I do ponder on whether any of you lovely chaps can help me?
From having a total of three HTC One X's, I do know that the 'feel' of the vibration from phone to phone differs. Some sound/feel rapid and tight while others vibrate a bit more clunky like.
Although OrDroid is perfect for me for the time being the vibration of the buttons and keyboard feel very clunky and somewhat inaccurate to react. I thought my phone's vibrator *ahem* may of degraded over time perhaps but I went over to a AOSP rom last night for a bit of a play and the vibration was perfect.
I realise this is all about preference; plus the fact it's very hard to explain that the vibrations on my phone seem a bit slow and clunky to react to button presses.
Are there any mods, or possible updates planned where we can modify vibrate intensity/timing etc?
Cheers!
From my own experience I can say that HTC changed the way it vibrates in the JB update
For me it felt more "premium" with ICS
Maybe these changes weren't applied to the AOSP ROM you're using now
But I'd say as long as it vibrates fine everything is fine

Like I mentioned I have had the privilege of owning a few One X's and they all vibrate a little different.
Be nice to have the option to change it like they incorporate into 3rd party keyboards!

I've also found that after the Jelly Bean update it vibrates differently.
I don't know how to change it, though.

Hi
Has anyone noticed a problem with their Desire where their phone makes a weird/strange noise, like something is loose in the phone, when it vibrates a bit, e.g. when pressing keys on the keyboard? It started a bit on my Desire and it's slowly gotten worse so the point where people can notice it when I'm using the keyboard (and it really p***es me off!)
So I ordered a Desire HD and within a week I've noticed it doing the same although more quietly, but I'm worried it will start really loud again!
Cheers,
Scott
Its just the vibrating mechanism also the auto focus will vibrate as well so that also makes a noise.

I understand that but the Desire is really, really loud - definitely something else vibrating in there now, not just the auto focus!
What's worrying is my Desire HD didn't do it to start with, and now it is, albeit not as loud as the Desire, but still worrying because I don't want it to happen again (one of the reasons I got rid of the Desire early)
I also have a 2nd Desire HD here and it wasn't doing it a min ago, I held on vibrate (held volume down) for 30 secs or so and now it's doing it same as the other Desire HD - so they don't do it to start with!
Cheers

Its perfectly normal I'd your that bothered turn haptic feedback off.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
From what I've found out its the speaker that rattles when typing. Are you on a custom Rom? Maybe try turning down the haptic feedback, mine isn't half as bad since I did that.

Oh yea the speaker does that too.

You probably have a defect vibrator! I had the same problem and took it to service where they changed the vibrator - now everything is fine again. ;-)
Couple of things i've noticed....
First, does the notification LED have a mind completely of its own?? I get a voicemail...and the light flashes...then 2 minutes later get another voicemail and nothing.
Got an SMS, nothing showed...got another, nothing showed, just got one now and it starts flashing at me.
Secondly, when i've received an SMS, i've gone into messaging app...and the screen dimmed and came back again quickly, so i clicked on settings and it dimmed completely like an LCD with no backlight, exit settings and it comes back again, go back into settings and it goes etc etc. Lock screen, unlock and it works fine...bit weird.
The most annoying one is definitely the useless notication LED because...if i'm sat at my desk listening to music rather loud and i cant hear a notification because of the quiet speaker, or i'm away when a message arrives...i don't know i've got it because it isn't flashing.
Y U not use the search engine?
There are multiple threads about this 'problem' and the only useful advise is always: https://market.android.com/details?...29uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0Zmxvd2xpdGUiXQ..
Y U not read?
I'm not bothered about colours or customising the LED, i'm quite happy with the white flash, i'm also well aware of lightflow and there's reasons why i wont use it.
the problem is the sheer randomness of the standard notification LED randomly deciding to flash or not flash based on...absolutely nothing

I have had several phones with notification LED and this one is the only one that doesn't work correctly. Hopefullly the boneheads in the LED department over at Google can fix this. By the time they do, we will probably be able to choose from several ICS phones.
On a $700 phone, why do you need to download a 3rd party app to make one of the phones features work ?

