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?

Probably not. Hardware stuff. If you have the phone on your desk, can't you just see it?

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...
Had the iphone 4s before this..
Vibrating like crazy

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.

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.
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.

New to Thunderbolt. Came from dinc 2. Dinc2 has a sensor on the ear piece that disables screen when on the phone. Does Thunderbolt have this? I haven't noticed... Also any known issues with this phone no matter what rom would nice to know (ie : dinc 2 speaker phone isn't to loud.) ***NOTE: I am aware of the battery life lol I have an extended battery life to help ***

Yes the TB has a sensor to turn screen off when held to ear.
No known issues with the TB in general, other then sub par battery life on stock Rom

Thanks! It must be the rom I'm using then because when heald close, screen doesnt go off until 30 secs or so. then when I move it away, it stays off.
Well it's not the rom. Is there a option to enable it somewhere? I'm using bamf forever 1.10. Also I noticed that sounds like turning volume up sound low at first, then you press it again and it's loud. Like, I unlock and volume is really low, then I lock and it's normal sound. Any ideas?

Well fixed the sensor issue. I got a air compressor and blew out the ear piece for dust.

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.

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).
Honestly i dont have a big problem with this but sometimes when i set alarm or get a msg(apart from notification light) i dont hear clear sound of it ringing cause it back is covered.. For me is sometimes annoying but idk is it a problem for u?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well, I can deal with it. But my notification volume is always near max because of this.
I'd like phone designers to do something about it.
I remember some old mid-range Nokia phones that had better STEREO sound you could enjoy listening music with.
You would expect this too from an expensive modern phone.
I don't have a problem with it - the vibration alone across my desk is enough to make me jump when I'm focusing on something else.
Lol its just that im not kinda good with it.. Its not a problem its sometimes annoying
