Does anyone think the vibration feature is a little loose/rough? I am coming from an iPhone 5 so I am not sure what to expect. It is almost as if rattles but the case and buttons seem rock solid.
Mine is loud. Almost more of a rattle than a vibration.

Same, only thing that feels cheap...maybe the power and volume buttons too.

Me too. It's pretty annoying. I had a razr hd when it was released and it never made this noise. I was given a refurbished razr hd and sure enough, it's vibration (more like rattle) sounds just like the vibration the Moto X makes. Two more replacement razr hds and they both had the same weird rattle. I'm wondering if they changed the vibrate component in the razr hd and are using the same one in the Moto X.
Mine to. I've got haptic feedback turned off, and reduced the intensity for the keyboard. Only thing left is the vibration for the active notifications but there doesn't seem to be a setting for it. I'm going to be ordering a replacement for other reasons, hopefully the motor will be a little weaker on the new one.
The vibration is indeed pretty harsh and bad.

I have both the Droid Mini and the X and strangely the Mini doesn't do the annoying vibrate stuff with active notifications. Hopefully they will get rid of it from the X too.

I've owned the iPhone 5, I think its vibration is a little rough.. It was bad on my RAZR M as well, I love my Galaxy Nexus' vibrate.
Maybe we should consider the Mini....?

Isn't a rough vibration better than a smooth one? Your body is more likely to detect harsh vibrations that startle you as opposed to smooth continuous ones that feel like a tickle. Previous phones I have had (N4, Gnex, SGS2), the vibrations are too soft to grab my attention, especially when in the jeans pocket. MotoX is probably the first one that doesn't seem weak.
I have no issues with feeling the GalNex vibrate, but I mean... I see your logic.

I've got to agree. On my S4, I miss almost every call due to the vibration being too soft. I remember one of the first thoughts I had when using the X was how cheap the vibration feels. After having it a few days, it's really grown on me though- it feels more substantial. This could be genius or pure accident, but to me it sounds like the "plastic on plastic" sound physical phone keyboards used to make.
On the flipside (literally?), when the phone is on a desk and it vibrates - its basically an 8 on the Richter scale...lol
Wonder if we can side load the mini`s apk and it will not have the vibrate then. Could anyone post it?

Definitely one of the first things I noticed on mine was the rattling. Very disappointed as its probably the only thing I don't like so far. Couldn't it be remedied by a kernel update or something that controls vibration strength?
So this rattling vibration is actually normal? I just got my Moto X and it's the first thing I noticed. I was about to call Sprint and exchange it but if this is normal, I guess there's no point.

I just purchased a black Moto X from at&t yesterday. Same exact vibration as described by multiple people in this thread.
Coming from a Samsung it is very disturbing, but I am sure I will get used to it. Planned on doing an exchange until I saw this thread. No other complaints about the phone other than this.
I like a smooth sounding / feeling vibration like the Samsung. This one just sounds rough, but is much more intense than Samsung.
Anybody else just get a newer one and notice this?
you guys have to remember that the vibration motor is the only moving part (well, besides the camera shutter) in the entire phone. it's literally a weighted piece of metal that rotates, to give the sensation of vibration. frankly i'm glad it can be felt at all, given the size and weight of the motor itself. older devices that had tons of room could vibrate off of your table and on to the floor (think pagers).
really, as long as it's audible and i can feel it in my pocket, i'm just happy it vibrates.

To be honest, no. If it's a hissing sound you're hearing (which I haven't heard myself), I would take it back to Sprint and tell them about it. Then get a replacement. I'm sorry if I sounded like a DB, but it's just that the phone really isn't anywhere near a problem as some people make it out to be. People over the on the EVO 4G LTE boards are saying it's hardly and upgrade, I almost wanted to ball my fist around my One and punch a hole through my monitor.

I agree, I just can't stand some people that act like the phone isn't as hyped up as it really is. This phone is HUGE for HTC, and everyone should really not nit-pick at not having a removable battery, or no SD card slot, or kick stand, or this and that. It's really all just trolling in my book.