This $700 phone has more problems than the $500 Galaxy S2 it seems. ICS is good, but hardware problems are starting to outweigh the benefits in my opinion. We need to keep downloading apps to manage these little things like the notification light, battery usage, volume problems (which the apps around still cause friction with ICS) etc.
This is my first Nexus and when I went into Vodaphone the other day the man at the store admired my phone. Then proceeded to tell me Nexus have always had little problems surrounding the hardware and software of the phones, the quality control isn't as good as the Galaxy S range. I'm starting to get that feeling too.
Well considering the galaxy s and s2 had their share of problems and the last two nexus are Samsung phones I find that trivial. I'm not having a lot of the problems people are having and my battery life is great, especially considering 4.65" amoled screen. Maybe apples don't fall far from the tree.

so has nobody at all had the weird dimming screen thing?
I love this phone...but for my purposes, having it on vibrate = having it on silent. I missed TWO job interview calls having my phone on vibrate in my pants! I barely had time to call 'em back today to set up an in-person!!!!
I found a program a few weeks ago to handle my volume problems....is there a program that handles the vibration problems??? I guess I'm one step away from changing the vibration to just one long vibrate for texts and calls....but this soft motor probably still won't help it out!
Anything? Or am I doomed to putting this on craigslist and waiting for the next big phone???
Samsung has the worst agitator.

I think it agitates everyone pretty well actually.
To be on topic, though, I don't know of any apps, or software mods at all really, that will increase the power on the vibration. That's a hardware thing.

Really? Seems great to me. Way better than my previous HTC phones.
Apparently Light Flow has settings where you can set particular vibrations for particular notifications (i.e. how long & how frequent you want them). Haven't tested it myself, but I've read about it. Link. Perhaps if Light Flow doesn't work, try Sound Manager V2?

I tried light flow but I could never seem to get it to play nice w/Handcent.. It'd always stutter my ringtone. Even when I turned notifying for Handcent off...
On a table, it works fine. On a bed or couch or pocket...it's garbage. And I really didn't notice it until last week when I needed it on vibrate. Now, I wish I'd noticed it during the 30 day period of returning the phone....
Shoot!
Anyone noticed the random vibrations that happen when using the touchscreen(rarely) and keyboard(more often), its not very annoying but i would like to know whether this problem is a hardware or firmware/kernel issue.
Using ARHD 9.4.0 with stock kernel, but i noticed it also when i first bought the phone stock.
What kind of vibration you referring to? Haptic feedback?
I also have random vibrations, but it just started when I flashed tbaldens cm10 Rom... Think it's just a bug in my case

I have random vibrations on my stock Sense. I do not know why, but when I press Volume Up + Volume Down phone vibrates shortly, then after about 20 seconds vibrates fast 3 times. That vibrations means that is created bug report, and they are saved in folder sdcard/bugreports. You should delete folder occasionaly, because it gets bigger and bigger.
Why bugreports are created? I dont know.
I'm referring to the vibration from the keyboard buttons, the majority of the clicks produce the intended 10ms vibration, and then a wild 200-400 ms vibration happens every now and then for no reason.
I don't get a lot of long vibrations unless the haptic feedback is triggered, that's why I'm concerned it could be a hardware issue or drivers/kernel issue that can be fixed.

Hey everyone!
I am a new owner of the Z5P and I am loving it. Best decision I ever made!
One problem. Ever since I got the phone, I have had a problem with typing. As someone who types faster than the average user, I find that the sound "click" and the heptic feedback from the keyboard don't match. It's almost like the sound will cut out if I type to fast and some sounds get skipped.
I have tried different keyboards, switched different apps, and even upgraded to Marshmallow, and I couldn't find the cause of the problem.
Sometimes, on a rare occasions, the keyboard will kick into gear, and preform like it should! But then it acts up again when I go and do something.
I often turn my phone off and on during work (I work in a contact centre and I keep my phone off for security reasons).
So I reach out to you. I am seeing if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it.

Nope don't have that problem. I'm guessing you're not sight impaired and can see what you type. If this is true, turn it off. It's noisy and irritating
