type SAPWIN (with SAPlpd 32-bit as of Version 2.41 for Windows NT or Windows 95) During TIFF graphic import, the basic set " Baseline TIFF 6.0 " of the TIFF specification 6.0 is supported.
To maintain compatibility with earlier versions of the report RSTXLDMC, it is also possible to convert the TIFF graphic directly into a black and white raster image for a particular printer type when uploading. These are the three printer types PCL-5 (parameter type=PCL ), PostScript (parameter type=POST) and Kyocera PRESCRIBE (parameter type=PRES ). A raster image uploaded in this manner can only be printed using the appropriate printer type.
Besides TIFF raster graphics, direct printer commands in the respective printer language (PCL-5, PostScript or Prescribe) can also be contained in the file which is to be uploaded (printer macros). They are then transferred to the standard text unmodified.
The graphics are output by inserting the standard text into the document which is to be printed, directly or using an INCLUDE command. The printer commands, which for example draw a company logo on the page, are only output if the print request is processed by the printer driver corresponding to the macro type, otherwise they are ignored. Example: A macro of type PCL is contained in a print request. If the request is output to a printer with type HPLJIIID (to which the driver HPL2 is assigned), the macro data is sent to the printer. If the request is printed on a printer of type POSTSCPT (to which the driver POST is assigned), the output of the macro data is suppressed.
In the standard text, the printer commands are inserted between the HEX ... ENDHEX command lines in hex notation. Various report parameters allow the graphic or printer macro to be placed on the page or at the current text position. Note: When the /:HEX command line which precedes the macro appears in the text, a line break is generally made before the graphic is output. The output of the macro therefore begins in the next text line at the left window border of the current page window, as long as a shift to the right is not specified (see below).
If your own printer macros are uploaded and not TIFF files, you must ensure yourself that the normal (text) output of the driver is not impaired when the printer commands are inserted in the output from the uploaded file. The printer drivers pass the data contained in the file to the printer unmodified, therefore without control over the individual actions this triggers on the printer. For example, syntax errors should not be generated by the PostScript commands (type POST), or form feeds should not be contained in the file (unless this was intended) for PCL-5 (type PCL).
Restrictions:
In general, the output of graphics generated via RSTXLDMC from R/3 is not suitable for mass printing (that is, unless you are using the "Graphic resident on printer" feature): the R/3 spooler has to hold significantly more data in its output files. If the graphics occur several times in a spool request, the data also reoccurs. Apart from this, the network is more heavily loaded in sending the increased volume of data to the printer and the printer output is slowed significantly (varies according to printer model) if raster graphics are output as well as the text.
If your graphics reside on your printer during a printing job, the degree of 'correctness' with which they are printed depends on the amount of memory available in your printer. R/3 print drivers are unable to determine whether the amount of memory available is enough! If one of the graphics that you have marked as resident is not displayed, try reloading the graphic and switching off the parameter "Graphic resident on printer".
When printing black and white graphics on PCL-5 printers, image data is compressed in order to greatly reduce the file size.
The output of graphics and macros on PCL-5 printers, PostScript printers and device type SAPWIN (type BMON, BCOL, PCL, POST) is adapted to the page orientation used, that is if landscape is used instead of portrait, the graphic is also turned when output. This is not the case for the PRESCRIBE printers (type BMON, PRES)! With these printers, the graphic is not automatically turned when landscape is used, but appears on the page in the identical position as for portrait. You are therefore recommended not to output raster images when printing in landscape on PRESCRIBE printers.
PRESCRIBE printers do not support the resolutions 200 and 600 dots per inch when printing raster images.
Not all PCL-5 compatible printers support the resolutions 200 and 600 dots per inch when printing raster images.
TIFF graphics with compression type 2 ("CCITT Group 3 1-Dimensional Modified Huffman run length encoding ") can currently not be imported although this is a component of the Baseline TIFF 6.0 specification for monochrome images.
Color TIFF graphics with full color representation (ie. a lot more than 256 colors) are automatically converted into 256 gray levels when uploading with type BCOL.
When TIFF graphics are converted to black and white raster images (type BMON, PCL, POST, PRES) there is no default simulation of gray levels or colors of the original image on the printer (for example, by using different tones of gray). Each pixel of the original image is converted to a white or black pixel on the printer according to its intensity value.
The parameter "Number of TIFF gray levels" does, however, allow a simulation of gray/colour tones of the original image through levels of gray on the printer, when using type PCL, POST or PRES. This parameter is ignored for type BMON.
