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.

SMS notification vibrate is pretty weak and its just like a 1 time vibrate, wish they had some vibration pattern choices.

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.
Hey guys
I have a very strange sound distortion (not a regular one). Sometimes at a very random frequent, my phone produce this strange sound distortion its like an electric surge sound. It happens during calls as well as when playing media files. It just block the source sound from media files or voice from calls. Sometimes it goes by it self (it stays for some seconds) and sometimes I have to pull the battery to fix.
Things I noticed,, it happens on stock rom as well as cooked roms. My evo is GSM version bought from UK. I have a feeling that it happens from the network but im not sure
Any help would be appreciated
edit: It happens when I touch the screen, the sound distortion comes if I flip my finger left and right the distortion get stronger until there are no sounds at all.
edit2: It seems turning airplane mode on then off solve the problem for good period of time (phone been working good for more than 10 hours now without this problem occuring again, but I know it will come back :S )
come on guys

You're upset because people didn't respond to you for two hours in the ass hours of the morning?
But seriously, it sounds like poor grounding on a speaker or the touch screen or something. Might want to get a replacement. It'll probably get worse over time.
We have different time.
Anyway I found that turning airplane mode on solve it for a while.
I'm not sure what is it right now :S
Is it touch screen, radio, speaker or even stock kernel.

I would still look at getting it replaced. That could be some bad shielding on the speaker if you're not getting buzzing when the radios are off.

Thanks m8,
It's hardly reproduceable after turning the airplane mode on and off. It's working good from my last reply.
I don't know what to do when I ship it back. As it may not happen without a sim card.

You should be able to exchange it under warranty. Usually they don't require you to send the sim card back, I don't believe.
Second day with no problems after using airplane mode.
I can't return this device if I can't reproduce the problem.

keeping it on airplane mode doesnt solve the problem and besides you can make or recieve text messages or calls? Pretty much rendering the phone useless. take back to store sounds like a hardware problem.

I dont keep on airplane I just turn it on then off right away.
For all those lucky enough to have their hands on a Rezound, please post any problems you are noticing (dropping calls, bad bluetooth, rebooting, etc).
SERIOUS Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Heat Issues (130+ degrees)
2) Dead Pixels
Other Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Since the SD Card now shows as "SD Card 2" many apps which do not know to look for that as the true SD card will not find items on your SD Card.
2) Birthday integration from facebook (birthday in the people app shows a day early) [SAME AS ON INCREDIBLE]
4) A high pitched whine while listening to music through headphones [MANY people have this]
5) The soft buttons turn pink
Other Raised Issues But May Be User/Phone Specific Rather than Common:
1) Notification sounds change seemingly at random
2) Light leakage on the bottom underneath the capacative buttons
If you are having any problems, please head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359862
and post your problem and your manufacture date/batch number. Maybe we can figure out if these are just for a specific batch of phones.
Thanks!

Not sure if its supposed to go out, but my red soft keys dont stay lit, or light up sometimes. I think i may just be looking at them wanting them to glow? When i first saw them, i wasnt gonna get it. It bothered me that much. But when they light up, it is not bothersome at all. I really like it. Glad i just bought it and didnt let my mind get set against it. As i type this, they are out. Not sure if its sone sort or battery saving thing? They aeem to light up randomly?

I think turning off the 4g radio helps this phone a lot. Under networks, go into network settings then preferred and you can set it to cdma or lte/cdma.

basically you didn't really do much of anything with the phone in that time. id like to see much battery drain there is with it constantly using 4g data w/ the screen on the whole time, for 3 hours. my Thunderbolt would die before the 3 hour mark(stock battery).
Batteries can be replaced with extended batteries. While very important, would still like to hear if there are reboot problems or Bluetooth problems or anything else.

nah, just like on the incredible, they work based off ambient light. tunr off all lights or cover the area by the ear piece, they'll come on. turn on a light and put the phone under said light, they'll turn off.

