Vibrate on connect call

One of the greatest feature in HTC phones for me, was the Vibrate on connect feature. Basically the phone vibrates slightly when the person you are calling answers , if you are not holding the phone to your ear. As long as the screen is turned off the phone does not before as it "thinks" you are holding it at your ear.
Is there any way to enable something like this on the GNexus? I couldn't find an app to for this.
Maybe one of the talented devs around here are interested in doing a mod to enable this function?

Cyanogenmod has this feature. I'm unsure if it is present in cm9 as its still relatively new, but it was definitely in cm7

I cant belive that there is no option for this on GN .. (stock rom)

I actually did give that one a try earlier today. The vibrate on call end worked for me, but the vibrate on call connect did not work at all (stock ICS). The app has several different "vibration mode settings" to try if it isn't working on your phone, but I had no luck with any of the different settings.
I emailed the developer, so hopefully they get back to me.

i'm missing this feature too!

I had this feature on the OG Droid through the KickBack, which was installed when I switched to a cyanogenmod 7 rom... KickBack says that it's deprecated/included in ICS, but I can't find a setting for this feature anywhere on my GN (4.0.4 stock rooted). I would really love to have this feature back, just so I don't have to stare at my phone until it starts actually dialing.

Open dialer goto logs .. press menu..goto call setting> call alert> call vibrate ... this worked for my galaxy note 2 n7100

[Q] Vibrate....gotta be a way to increase the "oomph"!!!! Right?!?

I love this phone...but for my purposes, having it on vibrate = having it on silent. I missed TWO job interview calls having my phone on vibrate in my pants! I barely had time to call 'em back today to set up an in-person!!!!
I found a program a few weeks ago to handle my volume problems....is there a program that handles the vibration problems??? I guess I'm one step away from changing the vibration to just one long vibrate for texts and calls....but this soft motor probably still won't help it out!
Anything? Or am I doomed to putting this on craigslist and waiting for the next big phone???

I think it agitates everyone pretty well actually.
To be on topic, though, I don't know of any apps, or software mods at all really, that will increase the power on the vibration. That's a hardware thing.

Really? Seems great to me. Way better than my previous HTC phones.

Apparently Light Flow has settings where you can set particular vibrations for particular notifications (i.e. how long & how frequent you want them). Haven't tested it myself, but I've read about it. Link. Perhaps if Light Flow doesn't work, try Sound Manager V2?

I tried light flow but I could never seem to get it to play nice w/Handcent.. It'd always stutter my ringtone. Even when I turned notifying for Handcent off...
On a table, it works fine. On a bed or couch or pocket...it's garbage. And I really didn't notice it until last week when I needed it on vibrate. Now, I wish I'd noticed it during the 30 day period of returning the phone....
Shoot!

[request] auto-give a ring (missed call)

My girlfriend is killing me with this. She gives me a ring (missed call), it means that she is thinking about me, checking if I'm alive and I don't know what else...so if I don't drop call her back, she hassles me all day long.
any app ?
To make it clear, this will call only those numbers ONE ring (shorter that 3 sec).
any one have like these apps ? :victory:
like auto responder
i need auto miss make a missed calls

I don't mean to offend you. Better tell your girlfriend you wont die that easily or get a girlfriend who doesn't do this stuff. xD

Android Device Manager - Ring function does not work properly

I have Google Apps and am trying to ring my device remotely while its set to vibrate. It rings once at full volume then stops (its supposed to ring for five minutes at full volume). If I call my phone it makes a quick chirp and then goes into silent mode from vibrate (its supposed to stay at full volume). Can someone please test theirs?

Works fine for me.

In working with Google, the resolution was:
Paid Google Apps should use: https://www.google.com/apps/mydevices
Regular Android Consumers: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Using the Google Apps link all the functionality works great.

It did the same thing for me. One ring at full volume, then fell back to silent.
The Google ID i have tied to this phone is my personal one, so I can only use the "Regular Android Customers"

Working fine here.

My wife uses the HTC One on T-Mobile, and we see this behavior on her phone as well. I don't remember my One on Verizon having this issue, but in fairness I never tried it until after I flashed CM 10.2. Anyway, it's not specific to the Verizon edition. Whether that's comforting or not, I can't say.

Same here. One ring only.

Old thread but the same for me.
Rings once.

Same here. Rings once, then unable to trigger again. Not sure what the retry threshold is supposed to be.

