Has anyone else noticed that it is extremely weak?
Compared to my S9+ I can't even feel it in my pocket.

vibration intensity is all over the place stock. From the haptic feedback on keypress to notifications, they ranged from barely noticeable to being able to feel it 3 houses down when im typing stuff. I went and adjusted them several times until i got it to where it feels exactly like the S9 i came from to this phone.

I think it's much worse than my s9+. Specifically when getting notifications in my pocket.

Too weak

Does anyone think the vibration feature is a little loose/rough? I am coming from an iPhone 5 so I am not sure what to expect. It is almost as if rattles but the case and buttons seem rock solid.
Mine is loud. Almost more of a rattle than a vibration.

Same, only thing that feels cheap...maybe the power and volume buttons too.

Me too. It's pretty annoying. I had a razr hd when it was released and it never made this noise. I was given a refurbished razr hd and sure enough, it's vibration (more like rattle) sounds just like the vibration the Moto X makes. Two more replacement razr hds and they both had the same weird rattle. I'm wondering if they changed the vibrate component in the razr hd and are using the same one in the Moto X.
Mine to. I've got haptic feedback turned off, and reduced the intensity for the keyboard. Only thing left is the vibration for the active notifications but there doesn't seem to be a setting for it. I'm going to be ordering a replacement for other reasons, hopefully the motor will be a little weaker on the new one.
The vibration is indeed pretty harsh and bad.

I have both the Droid Mini and the X and strangely the Mini doesn't do the annoying vibrate stuff with active notifications. Hopefully they will get rid of it from the X too.

I've owned the iPhone 5, I think its vibration is a little rough.. It was bad on my RAZR M as well, I love my Galaxy Nexus' vibrate.
Maybe we should consider the Mini....?

Isn't a rough vibration better than a smooth one? Your body is more likely to detect harsh vibrations that startle you as opposed to smooth continuous ones that feel like a tickle. Previous phones I have had (N4, Gnex, SGS2), the vibrations are too soft to grab my attention, especially when in the jeans pocket. MotoX is probably the first one that doesn't seem weak.
I have no issues with feeling the GalNex vibrate, but I mean... I see your logic.

I've got to agree. On my S4, I miss almost every call due to the vibration being too soft. I remember one of the first thoughts I had when using the X was how cheap the vibration feels. After having it a few days, it's really grown on me though- it feels more substantial. This could be genius or pure accident, but to me it sounds like the "plastic on plastic" sound physical phone keyboards used to make.
On the flipside (literally?), when the phone is on a desk and it vibrates - its basically an 8 on the Richter scale...lol
Wonder if we can side load the mini`s apk and it will not have the vibrate then. Could anyone post it?

Definitely one of the first things I noticed on mine was the rattling. Very disappointed as its probably the only thing I don't like so far. Couldn't it be remedied by a kernel update or something that controls vibration strength?
So this rattling vibration is actually normal? I just got my Moto X and it's the first thing I noticed. I was about to call Sprint and exchange it but if this is normal, I guess there's no point.

I just purchased a black Moto X from at&t yesterday. Same exact vibration as described by multiple people in this thread.
Coming from a Samsung it is very disturbing, but I am sure I will get used to it. Planned on doing an exchange until I saw this thread. No other complaints about the phone other than this.
I like a smooth sounding / feeling vibration like the Samsung. This one just sounds rough, but is much more intense than Samsung.
Anybody else just get a newer one and notice this?
you guys have to remember that the vibration motor is the only moving part (well, besides the camera shutter) in the entire phone. it's literally a weighted piece of metal that rotates, to give the sensation of vibration. frankly i'm glad it can be felt at all, given the size and weight of the motor itself. older devices that had tons of room could vibrate off of your table and on to the floor (think pagers).
really, as long as it's audible and i can feel it in my pocket, i'm just happy it vibrates.
I can't stand the haptic feedback on this phone especially in a quiet room. The vibration is more like a rattle and it doesn't matter how I set it. Is there a mod to turn off ALL haptic feedback? Any one else have issues with a rattle near the top of the phone with haptic feedback on? I almost want to go back to my note II.
You mean the rattly vibration on the keyboard?
I did on my weave black moto x. But I just got my motomaker one and it doesn't rattle like my other one. Its much better

My only complaint about the phone. I have vibration disabled across the board but it still vibrates when unlocking through active notifications and it annoys the crap out of me. I've gotten used to it, but I wish I didn't have to. I have a launch day motomaker 32gb. My Nexus 5 has awesome haptic feedback, completely silent but strong enough to feel it when you need to. I wish that's how the X was.

