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…

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 !!!

Me too, I started with a new FP6 and on installation it was updated to 15.148.0, so I have no compare. Today I set notification only to vibration and wonder that I noted nothing in my pocket. As I looked later on my phone there are notifications. So I play with the settings. I put all settings to…

This does seem to work! Although it is still quite weak unfortunately

I have never had any issues with the vibration on a phone before, but the vibration in the Fairphone 6 (my first Fairphone) seems to be low quality. I don’t have any issues with the strength, it’s more the quality of it. The vibration doesn’t give you that nice vibrate-y feedback, instead it just se…

I turned haptics on after reading this thread:) I certainly wouldn’t want it any stronger then max, but understand some like it. I came from an older Android version that had the 3 bottom buttons, triangle, circle and square, on as standard/only option. Really couldn’t like the fussy swipe to go …

I think there is a bug where the other vibrations overrides the other e.g. Notification vibration settings, when NOT within that setting menu. Turn the Media vibration to max in the haptics / vibration settings menu, and the notification to Max too, send yourself some test notifications from anothe…

Hi! Thanks for the tip, it also solved the issue for me. I really hope Fairphone will fix this soon in a OTA update :crossed_fingers:t3:

Ridiculously bad haptics/vibration?
