Iāve noticed something about the vibration behavior on Nothing phones (including my Phone 2a Plus) that feels a bit unintuitive and different from most other smartphones.
Right now, vibration for incoming calls only works if the āvibrate for callsā option is enabled ā regardless of whether the phone is in ring mode or vibrate mode. And if I turn that off, thereās no vibration at all, even in vibrate mode.
In most phones, the behavior is simpler and more flexible:
Vibrate mode ā vibration only (no ringtone)
Ring/normal mode ā ringtone only (no vibration unless explicitly enabled)
Silent mode ā no sound, no vibration
But on Nothing OS, vibrate mode doesnāt behave independently ā it still depends on that separate toggle. This removes the expected distinction between modes.
Personally, I donāt see the need for vibration in normal (ring) mode, and having it tied this way also affects battery usage unnecessarily.
It would be great if Nothing could:
Separate vibration behavior based on sound mode (Ring / Vibrate / Silent)
Allow users to fully customize vibration independently for each mode
A small change like this would improve usability a lot and make the experience more intuitive.
Hope the team considers this š