Awesome. With 4G off I am sure it can be manageable. Can't wait to get this phone in 2 weeks.
no prob man..haha on some of the later sense 2/3 hybrid incredible roms, devs couldnt figure out how to turn them off and use the ambient light sensor....so they were stuck on lol
believe me, when i first got my inc, i had no idea why it did that either until someone explained it to me too

Doesn't work quite that way for me, to be honest. I was sitting outside in the dark tonight, and they would just not come on sometimes. Most frequently, when I unlocked the phone and explored the home screen, they would stay off. But sitting here now, in a lit room, they do the same thing. Let the phone sit for a bit, and on they come. Weird.
It does seem like an issue to me. Just an annoyance.
Have not tried Bluetooth functionality yet. No random reboots yet. Had trouble getting Wifi to work at the house. Turns out I put the wrong MAC address in my wireless router MAC filter list. User error on that one.

Not sure if this is worth it's own thread... guess I'll just post it here. I've heard some questions elsewhere about weight. I weighed the Thunderbolt and Rezound. Here are the weights I measured.
Rezound - 170 g.
Thunderbolt - 195 g.
So the Rezound is still a hefty boy. Not as hefty as the Thunderbolt, though.
Maybe you've got a defective one? They're supposed to work based on ambient lighting. Thats weird.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
They do, I bet if he covered it with his finger it'd go on, then go off when directly next to a light (each for several seconds).
A problem is often HTC's settings for ambient light aren't the best, and they won't go on at a relatively dark area because there is a light off in the distance that it picks up.
I do believe there is a few second delay after determining if it's dark or light, so that it doesn't rapidly flicker when changing from light to dark areas.
My HTC incredible did the same thing, and the TB did too. No surprise to hear this
Exactly. Haha
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
One other thing about the capacitive buttons. Unless I have defective ones, they aren't exactly "red" when lit up. They look more like hot pink.
Personally, I don't mind. I roll with a green theme, and the pink is a nice subtle clash to the green and complement to the black bezel. If you're unlike me and are afraid of sporting a phone with pink buttons when it's lit up, I guess this should worry you.
hmm..all the videos i've seen looked red..interesting.
maybe that'll be like the ol famous 'pink hue' problem from our amoled incs! haha osme had it, some didn't

I think most pics posted online show it in the unlit state, where there is definitely a dark red color. I guess when lit, it's more like Magenta than pink... if you can tell the difference.
Odds are I'm the only one curious but, how's the quality on the earbuds that come with the phone?
Are they comparable to any of the models they sell?
Also as of now does it seem like most developers are holding out for the nexus? Seems to be the impression I am getting - sticking to my Thunderbolt for now...
Anyone ever get a really low, faint ringing sound on the mopho?
but it is not the ringer...and can only seem to be stopped by turning the device off?
thanks in advance?

try downloading "audio manager" from the market. it gives you options to control the different aspects of your phone's sound.
Yes I have run into this issue now a few times. It has happened to my Droid Bionic loaded with a custom rom and a stock rom. Now it just happened with my stock, non rooted, 2 week old Droid Razr Maxx.
The sound comes from the the call speaker and is a continuous ringing. It normally happens to me at night when I am sleeping and the phone is charging, but I have read about it happening to a range of Moto phones regardless of time of day and batt charge.
I'm not too worried about it because a reboot takes care of the issue, but I would still like to see what is making them do it.
My xperia s is normally in silent mode while I'm on my workplace (desk). I feel that vibration is very weak in comparioson to my old HTC Desire. If I have teh phone on my desk I doesn't notice the vibration if a call comes in.
Is there a possibility to increase vibration strength?

I notice the call only if I happened to see at this moment on the phone.
I noticed this also, I always have my phone on silent-vibrate-only and miss it going off in my pocket :/
I noticed this too. Someone sure comes up with mod that bumps the voltage of that little motor.
Same here...

Dont mess up your phone.. just by a vibrator
From joke to revolver. Technically I do not believe that there is a way to increase the vibration, the circuit that allows the motor to spin is set at a standard voltage, hence if you wanted to increase the power or intensity you would have to increase the voltage.
BUT U CAN: tear it apart then and epoxy a little more weight to the off balanced weight.
Or u can manipulating by raising/lowering or stepping the voltage to it is the only way of varying the intensity. How? No idea. But thata all I can think of.
