[Q] Haptic feedback - how is yours? - HTC One X

I've just got my 2nd OX after I sent the first one back due to the very very light haptic/vibration feedback from the screen and buttons.
I've just test the replacement and it's EXACTLY the same. I know the vibration works normally on this and the one I sent back but it's just so light compared to my SGS2 (*pukes*), my trusty HD2 before that and my brother's new OS.
So what's the deal? How's your haptic feedback? Is there a way to set the strength of it?

I guess that is normal. I also have the impression that the haptic feedback is way to light - compared to my Galaxy S2.

Yeah the haptic feedback is relatively light. I personally prefer it that way .
Heard that AOKP ROMS may be coming to HOX and from memory, I think they give you the chance to change the length/intensity of the haptic feedback.

It's normal...
It's much lighter than other phones... but I like it this way. The GNexus I previously had had an annoyingly strong haptic feedback, so i turned it off...

So I sent back my perfect OX for one that might not be perfect?
Is there anything I can do to increase the duration of the vibration because it really doesn't work as it is for me.

Definitely lighter than previous phones, and for better IMO

Plus one. I can barely tell when I've hit or missed the soft key I was going for.
Back in the days of Cyanogenmod on my Thunderbolt, I remember there was a ridiculously intricate section built right into the Settings app for adjusting haptic feedback durations, patterns, intensity, etc. Perhaps it's possible to incorporate those settings into a rooted OneX or other Sense 4.0 device.
Oh, sorry for bringing up a somewhat old thread.

My haptic feedback feels reasonably strong, more so than the LG Secret I had years ago (the last phone I had to feature haptic feedback). I don't like it at all though, it's one of the first things I turned off. It seems that with my very fast typing the haptic feedback lags a little, which gives the illusion the whole phone is lagging. It isn't of course as the UI is responding perfectly.

I have increased the feedback with the keyboard, I have SwiftKey 3 installed for that though....

Yeah, would love to be able to turn the soft key vibration up a notch. It's pretty useless as is. Either that or add some sound to them.

Flash a cm10 ROM. Problem solved. Haptic feedback is great

Nah. Not fond of Cyanogen ROMs.

HOX about two weeks old, not rooted running apex pro nothing toi fancy. First my feedback is more pronounced than on other phones but that's nothing compared to what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (guessing) that is between 12 and 15 seconds at full vibration. If you've run a program to drain your battery with full haptic running. I'm at a loss and have reset phone 3 times, but it can't to good for the phone, and way beyond haptic feedback. Any suggestions? Ideas? Also, can't duplicate as yet and not really enthusiastic about tech support or store either.
Thanks

Vibrate on touch/release?

There is a vibrate on touch/release feature in NFSFAN’s ROM’s that is normally turned on by default. The first time I flashed one of these ROM’s this feature really took me by surprise. I seriously through “oh boy, I screwed this up”.
My question is what is this feature for? I turned it off as soon as I figured out how to turn it off. Do people like this feature? Or was I too hasty in turning it off and am I missing out on how it could be useful?
What about battery life? Wouldn’t it drain the battery very quickly? Also, it seems to me that the vibrate feature is the only “moving part” on this phone. Couldn’t using it in this way wear out the bearings and/or motor?
Regards,
The Fish
it is supposed to mimick the haptic feedback found on many touch screen devices. the battery does not drain too fast as to be very noticable.

My first impression was about the same as yours, I also turned if off right away. However after flashing a few more times and getting lazy and not turning it off I've come to like it. Especially when typing, it feels more like typing on a normal cell keyboard. I wish there was an app or a keyboard that did vibrate on touch. As far as battery drain I haven't noticed any issues... prior the most recent NFSFAN ROM my battery life sucked, since v9 it's much better, I actually was able to go 36 hours without charging my phone... before after 12 it would be down to 30 some %. As for wearing it out I don't see that as an issue, I've never taken apart my touch enough to see what makes it vibrate, but common sense would tell me it's a small motor with a counter weight, I'm sure it will last much longer than other parts of the vogue like the screen....
Obviously this is just my opinion of the vibrate feature, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try for a couple of days.
I'd advise trying it out for a few days or so, I find now that without it I miss it. It really does help in replacing the tactile feeling of a physical keyboard and knowing that the key was in fact pressed. You can adjust the feel too, personally I tend to like the 25/15 setting.
i turn off the vibrate on release. to me when you use yiur key board there is no point on having it vibrate twice for every key stroke.. but you do get used to it and its hard to go without it.. SPB keyboard has this option in it and it would cause some longer vibrations..

