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?

I have i727r. When I got the phone the vibration for phone calls and notifications was pretty weak. It may just be me but it seems like its gotten even weaker since then. I often won't even feel it vibrating in my pocket. Is this everyones experience or did I get a dud that I should send in?
you can change the vibration intensity

Hit the thanks button by mistake. Oh well, guess I popped ur thanks cherry lol. Change intensity yes, but if it was weak to begin with it may be faulty, I highly suggest a warranty return
Ya I know I have it turned up all the way for both calls and notifications. But thanks for the suggestion. Strangely haptic feedback seems to feel stronger than call vibration. For a warranty return do you think they'll give me a new phone then and there or send it in for repairs?

Haptic feedback vibrations are strong? Can I make a suggestion and have u flash my efs fix from here?:

It may help, but I guarantee it won't hurt
From the day I got the phone, I always thought the vibration was pretty weak too. I always crank up the intensity in settings but it's still pretty soft. Haven't noticed any difference across various ROMs. I guess it's just a tradeoff between being able to really feel the vibrate but it being loud (like my old Blackjack) and making it a quieter vibrate but it being weak. Still bugs me a bit tho.

T989 has strong vibrations, but when I install an i727 kernel, it has weak vibrations, so yes, it is a bit soft, but I think you can overcrank the haptic feedback seetings in framework, so it has strong vibrations...
Speed is nothing more than just a word... a judgment ...

I figured there's gotta be a way. Would that increase the notification vibrate too though?

You would just need to re-try until you get right settings.
Good day guys ,
I've been reading around post and post regarding the vibration issues with the S2.
Now , I have transformed a SHW-M250S into a GT I9100 which from what I understand is the reason for loosing the vibration strength.
Unfortunately i couldn't find a specific post directly related to this issue , only hints every here and there , some regarding playing around with the vibrator file in the sys. folder , but i don't know if this were device specific or not.
My device is rooted and i'm running 2.3.5.
Is there anyone who managed to get a fix for this ? i.e. flashing a different Kernel , etc. ?
Thank you for your time !
I've also noticed the vibration has gotten weaker in the year I've had the phone now. I remember it being really strong, especially before I got a case protector (rubberized on the inside of the case)... Could be my fault though because I fried the charging port and installed a new part.
It seems now i hear the vibration more than I feel it, even when turned on maximum.
So I moved from a Nexus 4 to Nexus 5! I must say that I love this phone already. However, I have noticed that the vibration feedback from typing is so incredibly loud, especially compared to my Nexus 4. I feel like when I'm typing that everyone around me can hear each key-press. Now I know I can turn it off, but I really like the feedback when typing. But man is it loud. Seems I'm gonna have to resort to a custom rom to turn down the vibration level eventually.
Anyone else notice this?
Yeah mine is the same UK White 16GB.
A friend has recently got a UK Black 32GB (I think), and his is perfectly fine, vibration is quiet as you would expect.
I am probably going to return mine to CPW and get a new one, but I will check that one over before leaving the store. I think the current know defects are the vibration motor, screen backlight bleed, dead pixels and loose power button. My N5 only has the vibration issue, everything else is perfect.
For now I have gone in to advanced settings on the Google Keyboard and changed the Vibration Duration to 5ms. This gives enough feedback but makes the volume less audible unless you are typing very fast.
U can turn it down

Ah, so it means mine is defective? Is this something Google would take and RMA for? That's a shame.. Everything else is great on mine
I actually have the opposite problem. The vibration on my N5 is almost _too_ weak. I'll have to test to see if I'd even notice it when it's in my pocket and I get a call (yes, I know, there are many jokes possible right there). The vibration on my N4 is actually harsh like described in the OP.
Checkout the Nexus 5 Defects thread in the General section. Other people, including me, have the exact same issue with the vibration. Trying to RMA it now . . .
Just exchanged my white Nexus 5 for a black as I much prefer the soft touch coating. The new unit has a quieter vibrate motor It still has the similar sound if you listen close but it's nowhere near as loud as the white one I had

Hi, I bought the OnePlus One 2wks ago via aliexpress. So far I absolutely love this phone especially for the price.
So my problem is when I first received the phone the vibration feedback when pressing the back/home buttons and keyboard feedback were really great a solid little buzz that gave the phone a quality feel about it much like the HTC. Since the last update XNPH25R (which may just be coincidence) the vibration has become stronger and an audible buzz is now heard from the phone. My question is has anyone else had this problem and would be a hardware and or software problem. Personally I'm thinking its a hardware problem as I tried flashing the original rom prior to the last update and still had the same problem.
Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly welcomed.
Same Issue Here

I'm having the same issue with the vibration/haptic feedback being almost a sound as much as a vibration. i just got mine Saturday and updated right away.
Yes. I am not happy with the vibration quality on the device. It feels like it's more loose and rattles. It's more annoying than the yellow tinting on the bottom of my screen.

Yes I agree it gives the impression something has come loose. What's more annoying for me is that is was not like that out of the box. I don't notice any yellow tinge on my screen. Other than that for $400 I do still like this phone.

So is the consensus that the "tingy" vibration feedback started when the latest update was applied? Has anyone tried another rom (I.e. Mahdi, CM nightlies)? My One+ will be here next week and really do not like tingy vibe motors! If it is hardware related I will turn off all vibration feedback.
I just got this phone yesterday and I notice the same rattle when I touch the capacitive buttons. It doesn't matter how strong or weak I make the vibration, it is still pretty loud.
The is a setting where you can turn the vibration down. It's set to 100 by default which I find to be to high.
Hey guys
So I got my Note 10+ (SM-N975W), upgraded from the S8+ (SM-G955W). I'm seeing some issues with vibration parity between the two phones. I'm not a fan of change in general, so I'm hoping I'm just not seeing the settings.
When using the side rocker to go between silent/vibrate/ring, going to vibrate on the S8+ gave a strong full second vibration. On the Note 10+ it's a pretty weak 2-3 pulses.
When receiving a message on Facebook messenger on the S8+, it's always been a strong double half second pulse (think heart beat vibration almost). On the Note 10+ it's a quick and weak vibration. I barely ever notice when I get messages now because it's so weak and quick.
I have both my phones side by side, I've gone into the vibration settings (settings > sounds and vibration) and matched everything up. For whatever reason I can't get it to the same vibrations as my S8+.
Is this common when going from one phone to another that the vibrations wont match? I'd understand from one brand to another but I"m going from the S8+ to the Note 10+, both Samsung.
Hoping someone can help me out.
Thanks.
Did you ever find a fix? I've been searching for the same answer as well.

Nope....Ireally dislike how it's different... But it is what it is.
Hello everyone,
Posting after searching everywhere to no avail, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I bought a Galaxy A53 as a Christmas gift to my gf. Bought it on Black Friday and gifted it on Christmas so I'm out of the return window and only the warranty remains. It's running One UI 5 and everything works fine, but I'm having issues with the vibration motor. I'm not sure if it's normal behaviour though and that's why I need your help.
If I turn on the haptic feedback on Google keyboard and leave it on default, there's no vibration at all. Only when I up it to about half of the bar I start to feel it vibrating.
Also, my girlfriend plays Beatstar and when the screen is touched, there should be a vibration (you need to turn it on in the settings of the game). There's no vibration at all.
System vibration is turned on in the phone settings in case you're wondering.
Given that I don't want to send it in for repairs for something that could be normal behaviour, I was wondering if any of you guys could test one or the other (or both) and please let me know if you've got the same behaviour?
Thank you!
Hello.
The vibration motor is just really bad quality. There is nothing to do to fix it, is just bad.
