when the XPERIA vibrates in my pocket i can literally not feel it.... its that weak!
I saw in another thread that H-Torch can damage it but i havent used that at all really - but maybe the 20 seconds i had it on has already damaged my vibrator?
Its so weak its stupid now
any help would be greatly appreciated.
also it sounds really loud yet i can barely feel the vibrate even in my hands
Sadly the most useful thing about the vibration is that it is noiser than the ringtones.
I agree, it isnt that strong.
really disapointing
true..and i used H-torch and it killed my vibration component and now my phone doesnt vibrate at all, can say that i miss much though.
i agree with all your posts
unfortunately i cannot add and positive thoughts on how to solve it.
I have hTorch and my X1 vibrates normally. But I think the strength of the vibration is not very big I must admin (and this far much before I had the idea to visit xda and install hTorch).
My best strong vibrating phones were Nokia 3210, 7210 and 7250, people around me always told me my phones were responsibles for the earthquakes But at that times, the battery was used only to power a GSM not a full computer like we have now, so I guess it was not difficult to have get energy to get big vibrations
i dont think the vibrate has alerted me to a single message or call yet! i keep missing calls and texts i think its more down to the size of the vibrator in the phone rather than the battery. if anything it should be more powerful with that 1500mah battery. i would of thought the inside of the X1 is quite full so they could only squeeze in a small vibrating unit.
yea - the vibrator in the phone is almost pointless
it's not that much strong . .
i don't use it anyway
You can't just sit there with your sound on (and I don't want to forget to turn it off) so I have since I have a mobile (I think 7 years now) always had it on vibrating, but this is the first phone where I look at the screen and somebody called me and I missed it. Most of the time I don't feel it, expecially when I'm cycling. Very annoying!
think we should complain to se and tell them to make it better or put in a better vibrate or something because its so useless currently
Well I think they can maybe solve it with a software update. It seems as the vibrator is vibrating to fast so it gets an 'even' feel and you don't notice it that much.
You guys are too used to your vibrators in your pocket...lol

What are you a girl or something? Men don't need vibrators.
I dropped my X1 yesterday and now it vibrates a lot stronger. I guess some part inside the phone shifted ...
Kind of annoying, since I didn't think it was to weak
lol chalid...
well guys, have the same problem...The first time I miss calls and texts... It is a little bit too weak, not much though.
Yeah, lets complain, maybe they do something
i tot it was too strong lol
My vibrate function just died ...
y will it die???
It is definitely weaker than other phones I've had recently (Kaiser & V3x), but I always have my phone on vibrate, and very rarely miss a call due to not feeling it. If I'm walking I may miss a message mind you, but generally it's ok.
So it could be better, but I don't think it's as bad as some are making out (though perhaps mine is vibrating more vigorously than some of yours!).
I'm sure this is something attributable to the mechanics of the camera module but...
Hold your Hero near the bottom. Then lightly tap the camera end against your other hand. Do you hear something kinda loose/shaking? I think it's maybe the autofocus mechanism, as I hear the same sort of sound when the camera activates.
Just wondering if you all notice this too?

