How do I get my iPhone to vibrate for calls only while my phone is on silent mode? I miss calls while my iphone is in my pocket because it doesn't vibrate when I get a call. I don't want it to vibrate for all the other apps either. Thanks!
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1
Hi chrish.22,
As the settings for "Vibrate on Ring" and "Vibrate on Silent" are separate, you can set it to Vibrate for either Ring, Silent, or both.
Setting iPhone to Vibrate
You can have iPhone vibrate when you receive a call. Separate controls let you sent iPhone to vibrate in ring mode, silent mode, or both.
Set whether iPhone vibrates
From the Home screen choose Settings > Sounds. To set whether iPhone vibrates in silent mode, turn Vibrateunder Silent
on or off. To set whether iPhone vibrates in ring mode, turn Vibrate under Ring
on or off.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I tried that, but it vibrates for everything...not just calls only.
I don't think I'm being too clear on what it is I want.
I'd like to keep my phone on silent so that it doesn't vibrate for ANY apps/third party apps etc. I only want it to vibrate, when on silent, when I get a call so that I'll know when it's in my pocket instead of having it be on silent and me not knowing, therefore missing the call.
Thanks!
Hi chris.22, did you find a solution for that? I have the exact same problem!
