Anyone else find the vibration horribly weak?

I havent actually taken my phone out of the house yet, so I dont have any actual experience with the vibration (having it in my pocket and seeing if i feel anything). But wow, it seems really weak to me.
Usually I can hear my phone vibrate against the table when im at home, but I cant hear anything from the X1 at all.
Do you guys frequently miss texts and calls because of the weak vibration? or is it actually decent and im just crazy?
nope vibration strong.

I find it pretty weak also..along with the horrible speaker position, I too miss texts and calls.
If it wasn't for the vibration i'd be screwed. The ringtones are so low compared to videos/games. I don't understand what's wrong with the ringtones! I'm playing an mp3 and it sounds like 5 times lower volume then when I play it in a media player...what gives?
Is the volume of your ringtone loud? Tend to find most custom ringtones don't have enough amplification.

I bump the volume up of my tones in Audacity
Well, bouth the vibration and speaker is as bad as the w880i. All ringtones that use anything but treble is crap. The vibration is better with pulse vibration. So i use Valert that i found here at xda.

Does it change the SMS vibration as well as the incoming call vibration? I just want the SMS really, I don't mind my calls going to voicemail.
hmm I'm just using a regular mp3, but the thing is if I play it through coreplayer or the media panel it sounds a lot louder then when I have it set to a ringtone. Should I really have to increase the volume of a regular mp3? It's just going to distort it. I think it's mostly the speaker placement as it is easily covered.

I download valert and installed it to my phone. however, i can't find the program in the program list of the phone. Can you tell me how to execute this program or least where do i find/run the program from ?
On first install it puts the EXE in the Autostart folder, you can find it here, but it should be running automatically on every boot.
Weak?
Damn, when my X1 rings I feel like I just bought one of those machines you stand on and it vibrates your whole body for exercise.
The loudness depends on file.
I have one which is TERRIBLY loud.

I frequently don't hear my phone ring or SMS notifications. What can I do?

I just find that the ringer is often not loud enough for me. Maybe it's my ripe old age of 32 that has brought me to this point of degraded ability but if I leave my phone downstairs or vice versa, I usually won't hear it ring. Worse is the one time sound notification, that's rather short in my opinion, for SMS's. Both of these are even worse if I forgot to remove my phone from the protective sleeve.
I searched and only found people having issue with the volume in relation to calls but no mention if I could increase ringer volume above what is currently selectable. Is there any way to increase this volume and/or extend the ring time for the text notifications?
http://www.wirelessinfo.com/content/T-Mobile-G1-Cell-Phone-Review/MakingReceiving-Calls.htm
According to that website, they tested the G1 ringer volume and found it to have the lowest dB of all the phones they tested.
Is it that speaker is underpowered? Is it possible that we may be able to re-encode the ring tones with a higher volume to help compensate?
I don't think it has a low volume... I think it has to do with what you are using because it is just as loud as my Wing when playing music.
What I'm using? As in which ring tone? I've tested several different ones and they all seemed the same to me. Do you have any suggestions?
I have the same problem frequently, it isnt that you dont hear the rings or notifications, they actually dont play at all. I have had this happen with my phone on in front of mewith a great signal, and I call it from another line. It "rings"(but never does), finally ending in a voicemail. When I hang up and check the G1 it shows a missed call and voicemail.
Unfortunately there is no fix, just a reminder that you bought a phone that shouldnt be expected to work until the system is given time to mature. Until then, you either return the phone, sell it, or live with its limitations. (or so I have been told)
No, I have that happen too, but I do frequently have it ring just not loud enough for me to hear it. I know because my girlfriend often has to tell me when it's ringing if I've left it in another part of the house.
I have also noticed that the ring volume isnt great with the standard wring tones. Using mp3 ringtones is better.
Notifications do sometimes seem buggy. I have had no notifactions with messages when i have had the message application open. Not even vibrate.
I have missed calls installed now for notifications and it seems to not happen anymore.
Theres also a program out in the market that allows you to create your own ringtones from full songs. You could just cut a song into a small section and use that for messaging.
Its called ringdroid

The down-side to this feature of the program is, the notification light will stop. If you check your missed calls, texts, so on from the bar on top.
You have to actually open the "programs" manually to keep the notification light working.
Ex. if you get a missed call, instead of pulling down the notification bar to check. Press the call button once.
if you get a text, open the messeging inbox using the messeging button or SMSChomp button.
Try to limit how often you have to pull the notification bar down.
Pulling the notification bar DISABLES ALL notifications of all kind.