The conversion of TIFF graphics can be so time-consuming that it is recommendable to execute the report RSTXLDMC in batch processing. Note: in batch, the file is always read from the file system of the application server (ie. not from the file system of the GUI).
The length of an individual text in the text file is limited. When importing TIFF graphics with very large dimensions, especially if more than 2 gray levels are used, a termination can therefore occur when saving the standard text ("EXPORT_TOO_MUCH_DATA"). This restriction can only be avoided by reducing the TIFF graphics. Note: The display of a raster image in Postscript or PRESCRIBE format needs from two to three times as much space as displaying in PCL-5.
When processing very large TIFF images on PostScript printers, a print termination can occur with PS error message "limitcheck". In this case the internal memory of the printer is insufficient to scale the required raster image. This implementation limit cannot be influenced by changing the report parameters when importing.
Requirement
The file which is to be uploaded can contain the following formats/ commands:
Baseline TIFF 6.0 raster image files. The image information of the TIFF file is converted into black and white/color raster images when uploading. Note: As the TIFF format allows a variety of variants, only a basic set of TIFF 6.0 formats is supported here described in the TIFF 6.0 specification as Baseline TIFF 6.0.
PCL : PCL-5, Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language 5 for HP LaserJet 3, 4, 5 series and compatible printers. The data is output by the printer driver HPL2 only.
PRES: Kyocera PRESCRIBE for Kyocera laser printers. The data is output by the printer driver PRES only.
POST: Adobe PostScript or EPS format (encapsulated PostScript ) for PostScript printers. The data is output by the printer driver POST only. In the upload, one of the end-of-file markers (CTRL-D, hex $04) which may be contained in the PostScript file is not transferred.
For PostScript files which contain a bounding box entry (for example, all EPS files) the macro/graphic can be scaled to a size specified by the user. In this case, a small lead text and trailer are generated by the report for the macro data and inserted in the standard text.
Parameters of RSTXLDMC
File name
Path and file name of the file to be uploaded in the file system of the R/3 frontend (dialog processing) or in the file system of the application server (batch processing)
Type
Way which the data contained in the file is to be converted. Possible values are BMON, BCOL, PCL, POST and PRES. With parameter values BMON and BCOL, a TIFF 6.0 file is expected. This is converted into either a black and white raster image (BMON) or a color raster image (BCOL). These raster images are printer-independent and can be printed using various printer types (see above).
With parameter values PCL, POST and PRES, either a TIFF 6.0 file or a file with printer commands in the appropriate printer langauge is expected. If the file is a TIFF file, it is converted into a black and white raster image for the printer type specified in the parameter. The presence of a TIFF file is recognized automatically. If the file is not a TIFF file, the file contents are regarded as the printer macro of the respective type. Data loaded with type PCL, POST or PRES can only be printed on the respective printer type.
Resolution for TIFF raster images
Resolution which should be used when importing a TIFF raster image, in dots per inch (dpi). If an allowed value is entered here, this overrides the resolution information in the TIFF file. The allowed values are:
75 dpi
100 dpi
150 dpi
200 dpi (not for type PRES, for PCL only HP LaserJet 4,5 series)
300 dpi
600 dpi (not for type PRES, for PCL only HP LaserJet 4,5 series)
Changing the resolution affects the size of the graphic on the printer. If a resolution of 300 dpi is stated in the TIFF file and this parameter is set to 75 dpi, the graphic is four times as big when printed as at the outset.
Note: Kyocera PRESCRIBE printers do not support 200 and 600 dpi resolutions.
Note: Not all PCL-5 printers support resolutions 200 and 600 dpi, for example HP LaserJet 3 series does not, but LaserJet 4 and 5 series do.
Graphic Resident on Printer
Normally, graphics that occur more than once in a printing job (a company logo that appears on each page, for example) are sent to the printer repeatedly each time they are needed. In order to avoid this kind of redundancy, you can select this checkbox on the selection screen. The R/3 print driver then stores the graphic in the printer's memory and the printer retrieves the 'resident' graphic memory every time that re-occurs in your job.
Caution: Whether or not the printer correctly reproduces the graphic depends on the amount of memory available in the printer during the printing job! You should avoid using this feature with color graphics since they take up a lot more memory than monochrome graphics.
This parameter can only be used with types "BMON" and "BCOL".
Absolute positioning
Determines whether the macro/graphic is positioned absolutely or is to be output at the current text position. If this checkbox is selected, the graphic is positioned absolutely (parameters "X-position" and "Y-position" are used), if this checkbox is not selected, the graphic is positioned at the current text position (parameters "Reserved height" and "Shift to right" are used)
