Hello i just bought the phone and i noticed the following when i tap the device even if the phone is off i can feel the vibrating device spinning.
Is this common for all devices or is there a problem with mine?

Well, no, it's not normal!
Can you explain in more details?
Yes, when i tap the phone or i shake it, it's like the phone vibrates. I mean it's like forcing the vibrator to spin...

As a friend said, it's like there is a spring moving inside the device...
Change the "vibration intensity" setting and see if that helps at all...
Settings->sound->vibration intensity (bottom choice)

It's not about the vibration settings. It happens even if the phone is switched off
If I tap my device, I can hear a very, very small noise--something a bit more than the noise it would make from just the tap itself. This, I presume, would be the reverberation from my tap, caused by the vibration mechanism.
If you tap your device and can then feel your device vibrating, I would suggest taking it back. If it's enough to notice, it's probably not right. Although common sense should work wonders for diagnosing this problem (or lack thereof).
I also presume that it's a reverbation from the vibration mechanism. But I it's enough to notice. It's a bit less noticable than the real vibration...
Your phone is defective get it changed from samsung!

Their is a little bit of a vobration in every sgs when you tap it but you are saying that phone actually feels like its vibrating then its weird!

It was like that on mine too, but after a few weeks of usage, such vibrations disappeared.
I sent the phone back. I could feel the vibration with the phone inside the box and wrapped...
I can feel mine too. It's not as strong as a real vibration but oticeable, like a feedback.
Does your vibration work?
I think too that it is normal. When bored, I keep taping on my sgs just to feel this small vibration and although I keep doing it perhaps too often, vibration still works ok.

totally normal, it vibrates a sec when you turn it off

I thought the screen shuts off when you're in the middle of a call (proximity sensor?). On the iPhone, when you're in the middle of the call, it shuts the screen off when its by your face just so you don't hit anything like mute, etc...
Any way to get around this? Thanks

Mine shuts off the screen when your face is close to it.
Settings -> Call Settings, do you have Keep screen awake checked?
I don't see that option. Settings, then call settings... I see voicemail, call forwarding... That's pretty much it. Running Stock 2.1
Mine has done this a couple times now,i'll be talking to someone and all of a sudden start hearing beeps as if hitting the numbers on the keypad. First time it happened I thought it was the person on the other end but it happened again last night and I looked at the phone after I got off the call and it had #2* or something like that in the dialer so something is definitely weird here.

are you using a screen protector/skin/case ... anything?
mine has never given a problem.
so far.
Maybe you have a really skinny head that's not passing the sensor?

Nope, I imagine this will happen to everyone at some point though. It doesn't happen very often, it just out of the blue will happen one day. I guess the more you talk on the phone the more likely you will be to eventually experience it Maybe it has something to do with enabling the keypad? As that is what I did last night to punch in an extension.
This problem happened with my gf, when she had a droid. For some reason while she was talking on the phone the screen wouldn't always stay off and she would bump the on screen buttons with her cheek and end up usually trying to add a new caller to the call, thus muting whom she was talking to. She also had a lot of problems with the Capacitive touch screens, it wouldn't register half the time where she touched.
I've never had this happen to me, I doubt it actually will. It must be something related to how we hold our phones, and where it lines up to peoples differently shaped heads.

Never happened to me in 2-3 years with the Iphone. To act like it is happening because we are holding the phone wrong is a bit absurd, I mean it's not exactly a complicated process I will try and figure out what's happening, haven't paid much attention to it yet because I figured it was a fluke but it happened twice now and is happening to other people.
One thing I noticed last night was the phone screen was still blacked out while the beeps happened so it's not a sensor thing the screen is actually blacking out it's just being activated again by something that happens after it's off I assume.
I'm not using a case or anything. It NEVER happened to me with the iPhone, but it happens quite often with the Nexus One. VERY annoying... It should be like the iPhone, where when its by your face, it shuts off the screen AND disable the touch buttons below the screen.
I think its the touch buttons causing the problem... Because my screen does turn off when its by my face.

This is the behavior I experience with my nexus one (stock and custom roms). As soon as I place it near my face the proximity sensor turns off the screen.
The capacitive buttons below the screen are disabled when the screen turns off for me as well. I just called in to voice mail and hit every one while the screen was off due to the proximity sensor, not a single response from any button or the screen and no change in call status when I moved the phone away and the screen came back on.

Yea it's some kind of fluke, It happens so randomly I am thinking it might be something to do with the internet connection like checking mail or maybe the GPS doing something that wakes up the buttons while the proximity sensor keeps the screen off because everything will be fine then all of a sudden it happens while the screen is still blacked out.
Sounds like a factory reset might fix this issue... definitely not normal behavior.
I think this is happening to a bunch of people. I don't think a factory reset would help. I think its a bug...

No it's not a normal behaviour you are correct however it's not anything a factory reset is going to fix either. It's some kind of software bug that once enough people experience it will get sorted, just a matter of time before enough people start complaining to bring it to attention of Google or HTC.

