I have an issue with my haptic feedback. Has been working fine since this morning, up until around the time when I installed the "Fast Web Installer" for Appbrain.
I notice that when I press the touch buttons the vibration seems to be very weak, as if the pulse of vibration is too short. If I increase the "Vibration Intensity" it feels fine when you are selecting the intensity (intensity slide bar), however, when you are finished selecting and press the buttons it is once again weak and short.
I have rebooted the phone a few times. Turned off the phone and removed battery then restarted. This still hasn't helped. Funny thing is the vibrations are fine when I'm choosing the "Vibration Intensity", and also it is fine when I get a call (as I have it set to vibrate phone for incoming calls.
Any ideas?
edit:
Possibly the vibrations aren't feeling as strong as once were. In the "Vibration Intensity"' menu, I can't really feel the vibrations for the last three settings, can only feel them on the upper three settings. However, I can hear the motor moving at the lower intensities if I listen closely. It's either lost it's vibration intensity or my hands are so cold I can't feel it as much.
edit2: seems to have fixed itself
My haptic feedback is always off since it's just a bettery waster

I'm getting the same issue, and also to top the icing on the cake, it makes a strange strange sound when I get haptic feedback/vibration and it's bugging me quite a bit... is it something to do with the drivers for it, since in the settings for intensities it seems fine ok?
i have the same problem...anyone can help please?
I noticed this earlier today. I was playing with the settings on my vibrant trying to optimize my battery life so I put down my haptic feedback level so when I push the soft keys the phone doesn't vibrate hard. But the next time I got a phone call the notification vibration was at the same level as the haptic feedback intensity and I couldn't feel it ring. Is this supposed to happen or is it a bug? Is there anyway I can leave my call vibration strong and the feedback weak?

I have also noticed this. not sure if it's normal or not however.
I believe this is a feature. I set it to maximum and turned of haptic feedback all together.

I swapped out my Epic for a new one today cuz the screen wobbled and I noticed that on the buttons, the home button causes the biggest vibration but the others only have minor ones.
Does anybody else experience this or is it just mine...
Haven't noticed this, what I *do* notice from time to time is that if the CPU is busy with something, or the software trigger for haptic feedback is having a fly in its soup or change of mood for any reason, I'll occasionally get a longer buzz than normal from time to time. This was *very* prevalent on Evo, but rare on the Epic.
Mm yea but I've tested this out. My back button's vibration is def less strong every time than my home button.
You're totally right... home button buzzes much stronger than the others... didn't notice when I last posted. Nice catch!

On closer observation, it seems to be controlled by the length of time that the vibration motor is run.

Yea thats what I noticed, it just spins longer when you press the home button.
Anybody else experience this?
yep had it happen on mine.
Home key & back key had weak haptic feedback
Hey anyone notice froyo's haptic feedback isnt as responsive as 2.1 rom?
Yes, and my phone`s vibration motor now makes strange noises when it vibrates for the haptics. Sounds kind of like it`s broken, so I turned it off. When I had JM1, it worked fine.
Same here. Vibration is more gentle, and indeed has some noise! Sometimes it even goes crazy, and vibrates like for a second or 2.
Not like I care..
Yeah I find that the haptic feedback in Froyo is a bit weird compared to Eclair.
My device now does occasional random vibrations when on standby, normally two short buzzes, then a few seconds later a single one.
Anyone get that or know what's causing it?

It does that when a program freezes or something. On standby, though, that's a bit weird.
I have same problem. I need stronger vibration for information when the called party answer the call.
This option is veryyyyy good by here is uselles.
HOW CHANGE THIS ?
The past few weeks I've been noticing that my DHD often vibrates at random times, when it should not do this at all.
It just vibrates (in stby mode), nothing else but I always think I'm getting a call or a text, which is pretty annoying.
Sometimes it vibrates just once, but also sometimes it vibrates 3 times, very fast and hard. Last night it even woke me up...
Anyone having the same issue?