Just tested it with my Note3 and it does the same, rings only once no matter if the phone is set to vibrate or not. Although it seems to track it fine even though I'm indoors.
But I already had the chance to put this to good use a few weeks ago to find my father's S3. He called one evening upset and said he thinks he lost his phone on the golf course somewhere. I started to get mad at myself for not having installed one of the tracker apps on his phone. It was already near dark and we have heavy dew that would have ruined the phone overnight. So I called Verizon and asked if there was anything we could do. The rep asked if he had a Google account setup on the phone and whether or not GPS was on. I said yes to both and he instructed me how to login at Google.com and track the phone with Android Device Manager. It worked perfect. It pin-pointed the phone of the golf course and my father and I went to retrieve it. It was really dark by then and I was using my phone, signed into his Google account, to see the map. We went to where the map indicated the phone was but still didn't see it even with flashlights. So I clicked the ring option and we heard his ringtone clearly in the quiet darkness. It was less than 10 feet from where we were looking and it was lying face down it thick grass. Had it not been for the ringer, we may have overlooked it and just assumed the mapped location wasn't very accurate.
So that story had a happy ending and at least the ring option worked on the S3, but it still only rings once on my Note3. And when I immediately click the ring option a second time it doesn't ring at all. If I wait 30secs to a minute and try it again, it will ring but only once. My father had a song ringtone on his S3 and I just have one of the default ringtones on my Note3. Wonder if that makes a difference? Will have to test it sometime.
Also I'm curious to see if the device tracker will work well with GPS turned off? The rep asked me if GPS was turned on, and I knew my father gets good battery life and just leaves his GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi on. I was so excited to see it track the phone that I forgot to ask if it would work with the GPS turned off. The battery on the Note3 also lasts about 2 days even with GPS and Wifi on, so I'm planning on leaving GPS on just in case.

So, with a Galaxy Note 5, just updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1, I can't get it to ring at all (didn't try with 5.1.1).

Quiet Mode - How to allow phone calls??

Hi, I just recently transitioned from the Note 3 to the LG G3 & find the phone to be an incredible upgrade!!
I got used to the "Blocking Mode" feature on the Samsung phone & find the similar feature "Quiet Mode" on the LG phone to be very lacking. On the Samsung phone I could activate the blocking mode & still receive phone calls from predefined numbers. The LG phone seems to offer a similar arrangement whereby phone calls from specific numbers could be allowed but the quiet mode feature works by putting the phone either in "Silent or Vibrate Only" modes & thus with the "Quiet Mode" activated even though it allows the call to go through but I can't respond to it as the phone is Silent or on Vibrate while I sleep.
This seems like a big oversight whereby the whole purpose of allowing phone calls is defeated!!
Can anyone please advise what to do or if I am doing something wrong??
Thanks

I think the allowed contacts will be able to reach you in Quiet Mode. So the phone rings when someone calls you that is in your 'allowed' list. I haven't tried it though. An good alternative to LG's Quiet Mode is the app Silence. You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cabooze.buzzoff2

Thanks a lot for your reply, that's the strange thing that even on the allowed contacts the phone remains silent.

I've tried it and yes, the phone doens't ring at all. Well Silence Premium is much better.

Thanks, does silence premium control the LED light as well?

Wow what a total f**king worthless broken feature. I had it setup for calls from family to come through and my wife and kids were in a wreck and my phone never rang. Wtf.
Multiple numbers listed in the allowed callers list and nothing. Verifiable, repeatable. I only used it while sleeping. When I calm down I will decide whether to return this $650 piece of $#*+

Extreme call blocker also is very usefull, you can create a black or white list, even block sms if you want! Really a great program!

I made as Tasker profile that silences the phone between selected hours when it's charging. Then I made another profile that allows calls from favorite contacts to go through anyway, with increasing ringing. I think I could make an app from this, if someone is interested.

I highly recommend the app Do Not Disturb. It has a few more features than Samsung's blocking mode and it's free. There is even a premium version for a buck and a half that gives you more functionality. Plan on buying it to support the developers but free version provides all I need for now. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Here is an answer to your problem. Long press quiet mode and you get his menu which should hold the holy grail or for the lame people a 'solution'

No, you still can't choose Sound under Sound profile. Only Silent an Vibrate are available. And that means no sound when someone important calls, which means this Quiet mode is useless when you are sleeping. Might as well turn off the phone completely.

I don't think you understand the problem..Allowed contacts are still silenced so the phone may ring but you will not hear it.

When you put your contacts in the white list in that programm i mentioned (Extreme Call Blocker) your Phone will ring on a volume which you have specified even when your Phone is muted!

Cool but what's that got to do with my post! I quoted member "Pilz" who was talking about stock quiet mode i am well aware of the 1000s of programes like extreme call blocker that do a better job than LGs attempt

AT&T rep duplicated it on the phone with me when I called about something else. They'd been using* it too and didn't think to test it first either.
Does that feature work on any variant?
For any other helpers, yeah we know there are settings. That's the point, they don't work.
Thanks for the working alternatives posted by others.
