Hi, anyone out there experiencing weak vibration on z3 compact. Is there anyway that we can increase vibration intensity on this phone, i cant even feel it vibrate in my jeans.
When walking around with it in your pocket I don't think you could feel it in your pants easily. The vibration on the phone, even when maxed out is pretty weak.
I think it's just a hardware design that had to suffer due to the compact design.
I agree that the vibration is fairly subtle, but part of me likes this. Though I do miss texts more frequently than with my previous phone (HTC One Mini), it also is far less annoying when it's sitting on a table. The One Mini would be too disturbing in this situation, while the Z3C is quiet - especially useful in a meeting or even at home when your significant other is trying to sleep.
If you are missing notifications, try modifying the vibration length/pattern to something more noticeable. This works well in messaging apps like Textra.
Thank you guys for you reply, appreciate.

You're right, i do miss alot notifications, such as whatsapp, wechat, etc. Do u hav any recommend apps to increase length and intensity of vibration without root.

Coming from HTC Desire Hd I find the vibration quite weak and I've missed quite a few calls and as for sms it is so short I almost never feel it. Any similar experiences? Is there any possibility my unit is defected?
this is also my biggest problem with the note. hopefully with a case, some thickness will be achieved and I will feel the vibrations.
I come from a HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile) and the vibration is really a lot weaker then the vibrate from my Touch Pro and also a lot shorter for most of the alarms.
As i believe the vibration intensity can not be changed as this is hardware. Maybe we can make the vibration longer somehow?
Best would be to set the vibration length etc. for every single alarm event?
I miss so many settings from my windows mobile device in android.
Try:Settings>Sound>Viberation intensity

yes. thanks but i already found that setting and everything is on the highest setting for me but it is still a lot weaker then Touch Pro.
But i think i can live with this.
Also it seems the Google Mail App (not the normal E-Mail App ) does not support vibration at all?
I'm very happy with my Z so far, I'm having to wait for my micro sim to activate, but that's not the phones fault.
However, the vibration seems to be causing a high pitched buzzing, like a piece of paper vibrating. I thought my X10 vibrated aggressively, but even in mid air my Z creates a loud buzz.
I noticed it the first time I pressed the home key and initially thought it may be the screen protector (that matt finish was actually nice to use :/) but even with both the front and back protector gone it's still there.
I guess this is mainly an issue because I never have the ringtone on, just vibrate, and vibrate for Gmail and this Tapatalk too. So if the vibration is faulty I think I'll unfortunately have to get a replacement as I don't want it dieing in a month.
Hopefully I'm being stupid and it's some software thing but I don't think so as it's coming directly from the bottom and not the speaker to the right.
Any feedback on your devices and what you think is wrong with mine (or not wrong if this buzz is normal :/) would be appreciated

Yes it's strong.
Sometimes I jump at night from my bed, just because the phone start buzzing on table.
What about when it's not on a table though? Mine sounds like there is a label or piece on the paper left behind inside the device :/
I just want to make sure it's not faulty

This vibrator is "louder than stronger" , as in all thin phones.
Set vibration strength to max, and write on keyboard very fast. It'll start to sound like a broken shaver
Where would I find the option to change vibration strength?

Made my day, still giggling like a retard
Yes, the vibrator is quite well audible. As pointed out already, part of this is due to the slimness of the device.
Seriously.. I think the system can't control the vibrator well.
Even with moderate vibration, it is not accurate when you type fast on the keyboard. At time it vibrates longer than it should... and that's messed up!
The noise is definitely there.. sounding like a fly stuck each time it vibrates.
I do like this phone.. but each day, the flaws make me think otherwise.. Oh well..
Anyone notice the vibration is missing in action in few places when in Stamina mode?

Ye, I've been thinking it's very hit and miss. Sometimes the navigation bar gives you a vibrate and other times not...

Is there a way to set the vibration strength for incoming calls / mails / etc? The RC car sound of the vibrator is driving me nuts...

I white-listed Smart Connect to deactivate-reactivate mobile data and toggle between vibration mode and normal, all of this from 11.30 pm to 6.20am.
Now, Smart Connect vibrates when an event occurs... it's so strong I don't even need an alarm anymore to wake me up.
My first device had this problem along with noise from the speaker while in a call. The second one got neither! The vibrator is still strong but much less noisy and the speaker and loud speaker are loud without the distortion :-\

I think I'll have to get a replacement :/ the buzz seems far too loud.
But not only that, I think, as I pointed out at the start of this thread, the vibrator is actually faulty abd doesn't vibrate for all texts. I can be fairly sure it's a hardware issue as even running the vibration test in the service menu doesn't always result in a vibration.

