As Google tweaks the version of Android it distributes to phones running its custom Tensor chip, there have been some odd issues, but instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/2\/8\/22923777\/pixel-6-pro-february-update-wifi-bluetooth-bugs\">problems with Wi-Fi<\/a> or a slow thumbprint scanner, this time, it\u2019s affecting another key feature: notifications. They still pop up on the phone just as regularly, but for some reason, the strength of the vibration is now significantly weaker than it was before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"VZQ2aC\"><q>Adjusting the vibration settings has no effect<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"8uB0Li\">I\u2019ve had my phone\u2019s sounds set to silent for years, so any difference in the notification buzz is immediately an issue. It\u2019s also noticeably softer for incoming calls, and some people have reported missing phone calls as a result. <\/p>\n<p id=\"OFHOpj\">Adjusting the phone\u2019s strength slider seems to have no effect, which suggests the problem is a bug rather than something intentional. A poster on Reddit pointed out that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/android_beta\/comments\/sqf2v7\/the_new_vibration_intensity_for_notifications_on\/\">people noticed the same thing during the Android 12.1 beta,<\/a> but it appears to have made its way into the production release without a response or adjustment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2022\/03\/24\/pixel-6-owners-notice-weaker-notification-haptics-after-march-update\/\"><em>Droid-Life<\/em><\/a> noted that after a list of changes in the March Pixel update appeared on March 7th, Google added a line saying it includes \u201cFix for issue causing weaker haptic feedback in certain conditions\u201d on March 8th.<\/p>\n<p id=\"V6EMPm\">Why did Google change that, and was it intentional? I don\u2019t know, and despite requesting more information, the company has not responded. Everyone I\u2019ve talked to with a Pixel 6 has noticed the change in their phones, from friends to other <em>Verge <\/em>staffers, while <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/charliebensaid\/status\/1506685994665455616?s=21\">a number<\/a> of posts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/tk4675\/p6_vibration_weak_after_update\/\">on social media sites<\/a> and comments suggest it\u2019s affecting pretty much everyone with one of the devices.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CexPrI\">At least a few folks have said they like the change, but if you\u2019re not one of them, you may have to wait for another update or install another app that lets you adjust vibrations directly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/25\/22996788\/google-pixel-6-pro-notification-vibration-weak-march-update\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/25\/22996788\/google-pixel-6-pro-notification-vibration-weak-march-update<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: This may sound familiar, but there\u2019s something wrong with the latest software update for Google\u2019s Pixel 6 phones.
