Hi,
Using my Huawei Watch with my Samsung Note 10, and I am very happy with everything except the vibration. It is too loud.
Right now I use the app Feel the wear to reduce the vibration. But this requires me to always use Do Not Disturb to disable the standard vibration which follows.
I would rather like to not use Do Not Disturb and just modify the vibration inside the watch itself, so that it is reduced system-wide.
Is this doable? All the threads about this are very old, and I think they are not working on the latest update?

Most people want to increase the vibration, as the stock seems pathetically weak. Never heard of anyone trying to decrease vibration...

Comming from Samsung Galaxy Watch, I also would like to reduce vibration intensity. I used to set vibration to minimum and also feel it very well.
And I think it's lessa disturbing along the day, especially if you receive a lot of notifications. :good:
Any way to increase?

I wish there was something reliable, but Feel The Wear is the only thing we've got. Can't necessarily increase it, but can double and extend the vibration.

I've been having an issue with my ringer since the upgrade. It seems to be weaker than it was before the update, and this is a big issue for me. I leave my ringer on vibrate because of school or work, and it's so weak that I cannot feel it in my case. This has rendered my phone almost useless.
My question is, is there any way to increase the intensity of the vibration ringer? I don't care if I need to root or anything like that, I just want to be able to do it. I know if there is anyone that can help me this is the place. Also I'm on the stock rom, not rooted. Thank You guys.
I feel the same way.
My friends mytouch3g might as well be ringing when it vibrates.
He likes to say "The epic is too pretty to vibrate like that. It has to be elegant!" lol

Did you turn the vibration intensity all the way up under sounds?
Yea but that only changes the haptic feedback. I need the vibration for the ringer and notifications. I know there is a way to change it, there has to be.
Bump. Has nobody else experienced this?

+1. I have missed so many calls and texts because of it. I wish there was a way we could up the intensity on the vibrator and i'm sure there's is a way...maybe theimplare747 or k0nane know?

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this. I took it to a sprint store, and the rep swore that his was the same on his phone. If they can do it with an update, there has to be some way to do it manually? Any help would be appreciated.
Same here, it seems like right after I upgraded to EC05, the vibration module switched to a different one.... It's like the phone has 2 different vibrating mechanisms.
EDIT: I'm on EC05 with SyndicateROM Frozen with the Twilight Zone Kernel, if that makes any difference
I thought from the title you were using the vibrator feature.....

Nope, just one of the many that are experiencing a now useless phone due the the lowered intensity of the vibrate function.

Add me to the mix. I'm sitting at my work desk right now and have the intensity on max... I just missed a text and its sitting right in front of me. I used to have it to about 75% and was fine. Darn update!!

So, shortly after typing my last post, my phone had a meltdown. Everything force closed, if I tried to swipe screens too fast it would vibrate and then reset itself for about an hour, nothing would load, the dialer froze up when I received calls, text didn't go through, etc. I took it to a Sprint store, and the tech eventually gave me a brand new phone. I took it home and installed the update, without a hitch. Everything works fine.
And guess what? The vibrate is just as strong as it was pre-update. I'm thinking this is an issue with only some of the updates?
Excuse me for my ignorance, but wouldn't the vibration intensity have more to do with wear over time than updates?
I assume that the vibration intensity, if identified as a software issue, could be updated and integrated with developer roms.
Granted, I have noticed the weak vibration on my epic, but this is something I noticed from the beginning and chalked up to dampening from the slider mechanism. If the phone has a case, it would also reduce the vibration in conjunction with a slider mechanism.
I have had a few slider phones (HTC Mogul, Palm Pre) and each has has significant loss of vibration due to a split body dampening the vibration. Of course these are only my observations with products and reflect in no way a professional or coherent opinion.

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!
Has anyone noticed that they lessened the effect of the vibration? I wish there was a setting for that
I haven't noticed something like that for my watch.

did you change your watch band? i've noticed the position of the watch impacts the "quality" of the vibration. short of that, the vibration is just as strong as it was before. seems like an odd thing to change without change-logging it.
Im not getting any vibration at all from anything after the update, not when I power on the watch or from opening wwrae mini launcher
for gmail, i get an extra vibration after i swipe right and click delete...minor annoyance
The vibration is definitely lighter after the 5.0.1 update. I surmise that it's part of their effort to extend battery life. I, too, wish there was a control for that like ambient.

I'm not getting ANY vibration for notifications after the update, really hoping they fix this soon as it's the whole point of a smart watch. Have tried restarting and resetting to no avail.
i don't see how people are getting zero vibration. i'd send the watch back. i don't think there's a way to turn it off without also turning off the notifications.

I find this annoying also. Can't believe they would add this "feature" without the ability to disable it.

Curious what some of you are doing as far as managing volume since Pie. And if my complaint below annoys anyone else.
My complaint about Pie is the fact that the notification volume is married to the ring volume. Typically I want my phone to ring at about 75% and notifications to sound off about 30%.
I've tried sound profile and macro droid. What I've discovered is that even though in both of those applications you can adjust notification volume separate from ring volume like with Samsung, but what ever was last to change is what both are set to. It's very frustrating having my phone blast notifications at 75% or my phone ring at 30% and not hear it. I've created a few macros that almost solve the issue, but the macros are not 100% all the time.
I've searched high and low and can hardly find anyone else complain about this. That makes me wonder, am I missing something really simple?