Nope, nothing at all with mine. All sounds... well there is no sounds, its just solid and well built
Hmm... anyone else notice this?
This is a bump for anyone who can confirm or deny that their Hero has this issue, before I seven-day it for another one. I don't want a slightly rattly phone
Cheers.
Yeah - I feel a slight vibration. Like a camera autofocus system. Not a problem, feels well built, but it's definitely there.
Yes, I can hear the "rattle" too - I seriously doubt it is indicative of a problem though.
Regards,
Dave
No noise on mine sorry
You guys saying "Nope no noise on mine" must be deaf , I work for Orange in the UK and we have 10 Graphite Heros in the stockroom and they all do this, also a friend has a white hero and his does the same incase you guys thought it might be only on the Graphite ones Orange stock.
Im pretty sure its the autofocus, so i wouldnt worry! and the guys saying they cant hear it must not be listening for the right sound! faint tapping noise when you gently pat the phone on your palm.
Yeh that is it exactly. It's a bit annoying as im easily irritated by that kind of thing. Good to know its normal tho, guess I won't send it back now. Actually I heard the same noise from my friends touch HD today aswell.
Just seemed quite noticeable on mine but I'm probably imagining that.
It detracts somewhat from the otherwise solid build, that a slight rattle can be heard when you kinda toss the phone around in your palm or from hand to hand. Makes it feel a bit less solid.
One of the few things that's really annoying me about this phone is the haptic motor. It feels so cheap in comparison to other phones I've had. When it's vibrating for a text message or a phone call it's just fine, but when it's used for haptic feedback or typing it has this rattle/crackle sound that it makes that is super annoying. I think it has something to do with it being used for short bursts of feedback. I've toyed around with feedback duration during typing, but still get it. Do I just have a defective phone, or is this something other people experience too?
Really? It's the opposite for me. I find the vibrate a little too strong/loud when receiving texts etc, but feedback while using the keyboard and unlocking the screen feel really good to me.
I'm glad to have a strong vibration. Half the time I could not feel my G2 when it vibrated.
For texts, I love this vibration as it's not as hardcore as my Nexus 6. That one aggravated the sh*t out of me. As for the crackling sound, I just turned the vibrate on for SwiftKey, and I indeed noticed it too. I used to love the keyboard vibration, but I turned it off after a while. I'm glad I did, because that crackling would aggravate me to no end. Just letting you know this is not a defective device for you. Seems to just be the motor itself.
I got that too and I just noticed it today. It kind of makes a rattling noise when I am typing. Read a post on reddit where this guy compared two pures and apparently one of them didn't have that issue. The vibration was soft and fluid, with no rattle.
I absolutely love the vibrate. it's not that harsh buzzy vibrate like my Samsung or LG.. it's a nice like, round, flubby vibrate like the htc phones used to have lol

My vibration is loose as well. I also saw that reddit thread where someone was comparing two phones.
I did a Live Assistance chat with Motorola the other day and the rep said this was normal. Judging from the questions they were asking me, I think they thought I was mistaking the noise with the audio-notification (I'm not...). He/she kept trying to get me to adjust the notification volume.
In the end, the rep said they were going to escalate the issue to level 2 tech support and that someone would contact me. Exact words were:
"Just want to inform you that it is normal when you activates vibration on your phone but to lessen the worries on your mind, I will refer you and this concern to our level 2 technical support department to further assist you."

Probably luck of the draw. The only bad motor I've really had was the original moto x. All my other phones have been fine. And I've been through quite a few. Didn't bother me that much since I don't like haptic feedback for touches really and it was turned off most of the time. If it really bothers you trade it for another if possible.
Yeah, i love my moto x but the haptic motor feels like a device from more than a decade ago. I don't understand why they just couldn't go with the button style vibrating motor that samsung has.
My motor feels fine. The original moto x I had felt like it was gonna rattle loose.
(deleted)
At times I think I hear a rattle, other times its way too loud, and other times it's fine.
Guys, please, do this test:
Shake the phone in a (totally) silent room (maybe better at night), or next to your ear.
The strength of the shake must be like that you use to enable the torch with "chop chop" gesture.
Let me know if you ear something "moving" (cannot describe it in another way) inside your phone. I think it's the vibration motor, because the feedback it gives during texting, is different whether i use my phone in normal way (screen face up), or at bed (screen face down). Thanks
I barely have to shake my phone in order to hear what you're talking about

So i'm not the only one.. Is this supposed to be normal?
Like a sensor moving, or something like this..
sounds like it's coming from the top. probably something in the camera module or the headphone jack

Shaking probably won't work. Camera sensor isn't stationary in a lot of phones.
yeah, my vibration motor is a little wonky also. I her a little extra rattle that I don't usually get on my other devices. it kinda annoys me but I'll run it for a few more days and see how bad it gets on my nerves.
Yeah, I have this issue as well, and had the same issue on my old Droid RAZR Maxx (in which the haptic feedback gave out after a little less than a year and a half). I think it's a Motorola thing.
May be the answer!

