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.

When I am in a call, usually to my other half, I use the jog wheel to adjust the in call volume and the volume level varies depending on the person I speaking to, I adjust it the volume to the lowest setting during the call yet her voice still takes my head off.
Is this a problem with the phone in that the in call volume can't be set below a certain level or does my girlfriend talk freakishly loud.
Either way I am going to lose the hearing in my right ear if there isn't a fix to this. Either gagging her or a ROM update/Registry setting to change.
I have a Vario III.
Anyone else suffer from this?
Some calls for me are Freakishly loud some are barely audible on the highest setting. I sometimes get calls that have background noise that kills me and even on the lowest setting it doesn't help to stop the high pinched squealing. This phone acts weird about the volume the lowest setting is not very quiet like you say.

I have the same, but thats not my phone problem.
Does anyone else have trouble feeling the vibration for a notification. If driving I never feel the vibration. The only time I really feel it is I am doing nothing, no move of the arm and then I feel a small tingle. I do have the vibration setting on strong and have all audio disabled as I am hard of hearing and wouldn't hear them, only annoy other people.
We need an app that lets us set vibration patterns, allowing for a longer vibration instead of the two short pulses.
Agreed, my Pebble vibration is much stronger. Sometimes I don't even feel it on the Gear
1. This phone has a 480p display, no? So why does youtube not have a 480p option; I've seen it on numerous other phones.
2. Is there a way to turn down the vibration amount for notifications? I know there is a setting for this in CM but rom is currently in alpha for this phone. The vibration is a bit too strong for me, compared to my old xperia. With my headphones on and some background noise the vibration is still very loud and startling even. I usually leave my phone on vibrate, so was wondering if there was an option to tone it down a bit.
Thanks
the vibration is a little noisy like a buzz, do you have this too?
Yes. And the vibration doesn't always work. Very disappointing. I'd say the vibration is broken on this phone, especially with typing. I've turned it off completely.
Hey All,
Does anyone else have an issue while during a phone call if you witch to speakerphone the volume stays low?
It gets barely louder when I flip it off handset volume to speaker. This didn't always happen, maybe over the past month or 2. I've got all updates, I've reset the phone, not sure if it does it in the middle of a call of if it happens right away as I mostly notice it when I set my phone down mid call and flip to speaker ... I crank the volume, the speaker does change but it's very quiet.
At a loss on what to do here, I've gone through all the volume settings while on call and nothing makes it louder when on speaker so unfortunately end up flipping back to in call so I can hear the other person.
