Hello, I've just got this phone, and I'm wondering if I got a dud. Can anyone check if they can clearly hear the vibration motor? For example when long-pressing on the home screen. On my device it is very strong and quite loud in a quiet enviroment. On my previous Xperia device, the X, it was strong, but really silent and smooth.
No one can answer this question? It is a simple test: long press on the home screen. Does it make a buzz sound?

Long press home screen I reserved for assistant apps like Google assistant.
You can choose them.
I deactivated it somehow.
Maybe because I removed the Google assistant app and use a different app.
The vibration motor on this phone is supposed to be stronger then others. I don't find mine to be disturbing though. My wife has the Xperia X and that is actually louder than mine.

My previously Nexus 6 was loud as hell.
In my opinion the xz2 vibration now only half as strong.

I have posted a bug with the rear speaker and the volume control. On my unit, when you turn this feature on, the volume is very loud. Even if you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, the volume is less, but still to loud. In a discussion with HTC today, they had no answer as to why this is happening. They indicated that when you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, it should mute. They pointed out that in WM6 there is no settings tab for setting the rear speaker volume as in WM5. Has anyone else tried this feature?
I don't have this problem.
But it doesn't mute though when i use the roll switch on the left side of the kaiser to lower the volume, it does decrease the volume to a minimum, but is NOT muted completely. (that's not a problem for me.. if i don't want to hear the rear speaker, i don't activate them ).

Ditto the only time I use the rear speaker is if I want to hear it.....If I don't I don't use it.

Hi
When using the speaker phone and turning down the volume, even on the lowest setting it isn't off completely. This makes absolute sense as if you are on a call using the speaker phone having no sound at all, well what is the point of being on the call in the first place?
When playing sound elsewhere, i.e. not in a call turning it down completely does mute it.
Your particular issue seems to be the sound doesn't go quiet enough for you, maybe HTC can change this in future firmware. I expect the complaints they get most often is it isn't loud enough to annoy people even more with silly ring tones!
Regards
Phil
"silly ring tones!"
Ha, that should be a song

im sitting inside now and theres some prick outside in his nova doing his bit to deny me of any peace - im gonna lose it and go vigilante pretty soon
Hey guys,
Ive had my HTC One for about a month now and I have just noticed there is a very faint rattling noise when I tap the top-back of the phone gently with my finger.
The sound is almost like it could be the volume rocker, but I’m quite sure it isn’t. And it cannot be heard when I shake the phone, only when tapped with my finger.
Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny the same experience with their device, or if they have any suspicions as to what might be making the sound.
Thanks for your help.
I think I know what you are talking about.
I think it is the way the phone is designed. Basically the speakers will get activated and all you hear is very subtle noise. Then when it deactivates after couple second you touched the back button. The speaker will let out this little noise not as subtle, but still very quiet.
Is that what you're hearing?

Hi Xx-Ness-xX,
Thanks for the reply. I dont think it sounds like the speakers. When I tap the back, Im not touching any button. Just tapping the area within a 1-2cm radius of the camera will produce the sound.
Also, the sound is not ongoing, it only last a fraction of a second, as long as the plain tap sound.

It's the camera focus mechanism.It's normal.
Awesome, thanks a lot for the response alanchai. Logical and relieving.
Thanks again.

Sorry I didn't explain clearly enough. The sound I am describing also only last a fraction of a second. The easiest way to tell is to check "Touch sounds" under Settings --> Sound. Then go to a quiet room, after the touch sound is played (either by pressing back capacitive button or on screen button) wait about a second or two then you should be able to hear a noise when the speakers get deactivated.

Hi again Xx-Ness-xX,
Ahhh, that makes sense. I do normally have ‘touch sounds’ deactivated. But following your instructions, I do hear the faint hiss when the speakers are activated (but not producing any intentional noise). I’m pretty sure this is a common trait when current is being fed to speakers (not just in phones). So you shouldn’t be concerned about that sound coming from your speakers.
I do, however, believe that the noise I was originally questioning in the original post is produced by the rattle of the camera focus mechanism, as suggested by alanchai.
Cheers.
Hi,
How do you find the vibration motor noise when pressing soft keys etc.?
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and it seems a bit loud and rattly on the new Moto X. I can't work out if it's normal or not.
I tried to make a recording but it seems near impossible to get a good one that's reflective of what I actually hear.
Thanks

Mine sounds like its trying to buzzsaw its way out of the bamboo lol. I was going to check some in store units to see if its similar. How's everyone else's?
mine is waaaay too strong i kinda love it but it startles me frequently, is there a way to dial it back some?
The vibration when I press my keys is fine, but the vibration when I get a call or text is loud as hell...
I just picked up a couple brand new Nexus 6 on a sweet deal (not the 6P, just the 6). My wife and I both use one now. We both noticed that when the earpiece volume is set to the lowest, someone near us can still hear the conversation. So, if my wife is talking to someone on her phone via the earpiece, I can hear that person talking when I am probably 3-5 feet away. Not at a speaker phone level, but clear enough to hear the entire conversation. Me, coming from a Nexus 5 and my wife coming from a Moto X, we didn't have this problem before.
Is there any way we can adjust it to not allow for this to happen anymore? What can one do when the lowest volume setting is still just a little too loud? We'd just like a little more privacy when using the phone during a call.
Thanks!

Try the app 'Volume Control plus' from FirestormApps

Thanks, I'll look into that, but was really hoping there was something that can be done without needing a 3rd party. I know older phones/OS would have some sort of enhanced privacy setting, which I can no longer find. I don't even know if that setting is what I think it is, but it just seems like there has to be some other way? Even the phone's lowest volume for ringtone is much louder than then Nexus 5's. I realize they are different phones with different manufacturers/hardware, but I guess I figured volume levels were the same or at least close.
So i called someone just to check the call quality in both ear piece as well as speaker phone. But then i realized that it took a brief moment to activate the loud speaker. First i thought it might be a proximity sensor issue. But after testing it few more times, i found out that proximity's got nothing to do with it. It was always working as intended after i press the loud speaker button. But it always takes a solid 2 seconds to activate. Might just be a minor bug that can be fixed with a software update. And yes i did try clearing cache and recent apps and did try rebooting afterwards. It's still taking 2 seconds to activate.
I can confirm this behavior. I think what it's actually doing is fading the volume up when you switch to speaker, which makes it seem like it takes a few seconds to switch over. The reason I think this is because it seems to do the same thing with ringtones... when my phone starts to ring, it quickly increases the volume over the first second or two of the ring. My guess is some Moto black magics.

Ya i guess that's definitely some moto sorcery going on there lolz. And i guess this thread didn't pick any traction because these days, not many people use their phone for calling purpose anyways?