I just got my Pure Edition 32GB. Really surprised and eventually extremely annoyed by the same rattling sounds you've been experiencing. I think I just got a solution (IF you are using stock GOOGLE KEYBOARD -which is great for me- ) :
Menu>Settings>Language & Input>Google Keyboard>Preferences>Vibration Strength on keypress: SET IT ON 40ms.
Like magic.
Hi people. I noticed people were pretty unhappy with the OPO vibrator (I never had one). The first thing that I noticed when I used the OPT was the terrible sounding vibration motor. It is loud and it sounds like a cheap bullsh*t phone. Does anyone else experience this or is only my model?
Is there any way to compare mine to other models? Maybe someone wants to share a sound recording or something, so we can start to compare

i wish mine sounded like a jackhammer lol. mine is so light i can never hear it but i've learned to deal... makes me look at my phone much, much less.
I didn't want to start a completely new thread, so I'm just gonna resurrect this one...
I seem to have some issues with vibrate on touch, namely that the vibration is loud and that every 3rd or 4th vibration is louder with a clicky sound to it... Anyone else experiencing anything like that?
Mine is the same. Seems like the motor is slightly loose. Slightly annoying but not a real problem for me, I just hope it doesn't get worse. I have had previous phones where the motor got louder over time.
Same the vibration engine seems to be not the best quality.
Alright! Was worried i might have to send it back, now i can unlock the bootloader in peace!
I cannot feel my 6t vibrate at all. If it's on a table, even Ina quiet room, it's very difficult to hear vibration. Does anyone else have this issue?
While I do feel it is the weakest vibration motor in a phone ever. I wouldn't say I never feel it even on a table. There is a setting to adjust it.
Settings/ sound
Vibration intensity. I have mine set to strong

I totally disagree..ideally you aren't supposed to hear the vibration..if you want to hear notification you turn on sound. Vibration is something you feel. Immediately when using this phone for the first time I was struck with how nice the vibration felt compared to my old phone (Moto x pure). It's all subjective
I've noticed the vibration can very rarely be felt while wearing baggy pants, tighter fitting clothes though I feel it fine. Luckily for me I only ever wear baggy pants while at work where my phone is almost always sitting on a work bench.
I miss the old blackberry vibration motors that would literally rattle the phone off the table on their strongest setting. With phone in holster I rarely feel the vibration alerts; previous phones like 3T or before that LG G3 I could feel while holstered no problem.
So my feedback to OnePlus would be to get stronger motor next phone.

Is it just me or does the vibration motor seem to weak at times and get stronger other times. Then you get the situation where the keyboard doesn't vibrate at all.
Totally agree...... vibration is weak and it's impossibile to use
Hello, sorry for the hard words but.... IMHO and for my needs the haptics of this phone are just a joke and totally useless. I rarelly want to hear my phone ringing (office, home or outside) and even with a skinny trousers it´s very hard to feel a whatsapp much less a call.
I was very close to return the phone and buy a POCO F1 for that reason (a really heave reason for me and many other smartphone users). For a phone of this range price it´s a shame having a vibrator with this quality. Very very bad OnePlus.
I think the biggest problem with the vibration is the extremely short pulses. Textra has configurable vibration patterns, but I don't like the way it looks. What I have done to fix the problem for myself is to install Xposed and use gravity box on top of many other cool features it has a notification controller that allows you to select vibration pulse lengths.
People still use the vibration and haptic feedback? I haven't used it in 7+ years... Mainly because my SO hates the sound of it xD
Yeah weak as hell here can't even here it on a table lol and all on max

I would rather not hear a ringer all the time personally and with the short vibration pulses of stock I can't feel the phone go off either. I just want to know I got a text without having to announce it to the world, but as anything everyone has a preference.
Coming from a Pixel 2XL and 3XL, the vibration motor seems very "cheap/loose" to me. It's not as prominent as the Pixels and I don't feel it in my pocket if I'm walking around in a mall or something. I do feel it when it's in my hand though.
If this can be improved on, along with the camera and fp sensor, OnePlus would have a beast of a phone on their hands.
I have used OnePlus x .
It was awesome.. very low frequency , very soothing while typing ....
Vibration in 6T is like very high fast ie high frequency... It's entering the audible zone of frequencies... The higher the frequency , the more it will not cause vibrations that are felt .. it will cause vibrations that are heard.
I wonder how they get to degrade while new phones get released.
Wont they have previous experience and logs ??
Or is that new people coming in and they don't know the history of the company / had no part in it.
