Mine came in today from Newegg. It's bootloader unlockable as well.
I love it.
The only minor inconvenience is that it vibrates at a high pitch.
It's definitely noticeable.
Also is there a way to tune the vibration? I already tried the keyboard settings but they don't help the sound.

ahh ok, hopefully there will be a way to mitigate this.
maybe a kernel that can control the vibration intensity.
Mine from Newegg also vibrates the same. I just disable it unless it's for calls or something.

My C6503 vibrates real loudly too! I found it weird at first but eventually got used to it. I hope there's a fix/mod to lower it's vibration strength in the future.
me too...it's normal
Don't think thete will be a fix. Even with vibration set to very low it's still very loud. I think it's a hardware issue.

Yeah, same here on my ZL (C6502). It is a minor niggle, however, when typing in a very quiet room (or library) I can clearly hear the bee like buzzing of vibrator motor (no matter how low the intensity is set at). But strangely it is not so when phone vibrates during an incoming call. So, I keep the vibration feedback off most times. Maybe some dev can come up with a mod to actually lower/tune the intensity or we might get used to it after a while.
P.S: Anyhow, I don't think its a flaw or hardware fault. Looks like sony wanted it to be so :silly:!
I just got my ZL today and mine also buzzes like a bee!
I highly doubt Sony wanted it this way, I think it was overlooked.....
It's really buggin' me though, I can't stand it!
Damn you Sony, I love the device but hate the buzzing.. Shame 'cause I usually use haptic feedback on my devices. lol
Yup it's a known "issue"
Il try to see if i can fix it... if i do il post the video and how did i fix that but later
Buzzinf]g like a bee
Mine too...brazilian version of ZL. Called ZQ (C6503). Very noise!

I just got two:
Samsung Galaxy S II - Titanium from T-mobile (SGH-T989)
Not rooted, etc...But stock, as they come from t-mobile.
Voice quality is pretty bad on those two units. I can hear the other party muffed. I thought they are on speakerphone or talking thru a headset. Then the person with the other S G II noticed the same issue. I am having hard time understanding the other party in every call. I really got to focus on the conversation
Low voice volume when rocker is on max. It is hard to hear people in street noisy environment.
I talked to T-mo rep and they said that probably the phone is like this, and suggested to go to t-mo store and try one of their units. I wonder if it's the entire batch or the phones are like this.
I am coming from Google Nexus One. I wonder if Ice Cream will solve this issue or cyanogen mod 9. Is it hardware or software issue? Anyone else with similar thoughts?
Honestly, coming from a Sensation, this phone has incredible sound quality and speaker volume.
I think you should warranty both handsets.
I came from the MyTouch 4G... And the SGS2 has such better sound quality than I had with my MyTouch, and I liked the MyTouch... I think you got a bad phone... Two bad phones, if that's possible... Haha
I have the same problem. Sounds like crap. I returned my first one after about 2 days. Got another one and it worked fine for a month or so, yhen the same thing happened. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do now. I can't Stand it.

Yeah i have notice as well
i've been using it for 2+ month now, it's loud and clear
you guys must have got some duds
the other day another user asked me about the Mic, and after using compressed air to clear it out, is fine now
if you put the phone in your pants or jacket pockets often it might be stuffed

Thank you for your input.
I have no problem with my mic. The other party has no problem either, since I talk to different people, and I still have the same result. I have problem with the speaker, or the sound chip. The phones are brand new so no lint/dust in the speaker, or the mic.
I think Samsung does some changes with every different batch. This one is probably just like this. Nothing can be done. The series I am talking is: Samsung Galaxy S II – Titanium for T-Mobile, manufactured in December 2011 (no headphones in the box).
I am sure a lot of other SG2 s are fine.
The volume is on max, when I call someone (before the other party answers) ringing in the speaker is not clear or crisp, since the volume is on max.
I talked to Samsung today 12/21 and they have not hear of the issue. I talked to t-mobile on 12/20 and they have no solution either.
I guess it’s going on craigslist. Probably this will be normal voice quality for other users, and I will downgrade to Nexus S (hardware wise) until some other nexus appears at the end of the next year.

That's what it is. Talk on my phone you'll clearly see the difference. My old Sensation had horrible call quality until I ran the volume + app but then my battery started dying quickly
So I got rid of it & haven't looked back since.
This is someone coming from an unlocked iphone 4 in white (best call quality besides the Galaxy S2)
My GS2 is so clear and loud I never have to worry about hearing other callers no matter where I am. Take both phones back and have the reps at the store exchange them for you.
If they give you grief, have them make calls from your 2 handsets. Make sure they grab a demo phone to compare yours to
same
I have the same exact issue. Just got my phone a few days ago, enjoying Pandora in the car with the AUX input jack...
A call comes in, I answer, and I can't heard a damn thing! I make sure the In Call volume is set to max, still can barely hear the caller. I turn up my stereo...finish the call...then BAM! Pandora is blasting my ears off!
Incredibly frustrating!
sharko, wondering if you were able to get this resolved via exchange...?

