My Lumia 900 black vibrartion works like this..
During Incoming Call:
When in Vibra+Ring Mode:
Vibrates only for first ring and then stops. Only Ringing occurs afterwards.
When in Vibrate Mode:
Vibrates normally like any other phone.
Is my device working properly in Vibra+Ring mode. I hope it should Ring and Vibra till the incoming call stops. Correct me if I am wrong.. Is my device defective?
Thanks.
Can someone please answer this question by taking some time by testing your device and compare it with mine?
Thanks..
Are you saying your phone vibrates when in Ring mode?
I'm pretty sure my Vibra+Ring mode is the same as yours; it will vibrate on the first ring but then only ring from then on.

Mine works the same way... which now explains why i miss a bunch of calls when Im walking in the street in NYC and dont feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.
Doh!
This is kind of weird implementation. Hope this gets updated to vibe/ring at the same time throughout the entire incoming call.

Ok, yeah that makes sense. And yes, my phone works the same way.
I just tested my phone as well and it only does the initial vib then stops as the phone continues to ring. I don't like that. I like for my phone to vibrate and ring at the same for the duration of the call. Interesting find. I'll probably end up missing calls as well because of this.

Same here, vibrates on the first ring only. I didn't even notice that until I saw this post. This could possibly be an issue for me in the future but right now it's not really a big deal as I didn't even realize it. The only time I really do need vibrate is when my phone is on silent.
Yeah..this is an important issue as we might miss calls during traveling. Single vibe would not suffice.
Traditionally all NOKIA devices vibrates and rings at the same time. This device is working weird which can be fixed by a software update.
We should inform Nokia about this issue in their conversations by pointing to this thread.
I just tested mine. It will vibrate first and then ring, but once the ringtone has cycled, it will vibrate again and then ring, and so on.
Choose a short ringtone and set vibration to on. Then try making a call to the device. Allow the ringtone to cycle at least twice. I know this isn't the equivalent to vibe with ring, but at least I do get more than one vibration with my ringer.
Here's a observation...
I'm noticing that this phone actually NEVER vibrates and plays a sound at the same time. Such as new SMS or new email... the phone will vibrate first and then ding, same as an incoming call (vibe then ring).
So I'm wondering if there is possibly some sort of limitation (hardware or software) that doesn't allow the Lumia 900 to vibe & play sound simultaneously.
Thoughts?
I believe that WP7 is configured to vibrate at the beginning of every cycle of the ringtone.
Because of this, if you have a long ringtone such as a song, it will only have the chance to vibrate once before your voicemail kicks in.
To test this theory i changed my ringtone to "Topic" which was included with the phone.
As expected, it vibrates, runs the two rings that make up the ringtone file, then vibrates again as it repeats. This means that shorter ringtones will result in more frequent vibrations.
Can someone else test this to confirm?

You are right...works the same way..
Vibration in any lumia
I been having issues with the vibration as well. I have a Lumia 710 and have tried on a 800. The short ringing tone works fine to keep it vibrating.
But I´ve heard you can actually have the phone ringiing and vibrating at the same time.
there is a post in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11948890#post11948890
but it only workls with HTC. i have been looking for a program or a registry editor that can change the vibration function on a LUMIA.

Please dont laugh, but the only thing I am missing from my mobile phone, is the ability to turn off the phone (or the ringer) quickly.
I am in and out of places where it would be bad form to have the phone ring and unless I am mistaken, the pda cannot be turned off (completly) and the only way to stop it ringing is to put it into "airline mode" ?
Can I add a short cut to the man menu or something to achieve silence?
Regards,
Peter
You can click on the speaker icon in the top, and chose your setting there.
If you forgett to do this, you can when it starts ringing, just move the volume slider on the side, and it will silence the ring tone, and the caller wont notice this.
You can push the red hardware phone button to reject the call, the caller wil prob. notice this.
You can have a look at PocketZenPhone

Thanks Bosjo
Your welcome
yes Bosjo is correct.
on my XDAlls from 02,
If i get a incomming call at the wrong time i Flick my Vol Slider Down (once) and the ring is Muted for that call.
The Caller will Still hear the Rining and dosent know you have Muted it.
However, If i Wigle the the Vol slider up and down a few times the incomming call is Rejected as if i pressed the red hangup button.
Hey guys!
I've been wondering a bit, after getting my Galaxy Nexus. I mostly have my phones on silent, just have it to vibrate, when ever I receive a call, sms, e-mail or what ever.
But with the Galaxy Nexus, I seem to can't feel the vibrator (no naughty thoughts!), and therefore I can't have my phone on silent.
Anyone know if i can change it with an app or anything else? Really hate that my phone needs to sound like a an robot when ever i get a notification.
Cheers,
Alexander W.

