Since I don't seem to find anything vibration related, I decided to start a new topic.
I don't know about you, but coming from an S3, on which the ringtone at full volume is most likely to cause more vibration than the vibration itself, the ZU in comparison almost causes an earthquake every time I get a new SMS or email...
I get that the vibration is supposed to be felt, but I wish I could set that to a lower level, for when I put in on the table at the office...
Are there any apps that could fulfill my needs?
Could you recommend some?

There might be a possibility in the future..don't know about it now. I have the feature built in with CM10.2 nightly on my HOX to change the power of the vibrator

Isn't it related to the problem you have with the back?

My vibrator is also incredible violent, and i've checked the back and every tiny detail on the hardware, and it's solid like a rock. It doesn't sound funny or anything, it's just so powerful.

Didn't test it yet, just saw in a previous thread that he have the back going out at the exact place on the vibrator. But I can say that for once, I really feel when my phone vibrate on my pant, believed it was due to it size but now I know it's not

It's definitely related to the back cover problem.
I kept the phone warm for a bit and then I clamped it for 2 hours, it was fine for half an hour maybe, and then the back plate started to lift up again, obviously influencing the vibration as well.
I'm so pissed as I'm realising that I will have to go for warranty one day.
And by that I mean going through the whole "I bought the phone in the UK but you know that Sony covers warranty damages anyway in any EU country if you bought it from one" process.
I guess they'll definitely will oppose some resistance at first.

Phone came back as new, they replaced it, didn't oppose any resistance, but took 15 days...
Anyway, back is fine and vibration sounds as it should finally.
So bottom line, if your vibration gets a little bit too "rattling sounding", it's definitely a back cover problem.

Hia guys, something strange happened to me the other day..
I had some change of money in my pocket and when i i put my phone in the same pocket i
and i pulled it out some time later, my change was magically stuck to the back of my phone..
So i tried that again, and it seems that my loudspeaker of the phone is still magneticaly charged. I tried this with some other phones, including the iphone but no phone did the same..
This is kinda odd because as far i know phones arent allowd to do this.. what if i slide it on accident my pin or credit card allong its back.

Please give me some info on what to do next. Ill post a video later on.

Of course the speaker is magnetic, that's how it works. I didn't think it was that strong though.

the magnet on the speaker of the xperia s/p/u/sole/go is not covered, with materials that have magnetic permeability properties, and absorb magnetic field! becose they fownd a way to make it not interfere with the compass and other stuff and to make stronger the magnetic field detection!
so i think is not a problem since is not powerful enough to damage stuff like credit cards!
"found on goolge"
thankss guys
Thanjs for your replies! I was a bit nervous about this what i had a defect phone,
Thanks guys!
Hey.. i have the sony xperia s now for a few weeks. And i have to say, it has broken 2 of my credit cards!! Now i am searching for a new backcover to protect my cards from the phone -.-
I was amused when I pulled my XPS out of my pocket and had a bunch of coins stuck to the back of it
I'll make sure I don't keep it next to my cards from now on though!
If the Xperia S magnetic speaker can demagnetize and damage credit card, then it is really having strong magnet...
And the only advantage of having a mobile phone demagnetizer is when you are in date and don't want to pay the bills...

Hey guys,
Terrible tragedy here, had this phone for just a couple months and the audio jack started going wonky. Audio would cut out of one channel unless I spun the wire exactly the right way. Got tired of this, so I ordered a new jack for a few bucks and waited for it to come from China. When it finally did, I pulled my phone apart carefully following this guide:
dozuki-guide-pdfs.s3.amazonaws.com/durapowerglobal/guide_4_en.pdf
Not my first rodeo here, so it was pretty simple to take to apart, snap in the new jack, and put it all back together. Turned it on, and sound works, volume rocker, haptic buttons light up, vibrates, indicator light, all that good stuff. But the screen won't come on! Step 3 of that guide (the image is a little hard to see) has a black outline around the screen flex cable. Reseated that thing some 50 times already crossing fingers and praying to gods I don't believe in. Still nothing. I swear I was more careful with this repair than I've ever been with anything in the past, didn't crack anything, twist, bend, break anything, didn't go crossing wires or doing it while the phone was on. I can't see any reason why the screen won't turn on :crying: And the pricetag on a new screen is just about what the phone is! That, and of course there's no guarantee that a new screen would solve the problem if the issue happened to be on the board side of the connector.
Any advice? I'm grabbing at straws here and really don't want to have to drop money on another one just a few months after I bought it. Help greatly appreciated!
I am not sure what you can do, but since you had a legit issue with the phone that you didn't cause by doing something you shouldn't have, why didn't you get it exchanged under warranty?

