Call Notification Should Vibrate Like Alarm - Page 6 - Fitbit Community

Status:

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 own a Fitbit charge HR and there should be a way to change the vibrations from just one buzz when getting a call to multiple or a feature that buzzes until you answer. This would be very beneficial to me as I need to wake up if I get called in the middle of the night. The alarms already buzz a lot, so why not make the calling buzz more too. Thank you!

I totally agree with everyone who has posted that multiple vibrations be produced for call notifications. Nearly two years is far to long to wait for an upgrade which would implement this important change. It is, currently, far too easy to miss calls with only one brief, fairly weak vibration!

Need the option to increase the vibration. I bought this to work at hospital where phone is on silent. But I'm missing calls and texts. I can't always feel the vibration ON SOMETHING TOUCHING MY SKIN. That is abysmal.

The change from multi buzz to just a single vibrate for incoming phone calls is awful. Please revert or make it a config option going forward.

I am really looking for a way to have the vibration for the incoming calls be more intense. I miss calls all the time because I never really have my sound on. This would really help

I wish there was more than one vibration for incoming calls. I am a heavy sleeper, and I have a job that requires me to be on call at night. This function would allow me to wake up for those phone calls.

Agreed! I would much prefer a longer vibration- I seem to miss every incoming call I receive. Also curious if there is a way to scroll through calls on the charge screen?

This change is much needed, and could be made easily.

Please get it done. There are multiple suggestions with this topic.

I've got a call duty sometime when I'm working and it would be awesome to not wake up the whole family when it rings in the middle of the night.

Hi,
Re fitbit HR
It would be good to have the option of more or custom vibration alerts when receiving a call.

Also it would be good to get a notification that a text has been received (it doesn't have to display the text but just a notification saying text received)

Do you think this will ever happen?

I really wish it could vibrate more than once for calls. It's so easy to miss that one vibration when your busy. It's possible for your step goal but not for calls? Doesn't make sense

Having the more than one vibration when there is an incoming call would be helpful.

Yes please

My family and I have had 10 fitbits so far. Want the call notification vib to be more than one short little burst. We have Charge and Charge HR. Alarm vibs are good, but phone call vib is poor at best.

I wanted to buy a new FitBit with phone notifications so I won't wake my wife when work calls in the middle of the night. This is actually a pretty necessary thing for a lot of careers. The single vibrate issue may force me to buy another device if not solved.

My ChargeHR call notification was fine(long enough) until a few weeks ago, when it became a short vibe. This happened after an update came through that popped a notification to my phone saying it (app) may not work until restarted. After restart a call came through and it was a short buzz. It also changed when the notification happened...prior, it would start as soon as the call lit up the screen on my phone, a second after the phone vibe started. Now it starts very late in the call delivery, sometimes not even showing up on the tracker until the call itself has gone to voicemail, or I have already answered the call(which rather negates its utility, doesn't it).

1. Add settings to customize call notifications

2. Add text notifications

3. Allow a proper data dump of all information tracked without the subscription.

2 & 3 don't have anything to do with the other, but are items that would be really nice to have.

3 is the one that is pushing me to consider moving to an open-source tracker.

yes please. if it only vibrates once, i always miss the notification.

EDIT: I'd like to add that I registered for the forum specifically to upvote this feature.

Request continuos vibration for calls. Useful for guys for on call duty and don't want to disturb all at home. At present it's only two vibrations and not enough for alerts.

Let me if it's going to be introduced in the next software version.
