Is there a way to make the vibrations stronger, when the phone is in the Vibrate mode?
I keep the phone in my shirt pocket and most of the times I miss the vibrate ring. Compared to my old HTC TD2, its as if the Focus doesnt vibrate at all.
Thank you in advance.

Really?? I found the Focus to have one of the best vibrate functions I've used. Weird. Mine has great vibrate. Much better than my HD7.

hello all
when i have the phone in my pocket i can never feel it vibrate. is there ANY way to make it a bit more powerful? me and my friend both have the same problem.
it means that at work im having to leave it on ring and its inappropriate.
thanks in advance
I believe the vibration occurs in the battery itself and not the phone.
You could try experimenting with something metal (like a thin washer) between the battery and the cover ?
No, the battery doesn't vibrate. The vibrator is built in the phone and it has its strength which cannot be changed, in my opinion. It's a simple electromechanical vibrating device, and the vibrating strenght is limited to the mechnical built.
But i wonder, because I would consider the vibrating as the best I ever had.

i know what u mean, all my old phones had a really strong vibrate but the x1 seems a bit weak, if im moving with it in my pocket i wont feel it
The vibrate is nothing more that a motor with a weight on the end. I think the only way to up it would be to increase the voltage to the motor, which isn't going to be an easy task.

Then it would vibrate faster, but not stronger. It could only vibrate stronger, if the mass or the distance to the pivot would be increased which is a mechanical problem.
What about slowing it down...this could be more noticeable than a vibration at a higher frequencie.

But this isn't how a motor works. It needs an amount of currency to get over the starting torque and therefore the rotary speed is fixed. If you cut the currency, the motor will not start.
As long as you can't change the motor you can't change how it vibrates.
Weak Vibrate
I have my phone on vibrate at work all the time.
I have the same problem and I've missed appointments, meetings, texts and emails because of this!
I decided to get myself a bluetooth watch to overcome this problem (topic below).

Is it possible to decrease the vibration when someone calls or new sms is received?
I would like to have vibration for case I don't hear it, but default power is too much for my taste, it is like an earthquake if the phone is on the table made of glass

I don't think it's possible to change the actual vibrate settings. I've asked a few times on here and no-one seems to be able to help. It is an annoying feature of the phone
It is ok when vibrate reminds me...but not in such power...

Wow actually its a advantage for me.... i actaully it takes powerful vibrator to wake up monoster like me
Hi all!
This is my first post, but I've been reading the forums for a long time and I'm happy to be able to help.
I have noticed that the vibration time is linked to the lenght of the played sound. If you have a long tune for the SMS then the phone will vibrate for a longer period of time. If you have a very short "blip" then it will vibrate one or two seconds...
I hope this helps you!
Hi !
Is it possible to decrease the vibration when someone calls or new sms is received?
Because the original vibration is much too noisy for me! I'm student and when I'm in class and the phone vibrate, everybody's hearing it !!
It's louder than the ring set on 3...
Is there any possibility ?
Thanks
I'd also be interseted to hear about this. It's the loudest vibrating i've heard from a phone!
It's like an earthquake when the phone is on the glass table
+1 I too would be interested in this.
or maybe just a shorter vibrate would be better too. I have a low volume tone for SMS when at work, but have had to turn vibrate off altogether as this was louder that my message tone!
If it can’t be decreased, then a shorter vibrate time would be a start
me2 !! will save battery power lol
Look at this, it function on call and email, not on SMS (yet).

Thanks for this info !
I'll have a look into it.
Any other idea ?
i have my hd2 set up seaprate for sistem volum (10%) and ringer volume (100%) ... works fine, but the SMS volume is low, as the sistem volume
is there a way to fix this? like ringer AND sms = ringer volume???
thanks
UP please !
UP ? please !
upping it every so often probably isn't going to solve your issue
I think vibration strength is set by the amount of power given to the vibrator, so you should virtually reduce the current going to the motor, but probably that's not something easy to do... also, I don't need the vibration pattern utility, but I think you could set it so it has very short burts of vibration, that way it wouldn't be as noisy
I believe there is an app for vibration pattern on freewarepocketpc.
Thanks very much for your answers.
Seems that there is no other possibility that vibration pattern.
Cheers

Vibro in the omarket... Or online on pccpocketfreeware...
Most of the time when this phone is in my pocket I have it set on vibrate. Trouble is whenever I get an sms i can never feel it vibrate, the vibration is so faint...On other phones such as the iphone you can easily feel the phone vibrate in your pocket.
Anyway just wondering is there a way to make it so its a stronger/longer vibration when i receive a text message?
thanks

There is currently no way to do this. I think it is a hardware limitation. I agree though. The vibration on this model is horrible.

is there a way to make it vibrate for longer? cos i can usually feel it vibrating if i get a call, but not a sms
Hi,
Do you feel the same as I, so the vibration in Galaxy S8 is too weak?
Is it a known issue? Is there any way to make it stronger?
I don't have any case, and the vibration is on max, and I have already played with the vibration patterns.
Thanks.
Is someone here has a similar problem?
If the phone is on something soft for example or in my pocket, I hardly ever feel it.
It's not weak. Have you turned up the vibration in setting.
I can even hear my phone vibrate when my friend is typing on it, and i'm like 1-2 meter away from it.

Of course it turned on. All are on max.
Only when it's on a hard surface I can feel/hear it.
Maybe I missing something or other setting, or there is actually a real problem?
I wouldn't call i weak , however my htc 10 was way better for vibration! It was almost too strong ha The s8 is weaker but not weak! My only issue with vibrate is that once you disable vibrate.... its disabled for ALL sound modes! So lets say i turn off vibrate but later i attend a meeting and i want to put my phone on silent but i want my phone to vibrate.... it wont and theres no way to adjust it for each different sound mode! In fact even if i select the sound mode "vibrate" it wont vibrate once you turn vibrate down/off then its off universally! This sucks as with EVERY phone i have ever owned it was always something you could adjust for each individual sound mode/profile!
But if the phone is placed on some papers you don't notice that something happened.
It wasn't like that with the previous devices.

I TOTALLY agree - vibration is WAY TOO WEAK. Rarely feel it when phone is in my pocket and the only time I do hear it is if it is on a hard surface. I wish there was a way to download an outside vibration. I hope someone can answer this.
I dont want to know what yall are doing with your phones ?️?️?️?️

I opened this issue when the phone was new, and the situation is pretty the same today.
As I said for notification that using vibration you almost don't notice it, only when there is a phone call, and also it's too weak. Only on hard surface you can notice it.
