Does anybody know a way to increase the strenght of vibration during calls or notifications? I usually use my phones in only vibrating mode, but with the z1s vibration strenght is so low for me that it is very hard to notice it. I cannot find it in the settings, so does anybody know where this setting is hidden, and if it doesnt exists, does anybody know another way to increase it other way?
Thanks in advance!

same question here: i find vibration not to be strong enough
Yeah.
Some custom ROMs can do this..
Or you can use the app "Vibration Config" from Play Store (need root)
(Sorry, I can't post links :'D)

On some phones (like Nexus 5) is likely there is an issue with the vibration motor..
Which phone has this problem?

Just flashed Serendipity, so far I like it. I do have one quick question tho:
Is it possible to have my phone set up to vibrate when I receive Texts/Phonecalls with this ROM?
I've tried everything that I can think of in the settings menu and haven't had any luck yet. And I searched the Serendipity ROM thread but didn't find anything specifically talking about this.

Go to Settings->Sound and set Vibrate to always, but I don't know that that works for SMS, you may have to set that manually, so go into the SMS app, then go menu->settings there, then go to notification settings and set vibrate to always in there as well.
In the sound settings, gor for the last option. It's disabled, so choose the option above it, turn it on, set the vibrate strenght and turn off the above one, it will save the options and vibration strength.
Attempted both of those:
I have my vibration intensity turned up to the maximum level and still have absolutely no vibration whatsoever.
Does anyone know of a vibration fix or anything for the Captivate that might alleviate this issue?
Try this: go into the SMS app>Settings>Notification Settings>Vibrate Pattern
You can set it to Normal/Medium/Long/Multiple Short/Multiple Long.
That should work for you!

I believe you are talking about the "Haptic Feedback", right? If so, then I don't think this effects incoming notifications. That is only for the vibration per screen touch...
Tried what you mentioned seth and still have no luck.
I have no haptic feedback and have no vibration when receiving a phonecall or text message.
I attached some screen captures I took showing that I have the proper boxes checked.
I have no vibration whatsoever however. I receive no haptic feedback when I hit my home soft key and I receive no vibration when I receive a text/phone call.
I'm kind of at a loss for what to do because I haven't seen any other threads about similar issues around the forum. Any ideas?
edit: oh, BTW, I flashed back to stock and then flashed Phoenix ROM thinking maybe I had a bad flash with the flashing of the Serendipity ROM but the problem persists.
Does it work on stock?

Hmm. Well that sucks.
The loss of my haptic and vibration is really the only thing not working exactly like I want it to so I guess I'll just do without unless something else begins to act up.
Thanks for the input tho.

Happened on my iPhone before I got my Captivate. Got so used to it, I disable all vibrating/haptic on every rom anyway.
Most of the time if you are having trouble with vibration settings, download the "Sound Manager" app from the Market. It can fix a lot of notification problems.

Hi everyone
Re-posting this from the general section (posted on there by mistake, was still half asleep lol, sorry)
Just got the xperia z yesterday (after my previous lg 4x was stolen... grrr... may the thief get permanent bursting hemorroids...) and I noticed a weird thing.
The mute/vibrate/sound toggle in the notification bar does not seem to work, and the same goes for the one in the popup shown by pressing the power button for a couple seconds.
Details: the mute or vibrate icon appears on the notification bar, but if I check the volumes in settings, they're still all on, and if I receive a call or get a notification or whatever, the phone actually rings despite the supposedly muted state.
All this doesn't happen if I "manually" turn the volume off with the volume buttons or via settings: in that case the vibrate icon appears and the phone actually does not ring.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
All good here dude. Hope you get it fixed. Have you tried turning phone off and on again? That usualy fixes small.glitches.

Yep, already tried that of course, as well as uninstalling the one widget I have that interacts with volumes, just to be sure it was not some weird conflict (and of course it wasn't)
Not a biggie actually, as I can turn it down manually or by said widget, but I hope I'll figure it out anyway if only for the sake of understanding the source of the issue
Yep I understand that. Annoys me when I cant get something working lile its ment to.

