I'm pretty dissapointed by the weak vibration motor in the phone.
It feels like they put a really cheap one in sadly
It's stronger than my old phone (Huawei Mate 10), although that one was super weak.
Not sure if it's just weak but the placement.. On a table I hear the vibrations fine but when its in my hand typing, its as if the vibration is non-existent. Also may want to try turning up vibration intensity, i felt it helped a tad bit
You are talking about haptics...I do not use them...they serve no purpose...but as a vibration motor for notifications it is only a step down from my old Moto X Pure (those were the days of great customizable phones) that had a vibration motor thatwould knock the fillings out of your teeth. I think the FE has a very good vibration motor.

[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
I know OnePlus isn't known for it's vibration motor but how is vibration feedback for everyone? I'm having some issues with the vibration on the device. Aside from just being weak in general compared to my Nexus 6P, it seems that when I get to 20ms or below vibration there is a small rattle that is somewhat of an annoyance. Has anyone noticed the same?
yes i noticed that too, but im not big fan of vibration so it's already off
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).
Hi! I'm aware that the rog phone 2 has actually two vibration motors. Since I have it I couldn't really tell if there actually was one or two motors, as the vibration allways seems to come from the bottom, so I made a test with Asphalt 9 (the game they use to advertise the vibration system and came preinstalled) and actually felt the two vibration motors working separately.
I know by the "Jerry rig everything" video that the top motor is smaller than the bottom one, and during my test I muted the sound and noticed that the top motor makes a not so pleasant sound, I even could say it is painful to hear and noticeably loud, it is almost like an electric noise. My question is, can this be considered normal? Can anyone relate to this with their own device? Thanks!
