I took my ameo apart the other day to fix a speaker and noticed that it had i slot for a vibrating alert. so I took apart my old dead o2 xda ii and the motor fitted in perfectly, trouble is the ameo has no software to switch it on so its useless on the whole. does anyone know of a way to add this missing software? as it is built into the rom it would be hard to add seeing how its never had one anyway.

This was brought up in a previous thread. But i've seen in the past something that enabled you to change profile, with the option to turn vibrate on adn off. I can't remember where I seen it though. Do a search maybe you'll come up luckier than me.
Hi, perhaps it can help : some skins of WISBAR Advance show the option.
But this doesn't mean it can really activate it...
its strange, its all setup for the motor inside, its as if they changed there mind last moment. it would be handy in my job to have it working, I guess the only real way is to take the software out of another rom with one and install it into the athena rom. i will keep searching.

wisebar is just the wallpaper for the real software behind I think, I dont think it is much trouble to add the button but its the rest. just because the slot and track is there, maybe some of the components are missing also. But im guessing here
Maybe vibrating alarm and the built-in microdrive won't like each other ?

I think that that is the most likely answer. I'm sure it would be OK at first but could damage things in the end,
I also remember reading about this somewhere. Seems like someone said vibrate was going to be incorporated, but was not because of the microdrive. I saw a vibrating motor that was only 3mm x 11mm. Maybe less vibrate would have less effect on the drive. Software though, hmmmmmmmm.......

The Better solution and answer provided some time ago was to make a recording of another device vibrating (i.e.: sitting on a desk or table) then using that audio file as the ringtone. It won't shake the innards of your Athena and if anyone in a meeting or where ever hears it, they wouldn't likely know the difference.

I just don't understand people who say the vibrating sound thing is a solution. If the pda is in your pocket, how does the vibrate sound let you know you have a call. You do not even hear it. It is the actual vibration that would let you know you have a call. i would give up the microdrive in a second for a real vibrate mode!
And besides hearing a vibrating phone in a meeting is just as bad as hearing it ring. So the idea would be to notify you that you have a call and others would not hear it.

If you are putting Athena in your pocket, you must be a BIG person or wear oversized clothes. IMHO Athean is not a pocket device (too big), but having the sound of a vibrating phone with the volume towards low is only audible very near the device. I would agree with your comment on being annoying if it were on loud. Perhaps those who absolutely want to vibrate should look towards the X7510 which has the 16GB flash instead of uDrive, and work on the hack to make it available as a ring setting.
Try to use standard HTC Home - it has possibility to choose vibra tone ( but I'm not shure if it send signal to vibra)

As it happens, I'm 6 foot 3 and weigh around 23 stone (325 lbs) so i meet both of those criteria. I have no problem with fitting this thing in my pocket.
Still, i don't do it cos i don't want to forget it's in there and crack the screen if i sit on it! Personally, vibration is not a problem for me, cos if I'm in a meeting or somewhere I can't answer the phone, i put it on silent and deal with everything afterwards.
Just because I CAN be contacted at any time on my mobile, doesn't necessarily mean that I WANT to be contacted.....
off topic :Woot! 100 posts.....
I almost posted this yesterday and didn't, but I feel the need to back up eagle 1. A recording of a vibrating phone is not a solution. I need vibrate here: in the car with the radio turned up, in a meeting, in a movie or performance theater. A quiet buzzing recording will be missed every time. There are times when I must be available, like when the kids are home with a babysitter.
The fact that HTC designed vibrate into our phones and then left it out is a real shame. I too would have given up the MD to get vibrate.
The Athena fit's quite nicely in my suite jacket pocket, or, indeed, the inside pocket of my leather jacket - either way, when I'm out I often can't hear the ring but would be able to feel a vibrate.
Ok Guys, based on your scenarios, here are some vibrating bluetooth options.

Actually the Athena fits pretty good in a coat pocket and even better if you ditch the keyboard and cover. When I am out I do this along with carrying the Style-i.
raskell - that's why I bought the Jabra BT8010 which has vibrate, although the motor is so small I sometimes miss it when its in the pocket of my jeans. Not as good as an industrial-strength vibrate would have been built-in to the Athena.
Hey, the more vibrating accessories you can get, the better your chance of not missing a call!
I would suggest making a Mortscript with a vibrate command. I'm not sure what component Mortscript relies on to vibrate but it seems it's incorporated into itself.
Now, my question is did you see any place to slip in an earpiece?

