I noticed that upon the vibration being triggered on really short spurts (for example when typing) that occasionally a clicking noise is generated. This isn't from the speaker, it's definately a mechanical noise.
For reference, My EVO is less then 24 hours old.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
I haven't heard any clicking and I've had mine for a week. I just tested it with typing and I don't hear any mechanical noise. Perhaps yours is defective?
The vibration on this phone is 100% more refined than the Hero's (in my opinion, lol). I turned off haptic feedback everywhere on my Hero because it was obnoxious and obtrusive. The haptic on the Evo seems smooth and intuitive. I prefer to use it on anything with the option.
I had it on a replacement vogue I got, it went away after awhile.
Take it into sprint and see if you can replace it.
My Nexus One use to do that. Did it from day one I had it since release date and still works fine.
I happened to notice this today myself but the noise eventually went away. I hope it doesn't become a big issue.
Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily a defect. Just when it gets triggered for such a short time-span that sometimes happens. Not that first phone I've noticed it on.

I was watching a podcast of the 404(cnet) and one of the hosts had something go wrong with his vibration on his evo....??
He said it will still vibrate like when calls came in, but for like the haptic feedback it didn't work.(yes he menitoned he had checked all the settings that were relative)
Dunno if this means anything to you but it could be more than a fluke problem. You never know...
I'm having this exact same problem on a nexus one...

After about two and a half weeks of ownership I started getting the click. It happens when the vibration is very short, maybe less than 1 second.
It isn't really obnoxious to me, but it is enough of a click that I notice it now.
Haven't noticed this ... yet ...
-_-

lol I thought I was the only one.
Curious, how loud? Would the key tone, god forbid that even be on, cover it up? Medium volume? (Is that loud??? I don't use the key tones ... )
Mine does the same thing. Clicks every other input. At the home screen I can press the back button over and over and every other time is clicks.. doesn't sound healthy. Its getting annoying when texting because every other letter feels differnt making some letters feel like there is no vibration....
THe more it does it, it's starting to feel like a rattle, like something is loose....
I used to have that w/ my first evo. Then i bought a second off the market and it didnt have the vibration problem. so i returned the first...
I have this issue, will sprint do an exchange because of this? I can replicateit by holding the backspace key on swype, its a loud annoying clicking
Edit: I upgraded to the new swype and thenoise is gone
I have this same clicking sound, doesn't seem to bother me though!
yup, mine will occasionally do it too. It almost sounds like there is slack in there and whenever it starts up it slaps against something. Mine doesn't seem to be getting worse so I'm not to worried about it but I definitely notice it when it does happen.

When I'm on the phone with the Cingular 8525, I would randomly hear some kind of soft typing/clicking noise through the speaker.. I tried talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset and I still hear the damn noise!
Anyone else experience this?
possible screen tap sound from your cheek or something in your pocket (when using bluetooth) touching the screen? turn off screen tap sounds and see if it goes away.
I hear the same thing when I'm driving down the Pennsylvania Turnpike... It just may be one of the reasons I return this phone... Never had this issue w/ my other phone.

I used to get various clicks/sounds, which were meant to be there but annoying until I turned off event sounds etc.

nah, my screen tap sounds are off, and im 100% sure im not touching the screen causing it to press buttons.. also with my bluetooth the phone can be sittin on my desk and i still hear the faint clicking/type writer noises
this is really starting to annoy me.. i'm really wondering if this is a problem with teh 8525's or if its just my phone thats defected

I'm not aware of this being reported by others, except for a couple on this thread. So if event sounds are of and no apps running like push mail then I would think it's a faulty device.
Just for info you described the noise but I'm not clear whether this is an occasional sound or a more or less continuous noise. I'm afraid this device when you get a good one is briliant but there is a high number of flakey ones out there. Warranty return??

You're probably well aware of this but just in case. Turning of screen tap sounds is not the same as turning off event sounds. Event sounds can be heard for all sorts of reasons including taping screen i.e when application starts to open but also as for example a wifi network is detected and any other event like switching from 3g etc etc.

My unit just started that weird rhythmic clicking sound this Friday. I've had the unit for a month. I get the noise in all places I've used the phone - all around the city.
The clicks happen in pairs, 1 pair roughly per second. A sequence of these pairs lasts between 3 and 10 iterations. Then a break the length of one pair and off they go again.
I too have done a soft reset and stopped all apps running. The clicking persists.
Hey everybody,
I purchased a Pure last Sunday, and have noticed that the vibration doesnt feel as "solid" as i'd like it to.
A big pet peeve of mine was that my fuze made a lot of noise when it vibrated because the two halves (if you want to call them that) (screen and keyboad) buzzed against each other. I was really hoping to have a feel on the pure similar to the iPhone where its an inaudible vibration (the way it should be).
My Pure vibrates and it sounds like something is rattling around inside, not like its physically shaking the device. Anyone have any similar comments or different experience? I'd like to go swap my pure out with AT&T if it means I'll get a quieter vibrate... Thanks!

If the sound comes by the camera that is normal. Like if you move or tap the back of the phone. Its the auto focus.
I it's not that then IDK. All I know is that the phone doesn't vibrate enough form me and I've never had noise problems. Not even from the camera when vibrating.
I use this (Touch Response) It works great and gives for better tactile feedback. You can set the intensity by making it vibrate shorter or longer. My prefered settings are in the first post I made. (The First Post LOL)
yeah, i used touch response for my Fuze. its hard to tell where my rattling is coming from, maybe i'll swing by the store and get a demo unit to buzz...
I have a weird rattle as well, if i tap the back of the top of the unit it makes a rattle sound. Sometimes when it vibrates the sound is odd too so i assumed that the rattle was that. Is that what ur rattle is like?
I took it to carphonewarehouse and they were like send it off to HTC to get it fixed, would take 2 weeks so i was like hmm its working fine atm so dont worry.

