I was wondering if an app could be developed that would let the vibrate on my phone to act kinda like a bass speaker instead of the same boring intensity of vibration that goes with the beat of my ringtone
That is quite an amazing idea, thigh I Wuould he afraid that it would fry the vibration.

I c would be pretty cool
Well in handcent you can change the frequency of the vibration, so you could customize your texts a bit. Don't know of anything for calls.
I know if rhymes well. Anyone know how to decrease the duration of the vibration during notifications? Sounds like a truck passing by if phone is sitting on a hard surface and a notification comes in. I just want a short buzz, not something that threatens my glassware.
Settings > Sound > Vibration intensity.
It wont change the duration, but it won't be as intense. I'm not sure how you can chage the duration on stock, sorry.

Hellyeah.. vibration duration is very very annoying. I just came from CM7 to UnNamed and the long vibration on notification is REALLY annoying.
Ive just got a samsung galaxy s 2, my question is has anyone else noticed that the vibration is really strong so much so that it creates another sound from the phone?

Yes, at least for me, the phone turns into a pneumatic hammer when it vibrates... phone goes for repair :/
Oh yours sounds more serious i guess. It jus sounds as if the vibration is major strong. Like the sound is vibrating against the back panel or something i guess. Wondering if its just a characteristic when thd intensith is high. Ive lowered the intensity and downloaded a vibration app which together eliminate the problem

This is usually not a harware fault, but the way the software was created.
In some ROMs you can go to settings>sound and change the intensity of the harptic feadback or just disable it completely.
the vibration on this particular phone is new to me, i dont get any back panel vibrations in the haptic feedback setting,but when i use rotary lockscreen and move the rotary slowly to put it on silent mode it makes a strong vibration and makes a distorted humming sound.
Yea thats right repub, using the haptic feedback is nice but when you lower the volume to vibrate mode or use a toggle switch wudget to vibrate mode theres like a vibrate noise aswell as sonethibg else right? This is the noise of how strong the vibration is i think bouncing off the back panel or battery etc

Does anyone else have their phone vibrating as the music plays with the volume all the way up on Poweramp Pro?...I have searched as much as I can and I am now turning to you guys to see if there is something I am missing in the settings...It seems like it will drain the battery to have the vibrator going to the beat of the music the whole time it's playing...With two presses of volume down it stops...Only when the volume is all the way up does it do this...Is there a setting on the phone or in the app that I can turn this off?...
Yes go into settings sound and turn auto haptic feedback off

I see now...Thanks...It's the auto haptic on/off that fixes this...I didn't know that it would allow you you check and uncheck apps so I have unchecked it now...I'm coming from an EvO 3D so this is my first taste of ICS...I am amazed at the amount of settings ICS has...
Yeah ics is super Dev. Friendly

Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.