Absolute X-position
Horizontal position (space from left border) of the macro/graphic, if absolute positioning is required. This is the parameter XPOS of the HEX command.
Absolute Y-position
Vertical position (space from upper border) of the macro/graphic, if absolute positioning is required. This is the parameter YPOS of the HEX command.
Reserve height automatically
If this checkbox is selected, the system automatically inserts the actual height of the graphic during printing into the subsequent "Reserved height" parameter.
Reserved height
If positioned at the current text position, this parameter specifies the horizontal spacing to be reserved for the macro/graphic, which must not be printed with text from the paragraph. This is the parameter HEIGHT of the HEX command.
Shift to right
If positioned at the current text position, this parameter specifies the space between the left border of the macro/graphic and the left border of the page window. If this value is increased, the macro/graphic is shifted to the right. This is the parameter LEFT of the HEX command.
Unit of measurement for positioning
The unit of measurement in which the position values (X,Y, height, shift) are specified. Possible values are CM (centimeters), MM (millimeters), IN (inches), PT (typographic point = 1/72 inch), TW (1/20 point = 1/1440 inch)
Text title
Comment used for the attribute "Title" of the standard text generated as well as as a comment line in the text itself
Line width
Number of columns to be used in the standard text when generating the HEX...ENDHEX command lines. The default value is 132
Text name
Name of the standard text to be generated. If an * character occurs in the name, it is replaced by the value of the parameter "Printer type". For example, if the entry is ZHEX-IMAGE1-* and the printer type = PCL, the text name ZHEX-IMAGE1-PCL is generated. The default value for the name is ZHEX-MACRO-<printer type>, but the standard text can be named as required (take into account customer reserve). Standard texts are client-dependent!
Note: The name of a standard text can be up to 32 characters long !
Text ID
ID of the standard text to be generated. The default value is ST (general standard texts)
Text language
Language key of the standard text to be generated. The default value is the logon language
PostScript scaling
Flag which determines how the macros/graphics of type POST are handled. If set to 'X', the report expects a PostScript comment line in the file
%%BoundingBox llx lly urx ury (e.g. %%BoundingBox -1.5 0 21.4 14.1)
as present, for example, in all EPS files, in which the dimensions and the position of the macro/graphic are specified (if a bounding box comment is not included, 0 0 1 1 is assumed as the default value). This information is then used by the report to insert PostScript commands which scale the macro/graphic to the size specified in the parameters "Width" and "Height" (listed below).
If the flag is set to ' ' (blank), the PostScript file is transferred to the standard text without any additions (any transformations to the coordinate system used by the printer driver must already be contained in the file).
The flag must be set to 'X' for the import of TIFF files for type POST.
Width according to PS scaling
Required width of the macro/graphic if the flag PostScript scaling is set. Can remain at zero for the import of TIFF files, the size is then determined by the resolution of the graphic.
Height according to PS scaling
Required height of the macro/graphic if the flag PostScript scaling is set. Can remain at zero for the import of TIFF files, the size is then determined by the resolution of the graphic.
If you want to scale the PostScript graphic with these parameters, one of the two values, width or height, can be specified with zero. The graphic is then scaled so that the width-to-height ratio remains unchanged and the original graphic is not distorted.
Unit of measurement for PS scaling
Unit of measurement in which the parameters "Width" and "Height" are specified. Possible values are CM (centimeters), MM (millimeters), IN (inches), PT (typographic point = 1/72 inch), TW (1/20 point = 1/1440 inch)
Number of TIFF gray levels
Number of gray tones which are to be used on the printer for displaying the original image. Note: This parameter is only evaluated when using types PCL, POST or PRES!
Possible values are 2,4,9. With the default value 2, each pixel of the original image is converted either to a white or a black pixel on the printer. With the value 4, each pixel of the original image is converted on the printer with 4 pixels, which simulate 4 different gray levels. With the value 9, each pixel of the original image is converted on the printer with 9 pixels which simulate 9 different gray levels.
Note: With values 4 or 9 the resolution of the image is doubled or tripled. The restrictions on the possible resolutions (see previous parameter) then apply for the resulting resolution.
Output
Individual steps of the upload procedure are logged in the report list generated and, if necessary, errors reported. The uploading of TIFF graphics, in particular, is cancelled if there is a variant which is not supported. A message to this effect is then issued. If execution is successful, the report generates a standard text with the key specified in the parameters. If the standard text already exists, a window appears with a warning before the text is overwritten.

