sms vibrate notification not working

[#1]

Need help,

My sms vibrate notification is not working even my vibrate notification in both sound setting and sms is turned on

It only vibrates when the sound if off, but the setting in the vibrate is set to 'always'

On call, it always vibrate, the only problem is when receiving an sms when the sound is on.

turn off your phone -> take the battery out -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds -> put the battery back on -> turn it on and check again

if not

then go to settings -> privacy -> settings reset

(this will delete passwords and other settings)

if that doesn't solve the issue then

backup everything and then repair your phone with Update Service (SEUS)

I forgot to ask, are you using

1) task killer?

or

2) antivirus (mcafee)?

or

3) juice/battery defender?

if you are, that might be the cause of the issues, they cause more harm that they help, remember you don't need an antivirus

No luck on the first step.

Im using avg pro antivirus, missed call and audio manager(but deleted since I thought this was the app causing the problem)
