Xperia T vibrator noise - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Think my Xperia T is having a little problem with the vibrator.
If i'm holding the device head up the vibrator makes a strange noise. Sounds like scratching.
If i'm holding it upside down the noise is gone and everything is fine.
Does someone experience the same problem?
Or someone who's not experiencing it?

Yes, the vibrator is really making some scratchy noise, no matter how I hold the device. Not a big deal, but it's not very nice.

Yup same here but I have to put the phone next to my ear to hear it or it must be veryyyy quiet

Hmm, mine doesn't make any noise at all. Sorry to hear you've got noise that's unexpected. You can probably still exchange it at this point no?

Mine vibrates fine but with less intensity compared to my Skate.

Since it's a hardware defect it should be no problem to get it replaced.

My T has louder vibrating than my Samsung's but its quieter than an Arc I have here.

ahh thats why sony releases devices late to fix all of their problems with a device !! i hope when v comes out , no issues p

That's odd. Mine works fine.

Have it too but very subtle. Not a big enough issue for me to bother much though, since I only need it to FEEL the vibration, not hear it

[Q] Z1 C6903 Speaker problem

Just got our Z1 just last night. Humbly asking other Z1 C6903 owners if they have the same problem where the speaker really under-performs (sound quality is really really bad), for me at least comparing it to the iPhone 5, LG G2, and the S4 personally. The speaker is like from a low-end phone - makes the songs, etc. sound really really bad!
If there's a fix for this, please let me know.. Thanks!

How about when in full volume, doesn't it sound bad?
The only thing I complain is that when answering phone calls, the sound isn't going straight into my ear, it seems that the sound comes out from the back of the phone....

the earpiece is where the LED light is, at the very upper edge of the phone. You need to put the phone slightly below your ears to have very good sound (not below your whole ear, make the edge of the phone to the middle of your ear, easier to move it down while the other side talking until you get the best sound). I remember it took me a while to figure it out the first day I got the phone.

there are couple of settings you could play with to improve the sound quality. The water-resistance of this phone reduced the loudness of the speaker, but you could try un-checking the Clearaudio+>go to sound enhancements>settings>check xLoud and try with and without Clear phase. Also try to modify the equalizer to your taste. When I compared my Z1 with my wife's SGS4, I can't see much differences, the SGS4 is a bit louder but that doesn't make the sound of the Z1 very very bad unless you have a defective unit.

xperia z1 speaker issue

It not have 2 speakers.
Speaker Issue
The Z1 has two halves for the bottom speaker though covered by the mesh you wouldn't be able to differentiate. However only one half is the speaker. The other half is the microphone I am guessing. (Correct me if I'm wrong about this) How I figured this out is when I covered both halves individually while playing music. After the KitKat update my major issue has been the ringtones and notifications playing thru the earpiece rather than the speaker which makes it practically impossible to notice the phone is ringing. Anyone experiencing this?
a friend of mine has this problem after 4.4 ftf flash, if i reboot the phone everything is ok , sound plays corectly, but after a few calls and notifications, everything plays on earpiece

Biggest Disappointment? Speaker.

I've been really satisfied with the overall performance and feel of the Nexus 5. The only problem I have with the device is the anemic speaker quality. I feel like I get more vibration from the phone than I actually get sound out of the device.
Its not a deal breaker for me (I'd rather have a reference device than speakers on the front that sound good like the HTC One) but it is a concern. Not sure if I'll be able to even hear it ring in louder environments.
I think the speaker is like 1000x better than the Nexus 4 speaker.
I don't like the placement of the speaker. I keep putting my thumb over it cause of the way I hold my phone.

I agree. Speakers suck in this phone. However that is only if you turn the volume all the way up. If you leave it at 80% sound is clear. Not too loud though....

Its reasons like this that almost anything you read has to be taken with a grain of salt, some say the speaker is loud, others say its barely audible. I mean come on, how can anyone make an informed decision when every detail of the phone gets praises and boos at the same time.

Just to Clarify about Vibration Motor defect in Nexus 5

I read lot of posts where people is asking himself if the nexus 5 vibration is normal or not (seems like a truck). I'm here to CLARIFY the question. I can do this because fortunately i bought 2 phones (1 for me and 1 for my girlfriend) and i have 1 faulty and 1 not.
To explain better i can 100% says that the sounds i listened into the defect thread is exactly like my phone (the faulty one - 32gb white) and the other one (32 gb - black) is totally DIFFERENT AND NORMAL, so guys i know lot of you are happy to have a vibrator in their hands but trust me and check with someone else you meet : is FAULTY ,the right one is normal, like any other phone (to be honest isn't a good quality vibration like my htc one for example, but it doesn't sound loud as the faulty).
and few words about this:
I know guys that everyone here loves google, me too, but i'm objective. If you sell a phone and for example os is not 100% stable, i can understand, i wait updates and it's ok; if you don't put a 2$ earphones inside, i can accept, but if you sell phones with dead pixels, dust under screen, faulty and crappy vibrator motors, faulty screens, faulty buttons with rattle, here is a question of QUALITY and PLEASE don't say me that the phone is low cost. I PAID 410 EUROS, not 100 and if go to a market and i buy a cheap phone (100euro) i don't have rattle or something like this. We can say that they don't do quality control process properly and that a BIG company like google MUST check this and the data that confirm my ideas is the form that users here have compiled: only 38% of phones are resulted with NO DEFECTS, all others with SAME PROBLEMS, so it's not just a feeling. It's a Real problem...
my suggestion is : DO RMA until it's possible, my MONEY wasn't with dust, or it wasn't rattling...
hope to have done a useful thing

