RAZR I Vibration strength - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
A hope a RAZR I owner can help me: I think about changing my Samsung S2 i9100 to a Motorola RAZR I because 1. I hate Samsung's interface 2. when I install cyanogenmod S2's vibration is pretty weak.
How does RAZR I's vibrator compare to HTC's metal phones (HTC One/HTC One S/HTC One X) or Samsung Galaxy S2/Note?
(the vibrator it's really important for me because I work in a (almost) no noise environment and I keep my phone on vibrate all day; weak vibration -> lots of missed calls)
Thanks,
Dan.

The Razr I has a great vibration strengh, I had a Nexus S before and it has a really huge difference btw them
The Razr doesn't let you miss a text message or wathever

Even if it's weak, i think you can change it's strenght...

The stock vibration strength is ok, but not average. I use the app "vibation notifier", you can adjust how often and how strong the phone should vibrate. It´s free and it works perfect.

Weak Vibration

Coming from HTC Desire Hd I find the vibration quite weak and I've missed quite a few calls and as for sms it is so short I almost never feel it. Any similar experiences? Is there any possibility my unit is defected?
this is also my biggest problem with the note. hopefully with a case, some thickness will be achieved and I will feel the vibrations.
I come from a HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile) and the vibration is really a lot weaker then the vibrate from my Touch Pro and also a lot shorter for most of the alarms.
As i believe the vibration intensity can not be changed as this is hardware. Maybe we can make the vibration longer somehow?
Best would be to set the vibration length etc. for every single alarm event?
I miss so many settings from my windows mobile device in android.
Try:Settings>Sound>Viberation intensity

yes. thanks but i already found that setting and everything is on the highest setting for me but it is still a lot weaker then Touch Pro.
But i think i can live with this.
Also it seems the Google Mail App (not the normal E-Mail App ) does not support vibration at all?

[Q] Haptic Feedback

I got the Nexus 6 after coming off a few generations of Galaxy phones (S4 and Note 3), and I'm currently using the Tab S. I love the haptic feedback on them, as it's not overbearing but it definitely lets me know I'm hitting the keys. So far, the feedback on the Nexus 6 has been a bit overwhelming. The vibration is almost loud enough to sound like a real keyboard, and it shakes the whole device instead of feeling like a gentle reminder that you're hitting keys. I use Swiftkey, so I know I can alter the vibration duration, but nothing I've found there has been right. It's either way, way too much, or too soft to matter. Is there a way to change the intensity to match something like the Tab or the Note, instead of what it's set to?

Just got the phone in hand. Ask your questions.

I do not have access to wifi right now so I can't test that part but I can answer any questions you guys might have.
Just got mine last night. You having any luck with MMS? I'm using a Fi sim card, SMS works, but no dice on the MMS.
Nevermind, got MMS and SMS working. Made some adjustments to APNs. GSM with Fi sim getting strong Band 4 reception in my area. Everything works fine for $199...
Crappy camera(not really surprised) and slow fingerprint sensor aside, it's a pretty good phone. The display is very impressive for $200.
Anyone figure out how to root it ?

Do you have a link? It's $250 on Amazon.
I have the "new" Bold N1 phone on android 9 pie, and I thought this was an issue with the phone BUT the speakerphone and headphone volume in calls(media and notification sounds is loud enough) is LOWER than every other volume on the phone and super ****ing quiet. When you go to the sound settings it gives you 4 slider bars for volume, media, ringer etc and they give you a test sound when you lift your finger off the slider, well the call volume(not the ringer) is all the way up and WAY quieter than every other slider bar test sound when it is all the way up, I tested the same slider on my pixel 3 with android pie 9 and the exact same thing, does anyone know how to make the speakerphone/in call/in call headphone volume louder? it seems like its capped as the rest of the sounds on the devices are loud and clear.
I was about to do an RMA for the device but the same problem is on the pixel 3 as well running android 9, has anyone ran into this? If you are on android 9 on any phone, Go into your settings and goto sounds and put every slider up high and listen and see if the call volume beep slider is MUCH lower than the other sliders and reply to this please or if you have a fix tell me! it makes talking on the phone almost unusable with how quiet it is and is making me want to pull my hair out.
As proof its android 9 pie and NOT either of the phones I downloaded a secondary texting app called Textnow and placed a phone call through there and low and behold the speakerphone was loud and so was my headphones but it uses data and is not my actual phone number so not usable full time so something is happening with the actual phone software app on the phones and not a speaker defect. I have tried different phone apps too from the playstore but they all connect to the same dialer and therefore use the phone instead of textnow using their own dialer/phone software.

