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 guys, I've been using the HTC One x for about 3 weeks now. I noticed this creaking sound from the bottom right part of the phone if pressed with some force which I got over, and this haptic feedback noise that came occasionally along with it. Thought I would get used to it, and I did. Spoke about this in another thread earlier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653220
The problem now is that any form of haptic feedback is making an annoying click noise. Earlier it was restricted to the touch sensitive panel and now even while typing down a number or typing in general with haptic feedback on is making this annoying noise.
What I want to ask is, are there any others facing this? I saw a thread by BugsyLawson http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653220
And can this be fixed with a software update? Or its a pure hardware problem? Any solutions?
Definitely sounds like a hardware problem, I'd get your One X exchanged for a new one

I have this problem, after about 2 months just started happening, whilst it can be quiet annoying only notice it at night when I'm using my phone and its silent
Not annoying enough for me to send my phone off for a fix tho

I have the same problem also. The creaking sound disappeared after a week of use, but the clicking sound is still here. It's most noticeable when using the ICS keyboard from Play Store on default vibration.
I can't get it replaced also atm as I'm out of the UAE(got the phone from there)
Would love to get it exchanged though, as this hox has a stuck pixel too
So since no fix is gonna happen, I've gotta bear with the sound and get used to it. If I do go to the UAE soon, I'll try getting it replaced.
I have this issue on the AT&T US version. I use Swiftkey and turned down the haptic feedback duration and it's only noticeable on the capacitive buttons now. Even then it seems to come and go.
I've debated exchanging too. However this is fairly minor compared to the issues that others are reporting.

That's exactly how it used to be for me. The capacitive buttons would randomly make the sound during the haptic feedback.
Now its haptic feedback in general, the capacitive buttons make the sound 9/10 times now. I've kept it off for the keyboard(even I use swiftkeyx) but I've kept it on for the dialing-pad so it does happen there.
quick settings
I use quick settings and find it disturbs the haptic feedback but if you turn haptic feedback off in the quick settings menu its all good
Well for one, I don't see any setting for haptic feedback in quick settings.
Two, I like having haptic feedback on for the capacitive panel and when I'm dialling a number. It's just really really annoying to have the phone make this weird noise every time it vibrates. I still haven't gotten used to it.

Your not understanding what I mean.when your using quick settings app press menu/prefrences/and turn haptic feedback just for the app off(you still have haptic everywhere else just not in the app.this fixed it for me
This is pretty annoying actually. I'm sure that in CM7 you could turn down the duration of the haptic feedback. Does anyone know if there is a way to do it on CM9 or if it is possible to create a MOD that will lower the vibration duration?
Yeah I get the sort of clicky creaky sound too. Bugs me a bit. I think it only does it when I have my hard cover on the back (but it's a PITA to remove, so haven't experimented much)
I have this aswell and I understand why it's annoying. It makes the whole device feel.... Cheaper (well atleast I think so ).
I also had this issue on my sensation and my wife got it after some days use on her One S.
It seems to be somewhat of an HTC "feature"
Im interested in WHY HTC phones end up with this "issue". Seems it seems to be so common on their phones?
My other phones (Sgs2 fo example) never had this, there the feedback feeling and noise where "tight" so to speak
My solution was simply to turn the damn feedback off!
I've gotten used to it now -_-
and no turning haptic feedback off as a "solution"
You pay so much for the device you expect quality... My first time with htc, and not feeling so good about my purchase as I did before the defects came up.
Haptic feedback is when you press on a screen button and it vibrates right?
Or on the hardware buttons they vibrate isn't?
I don't hear a creaking clicky sound nothing if that's what you mean?
Tried top/middle/bottum of the screen and the hardware buttons from left to right, pressing harder then usual with my finger to test if I could find but nothing.
My device feels very comfortable and not cheap at all, it feels good/massive as one solid piece of machine.
Ladies and Gentleman are you sure it isn't your wooden table?
It was the table! Oh wait, it was a bad joke -_-
xD
And haptic feedback is the vibration you get when touching the screen or the capacitive panel.
I'm not saying F*** HOX I'm gonna sue them! I love my phone, just the experience would have been better without this.
Haha.. sorry if you think it's a bad joke, I was only kidding.
I know what you mean, thanks, no creaking sound/issue here.

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.
I've had a Pixel XL since Friday and I've found the vibration to be very soft. Has anyone else had this issue? I normally leave my ringer off and just rely on vibrate but I think I won't be able to with this phone. Thanks
Yeah it is really bothering me, waiting for root and kernel controls so I can increase the intensity.

Is it softer than the 6p? It barely vibrates at all
It does seem fairly soft, I don't notice it most of the time (though I've always relied on sound anyways). But I do have a fairly think case on so that could definitely be absorbing the vibration on my end.
I find the vibration is not necessarily weak, but subtle by design. Not quite as strong as the 6P, but not a problem as such. I suppose I prefer this vibration motor to most others (anything is better than the chainsaw the Nexus 6 was!)

I missing my chainsaw a little right now after I found this thread. Hopefully my case that arrives tomorrow will help.
I find it is quite strong

Root + the new ElementalX kernel + EX Kernel Manager, will give you vibration options.
Make vibration softer or stronger. Your choice.
Working as of today.
Its hard to rely on sound if at work you need to turn it on vibrate... i wonder if some peoples pixels are stronger than other pixels

I have a OnePlus 6 and between the cheap, hollow vibration motor and some touch latency, typing is a nightmare. I have tried to get used to it, but can't . When I use my HTC U12 or LG V35, the difference is night and day.
Anyone care to comment on how it is for this phone? I'm seriously considering picking one up, but I don't want to end up right back where I started. Thanks!
Having the same question lol
Touch latency is very good. Vibration motor is still weaker than both my original moto g and my One M8, but not that bad.
There's even a glove mode so you can use the phone with gloves.
Update: I found a setting in the display section for Vibration Intensity, upon sliding it to full the vibration is indeed very strong now! It's on par with the phones mentioned above.