Are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons on the side of the phone? It sounds like you might be turning the in call volume down, thus leading to it being muted.
^^ No... My face actually hits the mute button. I then have to click the mute button with my finger once i realize the person can't hear me and then they start hearing me again after I click it.
It happens with other buttons on the screen too.

Figured I would ask... I sell cell phones, and I get about 1 person a day in that has muted their in call volum by accidently hitting the volume toggle button without knowing it... all different phones (BB's are the worst!).
Anyways, my proxy sensor works perfect! I even just tested it a bit, and it senses a single finger tip starting about 1" away from the screen anywhere along the top of the screen... worked on both the left and right side and everywhere in between just fine.
I use my phone a lot at work in call (calling in to CS, calling the manager, etc) and have not had a single proxy sensor issue in the week I have had my phone.

May not be normal, but its not a bug that seems to be effecting all phones. Same thing that not everyone is experiencing random touch events, 2g/3g toggling, or dust/dogfooding. To say every phone has this problem because you do is simply short sighted.

Seem to be having real issues at the moment with a lack of response from these buttons. Don't remember the phone being like it when I first got it in fact it seemed very responsive. I find now I am having to press the back button several times or even kind of having to slide my finger over the button to get it to resister. I can recall a previous phone of mine having a very similar issue, think it was the Sony erricson satio but really did spoil the operation of the phone.
Anyone else experience this?

Operation of the dock shortcuts is fine as is the sensitivity of the home screen, even with the screen protector on, it's just the back and home button.

There has been a few threads on this, seems like a common issue. However theyre apparently looking at a software update to improve sensitivity- https://twitter.com/htc_uk/status/319748247075819520
I can confirm it... Is that a software problem?

I'm having the same issue, which is starting to annoy me. Not sure whether these things get worse or not, but as my wife's hasn't got the same issue, I'm not sure it's software??!! Should we be asking for the phone to be changed???
Is there supposed to be vibration when pressing the soft keys? I'm not getting any vibration and it would go some way towards helping me with the responsiveness of the buttons.

Agreed. It's more the lack of feedback that makes them difficult to use. I have the feeling that they are sensitive enough. The problem is that there is no feedback. You just don't know where the tap is registered.

Vibrations can be enabled through settings.
I have to use my thumb to use them, they don't register my finger at all, just so annoying, I would rather a home button like the GS2.

I have it set in "Settings" -> "Sound" -> "Vibrate on touch" but I still dont get any vibrate on soft key press.
Vibrations for the capacitive buttons are turned off if you have the power saver on, regardless if you've turned vibrations on via settings.
For some reason I'm getting a much better response from the Back and Home keys when I use nova launcher as opposed to the stock sense launcher.

Ah thank you, it's working for me now.
One of my only complaints about this phone is that the hardware back and home buttons are a bit small. If their tap targets extended to the screen edges from the HTC logo, all would be well.
Alas, that's not the case. So, to make up for this, I was curious if there was a way to make the phone vibrate when I tap these buttons. I seem to miss these, and tap twice or more, and sometimes, I'm just being impatient, but I don't know until it's too late, since the response isn't always immediate.
They seem to vibrate for me. I'm on viper Rom but pretty sure it did it before too. It is a rather faint vibrate but it's there.

Well, maybe my phone's just being dumb, but there is definitely no vibration here. It does vibrate on other functions, though.

Ah. That was it. Thanks!
I just upgraded to an HTC One, but am having issues with this one and may need to exchange it. Before I do I wanted to see if the issues were at all common or if there is a fix for any of them.
Issues:
1. The power button is sunk in a bit. Not flush, but below the hole. It is very difficult to push and has been driving me nuts.
2. The front buttons do not light up. I saw them light up once, but most of the time I have to guess where the buttons are. Also very annoying as back, home, and power are used frequently.
3. Over half of my text messages need to be resent multiple times. This did not happen with my previous phone.
4. Smaller issue but the volume rocker is difficult to press. Big difference from the HTC EVO 4G LTE
5. Do I have to force close the power app everytime I restart the phone?
6. How do I recent apps? Holding down home goes to Google Now.
Thank you for any help.

Me too. I am gonna RMA it, this is a QC issue. Two of my other ones are fine, this one is bad.
2. The front buttons do not light up. I saw them light up once, but most of the time I have to guess where the buttons are. Also very annoying as back, home, and power are used frequently.
Does your auto brightness work properly? Many people were reporting problems with the ambient light sensor.
3. Over half of my text messages need to be resent multiple times. This did not happen with my previous phone.
I have no idea what this is. Google voice probs?
4. Smaller issue but the volume rocker is difficult to press. Big difference from the HTC EVO 4G LTE
HTC has sacrificed functionality for aesthetics. You'll get used to it, though.
5. Do I have to force close the power app everytime I restart the phone?
Why would you do this? Does the power saver notification bother you so much?
6. How do I recent apps? Holding down home goes to Google Now.
Double tap home.

Yes, a case makes it much easier because then there is nothing to stop your fingers from pressing the volume buttons. The bezel is the culprit here.

