I've been using the Galaxy S for a while now, but just tonight I've noticed that haptic feedback is making a really strange noise. I don't really understand it, but the setting below default for vibrate intensity and below (the one right under middle) is making strange sounds, sort of like the sounds that you got from playing Commander Keen when we ran on DOS...
Is this normal, or has my motor broken or something? It's strange and it's sort of annoying...
I've looked in all the threads opened with vibration problems but haven't found my issue.
Which is : the vibration intensity raises with each press ( I think it has 3 vibration intensity ) To be more precise if , for example, I press the back button once I get a low intensity vibration, but if I pressed it quickly for 3,4,5,6 times I can hear how the vibrator increases the intensity and stays that way. So the intensity is not the same if I press the same button once or more times.
Has someone this behavior on their phones? Maybe is normal, but in my old S2 the vibration was constant form the beginning. Thanks!
L.E. : At least answer me please if your phone's vibration is ok, just test it by pressing the back button once, and then press it again for about 6 times repeatedly if you have haptic feedbak enabled
Happens on my phone too. Might be that the vibration engine needs to be more precisely controlled (could be done with software, maybe).
I also have this issue which I find rather annoying when pressing the back button quickly.

It's completely normal. The vibration is sort of a spinning disc and it needs about half a second to spin up to high speed. When you trigger short vibrations repeatedly it doesn't stop completely between each tap and the vibration feels stronger.

Thank you, this now makes sense.

The same here!
It's normal!
It is normal for Xperia Z maybe, but I haven't seen a phone that does same (Xperia U,J, Samsung S2,S3,Note2, HTC Sensation, Iphone 4,5, S3 Mini, even Allview etc.) , feels like a cheap phone vibration in my opinion. If I type on my keyboard, and I type really quick, the phone is continuous vibrating, that sucks in my opinion, where is the haptic feedback in this?
P.S. thank you all for answering, I thought that my phone had a hardware problem.
Try changing the vibration intensity in the keyboard settings, worked for me

Thread revival. I am experiencing the exact same thing on my Z Ultra. It feels really awkward to my Note 2. Not sure if it really is 'normal', just bad implementation.
It is normal. I ve tested it on several Sony Z . I ve even changed the vibrator in one of them and it is the same thing. That is how the module works.

i wanted to say this but you did it before i do:laugh:
This is 100% true
I discoverd this when i Smashed a ps2 controller
After fixing the vibration problem now I this issue appears
Can it be fixed by replacing the vibration motor?
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.

vibration very weak here: if in pocket or on any surface I can hardly feel it
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.
Hi,
for a few weeks now, I'm experiencing the Pixel 5's vibration and haptic feedback being a lot weaker than before.
Because of this I have missed calls and can't really use the phone on silent mode which I usually have always on. I tested it by having my gf call me and I could confirm that the phone barely even vibrates. Nothing you could sense with the phone in your pocket.
Also the typing experience suffers due to basically no haptic feedback at all.
Of course I checked my settings, and I have Vibration and haptic feedback on max as always. Also a few times rebooting didn't fix my problem.
I was hoping that April's update would improve the situation, but got also disappointed there.
It's really annoying that such a basic functionality just stops working, I'm desperate at this point and consider to send my Pixel in if there's no correction in the near future