I have a problem with the toggle in the notification bar and the power off menu. System settings show me notifications and ringtones are off, but the phone still has audible, unmuted notification sounds. Really annoying.

Heard about it, but haven't read the whole thing yet (yep, still being lazy)
Jokes apart, I was planning to leave it 100% stock for at least a little while to see how the battery behaves without even the slightest piece of modding (got the phone only last friday, today has been the first real "field test" for the battery and so far I'm pretty positively impressed)
Well I have already removes/frozen a bucketload of apps happy bunny, I am. Now I only need to figure out which app does what so I don't kill something and make my phone less usable.

lol I removed a few apps too, but luckily for me they were uninstallable without root or anything.
I also disabled a few more through the stock apps management, for the time being it's sufficient for my taste

Yes, having the same problem as well with mine. But it has been the same problem since I had ICS on my Xperia Arc S, then Xperia V and now this when I use the toggle in the notification bar or any other toggle aside from toggling it manually via setting. Very irritating since it has never and probably will never be fixed due to the fact that it's a cross-model issue. Chances are, those who say they don't have this problem already has it but don't know it yet or will get it eventually. Sony needs to iron this out once and for all
Hello,
I am unable to set a custom alarm tone. I tried putting the ogg file in alarms and notifications, but just no luck.
Also the button backlights just don't seem to turn on.

Very stable, could be new FW forces higher voltage to WiFi unit, even the range is slightly extended. I noticed it because I get better signal in bathroom
@alray No keyboards support my language, so having swype or something like that is useless. But I will try with others, just for the sake of vibro

You are not forced to use the swipe functionally if you don't want, even if using swiftkey. You can change the vibration in swiftkey to what you like.

There is one thing you can try if your device is rooted. Not sure if it will work but if you go to play store and download keyboard backlight controller by deskangel, and then open it and tap lock on backlight it might work.

It works, but the buttons remain lit even after you turn the screen off.
Make sure "only when screen on" is enabled. I cant test it because I don't want root anymore
Hi,
I've got my Xperia z1 c6903 for around 2.5 year and it is understandable that some commitments can be (half)broken like my 3.5 jack port...
What is wrong with it?
No matter what ROM I'm using stock custom or cm based, I have randomly activated some headset controls:
Google now launches,
Volume is going up or down,
Music is paused....
And all of that is happening even if I don't have headset with control buttons or microphone!
I'm wondering if there is any way to to completely disable headset controls somewhere in buildprop or deeper in system or by Xposed module or via some magic app....
Could someone help? It might help other users too
Thanks in advance

Sir, when i plug in my headset, it displays the error *Headset not supported. Use another headset or visit the Sony Mobile support site for more information.*
Although i have been using the same headset for a year or two . This just happend last night. And i have not downloaded anything. It just happend randomly. My question is, flashing this file can repair the problem?

Try

You can also make a backup in recovery and flash headphone fix if the above solution didn't work.

If you use sony companion, will i lose my root and all the settings that i have done with xposed?
Lemme try the second method though.
Everything is in the title, is it possible to prevent access to the notification panel when the P10 is locked. I had an option like that on my last Xiaomi, but I can not find it on the huawei. Thank you in advance.
sorry, maybe dump question, why would someone need that?
I use this app called Smart Lockscreen Protector. It allows you present access to the notifications and power off screen while the phone is locked. You're going to have to install the apk because it's not apparently compatible with the P10 but it works fine on mine

yes I'm afraid lol. Are you serious ? What are these questions ??
I am serious. I try to understand why do someone need that.
I personally like it, because i can activate bluetooth (when i go to my car), or NFC (when i use Android pay or get BT connection) without even unlocking the device.
In reality, it's mostly the fact of having lost that option and habit that I had on my xiaomi. Knowing that someone can access these options annoys me, without scare me lol. I have become so used to unlocking my phone (which is very fast on the P10) that I do not find it interesting to have access to this status bar from the lock screen. Nevertheless, I understand that you may need this access. I hope that answers your question.