Hello! New guy here and in searching the web for some answers, I found this site and it looks like a good place to ask some questions
I'm wondering if anybody else finds the speakerphone to be unacceptable? Forget about using it an a car... especially one with an aftermarket exhaust And, even in a fairly quiet room you still have to have it fairly close to you to be able to hear it even with the volume all the way up. At first I thought it was a defective unit and so did the people at the Alltel store (new phone and they are not familiar with it) so they swapped it out for a new one. Got the SAME results and even the guy at Alltel was very disappointed with the quality of the speakerphone. I ended up calling Alltel and asking one of their people about it and they went and got a Touch Pro, tried it, and was like "Wow, that does suck!". LOL!
So, I'm not seeing very much here about how the speakerphone is basically unusable so am wondering if it possible that I got two bad phones in a row and the Altell tech guys have a bad one too?
While this isn't a dealbreaker for me, I do like to use it every so often and can't believe such an expensive phone has such a poor speakerphone!
If this is "just the way it is" is there anyway you smart guys on here which do the hacking can boost up the volume a little???
Thanks for any info or at least re-inforcement that the speakerphone is really "no good". If you all say it works fine then maybe I did just get two defective ones in a row. Thanks!
for a phone that costs as much as it costs HTC Should have put more effort into R&D of this phone..
I'm setting up a Class-Action website soon if HTC dont recall all there HTC Touch Pro's and fix (Put) High Performance Speakers in for the Speaker phone Speaker and of the Speaker when put to ear.
the way i see it is This phone is not even worth 100.00
I can pick up a 25.00 phone and the speakers are way better
I too have the one from Alltel. The speakerphone is weak; however, I don't use it much. When speakerphone is turned off, it is OK.
What I do use is a Motorola H500 and that is very weak as well. Not sure why.
Yeah, this is very disappointing. I thought I could "live" with a poor speakerphone because like cagarn, I don't use it often. It is more the point of it though... it is an expensive phone and if I WANT to use the speakerphone I WANT it to work!
Now, I'm having another problem... the GPS doesn't work worth a crap. I downloaded Google Maps and it was always stuck looking for satellites. Would always show 0 (zero). Thought maybe there was a problem with Alltel "messing" with something so programs like this wouldn't work and you'd be forced to spend $9.99 a month on Alltel's GPS service so, for troubleshooting purposes, I activated Alltel's service and it said "weak signal". Went out to the middle of a large yard and after trying a few times got the Alltel service to lock on and display my location. I then closed out that program and opened Google Maps and DID get it to work too. Since then though, I've not been able to get it to work even in the middle of a large parking lot and not even being in my car??? I went to the local Alltel to swap out the phone again because it seems like the GPS is defective but there were out of the phone. The lady had a personal use HTC Diamond so we tried Google Maps on her phone in the middle of the parking lot and it wouldn't find any satellites either??? What's going on with this? Going to look through the forums here and see if this too is a problem with this phone. Sigh. If this is just the way the GPS is, what the heck is the point of a GPS receiver that is so weak it can't be used in a car and only sometimes in the middle of a large field??? It is getting to the point were, even though I really like the phone and the killer resolution of the screen, I'm about ready to just go back to my trusty Treo 700wx!
I'm running google maps and had no issues. What signal are getting? EV, 1X, rA...?

I normally have EV but sometimes 1X. But, the problem isn't with the data part... the problem is it won't acquire any satellites.
I did notice something weird though... I ran a GPS Test program and it showed the GPS working then opened Googlemaps and it worked then too??? Since then I've been experimenting and the phone will sometimes get 12 satellites and other times I can't get it to connect to any and this is even standing still outside in good weather! I'm also having an issue with the signal (regular phone signal) varying greatly on the phone from no bars to maybe three bars while the phone is staying the same place. It was doing this at the Alltel store and all the other phones in there had a steady strong signal. They are going to replace the phone because of the GPS and weird signal issues. Hopefully this one will work
Oh, and there is a user on another board named badboy8813 who has developed a cab file which increases the volume of the phone. I have tried a "half" boost fix and now going to try the full boost fix and see if that makes it any better. The half one worked pretty good but I'd rather have it real loud and turn it down if needed
Are you talking about this?