I'm not sure if this is just a Sprint Galaxy Nexus bug, but I'm curious to see if its a universal Galaxy nexus bug... Let me know your results!
I explain the bug here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfeyLN7pWRA&list=PLB9F7946C16BE343B&index=19&feature=plpp_video
Happens on my i9250 model. Can only hear it if I literally press the phone speaker to my ear.
Never use touch sounds though.
Is there a bug report in that we can star?
I swear you guys will whine about anything...is it really that serious?

Wait, you're saying that the device should not activate the speaker when a command is initiated which involves a sound output???
I can agree that it should turn the speaker off quicker, after the sound is played...Or the sound file which involves the "click" hasn't been trimmed down properly.Sounds like there's always about a second or 2 leeway before the speaker is turned off, this goes for every sound...
I would assume this is normal
Just tried this on IMM76K on a Verizon GNexus and didn't hear a thing.
GSM from Play Store
I have this issue and im using the AOKP M5 ROM with their stock Kernel
This is not a big deal.
BUT I am on AOKP and there is no touch sounds at all even with all volumes on.
That's ridiculous, even more so you have a video for it. Wow.
They all do this. There are many threads on this. Just search them.
I actually like this little audio feedback. You can only hear it in very quiet surroundings and since it has a menu setting ("touch sounds"): it's not a bug, it's a feature.
Ok, now you're just nitpicking.
Annoying.

It's there so that if you are doing something else on the phone like checking e-mail or browsing you'll know you're still on a call. When you swipe down there's also quick controls that allow you to manage the call without opening the dialer. Personally, I think it's pretty slick and makes it easy to do other things while you're in-call.

Yes, I have this 'problem'. If HTC ever 'fix' it I'll be quite annoyed because it's very useful.
This is also a feature in my Motorola Atrix 2....which I plan on upgrading in July to the HOX...if I can wait that long
It's just a visual reminder that you're on a call.....let me give you a hypothetical
What if you're on hold and there's no hold music and you decide to kill time by getting on the net or whatever else you want to do on your phone...kind of easy to forget you're holding on the line right? But if you don't like it, no worries, but it's not a defect or malfunction is all i'm saying.
OMG! I found another problem! If flashes red when a call's on hold. That's it, this is the last HTC phone I'm every buying.

Here is the solution to your green bar flashing "problem". It will also work for the red bar on hold 'problem' too.
Either, take the SIM card out and use it like that (and then maybe you can say your phone is SIM Free now) or put the phone into Airplane mode. Problem solved.

It's quicker (which is perhaps why you think it's weaker), but it's actually more intense and feels way better than my M8 does. I still have both phones and the M9 is better in my particular case.
Vibration
I feel the same way too, Vibration is very weak compared to the other phones I have had in the past
The vibration is getting weaker and weaker. I am going to verizon to switch it out. It I can barely feel it. It sounds like it is trying so hard to vibrate.
HTC said it was a known issue in some devices and I convinced verizon in store to replace it with a brand new one since it has only been a month. The new ones vibration was soooo much better.

My vibrate stopped working all together! I called HTC and they replaced it for free, didn't have to use Uh Oh protection. New one works as its suppose to. If your vibration is weak, try the diagnostic test on your phone and tap the back right side of the device while running that test, like physically hit it. It made it work on the one I returned for a little while, but then it stopped working again. You may need to exchange it, but that might fix it.
I was viewing the download page on the Lineage site and noticed several references to "android_device_motorola_nash" in the changelog. Does this mean Nash in the works? I could not find Z2 force in the list of devices, but why else would the changelog reference Nash?
I sure hope it happens. If Lineage rolls out, others may soon follow.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might head to TMO asap. The battery mods and gamepad intrigue me. I may stick with Moto for a long time if the mods work out.
Can you (or anyone) answer these questions?
How does the speaker sound? Is it good at high volumes?
Do the Mods stay on good and tight? Do they ever fall off.....perhaps if phone dropped?

For the record, the speaker sounds like crap esp at high volumes.....crackles a bit.

If Moto is anything like HTC, a hardware defect wouldn't matter with a software unlock. I haven't personally tried but most companies who openly unlock their phones can make a good judgement if locked phones have same issue. Like the purple camera incident on the M7, HTC didn't care about lock status since it was a known defect.