[Q] Vibration Intensity

Hi, I am really unhappy with the lack of vibration intensity and duration on this phone. I am missing so many notifications when on vibrate because it is so incredibly soft. I finally gave up my EVO 4G for the Epic Touch. My EVO's vibrate was always two sequential bursts and they were strong. I mean someone sitting next to me could hear the vibrations. Now with the Epic Touch the vibration (and I use the term loosely because it’s really more of a mosquito buzz) is just one single burst about one third of a second long, and if it is in my case at the time, I usually can't even feel it. There has got to be a way to increase the intensity somehow. Could it just be that I got a bad phone? Is this a problem for anyone else? Any other EVO users who made the switch noticing the same vast difference?
Thanks

Why would it not be a real post? The vibration is a bit weaker. Not that big of a deal for me but I'm sure it is noticed by some.

Yes it is a real post. I am really wondering if anyone else is noticing this also, and if anyone knows of a way to increase it through something like QPST or something. When I do the *#0*# to get to the test utility, and choose the vibrate. It puts your phone in a state of constent vibrate and if I hold it about waist level, I can't even hear it buzzing, and the feel in my hand is very minimul compared to all of the other phones I have had.
My E4GT vibrates stronger than my Evo did. In fact, at work I keep my phone on my desk in vibrate mode, and sometimes it rattles the whole desk.

Oh good, glad to hear it. At least now I can hope that there is just something wrong with mine, and go take it to a store and have it checked. I really want to feel good about this phone and know I am already fighting a bit of a bias, because I have always had HTC phones and have been very very happy with the way they are manufactured. For me to go to another brand and give up Sense was a huge mental battle. I am still struggling a lot with the lack of the Sense UI and all of it's really sweet widgets, but then to be disenchanted with the hardware too has been causing me to have second thoughts.
Thanks for the post, anyone else want to post their experience in this area?
I don't 100% remember my EVO's vibration, because I moved to the Nexus S before I got the Epic 4G Touch. The Nexus's vibration was pretty weak and I was getting used to that, so the E4GT's vibration actually startled me when I set it on a table and it went off. I can say based on what I can remember, that my E4GT's vibration is equal to if not better than my Evo's.
Are you looking for the phone to simulate an earthquake. The highest setting is pretty darn intense. I keep it at less than half and that is plenty strong for home row and notification IMO.
Perhaps an iphone will vibrate like the spin cycle on your washer, is that why all the housewives use them?

I agree. If your worried about missing txts get handcent sms from the market.. It let's you change the intensity and duration of the vibration. Hope this helps. Cheers mate

That reminds me, have you set your vibration intensity? Menu, Settings, Sound, Vibration intensity. I set mine to maximum, but I think it came set in the middle.
I'm pretty sure that setting is just for the haptic feedback...

LOL, I am just looking for a similar vibration intensity to what I have had on every smart phone (all HTCs) up to this one. Or to determine if mine is just not functioning properly.

You both reference there being a setting for vibration intensity, but that has no effect on notification vibration. It is for feedback vibration, that is why it is under the heading "Feedback". And why it is grayed out if you have haptic feedback unchecked. And why it says "set your touch feedback vibration intensity" in small type.
And yes just out of curiosity I did turn on the haptic feedback option and cranked the vibration intensity all the way up, and it had no impact on the notification vibrations, as would be expected.
Thanks,

[Q] Vibrate is weak?

Hi Guys,
This may be because I'm coming for a Blackberry but my Nexus's vibrate function feels WAY too light. I'll have the phone sitting on a pad of paper on my desk and the only way I know I have a notification is if I happen to glance over at the phone and the LED is blinking.
Has this been anyone else's experience? Is there an app (similar to Volume+) that would help increase the vibrate function's strength?
Thanks!

You, probably, have forgotten to turn on the vibration-notification in sms settings.

I can double confirm this. The vibration is so powerful that it also makes a loud noise at the same time. So this is definitely not a generic phone problem. Maybe your specific model ? Try to get another one.
does an app exist that will boost the vibrate function so that I can give it a try

I didn't think the vibration was weak on the GN until earlier today when I decided to install ICS on my trusty HD2 to see how it handled it. The vibration on my HD2 feels about 3 times more powerful than the GN so some people might see it as weak.
Thank you. I don't think its a phone defect, I'd really like to see some way to increase the intensity.

