Question Sprint HTC Hero - Weak Vibration

The vibration on the ringer is too weak and so I can't feel it and am missing lots of calls. I have read the posts in this forum and others. Aside from the folks who find the vibrate mode too strong (not my experience) I have not seen any post that offers a real solution to this problem.

Does anyone have one?
Many thanks in advance

Phone vibration strength is relative. I too think it is not strong enough and is very quick, but it doesn't bother me. I could be wrong but I don't think this is something that can be resolved with software. Maybe replace the vibration component...

I constantly miss text messages because I do not feel the vibration with my Hero in an Innocase II and holster. I think the vibration motor is too weak and if it at least could be set to vibrate longer it would help. I wonder if there is a software way to tweak that.

This is a bit of a battery hog but it does what you are asking for, I think:

i love when people suggest apps that i would never have thought of, it's way better than searching the market and trying to guess.

I was taking the high road but I knew someone would chime in from the gutter. I downloaded the guy's version but I think the female version has a preset vibration pattern called "who needs a boyfriend?" setting. What ever could that mean???

It's great. That's why I have been semi-addicted to this forum.

All the app does is adjust how long it vibrates, does nothing for strength, which doesn't help........

It seems to make the difference for me.
I loaded it yesterday and today I have been noticing the calls.
Before this I did not catch any,not one.
