Hello, i have a little problem, when I had my old phone HTC Artemis (P3300) I had it mute and set only on vibration. When i had my phone in pocket I felt it everytime when i had incoming phone call or sms. Now with my Leo, whe i set my phone to vibration only mode I often didn't recognize if someone really calling. Don't feel anything... Is it possible that Leo has lower vibration than my old Artemis?
If yes, is any way how to make it vibrate more?
ThX
set it to vibrate not silent and see if it helps
dunno about vibrating more or something. not sure if it is posible... all I know is there is an app i had see in opnmarket that changes the vibration pattern. see if that helps too
cheers
Do you have a rubber case on? I also had this issue and when I removed the rubber case the vibration was stronger.

Why does the phone vibrate when on a call? Seriously - this should be built into the operating system. A notification sound will suffice. It's so annoying to have a vibrations all on your earlobes. Is there a way (app) to configure this? Anyone else feel me or am I making a big deal about this?
Never noticed mine vibrate,
what is the notification for?
I turn off all in-call notifications though.

In-call notifications? Where is that? The vibrations come from sms messages.
Never noticed that.. but I have had the 'smart alarm' go off while I was talking on the phone. Was quite convenient.
And apparently it is audible enough to hear on the other end as several people have inquired as to what the noise was.

Mine doesn't vibrate when on call. Just gives a beep, maybe because I turn off vibrating notification in the sound and display setting
Wow. So I'm the only one that uses vibration for text messages? Also noticed it vibrates while charging - this also mystifies me because I don't see why anyone would need it to vibrate while being charged. Is this not common sense? I wonder if this happens with other android devices?

No, this happened to me several times. I eventually just turned off the vibrations all together. I agree, it would be nice to get a notification tone in the ear if you have the vibrate function on.
Have you tried Handcent SMS? It has great customizations for the vibration feature, among other things. Even different vibration patterns for distinct individuals. Give it a shot - might be what you're looking for.

I need the vibrate alert far too much to disable it all together. I rarely hear my phone, but almost always feel it.

Why would you not want it to vibrate while charging? During calls I could see (I have the same complaint actually), but why during charging?
+1 for a solution to this. Way too annoying when your on a call and you get a txt message but turning off vibrate is not an option.

Well, if the phone is charging its obviously plugged in. If its plugged in, its not in my pocket...its probably on a table or desk. Why do I want it to vibrate on the desk? If I'm not touching it, I can't feel it so an audible alert is good enough...
Its annoying sure, but I don't make enough phone calls for it to be really a bother. Oh well.

Is there a phone in the market that upon sensing external power it automatically switches notification type? Pike
I've had a quite a few smart phones (or so I thought) and don't recall any if them doing that.
Then again, if it's charging, it's not in your pocket. Switch notification to audible and problem solved. Takes all of one second.

All of my previous phones were running Symbian - none of them vibrated while on the phone or charging (moot point really).
Who wants to remember to switch their notifications to anything after a phone event happens? While you're at it, why not tell people to make sure they turn off their ringtones when they place or receive a call. Same logic. Doesn't make much sense to me...
I agree. Other phones I've had don't turn vibrate off when plugged in. I think they should, but they don't. So you can't really call this a "defect" with the Captivate.
However, I don't recall any of the other phones I've had vibrating in your ear when you are on a call. To me, that is a oversite with the dialer app and should be fixed.
I agree with you. I have had the think vibrate my ear off a few times.
One thing that really pisses me off is the dialer with an incomming call. ITs a pain in the ass to actually answer the call. Intead of it answering when you swipe, you have to go through 3 steps:
-Swipe
-pick end call or hold call
-swipe again to answer.
Im going to start a new thread to see if anyone knows how to answer call waiting instantly without these steps.
Here's an app I quickly made that disables the notificiation vibrator when in a call. It is a very simple/minimal app with no icons to run, or settings to change. Just don't uninstall while in a call or the vibrate setting will remain off. I only tried it with Call + Gmail vibrate.
hth
Got ya.
Its just a matter of how i use my phone. When my phone is charging, most of the time its on vibrate and i feel the vibration in the table/desk or hear it on my night stand.
I just didn't make the jump in logic.

