Help possible vibrate problem.

So I get the Evo yesterday and I'm very happy with it. I did notice something that I'm not sure if it's a problem or not but I noticed that the vibration on the evo is pretty weak and it makes the phone feel weird. It's only a very short and soft vibration, unlike the hero. I'm not sure if this is just how the phone was built because I don't know anyone else that has an Evo I can check. I can live with it if thats how it's made but it really bugs me.
 
I also have this issue.

I had an EVO for about 8 months. After 8 months, there was a hardware issue and I had it replaced just a few days ago.

My old EVO's vibration was strong, almost ridiculously strong, but my new EVO's is weak, ridiculously weak.

Any settings for this that I'm missing? Any others who have resolved this? Defective?

Thanks.

Why didn't you take the phone back to the store and compare it to a phone right out of the box or the one on display? I mean this isn't rocket science guys. Either the phone is working correctly or it isn't. If you hold onto a phone for an extended period of time and you think something might be wrong with the phone all you can do is blame yourself. Don't be lazy, go to a store and compare it to another in front of a Sprint Rep. Thread closed.

Maybe you have nothing to do in life but I barely get 5 hours of sleep each day so get it straight before you bash.

Dude, until you have had mortars and crap flying at your head every night while being in a deployed location and hunting down the enemy, you cannot say anything to me about sleep deprivation. What is a holiday because the boys overseas don't get those days off in combat. Don't you get Easter, Thanksgiving, X-mas, and all the other holidays off? Aren't any days off in combat!

I replaced mine with a sucky vibration and the new evo I got is so much better. I think my old ones sucky vibration is due to the fact that the screen was separating.
