The vibration level of the DZ is very, very loud... when I have the phone on my table, everyone can here the phone vibrating, and even during a meeting, when I have my phone in my pocket, everyone can hear it.
All my other phones (except for my HTC's) were perfect, it's just HTC with their crappy vibration. My HTC Wizard had it, my HTC TyTN II had it too.
Is it possible with some hacks to reduce the virbation level in Gingerbread? I saw that option in ICS, but there's nothing like it in Gingerbread... is there any hack?
It's very annoying that I can't put my phone on vibrate during meetings, because even that is too loud...
I know what you're asking and I have no idea, but one thing I noticed is having certain cases will reduce the vibration noise when the phone is on a hard surface, as will placing the phone on a softer surface.

Even on soft surfaces and in my pocket, it's still too loud...

Comparing my brother's gsm with my cdma galaxy nexus, I've noticed a few things.
I feel like the gsm model has a slight bit higher tolerances in fit and finish. the volume button is the same as the power button snug, doesn't wiggle and firm to the touch.
The cdma one has slightly larger cutouts of the volume button so there's some play and wiggle room. This bugs me slightly as it rattles a bit when the phone vibrates.
Another thing I noticed is the touch vibrate on the on screen keyboard or even the on screen home/back/task buttons aren't as strong as the vibrate motor on the gsm. feels dampened and not as crisp. If i had to guess, feels like 50% of the amount of feel in the gsm.
Other than that. besides the slightly thicker phone .5mm ish it feels about the same in the pocket and weight. only if you hold both side by side will you notice the slightly thicker back of the cdma
anyone else have similar comments to add or share?
does your CDMA volume keys rattle? or wiggle? does your vibrate feel almost unnoticeable when you type or unlock?
thanks!
my cdma volume rocker does move but I do not notice a rattle when vibrate is active.

My phone is on vibrate 24/7. Never hear a rattle. Shouldn't assume anomalies within the manufacturing process are consistent with every device. If it bugs you that much, maybe you could exchange. Although I'm not sure they will accept "wiggly volume rocker" as a defect
Edit: in response to above, mine doesn't even move.

I'm on my second cdma galaxy nexus. The first one I exchanged due to the bad signal issue, which wasn't really the case as we now all know due to these phones showing bars based on data and not 1x. Anyway, my first nexus had a loose volume rocker and had really obvious verticle banding at lower brightness levels. The replacement one I got has a solid volume rocker with no movement, and I've noticed that the screen has little to no verticle banding on low brightness levels. I'm guessing the first batch of cdma nexus phones had some fitting issues.
Beamed from my SCH-i515
I guess there are manufacturing tolerances in batches. grr
its not a big bother if it just wiggled. even the iphone 4s volume wiggled alittle. the annoying part is the rattling when the vibrate comes on.
I'll have to exchange. yes, minor.. but its a phone i have to live with for 2years.
thanks for the responses.
My volume buttons don't feel loose at all. But I do hear a rattle, I always thought it was the extended battery cover and my table or something.
I got to play with my sister in-law's LTE Nexus over the break and I actually liked that it was a bit heavier and thicker. I find the GN is a bit less comfortable in my hand compared to the NS. If there is an extended battery version for the GSM Nexus I will probably get it.
Hi everyone,
As some of you are aware, the vibration motor on the GN is so weak that it is literally impossible to feel it when it's in your pocket. I've searched everywhere for an App that increases the intensity but it has all been in vein. I've heard from multiple places that this is not possible, but it seems that some Android phones do have controls like this (DROID charge comes to mind).
Is it possible to somehow increase the voltage supplied to the vibration motor? Perhaps in a custom Rom? Or maybe even through a hardware voltmod?
Although I have no issue with the vibration motor in my GN(pretty strong to me), other phones I have used have had a weak vib. CM's roms have the ability to increase the vib motor.

So, when you receive a call while the phone is in your pocket, you can still feel it vibrate? I've found that it feels strong in my hands but that the fabric in my pocket absorbs it so I can't feel it against my leg. I can't even feel it in my pajama pants, which have very thin fabric.
When you say CM, you mean CyanogenMod? Based on my reading it does not look like it does what I am asking. If you have a phone with CM on it, can you show me a screenshot of those vibrate settings?
yes, I feel it in my pocket when i get calls. Yes, I meant CyanogenMod, It is possible the setting I was thinking of just dealt with the haptic feed back when touching keys. It has been awhile since I've used a CM rom. Sorry
hi all
is there any way how to get GN automaticaly vibrate when pocket, using proximity sensor, like it was on some Samsung or HTCs?
Thanks lads
Majjjjo
That was done by accelerometer, not proximity sensor. Proximity sensor shuts off when the screen sleeps. That said, it would be a nice mod.
I have had my HOX for about a week now and It seems that I am lucky since my phone is defect free in comparison to what other people are saying.
The only thing I noticed is the rattling noise when I shake the phone. Has anyone confirmed the source of the rattling?
Thanks

