Hey guys, I noticed that the phone's vibration is isn't particularly powerful and doesn't vibrate for any good length of time. Like it will vibrate for maybe quarter of a second, then nothing ,then vibrate again and the vibration is self I have a hard time noticing when I'm walking or doing anything other than siting still

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.
I turned off all vibrate settings but I get random vibrate incoming calls. I tried phone right side up, face down, no ideas.
I've noticed this too but it seems to happen at certain battery level intervals. Not sure if it's just meant to warn me and I'm missing a message on the screen at the time or what.
My battery is full. I had my wife test call me multiple times and it did it once.i dint know what changed to make it do it but its an annoyance to me
Hi
I'm using SG2 on KF3 india stock firmware
I noticed a weird bug,
When vibration is set to always on mode, and Motion controls (Turn over) are set to On, when the phone is place on flat surface like sofa,bed,pillow or anyother flat surface,there is no sound or vibration for incoming call and messages.
if at all that comes,vibration or sound is coming only for 1-2 sec,then phone goes to silent
This happeing with Vibration only in silent mode also, once in a while its completely vibrating ,other wise phone vibrating for two times then going to silent mode
When Turn Over setting in Motion is disabled,then its completely fine,
is this normal with Turn Over feature, If yes, then i'm done with motion controls
Its so annoying for me,as i need vibration always,coz when phone is trouser pocket,ringtone is not audible,so i need vibration to know for sms and incoming calls, in this case,when phone is on sofa or bed,i'm completely blindfolded about my calls and sms as there is no ringtone
anyway to get this over?
Any one else faced this issue?
No, I do not have this problem.
I have also both turned on - vibration and motion controls.
Do you have tested the turn over in settings - motion controls - turn over?
And do you already tried to calibrate sensors?
In settings - display - horizontal calibration and gyro-sensor calibration.
If this does not help, you really should set priority and use silent mode.
Same here
I've the same issue..
Im on xxkh3 right now. I've tried calibrating and also Ive tested several different versions of firmware. Nothing changed.
It's quite annoying, knowing that only some of us have this, makes it worse. Maybe it is a hadrware defect??
Edit : BTW, there is already a thread for this :

This seems like it should be a non-issue, yet here I am.
Here is the problem. My (and I will assume all) S3's suffer from a vibration that isn't all that strong. I am coming from an archaic HD2 and everything is great with the s3 cept the HD2's vibrate could...ya know..be felt!
I have mine turned to the max but its still barely able to be felt. To make matters worse, the duration of the vibrate when I get a text or email is VERY short. When I get a text for instance, the phone vibrates for less than 2 full seconds and I miss stuff all the time. I tried different vibrate patterns but it still only vibrates for those two seconds. After creating a custom pattern I realized these vibrate patterns only take affect for incoming calls, not texts or emails.
So how on Earth (please tell me there is a way) do I increase the duration of the vibrate for texts? (emails I can live without but a 2 second vibrate when I get a text isn't going to cut it when the max vibration is so mild).
Hi,
First time poster and I registered just to see if I can get this question answered. My issue is that I really hate that when I change from sound to mute via the vibrate icon in the pull-down taskbar that it actually vibrates. I also hate that it vibrates when I push the volume putton down towards mute.
If im lying in bed with the Mrs and not wanting to wake her while I browse my phone i want to be able to go from sound to mute and when passing through vibrate that it actually doesnt vibrate (I dont need to be told im on that setting). There is an app called mute to do this but I wish I could disable the vibrate when changing profiles entirely. The icon tells me whether it is on vibrate or not without needing to vibrate to tell me I have moved onto the vibrate setting!! Same goes for during a meeting when I am toggling one way or the other i want to do it without making a noise. I know I could use the power button to go to silent mode but I prefer to use the dropdown menu.
With my iPhone I could have just changed a text file or something but I guess its different with android?
So essentially I only want my phone to vibrate when I am getting an alert like a call, text message, calendar alert etc and not when Im cycling through my sound profiles. Maybe Im weird and this doesnt bother anybody else but it would be great to hear if this is possible to hack?
Thanks
David