I agree. The core functionality of the phone should work 100%. Mine works as it should, so I'm not complaining. But like I said, Sprint should be told about it, and it should be replaced if it bothers you.
But the overheating feel is a little overbearing at times when I'm holding the device,especially if it's on the charger at the same time

True. When you compare it to other phones, it gets just as warm. The reason why you think it's really "hot" is bc it's aluminum, which is a good conductor. Keep in mind that when the phone is in cooler conditions, the internals will be much cooler than the insides of a plastic phone.

Right. And in the end I think it is a good thing. If the heat is dissipating through the metal case, the processor is staying cooler. Plus with my case on it I don't feel the heat as much now.

Mine had quite a bit of hissing on the first day I had it (launch day). A couple days later it was gone. Maybe Sprint did something on their end?
I think my biggest issue right now is that bluetooth audio is distorted when I stream to my car. It's pretty much unlistenable.
The only other thing I can think of is that when I'm using headphones to listen to music and one of my alarms goes off, after the alarm is dismissed the music goes up to the alarm's volume level. Pretty painful when that happened.
Minor Issues Experienced So Far:
- Long gaming sessions make the phone incredibly hot, almost too hot, but not quite
- Sometimes pressing / holding Home button doesn't open Google Now ... or do anything
- Kind of difficult to use with one hand sometimes due to it's length and fact that it's top heavy
- Camera 'over-focuses' at night - Takes good night shots but sometimes will get stuck in a 'focus loop' for a few seconds
- Trying to switch to Swype takes some doing - It's in the notification bar but not in the Language / KB settings
- Annoying that unlocking the bootloader (rooting) erases all user data with no option to not do that
- Annoying auto-brightness for screen - Placement for the sensor for a righty is right under hand
- Confusing Camera Settings for Scene Types: Normal, Night, HDR. Night setting makes WORSE photos than Normal setting AT night.
- I miss the Motorola / Samsung options. Night, Twilight, Backlit, Inside Dark, etc.
- Last volume before mute setting is actually fairly loud, have to use touch interface to dial it in right
- Micro-USB slot is 'upside-down' compared to most others which have small end on top.
- Little slippery without a case
- Touch doesn't work with gloves at all - vs. my previous Droid Charge which did
Moderate Issue:
- No LTE in my area (yet), 3G gets terribad reception indoors (could be a Sprint thing in general).
Even with these minor issues - most of which can and probably will be fixed with software updates - I still love this thing. It's just unbelievably fast. The fact that it boots in under 10 seconds, the fact that I can run any game (ShadowGun and Real Racing 3 look amazing), and load it in seconds, is awesome. The IR blaster is probably one of the features I have used the most. From controlling a bar TV to my home, it's incredibly convenient. I also have come to love BlinkFeed and just about everything else. This phone gets attention in public for the screen and the beautifully engineered design. I love it.

This must be your first HTC phone. My EVO 3D, EVO 4G LTE and my HTC One all have the USB port positioned the exact same way. I've never really handled a phone other than HTC phones, so I don't know if Samsung has it the other way, or any other manufacturers.

Are there any known issues with the vibration motor on the MotoX? I'm pretty sure mine has gone out. I've tried a factory reset and even completely reinstalling stock firmware using RSDLite. Sometimes the motor will randomly start working again, but this is pretty rare.
Should I send it back for a replacement? I have a customized MotoX from AT&T.
Also, I noticed that compared to my Nexus 4, the MotoX vibration motor seemed very strong and the Nexus 4 motor seemed weak in comparison. Was that normal?
Thanks.

it will take a long time to get your phone back if you send it in. they might just let you order a new one. if they do you will get two options. send it in. wait for them to check it in. (7-15 days) and then they will give you a code. or you can send it in. buy another one. and they will credit you back once they check it in. (7-15 days)
they do have issues with the vibrate. my first was excellent. my second one is more or less hollow feeling. there are complaints on it all over this forum. dunno what to tell ya from there.
Mine sucks. Sounds like a baby rattle when I type. My little bro had a RAZR that did the same.

