[REQUEST] Vibration On/Off switch using the G-Sensor

I don't know, what you think, but:
I think that the nexus One doesn't need a Ringtone if it lies on a table.
The vibration makes so much crappy noises and unfunny sounds, that no one can hear some ringtone ;-)
OK, I'm just kiddin...
But:
I like the vibration much. If I have the Nexus in the jacket or the trousers, I need it, because sometimes I can't hear it ringing.
When I'm in office, my Nexus lies on the table. Now I don't need the vibration. Only ringtone.
Now I've to make the changes: I lie the Nexus on the table and change the vibration to off. Going away, I take my Nexus and change the vibration to on.
What do you guys think? Am I the only one, who think that the vibration mode isn't very impressive on the table?
Is it possible to make a setting to swith the vibration off, if the nexus lies straight on a floor? I think of using the G-Sensor for this.

What if you are sitting down and the phone is in your pocket? Wouldn't the phone be horizontal then? Maybe it would need be refined to only disable the vibrate function when the phone is horizontal AND the screen is facing up. I assume most people probably put the phone in their pockets with the screen facing their leg...
Not a bad idea though. It's similar to other phones that will stop ringing if you put the phone face down.

Don't other HTC devices have this capability? Like some have a vibrate only function, or a silence if you flip it over while it's ringing.

Yeah, ringing is okay, ringing must be on, but the vibration is so scary on a table...

[Q] Very Weak Vibration

I have i727r. When I got the phone the vibration for phone calls and notifications was pretty weak. It may just be me but it seems like its gotten even weaker since then. I often won't even feel it vibrating in my pocket. Is this everyones experience or did I get a dud that I should send in?

you can change the vibration intensity

Hit the thanks button by mistake. Oh well, guess I popped ur thanks cherry lol. Change intensity yes, but if it was weak to begin with it may be faulty, I highly suggest a warranty return

Ya I know I have it turned up all the way for both calls and notifications. But thanks for the suggestion. Strangely haptic feedback seems to feel stronger than call vibration. For a warranty return do you think they'll give me a new phone then and there or send it in for repairs?

Haptic feedback vibrations are strong? Can I make a suggestion and have u flash my efs fix from here?:

It may help, but I guarantee it won't hurt

From the day I got the phone, I always thought the vibration was pretty weak too. I always crank up the intensity in settings but it's still pretty soft. Haven't noticed any difference across various ROMs. I guess it's just a tradeoff between being able to really feel the vibrate but it being loud (like my old Blackjack) and making it a quieter vibrate but it being weak. Still bugs me a bit tho.

T989 has strong vibrations, but when I install an i727 kernel, it has weak vibrations, so yes, it is a bit soft, but I think you can overcrank the haptic feedback seetings in framework, so it has strong vibrations...
Speed is nothing more than just a word... a judgment ...

I figured there's gotta be a way. Would that increase the notification vibrate too though?

You would just need to re-try until you get right settings.

Good day guys ,
I've been reading around post and post regarding the vibration issues with the S2.
Now , I have transformed a SHW-M250S into a GT I9100 which from what I understand is the reason for loosing the vibration strength.
Unfortunately i couldn't find a specific post directly related to this issue , only hints every here and there , some regarding playing around with the vibrator file in the sys. folder , but i don't know if this were device specific or not.
My device is rooted and i'm running 2.3.5.
Is there anyone who managed to get a fix for this ? i.e. flashing a different Kernel , etc. ?
Thank you for your time !

I've also noticed the vibration has gotten weaker in the year I've had the phone now. I remember it being really strong, especially before I got a case protector (rubberized on the inside of the case)... Could be my fault though because I fried the charging port and installed a new part.
It seems now i hear the vibration more than I feel it, even when turned on maximum.

Call Volume

So i picked up the Maxx HD over the weekend. Loved the phone but the call volume even on the highest setting was quiet. Is anyone else having issues with this? I saw it mentioned on a few reviews but not on everyone. I ended up returning it and going back to my S3. Opinions

My wife keeps telling me i'm a little muffled and i guess it is kinda quiet as well.

I was also being told i was muffled. Hmmm
Sucks cause I really liked the hardware

Mine is loud and clear- almost too loud at times. The network could have an affect on call quality/volume at times as well.

I have this issue as well. A lot of people have asked me to repeat what I am saying. I did not have this issue on my last phone, the droid charge. I have turned off the voice privacy setting and it seemed to have helped a little bit, however I also have been consciously trying to speak louder and hold the phone closer to my mouth. I went into the Verizon store shortly after buying the phone and the sales man denied it. He let me listen myself from his phone and the signal sounded cloudy to me

Had the phone since it came out and not once had these issues with the call volume or muffled sound. Its actually loud and clear for me.

If I hold my phone it is crystal clear
If I use my shoulder to talk I get that muffled response from people
Otherwise its a solid phone...just annoying it does that

Yes, I'm one of the people that think the max call volume on the HD isn't as loud as some other phones, but still loud enough.
For example, on the HD I had the call volume set on 6/7, but the Galaxy S III on 4/7 was the same volume. Turing the GS3 up all the way is way louder than I need.

yaa call volume is low nut perfect as Loud Sound is also not good as every phone....

Just picked up my HD and having the same issue. Is there a fix for this without root? I know with my previous phones there was a tweak

My boss just got the Maxx and purple have been telling him he is really muffled as well. Another coworker also had Maxx and is fine. Be had already swapped the phone once so (unless he got another bad one or is a bad batch) is not the phone.

[Q] Call volume very low?

Is anyone else finding their call volume seems pretty low, my older s4 seemed to have been a little louder at full volume, but when full on the s6 im struggling to hear people sometimes.
Also, there is an option called 'extra volume' and when i press this on, there doesnt seem to be any difference in volume?
James

I noticed this too
Wow I expected the S6 to be revolutionary phone, but it's just full of problems...so dissapointed right now, hoping some smart developer will make a perfect rom for this device one day..

Bump

i agree, can anyone figure out how to make it louder? perhaps through mixer path?

Call Volume is horrible, what can I do to fix it?

Hello.
I've gotten pretty frustrated with using my 3a for a while now regarding this specific issue, the call volume is just always super low and makes using the default phone app unbearable because I can hardly hear the other person, it is ALWAYS at max volume btw.
I just genuinely do not understand why the call volume is so low whilst the other volumes (media, alarms, etc) don't seem to have this issue and I can even get additional apps to boost the volume for those- but not the call volume.
It seems to have gotten worse just several days ago when some liquid hit the grill , so now instead of it sounding like someone is 3 feet away from the phone, it just sounds like 6 feet away. But even with this situation, it did NOTHING to my other volume settings.
Is there anything I can do to improve the loudness at all without depending on headphones? I would prefer having the phone on my ear , especially since calls on headphones literally echo whatever gets picked up on my microphone back to me I just honestly hate it.

Get a replacement phone. That's not normal. My call volume gets loud.

Is that really the only possible solution here...?
Everything else is fine...I just cannot find a way to make the call volume louder, just seems like Im stuck putting it on speakers or using headphones at the moment.