You must have gotten lucky with your N5. Most people have a problem with the vibration motor. But yeah, I know what you mean by that. The N4 was the same way. As well as most other LG phones.

I got real lucky with it, not a single defect that other people complain about. No dead pixels, literally zero light bleed, tight buttons, pretty good battery life, and awesome vibration. I never get perfect phones, they always have some sort of annoying defect. It's nice for a change lol
My haptic is rattly as well. I don't think it is a defect, just a different implementation from what I am used to. I am coming from a GS3 and the haptic was much more subtle. I wish it could be changed, but I'm dealing with it ok.

Yeah, since they released the new revision of the N5(bigger speaker holes and fixed buttons), I think I might just buy one.

Mine was a launch N5 so when I say I got lucky, I mean LUCKY haha. But the new ones supposedly mitigate some of the problems like you said. Go for it, it's a great phone and a great value.
I too hate the haptic feedback on this phone, I have it turned off all the time, but as we all know you can't turn it off from active notification.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Some phones are better than others. Had 1 moto x with horrible rattling, the other 3 i've had are acceptable. The moto x itself doesn't have the best of vibration motors. Can always replace if you cant stand yours, maybe you'll have more luck.
I have to wonder if they just have the vibration timers set weird in software. I use Swype with haptic feedback turned on, and since it lets you adjust the timing of the vibration, it gives some room to play with things. I set mine to 15ms and it's not bad.
The default vibration modes do suck... I totally agree that it's a little "rattly".
I'm running a 32GB MotoMaker VZW phone from the CyberMonday run.
My haptic feedback rattly as will, that is only compliance I have with the phone

I've got a minor rattle on mine. If I squeeze the top of the phone together, near the headphone jack, it goes away.
Something is clearly loose in there.
My original that I had from the VZW store rattled badly. My Dev edition is quiet and soft like my MAXX

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've gone ahead and RMA'd the phone. I'll keep the thread updated. Ugh, going from a Moto X DE to a Note II is a challenge.
Do you guys hear it rattle if you tap on the back towards the top. Also will do it if I sit it down with the top touching first.

I'm really starting to question some of the design choices Samsung made on the Note 4 when it comes to usability. Specs don't mean anything if it's not a functional phone.
Even on the highest level of Vibration intensity, the Note 4's vibration is *extremely* weak.
Now, I may be biased as I see vibration as one of the basic functions of a device and the Note 4 would be very hard to notice under ANY circumstances. I'd be willing to bet most people would be hard pressed to notice it in their pocket for any type of notification, including phone calls.
Has any one else noticed this?

Samsung is horrible when it comes to vibration strength. I think HTC hits it on spot with every phone they turn out. This issue has been one of my biggest on all Samsung phones and I have had them all. I work in a loud areas all the time and people get upset when I don't respond to text or emails. With the Note 4, I sure hope it's no worse than the past phones. I'll have mine Note come Friday.
Enjoy your new toy lol!!!
The note 2 's vibration shakes my whole desk at work and it's extremely loud. I hope it's turned down from the note 2. I do have my gear neo to get notifications from my phone though.

I had the Note 2 as well and it was the same case of low vibration. Depending on what type of case you have on the phone and what type of table/desk it's laying on, then yeah it does just fine I agree, but In the pocket it really sucks.
I guess it all depends on personal preference. Even with that aside, I don't see any issue with the vibration intensity with the N4. If you can't feel that in your pocket then Maybe I'll pick pocket you. j/k
Keep in mind the thinness of the phone. Why waste any more space on a vibrator?
To me it's plentiful. It's fine.

Ok so now we have seen that there is a N910T3 out in the wild which comes with 5.1.1 out of the box.
Does anyone know the differences? Has anyone taken the time to compare anything?
I have heard that the GPS chip is different? Does anyone know if the GPS is the same or not?
Lastly, who ever has had both models do they notice any differences? Notice any bugs or issues with the T3?
I am currently dealing with some issues with the T3. Some people have told me they have experienced tons of issues and some have reported zero issues.
I'm trying weigh out my options. I am considering going back to a N910T but I would like to make an informed decision before doing that.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
One thing i did notice is that the T3 doesn't have that gap on the sides of the screen like the original model does.
I'm assuming that the T3 model is gonna be the one that gets the future updates though.
One problem I do have is that when an app crashes (and this happened when i wasnt rooted) is that an app would crash, and I would get a series of Haptic feedback on max vibration intensity like vibrations. It would vibrate once, pause and then vibrate 3 times really hard and I don't know why it does that.

It's the same behavior as on previous phones : it works only with incoming notification that turn on the screen ! So if it's not the case for your notification to wake up the screen, edge lightning won't work.
