Hello guys, i've got the N4 from exactly 1 month and at first the vibration feedback was awesome, really deep and good. Now the feedback is barely notable, but only in short vibrations.
Example:
-Good/normal feedback with vibrations that lasts more than 10ms like sms and calls notifications
-Poor/barely notable feedback with the haptic feedback of the 3 navbar buttons and of the standard 5ms feedback of the stock keyboard.
I can adjust the "power/intensity" of the haptic feedback with apps like "Franco kernel updater" but my fear is that the problem can be worst in time.
What do you think? Have you noticed a similar behaviour with your N4? Do you think it's normal or it's a hardware problem?
PS: I searched on XDA and there's dome threads about similiar problems, but seems that for the other guys the problem was for all time of vibration.
Sorry for the bad english
R: Vibration / Haptic feedback problem, and you?
No one can give me an answer or a tip?

I have the same problem with my Nexus 4. The vibration, especially with typing used to be very good, now I can barely notice it. I have to crank up the vibration to 100 in kernel settings, but before I could leave it as is and have no issue with vibration. I do increase the haptic feedback vibration too, but it doesn't have that deep vibration feeling like it once had.

Yeah, I agree. I'm surprised no one else has this problem.

Just curious how many of you use this feature.
Waste of battery IMO..
yes for keyboard and home key.
i used to hate this feature on those cheapo samsung phones of yesterday but i started using it because it felt better to type with...at least
It annoys me.
I use and love it. Lets me know I hit all my letters when typing.

I always had a fear of all that buzzing having a negative effect on the motor eventually causing it to break ,
so i just dont use it
Nope. I turned it off to save battery.

Definitely a waste of battery, the sound feedback is enough
My friend has haptic feedback enabled on his Moto Droid. Annoying as hell for ME as you can hear him type and push keys. Haha.
I love it. It simulates a kind of tactile feedback that is otherwise missing.

Every now and then, when opening an app or using the system buttons at the bottom, a very short "click" noise comes from the speaker. I have my N4 on silent/vibrate all the time and it is not an operating system noise that's meant to be there because its random. The best way to describe it is that it seems like the phone is "accidentally" starting to play a sound then stopping because its realised its in silent mode.
Anyone else getting this? Views on this problem?
(It happened again as I was typing this, so it happens through the the keyboard key presses as well)

Haven't had that problem once in the two days I've had this.

Media Volume
Maybe you have to turn down the media volume.
I don't have a nexus 4, but I do get that random click noise on my incredible s as well, and from many different roms. I am not sure what it is, though.
Key press noise in settings turn it off may stop it the Gnex had this issue and still does

I get that click noise occasionally on my HTC HD2.
Running PACMAN 4.1.2 Jellybean at the moment.
I had this issue as well. I just turned off touch sounds and all is well.
I should note that I have keyboard sounds enabled and I do not experience the random clicking noise.
It seems to be isolated to the enabling of touch sounds, whether on vibrate or any audible volume.

Could it possibly be the autofocus that people are taking about?

It does sound like that . mine sounds loose when I tap that back glass everything seems to be working OK and not sure if I'll let it bug me just yet

I have the autofocus rattle issue as well. But I rarely if ever would shake my phone like that.
At this point I am just grateful that I got my phone, let alone got my phone earlier than projected. There are a lot of people that would love to hear the rattling of the autofocus on their N4.

Power Management
Ok... I think this is correct,
The audio chip like most other IC's are entering power saving mode milliseconds after you hear any audio so the small click is the powering up and down of the audio hardware... Many phones do this and many people don't notice it.
It's quite normal but if you have very good hearing it might bother some more then others.

It seems like a touch sound issue.
Make sure you've got touch sounds turned off by going:
Settings > Sound > Touch Sounds (disable the checkbox)
Ok so its not the regular have a headset on static every phone call i place starts with static then the static dies out.. Next the vibrations for text and w.e suck on this phone they are so feel barley can feel them.. Is this just software or hardware problems? Only two problems with my N4

Its weak I can't even notice it while its on NY table my s3 was perfect vibrations were great

I'm the same, I barely notice the vibrations. This is in comparison to my Bother's Blackberry Curve which makes me jump out of my skin when it vibrates. I guess it's good that we have the LED at the front so we don't miss messages.
I just noticed that I'm not getting any haptic feedback on my Nexus 4, whether on the keyboard or the navigation buttons. I've had the phone for just under a month and have really loved the haptic feedback, but tonight I'm not getting anything. In fact, I'm not getting any vibration from the phone at all, including when I power it on and off. I haven't changed any of the settings and "vibrate to touch" is on.
Is the motor toast or am I just missing something?
Google is just going to send me a replacement. I'm a happy camper.

If you're getting a replacement then there is no need to answer you but I feel like it lol. Your motor is dead. That happened to me on my old Hercules.

I'm just glad it happened so early after my purchase. It would have been much more difficult to deal with afterwards.

mods delete please!
It works just fine for me, but you can adjust the amount of vibration the phone has for a couple different things... It's under Settings>Sounds>Vibration Intensity. I think it's the Haptic option, after some testing.
...
OK, I just did a vibrate only test. No sound.. and nothing happens. All vibrations on max haptic is on and I got nothing coming from it. Can someone test this out for me?

Haha. Noob failure of the day.. i should have done a better Google search. The power saving mode which i didn't know was on actually turns off the haptic feedback. -___-
