Without another unit to reference, I have to think something is up with my vibration motor. With haptic enabled on button press, I can't feel anything. I hear a very low, almost inaudible sound that could be the motor trying to work -- but I feel nothing.
How's your haptic response? Is it very pronounced or almost unnoticeable? I want to say I felt it much more during initial setup..
Also when switching the ringer from silent to vibrate, I do feel it (and hear it) but it sounds almost like a dying motor; very weak and unhealthy.
Am I off base here?

I've had my N4 for 3 days now and haptic response is as strong as it was at the start. I am constantly pleased by it since it was poor on my GNex! Vibration in silent mode is great as well so no unhealthy sound here. Sorry to be so happy with mine!

Yea, that's what I was afraid of.. going to try a restore (although I don't have much faith..) and see where that gets me. Short of that, guess I'm going to have to call Google for a RMA.
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Nah, man. Vibration comes and goes, its system-wide not just keyboard. I already have a replacement on the way.

So my ringer is a bit weird, when the phone rings the ringer is initially low and kind of distorted then a few seconds in it goes up to full volume. Anyone else have this or know how to fix?

Its normal. A feature, not a bug.
I like it. Means I can grab the phone before it gets loud.... think of it as a pre-ring.
Yep, mine does it too. I like it so I don't get a full volume blast right away when the phone rings, making crap my pants.

That's exactly what it is for. Just in case you have your phone to your ear already it isn't blaring. it's like a warning feature.
It's one of my favorite features on this phone. I really really like it.

Why would your phone be up to your ear if you aren't on a call?

its how samsung made it.. all of these phones are like that first 2 seconds are very low then out of no where its loud... it doesnt even seem gradually thats why it sounds weird.... but its made like that! so dont worry about it
I think all samsung mobiles have this feature !
I had 4 Samsung mobiles and all of them had that feature !
I don't know why Samsung done this but I think there is a secret about it !
Oh ok awesome, thanks for clearing that up. This is my first Samsung, I've had mainly HTC's so I wasn't sure if my phone had a bug that I need to fix or something.
The volume it came originally like that cuz I went on YouTube & watch videos on the volume & it's originally like that. It doesn't bother me. I just needed to know why.
Does anyone else have a really mushy vibrate in there nexus 4, I can here it spinning. It's not crisp like my old Galaxy S.

In all seriousness, no.

Yep. My most irritating (and only real) issue. Something tells me they're all like that. You can only hear it when it's really quiet but it's super annoying.
I would recommend downloading FauxClock from the market. It is the app everyone is using to change then screen colors. It has an option to change the vibration setting. Default is 70% and you can see if it can be fixed.

RMA it OP..tell em the vibrator is not good and makes weird noises
There was another read I read a week ago stating that the vibration on the N4 is different from the other phones. I don't remember what it is exactly that I read but it was somewhere close to the lines that it feels more realistic or something. I probably don't make any sense right now, but it's working as intended not a defect.
I just increased the strength and it feels so much better now.

OP can flash a custom kernel such as Franco to change the vibration control.
Use their respective app to change vibration or use the free alternative, Trickster Mod (Play Store)

The Nexus 4 use a linear motor instead of the more common rotational, counterbalanced variety. It is quieter and much more controlled. I very much prefer it.

^^ What he said, pretty much sounds like the same thing I read. If I'm not mistaken, it might of been you who I read that from in another thread.
I prefer it as well, day one I used my N4 I was like wow this feels different but in a good way. I've been in situations where my vibration of my phone is so loud and I can hear it outside of my pocket. Sitting in class and not being able to deny the call or whatever.
I can't grasp how Google thought that a fricking fart under your fingertips is a good thing. Using faux now with vibration set back to 58%, it's far from the short burst I'm used to from the gnex but bearable. It could heal the washed out colors as well. Dunno why Google doesn't calibrate, it diminishes the value of their devices.

Agreed. I notice the difference with the haptic feedback on all the key presses. I prefer it as well.
Actually, the first thing I commented on about the phone was how nice the haptic feedback felt when I first opened it up. I much prefer the linear motor in the Nexus 4, as opposed to the unbalanced rotational vibrator in anything else I've played with. It is tough to explain, but it just feels more controlled and clean.
Maybe mine is faulty then because it feels anything but clean. It doesn't feel like one pulse, there are lots of little after shocks.

