I recieved my HD2 yesterday from VF UK. This is a serious device, beautiful, sleek and powerful. However the Haptic touch vibration sounds strange? It sounds like there is something loose within the device itself, actually sounds a little like a blown speaker! Usually haptic touch doesn't make a sound it simply vibrates. Has anyone else experienced this? Should i send my device back?
Searched but couldn't find anything!!
Cheers DB
hi, i had 2 hd2 til now, the first was from htc and the second from t-mobile so i can compare. the tmobile one acts similar to yours. it sound like the motor wich makes the vibration jumps out of his monting point and ist hitting some metal parts. i wont return the device because the noise is only at the end of vibration and not that loud. it is more that it feels strange in the hand. as long as it stays like that i can live with it, because the rest is working well.
regards mad
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.

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 worries my nexus does the same.

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
Thanks!
I don't really care about it, but I think i found the culprit. Its the shutter/flap that protects the camera lense.
Here's a test to confirm: Make phone vibrate by bringing up volume control and tapping the icon to switch to vibrate. Hear buzzy vibrate. Open up camera app (you can sometimes hear the shutter/flap open for the lense) then make the phone vibrate again. Hear less/if anything no buzz at all. This test can also be performed by placing the phone down with slight force (assuming you have a case on), so you can hear the flap moving/buzzing.
I don't know if this affects all phones. But it affects mine, but doesn't bother me. I found it out randomly by chance today when I guessed it was the camera shutter/flap. Chime in if you have this "issue," would be good to know if this affects all phones, or some.
EDIT: Or I could be totally wrong, and its the OIS.
Yes I've also got this, I'm not worried too much about it, it is a bit annoying though. Kinda makes the phone sound cheap. Its a shame because the vibrate is really smooth in this phone, much better than my S3. I've had a few people look at me while turning my phone down to vibrate haha.
I compared with my Nexus 5, using SwiftKey.
I can feel the vibration at 5 ms vibration setting.
While on Nexus 6, I must set it to 20.
Weak....
not sure if troll or serious.
since i got the N6, i cant keep it on my desk at work cause it would eventualy be sickening loud.
I wish I could turn off the vibration, it's too strong on my N6.
The vibration motor seems strong for everything except Swiftkey. I keep playing with settings also and 20 does seem about right. But it's still weak and seems to not vibrate for every keypress.
Yes, this is the case. I am not trolling.
I think the vibration motor is not proportional.
It is very strong starting at 25 ms. But below that, it's really weak.
At first, I was thinking mine is broken, because I compare it to my Nexus 5, sensitive vibration.
