Same. I also get phantom vibrations sometimes so it’s a toss up for me.
Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds
limelight79@lemm.ee 3 days agoI don’t know about other people, but I often miss vibration notifications. If I’m doing basically anything at all, even just walking, it’s a good bet I’ll miss it. The pattern of vibration, etc., doesn’t seem to make much difference, either. I basically to be doing nothing before I’ll detect it. This has been true of every phone I’ve had - flip phones, iPhones, and Androids. I keep it in a front pocket, too, so it seems like that should work.
I still use vibrate all the time. If there’s something I’m specifically waiting for that I don’t want to miss, I’ll turn on the sound.

Yeah, there are times when I’m like, “Aha! It’s definitely vibrating now!” Pull it out of my pocket and look, no notifications or anything.

Do you think it’s a modern phone thing? I used to always be able to feel my phone vibrating. But when I got a new phone several years back, I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t feel the damn thing vibrating in my pocket and I’d miss calls and texts.

I always thought it was just me, but maybe not. In the push to make everything smaller to cram more in, maybe the weight they use to generate the vibrations is just too small.

Same, if I’m walking around outside with it in my pocket, I don’t notice the vibration or even hear it ring over the background noise and wind.

I set the notifications to vibrate and set a ringtone for all calls.
