Vibration Notifications not working with Verizon Message+ app on Galaxy S8. Vibrations setting is set to Alway on within App.

Is anyone having issue in not having vibration notifications working with the Verizon Message+ app?  I have my setting set to Vibration always on.  I receive vibration notification with other apps.  Is this just a software issue with the Message+ app?

I have the same issue. If the phone is set to vibrate I don't get the vibration which an incoming text message and the led does not blink. If it's set to sound on they both work and if the phone is on silent the led works. It seems that there is something broken when the phone is set to vibrate while using messages+. Seeing as how it works fine with other apps I believe it's a messages + issue.

hockeycoach761, I use the Verizon Message + app on my own Android Smartphone. Hearing that your Message + app is not vibrating when you're receiving notifications greatly concerns us and we'd like to get this resolved for you. Just a few questionsto ask of you. How long has this been happening and has the Message + app ever vibrated on your device when you're receiving notifications to it?

Is this thread still open?  I have the same problem.  Cleared cache, disabled and restarted and reenabled app to no avail.  I need a message app with a repeat feature, and of course vibration.  Samsung Message used to have this feature, but now it appears that the Verizon Message + app is my only choice--and now it won't vibrate.  Please resolve this issue.  Thanks.  I will answer VEX Support questions.  Vibration worked with this app on my previous phone, the S6, but never worked with my newly purchased 8+.

We realize how important it is to have your notifications working to let you know when you receive a text.  Texting is used so frequently in our daily lives.  Let’s work on this together and start off by checking some of your settings.  Please go into the Message + application, then go to Menu (lines in top left corner), and then Settings.  Please select Vibrate and tell us what option is selected.  Is your Driving Mode turned on?  Is your “Notifications-Display message notifications in status bar option checked on (enabled)?

Vibrate is set to "Always," driving mode is off, "Heads Up Notification" is checked.
