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...

I recently noticed that I was always missing calls and not seeing notifications while my phone is on vibrate. I got someone to call me while my phone was on vibrate and noticed that the vibrate is REALLY REALLY weak. It was not this way when I first purchased the phone. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
What I've tried: Turning haptic feedback on and changing the vibrate intensity level to full in preferences > sound & display. It vibrates just fine for the haptic feedback but still has a very weak vibrate for ringing and notifications.
The only modifications I've made to the phone are: Root, circle battery icon mod and uninstalled AT&T bloatware.
I recently flashed Doc's Froyo ROM for Bell. It's been great. I usually put my phone on silent before I sleep and after the first time I put it back on vibrate, I noticed that when receiving a text message my phone vibration is really weak, barely even noticeable.
For the past few days I've been trying a bunch of settings and nothing works. I know it's not the actual vibration motor because the vibration is good when I test in the diagnotic mode or when I receive a call. I also noticed that there is no vibration setting in the Messaging app, which used to be in 2.1.
I also tried the Sound Manager app, reset to factory settings, other messaging apps and nothing works. Anybody have a clue what the problem is?
I'm having the same issue under Perception, which is JK3 based as well. I hope someone figures it out.
Edit: Never mind. My vibration intensity was turned way down on this ROM by default. I cranked it up and everything is fine.

Where did you find that intensity option?
this took me a while to work but but this is how u change it:
Settings > Sound > Vibration Intensity
Note: MUST have Heptic Feedback turned on to adjust the Vibration intesity, once selected the amount you want, just untick Heptic Feedback if you do not wish to use it
Just tried it and message vibration is still barely noticeable.

Does the ROM you're using include an OC/UV kernel? I'm wondering because I downloaded Xan's voltage app and changed my IO scheduler from BFQ to NOOP and my vibration became very weak, regardless of the haptic feedback setting. I changed it back to BFQ and, after a reboot, my vibration went back to normal.

Hy everybody, I've installed the cyanogen 7.1.0 version on my samsung Galaxy S, and everything is working fine
I got just one little problem, i can't get sms vibration working, even in "Vibration" mode.
If I select the "Vibration" mode (no sound, the one with the little notification area icon showing a phone with vibration coming out of it) and check in "Audio" settings that vibration is ON I can't get vibration when receiving messages.
I found a workaround by selecting, in Message settings, vibration to "Always", BUT, if I want to use 4 "profiles", that are:
-no sound
-vibration
-sound
-sound+vibration
i get vibration in ALL of them, whereas my idea is to get vibration in "vibration" and "sound+vibration" mode, and no vibration in "sound" and "no-sound".
Anyone can help my posting his audio setting to get this working?
Thank you very much
anyone? This is driving me crazy!
So I've searched everywhere but I haven't been able to find an answer.
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.

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?