If you get franco Kernel you can change the feedback strength (franco is 100 ... stock is 70).
Took everything in me to keep my reply PG :laugh:

Stock kernel also supports vibration strength change. Just download trickster mod and you can change it.

Don't know if this is supposed to be happening but anytime I play an audio file such as a ringtone or alarm or what have you, the sounds start off really quiet and then boost to their full volume after a second. Is there a setting I overlooked or is this by design? Anyone else seeing this?

Settings, sound, increasing ring tone option? Not sure if that's it or not.
I have caught this also where it starts off quite and then all of a sudden gets really loud but don't think it is every time.

Does it happen every time or on random? Some phones have in the settings->audio->fade in option.
Maybe its somewhere deeper in sound options?
Or esle, it could be some kind of software bug, hopefully not.
Hmm, it seems to happen more when I make it make a sound, like messing with the ringtone setting or volume control. Hit the volume rocker once and it's a barely audible beep even though it's almost all the way up. Hit it again and it blasts at full volume lol
Reboot doesn't do away with it

Sent from my XT1575
Nobody mention that in the review, thats odd. We really need some quality in depth reviews.
Doesnt sound good (no pun intended).
I think it is some sort of speaker protection. I was playing music at call it 30% (it faded in). Then, as I cranked up the volume, it seemed to level off meaning 80%-100% sounded almost identical. Maybe an auto leveler/compressor to protect the twin speakers?
Complete speculation, your thoughts?
If you look at moto's official specs, they list something like "stereo speakers with smartboost". This tells me they have some sort of "feature" that dynamically controls speaker volume also.

I notoiced this too, really don't like this... First 2-3 seconds it's very low
I've had my V20 for over a month now and I personally love this phone and have it set up almost exactly the way I like it (just waiting for Xposed), and maybe it's just me but one thing I've noticed is that haptic feedback is so weak (even set to maximum) it's practically non existent. The vibration levels for notifications aren't too bad especially compared to haptic but imo they still could use an increase, so does anyone know if it would be possible to increase the maximum haptic and vibration levels when rooted? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion! I just lowered mine down to try it out and I get what you're saying because idk if it's just in my head but I can already tell a difference while typing this message. I'll give it a try for a while to see if I still notice it over time but it honestly does seem like it made a difference so thanks again for the suggestion, I'd still like to know if there's any way to increase it though because even though what you said seems to have helped it still just feels a little too weak compared to what I'm used to.

Yeah coming from the note 7 the v20 is very weak unfortunately. I could have heard my note 7 vibrate when on a flat surface from another room lol
It's so bad i can hear it vibrating/echoing. Is everyone else's this strong? And if you have/had a 3/3T do you think it is a lot stronger?
There's an option to decrease the vibration and intensity and even the vibration pattern. You could try that.
Oh boy.
Yes. As the other guy mentioned. You can decrease the intensity in setting.
But also: I am coming from a htc10. The OP5 is way more quiet / weaker than my 10. If you think the OP5 is loud, the htc 10 would be an earthquake to you ;D

I love the 3T vibration. It's there just enough to know it's there. My wife doesn't think the 5 is as strong as her iPhone 7+ vibration so I guess I'm just used to the 3/3T plus personal preference.
I Love the Vibration of the op5, but i Need longer Vibration!!!! Even in WhatsApp settings it doesnt Work

Coming from the s7, the haptic feedback is so strong, even on Light intensity... It would have been nice if it was more refined The s7 is far superior in this aspect.
Regarding htc10, when I first got that in hand, the haptic feedback was a instant no go for me :-s

Coming from the Galaxy S4, the vibration on the OP5 is much too weak for my tastes.
Is it still too strong? I recall reading that an update lowered the intensity overall. Does anyone know what was changed? I'd like to be able to increase it back (if safe to do so). Hoping it's rom based and not kernel. Or if it's kernel, maybe a custom kernel already has it increased
