Hi, just wondering do you have your settings set to ring and vibrate or just ring when you get a new call ?
if you do use both ring and vibrate does it drain the battery faster than just ring ?

Thanks
 
I need both, the vibrate and ring aren't strong enough on their own.

I can barely feel the buzz, and the ring, well sometimes i'm in a noise enviroment.
 
I use both, just 'cause. The vibrate is the strongest on any phone I've ever had; there've been times when I was in an extremely noisy environment (concert, directly in front of the front speakers), and I could still feel the vibrate in my arm when the phone was inside a heavily-padded camera bag.
 
I use only vibrate, I always feel it, and that way I don't have to worry about my phone ringing in inappropriate situations. (Lectures, Meetings, Movies, Funerals, whatnot)
 
I use both. I don't always hear the ring if I'm out in a shopping centre etc. But there again, the vibrate is a bit feeble too!
 
I use just vibrate because I don't want to hear the ring in a quiet environment.

PS> These settings will only drain your battery if you are constantly receiving calls, like several hundred in a day.
 
Even with both, I still miss my calls. They're both very weak compared to every other phone I have owned.