My Galaxy Nexus's vibrate is INCREDIBLY weak. Barely audible at all when on a desk, and basically impossible to feel vibrate when it's in my pocket. At first I thought it was my silicone case, but even after taking it out of the case it's barely any better.
There are actually people who believe the vibrate is powerful? I wonder if I should get mine checked out.

I have a feeling that they're being hyperbolicly defensive. Quite a few reviews have mentioned this as an issue, along with quiet notification sounds.
If you're in a silent room with your phone on your desk, of course you'll feel that the vibration is strong. But just get out of the house and into a loud place, like a mall. I missed two calls and an SMS the first time I went out with my GN even though vibrate AND sound were on.
Sorry to bump an old-ish thread, but still no one has offered any solutions. Is it possible or not to increase the vibration intensity?
Yeah, I fail to see how anyone can think the vibrate on this phone is strong. I set my D2G next to the phone and it got an email I can hear the vibrate in the other room. Next when the SGN got a vibrate I barely heard it 2 feet away in my chair. Either I have a defective model or this phones vibrate is insanely weak.
Bump for revisiting this...
I'm considering the GNexus, but vibration strength is a big issue for me. I keep my phone on silent with vibration at work and out in general, because I personally consider it more considerate to others.
I'm not concerned with vibration when it's sitting in my desk, but I'm definitely concerned when it's in my pocket. In fact, I returned the RAZR because I literally missed every call and SMS that came in because the vibration was so week.
Can anyone compare this to the SGS2's vibration, which I thought was strong, and I could feel it when in my pocket. Same thing with the iPhone when I had that -- I thought the vibration was very strong.
I know it sounds like a weird deal-breaker, but if I'm missing calls/SMS, it defeats the main purpose of the phone, you know?
I turn off all default and use light flow. The vibrate time can be customized. I hate to 2 little buzz vibrates. I have it set for a continuous time of 3 seconds.

I would consider the vibration strength as low/decent. I came from a Motorola XT720 which had a much stronger vibration.
I've never used a SGS2 or RAZR so I can't really comment. I've used friend's iPhones briefly but would say the iPhone has a stronger vibrate.
For what it's worth I can usually feel the vibration of texts and calls when the phone is in my pocket.
I don't really care, but the vibrate function on my SGN is absolutely anemic. It's the weakest I've ever had in any smartphone, to the point where I just turn it off because it's so unnoticeable.
Hello guys
Is there any method to get GN vibrate when pocket? Obviously it should be in dependence of proximity sensor, but I cannot set it up, as lets say HTC Sensation does.
Thanks and ciao
Majjjjo
I having the same sota problem with my sensation
I just thought of this and I have no idea if it would work but would it be possable to ad a little more unevenness to the pager motor to make it vibrate more, not Evan sure if u can get access to the little buzzer but as I said its just an idea

If you recieved your Oppo Find 7 - share first impressions here

Hi
For the receivers of the very fist batch that should be arriving to your door step please share your first impressions / photos / videos
I pre ordered the second batch, to be dispatched around may 16th.
P
I've got the phone since Friday now (3rd day) and it's a great phone.
+ Recharge, overall quality, screen, feel in the hand, amazing speakers.
- Fast drain on batery, yellow tint on the bottom of the screen (as many others)
pics: click here
Phone quality is great
Speakers are loud and crisp
Fast charge is an added bonus.
Camera shutter is instant.
No yellow tint
Buggy OS:
-Sometimes ColorOS reverts my changed settings.
-Phone mutes all notification sounds after a restart.
Dead pixel on far right, the dead pixel is so darn small it's not even noticeable unless you thoroughly search for a dead pixel.
have you guys tried Beta 2.0 of color OS ?

