Vibrate on Silent? Am I doing it wrong?

[armoredsaint]

So I flip the switch on the side - when I got a call it didn't vibrate, did I not set something correctly? I did turn on the LED indicator, that did flash and very brightly too -made everyone at my meeting look at me and give me a WTF look

Check settings-sounds and make sure vibrate on ring and vibrate on silent are both on.

When on Silent mode, mine is not vibrating when receiving a call. I have both 'vibrate on ring' and 'vibrate on silent' on in Settings.
When on 'Normal' mode, it does vibrate when I receive calls.

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

I have a 4S running iOS6 by the way.

No one else with this problem?

Thanks

You have to set " vibration - on " in sound settings too, as i remember...

I have the "vibrate on silent" toggle on "ON" while in silent mode, but the vibrate is like a series of very short pulses. I'm running iOS 6 on a Verizon iPhone 4.

Sometimes I can't feel it pulsing, so I miss a call.

Anyone know if the series of short vibrating pulses when the phone is on silent mode with "vibrate on silent" toggle turned "ON" a new feature?

Sorry for the confusing post.

You might have changed the vibrate style to "heartbeat". Go to Sounds and double-check.

Yeah. It was on Heartbeat. Haha, gonna change it back.

Thanks!

Check Vibrate on Ring Setting

Go to Settings=>Sounds=>Ringtone=>Vibration. Mine was set to "none". I changed it to one of the vibration options and now it works.

Thanks, had no idea you could change the vibration tone like that.

Thanks, didn't think of that before! Now works!
