Vibration Intensity - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked in all the threads opened with vibration problems but haven't found my issue.
Which is : the vibration intensity raises with each press ( I think it has 3 vibration intensity ) To be more precise if , for example, I press the back button once I get a low intensity vibration, but if I pressed it quickly for 3,4,5,6 times I can hear how the vibrator increases the intensity and stays that way. So the intensity is not the same if I press the same button once or more times.
Has someone this behavior on their phones? Maybe is normal, but in my old S2 the vibration was constant form the beginning. Thanks!
L.E. : At least answer me please if your phone's vibration is ok, just test it by pressing the back button once, and then press it again for about 6 times repeatedly if you have haptic feedbak enabled

Happens on my phone too. Might be that the vibration engine needs to be more precisely controlled (could be done with software, maybe).

I also have this issue which I find rather annoying when pressing the back button quickly.

It's completely normal. The vibration is sort of a spinning disc and it needs about half a second to spin up to high speed. When you trigger short vibrations repeatedly it doesn't stop completely between each tap and the vibration feels stronger.

Thank you, this now makes sense.

The same here!
It's normal!

It is normal for Xperia Z maybe, but I haven't seen a phone that does same (Xperia U,J, Samsung S2,S3,Note2, HTC Sensation, Iphone 4,5, S3 Mini, even Allview etc.) , feels like a cheap phone vibration in my opinion. If I type on my keyboard, and I type really quick, the phone is continuous vibrating, that sucks in my opinion, where is the haptic feedback in this?
P.S. thank you all for answering, I thought that my phone had a hardware problem.

Try changing the vibration intensity in the keyboard settings, worked for me

Thread revival. I am experiencing the exact same thing on my Z Ultra. It feels really awkward to my Note 2. Not sure if it really is 'normal', just bad implementation.

It is normal. I ve tested it on several Sony Z . I ve even changed the vibrator in one of them and it is the same thing. That is how the module works.

This is 100% true
I discoverd this when i Smashed a ps2 controller

After fixing the vibration problem now I this issue appears
Can it be fixed by replacing the vibration motor?

Vibration problem

Lately my vibration has gotten weaker, too weak to even feel in my pocket. Sometimes it cycles between strong and weak while vibrating, like the vibration motor is starting to malfunction. Is it time for the VIP service, or is it possible this could be software-related?
You running stock rom? Sometimes, its s/w problem...
Stock ROM, yes.
Of course, the day after I call the VIP service the phone starts to vibrate properly again. It still weakens sometimes but seems to work 95% of the time. I think I'll hold on to it for now, don't want the VIP service to give me a phone that reboots and crap..
Okay.. awkward. The vibrate function nearly died out again. But, I noticed something weird.. if I hold the phone in front of a lamp and make it vibrate, the vibration gets stronger and stronger until it's back to normal. Then when I turn off the lamp the vibration weakens again (slowly).
???
EDIT: Just now when I was holding down the lower volume button to make it vibrate, it wouldn't stop vibrating even when I let go of the button. It kept vibrating harder and harder and I almost thought it was gonna blow out, but I managed to make it stop by pressing the capacitive buttons (the other buttons did not respond). Wtf.

[Q] Very loud, but very weak vibration motor

Hi,
I've bought new Sony Xperia Z1 a few days ago and overall it's a great device, but there is one issue, which is very annoying for me.
The vibration motor is very loud, but at the same time vibrations are just weak, so that when the ringtone is set on the lowest level, the motor is louder than this ringtone and when I keep the phone in my pocket I can hardly feel anything when it's vibrating.
In the keyboard I've set the shortest possible vibrating time, but it still makes more sound than vibrations.
The pitch of the sound is increasing with the duration of the motor working: eg. when I push home button for one time, the sound is quite low (but still loud), but when I press a few times in a row the sound gets higher and even more irritating.
Is it normal behavior for this smartphone? It's very annoying, because vibration should be discrete way to notify me about incoming calls or text messages. The fact that it is louder than a normal ringtone makes it useless.
Is it possible to fix it via software or is it a hardware issue and I should send the phone to the repair center (i'm afraid to do it, because they've destroyed my phone in the past).
I have the same problem, sometimes it works, but mostly it is making a scratching sound.
I've turned off the vibration when pressing the screen/keyboard, makes too much noise.
It is probably a hardware issue, i want to fix it by myself, because i don't trust the repair centers.

vibration very weak here: if in pocket or on any surface I can hardly feel it

[Q] change the vibration pattern on Moto X

Hey guys,
I love the X but in my mind there is a big problem with this phone. The strength of the vibration. I searched the whole forum and it seems that there is still no solution to adjust the strength of it.
Maybe a custom rom could work but i want to keep the stock.
I now had the idea of “replacing” the standard vibration with the one that applies, when you shake your phone to enable the camera mode. In my opinion it has a very smooth feeling, is strong enough to feel in your pocket without making this rattle and noisy sound.
Is it possible to extract the corresponding code that tells the phone how it should vibrate when the camera is activated and exchange the normal vibration behavior with it, when I get a notification.
Or am I off the track with this idea that the vibration function is controlled by a simple code line?
I looked to see if I could find that vibrate pattern somewhere and emulate it with Tasker, because like you said, it feels very smooth and gradual, instead of the violent feel of the "normal" one.
In Tasker you can specify the pattern for vibration in an OFF/ON/OFF/ON/etc sequence. I played with it for a little while one day but didn't get very far. I tried a few different on and off times to see what felt similar but couldn't pin it down.
I did poke around in the system for files related to the camera to see if there was any files specifying how to make it vibrate, but I didn't have any luck there either.
For what it's worth, I use Tasker to vibrate my phone when I get a new SMS and my screen is off. I use a shorter vibration than the standard SMS one, but still do two pulses.

Xperia XZ1 Compact vibration motor

Is it just mine or is the vibration motor on steroids in this phone I mean it's insane haha whenever I get an incoming call it just goes crazy.
It's not just you. Just got the phone on Wed. Almost returned it the same day. Gonna give it a good couple of days. Vibration is way too strong. And it's terrible when typing (the ramp up strength). Probably the one thing that i hate on the phone.
You can change the typing vibration intensity in the SwiftKey app settings.
As for calls and messages, you'll probably need root to do something about it.
It's normal. (There's already threads about this)
Apparently, that's like that for all Sony phones.

Yes. It's quite exuberant. I turn it off for calls.

Pie vibration strength

I just updated my P10 to Android 9, and remarked that the vibration intensity is changed, it's weaker than it was on 8.0, is it just me or you guys felt the same?
I felt that vibration is changed, but in my case it feels stronger.
Not in my case, when I'm taping the keyboard stops vibration on some keys, it's just annoying
