Hi guys,
I like my OP6 apart from one thing. The vibrate on calls and notifications when in vibrant mode is so weak that I can't feel it when it is in my pocket. Sometimes even miss calls when it is on a table near me. I have "Vibration intensity" set to "Strong" for both and have changed app settings where possible.
Do you know any app or mode which can help? I think I will not buy OnePlus anymore because of this weak vibrations. I missed a lot of important calls
Yes it is weak for me too... I guess the vibrator is not the strongest in op6...
Just install a custom kernel (root needed).
For example, Ex kernel has the option to change the vibration level through it's app.

everyone knows that pro in facedown make mute a call. today i received a call during a meeting, putted down my pro and it silenced that call. but i forgot the raphael face down for an our and it silenced 3 calls. this kind of function is extremely usefull.
But i thought, the risk in forgetting the phone facedown is to miss a lot of calls.
my request:
Is possible to create an app that when receiving a call facing down, the flash led (flash is present near the camera in the back of raphael) start to blink intermittently i don't know, every 30second or boh... don't know.
i think can be usefull.
Sorry for my terrible english in describing my thought..
I'm waiting your opinion..
+1 for that idea.
hmmm? mine only does it when i turn it face down. if its just sitting there face down it still rings.
thats weird

Yes, but it's hidden in the registry. The easiest way to change it is using AdvancedConfig.

Mine too. And thats the normal behavior.
I think the flash LED might get a two annoying depending on the brightness.
I would think that if it just silenced the current call then after a designated amount of time it makes the phone go into vibrate mode. That way you aren't liable to miss any calls. However, I think the only problem with vibrate is that it would be annoying as well, unless it was just one quick one each call.
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...
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.
I have the vibrate set to "strong" but I'm noticing it's very weak. Almost too weak to notice, does anyone else agree?
I have mine on strong as well and it's not that strong. Don't want to know what weak feels like.
Lol. It vibrates? I must have missed that.

It works fine for me. If I was playing basketball or something, I think the sound alert would be best. But for a meeting, I have it on weak and its ok. I guess I'm more sensitive. The strong in a meeting, other people can hear the buzz.
I just got a Neo, and i agree that vibration is very weak.
I came from a Pebble kickstarter edition, and that vibrated a lot stronger.
On the Neo, i often miss messages because of the weak vibrations...never happened on the Pebble.
Gear 2, weak vibrate here too. I never tried the 1st gen Galaxy Gear so I can't compare the two. But I'm definitely disappointed. The biggest driver for me getting the Gear 2 was because I miss phone calls and other notifications a lot when my phone is in my pocket, I was hoping this was the answer but so far it hasn't been. Making the band snug helps some. I wonder if the people who have swapped to a metal band have noticed any improvement with the vibration?
Can't have vibration and sound at the same time?

+1 that was also my reason for getting the watch - missing notifications. (That and I can answer the phone on it, so cant do pebble) Lets hope on the next software push they have a "super strong" because what they call strong, if I am moving around, cant be felt. Maybe an option for vibration patterns might help too. Like if it would buzz me longer or more times that would be better at least.
having same problem
Gear 1 vibration was way stronger!

Yep, very disappointing. I have the Neo and I sometimes won't even feel it if I'm moving around.

Same here, came from a pebble, have my phone on silent and my watch too, depend on the vibration to notify me of missed calls or texts during meetings, sometimes cant feel a thing, hoping with time some dev finds a way of increasing strength or length of vibrate
See, to me, the vibration is perfect! I was using a ZWatch for a while and that thing sounded like an industrial vibration unit was strapped to my arm. My boss always knew when something came in, so I typically didn't bother with the vibration feature except for wake-up alarms.
With this, I get two very quick buzzes and it's silent. I've set it so the notification doesn't force the display to turn on so I can be more discreet in seeing my notifications.
I see nothing wrong with the vibration.
However, if others require more, then hopefully there's something that can be done to address it.
Hmm.. so the Gear 2 have loud shutter button but weak vibration.

Agreed! Gear 1 was much stronger. I dont think I even used it on its strongest setting it worked much better.
I miss the buzz on my Gear 2 anytime I'm moving around alot, and a lot of the time when Im driving.
Then the fun of the phantom buzz has begun. Im paying more attention looking for that faint buzz that I keep checking it for notifications to find there aren't any. Just like when you have your phone on vibrate and you THINK you felt it. ugh. (Biggest complaint about the watch.)
When I first got my Gear2 I noticed the vibrate anytime it went, but now I hardly notice it and often miss it I made sure mine is set to strong too.
When i was going through the initial setup, I'm not even sure why but the watch vibrated and it was VERY strong.... now "strong" feels like 10% of the vibration I initially felt.
Very disappointed with that, and the pedometer... I swear I sat around the house eating junk food all day and i'm nearing 4500 steps.....
I just went and got a gear 2 since my gear one broke and i have to say the vibration on this thing is much much weaker, the speaker on the other hand is much louder.
I got my Zenfone 6 two days ago and noticed that I can't feel the phone vibrating when it's in my pocket when I get calls or messages. I tried to set the vibration as strong as the settings allow to but I can't feel it in my pockets. I even tried different pants or jackets. I was wondering if someone was having the same issue or it's just my device.
Well, yes. In comparison to other phones, the vibration is not the strongest. But even for other phones, I sometimes would miss notifications when I'm not sitting somewhere.
From all of my previous phones (see My Devices) the ZF6 has the strongest and most pleasant vibration, I am very satisfied.
put intensity on max..
