Whistle noise when phone vibrates? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I just got my Nexus 5 today and ive noticed when in a quiet room, if im texting, or anything else that makes the phones vibrate via key press, it makes like a whistle kind of sound from the vibrates motor. It seems kind of weird. Anyone else notice this or could it be a flaw with my phone? I know theres other threads about the faulty vibration phones being shipped out but haven't read anything about this noise I hear.

U sure u didn't fart?

If I did Id say thats some skills to be able to fart every time I hit a letter on the keyboard when texting. If that was the case I think id need to get myself checked out, not the phone :silly:

I have the same problem. I assumed this was the "vibration defect" I've seen people talk about.
I haven't felt like getting a replacement and honestly I kind of prefer my keyboard without vibration now that I've been using it like that...

Ok at least im not alone :highfive: It doesnt bother me much, I just wasn't sure if it was normal or not. All the other threads I read about the defects with vibration didn't match up. I'm not going to worry about it just yet :silly:

Making my HD2 vibrate harder

is it any kind of way to make the phone vibrate harder than it does?
What are you planning on using it for?
im not a ring tone kinda guy so i keep my phone on vibrate...me personally it doesn't vibrate hard enough for me and sometimes i miss my text msgs and phone calls...i took it to a t-mobile store and they told me thats as hard as it could vibrate and it was nothing wrong with it
"missing text msgs" sure.......................
if u want it to vibrate harder for another reason just say so.

Ha Ha, thats comedy! You beat me to it!
i c yall got jokes on here...boi i get mo butts than ashtrays...but all bull**** aside is it possible?
Longer maybe, harder no.
The difference between software and tweaking vs hardware.
The little motor can only spin as fast as it was designed to.
There are some other sites on the intertubes that cater to your needs
Actually most consider the vibration is too vigorous.
Is it Your girlfriend forcing You to aks for this ?
LOLzzz
Bro use G-Profile to set reminders. If you miss phonecall or message it will remind you about this with vibration that frequently as you wish.
there is an app called Vibro v11 use google
hahahahah
This is just tooooo funnnnny!!!

Too true. I had mine sitting on my table top & couldn't even hear it vibrating there!!! My old Samsung Epix would rattle the **** out of itself on a table top when it vibrated. My HD2 just doesn't have that good vibrate, but with how sick this phone is, I think I can overlook it for now.

Captivate Beeping?

At random times my phone tends to lock up for like half a second and make an internal beep noise. Does anyone know what this is?
click or beep?
i had a widget clicking on me, NoLoc, if i didnt turn off lock screen myself at boot it would click every hour or so to "re-disable" locking screen. widget still worked, just clicked.
i guess if all else fails. go to stock, see if it still happens.

beeping. you know how when you turn on a PC and you get a beep from the mobo? something like that. tried to go stock already but it won't fix it. might try again, but i'm more curious to see if anyone else has encountered this?
I have that sometimes where the vibrate lags a little, lasts a bit longer, and makes a whining sort if noise.
Happens mostly when Swype is thinking too hard.

Okay well sounds other people experiencing but no serious issued cause because of it. Lets hope it stays that way!

[Q] [NS4G] Buzzing/Static Sound During Calls

Just got just Nexus S 4G today, and have experienced during all calls a staticy buzzing sound when the person in the other end is speaking. The best way to explain it is , it sounds as if there is gain on their voices are the louder points.
I so don't want to exchange, but curious if any One else has seen this.. or heard this.
I'm going to mess with voodoo sound tomorrow to see if it helps any. I'm rooted with netarch's kernel, but it was happening before this.
Thanks!

I'm on the European Version of the Nexus S - I9023 and I'm getting that too... I want to think that it's not the phone itself but I don't know... This buzzing only happens if the volume is over 50% and sometimes even at lower volume levels...
Does anybody know what this might be? Is it a software issue where, for example, the pitch on the calls is to loud and maybe te Voodoo sound would fix it, or is it definitely a hardware issue?

I spoke today with a guy that fixes phones for a living and he told me that the issue is the filter from the earpiece. The phone might've suffered a bump at the store when the people there handled it and that messed with the filter. He said that I can take it to the Samsung service to get it fixed or I can leave it like this... He said it doesn't get worst in time if the issue doesn't get resolved...

Wuddup Freshly? I haven't seen you since back in the day on the Cyanogenmod MT3G forums.
Anyways, I think the problem he is referring to is when you go to hang up, the screen just stays black (g-sensor not working correctly) instead of the screen lighting up to hit end. I've seen the screen light up but not respond when taking the phone away from your ear also. Let's hope these bugs get taken care of very soon with an OTA, along with many others.
An unlocked BL would be better so I can fix these little problems myself but I'm not holding my breath to receive it soon.

Does VoLTE need to be on for this to work? My calls still sound the same.

Yes I believe it's VoLTE that T-Mobile has been able to improve.

quality seems just a bit better.
What i do know is i can now get 4g and more bars in my house, vs my other phones.
So which update was it that enabled this?
i havent done any updates, still dreaming for root; and no i dont notice any better call quality, i think its a load of snake oil, or placebo effect

This is going to sound kind of dumb, but make sure your pinky finger is not covering the microphone on the bottom. I've had people tell me they have this exact problem with the Galaxy S5 only to discover that the user is holding the phone in a manner that places the pinky finger over the microphone. T-Mobile support sent one user FIVE different phones. Same problem each time (the receiver can't hear anything but the caller can hear the receiver fine). I overhear the user complaining about "Crappy T-Mobile" and ask him to call me while I'm watching him. Sure enough, I can't hear him. I reach over, move his pinky finger, and the call is perfect.
With this new gen voice calls are dreadful. Quality is horrible I can bearly here the other person sometimes. Depending on the area but still I turned VoLTE off.

Thats pretty funny. I found that its my line of service as the problem. Sometimes there is a 5-7 sec delay when talking also. Thank u for the reply tho.

i guess this is what HD call means? Anyway i noticed no difference. Also I see no reason for so much hate maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. In my opinion i also think it's a gimmick and YES i did update.
