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 anyone else getting a very slight "processing-type" sound when on phone calls? It's hardly enough to notice and I only hear it when the other person and I are completely silent, but it's there. I was just wondering if it's only my phone or all of them. It's not really loud enough to complain about, just asking out of curiosity.
What does a processing-type sound, sound like?
Like your computer when it is processing something, or maybe when the hard drive is being read, though not as loud as either of those obviously since it's so small. It's hard to explain, but if you listen closely when no one is talking but a phone call is in progress, you should hear it.
Hard drives make clicking sounds.
The disks also make a slight "whirring" noise which is more of what I was referring to.
EDIT: I listened to it again and this doesn't really accurately describe it. It's very hard for me to explain and as I said it's so quiet that it's really a non-issue, just a curiosity I guess. If anyone else happens to notice it at some point, let me know, if not then no worries.
Ahhh. See now we are getting somewhere. I know what you're referring to. That's interference you're hearing most likely. Remember back when if you put your old GSM phone near some speakers you'd occasionally hear weird sounds kinda like a chirping and buzzing etc? You still get that nowadays but its not as profound. Its just a small whining sound. As long as you have a speaker and you have something emitting radiowaves near it, you will have speaker feedback
Oh I know that sound. If I put my phone near my speaker after sending a text or anything it does that. I would say it could possibly be a very quiet version of this, but to me it sounds like the sound is coming from the phone itself and not the speaker, but only when on a phone call. I'm not sure about that though and you may be right about it just being some sort of interference - could be that it's just fooling my ears into thinking it's not coming from the speaker since it doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the call.
I mean nothing else on the phone actually makes noise, aside from the small click that the power and volume keys make. You don't hear electricity or data moving through memory or the cpu etc...
When you select the ring tones and notifications they are so much louder in settings than when actually recieving a call or notification. What's with that? We have these great front facing speakers but sometimes I miss calls and notifications because it's just not loud enough.
Can this be fixed? Sony will have to provide a firmware update or something.
I have noticed this also. I have all the volume settings at max. When compared to my old Nexus 5, the Z3C is a fair bit lower. I really noticed it using Google Navigation in the car. With the N5, I could here the voice prompts loud and clear. With the Z3C, my friend kept saying, I can't hear her, turn it up. It was up all the way.
Maybe compact phone means compact sound as well. :silly:
I find that the "Xperia" ones are much louder than any notifications you might load yourself
yes i can confirm that, when you listening those ringtones are louder than during incoming call or notifications
My phone was in my shorts pocket, I was walking around the lake in my local park. Son got some pebbles stuck in his shoes, I bent over, took his shoes off, put his shoes back on. Kept walking.. Took phone out later to take a picture and the rear panel has a diagonal crack from the lens to half way up the right hand side.
I think it is reasonable to assume you can carry your phone in your shorts pocket whilst walking, bend over and not expect the phone to break. I have contacted Sony Mobile and will return, as soon as possible. I do love the phone, so hope it is replaced under warranty. I will have to be even more conscious of being precious with it when I get it back..
[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 have an XT1053 Dev Edition and it has a very noisy vibrate function. I've read that this is common on these phones, but I haven't found any solutions yet. I just had my phone apart when replacing the rear facing camera and the battery cover (success on the camera fix!), and I had a chance to check out the vibrator motor. The shaft of the motor has a lot of vertical play, enough that I could move it in and out with my screw driver, and it would make a click sound as it hit a stop on either end of the motion. There didn't seem to be any side-to-side play so I don't think the motor is going bad. I believe it's just this vertical play that causes all the noise. This is really annoying because my friends cheapo LG has a nice quiet, rubbery feeling vibrate, where my Moto X sounds like a kids noisemaker out of a 25 cent gumball machine.
Has anyone found a solution for this? I've tweaked the vibrate intensity for certain functions, which helps for tactile feedback. But it still sounds bad, and on silent I can't turn the vibrate intensity down or else I won't feel it. I'd go as far as replacing the vibrate motor if it would silence the rattle. Although I haven't seen anywhere at all to even think about purchasing a new vibrate motor. I though maybe a dab of silicone where the shaft enters the housing? Also, did these phones do this out of the box when brand new? I got mine second hand so I don't know how loud/quiet it's supposed to be.
I havt a moto xt1050, sure their not to off from the branch, like tours mine in used, but the vibrate is nice smooth an isn't loud, on the other hand it rumbles the entire phone. Replacing could fix it, but would probably require a heat gun an some skills . I personally would examine the motor at play(watch it work an locate problem. An is the weight head moving in an out of the motor(horizontally) or up an down(vertically)? The latter would be a cause of this issue. The horizontal play is perfectly normal for a electric motor, they require some play there other wise the motor would seize an stick eventually (a lot quicker then with the play)
I'm suspecting the mounts for the motor is loose
#1; Check an see if the motor has vertical play on the board.
Can it move up an down? Should be a solid feeling, no play in either direction.
#2; Check to make sure its not something obstructing the motors weight head, or anything to close, ex.. If the cover case is to close an it rubs, it will cause a loud tick/knocking noise while it vibrates.
If none of the above helps, give me a detailed description of the noise, an possibably some pics of the motor maybe....

Please my moto x is not turning on but it keeps vibrating
Hello folks,
i purchased a Note 9 and I am getting in trouble because I cannot use the phone as i used to do before. When I have a call with someone and I use the speaker for free-speaking (or the usage of a car-mount in combination of the headphone jack connected to car while driving) the in-built noise-reductions destroys nearly every call. People cannot hear me correctly, because the noise-reduction is so hard, that it cut offs a lot of the words I speak. The result is, that people cannot understand me.
I contacted Samsung for this and they verified that this is a common thing for samsung phones, because their intelligent noise-reduction should turn out every other sound - sadly it also removes the own sound. I can only speak with speaker mode, when the phone is on my desk or in hand and there is no noise. Even when I have the phone in the sink while washing my hands (common corona-stuff) people cant here me correctly anymore due the filter of the water-noise.
Samsung has no option to turn off this "feature" and the mic works perfectly for recording audiologs or whatsapp-voice notes.
So my request now is: Is there any way to get rid of this noise-reduction-feature while in Call?
I could imagine that maybe root gives access to this function or maybe also a custom rom. Can anybody help me with this and giving me a good answer ?