Just google root for Helio P70. There are a few apps to root it. I am using mine for work so rooting isn't an option.

I do not have this problem either on my Pixel 3 or this phone. It's loud enough to be used a speaker phone during call. I am on T-Mobile.
I haven't had any loudness issues, but I am experiencing the infamous Android Bluetooth "stutter". Overall, for 200 bucks, it's a pretty decent phone. OLED screen is worth the price alone. Headphone jack and wireless charging are nice. Build quality seems pretty good. Almost stock software is a bonus. But this is a budget phone, so... Haven't noticed much lag that you might expect from a device with the P70 chipset. The screen is actually a little "punchier" than the 3aXL I had. At least it seemed so to me. But again, it costs 200 bucks (from Blu/Bold with $50 launch discount). Had to tinker around to get Fi sim working (my Sony H9493 and Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch needed zero mods for Fi sim to work) and the Bluetooth stutter may be a deal breaker if I can't straighten it out. Also, expect zero customer service and few if any software updates along with a shady reputation... Anyway, just my two cents.
Ive been looking at rooting mines and I've google how to root the Helio P70 but I couldn't find anything the search came back with different phones did you have a link what I should look for about rooting the n1
Warning guys!
The first process: having a stock ROM!
Other situation: someone with experience for revive phone if happen anything wrong.
Possible process ROOT:
- patched boot with magisk
- TWRP
So think about....

Frameroot is known to work on Mediatek SOC. Try that.

You can't just pop a sim into an unknown unlock phone with Verizon. You gonna have to call CS and beg them to let the device active on Verizon. Good luck with that.
Okay, just found the original OEM for this phone. It's call Centric S1(which strangely MSRP in India for $278 USD)
There are root articles for that phone but they probably will not work due to N1 having July 2019 security patch with Android 9.
So.... I thought the P70 will run fornite but I keep getting device not supported... Was I wrong about the P70 supporting fornite?

That's weird. . . I still can't get this thing rooted. On the other hand, it's pretty snappy ??
Can someone make it clear - it has eMMC or UFS storage type? Thanks in advance.

Surrounding vibration system quality

Hi! I'm aware that the rog phone 2 has actually two vibration motors. Since I have it I couldn't really tell if there actually was one or two motors, as the vibration allways seems to come from the bottom, so I made a test with Asphalt 9 (the game they use to advertise the vibration system and came preinstalled) and actually felt the two vibration motors working separately.
I know by the "Jerry rig everything" video that the top motor is smaller than the bottom one, and during my test I muted the sound and noticed that the top motor makes a not so pleasant sound, I even could say it is painful to hear and noticeably loud, it is almost like an electric noise. My question is, can this be considered normal? Can anyone relate to this with their own device? Thanks!

Weak Vibration Motor

I'm pretty dissapointed by the weak vibration motor in the phone.
It feels like they put a really cheap one in sadly
It's stronger than my old phone (Huawei Mate 10), although that one was super weak.
Not sure if it's just weak but the placement.. On a table I hear the vibrations fine but when its in my hand typing, its as if the vibration is non-existent. Also may want to try turning up vibration intensity, i felt it helped a tad bit
You are talking about haptics...I do not use them...they serve no purpose...but as a vibration motor for notifications it is only a step down from my old Moto X Pure (those were the days of great customizable phones) that had a vibration motor thatwould knock the fillings out of your teeth. I think the FE has a very good vibration motor.
