Nexus 5 - vibration intensity ? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, never owned a nexus phone previously but just ordered from play N5 - coming from S4.
Just got a quick question... Is the vibration intensity adjustable on the N5 or even LG G2 like it is on my S4?
Thanks in advance

im sure it is, and if it isnt, there should be some hack or app to fix it

I hope there is... I got rid off HTC one due to lack of this feature!

Hmmm... played around with it all night and can't find the Vibration intensity setting anywhere. There is also no settings for displaying battery percentage.
Looks like i may have been a bit spoiled with touch wiz.

Download a custom kernel that support it and install trickster on Google play to control it.
And there's a app call battery widget reborn that will show your a battery percent on the top left. This phone hasn't even been release a week yet.
Lol but no touch wiz did not spoiled you the nexus 5 support will suck you in if you like customizing your android.

For G2, yes the vibration intensity is adjustable. I'm waiting for N5 in the mail, but my N4 wasn't adjustible.

On the Nexus 5 the intensity isnt adjustable. On my Nexus 5 the vibration is really low...

the intensity is adjustable...at least for the haptic feedback when typing
I have a mushy annoying vibration when typing...especially when typing fast.
I did RMA my Phone and the new phone is allready on the way to me (still have the old one)
After i did RMA i found out that the haptic feedback is adjustable....i put it on 1ms for typing....now it is less annoying and feels kinda normal....but not as crisp as it should imho.
I will receive the new one tomorrow and will compare them......who knows how the new phone will be (dust, dead pixels).....if there is anything like that i´ll keep the old one....if i am allowed to...i heard google forces you to keep the new device....anybody knows that for sure?

Yes it is thanks to custom kernels like Franco or Faux.

vibration config on the playstore will sort you out!

It´s adjustable without custom kernel or any app...
just go to settings -->Language & Input
there you will find Google Keyboard and at the right of it there is a symbol (haven´t seen it for the first few days)
Push it and you will find an extra poined called "advanced settings"
There you can change the vibration feedback for typing

Wondering how the new one compared to the first one you bought? My vibration is also quite mushy (not crisp/sharp like my GNex nor the Moto X) and I'm wondering if I have a bad unit or if that is how the vibration was intended to be...

Vibration config didn't work

I don't think so, I did it before and I couldn't find anything, just root it. it's really easy.
by the way that APP works great.

Hi guys, is there any way I can increase vibration strength permanently by editing a file instead of using a root app? I tried doing what Vibration Config does by going into /sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/amp and changing the value from 60 to 95, which works, but on a reboot it keeps changing back. Any idea how to keep it permanent? Thanks

It changes back because the kernel sets everything back to default, which is why kernel apps have a "set on boot" option. It also requires root access to be able to modify such values.
You can:
- compile a kernel yourself and change the default
- use a kernel app to set on boot
- use tasker to change the value on boot
- change it manually every time

An init.d file can do the job also.

Yeah forgot about that halfway through writing the post, but you also need support for init.d in kernel ramdisk.

[Q] Noise Reduction/Cancellation

It seems that the tone of my voice is partially seen as background noise by most phones
To the people I'm talking to, my voice is not very clear. I had a Galaxy S3 and there was an option to disable "noise reduction" and that pretty much took care of the problem.
Does anyone know of anyway to turn this feature off on the N5?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've the same problem with my Nexus 5 ! So, i look for the same option : disable noise cancelation (Instead of using a headset !) Someone has an idea ? Do you know if the safe mode disable noise cancelation ?
Thanks,
Same issue... No good solution that I know of. Bump for visibility
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Bump. Sort of the same issue here. During a call if I hold the mic next to my mouth it works fine, but if I move it like 5 cm from it it looks to the caller like I'm 10 meters from the phone. Also, when I play back a recorded video I hear a static under the normal sound (really anoying), I think those issues are related right? Btw, on a Skypecall or soundrecorder app it works flawlessly like it should, really weird!
So anyone found a trick to disable noise cancellation yet? Or something else?
I'm also experiencing these issues, and looking forward to a solution.
As far as I know, currently it is not possible to disable the noise cancellation sw.
As a temporary fix you can try to cover up the second mic located at the top of your phone.

You can disabled noise cancelation in build.prop

I downloaded an app from the Play Store called BuildProp Editor. Just open the app and find it in the list, click on it, change the setting to false and you're done.

Use adb to pull edit and push build.prop file :good:
To edit/overwrite build.prop, /system needs to be mounted read-write, which in turn means root is required.

Just did a quick test for about 5 mins on a normal call and NOT with speakerphone on the Nexus 6P. It turns out covering the mic below the "visor" on the back with my finger gets rid of the problem completely!
I tried speaking from about 8cm away towards the phone and the receiver was able to hear me clearly with the back mic covered. Even speaking at different angles the other person was able to hear me, however the second I removed my finger from the back mic, the person said the voice became muffled.
---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------
Tried using the build prop editor on my Nexus 6P changing the value to false and rebooted the phone. The value has reverted to True since my phones not rooted, BUT I don't need to hold my finger over the back mic anymore as the receiver can hear me clearly now! Maybe that attempt somehow reset the the noise cancelling mic or did something since its fixed the muffle effect ? will update in a few days time.

Warmer color replacement

Hello,
Today I received the replacement for my N5 since it was affected by rattling side buttons. The problem is that the new one has got this damn yellow tint, it looks horrble!
Does anyone know if this is covered by warranty?

no. the yellow tint is googles opinion of how the screen should be. its only software. install a custom kernel that support gamma control then change your screen tone.

Franco used to but stopped at about r14, now phantom gamers? is continuing to add the color tweak to each of francos latest builds as an experimental option..
I contacted them, let's see what they say. (The same person I contacted previously and he was very kind)
Anyway can you link me a full guide to rooting and custom kernel for N5?

[APP][2.2+] Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster

When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).
Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.
This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!
Nice idea, but ram hungry!

Aw, is it really? Bummer. For me it was on par with my other background-type helper apps I use regularly. What device/version have you tried it on?
Very useful app. Thank you!
Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.

Great and very usefull app Thanks for sharing
I've got a problem, when someone calls me, and my phone isn't in my pocket, but I'm not using it either, the screen turns on, so the phone goes vibrate mode, I don't know if can be fixed. Great app btw.

Damn! I never actually use my phone as a phone so that never crossed my mind. I'll look into it changing it, but right now the app simply works on whether the screen is lit up or not. Thanks for the heads up!

Disabling vibration completly without root?

If you don't like my hobby, well, I can't help you there. Mate.
Where I CAN help you is with your real problem. See, I also got an used Pixel with rattling vibration. So just go thru all the settings on the phone and anywhere you see it - disable it or turn it off. This means haptic feedback, keyboard settings, ringtone settings etc. You can't disable it all at once, you just gotta go one by one. It's a 3 minute walk, you can do it.

So, holding my new U12+ in hands now, I slightly miss my HTC 10...is there any chance to disable the notification led while night time or manually without set ALL notification off? Lightflow brings not the expected result, neither does Tasker (somewhere I read that Tasker cant handle this setting with stock rom...) Can't check it because I don't want to unlock, root etc the U12+ yet for reasons.

When you want to root you will be able to do that via cleanslate or kirisakura kernel, the first one doesn't need root but I think it still means unlocking bootloader.
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs
Yeah, I think too that flashing a new kernel requires an unlocked bootloader. But I want to avoid this step yet...
So, if there's a without-root solution for my request, it would be much appreciated to get this solution.
Thanks
Stefan
