@UPPERCASE about this message I’m now Replying to.I sent in this thread in November - where to me it seems it’s actually a Bug, in which the vibration strength derives from a recently set vibration rather than keeping the higher amount previously set, and therefore can be significantly stronger than it often is functioning.
If you go into Vibration settings and drag it to max you cannot replicate these findings? (Customer care seemed to be not really accepting this is a common issue and suggested a replacement handset)
I have those things set to max, but it’s still weak compared to the FP5, which also had weak haptics. I had a Pixel 10 for a few weeks, that one had excellent haptics. I also don’t feel calls with this FP6 vibration motor.
@UPPERCASE have a look at the few posts just before the one you were quoted in by dwinter. Here is the last lines in dwinter’s previous post, which is the repro for ‘fixing’ the vibration issue, or at least make the vibrator much stronger. At least for us, and seemingly for @remi-dupre too. Don’t know if turning keyboard vibrations off is necessary, but i think the bug is that all the individual intensity settings seem to be ignored, and instead they all follow the lowest setting. So, if you, like us, and probably most users, have “touch feedback” on a low setting, all other vibration settings will be equally low. You have to turn them all to your desired level (set them to max for testing, which is probably what you want anyway, as it’s still not incredibly strong). It’s not ideal that all vibration settings have to be maxed, but it’s a workaround.
Yes, as I mentioned, I have those set to max as well. It’s still weak, even for a Fairphone.
Oh sorry, i misunderstood that.
Haha so weird. There’s definitely something wrong. I guess either hardware or software (bug) is different from phone to phone / firmware. I don’t think it’s possible that anyone can experience the vibration intensity that i / we experienced before the workaround as too strong. Seems likely that some or one of the settings overwrites the others – maybe specifically the touch feedback, and those complaining about too much intensity have the one overruling the others set to max or close to, while trying to adjust one that is being overruled… or something like that. So same problem, but opposite settings.