No i have not. It's not much, but it is there...
I got mine on Friday ( 2nd). So far I really like the phone. Same as others have said....
Pros:
Fast charging times
speakers sound quality are really quite good ( this was a bonus for me)
very responsive
lots of theme options
feels like a large Nexus 5 to me.
Cons:
Color OS takes some getting used to
viewing angles are a little washed out ( not as good as my M8 or note 3)
idle time on battery needs some tweaking
Overall I am glad I purchased the 7a.
The os is pretty much in an early alpha state and requires a few more updates to actually be fully usable.
Some features suck battery like it's cotton candy, but the superb sound and awesome screen make up for it.
If you wish to make it through a day on one charge then turn everything you don't need off and change the lock screen because the normal lock screen is glitched and drains your battery on standby.
Overall it's a great device with a not so great operating system.
But people like entropy are already working on the first custom ROMs so that should be handled soon.

Received mine last Monday, started playing with it Tuesday, got a sim for it Wednesday.
I'll preface this by stating I'm coming from a 3 year old HTC Inspire 4g so if somethings seem "wrong" well it's light years difference between the Inspire and this Oppo Find 7a
My first suggestion would be to put the 2.0 beta on it, been running it since yesterday and so far I think it "feels" more stable than the 1.2.x that comes with the phone. Most importantly I haven't had a single SD issue since updating to 2.0b.
Sound/speakers are amazing. Granted I'm no audiophile but considering my other 2 devices, HTC Inspire 4g and HP Touchpad, this sounds night and day better than both.
Speed is blazing, again though I am coming from a 3 year old phone (single core).
Battery life is great for me even from the start. Even w/o comparing it to the abysmal life of my previous device I'd still consider this good.
No yellow tint for me so can't comment on that
The phone is light as heck and the size is great. I thought I'd have problems since I have such small hands but none to speak of.
Downside is no custom rom yet and as I'm used to CM the features and nomenclature are different and a bit annoying having to think about doing something where as I'm used to being able to just do it.
An annoying thing is the flip case that came with the preorder turns the screen on/off which seems like a great idea, it's just implemented wrong. When I put my phone in the cubby hole in my truck the screen turning on and off is distracting. I've read others are discovering it's turning on and off in their pockets too.
No LTE for me until I "backdoor" it since AT&T doesn't recognize this device. I registered it and got a new sim twice and my account still shows that I'm on my Inspire 4g. Granted I don't use a lot of data so not really a priority, but still would be nice to have it even if I don't use it all that much. Then again with the speed and battery life of this phone that might change.
Got mine Friday. Love the screen size and colours, the overall built quality, the sound of the speakers and the fastcharging.
I am on a rooted ColorOS 2.0 (International) Beta and I must admit I actually like it's clean look and feel. I will probably go for a custom kernel and rom in the long run though.
I do not like the white back, not much grip for me and I really hate the pleather case that came with it.
The batery drain is also a minor problem for me.
Overall it's still the best phone I owned and I recommend it (unless you have really tiny hands)

Screen seems to react a little quicker to touch. 2.0 seems a crisper and smoother rom. I really love the blurr effect. Voice wakeup und Live Weather 2.0 are also pretty nice.

LTE works great if you give them an IMEI from a 4G phone like a Nexus 5. Just call ATT and have them change your IMEI, presto... your LTE will work like a champ!

