Hi Guys,
This may be because I'm coming for a Blackberry but my Nexus's vibrate function feels WAY too light. I'll have the phone sitting on a pad of paper on my desk and the only way I know I have a notification is if I happen to glance over at the phone and the LED is blinking.
Has this been anyone else's experience? Is there an app (similar to Volume+) that would help increase the vibrate function's strength?
Thanks!

You, probably, have forgotten to turn on the vibration-notification in sms settings.
I even get frightened because of a phone, when there is a new text message and my phone is on the desk near me
I have vibrate in the Messenger app set to "Always".

I can double confirm this. The vibration is so powerful that it also makes a loud noise at the same time. So this is definitely not a generic phone problem. Maybe your specific model ? Try to get another one.
does an app exist that will boost the vibrate function so that I can give it a try

I didn't think the vibration was weak on the GN until earlier today when I decided to install ICS on my trusty HD2 to see how it handled it. The vibration on my HD2 feels about 3 times more powerful than the GN so some people might see it as weak.
Thank you. I don't think its a phone defect, I'd really like to see some way to increase the intensity.

I need to decrease vibration intensity because I I get frightened anytime the phone is on my wooden desk and vibrates! Any app out there?

I am wondering the same thing!

My Galaxy Nexus's vibrate is INCREDIBLY weak. Barely audible at all when on a desk, and basically impossible to feel vibrate when it's in my pocket. At first I thought it was my silicone case, but even after taking it out of the case it's barely any better.
There are actually people who believe the vibrate is powerful? I wonder if I should get mine checked out.

I have a feeling that they're being hyperbolicly defensive. Quite a few reviews have mentioned this as an issue, along with quiet notification sounds.
If you're in a silent room with your phone on your desk, of course you'll feel that the vibration is strong. But just get out of the house and into a loud place, like a mall. I missed two calls and an SMS the first time I went out with my GN even though vibrate AND sound were on.
Sorry to bump an old-ish thread, but still no one has offered any solutions. Is it possible or not to increase the vibration intensity?
Yeah, I fail to see how anyone can think the vibrate on this phone is strong. I set my D2G next to the phone and it got an email I can hear the vibrate in the other room. Next when the SGN got a vibrate I barely heard it 2 feet away in my chair. Either I have a defective model or this phones vibrate is insanely weak.
Bump for revisiting this...
I'm considering the GNexus, but vibration strength is a big issue for me. I keep my phone on silent with vibration at work and out in general, because I personally consider it more considerate to others.
I'm not concerned with vibration when it's sitting in my desk, but I'm definitely concerned when it's in my pocket. In fact, I returned the RAZR because I literally missed every call and SMS that came in because the vibration was so week.
Can anyone compare this to the SGS2's vibration, which I thought was strong, and I could feel it when in my pocket. Same thing with the iPhone when I had that -- I thought the vibration was very strong.
I know it sounds like a weird deal-breaker, but if I'm missing calls/SMS, it defeats the main purpose of the phone, you know?
I turn off all default and use light flow. The vibrate time can be customized. I hate to 2 little buzz vibrates. I have it set for a continuous time of 3 seconds.

I would consider the vibration strength as low/decent. I came from a Motorola XT720 which had a much stronger vibration.
I've never used a SGS2 or RAZR so I can't really comment. I've used friend's iPhones briefly but would say the iPhone has a stronger vibrate.
For what it's worth I can usually feel the vibration of texts and calls when the phone is in my pocket.
I don't really care, but the vibrate function on my SGN is absolutely anemic. It's the weakest I've ever had in any smartphone, to the point where I just turn it off because it's so unnoticeable.
Hello guys
Is there any method to get GN vibrate when pocket? Obviously it should be in dependence of proximity sensor, but I cannot set it up, as lets say HTC Sensation does.
Thanks and ciao
Majjjjo
I having the same sota problem with my sensation
I just thought of this and I have no idea if it would work but would it be possable to ad a little more unevenness to the pager motor to make it vibrate more, not Evan sure if u can get access to the little buzzer but as I said its just an idea

this made me think. i think there's an "option" to change vibrate strenght in the source....
Anyone else getting a loud short crack sound when calling,ie just before the dial tone starts. It's pretty annoying, especially when you know it's coming.
Have updated and tried several custom roms to no avail.

Nope...
I got one still stock and the other one had 3 roms on it as yet.
But nothing remotely like your problem..
Was it like this from day one??
Can't say I've noticed anything like this either?
Maybe it's the speaker for the phone turning on? I've heard slight noises as that happens before, but never a loud crack noise.
Alternatively, wait till it starts to ring before putting it to your ear.
Not exactly my idea of a quality 'telephone' if you've got to hold it away from your face before you make the call. And yes, it has been like this from day one.
Most likely a faulty unit.