I have tried both versions and both do what they say. The full boost version is NICE and LOUD Speakerphone still sucks though. It just isn't a good speakerphone speaker and I'm afraid nothing short of replacing the speaker will "really" fix this problem. The above definitely helps but it is very unfortunate such a nice and expensive phone uses such a cheap and crappy speakerphone speaker. My cheap old and free Motorola T262 speakerphone blows this thing out of the water
Yup i just spent 600+ on this phone with alltel because I'm still in contract, and the main issue i'm having is the crappy speaker phone as well.
oh and yea i had to use the volume boost which is pretty cool to bring the volume up as well but it only affected the regular volume, not the speakerphone, not that i noticed.
WOW, here is the reply i got from HTC
Hello David,
Thank you for your inquiry about the volume of the speakerphone on your Touch Pro.
We understand that it is important you receive all the information to best utilize your device. First I would suggest that you turn up both your System and your Ring volumes. Once you do this and are on a call with someone, it is suggested to speak and listen from the back of your phone. When the device goes into speakerphone mode, it switches its main speaker to the back speaker. This should improve your devices sound quality when using speakerphone.
David, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Wow is right. Sad. HTC isn't too "up" on their different version phones from the different providers. I read parts of the HTC Touch Pro pdf on their website before I got mine from Alltel so was familiar with their "standard" phone. When I was having speakerphone problems I called HTC tech support. The guy insisted the speaker was on the BACK of the phone. I relied "yes, it is on the back of the phone in the pics listed on your website but on MY ALLTEL phone there are two slits in the top the sound comes out of. He tried to agrue with me a little until I said "Listen, I have no fancy pattern on the back of my phone and no little grille looking thing. If you take the cover off there is nothing for speaker sound to go through and only clear SOLID plastic for the camera and light and if I cover up the slits on the top with my finger the speakerphone volume basically goes away and gets very muffled... the sound comes out of the top of my phone for sure." He replied back with something like "Well, it is supposed to come out the back." To that I replied, "Thank you for your assistance. Good bye."
Yep, I got about as much help from them as you did. They HAVE to know this speakerphone is basically useless. Why are they trying to play it off like you're an idiot? The worst part is that I asked if there was a "fix" for this and they replied no fixes and none being planned. Lovely. Maybe I'll have to buy an old phone on eBay for about $2 and solder in one of the GOOD speakers in my "state of the art" phone. LOL!
well, would it be the speaker or maybe something with the configuration in the phone? I would think speaker as well but i'm not as familiar with the phone.

I don't know for sure but from what I've been reading it seems like the speaker is jus not that great.
I just downloaded and started playing with a program called Diamond Tweak which allows you to use the equalizer for everything (not just when headphones are plugged in)... plus it does a ton of other stuff. I'm thinking if I can get the EQ tweaked in for standard TALKING then that might fix a lot of the problems. Might want to check it out...

If you come up with an "ideal" setting, please do share!
That's just retarded.

The phone vibrates a little bit when someone answers the other end. Does anyone know how to get shot of this as it's doing my head in!!!!! Been thru settings and can't see anything in there reference it. HHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPP.
I thought this was one of the nicest features I've seen on a phone.
maybe it stops if you use more exclamation and question marks in your posts.
Why would you wanna lose this option?
During connecting a call the radiation of the phone is the highest.
At the time the connection is made it's way lower (just listen to you're stereo when you're making and having a call sounds worse during the first 10 sec, before you answer)
Radiation does damage, so it's better to hold te phone to your ear when the connection is made. This way you know when you're connected.
Very cool option, wouldn't want to lose it
@Kendong2 - Don't be a *****. Play nice!
@Stafflover - Thanks for the information, I do hold the phone to my ear and the phone vibrates when the person the other end answers. Should the phone not be vibrating like? Cheers

The vibration is there so you don't need to hold the phone to your ear when it's most ''harmfull''
As i said, when you dail a number, making the connection sends out the most radiation. When you have a connection (after the vibrating) radiation is way lower (so more safe)
@stafflover
Again thank you for the information much appreciated. It just would be nice though for me to make my own decision with regards to the phone if you know what I mean. I am well chuffed with the phone, only had it a few days and still getting to grips with it. Thanks again.
yes understand, but I had several phones who had this function, never found a way to turn it of (maybe some of the cookers know how to remove it)
@stafflover
Yeh, I suppose so. To be honest now that you have pointed out the relevance of such a function it kinda makes perfect sense, certainly for health and safety reasons. To be fair the vibrate aint that bad if I don't put the handset to my ear until the phone has vibrated in my hand, basically using it for what it's there for. Many thanks Stafflover for the kind information, most appreciated.
Can't get it to work and it is checked on in settings. Is there a trick to it? I've tried face down and face up and only while on outgoing call that is still ringing, not during a connected call. Is that the problem? That would seem weird to me.
Also, when I first started researching phones, one of the first ones I looked at had a feature that when you got a call if you turned it over it would silence the ringer. I have a feeling it was the Moto Droid though. Anyone know if there's an app to do that on the RZD or if I'm mistaken and it has that feature?
From my understanding, u must be in "normal" sound profile for flip speaker to work. Also the ringer does go silent* when u pick it up.
*maybe not silent, but ringer does get alot lower
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
It's in normal.
I haven't noticed that with the ringing but I'm thinking more of a silence the phone and ignore it sort of situation. Like if I'm at work or with a friend and the phone rings I can just turn it over and it will stop.
Mine works. I accidently got it to work actually. Sat the phone down while talking to someone then all of a sudden they got loud. Everytime I have tried it sense it has work.
was one of the first things I discovered on my rezound, and I love it. I use it quite often actually haha. There is a setting in the menu to enable or disable it, as well as the silence if you move the phone while it's ringing.
Settings > Sound settings under incoming calls
I used to have these extra settings checked, but i read somewhere that it drains the battery faster. Maybe the sensors detecting the orientation of the phone causes some battery drain, but im not positive about that.
It works really well on mine. If there's a battery issue, maybe you want to check what power settings you're in. I keep mine in performance, since that also seems to cause less problems with 4G turning off. Also check if your sensors are working, maybe with a tilt game or something similar. I've had it on the whole time and it doesn't seem like I get less battery life than what people report, at least not obviously.
Just tested this out, and it seems like the speaker phone flip and silence ringer flip only work when the phone is on a flat surface. The phone lowers the volume of the ring when you pick it up, but mutes it completely if you flip it face down on a flat surface. The speakerphone works the same way, at least I couldn't get it to activate without putting the phone down.

