Pretty good.

My wife loves it.

The vibrator intensity is perfect. I think iPhone 7 and Essential has the best vibrating motors of any phone.

Strong and loud. I hate the loud aspect.

Maybe it's just me... But mine feels super weak. Are you guys using it in a case or naked? I can't feel mine vibrate at all

mine is strong. much stronger than any of my HTCs or V20

Any way to adjust this? Maybe something wrong with mine

Note voice leak

Hi
Anyone has voice leakage problem during phone calls? Voice from the other side can be heard clearly by people around me...
How to fix this?
Um, turn the earpiece volume down...?

SO..it seems it's a problem with the Note and there's no way to really fix it (I don't mean ways to circumvent it)? Is it due to the long size of the speaker on top?
It sounds like it's due to the Note having a good volume band. If it's bugging you, turn it down. That's not really a work around is it? More of a choice, and which is a good thing I thought?

I really had to check it was not still April 1. I do not see a 'loud' speaker as a problem, as you can simply turn it down. I do not find my note to be too loud. If yoh are using a custom rom tben it might be the rom that is amplifying the sound.

The speaker is not long at all. The grill is, but that makes little difference.
The real problem is that the phone is so damned thin! The ear-speaker happily blasts out of the back too.
What is irritating is that you still get the issue where if the grill is not well positioned against your ear you cannot hear well, even though everyone around you can
Turn!
It!
Down!
'nuff said.
No.. there is NO problem with the Note..
if people around you can hear it then would you not say that is a real obvious clue that you have the volume too loud..? turn it down...or.. get you one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/7830/
problem solved.

One of the most underrated features on this device

The speakers!
I can't believe the audio quality that comes from them. I think it's fantastic! Anyone else agree?
I really enjoy them, too... Pretty great!

Absolutely! Came from an HTC ONE and this loud speaker is better. Not as much bass but better to me.

Motorola has always had some of the best speakers in their mobile devices.

Can't hold a candle to the HTC one but it is king when it comes to phones with only one speakers. Moto has always used great speakers in their devices. Now we just need to work on the camera but looking at the camera hardware it should just be a software issue.

Speaker sucks compared to my One. It's loud, but it's definitely not as nice as having two sweet ones pointing straight out from the front of the phone.

Agreed. The speaker is still great on the moto though. And I would take a small speaker with pretty loud and decent quality sound over the extra real estate the speakers on the htc one takes up.

Extra real estate? Not like they would have put something else there.

Can anyone comment on how they compare to the note 2 speakers? I'm toying with the idea of switching.

Just came from a GSII and the Moto X has a MUCH better speaker! I love how much louder it is and it's much clearer.

Exactly, don't put two boom speakers on the top and the bottom and make the phone smaller.

Rattle near the earpiece?

Anyone else hear a rattle near the earpiece if you shake the phone or tap it on the top corners? I also noticed my vibration doesn't feel as strong this afternoon, wonder if maybe my vibro motor is lose or something.
Didn't notice until i read your .
Its the same with mine. No problems with the vibrations.

Thanks. My friend with a G2 also hears it. I think it might actually be the camera stabilization, the sensor is suppose to kinda move around in there.
And I guess my vibro is fine, just my haptic feedback strength feels like a lot less tonight. Or maybe I'm crazy.
Yup, I believe that's just the optical image stabilizer moving about.

Build quality

Guys had my phone for about a week.
Im not too sure if this has been happening since i got it or not..
But if i gently shake my device it feels like something is loose around the camera module or in the camera
Can anyone confirm if this is a known thing?

nothing loose like that for mine G900T.

That's normal. The rattle you hear is the auto focus mechanism moving. My S5 does that too as do several others.

LG G6 Vibration stopped.

I seemed to have this issue with an old V10 but I thought maybe after 2 years the motor just got old. This phone is still new and I have lost all vibration function. Has this happened to anyone else yet or does anyone know if there is something I can do to confirm a defect/fix?
Have you used Smart Doctor app to diagnose and see if it picks up anything?

I'm looking for that app and only finding things for human health...do you know the company name?
Are your sure it's not an setting or something software related? If a factory reset does not resolve then you likely have an hardware problem. I had a hardware issue on my G5 like that. Motor didn't work for weeks, then one day I dropped it worked fine ever since.

It's an LG app on my G6 it comes pre installed.

Lucky you. I wish mine breaks I hate the vibrator in Android phones. They all feel so cheap. I want it gone when unlocking the phone too but I can't. It makes the phone feel cheaper than it looks with its poor vibrator feel (and sound).
Happened to me last night, LG G600S

Yes. Or at least I believe so as when battery saver engages the finger print sensor also stops providing vibration feedback.

launch lg g6 (LG-H871 rev 1.0) - opening weekend. Vibrate function completely died yesterday.
Using vibrate app to test - no results on manual press. shaking the phone yielded no results. Gonna get a replacement.
Glad to know Im not the only one getting this issue
Did you manage to find a solution? Mine just started doing the same. Vibration stopped, checked with vibration test apps, booted in safe mode, factory reset and nothing. I'd rather not send the phone for repair and warranty is out of the question.
Damn I'm not happy to see this thread. Mine seemed to have stopped today. Not sure why or how. I'm gonna have to do some digging and see what's going on
Mine just started the same thing. No vibration at all!
Same issue here. Vibration stopped working, no way to get it to work again.
Mine also has stopped. No feedback from the keyboard, fingerprint sensor or vibration from calls/texts.
I plan on reaching out to LG today to see what I can figure out.
Anybody have any luck on finding a fix yet?
Can you guys please also share your model number- European, US, single or dual sim, bootloader unlocked or not, rooted or not, any particular action after which vibration stopped working.
Thanks in advance.
I know that this is really going to help anyone, but someone on Reddit had the same problem, then it started working again.

Glad to have found this thread. Yesterday mine suddenly stopped working. I have the AT&T version.
