Just bought my Nexus yesterday. I have immediately noticed that any time the phone is giving haptic feedback it is audible and quite loud. It almost sounds like there is something loose. Has anyone else experienced this and should I exchange it for a new one?

Many threads have covered this topic. 4.4.2 has increased vibration strength as well.
I have the vibrate set to "strong" but I'm noticing it's very weak. Almost too weak to notice, does anyone else agree?
I have mine on strong as well and it's not that strong. Don't want to know what weak feels like.
Lol. It vibrates? I must have missed that.

It works fine for me. If I was playing basketball or something, I think the sound alert would be best. But for a meeting, I have it on weak and its ok. I guess I'm more sensitive. The strong in a meeting, other people can hear the buzz.
I just got a Neo, and i agree that vibration is very weak.
I came from a Pebble kickstarter edition, and that vibrated a lot stronger.
On the Neo, i often miss messages because of the weak vibrations...never happened on the Pebble.
Gear 2, weak vibrate here too. I never tried the 1st gen Galaxy Gear so I can't compare the two. But I'm definitely disappointed. The biggest driver for me getting the Gear 2 was because I miss phone calls and other notifications a lot when my phone is in my pocket, I was hoping this was the answer but so far it hasn't been. Making the band snug helps some. I wonder if the people who have swapped to a metal band have noticed any improvement with the vibration?
Can't have vibration and sound at the same time?

+1 that was also my reason for getting the watch - missing notifications. (That and I can answer the phone on it, so cant do pebble) Lets hope on the next software push they have a "super strong" because what they call strong, if I am moving around, cant be felt. Maybe an option for vibration patterns might help too. Like if it would buzz me longer or more times that would be better at least.
having same problem
Gear 1 vibration was way stronger!

Yep, very disappointing. I have the Neo and I sometimes won't even feel it if I'm moving around.

Same here, came from a pebble, have my phone on silent and my watch too, depend on the vibration to notify me of missed calls or texts during meetings, sometimes cant feel a thing, hoping with time some dev finds a way of increasing strength or length of vibrate
See, to me, the vibration is perfect! I was using a ZWatch for a while and that thing sounded like an industrial vibration unit was strapped to my arm. My boss always knew when something came in, so I typically didn't bother with the vibration feature except for wake-up alarms.
With this, I get two very quick buzzes and it's silent. I've set it so the notification doesn't force the display to turn on so I can be more discreet in seeing my notifications.
I see nothing wrong with the vibration.
However, if others require more, then hopefully there's something that can be done to address it.
Hmm.. so the Gear 2 have loud shutter button but weak vibration.

Agreed! Gear 1 was much stronger. I dont think I even used it on its strongest setting it worked much better.
I miss the buzz on my Gear 2 anytime I'm moving around alot, and a lot of the time when Im driving.
Then the fun of the phantom buzz has begun. Im paying more attention looking for that faint buzz that I keep checking it for notifications to find there aren't any. Just like when you have your phone on vibrate and you THINK you felt it. ugh. (Biggest complaint about the watch.)
When I first got my Gear2 I noticed the vibrate anytime it went, but now I hardly notice it and often miss it I made sure mine is set to strong too.
When i was going through the initial setup, I'm not even sure why but the watch vibrated and it was VERY strong.... now "strong" feels like 10% of the vibration I initially felt.
Very disappointed with that, and the pedometer... I swear I sat around the house eating junk food all day and i'm nearing 4500 steps.....
I just went and got a gear 2 since my gear one broke and i have to say the vibration on this thing is much much weaker, the speaker on the other hand is much louder.
Hi Everyone!
I'm mostly a lurker around here so sorry to barge in with a question, but I didn't see any threads on it.
I just received my S6 a few days ago (T-mobile variant). Got the latest update, factory reset it. Lately I've been having some issues with the haptic feedback and vibration when typing or receiving notifications. The haptic feedback when typing will suddenly be really unnoticeable or completely gone. I checked my settings in both keyboard settings and the Vibration settings under notifications and made sure I didn't accidentally lower the intensity. When I adjust the sliders, I can tell that the vibration is considerably less stronger than before.
It keeps fixing itself and then going back to not having any vibrations.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm wondering if I should exchange my phone for another. It's still within the 14 day window. I'm worried I'll get a worse one since my screen is perfect, the persistent flash is almost nonexistent and the buttons have very little wiggle.
Thank you
No one else has this issue? I guess I'll make a stop by T-Mobile later this week.

The T-Mobile attendant thought I was nuts LOL. But I could definitely feel the difference. I am hoping it's a software issue since they might not let me exchange the phone despite it being under the 14 days. Have you experienced it again?
Hi. I was hoping someone may have an answer to this. I have had a P20 Pro since July and for the past little while I have noticed that the vibration motor, haptic feedback for typing, will have normal strength and then once or twice a day it will lose power and feel weaker than it does when it is functioning normally. Has anyone else noticed this when typing throughout the day? Do the vibrations become weaker sometimes when typing on the P20 Pro? Thanks.
From my experience. Haptic feedback for typing and touching screen is one of the first things people turn off after getting new phone. Not sure if you will get many answers. Regards
Could you please confirm opinion that vibration haptic feedback in OnePlus 7 Pro is so weak?
OnePlus promised after user's previous models complaint that they put better vibration motor in new OnePlus and it will finally be stronger.
I'm OnePlus 6 user. I love this phone, it's super fast smooth but I have vibration haptic feedback. I have fast phone but every day I miss a lot of notifications and calls because I don't feel vibration when I have phone in my pocket! This is annoying, annoying every day!
Is here somebody who had OnePlus 6 and could compare vibrations in these two models?
Thank you!
Mine is very strong. At least double the strength of the OP6 I had. I also installed EX Kernel and it's even stronger still since the kernel has a setting to max out the vibration strength. (only go to 50-60% on the kernel vibration or you will get rattling in the phone during vibration.