Nope, it's been tied together for years, not just with the Pie update. On Oreo and previous versions i was able to use xposed and Gravitybox to separate the notification and ringtone volume levels, or on some custom roms they have that option built in. I updated to Pie, and gave up xposed/gravitybox.. but I would still like the ability to set notification and ring volumes separate. One day maybe..
Scratching my head as to why I never noticed until Pie, I've had my Pixel 2xl since May.
Any other solutions people use that don't require root?

installed precise volume.. haven't noticed a difference yet, and when i go back in and check the settings it seems the system changes the values..
Yeah I remember now, I was using sound profile to manage my sounds. After the pie update I couldn't get it to work well with my DND rules, kept missing important calls, so I ditched it and went all native.
The hack job in doing now is using macrodroid (user friendly tasker like app) monitor for incoming calls and set ringer to 75% unless silent or vibrate, then wait 20 seconds and set volume back to 30%. That makes sure my notifications don't scream at me all the time.
I also set up the DND schedule in macrodroid mainly because using the native DND, it would use the last set volume and not wake me up for important calls. This way when my schedule activates DND, it will also set the ring volume all the way up so the important calls and texts will wake me up while muting everyone else.
Too much work to make all this happen, I miss my Samsung.

So no solution yet on this, I remember back in the first galaxy days, when I rooted and installed ROM... that was one of the options almost every custom ROM had... hard to belief it never made it all the way into an official google release...
You can always use Automagic (preferred) or Tasker to set up shortcuts. It can adjust each individually. The newest Automagic beta (gotta purchase it) can even intercept your volume buttons. Get creative with it and can probably find a better solution than you previously had.
You can try Volume Butler app from playstore. It works for me.

I just bought a OnePlus 6T after being on a Samsung Note5 since it came out and forgot about this "feature" of stock Android. I don't know why it's too much to ask for these to be separate. Now if I want to silence notifications at night but allow the phone to ring I have to use the Do Not Disturb settings. Should be so much easier than this.
I remember one version of Android had the two sliders for notifications and ringtone separate, and you could select a checkbox to sync them only if you wanted.
What the heck!
I've been on CyanogenMod/LineageOS for the past years and now that I'm on OxygenOS with the OnePlus 6T I'm noticing this nonsense!
What's the problem on having the option to link the ringer and notification volume togheter or NOT???
And at the same time, what't the problem on having the option to choose to use the volume buttons for media or for ringer?
It's a software, leave us the options!
Same here. Lineageos user now oneplus 6. No separate notifications volume. Very very annoying. ****, maybe put an expert mode to android if you think people are confused by so many options. ?

Yes! I find it really, really annoying. I like to have notifications only just audible but ring tone quite loud and the fact that this is now impossible, is incredibly irritating and frustrating. What on earth were the Android Pie developers thinking of....
I haven't found any fix for it at all but I'm not as au fait with development as you are. I'll keep looking though. Perhaps there'll be a fix from Android Pie developers soon.
I gave my pixel 2xl to my son and picked up a note 9. Forgot how much I missed Samsung. No longer have to deal with that asinine decision to marry ring tone and notification sounds. Love my note9. But miss the camera from the pixel

The easiest way to reduce notification volume is to use Audacity or similar and supress the loudness of the audio file. No need to root the device just for that.
It seems like a huge conspiracy. Why oh why google cannot affort to make it a setting to choose different volumes. It must be that apple is paying them to make android suck.
I miss all most my calls now on my new phone. I just do not hear them with my notifications off. I just cannot have notification volume on at work. I get hundreds of those each day.
But I maybe get a phone call once a week during office our? Also when going to sleep or watching tv or what ever it is super super irritating to get those super loud notifications.
They say is like this since kitkat. Well I come from kitkat and my kitkat did not work that way. Maybe I fixed it years ago but I cannot remember.
Now there seems to be a solution called "Volume Butler" but hey! This is no longer on google play? You would think that google discovered that some people dared having difference volume for ringones and notifications. !!!!
I have a rooted phone I cannot believe it is this complicated to seperate the volumes. and I so do not understand why google is forceing this. what could possibly be their motivation not to make this optional? Sure link by default not problem if we can just turn it of.
okay I found volume buttler some where else but it totallay does not sepperate the 2.
It only shows 2 sliders but only one works and works for both.
I cannot believe this. make my phone useless. Since people cannot call me like most of the time.
I have to get a seperate phone dumb phone? ith a seprate databundle just to get calls and my new . How evil is that. And people will not understand thay canot whats app me on my calling nummbers. They have to whatsapp me on my notification number.
Als this because of a lazy developer at google?
Screw fingerprint scanning or face recognition give me my seperate volumes.
And then people say give feed back! just go to settings / tips /feedback? Well my stock android 9 does not have that.
Getting desperate.
Maybe install 10 versions of each notifications sound and have an app rename them based on the volume I need. But still think it is totally unnessary! This is not a feature it is a basic function of the stupid phone.
I agree it's bs with stock not having this feature. On most custom Roms it's included.
This is on lineage 16

Greets all,
My phone just updated 2 days ago to the new EMUI 10 and now I cant find the setting to stop the phone from ringing softly and then increasing gradually. I never had it set that way and I cant find the setting to stop it. When it rings I want it to be loud as I have it on max, I dont want it to start soft and gradually increase the ringtone. Any help would be good as I have looked under the sound settings and found nothing.
I believe its a bug - because it's hard to imagine even Huawei deciding it to be a 'feature' - and it's the same with the P30 Pro 10.1 update. As far as I know there's no remedy.

Wonderful. I know there is a feature that is gradual ring increase, just like there is the option to soften the ring when picking up the phone, but not to find it or if it a bug, they need to fix it, Cause I would be highly pissed if I factory reset the phone only to find out that it still exists and i did it for nothing.
