[Q]TD2/Pure Owners: Vibration Rattling?

Hey everybody,
I purchased a Pure last Sunday, and have noticed that the vibration doesnt feel as "solid" as i'd like it to.
A big pet peeve of mine was that my fuze made a lot of noise when it vibrated because the two halves (if you want to call them that) (screen and keyboad) buzzed against each other. I was really hoping to have a feel on the pure similar to the iPhone where its an inaudible vibration (the way it should be).
My Pure vibrates and it sounds like something is rattling around inside, not like its physically shaking the device. Anyone have any similar comments or different experience? I'd like to go swap my pure out with AT&T if it means I'll get a quieter vibrate... Thanks!

If the sound comes by the camera that is normal. Like if you move or tap the back of the phone. Its the auto focus.
I it's not that then IDK. All I know is that the phone doesn't vibrate enough form me and I've never had noise problems. Not even from the camera when vibrating.
I use this (Touch Response) It works great and gives for better tactile feedback. You can set the intensity by making it vibrate shorter or longer. My prefered settings are in the first post I made. (The First Post LOL)

yeah, i used touch response for my Fuze. its hard to tell where my rattling is coming from, maybe i'll swing by the store and get a demo unit to buzz...

I have a weird rattle as well, if i tap the back of the top of the unit it makes a rattle sound. Sometimes when it vibrates the sound is odd too so i assumed that the rattle was that. Is that what ur rattle is like?
I took it to carphonewarehouse and they were like send it off to HTC to get it fixed, would take 2 weeks so i was like hmm its working fine atm so dont worry.

That rattle your getting is the auto focus camer. It is normal. Use the camera and you can here it move and fixate when you take a pic. It's like that when not in use.

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.

[Q] Haptic feedback clicking

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!

Vibration in Galaxy S8 is too weak

Hi,
Do you feel the same as I, so the vibration in Galaxy S8 is too weak?
Is it a known issue? Is there any way to make it stronger?
I don't have any case, and the vibration is on max, and I have already played with the vibration patterns.
Thanks.

Is someone here has a similar problem?
If the phone is on something soft for example or in my pocket, I hardly ever feel it.

It's not weak. Have you turned up the vibration in setting.
I can even hear my phone vibrate when my friend is typing on it, and i'm like 1-2 meter away from it.

Of course it turned on. All are on max.
Only when it's on a hard surface I can feel/hear it.
Maybe I missing something or other setting, or there is actually a real problem?

I wouldn't call i weak , however my htc 10 was way better for vibration! It was almost too strong ha The s8 is weaker but not weak! My only issue with vibrate is that once you disable vibrate.... its disabled for ALL sound modes! So lets say i turn off vibrate but later i attend a meeting and i want to put my phone on silent but i want my phone to vibrate.... it wont and theres no way to adjust it for each different sound mode! In fact even if i select the sound mode "vibrate" it wont vibrate once you turn vibrate down/off then its off universally! This sucks as with EVERY phone i have ever owned it was always something you could adjust for each individual sound mode/profile!

But if the phone is placed on some papers you don't notice that something happened.
It wasn't like that with the previous devices.

I TOTALLY agree - vibration is WAY TOO WEAK. Rarely feel it when phone is in my pocket and the only time I do hear it is if it is on a hard surface. I wish there was a way to download an outside vibration. I hope someone can answer this.

I dont want to know what yall are doing with your phones ?️?️?️?️

I opened this issue when the phone was new, and the situation is pretty the same today.
As I said for notification that using vibration you almost don't notice it, only when there is a phone call, and also it's too weak. Only on hard surface you can notice it.

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?
