On the some of the other phones I've owned you were able to modify the way the phone vibrated when in silent mode. There were options that could set it to pulse and change the duration and increase the vibration strength.
I was curious if this was something one of the developers could possibly bake in to a future rom or if anyone knew any apps that did it.
There are apps thatll do that

Really? You got my interest. You care to name one that'll do any of what the op said? I am personally interested in increasing the vibrate strength to something a bit more less pansy like.
Hell, my pager from the late 80's had more a vibrate than this thing does. I can set the phone on top of my hand whilst I am on my laptop and if it weren't for handcent lighting up the screen i'd have never known I got a text message while on silent/vibrate. It's weaker than a ladybug fart.
Smart vibrator for one ,its free im sure there are others havent really looked

You can customize how long short or strong it vibrates for both calls and other notifications

How about a program that causes the Epic to vibrate stronger than its default maximum? I think that's what op was asking. I have the same question since my intensity decreased after the update. Can we mess with the "settings"?

Just curious how many of you use this feature.
Waste of battery IMO..
yes for keyboard and home key.
i used to hate this feature on those cheapo samsung phones of yesterday but i started using it because it felt better to type with...at least
It annoys me.
I use and love it. Lets me know I hit all my letters when typing.

I always had a fear of all that buzzing having a negative effect on the motor eventually causing it to break ,
so i just dont use it
Nope. I turned it off to save battery.

Definitely a waste of battery, the sound feedback is enough
My friend has haptic feedback enabled on his Moto Droid. Annoying as hell for ME as you can hear him type and push keys. Haha.
I love it. It simulates a kind of tactile feedback that is otherwise missing.

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out an issue one of my family members is having with their epic. She does have vibrate turned on for her messaging, so that it vibrates when a text comes in. However, it is so soft that you can barely feel it. I know that on mine it is very strong. I can not find any place to strengthen it other than in the spot where you adjust it for the haptic feedback. We do have it maxed in that spot. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
The strength of the vibrate also depends on the OS
I believe the one with the strongest haptic feedback is eclair
Samsung reduced it for the others
I suggest you bring that other epic to whatever rom your using
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Both are running stock froyo, neither have ever been rooted or modded in any way. No reason I can tell that should cause the 2 different vibrate types.
Go to sprint store and say that your epic vibrator is broken

I know A LOT of people know this.. you can slide your finger accross the notification bar to set the screen brightness when auto brightness is turned off.
Well something I found out today.. you don't slide at all.. you can.. but you just got to pick a spot on the notification bar and long press. So you want it at 50%, long press in the middle.
This is a lot better too... more sensitive.

I knew both!
Anyone else know about this? Was wondering why my brightness was changing when holding the phone to my ear....
I was initially thinking it was a proximeter sensor, but nope. Its a slider built into the notification bar. Press and hold at the left of the bar and while keeping your finger held to the bar, move to the right. And ofcourse left to turn it down.
Not really crazy about this feature really. Wish I could disable it.

Mine has never worked, so I wasn't really sure what the process was. Still doesn't, but this was more detailed than "swipe on the bar"

Doesn't work if you have auto brightness enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
can save some battery by turning auto brightness off and use the slider to adjust the brightness.
I dig it too. It saves time & frustration when you're out in the sun, step into a building & are all blinded by the sunlight, to the point where you can't navigate through menus. Just hold the notification, sliiiide & bam.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a TouchWiz thing? Or possibly Samsung? My wife has a lower-end Samsung (don't remember, but it's one of the Virgin Mobile ones), and it doesn't have this feature.
When you hold your phone close to your ear while in a phone call, the proximity sensor turns the screen off, so your ear touching the screen would not be changing the brightness. If auto brightness is enabled, it's really touchy and will change brightness rather quickly.
It works without sliding all you have to do is hold it on the left and it dims and if you hold it on the right it brightens

+1. Auto-brightness is also a battery killer. Learn to embrace the slide feature.
How do you enable it in CM7? I thought this was touch wiz. I miss the feature when running the
AOSP ROMs.

If you hold it from the corners it only maxes the brightness or lowers the brightness to the lowest setting. When sliding you can control how bright you want your screen.

Hey all,
I took the largest smartphone in the world (Galaxy Note of course) and paired it with an Arduino and my alarm clock app to create the loudest alarm clock in the world ... so loud we couldn't turn it on inside for fear of hearing damage.
Heavy traffic 90db
Chainsaw 100db
Rock concert 120db
Jet airplane 140db
This alarm clock 145db!!
Check out a funny video we made of it:
WOW!!! THATS CRAZY!!!

I would be careful if I were you.
According to most studies, a noise of 140db + will do some permanent damage to your ear, even if only heard for a very short period of time.

I could definately use that the morning after a boozy night out! :cyclops:

iPhone alarms DO NOT wake me up. I'll sleep right through them.
Interestingly enough, I complained on the Apple feedback page about their alarm sounds being absolutely horrible.

Well 140db+ at 20hz won't ever make you go deaf. It also depends on frequency not just db
