[Q] Haptic feedback clicking - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
Thanks!

Followed your instructions and "nope" no sound........
Its normal behaviour: turn your volume up all the way, trigger any sound. Then if you have good ears you can hear static at very low volume for about a second. Then the powermanagement cuts power to the amplifier and the phone goes completely silent again.
PS: Same behavior on my desktop PC running Fedora 12. You only hear the static from the soundcard if it suddenly stops ;-)
This is perfectly normal, when the hissing stops, thats the speaker turning off to save power, most other things with speakers do the same thing, it's not worth returning your beautiful Nexus One just for that...
EDIT: sorry, just noticed Volker1's post,
Yeah, I have the same thing, but as others said, it's normal behaviour.
Maybe the amplifier for the speaker is a bit noisier on this phone than some others, hence you can hear it before it gets switched off (might also explain the awful quality of the speaker phone experience)?

Clicking Noise From Vibration Motor - Anyone Else Notice This?

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.

Sounds about right to me it don't happen all the time so I just assumed it worked similar to a ps3 controller? Prob not but I have noticed but not been bothered by this

Occasional Popping Noise When Using Screen?

Sometimes when i press the screen to select something(ie. opening an app), a noticeable popping sound is heard. It happens a few times a day but it sometimes gets annoying.
What is the cause of this, i know it's not the camera focusing element.
You sure that it isn't just the touch sounds?

Yeah its not the touch sounds, its pretty faint and happens maybe 3/10 times.
This happens to me too. Im convinced that theres something wrong with my speaker because the sound happens only when i click on something that is supposed to make a sound (except its doesnt because its on silent). It also happens right before an audio file is played

I have exactly the same problem. It sounds like a extra click and it happens occasionally.
i had the same issue, sent for a replacement, and the replacement does the same thing.
anybody figure out whats causing this?

I'm afraid it's a speaker problem and not some kind of bug.
Even when the phone is on silent I hear the popping, very very annoying.
Its a hardware issue. I had it on my first n4 that I had RMA because of the screen.
My replacement device does not suffer from the issue.

Yep, same here - and I just replied to two other threads that sound like the same issue. One person said it happened after upgrading to 4.2.2. I think (and hope) this is a software issue. I just got my new Nexus 4 today, so I hope it's not a hardware issue.
This is happening to me. I thought I was going crazy lol.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for this forum first of all, its awesome. I joined especially for this issue because it seems lots of people have this problem. I noticed this problem when i got my phone yesterday. I have noticed that even when the phone is on silent, the speaker just turns on even though its not suppose to since touch sounds should be off. You can hear this by listening carefully to the speaker.
I got solved of the problem doing the following:
1. Go to settings.
2. Device -> Sound
3. Untick "Touch Sounds" option.
4. No more popping sound problem , although you dont have touch sounds.
It seems that even if you put your phone on silent thetouch sounds are active but dont produce sounds and keeps the speaker on when you press buttons. Might be software problem.
I hope this is helpful

I don't think that solves it. On mine, this occasional click happens with any sound (for example, go into settings for messaging to select an alert sound. If a sound has not been played for a while, the first sound you try will have the soft "click" right before it. Subsequent sounds will generally not have it. So I do not think it is related to only the touch sounds.
I'd guess that the reason it only happens when a sounds has not played "for a while" is that the sound hardware is being turned on right before the sound occurs.

Ohh ok, I guess I had another problem. My problem was that I would hear a soft pop even on silent when hitting buttons.
But after you mentioned the messing alert and hardware being turned on. I noticed it now. I think you might be right, they might be related to the sound hardware being turned on

Incoming calls - buzzing sound [video inside]

Hi,
I'm loving my OnePlus 5, but there is a strange behaviour with incoming calls. When the phone is ringing and vibrating, sometimes a really bad buzzing sound occurs every few seconds.
It doesn't happen with every call and I have absolutely no idea what's triggering it. I've thought about the vibration motor, but then it shouldn't only make that sound for some calls.
Anyone else with this issue?
Ok, I've done some tests and can easily reproduce the issue:
It happens when vibration is set to strong, like it is set default for calls, and the phone is lying somewhere. As soon as i touch the phone a little bit or take it in the hand, the sound stops. It cames definitely from the top (right?) of the phone.
It would be nice, if anyone could check if their phone makes the same noises. Either call your phone or simply go to vibrations settings.
I've made a video of the vibration sound on strong settings. Would anyone please be so kind to check it on his/her device? You can hear the strange noise pretty well.
OnePlus support told me it was normal.

Just tried on mine, doesn't have the issue, the support is clearly ****ing with you. If i had this issue, I would just get nuts

Thanks for your reply. I've set vibration to medium as a workaround. It would have been hard to believe every device is doing this ugly noise, especially since you hear it with standard settings for incoming calls.
Nevertheless I'd appreciate any further feedback wether his/ her device is affected or not.
Bro, I'd like to know if this issue got fixed for you? I am commenting because I started noticing this too.

I had to RMA the phone. Unfortunately it's the only solution.
I have 2 days left before my 10-day-replacement policy is over. You're saying, your replacement device doesn't have the issue?

vibration sound

hi all. I ask you a question, I wanted to know if you too the vibration of haptic feedback has a resonance noise

I know exactly what you mean, we all have the resonance sound from the vibration motor.
It was part of the reason why I chose to return my OnePlus 6 back in May, I couldn't get used to it.
Now I have a OnePlus 6T McLaren and although it has a bit less resonance sound than the old OnePlus 6, it's not perfect.
And I have compared with my friends who have a 6T, and they all sound the same.
Now you know
I think it all started with op5t. I switched from open back then... and noticed that nasty sound.
My gf keeps waking up when I try to type smthng in bed

If you are talking about the sound/vibration I think you are, it goes away when you turn off Touch Vibration in the Vibration section within the Sounds settings. Or is it something else you are referring to?