ring delay before ring tones: grrrrrrrr

Hi !
Has somebody found some solution to reduce the delay for the ringtones for blackstone ?
I've installed the second cab here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109) as well as write in the registery (av0pw0r), but i can't reduce the delay under (almost) 2 ring tones, eventough i use a *.wma file.
I've also tried to play on HD tweak (1.7 option), but this does not change anything...
This is very annoying me, i've already lost some calls.
I haven"t tried yet a cooked ROM, but i wonder if this would change something
Please help
make sure the ringtone is on the phone and not card. That helped me a lot.
tks for your answer.
But well, i use (for the moment) the "Alarm-Classic.wav" under windows\rings, so i think it's ok from this side
How much delay do u have ?
hi.
using wma ringtones I get a response on my HD in about 1 ring after a soft reset. From the second call on the HD rings at about half a ring to the caller.
three rings from to wake from soft off.
but i forgot to say that if the phone is already "on", the delay is about 1/2 half ringtone, which is acceptable ! .
It seems that the additionnal delay (about 1 sec.) comes from the phone to go from "standby" to "on"
I've always had a delay with every HTC I've had (C500, C600. E650, Touch HD) using standard and custom ROMs with ringtones as WAV's and MP3's on the device and the storage card. I got used to it ages ago and if the phones on my desk can now predict an incoming call before it rings
Hi,
I was also searching for a solution on the ring tone delay issue. Guess that is a winmobile thing.
However there is no delay if you switch off the ring-tone and enable vibration mode only. That is weired behavior of the phone cause why cannot the ring-tone sound as fast as the vibration comes in vibmode only? And why does the vibration comes as late as the ring-tone when in combi-mode?
I am afraid there is no solution so far...
Regs!
this delay is something you'll have to learn to live with, unfortunately. at least in europe people seem to be finding loud and/or dodgy ringtones not very nice, and when dealing with the wiindows mobile vibrate mode is the one to go for.
another suggestion is to set up a caller tune, people are more likely to wait longer when they're listening to music.
ive found i can get it to ring at 1 ring if i turn off caller id pictures on s2u2
Yeah, the operating system does all the checks and clearing up before handling the call to prevent dropping, the way WM handles things, you can't get way from the delay, slowing the CPU with app like a nuedynamicclock worsens it. Well I notice a call before it rings if it is on

All my wm devices have had this issue. My blackstone lights up from sleep a good 2 to 3 sec. before the first ring. I use the old phone ring tone and have four fairly well spaced rings before vm kicks in. I just count the rings as I get to the phone and it has become a non issue. The hd tweek for it seemed not to have an effect btw. Also I'm with t-mo usa and using their code I have my ringtime set to max rings. which is 30 sec. before vm.

Ringtone Volume issue - 2% and still 'LOUD'

Hi all,
This is an issue which has been semi bugging me since getting my Touch HD a few months ago.
If I use Touchflo and go into settings for the ring volume, I put the slider right down to '2%'. When a call comes in, it's still very loud indeed.
I've tested so that if I put the volume up to say 80% and call in again, its VERY very loud!
I want it that I can leave my ringer on say 5% or 10% when I'm working so that I can hear the ring tone but not disturb other's who maybe close by.
Also, upon testing, if I change the ring tone type, then when it 'preview plays' the ringtone its nice and quiet, kind of at the level I'd like it to ring. However, when then selecting the ringtone and clicking done, I test with an incoming call and it's much louder.
Am I missing something here? I've never had this issue with any of my previous Xda's/HTC phones.
I had a look in search but nothing seems to show up like this from other posters - could my handset be faulty?
Or, do I need to buy some software which controls this better and offers more profiles than just the 4 standard ones?
Any ideas out there please?!
Cheers! Dennis, West London UK!
I think the volume setting goes by an incremental of 20%. Yeah, at the lowest 20%, it is still quite loud. The default Innovation ring is excessive loud. You can try another one which is not as disturbing at 20% setting
Hi there,
Thanks for the response!
Yes, I had the 'innovation' ringtone set and have now changed it to generic 3 which is 'better' !
Is there any software out there specifically for ringtone generation? maybe I could create ringtones and record them at a 'lower recording level' to acheive a 'low' sounding ringtone on the THD without this 'limitation' I pointed out/experience?
having done a search, I can't quite beleive I'm the only one who seems to have noticed this!
Might have to find those 'funny' ringtones - the Brad Pitt Snatch dialogue " why the **** would i wanna caravan with no ****ing wheels' being my favourite !
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!
Your not the only one who has this problem. There is a other thread about the music player and the volume there, but the whole TF3D volume is just way too high . Annoys me aswell

Ringtone Volume???

I have been thinking of getting the Hero for a while now, I have read so many reviews and am very impressed but I can not find the one thing that is quite important to me as I am out and about quite a lot, it is the ring volume, how loud is it? can you hear it OK in the traffic as I am out and about most days and I need to be able to hear it, I know this may be a little thing to some people but is quite an important thing to me....
I keep it on max vol all the time. It definitely could be a lot louder. Hear it in traffic? No way.
Note: this is on the CDMA Hero
The vibrate function on my phone stopped working, so I had it on full volume to make sure I got a call while I was out with some buddies at a bar.
The phone was in my front pants pocket on full volume, and I couldn't hear it ring. The bar was fairly loud, but not like concert or dance-club loud.