Are you talking about a software problem or a physical problem?
As in have you tried going into like gmail settings and turning on vibrate when receiving emails and stuff like that?
I had this exact same problem. I never have my phones make noise (other than the sound of it vibrating) as I don't want to accidentally leave it on loud when it should be on silent. Just easier that way. Plus you can hear your phone vibrating on a table or other hard surface from other rooms, so no need for sound.
It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but what the issue was for me was I had the ringer volume down too low. With your phone unlocked, press the volume up rocker once. You will see that it changes from a speaker with a line through it to a phone that appears to be vibrating. This will put it in silent but vibrate mode.
Also make sure in the sound settings that you have the vibrate mode set properly. I have mine set to always vibrate.
Hope that helps!

Try the application Light Flow. I had the same problem, couldn't feel the short vibration and missed my emails and such. With light flow you can set up custom vibrations for different applications. I have two exchange accounts and have set up different vibration lengths and led colors for each (the one vibrates for around 4 seconds). You can also set up another set of vibrations if you miss the first one that will repeat for a duration of time that you can also set.
For phone calls only, try vibration manager, it will allow custom vibrations for incoming calls.

Yes, there is silent, vibrate and tones
hiohokaybye - It's exactly like the others says. It proberbly isen't a problem with the phone, it just doesn't vibrate "hard" enought for me to feel it or hear it.
But thanks for the help, jaeisber, archerks & white lie! - Got it working "right" now.
Cheers, y'all, and Merry Christmas!
I giggled when I read the title of the thread.
I too have experienced missing calls and messages do to the fact that the phone vibrates at a much higher frequency than other phones I have had. It feels great when you hold it, but I don't notice it as much as other phones when I have it in my pocket.
Same here, I can't feel the vibration strong enough when it is in my pocket and miss calls. I'll have to try the light app.
Hey Guys, i have a question, my nexus is ringing when i have it set to silent mode.
The ring is not the normal ringtone.. when the call is received, there is a short ringing sound, the LED flashes and then it goes silent. all texts/emails are silent in silent mode its just phone calls show that ring-ring then go silent.
I am stock/rooted. Im not really sure what is going on here..
Any ideas? i looked through all the setting on the phone and couldnt find anything related to this.
Thanks so much for any help
Are you using any profile switching applications or apps that change your sound levels? I used to get this on my Droid sometimes when using a profile switching app. The app would say I was silent, and my volume levels were down, but on an incoming sound from twitter would still make it through, like the app didn't respond fast enough.
In vibrate mode, when someone calls, it vibrates for about 3 seconds then it stops. In normal mode (with vibrate when ringing option), it vibrates for 3 seconds also then it rings (I'm not quite sure if it's vibrate then ring or vibrate and ring). I am quite perplexed with this. In silent mode, the only way I'd know I'm getting a call is through vibrate (since phone is in my pocket). I'm not sure if it's only me. The phone has been restarted many times. I don't want to reset since I have installed quite a number of apps already.
I am using my 360 with a Galaxy Note 3. What I have found is that ONLY if the phone actually is set to make a physical sound, does the watch vibrate. For example, my email is set to vibrate only my phone. I do this because I get quite a lot of emails and don't want the phone beeping all the time...vibrate is sufficient. But then the watch gets the alert but does not vibrate. Only if I set the email app to make a sound does the watch vibrate.
Surely this is a bug? If the phone makes a sound OR vibrates, the watch should vibrate?
It's not a bug. As far as I know, the moto360 will currently only vibrate when your phone has ringer(ringtone/notification sound) enabled. Mine doesn't vibrate at all if the phone is on vibrate.

It may well be the current design, but if that is the case it's stupid! Why wouldn't you want the watch to vibrate if the phone vibrates?!

I agree with you. It's completely stupid. I came searching for an answer when my Moto 360 didn't vibrate with my Note 2, and I found this thread. I want the watch to notify me of a message or whatever the notification may be instead of the phone. This seems like an easy thing to make an option and I'm unsure how they missed the boat on this one.
I was also wondering why the watch was not vibrating. I have 99% of my notices sent to silent, no vibrate and just flash the LED indicator (I'm using PA on a Samsung Galaxy S3). I then stumbled across this thread and found my answer. I had to change the notifications in the various apps to vibrate and then the watch vibrates.
This seems quite silly to me. I don't want my phone to vibrate, I just want the watch to vibrate. One would think (hope) that you'll be able to set the watch/wear vibrate notifications independent of the phone notifications in a future upgrade.

i don't have mine to vibrate at different notifications, but rather, my phone is set on vibrate basically 24/7.
my watch vibrates when i get notifications that only vibrate my phone.

in android wear settings, there's a setting regarding when your phone is on silent, you can select it to either mute both phone and watch or just vibrate the watch

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. I'll be interested in seeing what it does tonight in the charging cradle. Really don't want that buzzing/vibrating all night.

I have a Moto X, and my 360 vibrates regardless of sound or vibrate mode on my phone.
Kind of makes sense that Moto works best with Moto.
I ended up having to go back to the alert on both option. With it set on wear only it mutes the phone, which is not what I want.

Maybe my notifications would make noise if I didn't have my phone on vibrate all the time I don't know... But since I don't keep my phone in a purse I don't need a loud noise to realize a call is coming in

Where is this setting?? I keep my phone on vibrate all the time, and my Fit vibrates with each notification. This "smart" watch doesn't seem to do that...
