So I have asked this before and I've searched everywhere on the internet and have not found an answer.
After updating to the official Gingerbread update from AT&T my vibration intensity on incoming calls, texts and plugging in the USB is very strong. Too strong.
I know that on the SGII and maybe even the Infuse, that there's an option in the menu to adjust Vibration Intensity (and I'm not talking about the Haptic Feedback vibration intensity). So I decided to poke around in the settings.db file in /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings. I found there are two entries VIB_RECVCALL_MAGNITUDE and VIB_NOTIFICATION_MAGNITUDE. I tried to change the values but it makes no difference. And I haven't been able to find any documentation on these.
I think it is something with the official release, because I used SGS Tools and did the vibration test and the vibration that put out was like how it was on Froyo.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Does anyone know how to adjust the vibration? When I use the vibrate profile, I miss calls when the phone's in my pocket as I don't feel it vibrate.
I've searched the forums & found VAlert, which seems to be buggy on the Diamond.
I'm using TouchResponse, so know the vibration can be adjusted, but then all actions on the phone will be changed.
Steve.
(Can't seem to find this option either on the inbuilt phone settings.)
Stock D2 with 6.1.
No ideas anyone?

After I updated my Captivate to the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 update...When I get a call or notification, the vibration is way more intense than what it was on Froyo. Has anyone else had this problem?
From your home screen, when you enter Settings, can you then click on: Sound, and then Vibration Intensity? If so, you should then be able to lower it a bit.
The reason I ask is I'm not running stock GB, but Legend 3.4, and that setting is grayed out. But if it's available in stock, try it.
Go into settings/sounds make sure haptic feedback is check , then set the vibration intensity.
Thanks guys,
but I've already looked into that. On the official Gingerbread release there is no 'Vibration Intensity' option except for the Haptic Feedback part. And when I adjust the haptic feedback vibration intensity it does adjust some of the system vibrations (the vibrate when I put it on 'vibrate', etc.) but it does nothing to the call and notification vibrations.
But thanks for your input!

An idea? Have you tried adjusting the call settimgs under 'all calls'? Turn off the vibrate settings there for vibrate on connect. It will still vibrate on silent mode.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA
I recently upgraded to stock ICS 4.0.3 via KIES.
I have the ringtone and notification vibration intensities set to max under Settings -> Sound -> Vibration Intensity. When I change the intensity under this menu, I can feel a very strong vibration, however, when I receive calls, the vibration intensity does not match what I have set and is almost unnoticeable. I have missed several calls because of this issue.
Does anyone know of another setting or app that will fix this?
Never mind. Decided to go back to GB and problem is fixed. LPY seems to be really buggy at the moment...
Hey guys,
I love the X but in my mind there is a big problem with this phone. The strength of the vibration. I searched the whole forum and it seems that there is still no solution to adjust the strength of it.
Maybe a custom rom could work but i want to keep the stock.
I now had the idea of “replacing” the standard vibration with the one that applies, when you shake your phone to enable the camera mode. In my opinion it has a very smooth feeling, is strong enough to feel in your pocket without making this rattle and noisy sound.
Is it possible to extract the corresponding code that tells the phone how it should vibrate when the camera is activated and exchange the normal vibration behavior with it, when I get a notification.
Or am I off the track with this idea that the vibration function is controlled by a simple code line?
I looked to see if I could find that vibrate pattern somewhere and emulate it with Tasker, because like you said, it feels very smooth and gradual, instead of the violent feel of the "normal" one.
In Tasker you can specify the pattern for vibration in an OFF/ON/OFF/ON/etc sequence. I played with it for a little while one day but didn't get very far. I tried a few different on and off times to see what felt similar but couldn't pin it down.
I did poke around in the system for files related to the camera to see if there was any files specifying how to make it vibrate, but I didn't have any luck there either.
For what it's worth, I use Tasker to vibrate my phone when I get a new SMS and my screen is off. I use a shorter vibration than the standard SMS one, but still do two pulses.
I just upgraded to 5.0.1 and it seems that the vibration intensity is much much lower that any other ROM I've tried. I don't know do we already have new kernels for this instance, or there is a way-around to fix this issue.
Just while tying (in Google's native keyboard) I don't get enough vibration feedback, however the incoming call vibro strength seems fine.
Any solutions perhaps?