Interesting... that thought never even crossed my mind. I guess my presumption was that a problem like that could be deemed damage to the phone if they insisted I had a wire plugged in and bent it or something to that effect. I guess I'm just so used to warranties not ever fixing anything that I forgot they existed. My natural reaction has become: something's broken? I'll have to fix it.
Though, I guess I could put it back together and bring it to a Verizon store and say the screen turned off and won't turn back on. Playing dumb may be a viable option.

Now that is fraud and I don't condone that. One thing to have a legit issue and they would have sent you a refurb with no issues.
Now that you have damaged your phone you should pony up and pay to get it fixed.

Ye warranty man wth lol....but thats what that 5 extra bucks a month goes to huh......i mean your insurance you got on your 700 dollar phone right now that its really messed up
My mistake, I didn't mean to cite fraud on this board. I'm simply frustrated with something that doesn't make sense to me and looking for a viable option that doesn't involve a $700 price tag. If I dropped it or got it wet I'd pay the bill, no problem. That I can clearly say is my fault and I messed up. I'm just astounded as someone who builds and repairs laptops, has fixed countless cell phones, ipods, etc. that simply unplugging a wire and plugging it back in would make the screen completely stop working with no signs of life. I just can't make sense of WHY it happened. If I could, I could blame myself and accept the bill for it and call it a lesson learned. But I haven't learned anything, other than that 99% of the time when I carefully replace parts everything will work fine, and 1% of the time - the time when the replacement bill is over 200% the original bill - something will strangely go wrong without any reasonable explanation.

Samsung doesn't charge an insane amount to fix the screen. Not anywhere close to 700.
The end of the day, the screen worked fine, you took the phone apart, screen now doesn't work, your fault. You did something. Everyone makes mistakes. You have a lesson to learn here, you just don't like it. Your lesson should be to have it replaced with a refurbed unit through Verizon not fix it yourself while under warranty unless they deem your issue not covered by warranty.
Warranties are interesting things. They sometimes cover things they shouldn't and don't cover things they should. Laptop warranties cover the AC port. I've sent laptops off for customers in the past where they obviously broke the AC port by putting extreme force against the AC cord. MFG still covered it. Not every company is out to get you.
I've only had to do it once with my Rezound. Got the refurb in a few days and sent my original one back. Was simple. I also didn't pay a dime.

Turned around and after about 5 mins found the phone and its case, (still missing my sd card and battery,, it was about midnight) went back the following day and found the sd card and battery, unfortunately the screen was smashed and the lcd was also cracked it powered up but there was no picture, i have noticed after further examination that along the bottom of the handset on the back just above the charging port there is a crack in the plastic and a bit is missing and you can see two springed metal connectore, now whether these connect to the antenna for network or not i do not know, ive been googling non stop and the general idea seems to be imei problems??

Mobo could be damaged. Either that or the antenna is missing. The antennas are located on the right and top of the moon. It is exposed when you change the LCD. If you switched it yourself, check those connections. It's pretty easy to check it.
Right and top of the moon? Also the phone works perfectly if not faster than it used to wifi Bluetooth etc all works is the antenna with the wire that runs down the right anything to do with it ?

i think my biggest concern, and its not an actual problem with the phone. is LGs drop in value so fast, ill probably play it with for a week and stick with my s4 till the phones done dropping in price in about a month.

