Call Notification Should Vibrate Like Alarm

[Speil8]

When receiving a call the vibration should continue for the duration of the alert ("ringing") on your phone, with the option to "silence" the notification by pressing the button, like the silent alarm function.  In its current state, it's way too easy to miss an incoming call.

I am looking for a more period in the time for the call notification on Fitbit display.

I hope if it is not an option to be considered in next version as several time I couldn't catch the caller name on Fitbit display.

I agree, the alarm vibrates multiple times. The Caller ID only gives 1 short quick vibrate when someone calls. Sometimes I don't even notice or feel it. I would like if I could adjust it to 3 or 4 vibrations just so I know I won't miss it. I can live with the slight decrease in battery life this may cause me. To make it adjustable would allow others to have it on the 1 vibrate default but users like you and I can set it to 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Yes having the option to vibrate 1,2,3,4, or 5 times would be ideal and a huge help.  I could care less about the drain on the battery as long as I am notified with the proper # of vibrations when someone calls.

I agree, I missed phone call several times even just walking. The number of the vibration needs to be chosen.

I think it would be great if you could set the number of vibrations, on your fitbit, when someone called you. It only vibrates once right now.  It would be great if you could set it to 1-4 vibrations when someone called.

I agree as well. The silent alarm has a long vibrate pattern, as well as when you achieve a goal, but the call notification only vibrates one short time. Please make it longer or give the user the option to change it.

I would like to be able to increase the number of times the Charge vibrates when I receive an incoming call.

Please bring the call vibrations like you have the alarms set. One vibrate doesn't remind me or tell me. Even when running or walking. Please!

[fitbik]

Absolutely agree!! One time violatoin is almost useless. Please update F/W so notification length can be selected with multiple choice of length.

[gocubs]

Let's hope Fitbit listens to us all and updates the Vibration settings in the next software release 🙂

2 slightly longer bursts with a 2 second gap would be ideal. But as it is now is too easy to miss.

My Charge HR only vibrates once when I get a phone call yet my alarm vibrates multiple times. We should be able to alter the number and/or pattern of vibrations for messages. I love the HR cause if my phone isn't on me, I still know when people call.

This would be a great update we all would like to have.  I miss calls a lot because of such a short and soft vibrate.  Let's make it big like the silent alarm.

[ZHS]

I think this would be a great additon, I also miss calls due to the short notifications and I dont mind if it shortens the battery charge.

Here is the issue:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Charge-HR/Call-notification-charge-HR-vibrates-just-once-Why/m-p/883...

Hi! 

I have Charge HR. I like it. 

But, there is a one thing i don't like at all. When i got the call my Charge HR vibrates just once. Its really hard to notice this vibration when i run or do my workout. Is there any way to increase the numbers of cal notification vibrations? 

Thank you!

When you get a call, only one buzz happens and there is no way to change that. Sorry.

But in this case the call buzz is useless since one buzz can be barely noticed! 

Please, think about that. Also you can add another option, to turn on vibration and silent the phone sound during the sleep time. 

Thanks.

+1. Add call notification buzzer.

Please improve the call notification feature by vibrating until eitgher the phone stops ring, or the call is taken or button is pressed. Thanks.

[rinoandriya]

Please make option to change the call notification of Fitbit Charge HR..
Nowadays, it is only vobrate once..it is useless..
Please make it at least vibrate until the call ended or the call picked up..
Thank you in advance

[mcorbitt]

Would really like to receive update on these call notifications that would allow more than one vibration when a call is received. Love my Fitbit.

[PDerl]

Be able to modifiy the viration intensity and have different types of vibrations for different items (one for alarm, one for call, one for goals....)

This feature is really useful but the current vibration is soooo short (why would you make it like that in the first place?). it's very usefull because i often don't feel my phone vibrating, but if i miss that too, then it becomes obsolete.

[Grieg]

Call notification very poor, need stronger and longer so you can't miss itPLEASE

[DivaBlonde]

Agree wholeheartedly, longer alerts for call notifications would make a big positive difference in functionality.

[Brisneylander]

Yes this is a problem. The vibration is currently very brief, and also mistimed. Often my fitbit vibrates after I have already answered the call. Just makes no sense. This is a defect that needs to be fixed.
