Hello,
is it possible to change the vibration strength?
In my opinion the vibration is too much, it is hearable for my working collegues.
Maybe if I root the smartwatch? Or exist an app for this 'problem?'
I would like to have an app where I can customize the motor from for example 80% to 40% or something like that.
If there is no solution, I think I have to sell the smartwatch and buy another model - like Fossil Q.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Here is exactly what you need.
At the play store there is a app called "feel the wear" it has a lot of
settings and options for vibration strength and pattern.
It also has a built-in notify features which optionally can add audio
to the notification vibrations and much more.
It's really a must have tool.
Check it out, here is the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.martinflorek.wear.feelthewear
Good luck, have a great day!
Thank you. I've already found this app but where is the option to set the strength of the vibration?
I've would like to reduce the strength of the vibration because it is too heavy and too loud.
It would be nice, if the strength is at 50% instead of 100%.
Do you know what I mean?

Swipe the screen to the right side as far as you can in the phone,
All those options are located on the left side of the phone's screen,
it displays all the apps in your phone and each one you want to
communicate with the watch has it's own vibration and sound
settings including pattern, duration strength volume controls
which can be different for each app you want the watch to
communicate with when there is a notification.
You can also set it up for "Global" which makes all the notifications
the same.
Good luck, have a great day!
Is it necessary to buy the App, to use these features?
In my free version I could not find the option to change the vibration strength.
The only option which I can see is the pattern 'Short, Very Shot, Long, 2 x Long' and so on.

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?
I recently flashed ElementalX 5.2 to my One, and ever since I flashed it, I could swear that the vibration has been weaker. Whenever I'm pressing the capacitive buttons, typing on the keyboard, or really doing anything, the vibration feedback seems a lot weaker than before. Is there a way to get it back to default, or generally increase it? Thanks in advance!

Download faux123 from the play store. You can change the vibration intensity. I personally hate the vibrate motor on this phone, its waaaay too loud for me.

No, you dont need to be running his kernel to use it.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for! Also, I see what you mean. Sometimes, when I'm in class, and I get a text, even with the sound off, it feels awkward because just the vibration alone is so loud. But frankly, having the vibration this low annoyed me a lot more than that, so I'll deal with it. Thanks again.

No problem. Actually, the Google edition rom has the perfect vibration intensity. Its strong enough to feel, but not too loud. HTC should really use that.
I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this:
Initial volume for ringtones, alarms, and notifications is very low and with sufficient repetition will eventually achieve its set volume.
This doesn't appear to be the case with music, video or any other 'in app' volume, which is working as expected.
Thanks for any responses.
Should be a setting for the volume to start low, then increase or disable that feature.
Hope they didn't take it out with lollipop.
Mine is like that too and I haven't found any settings to change it. Maybe it has something to do with the two speakers and its a safety feature.
Yep, appears to be a safety implementation. Still want to disable it. To the internet!

I am having this problem as well. I am surprised more people have not reported it.
This was driving me crazy. So I am not alone
Just got the Note9 after have the 8. Nasty surprise when I found out it is almost impossible to hear notification sounds on this phone due to streaming through only the bttome speaker while all other audio is through both. Samsung states its a "limitation of the device".... So that.
Anyone know of an app or other method that would allow me to set the notificatio sounds to stream as rigntone or media to get them in stereo? I tried Lightflow and setting the sound through there as a full ring tone, but it still streams the audio as a notification through the bottom speaker only.
Bump
It's lower than the note 8 I think.

It's definitely lower than the Note 8. Not sure why only the notifications play through one speaker and all others are through both. An app or work around would be incredible.
Hey guys, having the same issue here. I am using an app called Volume Booster Goodev. No root needed. Just set the volume to go up by 10% and you should be fine. I know I am, cause I missed my notifs before... Good Luck!

I noticed the low volume when playing podcasts. I downloaded the app you recommended, and now I'm happy! With the 10% increase there is no distortion, only loud clean sound. Thanks

Try rebooting your phone.
Happy to help! The only thing they recommend is not to go over 40% increase. But 10% is enough anyway

Great recommendation bro thank you.
Just enough to make in-call and notification volumes good. Thanks. (note 9)

Not as straight forward, but if you have used it, Tasker will play the sound through as stereo once set up. Works really well :good:
You re welcome, glad I could help
Hi. Does it also rise the in call volume?
I don't feel like it helps...my calls sound is low
But still it is not activating the upper speaker.
I see this post is quite old. But, wanted to report Volume Booster GOODEV solved *my* problem as well. Thank you *so much* for posting this solution! btw, had to use a tor browser to post this reply (XDA's server won't allow me to register a user *and* post from the same IP in a short period of time??) lol
Hi
I have noticed that the haptic feedback is extremely weak, to the point where I started to miss my calls.
There isn't any setting that increases the intensity.
Is there some magisk module or something that fixes this issue?
Have you come across this problem?
Thanks.
P.S. I'm on ArrowsOS 12.1 vanilla.
Yes really weak. there is a setting but even when put on max its very weak

Can you tell me the name of the setting?
Sound and vibration - haptic feedback level

Haptic feedback isn't the same as incoming call vibration. Which you want to change?

If the strength is already at max level, then its pathetic! I would take strong haptics over 120 hz screen any day of the week.

Maybe get rid of ur Rom when its this limited everywhere?! Derpfest has so many settings, options, and and and that i didnt had the time to study everything it offers. Simple too much...
I guess the haptics are modifiable and strong in derpfest?
Yes and yes.
Hi All,
I am also having this issue with weak haptic feedback.
in the sounds and vibration settings level for haptic feedback is full(highest level) but pressing the back button / taking screenshot / keep pressing volume button + to the max to engage the feedback / pressing the onscreen home button to engage haptic / etc all feels weak like level it is stuck a level one.
I turned off the haptic feedback option in settings / restart my phone still the same
NOW, BUT, i am using a MS Swiftkey keyboard. When i went to the settings of the Swiftkey keyboard and set the option to use it's own settings for the haptic feedback - set it at low to med settings for the haptic feedback feels strong (or the one im used too.)
im using Poco F2 Pro with MIUI 14.0.1.0 Global Stable (SJKMIXM) with Android 12 SKQ1.211006.001
i tried also the factory test (where you input those magic code - im using hidden settings app) to test the vibration (hardware) on my phone and works fine.
to sum up:
- the "android" haptic feedback that is located in settings > sounds and vibration is not working (feels like it is stuck at level 1 even though it is on highest level)
- MS Swiftkey Keyboard haptic feedback works fine and have no issue typing with haptic on feels strong
- factory test the vibrator (using magic hidden settings app) vibrator works fine feels strong.
???ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX W/O DOING FACTORY RESET???
???COULD THIS BE THE THEMES I APPLIED USING THE XIAOMI THEME APP???(MIGHT BE POSSIBLE MIGHT NOT BE THE ROOT CAUSE AS THERE ARE THEMES NOT COMPATIBLE ANYMORE WITH MIUI 14.)
attached screenshot - 1.jpg is the haptic for Android - not working / feels weak / looks like stuck at level 1
attached screenshot - 2.jpg is the MS Swiftkey haptic feedback settings and works fine on the keyboard typing / feels strong
You are right. swiftkey vibration is stronger so the real vibration isn't so weak.
I think that it is kernel problem and we are unable to change vibration density with stock kernel with app's like kernel auditor and i didn't find any magisk module for that.
Also i don't know if changing kernel will be a problem with my touchscreen drivers
my phone is giving weak haptics since the previous miui version. however the strength seems to change time to time automatically. maybe its a weird miui implementation to slow down wear and tear of the vibration actuator.
