Hi,
Most of the time my phone is on vibrate during office hours but when ever i get a message or a call the vib is so low that i dont notice...
Any solutions
Thanks

Increase vibration intensity.
settings > sound > vibration intensity.
After i dropped my Note, i realized that the vibration was decreased. The flexible ribbon from the vibration motor was damaged.
I installed a new vibration motor yesterday and all is perfect now.
Maybe same thing happened on yours.

Wow, DIY stuff ? How did you do that?
There are many tutorials on YouTube about disassembling GNote, in fact is not difficult at all. The vibration motor is just beneath a circuit board and it should take only 15 minutes to change it.
The probability to screw up something is almost null
Got it from another thread. Now this is a sure-warranty-void stuff!
Its not that my phone doesnt vibrates its just im not satisfied with the intensity...

Hello fellas
my X1 fell to the floor a few minutes ago. Nothing seems to be damaged...BUT Vibration isn't working anymore...and rarely it's working but it's loud and doesn't sound like normal.
Some friend mentioned that the vibration unit is inside the battery...is it true?
Best regards
Andorra
nope, it's not inside the battery. if you flip your phone over facing down, the vibrating motor is just behind the camera LED and to the left a little.
i recently installed touch response, and just realised that my vibrate doesn't work at all, with any application. anyone had the same problem? any solutions?

I cannot help you to solve your problem, but I can tell you mi case.
I already have installed the Touch Response since I bought my X1, and really I don't have any problem with the vibration motor.
But I read a thread that somebody have a problem with the motor because he installed the htourch on the X1, the problem with this program is because the Xperia do not have a heat sinked LED, and using this app his LED burned and melted over the vibration motor damaged it.
I recommend you if you have this program installed or unistall it or do not use in the bright mode.
My vibration motor is gone too. It only makes a short clicking noise, when it wants to start the vibration, but it instantly dies.
I used htorch, but my LED is still working fine, so I doubt the LED damaged the vibration motor. I never used TouchResponse.
Anyone else got problems with the vibration motor? Perhaps it is just another quality issue... If you do also have problems, please report your version.
My version is 08W47, bought in Germany

The same happened to me (but I had the program tourch button installed). First I noticed that the led had moved sideways a little. This movement increased and after a while I only heard a little ticking sound from the vibrator and finally it went dead. My phone has now been on repair for two weeks.
I miss my phone! And when I get it back I will not us it as a flash light any more!
Hey guys, here's the deal. I can't feel my phone vibrating. My previous phone (good ol' Moto Rizr) vibrated like a freakin monster. The vibration alone when it was on the table beside my bed was enough to wake me up. The Hero...not so much. I'd describe this phone's vibration as a buzz, and the Rizr was more of a "rumble". What I'm wondering is, is there an app that allows you to change the frequency the phone vibrates at when receiving calls, alarms, etc.? I think lowering the frequency would solve the problem, but is it even possible to change?

The only thing you can change is the pattern of the vibration. This is the one thing that really annoys me about this phone. So I just don't use the vibrate and take my chances at work.....luckily, I don't get many calls on it..............
Search for the app smart vibrator it will help a little bit

I tried smart vibrate and found it just allows you to customizing the length of the vibration, it does nothing for the strength/frequency....
After taking the phone apart a few times, I can tell you its not just the speed at which the motor turns (frequency) but also the size of the counterweight. Its just not as big as some of the older clamshell phones. For the haptic feedback and what not, it needs a small weight that a small motor that it can turn very fast for a very short period of time.
The sacrifice is the "strength" of the vibration, which is set by the weight of the actual cam on the motor. Slowing the motor down would yes, probably cause more of a rumble.
If you feel adventerous enough, you could take the phone apart, and put a very small resistor in between the motor terminals... not sure how many ohms it would take, but problaby not much.

Thanks. I used to take computers apart for a living and for hobby...but I don't think I want to try it with the phone. I guess the only other option is setting a very long vibrate and hope I feel it eventually.
Hi guys,
i bought my s4 the day one and it works great for now :laugh: but i have a question on the device's vibration. It looks like stronger than s3, so strong that during vibration seems that plastic parts vibrate Is it normal? It looks like an electric razor xD :good:
Also found the Vibra is stronger on the S3
Might have a look to see if the flex/motors are the same and try a swap but not yet
yeh I found when i first got it the startup vibrate (can that be turned off by the way?) was really strong and sounded/felt unpleasant.
Have turned down the haptics and vibrate in settings and now its ok. Except that startup vibrate is still intense.
there is vibration settings, you can choose rhythm (not sure if it's the correct word) and the strength of vibration. just try that

I didi the same, but in general I wanted to ask if it was normal

Hi
It seems to be normal! Unfortunately. Some plastic parts vibrate even if you lay the phone on the table... Just knock on the chassis with your finger an the phone vibrates....

I agree with you, on my device happens the same thing, the color of mine is White Frost.
But a friend of mine has bought the phone (color Black Myst) some days ago, his device's vibration isn't strong and knocking on the chassis with a finger doesn't make the phone vibrate.... Should us be worried for ours?
Thank you for your replies.

I know this topic is oldish but I also have one question.
Does your gs4 vibration make a kind of broken sounding noise? I don't know how to describe the noise but it's like if some part inside is loose.
When I hold the device firmly it vibrates normally. I removed the cover and pinpointed the noise source, seems to be the camera or the sim/SD slot.
It's rally bad when you start the device and it vibrates once, or when you spam press the bell or heart beat vibration preview in settings.
It's also just the first few milliseconds of the vibrate when it's really bad I think.
Do you guys have the same thing?
I got the same problem... Thought it was just me...

Is there any solution for the crackling sound coming from the phone when it vibrates??
Hello all!
Anyone else notice that the keypress vibration is insane when typing? I tried SwiftKey and lowered the vibration to its lowest setting and it stays the same. Also tried G Board and it's still the same. I switched the vibration under setting for touch to light but same issue..
Same for me. After rooting and installing a custom kernel...it's possible to adjust vibration via a kernel manager.
Same here. I just put in for an RMA thinking my vibrator is defective because the vibrator is way too strong to be good haptic feedback for the keyboard. Every other OP has very fine tunability for key pressing. The OP5 is over the top! Not sure now if I should proceed with the RMA or not....

Does your vibrator also have a "long decay" whenever its activated? Like when I get a call or press a key, the vibrator almost feels like a spring and it doesn't stop as quickly as it starts.
This is why I felt the my unit may be defective. But it could just be the nature of this new more powerful vibrator. I was just surprised that nobody else (and our reviews) mentioned it until this lone thread.