First off, my apologies for not proof reading my poor swyping abilities.
What I was trying to state is that if it bothers you so much that the phone should ring as opposed to vibrate when plugged in , it just takes a second to change the notification type. Not sure what is there that doesn't make sense?
The vibrating in your ear, is totally understandable, hence why i didn't comment on that. IF my phone vibrated while it's on my ear, i'd be upset too.

I don't think you have sms vibrations set or maybe you're using non-stock rom - it's under the messages application. You had me for a minute cause I never checked call settings\all calls. Nonetheless - no that doesn't work. It still vibrates on a call.

Thanks I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately it seemed to turn off the vibrations all together. Lol. Even when I'm not on a call it doesn't vibrate. Can we get a second iteration? Please?
Thank you guys for the Handcent and ChompSMS suggestions. These seem to handle the message events the way I expect as they allow for in-call vibration alert customizations. Unfortunately they take over and get rid of my message puzzle pieces (cheezy I know, but I've grown to like those little things). I'm so picky - but that's what great about android right? Endless customizations!
I defintely would be interested in a less intrusive way to deal with the issue (i.e NoInCallVibrate)
Hi there,
new HTC Sensaton arrived today - and I have problem with it. It vibrates very loud - it's even uncomfortable to use it in quiet places (vibrations when using buttons). When the back cover is off it's fine - it's perfectly quiet. When it's on - some part of back cover just vibrates, or something between the body and back cover cracks. I did some tests with foam tape inside - sometimes helps, sometimes not, also it's not what you want to do with a new phone.
Anybody else expecting this problem ? Is replacement the only solution ?
Thanks!

I don't have the Sensation yet, but you should be able to deactivate the haptic feedback without problems - just go to Settings -> Sound and disable "Haptic feedback". This won't affect incoming call or messaging vibrations, only the very annoying touch vibrations most Android phones come preconfigured with. If there are still other places that show haptic feedback, special settings in that specific application are typically to blame (like call dialer-feedback which has its own preference panel on most phones; keyboard vibration on some keypads which can be disabled under Settings -> Language & Keyboard).

I know that - but I do like vibrate feedback of touch operations. I use it now in Desire HD, and I want to keep it. Also I don't expect it to be a problem with every Sensation. I just hope that someone got same problem and managed to fix the hardware - using hammer or something like that.
Hi everyone. In CM10, under the Sound Settings, there is an option to have the hardware (Home, Back, Menu) buttons vibrate when pressed. However, I have found that the vibration intensity is too high and I instead prefer the vibration intensity that Sense provides. Is there any way to tweak the button vibration intensity in CyanogenMod 10?

Mhhmm would love to see this!

i would like to fix this too. bump!
yeah unfortunately there is no way to really change that... i love the sense vibration but im just an aosp guy, so i don't really tend to flash many sense roms
Hi All:
I have used more than one HTC smartphones (One S & M8), then I left HTC for Samsung because of a thing it could sound strange but it is about my control over my smartphone & how I feel regarding the smartphone I'm using.
I have two questions I'd like from A9 owners to answer me regarding it:-
1- Vibration feedback .... when you answer a call & the phone screen is on, HTC UI will assume that you need to be notified that your call have been answered by vibrating ....... in A9 is the case still the same or I can stop vibrating completely ??
2- Vibration feedback when using fingerprint scanner ........... again I read some where every time you use fingerprint scanner the phone will vibrate when you pass the lock !!!!!!!!!!!!??
I hope the case is not the same anymore, HTC should stop this vibrating stuff since the battery is already small & vibrating consume more power & for me it is so annoying thing.
a Smartphone should only vibrate when I want it to vibrate, it is something up to me not to HTC UI or Android !
You can disable haptic feedback once and for all in settings.
No by disable haptic feedback.
Iam still facing same, i already disable all haptic feedback and all vibrations.