That rattle your getting is the auto focus camer. It is normal. Use the camera and you can here it move and fixate when you take a pic. It's like that when not in use.
I flashed my phone to SC 2.4 voodoo and everything works fine except that whenever I am on the phone I hear weird sound. It doesnt happen when screen is not on. I think it has to do with some kind of sensor btw you phone and your ear. When screen is on because the phone is not close enough to your ear, it makes sound but as soon as you put your phone close to your ear so that no longer screen is on then I dont hear anymore.....it could not be a big deal...but it kinda bothers me....so plz any suggestions will b greatly appreciated!!
What sort of sound is it? Is it a very high pitched constant tone? Or something else?
Heya,
That sound comes from the screen turning on. Its some sort of frequency noise. Not sure if there is a fix for it.

Not the first to report it, it's happened on other roms as well.
Yep. Not a problem for me on DL09
Got it on both froyo leaks as does my friends fascinate
Doesnt bother me too much though
the texts greater than 160 chars coming through as gibberish or not coming through to non-verizon customers is whats getting annoying to me.
I turned on the simple split 160 option in handcent but something about splitting texts into multiple texts just feels wrong to me :S
I do not believe that there is a fix for it at the moment. But I have noticed that with 2.2 as well. From what I remember I think it has something to do with the soft keys and screen lighting up when on the phone is moved from your ear.
I've noticed this also. But only since EB01 (I think...lol). It does get somewhat annoying but not really that bad. Would love a fix. Superclean 2.4nv
Good. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one hearing this.
I'm just hoping that the noise isn't the sound of something being damaged in my phone. ...like some internal component that is receiving too much power.
To describe the noise, it's pretty much the same kind of noise that a light-up watch makes whenever you turn on the light. I don't know if any of you have ever stuck your ear up to a Timex Indiglo, or something similar, but there is a little "wheeeeeee" kind of noise that is emitted by the light.
*EDIT*
Ok. More info on the odd noise coming out of the phone. It only happens when the phone is in a call. So it is something related to the proximity sensor. Is it possible that EB01 is sending too much voltage through the proximity sensor?
If you are not in a call, even if both the screen and the soft keys are enabled, there is no odd noise. When you are in a call and the screen is on, a weird noise is made. As soon as the screen goes off, the noise stops.
Hello there everyone,
is anyone else experiencing this weird phenomenon:
everytime haptic feedback frequency is high, e.g. while fast typing messages, I'm hearing besides the vibrating buzz also some clicks, and they become louder the shorter the intervals between the pulses. When I wait a little after hearing it and touch a key again, the clicking is gone but as soon as they follow up each other a little bit faster it's hearable again.. Can anyone check if this happens with them too? I can't remember I was hearing this sound too when I first used the phone, just wanted to know if something's wrong in the earpiece. I know the vibrator is situated at the bottom of the phone, the noise however is coming from the earpiece.
Thanks in advance!

No I haven't also, the phone is completely set to mute. But if the guy of the second answer doesn't have his touch sounds on neither, everything's OK with me just wanted to know if it was abnormal

Hi, just got my Note 3 and it is a wonderful device. However, a little issue on the vibration is bugging me at the moment. When I set the vibration intensity at the highest level, there is a slight rattling / out of the ordinary sound for the first 0.5 to 1 second of the vibration. Subsequent vibrations sound normal. No issues at the other lower vibration intensity level. Just wanna find out whether others have the same problem or my phone is defective.
Yep, the same here. I don't consider this as an issue though.

Thanks. I'm ok wif it too, just worried something inside is loose.
is it an issue.. is not normal for a new device. got mine replaced and no more sound when is set to highest
I am having the issue described as well and am curious about how widespread it is. So far in this thread two users report experiencing it, while one says that a replacement device does not exhibit the same behaviour. Adding myself into the mix that makes it 3-to-1 noticing the slight brief buzz at the beginning of the vibration, when set to the highest intensity. It's an even bigger issue when using a multiple quick-repeating vibration, as the little rattle/buzz sound will happen at the beginning of each individual pulse. A small issue maybe, but an irritating one.
Can anyone else confirm either definitely having, or not having this issue?
To test it, it's easiest to go to Vibration Intensity under settings, and flip the slider back and forth between the highest, and second highest levels, to see if you notice a difference. In my case, it sometimes won't happen depending on how/tightly I'm gripping the phone. Most often it will though.
Has anyone with this minor issue managed to find a fix for it?
I have just bought 2 note 3, the first one was a French version which had the rattle, I returned it and got a new one, this time the one they had in the store was the Portuguese version, and guess what, same thing.
both were sealed and brand new, I really want to keep the phone but this is very annoying... (the rattling is an issue for me)

So far only one person in this thread has reported not having the issue, and that with a replacement for one that presumably did. I'd love to know how widespread the issue is as it seems quite common from the posts here, but there's really no way to know with so few responders.
The rattle doesn't seem to be from something actually loose inside, since on the long vibration (incoming phone call) the buzz sound only lasts for the first tenth of a second, of the two-second or so total duration. A loose piece would keep rattling the whole time, so it seems more related to the vibration motor itself starting up. Also, clamping my hand around the both phone edges semi-tightly seems to prevent the buzz, so it could be interaction between the motor and the frame.
My only workaround so far has been to set vibration intensity to the second highest level, which is not really much weaker than the highest and does not produce the buzz/rattle sound.
I just got my phone today and I'm noticing it. I was almost wondering if that was how it was supposed to sound. E either way it annoys me.

hmm, the issue was more widespread that i initially thought. the rattle is kind of annoying. still considering whether to send it to the service centre coz not sure whether they can solve it.
