Strong vibration creating noise - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive just got a samsung galaxy s 2, my question is has anyone else noticed that the vibration is really strong so much so that it creates another sound from the phone?

Yes, at least for me, the phone turns into a pneumatic hammer when it vibrates... phone goes for repair :/

Oh yours sounds more serious i guess. It jus sounds as if the vibration is major strong. Like the sound is vibrating against the back panel or something i guess. Wondering if its just a characteristic when thd intensith is high. Ive lowered the intensity and downloaded a vibration app which together eliminate the problem

This is usually not a harware fault, but the way the software was created.
In some ROMs you can go to settings>sound and change the intensity of the harptic feadback or just disable it completely.

the vibration on this particular phone is new to me, i dont get any back panel vibrations in the haptic feedback setting,but when i use rotary lockscreen and move the rotary slowly to put it on silent mode it makes a strong vibration and makes a distorted humming sound.

Yea thats right repub, using the haptic feedback is nice but when you lower the volume to vibrate mode or use a toggle switch wudget to vibrate mode theres like a vibrate noise aswell as sonethibg else right? This is the noise of how strong the vibration is i think bouncing off the back panel or battery etc

[Q] Change notification vibration intensity (back to default)

As long as I've owned my phone (~ 1 month), my notification vibrate has been great. If it was on a hard table, it was loud enough to scare the crap out of me, but more importantly, I could easily feel it in my pocket. Recently, apparently after turning off the notification vibrate for a little while (so that I could leave it on a table without jumping), the vibration intensity is extremely weak. I makes a small buzz on a table, and I can't even begin to feel it in my pocket unless the screen is facing out (which sounds like a great way to get a cracked screen).
Changing the vibration intensity under the settings only changes the haptic feedback intensity, not the notification intensity. I can't find a setting for that anywhere - has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know the solution?
apparently (from what i've gathered) the haptic feedback intensity controls the vibration intensity for the ENTIRE phone. So make sure your intensity is all the way up before you turn off haptic feedback otherwise your vibration will be extremely weak.
I saw that looking through old threads. I usually have haptic feedback on and the intensity set at about halfway, but maxing it has no effect on notifications.
One other note - it seems that my incoming call vibration is strong. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure if it had dropped and is now back to where it was, or if it stayed at the same level while my notification level dropped.
Opposite Effect
Anyone confirm this or is there some other way to adjust the global vibration? Mine is way too strong and rattles the volume buttons on my phone. My girlfriend and her two daughters also have Vibrants and I've compared mine with all of theirs. Mine is extremely intense. My girlfriend joked about borrowing it for a while.
Anyone know of anything I can do? A service menu or something? I've been searching and this thread is the best I could find.

can vibrate on my phone act as bass? instead of one boring intensity

I was wondering if an app could be developed that would let the vibrate on my phone to act kinda like a bass speaker instead of the same boring intensity of vibration that goes with the beat of my ringtone
That is quite an amazing idea, thigh I Wuould he afraid that it would fry the vibration.

I c would be pretty cool
Well in handcent you can change the frequency of the vibration, so you could customize your texts a bit. Don't know of anything for calls.

Notification Vibration Duration

I know if rhymes well. Anyone know how to decrease the duration of the vibration during notifications? Sounds like a truck passing by if phone is sitting on a hard surface and a notification comes in. I just want a short buzz, not something that threatens my glassware.
Settings > Sound > Vibration intensity.
It wont change the duration, but it won't be as intense. I'm not sure how you can chage the duration on stock, sorry.

Hellyeah.. vibration duration is very very annoying. I just came from CM7 to UnNamed and the long vibration on notification is REALLY annoying.

Vibration, what vibration!

Just got my galaxy S3 and im loving every second of it, BUT
the vibration is so "low" i cant feel it vibrate in my pocket compared to the HTC HD2 at all. is this normal. is there any way to make the vibration "feelable" if thats a word.
i had at least 7 miss calls with vibration on and i didnt feel none of them at all. you may say put the ringtone on. but i was in a situation where putting a ringtone on would not be right so i put it to vibration mode and i didnt feel jack all.
even with the ringtone on the vibration cannot be felt! so disappointed
any tips would help

can you feel the phones vibration in your pocket?
Pretty sure you can turn up vibration intensity in settings.

Settings --> Sound --> Vibration intensity. If you're still missing them on max intensity make some longer custom vibration notifications for your apps, be less likely to miss those (inbuilt feature).

As others have pointed out, you can turn up intensity in settings, mine was on full and almost too much!

[Q] Poweramp Pro full volume phone vibration on SGS3?...

Does anyone else have their phone vibrating as the music plays with the volume all the way up on Poweramp Pro?...I have searched as much as I can and I am now turning to you guys to see if there is something I am missing in the settings...It seems like it will drain the battery to have the vibrator going to the beat of the music the whole time it's playing...With two presses of volume down it stops...Only when the volume is all the way up does it do this...Is there a setting on the phone or in the app that I can turn this off?...
Yes go into settings sound and turn auto haptic feedback off

I see now...Thanks...It's the auto haptic on/off that fixes this...I didn't know that it would allow you you check and uncheck apps so I have unchecked it now...I'm coming from an EvO 3D so this is my first taste of ICS...I am amazed at the amount of settings ICS has...
Yeah ics is super Dev. Friendly