it's okay, he's European.
I paused every single time i saw those "...". Damn it lol
Lol...I´d suggest waiting for the 2nd or 3rd charge or just replace the motor yourself (it is glued to the BACKPLATE, so it´s VERY easy ) - at the moment with my personal experience, there are more faulty motors than correct ones..it might just be something like the Power Button rattle, easy to fix. I have had hands on 5 devices (including mine) - ALL of them did that Chirping sound when typing on the keyboard ( all of them were black, if it matters ). So RMA´ing now will most likely not result in a perfect device. You just might get a worse one..
So again: Wait a few months and then RMA -> until then JUST DEACTIVATE the vibration on keypress - this is an easy fix as the chirping noise only occurs on very short vibrations rhythms (e.g typing on the keyboard)
Here a sound example what everybody is talking about:

I'm very confused about what is written in the OP.
What is wrong with the vibration motors? I noticed mine is not as strong as the one in my GS3, but that's about it.

it's impossible that there is "no sound whatsoever" if your vibration is on for the keyboard. Do you even have haptic feedback on in swiftkey?

Low call volume?

I tried a phone call and the volume seems really low even at max volume. Anyone else have that issue?
Also, what about using simultaneous voice and data - does it require an update to work?
I seen some other people say that voice and data didn't work together. Are u kidding me? My old Note 2, Droid 4 and HTC One Max all had data while talking on the phone.

I too noticed low call volume. Boss got the phone same time I did and he says the same. Tried the trick of holding down volume to all the way low and then raising it and that still didnt fix it.
Loving the phone, but if I cant hear people unless its dead quiet, thats no good.
Speaker problems
I just picked up the 64gb! I love the phone...a lot! I notice the low volume on calls as well, but I think there is something more going on.
The speaker sounds absolutely horrible. There is no way this thing isn't defective. It sounds like an old speaker with a busted cone that makes the "tingy" noise. :crying: Just curious if anyone else is having this problem. I listened to the one in the store, but it was very noisy in there. I couldn't get a good gauge. I am going to go back and see what is up. These things happen, I just hope that is what it is. I powered up my Razr Maxx again and listened to see. It sounded great. Please be defective!!!

It's somewhere under the sound settings.
Yeah in the sound settings under Audio Effects.
It seems the call sound is coming from the upper right speaker not the whole speaker strip. I find it a bit loader with my ear closer to the top right corner. Seems a bit silly and i could be wrong but feels this way for me.

I agree - I think the sound is very low.
This is compared to a Galaxy S5 which I could basically set down, not use speakerphone, and still hear.
I'm also experiencing low volume in calls. It's bad enough that I'm tempted to return the phone. I've owned many smart phones and have never experienced this.
The only "workaround" that I've found is to hold the phone in an unnatural position slightly away from my ear and with my ear at the top corner of the phone, and even then the volume is still too low. Totally unacceptable. Did they never make a phone call during testing?? I hope this can somehow be addresses via a software update asap.

You're right. Seems weird that its not in the middle but its fine if you put your ear to that corner
There are little notches on the left and right side of the grill, my suspicion is that there are "stereo" speakers with one located above each notch. They may also have the audio configured to split volume between the two speakers.
Each call I have had was on speaker phone, and the call quality for me was MUCH better than my G2 and much louder. I took a call today and did not use speaker, I too noticed at first that the call volume was extremely low, I was clicking the volume up constantly and no change. Finally I moved the phone around a bit on my ear until I found the sweet spot.
It seems the call comes from the side, possibly one of the stereo speakers, I believe I remember having to hold the phone on the right side to my ear to get the best volume. It is plenty loud though, just move it around a bit and you will figure it out! Hope this helps!

High pitch noise when filming video

Hello,
I've had my Xperia 1ii for 2 weeks now and have noticed when filming video in the camera app or cinema pro, there is a kind of high pitch whine on playback. When testing in Instagram/Snapchat/WhatsApp it isn't as bad but there's still a little random noise.
Has anyone else experienced this or is the phone faulty?
Thanks
Read that somewhere, turn down microphone sensitivity. Spose to fix it.

I've decided to keep it. Everyone I've spoken to about it have said they get the same issue so hopefully Sony will fix it in their next software update.
Of, it seems when ever you open either camera app or cinema pro app and place the phone near your ear, you can hear a hiss sound. I believe that's what's causing the hissing sound as it's being amplified by the microphones.
Maybe not everyone ears is as sensitive so might not notice it as much.
Sent from my XQ-AT51 using Tapatalk
Sounds like the microphone software is set up higher than the hardware can physically handle and you're hearing the actual Hertz rate leak out electrically. Feature phones back in the day had that notorious high pitch ocilating whine.
It's not even noise, it's like an ocilating whine right?
That really sucks, the only solution is to turn down volume sensitivity, unless there's just a ground fault with the microphone design Sony is now using. That would be really bad because there's no fix to that.
Found the post I read a while ago, apparently it's the microphone picking up lens nose. That's all they put. Whether it's accurate or not I don't know.

It seems to just happen in Sony's apps so hopefully after a software update it'll be normal. When using video in Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat the problem isn't there. Cinema pro is ridiculously sensitive, it'll pick up every normal foot step you make and play it back like you're stomping around a room.
I just did another test with some headphones plugged in while doing a video recording. It has stopped the hissing sound so hopefully a software fix can resolve this. Please test to see if you have notice an improvement
