[Q] Vibration - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am kind of hoping that I got a defective device and that vibration isn't a general X10 problem. How strongly do your phones vibrate compared to others? I could barely feel mine even when I hold it in my hands (and I'm not talking about the haptic feedback when typing, I am talking about when receiving phone calls and text messages, and all the settings are correct).

Can anybody help me out here...?

[Q] Haptic feedback issues?

I'm having trouble with haptic feedback lately. It comes and goes on everything eg., keyboard, home, menu, etc. buttons, lock screen (the feedback on unlock), etc. Anybody else experiencing these problems or have a possible solution for them?
I'm running CM 7.0.2 not overclocked or anything with this started happening.
Yea I noticed that too. Every so often my keyboard sporadically had no haptic. It drove me nuts cause it felt like I wasn't pressing the button. I just turned haptic off because of that issue and I actually prefer it this way now.

I might try that, does it help battery any, too?

I'm sure in some very small way it does. But nothing I've been able to notice.
What i have noticed is I've found I can type faster now because I don't find myself waiting for that feedback. It may be a slight effect, but when typing long emails or text its noticeably faster for me having feedback off.

[Q] Swipe to end call

I apologize ahead of time if this has already been posted but I have looked high and low for a solution to this:
During a call, sometimes I move the phone slightly away from the phone occasionally and sometimes it is just far enough to turn the screen back on. I don't really like that end call is simply a button. I was wondering if anyone knows of a swipe or slide to end call function that way just touching the screen won't end/hold a call without a deliberate gesture. I read a lot of other forums and most people say "is your proximity sensor working properly." Short answer: yes because the screen still turns off if the proximity sensor is triggered but sometimes it doesn't. By the way I am running CM7 RC1.4 on my Thunderbolt. I feel like when I still had sense, there was some sort of swipe to end call but I might be imagining things. Any help is appreciated.

You haven't looked high and low.
If you had, you'd know that a simple can of air would fix your problem. Blow the air into the left side of your earpiece.

And yet again someone assumes the sensor isn't working... I was looking for a swipe to end call feature. Not a solution to a misbehaving sensor.

Well I know you don't like to be told how to fix your problem.
But if you fix the sensor, your problem would be fixed.
Duh.

wow. Well if anybody else feels like actually being helpful feel free to do so. I feel like I'm on after dawn's forums again.

Vibrate is too weak?

Mines exactly the same, prefer it to be softer

As a usar of CM7 on the Atrix, I know it (and some other ROMs for other phones) have the setting of how long the haptic feedback lasts. Take note, what you are experiencing isn't a "week", feedback, it's a short one, as phones don't really have the possibility of calibration in it's strenght.
Maybe future ROMs for the razr will enable this configuration...
My vibrate is weak too, was going to go to Verizon today to see if it is defective.
When a text or call come in it seems more like a fast jiggle than a hard vibrate...also when typing I can barely feel a vibrate at all (it is turned on)
Is this normal?
I see lots complaining about this. Remember the more vibrations it's going to drain battery faster. Personally I never used haptic feedback till now, the softer vibration is nice to me.

I have a feeling thats just how it is cause mine is too. Keep in mind it's a skinny phone!
Mine vibrates well but is a fairly loud noise when vibrating.

Mine seems to have enough vibration feedback, but what doesn't work is the "screen press sound" I called Verizon tech support for the heck of it just to hear what they would say, and told me I could exchange it. Anyone else having this issue?
A lot of this thread has pertained to haptic feedback, but what about regular vibrate notifications when the phone is in silent mode. My phone barely does anything at all. Even when I'm holding it in my hand it barely vibrates compared to the GSII or iPhone.
Is this just the way it is, or is mine defective?
I've literally missed every single call, text, and email that have come in. This is the only thing keeping me from loving this phone, but I have to say, it's a dealbreaker if I can't have the phone in silent mode and still know when something comes in.
I actually prefer the amount of haptic feedback the RAZR provides. I didn't much care for the keyboard feedback, but that was fixed with SwiftKey. Like Bond32 said, less vibration, less battery usage!

[Q] Clicking inside phone?

Hi, I used the search but I couldn't find anyone else having a problem like this so I'm asking right now!
I just got my HTC One 3 days ago and I absolutely love it! With that being said, I have noticed a strange click that seems to happen inside of the phone everyone and a while. I have tried turning off all the "button noises" in the settings and it still happens, it seems to happen often when I am typing but also happens at other times too. It's not terrible but it is a little annoying as I want my phone to be perfect
Oh and just to clarify it sometimes happen when I tough the screen and sometimes when I don't. So it nothing like a response noise.
Sorry for the block of text!
Thanks!
it is probably just the camera or autofocus sensor had the same problem on my old iphone and all the ones that i've had while changing out for a good one had the same sound

Under sound there is a option to enable touch sounds when making screen selection, it is a clicking type sound, do you have this enabled, drove me crazy for about the first 3 days

Mine has no clicking sound, but my autofocus is broken, going for a replacement today.
Mine has a weird click when the haptic feedback hits sometimes. I think it's just the vibrate motor kicking on.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
^^ I think it is the the vibration kicking in or something. I have turned off all screen tough sounds and everything but it still happens. Like I said, it's not a huge deal but just slightly annoying. I'm going to try turning the vibration on touch off.

[SOLVED] NT supposed to have vibration feedback?

Hi,
I first thought that the Nook Tablet doesn't have vibration feedback at all. But at least there ( http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ ) in the comments somebody talked about vibration feedback in skype.
So I am not so sure anymore! I found no previous thread about this topic, so I opened this one....
Anyone can confirm that the Nook Tablet has or hasn't vibration feedback? If it normally should have it, it might be a problem on my side? I would be more than happy to have slight vibration feedback when using the keyboard!
I bought this used, so it also might be defective, or maybe has a third party battery internal and the vibration is inside the battery? Or is it a problem of CM (10.1) ?
Thanks already!
--------------------------
Ok, after searching for a while, I have found the following, that probably settles it: No hardware for vibration feedback in Nook Tablet:
http://www.androidfornook.com/forum/thread-1071.html
I think it could be possible to do hardware modding to add vibration, but this would need some work:
- Find Documentation which way is mostly used in android to connect a vibration motor to a omap2430
Depending on how easy this is (maybe just some transistor + vibration motor connected to the right pin of the chip), it might be possible to do
It also depends how easily those pins are accessible in the Nook Tablet hardware design ...., this needs to be checked
- design a small suitable circuit and use the vibration motor from an old phone / vibrating toothbrush, ....

AFAIK, it does not have vibration feedback. That feature usually exists for phones. There's a tiny little motor inside that makes it vibrate. The Nook Color and Tablet does not have any vibrating motors inside.
If you want noise feedback for incoming Skype calls or notifications, you can change that in the settings menu.
