Weird vibrate notification - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Had any one of you note2 users encountered problems with vibrate?
The vibrate works fine for phone calls with or without sound but once I get notifications with or without sound half of them randomly will be normal vibrations while the rest will vibrate as if the phone isn't getting enough power. It's not a constant vibrate.
It's very annoying. Has anyone one of you experienced this before? Do you think I should unroot and lock it and send to VZW?

The note II is equipped with custom vibrations. Go to system settings>sounds>device vibration and change it from there.

Mine does there beyond rarely on jellybeans. I chalked it up to a bug as it doesn't happen often and never happened on my phone before.

No that's only for the ringtone. My notifications sound like the phone is dying and can't vibrate.
I think I might have to consider contacting VZW.

Oh gotcha. on that problem, it might be hardware. Have you dropped your phone. May have unseated the vibration device. lil half disk that spins. Not sure where it's found under the casing. Haven't taken a Note II apart yet. Maybe when I kill this one to get the Note III i'll pull it apart.

I have the same problem, on full stock I dont remember this being an issue but I didn't stay on stock for longer than 6 hours.
Mine doesn't necessarily sound like its dying as much as the vibration is either extremely weak or extremely strong. It varies from app to app; for instance my keyboard is in between, my email app (Aquamail) barely has any vibration after being set to vibrate and ring when receiving a message, and the eBay app has an extremely strong vibration that's easily stronger than any of the other apps vibrations. Even stock SMS and phone apps vibrations arent as strong as the eBay app.
I've begun to wonder if it has something to do with the rom instead of the phone, like I said earlier I didnt notice this until I flashed Cleanrom ACE.

Many notifications have different vibrate values - if that makes sense.
For example, I can tell when I'm at work and get a notification what it is based on the vibrate. I know when I have a snapchat waiting
I like it and consider it a feature.

No this is different. for the same notification it vibrates differently at different times.

See I knew they had different values but the values for the same app are constantly changing for me no matter what I set it to in the apps that allow custom vibrations. The only one that seems to be consistent is the call vibration but I don't get enough calls to be able to know for sure.

I had that problem when I was using Saber Kernel, and I stopped having that problem when I switched kernels. Not saying it's a kernel issue, but it could be.

You guys know that you can change the vibration intensity for different things, right? It's under sound settings.

Yes, the thing is it either doesn't work or the vibration strength isn't consistent. It is all over the board with the same notification. I can get 3 texts in a row and each vibration will be completely different.

Text messages being read out loud.. help

Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

Defintiely did not install any app or let anyone install anything on my phone.
Again, it happened while I was playing robo defense, I received a text and it read it out loud while i was playing. It then started to read them no matter what.
Just did a factory reset. Hopefully that fixed it.

Same here!
I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

Problem answering incoming calls

I have noticed an issue with incoming calls. If the phone is locked (not password or pattern locked, mind you, just locked via the power button) I cannot answer incoming calls. It will allow me to slide the green phone icon as if I can answer, but then it immediately hands up and alerts me that I have a missed call. The problem does not seem to happen when the phone isn't locked, but how often does the phone ring when you have it out, looking at it?
FWIW, I am running SnowJBv1.1 no other tweaks have been done.
Any ideas?

Also on snowjb 1.1 with no additional tweaks... 8 incoming phone calls over the 3 days I've now been on this ROM, all came in with phone idle/locked, not using any security (pin/pattern/face) and all were answerable just fine...

This may be a crazy idea, but what lock screen effect are you using? I was using dew drop, and I may have isolated the problem to this effect. When I use "none" as the effect, the problem seems better...

well, after a few days of trouble shooting...i have no idea. i cannot answer the phone when an incoming call wakes it up from lock. if i happen to be using it and it is unlocked, then i can asnwer. this is regardless of what type of lockscreen i use. dewdrop, pattern, slide...
i even tried reflashing to see if that might be the culprit. no dice.
anyone see anything like this or have any other ideas?

[Q] Vibrate strength

Can anyone comment on how strong the vibrate is on the S4? I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and am looking for something stronger. Thanks.
you can actually set how strong you want the vibration to be on the S4. I keep it at max and it works fine for me. I can even hear it faintly from across the room which also helps.

Oh wow that is awesome. Is it configurable by Tasker? That would make it even better.
If you flash the KT-SGS4 Kernel you can set the vibration strength anywhere from 5-130% within it's settings app.

I assume it can be configurable with Tasker since its a standard setting, but i've never used Tasker so i'm not positive. Someone else can confirm or deny.
Going back to my Eris days, all phones have at least ten times intensity as that one. S4 has a pretty solid vibrate. :thumbup:

I flashed the Google Edition ROM to my S4 and the first thing I noticed was a huge increase in haptic feedback, it has me thinking that there can be a mod out there somewhere to increase the settings more than what the stock settings will allow. if anyone finds or develops anything, please send me a link .
I am so close to having my S4 perfectly modded to my flavor...at least for this week.

Notification light after wifi calling

Does anyone have the same annoying issue, after making a wifi call the notification light comes on as soon as you hang up.... It's rather annoying.

[Q] SOLVED Switching between calls ?

I feel kind of stupid but I used to have a swap button and now I seem to only have a record button and can't switch when I take a second call. Am I missing something, this seems to be the case in the regular dialer and in rocketdial

I'm going to help get this back to the top cause I have the same problem. Not sure when the swap button went away but I'm sure it was there at one point. I can not find anywhere in the settings that would change this. Only things I have done is root via chain fire method, install twrp, flashed freeza's crt animation mod for the native wifi tether and his beastmode kernel. Have you done any of this? I would love my swap button back but instead I have to hang up with both callers then call back whoever it is I want to continue talking to and it is really getting irritating. Anyone have any ideas or the same issue?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Thank you. I don't feel so alone and dumb now. I rooted using the other knox safe method dela root and odined the same file in that post although my baseband and software say mi3 and the build says mi5. With calls that is the exact problem I have. I can now record a conversation when its on speaker phone but dont need that. Only other thing I downloaded was rocketdial for a while I thought that was it but uninstalled and have the same problem
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I am finding it hard to believe out of 200 views we are the only ones with this problem. I let my phone update to mj4 before I rooted it. Have you installed the crt animations or a new kernel? We seem so far apart in what we have done to be able to make sense of this.

Hope the bump helps. I don't have the issue you described, but I am with Sprint on MJ4 - what root did you use?
Dela vega. Lets try this does everyone else have a swap button in the top left position or does it say record. Or do you have a record button that switches to swap when you answer a second call
And nothimg else installed for me

Its hard to tell because I reset with De la vegas again. But the first thing noticed n Wanum was the record button checked and unchecked it calls work fine now.
Finally got to mess with the phone and wanam was definition the culprit. I can now swap between calls again. The issue I still have and not sure what happens on the stock rom, when I want to hang up with one person I tap end them it doesn't switch me back to the person on hold. Instead it acts as if someone is calling me and then have to answer the phone where that person had been on hold the whole time. Hope this makes sense.

Did you just disable the module this is frustrating I never noticed until today when I tried switching back to the first call I had on hold
It's under the phone tab. Uncheck add record button or something like that. Should work. I have since installed a rom so not 100%. Let me know if it doesn't work and I will reinstall it to see if I can find it.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I wish we could have both. I want call recording but also want swap. I use swap so little however that I live without it.
what I want is behind the scenes fully transparent over any connection bluetooth or speaker call recording in the background fully automatic.
I had this on my Touch Pro 2 (windows mobile) and its one feature I really really miss. it just "always" worked.