Okay guys,
I haven't posted anything on XDA for a long time.
But my stupidity has led me to posting once again.
My Nexus 5 was performing great. Loved it! No defects whatsoever.
In these days it seems like you need to be a bit lucky when buying tech.
It happens quite a lot that one buys a device, only to find that something or other is wrong with it.
With this thought still in the back of my mind, I noticed my N5 behaving strangely a couple of days ago.
And of course thought to myself: "Yep, there we go. What will it be this time."
See, the thing was that sometimes when I turned the screen off and put the phone down, it would turn the screen on again.
"That's odd." I thought to myself. And the weird thing was, it wasn't consistent.
Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't.
Very odd indeed. To top it off sometimes it would have the actually quite cool feature of turning the screen on when I picked it up.
Just before I wrote this I was browsing the web, annoyed about my faulty Nexus, when for a short pause I looked at my desk.
Was I really that stupid? Could it be?
My N5 was laying on my N7... The N7 was nicely protected by a case...
This case... Has a magnet in it...
Apparently the N5 has an auto on off function for flip covers. My god did I feel stupid.
This was one of the biggest face palm's of my tech life and I couldn't resist to share.
Post your recent discoveries!:good:
Cheers,
Daan
There isn't much about the N5 that surprised me, but here goes :
- you can take a picture using the volume buttons (I know it's from 4.3, but I often forget that it works!)
- compatible flip covers can wake up the phone
- you can scrub back and forth through a song on the lock screen (not just skipping tracks)
- ART vs Dalvik
I think that's it.
multi color led is a big one for me... was using light flow but wasn't seeing different colors... tapped on the led a few times and it 're seated'...
You can use your Nexus 5 for hammering nails*

I got real lucky with it, not a single defect that other people complain about. No dead pixels, literally zero light bleed, tight buttons, pretty good battery life, and awesome vibration. I never get perfect phones, they always have some sort of annoying defect. It's nice for a change lol
My haptic is rattly as well. I don't think it is a defect, just a different implementation from what I am used to. I am coming from a GS3 and the haptic was much more subtle. I wish it could be changed, but I'm dealing with it ok.

Some phones are better than others. Had 1 moto x with horrible rattling, the other 3 i've had are acceptable. The moto x itself doesn't have the best of vibration motors. Can always replace if you cant stand yours, maybe you'll have more luck.
I have to wonder if they just have the vibration timers set weird in software. I use Swype with haptic feedback turned on, and since it lets you adjust the timing of the vibration, it gives some room to play with things. I set mine to 15ms and it's not bad.
The default vibration modes do suck... I totally agree that it's a little "rattly".

I'm really starting to question some of the design choices Samsung made on the Note 4 when it comes to usability. Specs don't mean anything if it's not a functional phone.
Even on the highest level of Vibration intensity, the Note 4's vibration is *extremely* weak.
Now, I may be biased as I see vibration as one of the basic functions of a device and the Note 4 would be very hard to notice under ANY circumstances. I'd be willing to bet most people would be hard pressed to notice it in their pocket for any type of notification, including phone calls.
Has any one else noticed this?

Samsung is horrible when it comes to vibration strength. I think HTC hits it on spot with every phone they turn out. This issue has been one of my biggest on all Samsung phones and I have had them all. I work in a loud areas all the time and people get upset when I don't respond to text or emails. With the Note 4, I sure hope it's no worse than the past phones. I'll have mine Note come Friday.
Enjoy your new toy lol!!!

I had the Note 2 as well and it was the same case of low vibration. Depending on what type of case you have on the phone and what type of table/desk it's laying on, then yeah it does just fine I agree, but In the pocket it really sucks.
I guess it all depends on personal preference. Even with that aside, I don't see any issue with the vibration intensity with the N4. If you can't feel that in your pocket then Maybe I'll pick pocket you. j/k
Keep in mind the thinness of the phone. Why waste any more space on a vibrator?
To me it's plentiful. It's fine.

Now, I may be biased as I see vibration as one of the basic functions of a device and the Note 4 would be very hard to notice under ANY circumstances. I'd be willing to bet most people would be hard pressed to notice it in their pocket for any type of notification, including phone calls.
Has any one else noticed this?

I had the Note 2 as well and it was the same case of low vibration. Depending on what type of case you have on the phone and what type of table/desk it's laying on, then yeah it does just fine I agree, but In the pocket it really sucks.

Ah that could be it. I don't use a case at all. Haven't my past two phones. So yeah its a bare phone sitting on my desk.
