Does anyone else have trouble feeling the vibration for a notification. If driving I never feel the vibration. The only time I really feel it is I am doing nothing, no move of the arm and then I feel a small tingle. I do have the vibration setting on strong and have all audio disabled as I am hard of hearing and wouldn't hear them, only annoy other people.
We need an app that lets us set vibration patterns, allowing for a longer vibration instead of the two short pulses.
Agreed, my Pebble vibration is much stronger. Sometimes I don't even feel it on the Gear

Hey,
I'm deaf and I find the limited way the vibrator is... annoying.
For example:
Alarm - Only rings a couple times at first, and that's all.
I have no idea how, but sometimes it won't vibrate at all when the sound is not turned off.
If there's a way I can put in different vibration lengths and patters (or strength?) it would be cool...
Somehow I feel like I'm expecting too much for a software/tweak to exist for that?
Sounds a bit spesific I think, but I'm sure you can find someone here to make it for you.
Shouldn't be any harder making this than it is to make the software that let's you use the LED as a super bright flashlight.
try vAlert?

Hi, does anyone know how to turn down the intensity of the HTC One's vibration on notifications?
When I have it on a desk, and I receive a WhatsApp message, it vibrates really loudly (even when it's not on a desk, the vibration is loud enough that people near me can hear)
Any help appreciated!
Hi,
I've bought new Sony Xperia Z1 a few days ago and overall it's a great device, but there is one issue, which is very annoying for me.
The vibration motor is very loud, but at the same time vibrations are just weak, so that when the ringtone is set on the lowest level, the motor is louder than this ringtone and when I keep the phone in my pocket I can hardly feel anything when it's vibrating.
In the keyboard I've set the shortest possible vibrating time, but it still makes more sound than vibrations.
The pitch of the sound is increasing with the duration of the motor working: eg. when I push home button for one time, the sound is quite low (but still loud), but when I press a few times in a row the sound gets higher and even more irritating.
Is it normal behavior for this smartphone? It's very annoying, because vibration should be discrete way to notify me about incoming calls or text messages. The fact that it is louder than a normal ringtone makes it useless.
Is it possible to fix it via software or is it a hardware issue and I should send the phone to the repair center (i'm afraid to do it, because they've destroyed my phone in the past).
I have the same problem, sometimes it works, but mostly it is making a scratching sound.
I've turned off the vibration when pressing the screen/keyboard, makes too much noise.
It is probably a hardware issue, i want to fix it by myself, because i don't trust the repair centers.

vibration very weak here: if in pocket or on any surface I can hardly feel it
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.
the vibration is a little noisy like a buzz, do you have this too?
Yes. And the vibration doesn't always work. Very disappointing. I'd say the vibration is broken on this phone, especially with typing. I've turned it off completely.
