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:

Greetings and sorry for the bad English grammar - I´m European aswell :S
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?

Mine works great too, no problems, but it does seem to get quite hot, although it's 100F here in TX lately..
Perhaps breaking in the speakers before pushing it for 2 hours at full volume would be a good idea. They should have warned us about that somewhere like in the quick start guide (which I literally threw away and didn't even look at sadly)..
*shrug*
edit: I pulled out the QSG and skimmed it right quick.. Kind of lame and of course nothing about speakers. Nothing useful really, in fact.. But I felt bad Google made that nice little pamphlet, so I had to open it for them..
Just been in Skype for an hour and 30 mins ( to my mum and dad ) the sound was fine , no crackles ,have not seen the film yet ... mmmm

I knew this would happen when Google picked asus. I had to return 3 transformer primes before getting a good one and that one developed a defect as well before i sold it. There is a reason asus can get their tablets so cheap and i think its because they allow way more defects through QC than they should banking on the fact a lot of people will accept minor issues.
It means nothing - this place is a cluster and because we can't see the whole picture (we have no sales figures), we have no real idea about the QC of the device or how wide-spread problems are.
my Speaker sound fine. I've played at full volume for extended periods of time with no issue.
Google chose Asus because of tegra3 and Asus is the one leading the android tablet front this year so far. All top android tablets come from Asus and has tegra3.
Well my speaker buzzes so much I cant hear a thing. And the screen is lifting on the left hand side. Google have no idea when they will send me a replacement. Not at all impressed.

Well, if you two think it's just a few bad units generating complaints how about trying to reproduce the original poster's problem by putting volume on max and playing Transformers start to finish? If everything is fine afterwards we can all be happy! But if the speakers fail we have a design problem.
This is a testable issue. But I'm not going to push my luck testing it.

I returned a nexus due to a blown speaker, I was happy it was within my 14 days
My N7 was also perfect until the speaker got blown after about a month. I sent it in to ASUS and they sent me a new one a week later. Unfortunately it's still a C60 model but so far so good, but it has only been two days. So we'll see.
I'm running stock at full volume and have watched many movies with no problems. Some Roms come with a volume boost maybe that is the problem? Else at least they seem to replace units without much hassle. We shall see how all these new tablets play out.

Here's a micro sample.
It's as reasonable an indicator as is possible to get without forcing all N7 owners to register and vote.

The biggest issues with the N7 seem to involve the screen.
Superimpose those figures on a million devices sold ?
It doesn't look good for the QC department at Asus.
I'm on my 4th Nexus, and it is also faulty. The only one I had for more than a few days blew its speaker after I listened to some music.
The thing is buggier than a tramp's vest.
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.

Hey Guys,
I noticed that the Xperia uses a strange vibration motor.
With all the other devices i have owned i have not had this before.
usually when you type on your keyboard and it uses vibration, it will vibrate the same way every time.
With this one i notice the vibration builds up.
so the faster you type or make it vibrate after another, it will increase in vibration strength.
do you also have this or is it just mine?
Yes it's normal.
Next time use the Q&A forum to ask your questions.

I turned all vibration except ringing off. I do not like it at all. I prefer the standard vibration other phones have. It does to that building up thing the faster you type. It's either because of poor PWM control if it even uses PWM or an underpowered motor.

Well my Z1 is going back to Expansys over the vibration motor. Hit the back key a few times so speed builds up then if I hit any other button I get a weird scratching sound, literally like a DJ scratching some vinyl, as I can't be without a phone I've had to order a new one from Expansys!!!

My first Z1 did the wind up and also was stronger when alerts came through I could feel them in my pocket. I had to exchange my handset Thursday and this feels underpowered, so I checked another unit today and it's the same as my one now. I wonder if the first so many handsets had overpowered vibration motors in them?

Hi, ended up here while searching for vibration problems with my xepria z1.
I believe the vibration is not strong enough when receiving a notification: I can barely feel it...
What is all this fuzz about vibration motor?
Really, in the office, where my phone is in vibration mode only, laying on the desk, I can't feel and I can't hear the vibration...

This isn't normal. Mine did the same thing and gave a weird noise that builds up the faster you type. I actually had another issue where the left audio channel didn't work when using headphones. So I sent it back for repair only to get a replacement unit because they couldn't fix the audio issue.
After receiving my brand new Z1 I noticed I now have a perfectly working vibration motor as well, no building up when typing fast and no weird noise. So this isn't exactly normal and I do think it is a defective or overpowered vibration motor.
I would get a replacement unit.

Sorry to being this old thread up. I was merely doing my search.
I tell ya.. this is clearly a design flaw. Either the motor or the driver - unable to give specific pulses.
You tap ten characters successively and you get 1 straight buzz all the way,.. and ya guys actually like it?
Ten taps should result in 10 distinctive vibration pulses.
One reason why I sold the XZ was this. And earlier I tested the Z1c in a shop and it had the same issue.
I've used a lot of phones before and none of them behave this way. The Sony is clearly the odd one out.
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.

If I shake it I don't hear any rattling so it is just the motor.

had the same experience with my AT&T version, that i've since returned because i got a T-Mobile 64GB version. vibration on the T-Mobile 64GB version is noticeably quieter. i wouldn't interpret this to mean there's something wrong with the AT&T version; this is just my experience.
I've noticed the noise as well with my AT&T variant, but I'm not going to go back and exchange the device over this, its not like it'll cause anything bad in the future(hopefully not)
I just RMA'd mine today because of this. My cube neighbors at work can hear the clicky vibration when I type at my desk. :/ Hopefully the replacement isn't worse as it sounds like this varies by phone and seems like a QC issue (which I thought we weren't supposed to have with a "no compromises" nexus).
its not a defect. the replacement you receive will have the same "issue". the vibration motor in the nexus 6 is VERY strong...

I beg to differ. I have 3 nexus 6's and only 1 had this issue.
I don't know if I should RMA over this.
My nexus 6 has a loud, rattling vibration only sometimes. I bought from the play store and they said since the phone works they will not do a rma. So im returning it. If it was just a strong motor it wouldnt only happen sometimes
I don't mind loud vibator but the rattling noise is annoying.
Yes mine does it also, but as you stated no rattle if you shake the device... So I turned off vibrate on keyboard and deal with it any other time

My girlfriend complains about mine being really loud and annoying. She tells me to put it on silent. I'm not sure if it rattles though, just very strong vibration.

It looks like everyone has the rattle. Who doesn't?

I had 3 Nexus 6's and 2 did NOT have the rattle/metallic clicking. It's a defect.

I can confirm this. Ive two Nexus 6 with me right now. One makes clicking sounds when typing with haptic feedback on while the other is completely silent. Not sure if this is a defect though but it doesnt really bother me too much cause i dislike typing with haptic feedback turned on.