I hear a small little rattle when i type on the screen and haptic feedback is enabled. Its a really small sound. If that is what you are talking I have the same thing.
just dont shake it

i had that rattling noise as well in my previous two white HOX. Some say it could be due to the autofocus of the camera some say it is the sim tray card. If i was you send it back mate and try and get a new one if you can. Not a big issue but if you are a very picky person like me then swap it till you get a perfect one. I send two not just because of the noise but due to other factors and now i got my grey one i could not be any happier
I thought it was the camera optics moving, I removed the sim and it still rattled, it`s not a problem, how often do you shake it, it`s a phone not a pair of maracas
John.
Thank you guys for the responses!!!
i have a problem, can you make a test for me??
when i put headphones, and i press volume + for example, i hear a noise for 3 seconds, and it stops..it's really a problem!!
'cause now when i listen music , between 2 tracks i hear this noise
It is the phone's optics.
don't exchange if ur phone is perfect otherwise u might end up with one if the troubled one x, rattle is on most them anyway
no noise troubles on my sony xperia.. perfect sound
I ordered another one x and pretty much returned it after I opened the box because the rattling is on the new one also plus it had a scratch between the LCD and the Gorilla glass.
I am keeping my original HOX since it is defect free except the rattling noise.
My only concern is having a problem with the phone down the road due to moving parts, any wisdom?
Thanks.

I think it is the vibrate motor, my latest one x did a sharp hard click when the vibrate was going off, not long after initial setup.
This cause the vibrate feedback to become really weak, so long story short, it's going back on tues... How is the intensity of your vibrate feedback, especially when pressing the capacitive buttons?

just realized mine rattles...this is my 3rd HOX due to picky screen issues and everything else is fine...so I won't let this bother me and if something breaks...well thats what warranties are for.
It is very slight and doesn't seem to affect anything else....oh well- can't have perfection and this is one imperfection, among a myriad of others that I will deal with.

I think this might be something different (though I could be wrong). If you get strange clicking or popping sounds when starting or stopping music or changing volume etc, it could be down to some EQ or sound boosting app that you've installed.
I previously used an app called Volume+ (sound booster) on my HTC Sensation to help with the weak volume that it had. It worked great with the Sensation, but it causes no end of issues for me with the One X. It's just a though...
Bugsy.

Practically every HTC phone I've owned rattled to some degree when shaken. I wouldn't worry about it as long as that's the only time you hear it.
I can say, however, that over the course of a few days - the haptic feedback motor on my phone has changed from making a nice gentle humming sound to a slightly irritating click/slapping sound.

same thing happened with mine as well. makes me sometimes not bother with haptic feedback due to this. but get use to it in the end
Hey all anyone have an idea why the Note 2 has a nice big speaker but hide it behind plastic with only two small slits to let the audio out? Seems a little bit of an odd design decision.
Issue I'm having is vibration through the backcover when volume is at 70% anyone else noticed it? Not a deal break on an otherwise outstanding phone. Just a curious design decision.
I keep the vibration off so no ai havent noticed anything like that yet. But I do like how nice and loud the speaker is.

I think the OP meant that there is noticeable sound vibration through the cover at higher volumes. But yeah...It makes me wonder why Samsung decided to just have two small opening splits for the speaker. They should have just kept it open like the S3.
It still works better then the old note. Dont go as mute if you cover it with your palm. Seems they let it leak out from more places then just that 2 small slits. I can also get small vibrations but speakers usually do vibrate so i dont find it odd.
I have just received my HTC 10 (great phone overall) and vibration is really strong. Not ideal but not a massive problem, however haptic feedback is really annoying. You actually hear a metallic sound when you touch the fingerprint reader/home button or when typing in the keyboard, like a mild xylophone or something similar. And if the phone is sitting on a table it's very noticeable. Again it's not a typical vibration sound, it's more of a metallic thing. I was even wondering if the sound came from the speakers lol
Is this affecting other people? I wonder if if's just my handset.

Very interesting.
I always use power saver and don't prefer vibrate anyway but just checked it out and the noise is very odd.
Verizon variant

which is why i hate haptic feedbacks or vibrate
My Verizon variant does this as well. I describe it as kind of a hollow, metallic sound. I figured it was just due to the placement of the "vibrator(?)" within the metal frame.
I have just sent this unit back for replacement, let's see if the noise on the new one is any different.
I just read there are kernels which let you reduce the intensity of vibration (not just the duration like some keyboard apps do), this might be a workaround but you need a rooted device. If anyone gets to try this please share your results.