I had an 4g phone, but not a LTE phone. I gotta borrow a friend's phone one day and do that, eventually.
Solid build but buttons are little bit hard to press IMO.
Great screen. Very bright though. Camera is good.
Color OS features are nice but there is one bug with cellular network battery usage. I think it doesn't go into deep sleep because of it and drains battery on standby mode especially if you have screen off gesture on. If you turn this feature off, it's a lot better. I do not have yellow tint problem.
I wish we can swap back plates like One Plus. I like to use my phone without cover and the back plate is white.
The touch is very responsive. I have to change Touch & hold delay to medium to prevent accidental click while scrolling. Then again, I'm using a screen protector which comes with the phone and it might be the screen protector problem.
The speaker is loud. Really really loud. I am HTC M7 user and I think Find 7 speaker is better than M7.
best phone I ever had.
hardware: Impressive built quality, awsome gorilla glass with almost perfect touch (but I had to remove that **** of screen protector that killed touch sensitive), conversation quality is like havin ur friend talkin beside you and it get signal where other phones die.
software: I m using colorOS 1.2i, it has lacks of some feature, but it sports everything you really need and it does it fast and easy to use. It's like a stock android with kool features. Never had bug like force closing of apps....for me it's much better to use than a touchwiz and I feel like I m using a reactive nexus or a cooked rom.
camera: should I spend words? no...it's the best, there's no competion. it doesnt have any gimmick feature like htc zoe..but it's so easy and fast to find the settings u need, just shoot! and pics are nearly professional.
loudspeaker: it's in gods arena, beside z2 and htc one. if htc m8 is the king in this way, find7a is a prince, and u ll be happy of having.
Battery drain: kernel and governor need to be fixed. I had a good 6% of drain when using it with lte and screen on, but I also had 5.5% in stand by mode. so....here it's how I fixed and now I get 1.5% in standby (tnx to Gsam and Wakelock apps):
-removed stock google news and wheater widget, it doesnt allow sleep mode and it drain 1.5% of battery per hour
-removed yahoo wheater app (removing just widget is unuseful)...saved other 1.5%
-WIFI advanced settings : everythin off but optimization wifi...saved another 1.5%
- I use pattern unlock mode, from ever, someone reported that using stock colorOS mode drains battery
I noticed that when switching off WIFI , 3g/4g connection is already on...never happened with other phones, they all took some seconds for 3g to be working, maybe this means connection drain battery as it never goes really off even when is under wifi? dunno..
something I didnt like , but doesnt matter:
-power button sucks, it s less than half millimeter, so it's very hard to push it. but I dont really care, I use double tap to lock and unlock it!
-back cover. it's good and has grip, nice color and wotever...but it's very very slim and flexible. due it's so slim, antenna works like a blackberry but I m afraid it will destroy itself easily, bcs it's already starting to be flexible at my touch.
-screen: awsome , color are very good, but a more calibrated temperature can improve it. it's not blueish like some reviewr says...but a better temperature could improve its gamma as well, that s very high (I used to calibrate televisions some years ago so I have a special look on screens). at a first look , find7a screen is like an LG g2 screen with a wrong calibration (but more realistic colors ).
-It arrived with a dead pixel , but it s impossible to notice it due it's a full-hd screen, so I really dont give a shot about it.
-yellow screen, there's a yellow ghost at the base of the screen for 2 millimeters...but believe me guyz, I v seen ppl going crazy on forums for this, It's something u can notice only on a completely white screen and if nobody tells u, your not going to see it! but if u love perfection, I can say that it went away after some days of usage...I m sure it's glue and it takes some days of warm screen to be fixed.
-optional case: tnx oppo to send me such a gift in real leather, but I trash it after 1h. software doesnt support this case, having it in my pocket means it opens itself and screen goes on, but when u close it , the screen stays on anyway. I have to open it to pick up a call! wtf! why does it have such a window if I have to open it???
-warranty: oppo policy in europe is to send the phone I dont know where in europe, they will send I dont where in china, someone I dunno will decide if I have to pay to repair the phone. anyway I will pay to ship it. Ok, I accept to save 300€ on s5, m8, z2...and get 1+ if I destroy my find7...
just my opnion, everyone has his needs, wot is good for me can be bad for u...

So what is standby time after your fixes? People complained that the phone drains 50% of battery over night. So if the phone can't keep charge for 2-3 days it is useless for me. I do not use phone lot, so always forget to charge, so I need 2-3 days at least and I am getting 5 days with my current Nexus One.
So apparently 2.0b didn't fix the SD card issue so I'm just going to put in my old 16gb Sandisk that I've been using for a year and half and see what it does. If it works then I'll just assume the card I was sent is faulty/fake. Read speeds are between 20-35 megabytes while copying stuff off of the card onto my hard drive so that seems a bit slowish?

It seems like a lot of people are having problems with the SD cards purchased from Oppo. I wonder if they got a bad batch.

Occasional tick/click sound from haptic feedback

juz got my m8. amazing build quality. amazing interface. I just changed from S4, and I can say the stock keyboard is much better!! S4 would get some lags on LINE app after awhile... but so far my m8 rock seems very good. I will wait a few weeks to see how it goes.
Separately, anyone encountered a very soft "click" / tick sound whenever the vibration haptic feedback? This happens once every so often (say every 10 vibrations will yield one "tick" sound). When i put my ear to the phone, it seems as though the vibrating motor itself is maybe not aligned, so there is slight rattle sound. NOTE: I have already switch off the SOUND click feedback. This is definitely a mechanical tick....super duper soft...
Is this common? Maybe in just ocd...
This phone is so perfect in all other ways...

Yeah I have it too.
Had it on my S4 as well so I don't care.
