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).

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the volume of the vibration on this phone. It seems to be different for SMS and actual phone calls, but I couldn't find the registry entry where this is set. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
what are you saying you want the vibration to be stronger or you want the buzzing sound from the vibrator to be louder?

Hi mccannmarc,
Thanks for responding. if there is a way to increase both or either I would greatly appreciate it. I work in a loud environment and its a little hard to hear or feel the vibration and the buzz. If I could increase it via, say, a registry setting that would be great. I just don't know where to start looking.
I hate the buzzing .. it didn't do that first .. now it does.
the buzzzing is because the case isn't screwd on firmly enough I think.
There isnt really a way of doing it that wouldnt involve a hardware mod to my knowledge, you could use a bigger FET to increase the strength of the vibrator if you were willing to mod the hardware. With regards to making the sound louder you could always take advantage of the flaw dekoning raised, just loosen up the screws on your phone a bit!!
Sorry I cant be of any more help, I've trawled through the registry and cant find a single value related to the strength of the vibrator motor.
Hmmm.. well i'm guessing it's a bit far-fetched.. but is there anything here does helps with the speakers of the X1.. at times, i cant even hear the ring..
I'm new in WinMo and after reading at these threads, i'm juz trying my luck to see whether there's anything that can be done..
Thanks a lot guyz...
Generally, I have no problems with the speaker at all. Only when it's covered, the sound diminishes really fast. Is your speaker by any chance covered? For instance when in your pocket. All you can do is increase your volume with the side buttons, and set it to vibrate + ring.
It's not really covered but it is on my pocket.. and the thing is i work in quite a noisy environment.. so it is a bit hard to hear it sometimes..
yea the sound goes really low when it is covered and only one speaker is there so the sound is very low try using the ring + vibrate mode it may help u little bit and also u can set the option of illumination while ringing.
if i put it in my pocket, i dunno if it is coverd but i can't hear the ring
also, the vibration is so "consistant" that i couldn't feel it.......
ai.....

Install VAlert then
VAlert? May i know wat that does? so there's really no other CAB or somethin to increase the volume??

Had the same issue with a previous phone
I solved it by wearing a Sony Ericsson BT watch
My watch vibrates (and the tickle is sooo obvious, can´t be mistaken) and tells me who's calling
Maybe a BT watch can help if you work in a noisy environment
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!
Apologies in advance if this issue has been covered, but I failed to see it in any searches.
I was wondering if there was anyway of increasing the strength of the vibrate on this model? When I receive calls or messages in meetings, I am unable to notice in when it's on vibrate mode.
Thanks.
hmm the HD2 has the strongest vibration that i know of, if you cant feel that perhaps your nerves are buggered
what when mine vibrates it registers on the richter scale.
lmao, same here. When I recive messages, emails etc. in class everyone look at me -.-
Be sure to turn vibration on, you must manually do that for Messages and emails etc. from sounds settings I mean.
I've checked all the settings and ensured "vibrate" is on, but I can still barely notice it. Ah well, thanks for the replies guys

Strange, mine is loud enough. I always notice my messages etc. but it is maybe becouse I use SonyEricsson MBW-100 with my Leo?
Interesting indeed, all the posts I've seen about vibration so far were about REDUCING it
Could someone give me a thread about decreasing vibration strenght then? I tried to search sometime ago but couldn't find a way to decrease keypress vibration for example....

Wear less clothing
Seriously though, the only way to increase the vibrating strength would be to actually open the phone and take out the vibrating motor, and either add a heavier weight to it, or to change to a motor with a higher RPM.
However, that will not only void your warranty, but can possibly a) cause structural damage to your phone or b) drain battery faster.
Mine is also not so strong, and before I used to have Nokia's which were a lot stronger, so their might be some weaker HD2?! So question stays: Is there a solution to +/- vibration on HD2?
hey, id also like to know how you can turn down the AMOUNT OF TIME that it vibrates for, when ever i get a text, it vibrates my ages!
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.
