If your vivo S50 vibrates in a way that feels too weak, too strong, or simply unfamiliar, you can customize the vibration pattern in just a few taps. Sometimes the phone may not vibrate at all during calls, which can cause you to miss important notifications. Whether you want to personalize the vibration style or fix a problem, this guide will walk you through it clearly and quickly.
Why Your vivo S50 Incoming Call Vibration May Not Work Properly
- Vibration is disabled in sound settings.
- The phone is set to Silent without vibration enabled.
- Do Not Disturb mode is active.
- System vibration intensity is set too low.
- A temporary software issue is affecting call alerts.
Change the Incoming Call Vibration Pattern
Customizing the vibration pattern allows you to recognize calls without looking at your screen. It also helps you adjust the feel of the alert so it matches your preference.
- Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
- Tap Incoming call vibration, and then select your preferred vibration pattern.
- Tap Vibration intensity, and then adjust the slider to your desired level.
Lock your phone and ask someone to call you to test the new pattern.
Make Sure Vibration Is Enabled
If your phone is not vibrating at all, the feature may be disabled. Turning it back on ensures you receive call alerts even in silent environments.
- Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
- Tap Vibrate for calls, and then choose Always vibrate or Vibrate when silent.
Test the phone again to confirm it now vibrates during incoming calls.
Turn Off Do Not Disturb Mode
Do Not Disturb can block vibrations depending on its configuration. Disabling it helps restore normal call alerts.
- Open Settings, and then tap Shortcuts and accessibility.
- Tap Do Not Disturb, and then toggle it off.
If you prefer using it, adjust the allowed calls settings instead of fully disabling it.
Restart the Phone
A simple restart can fix temporary system glitches that interfere with vibration alerts. This refreshes the notification services in the background.
- Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
- Wait for the phone to boot up, and then test the vibration again.
Restarting often resolves minor issues without changing any settings.
Reset App Preferences
If specific contacts are not triggering vibration, app settings might be misconfigured. Resetting preferences restores default behavior without deleting your data.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap the three-dot menu, and then select Reset app preferences.
Confirm the action and test incoming calls again.
Customizing or fixing the vibration pattern on your vivo S50 takes only a few minutes. Once properly configured, your phone should alert you clearly every time someone calls.
