For the worse! All of a sudden, it's been made stronger, to sap a few more percent out of the phone. I'm really not impressed with this update. Why can't we set haptic feedback, it was fine before! The problem was the vibrate on ring is so weak.

For me it was the opposite. Haptic feedback was horrendous on 4.4, but was just fine when the phone rang. Typing on the keyboard with haptics turned on was an exercise in patience, as it seemed like the motor could not keep up.
For me, it's 100% better in 4.4.2. If you're not enjoying it, turn it off, or flash a kernel that allows customization.
When in vibrate mode, I can't feel any notification !
The phone does vibrate but the vibration is so slight I can't barely even hear it when the phone is close to me on the table.
When the phone is in my pants pocket or on a soft surface, I cant feel a thing at all.
Has anyone experienced this yet?
Thanks.
I can say what your describing is the exact issue I had with my OnePlus 5 and installed EX Kennel to bump the vibration strength but want by much unfortunately.
I have my OnePlus 6 in the OnePlus sandstone case and it cause the vibration much easier to hear sure to a slight restore but not annoying at all. I agree though in my pocket I barely hear it and certainly can't feel it.
Do you mean, it's normal and inherent to OnePlus to have very faint unfeelable vibration?
yeah the vibration on this phone is pretty crappy. They defiantly used cheap parts. One of my cons of this device.

You can adjust vibration intensity for calls and notifications in the sounds menu
Actually it's not cheap parts, it's small parts. The vibrator seems to be very small (see iFixit) probably to make room for other things (which I approve )
That was the first thing I tried.
Before posting this thread.
Yep I'm in the same boat. The awful weak vibration on this phone really sucks. I hope it can be at least slightly improved in software...
unfortunately history shows it's not possible to mend it. Since OPO they couldn't manage a proper motor on any OP phones as I read. The saga continues. (I had OPO, this was my biggest issue at the time, now same with OP6)
so does everyone just keep the ringtones on?
It's a real shame - you don't notice how important it is until it's gone... I'm still holding out hope for a way to change the pattern - if it went a bit longer for notifications I might notice it but the two weak little buzzes aren't doing much. Any ideas?
i sit on my bed the phone stays besides me...maybe only 3 inch away from me.. notice only 3 inch and still I can't feel it or hear it.. it's not possible to always keep the phone in ring mode.. tried ex kernel to increase..it slightly improved but not that much to be felt... it's a shame..and i think I'll have to change this phone for only this reason..this is a pretty great phone but this little thing makes a world of a difference for me

it's not quite possible...i had a 5t with same problem.. tried blu spark kernel and it improved to feel at least but with this op6 it's not possible because i tried ex kernel and same sh*t vibration
I've been consistently missing texts due to this. Is there a kernel fix anyone has? I'm thinking of installing one. CleanSlate looks good, but I don't think it does vibration intensity. Darn shame.
Looks like that's what it is.
Maybe we can ask Oneplus support to consider it for some next update?
I had the same issue with my OP5T. Could only feel light vibration and nothing when in pocket. Now the situation is even worse. My phone doesn't vibrate at all in Vibrate mode and I don't find any options to customize it.
Yeah, it sucks. Even coming from an old phone like the 6s Plus, the motor was a huge downgrade.
I was surprised to see that there isn't an option for making your own vibration patterns like iOS does.
Strange because it's usually iOS that abstains cool features.
Maybe some dev can build a magsik module that checks the proximity sensor and if triggered (like the pocket mode), it vibrates way longer, like 70ms.
Hi. I was hoping someone may have an answer to this. I have had a P20 Pro since July and for the past little while I have noticed that the vibration motor, haptic feedback for typing, will have normal strength and then once or twice a day it will lose power and feel weaker than it does when it is functioning normally. Has anyone else noticed this when typing throughout the day? Do the vibrations become weaker sometimes when typing on the P20 Pro? Thanks.
From my experience. Haptic feedback for typing and touching screen is one of the first things people turn off after getting new phone. Not sure if you will get many answers. Regards
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.

hello guys.. i think ,our poco x2's vibration motor is too weak. because when i kept it in pocket (silent mode+vibrate) i cant notice the vibration for incoming calls. this is embarrassing. share your experiences please.. and any workaround for this ?

they used a very low quality vibration motor to cut the cost. the haptic feedback is way beyond bad. but i guess they tweaked something in miui12 eu version cause there was some improvement. you can try that.
I'm on eu 12 and also don't feel vibrations
