Can you increase vibrator strength on android devices?

Is it possible to increase the strength of the alarm vibration?

Solution

  • apparently not,

    under android.os.Vibrator, you can set the pattern as well as the duration

    vibrate(long[] pattern, int repeat)

vibrate(long milliseconds)

    my guess is that different patterns can be used to "simulate" a stronger vibrate. (on,off,on,off) rather than (on, off, off, off, on).

    also a disharmonious pattern may be more effective than a pattern with a fixed rhythm.