My sony z3 compact was dead after being used under water for seconds. I took off the sim card and sdcard, and dried it. I drown it into a sack of rice for 3 days. After that, its still not working but keeps on buzzing for so long time, even I charge it or not. It keeps on buzzing but could not turn on. Somebody help me, or advice me for what happened to my phone. I want to retrieve it.
[Q] Do you guys get a noise when the vibration motor "vibrates" when typing?
So when I'm typing at all. The vibration motor makes a like scratching noise and doesn't vibrate but when say I call it. It'll vibrate normally. Is this normal?

Some of the Nexus 5 devices have this too. Some consider it a defect, and some dont. If you dislike it, I would just exchange device for a new one.

I'm noticing this, too. I also saw a similar post on the nexus 6 subreddit.
Can more owners of the Nexus 6 chime in? Is this a defect or normal?
Mine does it as well - I think it's normal. Probably the camera lens.
Mine too
The vibrator in this phone is really loud. If it is a ticking sound I agree that it is probably the OIS parts in the camera making noise as they move around since the motors appears to be near the camera. IF you shake your phone you might be able to hear it as well and a lot of people think that's a defect when they've not use a device with OIS before.
Occasionally once I start typing a lot, yes. I just turned the vibration length down in the keyboard settings... helped somewhat.
Ah so this one also must have cheap vibrator like n5. I wished it had Samsung like one. Bad..
I had to exchange my first N6 for a new one due to the sensors failing. My original one did exactly this, it was driving me nuts. My new one does not though.
Mine is loud but it doesn't rattle anything
Mine is loud also. Noticeable while in a quiet room. Nothing seems broken but I hate it drives me nuts. Other then that phone is great
On the first generation nexus 5, I've observed this. The culprit was the loose physical buttons. Do check the same on the nex6 as well.
Changing the orientation of the phone usually helps.
Yeah I was just thinking today how ****ty mine sounds when I'm in a quiet environment. I turned off my feedback for the keyboard . Went back to my M8 and that vibration is solid when typing.
I've returned att n6 for vibrator rattle. I am not exchanging it becuz I don't want to play return game. I am really disapponted for this price they used cheap vibrator like N5. I am done.
Anybody doesn't hear rattle I quiet environment?
Mine is loud also.
Had the same problem on my first n6. The second one is MUCH better!
I'm not talking about loud vibrator. Something's rattling while vibrating in quiet environment. You hear it.
I notice this too when I use haptic feedback on my Nexus 6. I hear a click/rattle or something coming from the top speaker. It's kinda annoying in a quiet environment.
It only happens when it vibrates quickly (i.e. typing with haptic feedback on). I don't hear it when there's a longer vibration (i.e. incoming message/phone call). Either that, or the vibration is so powerful/loud it's overcoming the rattle.
I'm going to the AT&T store after work that has a Nexus 6 demo model. I'll compare it with that and report back with my findings.
Mine seems to have this issue too. I can hear some noises when I'm typing with haptic feedback on. Not a big issue to me too since I dislike typing with haptic feedback.
I just wanted to check, do others find the vibration motor is very weak?
If the phones in my pocket, i can't feel it at all... i've missed so many calls and messages because of it.
Even when it's on a table, it's not really strong and a case weakens it even more.
It's making me not want the phone because I have to keep it on loud with ringtones on. Why is there no way to increase vibration settings in... settings?
Agree
I am finding this annoying as well when I bought it from a friend who used it for 2 years. My previous phone was/is LG L70, a budget phone, and the vibration was pretty strong that I can even hear it, and rarely I missed calls or something on it because it wasn't directly touching in any way my body to feel it, whether in pocket in jeans or jacket chest pocket, usually I still felt something vibrating. But this one, even in almost decent silence where I should be able to hear my Huawai P10, I barely felt something was emitting something on my table, and I figured it was vibration, checked my phone and someone was calling. I barely feel it vibrating in my hands as well...
I personally really dislike having ringtones when someone is calling, or messaging, so I prefer vibrating as only means of signaling while having silence without annoying others with my preferred signals, but this way...I can easily miss whatever call it is and it will make me paranoid of constantly checking the phone, which I wouldn't like to have, if in any case I do develop it(paranoia).
Is there any way, to make the vibration stronger?
With the Nexus 6 I could hear it and feel it.
With the Xperia XZ2 I don't hear it and feel it only a little bit.
XZ2 doesnt have a vibrator motor in it, it now has a mechanism similar to the iphone that makes a thump rather than a vibration.

Thanks!
In my opinion I don't regonize it as often as a normal vibration motor.
