I got my Zenfone 6 two days ago and noticed that I can't feel the phone vibrating when it's in my pocket when I get calls or messages. I tried to set the vibration as strong as the settings allow to but I can't feel it in my pockets. I even tried different pants or jackets. I was wondering if someone was having the same issue or it's just my device.
Well, yes. In comparison to other phones, the vibration is not the strongest. But even for other phones, I sometimes would miss notifications when I'm not sitting somewhere.
From all of my previous phones (see My Devices) the ZF6 has the strongest and most pleasant vibration, I am very satisfied.

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

Just wondering if anyone us hearing an audible clicking noise coming from the phone when typing with vibrate on keypress switched on. For me it's every five or so key presses there is an audible click noise, as if the vibrating part hits something.it's not too loud, but loud enough to be heard. If you use a keyboard that lets you change the vibration duration, shorter durations such as 10ms or below results in it happening every keypress.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I had this too on 2 Moto G.

Did you also hear the same noise when going in and out of the camera?
Just wanted to know if it's normal really or if I should be seeking a replacement. Have a feeling it's going to get annoying!
I get them both too, don't think it's anything to worry about.
The camera one is something to do with auto focus as far as I'm aware, and I use Google Keyboard from the Play store with swiping to type so I don't notice the haptic feedback one as much any more.

This is driving me slowly nuts. I type pretty fast using SwiftKey which seems to make it more noticeable. I guess the shorter it vibrates the more it clicks or taps or whatever it's doing to make the annoying noise.
Is there anyone that DOESN'T get this? I'm seriously tempted to return it at this point in the hope of getting one that doesn't make a tapping clicking noise when it vibrates on touch. So it would be good to know if there are people out there who haven't experienced this.
I have two Moto G's at the moment.
The first one has a permanently stuck on blue pixel in the middle of the screen.
So I bought another (to transfer across and then refund the first). The second unit has this click with haptics.
The tone of the vibrate / haptic is noticeably different between the two phones too (the clicking unit sounds much buzzier).
So thumbs up for Moto Quality Control...
I took the phone which makes this noise with the haptics on apart, and can confirm that the noise is not from the buttons on the side rattling or any other part in the back of the phone. It sounds to me like it is making some component of the earpiece or the front camera rattle.
For anyone interested, here is a photo of the inside of the back cover that I took:

So we have one person confirming that at least one device does not have the rattling vibration. Mine definitely has this and it's sounding from those I've asked that it is more common than not. Well this sucks. I guess I can go without haptic at all. Because it's darn annoying. Sounds like a cheap toy. I'm still slightly tempted to return mine and see if the next one they send does not have the rattle.

Does yours sound like that? It's really annoying and sould like a defect. At least I hope that's a defect because it's horrible.

From those I've talked with, that's actually the more common experience. If you don't have the rattle, you lucked out.

I think you are correct - at least for units currently on sale via Tesco in the UK. My update - 3 of the 4 I've had through my hands have had the rattle. 2 have had stuck pixels (one which disappeared of it's own accord). So:
Phone 1: Quiet vibrate + 1 perma-stuck pixel + case corner creaking
Phone 2: Clicky vibrate
Phone 3: Clicky vibrate + stuck pixel (fixed itself)
Phone 4: Clicky vibrate
Did you buy through Tesco? I wonder if they got em cheap... they are certainly selling them cheaper than everywhere else.
I am beginning to think this is a characteristic - but it does detract a bit from the experience (especially with haptics turned on at the factory).
You could reduce the haptic duration for the AOSP keyboard which improves things while texting (try 10-13ms), and disable system haptics for other stuff.
Guys, did we get a conclusion if this is normal on this device? Mine does this as well.
Thanks

I think it is pretty normal. It's just cheap. Although it just might be a failure to properly attach the vibrating mechanism to whatever it attaches too. I have talked to some people with even the Moto x and they said that all of a sudden one day, theirs started making this sound. As if it detached. I have also seen a Nexus 4 with the issue.
In all likelihood, if you got a different Moto G, it will have the same issue. But it's really not bad at all if you turn haptic feedback off in general and for the your keyboard input.
This is a simple problem that has no solution that I'm aware of. On my OP6, notifications coming through any bluetooth headset that I've tried (3 of my own, and a couple others) have been so quiet even at max volume as to be nearly useless. Since the vibration motor on this phone is also so weak as to be nearly useless, this creates a problem when doing something like listening to music--any message will probably get missed.
Anyone have any experience solving this problem? Or maybe even a workaround of some kind? I'm on open beta 5 and rooted, but that makes no difference as all builds show this behavior identically.
Absolutely no one has noticed this problem? This isn't even a OP6 thing: it happened on my 3t and 5t as well.

It's fine here. Maybe it's your device thats connected to all your phones.

I suppose it's possible, but over the years I've tried upwards of 5 or 6 devices, ranging from wireless earbuds, over hear headphones, and a couple of bluetooth speakers. All exhibit exactly the same problem 100% of the time.

Doesn't your phone attenuate when a notification comes in? I barely hear the notification tone as well (which may confirm what you're saying) but the music lowers when one comes in so I know immediately when someone has texted me.
Hi guys,
I like my OP6 apart from one thing. The vibrate on calls and notifications when in vibrant mode is so weak that I can't feel it when it is in my pocket. Sometimes even miss calls when it is on a table near me. I have "Vibration intensity" set to "Strong" for both and have changed app settings where possible.
Do you know any app or mode which can help? I think I will not buy OnePlus anymore because of this weak vibrations. I missed a lot of important calls
Yes it is weak for me too... I guess the vibrator is not the strongest in op6...
Just install a custom kernel (root needed).
For example, Ex kernel has the option to change the vibration level through it's app.