1: How flush is it? Mine is flush but I can still press it easily without a case on. With a case on, I have to place my finger a certain way.
2: The buttons are light sensitive. So if you're in the dark, they will light up. If you're out in the sun or in a room with the light on, they won't light up. That's one thing I love about HTC.
3: Umm maybe spotty coverage? Or it could be a defect. Not sure about that one.
4: Volume rocker is fine if you don't have a case on. Just try hitting it near the very top or bottom to make it easier.
5: Are you asking about the power saver notification? If yes then yeah, every time you reboot. Or you can just leave it there. I don't mind it as I am switching the power saver on and off quite often.
6: You double tap the home button.
Hope this helps!

OP, if it is hard at all to press the power button, return it or exchange it. My other Ones are SUPER easy to press. I have to get around to mailing this one in, but I'm not sure if I should because everything else about this phone is pretty much perfect.
And to see if your button lights are working, just cover the ambient light sensor with your finger. The one at the top left. Hold it for about 3 seconds. The lights should turn on. It think it's very smart that they only turn in when there is very little light.
I would have like a nav bar better though.
Okay so I'm exchanging the phone for the power button issue. Sad that the volume rocker issue will continue, but I can handle that one. The power button on mine is an absolute nightmare. I have to jam a fingernail in there to turn it on and half the time it doesn't work. Have to hit it just right.
The capacitive buttons do not light up in the light, dark, whenever. I cannot see the buttons and have to guess. Believe me, no one would love this feature. On my HTC EVO 4G LTE the lights came on. It gets annoying having to guess every time. I want the lights to come on.
My other big problem has nothing to do with google voice. I'll have full reception and not be able to make calls and text messages have to be resent. Seems like the phone is not working with the network correctly.
Yes the power saver notification is unacceptable. It is annoying to have a useless notification in the status bar. I'm not the only one it bothers and it needs to be removed permanently. Also I need Sprint ID to stop changing my custom screens. I would like my phone to work the way I want it to. I wanted an upgrade not a downgrade. When I get one with a working power button rooting should solve this, but if that wasn't an option I'd be shopping for another phone.
Figured out the double tap on home shortly after, but thanks. I still need to figure out how to stop Sprint ID from messing up my home screens. I tried disabling the icon pack for now.

Gone in 4.2, I believe. In the meantime though, you can long-press on the notification, head over to App info, and force stop the relevant app. Kills the thing quite nicely.

Can't really help you here. First thing I did when I got the phone was disable all of the bloatware (built-in Android disable function), although I later killed it off with Titanium Backup. Never had much an issue there though. Tried another launcher, maybe?

First a double negative is the only way this phrase works. Otherwise it's "I imagine having a case." which does not convey the point. Sure could go with "can't imagine leaving the phone unprotected" which is still a double negative without another "not" but that just seems nit-picky.
Also the first thing I do with phones when I get them is put a case on them. After many beautiful phones becoming banged up, scratched, ugly phones you learn that a case keeps them beautiful. The aluminum will scratch easily so putting a case on it is a good idea. There are clear cases so you can still see through. You could just be really careful and paranoid with it though it will probably get scratched anyway. It's up to you, but in no way is it odd or a contradiction to protect the appearance of a beautiful phone with a case.

Anyway, OP, I hope you can resolve these issues. The bloatware can easily be removed via root. The Power saver notification is gone in the 4.2 update. (We'll get that soon, hopefully)
The texting thing is bizzare. I really don't know what that was.
I just updated my LG G4 h811 to the newest build for lineage OS 10 / 24 and tap to wake is no longer working the way it's supposed to only one in about every 20 attempts it will turn on is there any way to fix this or do I have to wait for a new update?

I've been looking everywhere and can't find anything to solve it I've even changed to a different ROM CR Droid so I'm not sure what's causing it it may possibly be Hardware but I really doubt it since it was only after an update
i have it to. try KDZ if its same then its a hardware problem. like mine i tried and same for all roms sometimes it turns on inside pocket. very sensitive . sometimes just place my palm in screen and turns on. now it doesnt turn on lol not even tapping 1000 times.
if you have warranty send it to repair. if that is important get another screen.

I remember having this problem on my LG G3 and thinking that a new screen would solve it it turned out to be the processor... Hopefully that's not the case here but sometimes when I use the button to turn on the screen it comes on but extremely dim I have to turn it off and turn it back on again so I'm thinking maybe it is a processor on the G4 as well

Yes same with mine I can tap to sleep and it works every single time no problems but tap to wake does not work very often sometimes it takes up to 20 tries to get it to work

am afraid its hardware related not software.. i already searched alot and found nothing.
Yeah, I luckily have the insurance, but last time my brother sent his they sent him back a G4 with boot loop issue lmao. So, for right now, I've just been using the power button. As for me, knock to wake, knock code, pull down status bar all doesn't work. Sometimes it will randomly work but tap to sleep works fine.

An app i have been using called KinScreen.
It works by waving your hand over the proximity sensor to turn the screen on. I have been using it a week or so and it doesn't seem to use a lot of battery power. I am using it on LineageOS.

I tried that one also but it wakes up when you put it in your pocket and sometimes you end up pocket dialing people
