Has anyone else been missing calls due to weak to weak vibrate?

[orange-man]

So many of the other problems have been well documented, but I find that I am missing calls for lack of strong vibrate. Coming from the Epic, that phone had a very strong vibrate and also a way to adjust vibration intensity. I know this doesn't exist in stock Gingerbread, but has anyone found a workaround app to improve this?

I dont think there is a work around, even if you rooted the phone your not going to get better vibrations.Period. But I would recommend to install NoLed and start reminder for missed calls.

I have the opposite problem where my Vibrate is too loud. Sorry bruh, can't help you.

I don't use vibrate too often, find it to be too weak on ALL the Android phones I have - including the Epic - to be of any real use :: I carry my phone on a belt pouch so this decreases the vibration transmision. My real beef with the Nexus is how quiet the ringtone max volume is, I have misses several calls/messages on moderately noisy environment where my Evo usually comes thru.

I have to agree...I do like the more "hush" vibration from the NS4G. Its loud enough for me to feel it on my belt holster.

Wow, I'm finding just the opposite. I have mine set for vibe ring and when on a solid surface the vibe is louder then the ring.

I've been missing more calls due to the quiet speaker.

Definitely harder vibration on here then the epic. I keep my phone in my back pocket. Never feel phones back there.

If you're having trouble noticing vibrations while you're walking, the app Stopify might help you. Me and a friend wrote this app since we both have the same problem. If you miss a call or sms or a gmail while you are walking, Stopify will wait until you stop and repeat the notification.

It works because you are much more sensitive to vibrations when you're still than when you're walking. Also, since it doesn't repeat notifications if the phone is still, it won't annoy you if it's just lying on a table. Read more about Stopify here if you are interested: Stopify

Interesting fact. Second time this has happened to me. Not sure what cause it.

Vibration gets so weak while using the phone. Touch a button and can barely feel it. Gotta restart and its fixed.

Again not sure what causes it. Its odd though.
