ios 5 - vibrate/ring twice

Well, me too stuck in the same problem. Messages ring twice, fb notifications almost thrice! While riding my bike it becomes irritating! Please suggest a solution.

Thanks.

Similar problem here since updating to iOS 5.0;

Every alert I receive will vibrate anywhere between 2-6 times. Receiving a txt message will generally vibrate 2-3 times, while other apps vibrate more. Switching to sound doesnt really resolve the issue, as I now get the sound alert going off 2-3 times within the space of a second.

so guys this is what u need to do :

go to settings > notifications > select messages > scroll down to repeat alerts > select never /.

prob solved

p.s this is for iphone running os 5 .

I am having the same problem. What's bump mean?

read my comment above urs. ur prob will get solved 🙂

I tried selecting never and it still rang twice. To fix the problem select once and that should work

hmm,. thats weird , coz i have selected repeat once..n mine alerts me twice ..lol...

None of these fixes solve my issue. It's not a repeated alert that I'm receiving, the phone vibrates a number of times at once - literally up to 6 times within a second.

I'm in the same boat. Mine only does this for texts and only does it twice...a hard reset fixed my problem last night but the problem came back this morning. I'm going to try a system restore when I get home and see if that helps.

same problem here. i selected "never" like u said but it still happens... sometimes it rings for like 5-6 times in a row.

I restored my phone last night and just re updated with os5 and my backup....seems to be working again now for me although I've only been texting this morning....but as of now everything is back to normal...give this a go!

cheers travisc8. i've done what u did and its working now.

i had the same problem. i have restored and did everything but it didn't work. then i realized that if iphone is switched off and turned on once a day it is not repeating the same problem. vibration and message tones are not doing that disturbing things. don't forget to switch off and on once a day.

It took me about an hour to figure this out, but I finally solved the problem. In order to make your phone vibrate upon receiving text messages you must make sure the physical button on the side of the phone is set to silent (orange mark). Also it will show a bell unslashed (silent mode off) and a bell slashed (silent mode on). After that part, set tones to each setting such as Ringtone, Text Tone, New Voicemail, etc... (Settings > Sounds). Please make sure the volume is set to the lowest either by the buttons (+/-) on the side of the phone or the volume bar in Settings > Sounds. EXTRA! Settings > General > Accessibility. Scroll down to Hearing, turn on custom vibrations. You can either set them to individual contacts or choose a vibration from Settings > Sounds > Scroll down to Vibration Patterns, choose a pattern. FYI: S.O.S. is pretty nice. I hope this helps out everyone.

If for some reason this does not work, please reset all settings and reapply these directions. This is 100% working for me. I just bought my phone yesterday. (11/07/11)
