I just added text messaging to the phone, and I can't figure out how to get it to only vibrate when there is a new text message

Weather I have the phone on vibrate mode or not, the new text message either beeps once or 3 times
Only settings I can see

Scared the **** out of me in the middle of the night and woke me up, I want to set it to vibrate mode
Is this possible and I am just missing something ?

 

I had a Motorola Timeport, which is similar, and when I went under "Tone Control" and selected "Silent Mode On" it replaced all of the ringers and tones with vibrating. A short vibration replaced the single beep and a series of three vibrations replaced the three-beep.

Here's the other thing: If the phone is on a charger, it automatically cancels vibrate mode! I found that out the hard way in the middle of the night. The thing is, if it is NOT on a charger and you have reminder beeps on in vibrate mode, you can expect a dead battery in the morning if you get a voicemail or text message in the middle of the night.

Hope this helped. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the info, PAul.

 

thank you! It worked, it was because I had it plugged into the charger like you said !

 

Great, glad I could help!
