Hi all, thanks for reading this post! I’ve been using my Fairphone6 a couple of days now. I love the idea of fairphone in general and besides from a few minor inconveniences I am generally satisfied with it’s performance. Except: I’ve noticed the vibration is exceptionally bad. I put all settings on…

Welcome to the forum! I don’t know whether it matters if you are on Fairphone stock Android or on e/OS, but perhaps you could check this: [image] Vibration does not work I’ve got the fairphone 6 with /e/OS 3.0.4. I discoverd without doing a reset, an option was switched to “on”, which should n…

For me it’s weak too unfortunately :confused: I like a strong feedback while typing but it is just not there.

This is indeed normal, for a Fairphone. Best is to complain to FP support. Then maybe the next FP will have a better vibration motor. Do realize that such an upgrade in the next model will mean a higher price. It does not come for free. And Fairphones are already expensive. They likely made this dec…

I have the same issue. Had there been any response from the support team?

Yep. Vibration is definitely more discreet than FP3, my last one. It helps to go to Settings > Accessibility (all the way down) > Vibration and Haptics, and set the vibration for the thing you want to be higher than it is currently (I think it’s on a scale to 3 and default is 2). It still not very…

Just a first reply to do basic checks and such to which I replied a week ago @koumilak can yours reproduce mine that turning it to the top one seems better momentarily but if you receive notifications it actually drops down in power once you leave the menu

Me too, i like strong typing feedback. Its there if you contact the phone with a table for resonance. I think the feeback signal is too short !!!

Ridiculously bad haptics/vibration?
