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

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.
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?
When in vibrate mode, I can't feel any notification !
The phone does vibrate but the vibration is so slight I can't barely even hear it when the phone is close to me on the table.
When the phone is in my pants pocket or on a soft surface, I cant feel a thing at all.
Has anyone experienced this yet?
Thanks.
I can say what your describing is the exact issue I had with my OnePlus 5 and installed EX Kennel to bump the vibration strength but want by much unfortunately.
I have my OnePlus 6 in the OnePlus sandstone case and it cause the vibration much easier to hear sure to a slight restore but not annoying at all. I agree though in my pocket I barely hear it and certainly can't feel it.
Do you mean, it's normal and inherent to OnePlus to have very faint unfeelable vibration?
yeah the vibration on this phone is pretty crappy. They defiantly used cheap parts. One of my cons of this device.

You can adjust vibration intensity for calls and notifications in the sounds menu
Actually it's not cheap parts, it's small parts. The vibrator seems to be very small (see iFixit) probably to make room for other things (which I approve )
That was the first thing I tried.
Before posting this thread.
Yep I'm in the same boat. The awful weak vibration on this phone really sucks. I hope it can be at least slightly improved in software...
unfortunately history shows it's not possible to mend it. Since OPO they couldn't manage a proper motor on any OP phones as I read. The saga continues. (I had OPO, this was my biggest issue at the time, now same with OP6)
so does everyone just keep the ringtones on?
It's a real shame - you don't notice how important it is until it's gone... I'm still holding out hope for a way to change the pattern - if it went a bit longer for notifications I might notice it but the two weak little buzzes aren't doing much. Any ideas?
i sit on my bed the phone stays besides me...maybe only 3 inch away from me.. notice only 3 inch and still I can't feel it or hear it.. it's not possible to always keep the phone in ring mode.. tried ex kernel to increase..it slightly improved but not that much to be felt... it's a shame..and i think I'll have to change this phone for only this reason..this is a pretty great phone but this little thing makes a world of a difference for me
---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------
it's not quite possible...i had a 5t with same problem.. tried blu spark kernel and it improved to feel at least but with this op6 it's not possible because i tried ex kernel and same sh*t vibration
I've been consistently missing texts due to this. Is there a kernel fix anyone has? I'm thinking of installing one. CleanSlate looks good, but I don't think it does vibration intensity. Darn shame.
Looks like that's what it is.
Maybe we can ask Oneplus support to consider it for some next update?
I had the same issue with my OP5T. Could only feel light vibration and nothing when in pocket. Now the situation is even worse. My phone doesn't vibrate at all in Vibrate mode and I don't find any options to customize it.
Yeah, it sucks. Even coming from an old phone like the 6s Plus, the motor was a huge downgrade.
I was surprised to see that there isn't an option for making your own vibration patterns like iOS does.
Strange because it's usually iOS that abstains cool features.
Maybe some dev can build a magsik module that checks the proximity sensor and if triggered (like the pocket mode), it vibrates way longer, like 70ms.
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.
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.
