As the tittle says
Do you find the Vibrator servo weak or strong enough?
Personally i find it a bit weak compared to my older phones
When it vibrates unless i'm next to it, i wont even hear/feel it
if i leave it at the coffee table, and i'm working at the room next door, no doors, i wont even know a phone or message came through.
Speakers are super good, i can be on the far end of the house/office, and still hear it from the other end
I am fairly sure you are not intended to hear the motor, its supposed to be for silent alerts in your pocket. I realise most are audible but pretty sure it is not the actual idea.
Feel it though, yeah I find it pretty strong when it is actually receiving a call on my belt holder, not so much for haptic feedback. I think it feels quite "tight" compared to previous phones too, it really seems to be sharp start and finish motor wise and I can only really refer to the feeling as "bouncy" which I quite like.
There are of course stronger ones out there, but this is a pretty slim phone.
The loudspeaker though I am seriously disappointed by, it is ok when open but I can nearly silence it with a single finger over the opening on the case, so when it is in a pocket outside I find it to be pretty useless. It is also easily muffled if left ontop of a slightly soft surface.
The Motorola Milestone was super loud by comparison, and the audio quality of the Milestone was simply superior in all cases - I miss that aspect. Apparently a lot of Droid owners had audio problems but I think that was less of a case with the Euro firmware.
no, i was not refering to loud "motor" rather when the vibration shakes the phone and it rattles on the desk, it doesn't rattle loud enough.
compared to Treos or BlackBerries i've used in the past
I realised but I think did not reply very well. I just can't think of a better term than tight for the motor though, it seems to be quick and sharp which I feel against my skin quite easily but is perhaps too quick to allow for much up/down motion against a hard surface. It sort of feels more like a buzzing of an electric shaver to me.

yeah, exactly that's how it feels and sounds when placed on a table
it doesn't produce enough vibration to make a noticeable sound
I'm interested to see if other people with the 2014 Moto X are noticing the same thing or if I got a particularly loud one... I've got a pure edition. It feels like every time I get a text or call the buzzing noise from the phone is way louder than any phone I've owned previously.
I'll look into turning down the intensity of it with root (if that can be done later), but curious to hear you guys' thoughts.
Thanks!
I feel mines is just right for me, smooth, just the right of power inside a sturdy body where as my N5 is too weak and my 2013 X is loud and could shatter a window. Yours could be a little loose or it just might be you're use to other devices.

Thanks for the reply... Yeah, I came from the LG G2 and the Nexus 4 before that. Neither just seemed to be nearly as loud or rattle-y. Since I use the vibrate function basically exclusively over an audible notification, I wanted to get a feel for other's experiences.

Mine feels incredibly cheap! In fact it's my number one complaint, there is no vibration really, just a high pitched whirring that sounds like something is tearing itself up inside.

Yep... number one here as well, and it sounds like yours is similar to mine. Shoot! I was hoping for a one off. I'm gonna run into a few AT&T stores this week to see if they have any Xs out on display. Hopefully seeing a few others will let us know if it's a widespread thing or not.

You need to get that checked out, like go to a store and compare another X to yours. It sounds like yours may be defective.
My 2014's vibration is nearly identical to my 2013's in both strength and sound.
Hey guys, I just got my Moto X yesterday, but the vibrator is very loud and is doing a rattle noise, it's very annoying.
Is anyone experiencing this? Any fix?
The vibration just sucks on the phone sadly
I always seem to have bad luck with vibration motors but not this time around. On my X it's super quiet, but plenty strong.
OP yes, its loud and it sucks....what can you do, I think the placement of the motor is what makes is sound and feel so bad.

Yeah what a shame, I might return it and maybe I get lucky and get back a better unit I don't know ...

If that was the case then they would all be loud. Again, mine is super quiet, and actually among the best of any of the phones I've owned. One of the first things I noticed when I first got my X was how great the vibration sounded.
The problem is the sound it makes it 'hollow', not really sure how to describe it....it doesnt sound like its defective or broken...just doesnt sound or feel 'right'

Not mine, it's very nice and high quality sounding. The vibration is one of the things I'm most picky about, and I'm super happy with the way my X sounds. I know last year's X had some units that were good and some that weren't. Mine was terrible last year but everything else was flawless so I lived with it.

Mine is quiet, feels almost as nice as a samsung phone, much better than my previous htc' s; on my htc one of the speakers had a problem and the replaced it together with the vibration, after that repair my htc felt a lot better no rattling. I would return your phone for warranty
Got it. Well I'm returning mine. Not for this 'issue' but gong with something different.
Same for me. Low vibrations but noisy. But I don't want to return for this for the moment.

Yeah, mine seems like that, not broken, but, strange, like if it is a little loose... It makes a LOT of noise, i will search for another moto X and see if it makes the same noise. I can hear the vibrations even when i press the keyboards buttons!
I just the Note 5 and noticed that the S Pen has a very noticeable rattle when shaken. The end that clicks in and out appears to be very loose and I can also hear it when I shake the phone as well. Is this normal or are some S Pens built a little more solid?
Mine rattles too, but as far as the functionality is not compromised I don't think that it's an issue.
I dont have a very noticable rattle. My spen has a rattle when I shake it but I have to try to hear it to notice the rattling. (If that makes sence). And I dont hear a rattle when it is in my phone, so I dont know what wrong. Maybe some are built better or it could be wear and tear. Do you know if yours is new or used?

Ditto
Is anyone else experiencing a slight rattle when you sit the phone down or tap it? Not sure if it's the vibrating motor or something?

That actually makes me feel more at ease. So it's not likely defective but more likely just a larger vibrator motor or something. Which, makes sense because the vibrating on this thing is strong.

It's funny that shaking it does not create the sound. Only laying it down on something hard.

Yes exactly. Or if you tap on the back.
I feel it rattling when it vibrates which makes it feel a bit cheap but haven't noticed that tapping out would make rattle as well which it does.
Could you please confirm that it rattles a bit when it vibrates on your device as well?

It doesn't seem to do that for me. But vibration does seem overly strong like on cheaper phones at times.

Ex kernel manager or other kernel tools let you adjust vibration intensity.
Ok actually all percentage values feel the same so probably some driver restrictions

Same with my A2. I located it at the camera or somewhere near. It is definitely not the vibration motor itself.

Maybe from the image stabilization?

Don't think so, since the A2 has no OIS.

It doesn't have ois. Edit: too slow
Oh ok, just EIS. Well who knows what it could be. Can't be a defective unit if it's the same for all of us.
With my device happens the same, and the rattle is quite loud, it even makes some vibration during calls with high volume. Everyone can confirm this? Im curious to know if it is a defect or all A2 are like that.
Can confirm it happens for me also
Same problem here. I am assuming that volume buttons are producing that rattle noise. If you take your phone in the hand and shake nothing happens, but when you tap just under camera lenses you can hear the rattle , volume buttons are only near and not fixed, so...
Hello,
I think the vibrations are the cameras, like in the A1.
I remember that in the A1 forum there is a similar post.
Sorry for my English, regards!
Not the buttons. Most likely optics in the camera that are movable for autofocus. Most cameras now seem to have this
I faced the same "problem". Same rattling like on the mi 4c.
Its the camera auto focus.
Same here.