Ameer Baba.

I cannot tap and drag to select text in Word

All of sudden, I cannot tap and drag to select text I want to move or edit in Word. Not sure what I did to make it stop working. Please advise....

"aimbdd" - Thanks very much for your feedback.... That feature you have verified simply disappears with the "new" Multi-touch Trackpad which was first introduced with the early-2008 MacBook Pro, and, which was also carried over from the iPhone...
The alternative is that you employ the "Mouse Button" or, in this case, the "Track Pad Button" to restore the feature...
"Will K." - So, the late-2008 MacBook Pro DOES have a button, which you need to "click".
When you say "Hold" you mean that you need to hold down that "button" ...
Now, if I understand it correctly, the top surface of the button IS the track pad. That's rather odd!!!
What happens if you release the button? Or, do you HAVE to hold the button down some how while you take the cursor to the end of your selection? If so, what would you hold it down with if the top surface of the button is the touch sensitive track pad????
In my opinion, the track pad BUTTON is redundant when you select the various tapping options for the track pad from the preferences, which was also possible on the Powerbook G4 ....
So, with the new MacBook Pro, which way are we going, forward or backward?

Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

Hi all,
I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)? I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face. Do you have a case that's blocking this? Try removing your case. If no case, try restoring you iPhone. If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.

Iphone 4 screen went black and kept vibrating

Hi All
Last evening i received a call and my iphone 4 went black and kept vibrating the only solution was to drain out the battery and then it regained its normal state ..

Hi,
I too have this same issue, on my iPhone 4s white 16GB, the screen went black during a text. It would not turn back on, I tried doing a reset (hold home and power/sleep button), but nothing. I then plugged the phone into the USB power, and then the phone starts to vibrate/buzz every 3 seconds.... I tried to resert the iPhone while plugged in...nothing... I then unpluged the iPhone and the buzzing stops...
I wonder what the buzz/vibration code is.... 1/2 sec vibration every 2.5 to 3 secs non-stop.....?
I did run the update that come out last week, other than that...no crazy apps have been installed, no jail break...just take photos, email, text and few games....
PS LTF

Redundant, annoying and wasteful vibrating while texting
