Hey

Sometimes I accidently leave my phone on vibrate and miss calls because the vibration doesnt "sound" on a table or something. Hell sometimes in my pocket I actually have to touch it to see if it is virbating :P I wonder if the virbration can be increased to make it vibrate harder so I can acutally feel it in my pocket and/or I can hear it virbating against a desk.

It is understandable that battery life will suffer and so will the small moter inside that causes the virbation but oh well. Price that I have to pay.

Look at /etc/mce/mce.ini at the base. The last stored values are set for "acceleration". The higher the level, the "stronger" the vibration is. I believe 254 is the highest.

Thanks.

Too bad there is no widget or similar to increase/decrease on the fly.

Thanks anyhow.

Why do you need a widget to do this?

Modify it, issue `killall mce` and the settings take effect. You shouldn't be changing mce configuration files every 10 minutes.

Because I can


Maybe battery is low and I want a low power config. Maybe I want to make it vibrate at different levels

I don't know much situation where you need a strong vibration ... you are not a girl or? The low power config is a lame excuse :P

You can do it with dbus-scripts.

Echo certain values into /etc/mce/mce.ini upon dbus events and then restart the daemon. Very simple to do after sniffing dbus system events.

I think that will be usefull if an app could make some changes for vibration:
- if the device is in the pocket (using the proximity sensor and, maybe, the light sensor) it vibrates strong
- if is in the desk (in my office, for example), vibrates but not so much
- if completely dark (and the proximity sensor says that isn't anything over it), don't vibrate (for example, in the night while sleeping)

Everything configurable, including the vibration level. Only while receiving a call, of course.
