INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

THE VIBRATION STRENGTH IN THE DIAGNOSTIC MODE IS MUCH STRONGER THAN THAT OF WHICH YOU GET WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL OR SMS!

 

CAN THIS PLEASE BE ADDRESSED!

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

I second this request. Vibration during call is very weak and it's pretty much useless.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

The strength of vibration in the diag app vs. receiving a call feels about the same to me, however the call one being two pulses would be less noticeable.

I would say leave the strength untouched, but keep the vibration going when the phone is ringing.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

It certainly does need a revisit in a future f/w update. Not good enough the way it is now.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

Agreed - it's far too weak as it is.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

I think RussU has it.. the strength is not too bad; although a bit stronger would be better this is probably limited by the hardware. However if you use a longer ringtone the vibration only happens at the very start so is very easily missed. If you're on vibe only it happens twice then as long as severrraaaalllllllllll seconds before any further notification that your phone is going off!

A higher occurrence of vibe would probably sort most people out on this one.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

Please tell me I'm not in the minority here?  The vibration strength is rediculous!  In my office I can't even hear it, my colleagues Sensation XL is fine (actually, it's about the same as every other phone I've used).

 

When you test it in the diagnostic application, it's much stronger that it is on the standard alert.  Come on Nokia, it surely can't be that difficult to adjust.

 

Is no-one else finding this a bit of a nightmare?!

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

This is a major issue and Nokia is doing nothing about it. Not even a word on this forum. When Apple had their antenna problem with the IPhone 4, they offered refund to their customers, even though you could use the phone normally by just holding it differently. People have been talking about this issue for years (search "nokia weak vibrate" on Google), but the problem remains.

 

Because of this problem, you are not notified of incoming calls when in vibrator mode (ie most of the time, for me). So you're left with a phone you use for outgoing calls only. This is a more serious issue than Apple's poorly designed antenna.

 

When I put my phone in my pocket and that I call myself from another phone, I can't feel anything at all, even though I know it's vibrating (I can check it by putting my hand inside my pocket), even though I carefully pay attention to it. I don't even hear the sound of the vibrations, even in a silent environment.

 

I just bought my phone (Nokia 700) and feel ripped off. It's like I just trashed 300 dollars. The specs says the phone has a vibrator, but it's as if there were no vibrator at all. I rely mostly on the vibrator, so this phone is useless for me. I will never, never buy a Nokia anymore.

Re: INCREASE VIBRATION STRENGTH!

I think the vibration strength is great. Its great that I don't 'hear' the phone vibrating, especially when it is on the desk. I agree though that maybe there could be more pulses of vibration when a call is coming in.