Had this today when I bought it out of standby. Thought I had a text or email or something but there was nothing. Never noticed it happen when in standby though.
This happens regularly on mine too! its frustrating! you think you have a call or a message but you dont! :s
Its probably caused by your signal going from hspa (3.5g) to 3g to gprs

Isn't this called Blackberry syndrome? Imagining your phone vibrating, just so you can check it!
Seriously though, I dont have this on my DHD. It was present on my Hero though. I think its your phone getting lonely because your not using it.
If you press the volume rocker right in the middle it will vibrate 1 time and sometimes it will do 2 quick vibrates following the first one. This is probably not related to your case but it fits under the random vibration for other that might not know about it.
I noted you get a vibration when you signal goes out, and when it comes back again.
it does happen on mine too...
but i think i know the cause... its usually after using the volume buttons when it does it
but after installing CM, it doesnt do it anymore... i think its something to do with stock ROMS (mainly sense)
+1 more for that, i thought i was going mad when i first noticed it, but after reading this im feeling a bit more sane,
stock rom btw
Mine does it too. I'm using Custom Modaco Rom. When I go to unlock the phone it vibrated but not all the time. Never in my pocket though. I thought it was 3g watchdog playing up but other people getting it too so not that. It did it just now reading these posts hope it doesn't get worse.

Mine does this, but I know when it does it and why.
Usually it's either when unlocking the phone, or pressing the power button to lock it.
The reason why? It's because I have fat hands and accidentally press the volume down button when using the phone, causing it to go into vibration mode (which makes the phone vibrate once to let you know).
It's confusing, but entirely my own fault.
That's kinda diffirent from what I'm having. Mine does this without going into vibration mode or anything elsr for that matter. It just vibrates, even when locked and when the screen's off...
Just noticed that it does indeed have something to do with the volume buttons. Just lock your phone, press down both of the volume buttons, unlock it and then you will feel the 3 vibrations
I've noticed mine vibrates when launcher pro crashes, happens while i'm listening to music and try changing the volume sometimes, every time it happens the next time i unlock the phone launcher pro has to restart.
Although I have noticed it some times vibrates when I try to lock or unlock the phone and accidentally hit the volume buttons, not sure what happens there though.
EDIT: Just been trying to lock and hold one of the volume buttons, I've noticed it locks up for a second or two, so it's most likely something crashing I think.
Really sorry to bump a thead from a few weeks ago - but has anybody had any luck with resolving this?
This is the only thread I could find on the matter, and it's becoming a big annoyance for me. It's NOT when I go into vibration mode or anything, it can be anytime - even when the screen is off.

I just tried this and you're right - the three vibrations. Perhaps it's by design but I can't see why.
Anyway it's nice to know how to do it on purpose; mind you I used to get it all the time with my old cheap case, with my new case it's never done it "by itself". It seemed a bit odd but I assumed the case was "pressing" both volume buttons when on standby from time to time (makes sense).
I've noticed when i'm putting the phone in my pocket (or out), i tend to grab it on the top with the volume buttons. And yes, it does vibrate when i accidentally press them.
Try it yourself.
Regards, clumsy long fingered dude.
Mine used to do this as well. It would be sitting on the desk not touching anything, screen off and it's just idling doing nothing on stock sense rom, then it would just vibrate randomly a few times. It was a bit spooky and it kept doing it randomly :/
It has since stopped doing that, no real reason I can see why, I have flashed LeeDroid but it stopped randomly vibrating before that.
I'm on AR HD and it's still doing it.
I'm not too bothered, but a fix would be nice.
If I keep randomly pressing buttons on the phone, it will make random vibrations. Sometimes one, two or three. I don't have to press the power button, the phone screen can be turned off, and the phone doesn't go into silent/vibration mode either.
I just played about with the volume buttons now and I got a bit of lag on my phone, lasted for about 15 seconds then went away...