So don`t bother with it ....Return it..
I get this exact sound before every call...I was hoping it was not h/w related, as I'd hate to have to return it.
I got mine unbranded at Media Markt in Germany.
I get a noise when calling someone. It's a sort of distortion when the volume is set on the highest. I hear it when it's ringing and when the person speaks a bit louder than usual. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced that?
Same problem here but not every call more like 80%. Hope it is software side anybody had contact with HTC about this?

network signal maybe?
I have only noticed similar noise when making phone calls during network/signal problem. Meaning I have only 1 bar signal or none or in area with bad connectivity. I did not notice anything when I have full bars.
It seems that my speaker was out of its place since my phone fell. Its nothing serious the guy fixed it instantly. I might get a replacement speaker if the sounds comes out again.
I am a bit disappointed though since the fall was barely from 30 cm from the ground. Not a solid handset.

Have the same here, with all the official ROMs available...
I've just got my 2nd OX after I sent the first one back due to the very very light haptic/vibration feedback from the screen and buttons.
I've just test the replacement and it's EXACTLY the same. I know the vibration works normally on this and the one I sent back but it's just so light compared to my SGS2 (*pukes*), my trusty HD2 before that and my brother's new OS.
So what's the deal? How's your haptic feedback? Is there a way to set the strength of it?
I guess that is normal. I also have the impression that the haptic feedback is way to light - compared to my Galaxy S2.
Yeah the haptic feedback is relatively light. I personally prefer it that way .
Heard that AOKP ROMS may be coming to HOX and from memory, I think they give you the chance to change the length/intensity of the haptic feedback.
It's normal...
It's much lighter than other phones... but I like it this way. The GNexus I previously had had an annoyingly strong haptic feedback, so i turned it off...
So I sent back my perfect OX for one that might not be perfect?
Is there anything I can do to increase the duration of the vibration because it really doesn't work as it is for me.
Definitely lighter than previous phones, and for better IMO

Plus one. I can barely tell when I've hit or missed the soft key I was going for.
Back in the days of Cyanogenmod on my Thunderbolt, I remember there was a ridiculously intricate section built right into the Settings app for adjusting haptic feedback durations, patterns, intensity, etc. Perhaps it's possible to incorporate those settings into a rooted OneX or other Sense 4.0 device.
Oh, sorry for bringing up a somewhat old thread.
My haptic feedback feels reasonably strong, more so than the LG Secret I had years ago (the last phone I had to feature haptic feedback). I don't like it at all though, it's one of the first things I turned off. It seems that with my very fast typing the haptic feedback lags a little, which gives the illusion the whole phone is lagging. It isn't of course as the UI is responding perfectly.
I have increased the feedback with the keyboard, I have SwiftKey 3 installed for that though....
Yeah, would love to be able to turn the soft key vibration up a notch. It's pretty useless as is. Either that or add some sound to them.
Flash a cm10 ROM. Problem solved. Haptic feedback is great

Nah. Not fond of Cyanogen ROMs.
HOX about two weeks old, not rooted running apex pro nothing toi fancy. First my feedback is more pronounced than on other phones but that's nothing compared to what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (guessing) that is between 12 and 15 seconds at full vibration. If you've run a program to drain your battery with full haptic running. I'm at a loss and have reset phone 3 times, but it can't to good for the phone, and way beyond haptic feedback. Any suggestions? Ideas? Also, can't duplicate as yet and not really enthusiastic about tech support or store either.
Thanks

juz got my m8. amazing build quality. amazing interface. I just changed from S4, and I can say the stock keyboard is much better!! S4 would get some lags on LINE app after awhile... but so far my m8 rock seems very good. I will wait a few weeks to see how it goes.
Separately, anyone encountered a very soft "click" / tick sound whenever the vibration haptic feedback? This happens once every so often (say every 10 vibrations will yield one "tick" sound). When i put my ear to the phone, it seems as though the vibrating motor itself is maybe not aligned, so there is slight rattle sound. NOTE: I have already switch off the SOUND click feedback. This is definitely a mechanical tick....super duper soft...
Is this common? Maybe in just ocd...
This phone is so perfect in all other ways...

Yeah I have it too.
Had it on my S4 as well so I don't care.
HI
I just got my nexus 5X yesterday but there is an annoying sound when i press some button or unlock the phone. i can not find where should i turn off this sounds. Any idea? It sounds like windows 98!!!
on youtube you can find a sample video what i mean just search: Nexus 5X Strange sounds
Is it vibrating when you hear the "sounds"? There have been some people that have a vibration motor that seems to make an audible sound.

You mean they don't all do that? I ordered two and they both do it. Doesn't bother me, though. I got an 6P also but I'm liking this phone for the feel. 6P outperforms this phone but it is big and heavy.
