I do not like how minimal the Droid 3's vibrate function is, compared to my Droid 1. Anyone else notice how nearly imperceptible it is?
i agree, also its not as loud as other phones...and sometimes it doesnt do the DROID sound it just vibrates even though i have the sound on
it's not as loud, but I do like that because when I have my phone on vibrate, I want it to be for only me to know and not everyone around me. just sayin
Funny, coming from a DX2 and an EVO, I thought the D3 had the most noticeable vibrate of them all.
I'm using K-9 Mail for my corporate account, and it has a customizable vibrate, you can set the pattern and duration, and it's great. So I know the D3 is capable of a more significant vibrate. It'd be nice if there was a way to adjust it for my Gmail account, text messaging, phone calls, etc.
My new Droid3's vibrate is loud as hell. I even tried to get handcent to make a very short vibrate frequency.. no help, still loud.
I wish there was a method we could kick some power into the vibe on this phone, I am used to the OG droid where I could hear and feel it on the Droid 3 i can only hear it.
D3 vibrate is still really silent for me, but interestingly enough, the Bionic's vibrate works great.

Both my volume and my vibrate are really sub par

I'm not sure if any other Captivates have this problem, but whenever I get a call and my ringtone goes off, it plays at a very low volume for a second and after that it would ring at the max volume. I also noticed this on a friend of mines Captivate as well. Would there be some sort of fix for this?
ya mine does that too theres no option in settings to change it its kinda annoying
I don't think it's a defect. I think it is more of a feature. I kinda like it. Keeps the ringer from being startling if you have it on fill blast but happen to be right next to it when it rings.

Yeah, and if I'm in a meeting or a class, it gives me a split-second to hit the volume button through my pants pocket to shut it up. I like it, too.
Wish there was an option to set it like that or not. I have custom ringtones and I like to hear the full song play from the beginning, lol
Yeah, it's always best to give the user an option.
So when I'm talking on the phone and a text message comes in, it vibrates and blasts me in my ear. I love the notifications, just not when I'm talking on the phone. I consistently have to pull the phone away from my ear when this happens. You don't realize how intense the vibration is until it's in your ear.
Is there a way to disable the notification (or at least mute it) while my face is up to the phone??
Subscribing. I also am not a fan of this behavior. Need the person to repeat what they just said because I pulled the phone away while phone was vibrating. Very unprofessional. For now, I'm just turning off vibrate option in messaging and email settings. This phone should be smarter (and less laggy) right out of the box.

Yeah it's definitely annoying, but I did the same and just turned off vibration for most alerts.
Well, to be fair, it was almost kinda worse on the iPhone 3GS that I just came from. Any calls you have come in on call waiting and stuff are heard right through the line to the other person on the phone with you... and if you are on the phone with another person that also has a 3gs (as was often the case with me), neither of you knew which was getting the incoming call unless you pulled the phone away to check. Both lines heard it plain and clear.

Hello guys!
have a razr that stopped vibratin.
vibrating sometimes yes and sometimes no.
Anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
In assuming that your notification settings in calls, messages, email etc. are all set to vibrate when notified, is it hit-and-miss that your phone vibrates with the speaker on or is it just when you are using it in one of the silent modes?
I only ask because when I first got my RAZR it took me a while to figure out that in the silent modes it will only vibrate when it is actually set to “Vibrate” mode itself and not when in “Mute”, so it’s just a thought that you are not sometimes setting it inadvertently to “Mute” by mistake.
As an aside I use an app called “Vibration Notifier” from the Play Store. Essentially if you miss a message, email, call etc. you can set it to vibrate a pre-determined number of times to alert you to missed notifications. So for example, you can set it to vibrate every minute (or any other number of minutes you specify) up to a specified number of times until you turn the screen on. You can also set the length of the vibration which I find a Godsend as I find the RAZR’s default vibration pretty weedy, and you can also customise it to notify you of any other apps you may have which have a notification feature.
Thanks for help, but my phone is in vibration status... Sometimes vibration work and a feel time before, dont work more

Just got my ATT version. Two things seem wonky:
1) When on wifi, my signal bars turn grey. I still seem to be connected to the network. I can make calls, get internet, send SMS, access Google services. They turn blue on cellular. Anyone else's is grey on wifi or know how to fix?
2) The haptic feedback causes a buzzing/farting sound coming from the top of the phone. It might be the camera. haptic feedback or any other vibration sounds horrible on the phone. Anyone else's do that too?

1 is normal.
2, yes my vibration sounds a little like a rattle. Seems like at least some of these phones have cheap or noisy vibration motors.

Thanks man. I looked at several demo units from ATT stores and they all vibrate the same way too. I think it's the autofocus mechanism. The haptic feedback seems to vibrate it at the precise wavelength and amplitude to jiggle the camera around, even though it's pretty solid when you tap on the phone with your fingers.
I never use vibrate or haptic anyway so no biggie for me.

I recently received my Moto x and i have set up active display. I know when I move the phone or pick it up the phone will breathe once showing the time. If I receive a call, email or text message the display will breathe to let me now there is a notification.
My question is, if the phone is just sitting on a desk is it supposed to breathe the time or does the screen just stay off completely until you have some type of notification (missed call, text or email)?
Stays off! Chris

I've noticed that if the table gets bumped it will blink the time at me. Not a big deal just wanted to let you know

I keep mine on a stand in front of me all day at work and will get the occasional screen on with either a bump of the table or even noise? Not sure if that is possible, but sometimes it seems a loud noise will fire it up...more than likely its the vibrations from the noise, but something to note.
