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.

Bracelet, watch, wear it while driving, in a meeting, at the movies. . . . .
And if you don't want to tie up yout bluetooth, there is this gizmo:

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?
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.
Is it just me or the vibrate function on the SGS2 is VERY VERY weak even at max vibration level ?
lol. I think its only you. The vibrate on my GS II is so long and strong, its annoying.
Every whatsapp or gg talk or email, there is a loooong notification vibration.
I wish someone could find a solution to shorten this vibration. Hopefully with the introduction of AOSP roms.
The most annoying thing with vibration in SGS2 is this strange sound. Bzzz... Strange.

I share same feelings, considering phone in my pocket sometimes I cant feel it vibrate at all.
More annoying thing is the pouch case (suncase) Ive recently purchased, it doesnt have an opening for speaker at bottom, which mutes the ringing sound in 90% and somewhat it reduces vibration effect.
At busy street = no sound, little vibration = I usually end up with 10+ missed calls per day :/

When the phone is in my pocket and Im walking, there is ZERO chance for me to know if anyone sent me a message, they would have to call me.. They need to make the vibrate of the phone about 2-3x stronger and 3x longer or have different profiles vibrate.
Oh yeah, I don't feel the phone vibrate too. There are three annoying things about this phone and the weak vibration is the third.
1. Pathetic battery life
2. Home button delay
3. Weak vibration

All 3 (for me anyway) aren't true.
Battery has lasted me 20 hours from full charge with medium usage and I'm now at 16% and that's pretty damn good from my previous phones.
Home button is very quick
My phone vibrates so strong, I'm pretty sure it could buzz its way through a tree.

For the sms notification, you can always use handcent. Its a replacement app for the sms app. It usually has good reviews and u can set the vibration.

+1 actually find the vibration quite invasive/annoying. And thats on halfway setting
As for the battery, i have no problems, neither does my fiance , who also has sgs2.
Only time ive experienced home button delay was when i had a lockscreen replacement installed.

I am unlucky on this, I have just realised that vibration does not work on my device, neither the haptic feedback! I went to test menu *#0*# and chose vibrate but it does not work I made a small research on the net and it seems that I am not the only one, many users are having this problem. I hope it's not a hardware problem.
Edit: İ am now dissapointed because when İ go to vibra motor test mode by dialing *#0842# the vibration does not work here neither or with *#7353# menu.
Any ideas?

I guess my nerves always needed stronger stimulation, but vibration in my unit doesnt even tickle... unless I'm owning faulty device.
I cant imagine hearing/feeling msg at concert, when there is so much vibes and noise around me.

Hmm, been at a cpl of concerts lately, and noticed all the texts.saying that...i do text alot, so maybe im actually more alert to it? Dunno

the vibration intensity option in the settings is for the haptic feedback vibration. it has nothing to do with call/text vibration.
i also find the vibration extremely weak on my phone. i miss most of my alerts even when I'm sitting at my office with the phone in my pocket
Well having it at the front pocket may make a difference as compared to having it on your side pockets or when your wearing jeans and walking/moving.
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.

I understand the settings are either on or off but is it possible to gain registry access or alter it if it's unlocked?
The vibration is absolute garbage.
Nope, no registry access possible at current time.
Must admit, I find the vibration to be fine though. Guess it's personal preference more than anything.

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).
Don't know if this is s problem or a 'feature' but when i call my nokia7.1 from another phone i can hear 2 rings in the earpiece of the calling phone before, on the third ring, the Nokia springs to life and starts ringing and display the notification.
Is this normal? Is there anything i can do to make Nokia ring immediately?
my other, non-nokia phones, all ring as soon as i hear the ring tone in the phone from which i ring them.
Hope someone can suggest something as I'm missing some calls because of this.
Thanks

not 100% sure, but i think i have this too. just got the phone though, and haven't been able to test it with multiple callers...
very annoying

I've got a lot of friends who are too impatient to wait for more than 2 rings before hanging up. I've been telling people to ring me on WhatsApp since this seems to ring immediately. Not impressed with this 'feature'