I tested the muting the rings when you turn it over and that worked, then when I answered it my friend hung up! She didn't know the second part of the test. lol. Then our food came and we stuffed our faces. Then we had to go to a stupid 3 hour safety training class that didn't apply to our department AT ALL. Oh well...
I wonder if it needs the sensor covered up as well as being turned over, the one that makes the screen turn off when you hold it to your ear.
Yep, I think that's it. If you turn it over and don't lay it on a table no speakerphone, but if you then just cover that sensor with your hand it goes to speakerphone. Problem with this function is when you turn it back over speakerphone turns off. Guess I'll just turn on speakerphone the old fashioned cumbersome way. Was hoping to just be able to flip it over and back. Oh well.

I have a small lamp desk beside my bed and I leave my transformer charging on top of the desk. I only notice this in my bedroom, (I guess its quiet and the sound bounce off the wooden desk)
The electronic buzz and hissing sound bothered me, and I couldnt figure out if it was my laptop, cell or the phone. It was loud enough to disturb me whenever it decided to hiss. (hisses for 5~15 seconds randomly sometimes every 2 minute, sometimes more/less often)
Turns out it was the prime. If you put your ear on the back of the tablet, you will really hear it. (top left corner looking it from the back is where it makes the most noise)
Is this a defective prime or is everyone like this. I am not sure if this has to do with the .13 update because I didn't hear the sound when I first got the prime.
Could you guys check your prime and please tell me this is normal/not normal

Do you have your phone near the Transformer? Phones interfere with amplifiers and can generate buzzing noise in the speakers (it sounds like old school phone modem). I use it to detect phone calls before the phone starts calling.

THIS!
Seriously, now. It could be the phone as somebody suggested. Specifically you cellphone, or pager (or any wireless communication device within 1 - 2 meters away)
It could also be due to the update. How's your battery life? Some are reporting that Audio_out is intermittently waking up during sleep. That's another item to consider.
I think it's Asus' hardware fix for the poor wireless. They filled the new ones with messenger bees. They fly out of your HDMI port to hand deliver data packets.

Sorry, I know this was a serious thread, just couldn't resist.I am trying to see if I have the sound described, but it's a bit loud where I am ATM. Will check tonight at home.
I hear the ever-so-slightest whisper along most of the top-end of mine. Along the bottom however, nothing.
Certainly would never have heard this without everything cut off and the Prime almost wedged into my ear lol
So, wonder what it is.
At first I thought this was about the issue of feedback when not playing audio but keeping the Prime plugged in to a 3.5mm jack. MicroHDMI of course exhibits no such behavior. But it's not, so I don't even know why I'm mentioning it
*EDIT:
Much worse when plugged in. Still not very noticeable. Just sounds like static from the speaker to me, I now hear it best right under the speaker grille (that is beneath, not directly behind).
Put me in the "can't hear a damn thing" category. Not a single hiss.
Is it possible to do this on the Lumia 800? When you test the vibration diagnostic, it's much stronger than the standard vibration. I can't even hear it vibrate or feel it on my desk.
Anyone?
Nope, it's either on or off.

Albeit a tad late, I feel that the vibration is a joke and if I put the phone on vibrate (e.g during a class) I'll have trouble feeling text messages at all. I need to be in a completely quiet environment to have any chance to feel the vibration (in my jeans) compared to my old Galaxy S where I could with the default setting have no trouble at all feeling when a text pops in.
I completley agree! The vibration is way too weak to feel if you are wearing jeans or even just put it on the desk. Not to mention, if you "dress it up" in the provided silicone case, it`s practically unnoticable.
I work at an office, where we keep our phones silent out of curtesy to each other the whole day long. I am missing 90% of my calls, texts and Messenger messages. You cannot feel/hear it vibrate with the standard office noise as abackground.
This is pretty much my only complaint about the phone (now that they`ve fixed battery life with 12070).