Coming from the Droid Incredible, then the Galaxy Nexus, then this - well, the tech has come a long way. I should probably post this in a separate thread, but do the buttons being on the back bother anyone? Because they don't bother me at all. I was a little surprised actually.
its good to hear that from more and more people. i imagine when you click on the back button it pushes the phone forward because of the force it takes the push the button but sounds like no ones having an issue with it.
I also love this phone

Speakerphone & call quality works fine for me, but each person seems to have diff exp when it comes to them. Honestly, this phone could produce NO SOUND and i'd prolly STILL use it, lol
as for Knock On, it takes a few awhile to a) realize you have to tap on a "clear spot" on any homescreen, not over an icon or you will launch it, little bit of learning curve, ppl soooo exaggerate... b) it seems to respond MUCH better to 'tap" from fingertips, not a "knuckle"...And most imp, if you find always, "looking for a cleared area to tap" to turn your device off, just double tap anywhere up by notifications, and it works EVERYTIME!
Do not be worried, within 10 minutes of opening the box, i can almost guarantee you will be totally sold on this phone...
Those "negative Nellies" are prolly the type that HAVE to find something to complain about...Every forum has 'em!
Ms D
I don't really use speaker phone so I can't comment, Bluetooth has worked well for me though. As far as knock on, if I have had my screen off for a long time, I find one initial touch and then doing knock on works 100 percent of the time.
And I actually like lg's keyboard! No one has mentioned it.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Yeah the speaker is a little weak in my opinion. Other than the HTCone i would say that all phone speakers are mediocre.. some are just a little better and some a little worse... I would say the lg g2's speaker is in the middle.. and if anything a little worse.. still it works and does the job for me. As far as Knock on/off .. It's a fantastic feature.. if the screens been off for 20-30 minutes it works the first try.. if it's been hours since you've touched your phone it seems like it takes 2 sets of knocks.. not a big deal though.. awesome feature! I've been transferring info/data/progs from my gs2 the last couple days and have noticed myself knocking on the GS2.. pretty funny but it's seems natural even after the first day!
Love the LG keyboard, I was using a leaked version on a rooted Optimus G and its the best kb I've used and it comes with 4 skins I believe. Knock on and off is imo the best feature out of all that any company has come up with in the last batch of flagships. I'm talking dynamic notifications, and always listening crap. Also nice to see they use the only feature I actually used on my old S4, smart screen to detect your still looking at screen and display stays on. I love the drag up feature to access quick access items, they added tons of options to the launcher more in line with an aftermarket one to a degree with icon changing, screen transitions and such.
Speaker isn't the worst, but it isn't the best either. Scale of 1-10 I would give it a 6 in accordance with my experience with other phones. It's very usable but won't win any awards for speaker sound, like the HTC One.
As far as knock on; when the screen is on, "tap off" works flawlessly when tapping the bar on the top or any open unused area on the screen. When "tapping on" the phone I tap three times and it works every time. Sometimes double tap doesn't work the first time when the screen is off.

Viper? Was curious if anyone has tried it yet
Following the topic opened for the device twisting in pocket (again, apologies for being a di*k on it), I discovered this other problem.
My back cover is not being completely shut.
I have a .5mm gap between the white border and the white back cover on the bottom right corner (looking from the back), just were the vibration motor is.
I'm even sure that this problem is related to another annoying thing for me, which is that the vibration is way too noisy (holding the corner pushed in makes the vibration smoother).
I submerged the phone in hot and cold water several times when I discovered this thing, but no problems whatsoever.
I tried to heat the back with an hairdryer and clamping it for the night, but eventually it lifts back up.
Oh, and I literally burned the white bezel a little (just a tiny little, but that got me really MAD), so be careful with the hairdryer in case you got the same issue.
I will post some pictures when I get hold of a decent camera.
Did some of you notice something like this?

Not really but comming from the note 2 the vibration alarm feels much smoother soo i think ypu could have a bad glueing spot. I believe there is npthing you can do about it but claim a warranty your own repair tries will make it just worse. If you can't get it repaired under warranty wait for ifixit and look if they publish a repair guide with reapplying of the glue (highly doubt it though)

I don't want to use an old phone for a week, no way.
Not just for a glue thing that can be fixed in like 5 minutes anyway.
From the other thread I posted:
I kept the phone warm for a bit and then I clamped it for 2 hours, it was fine for half an hour maybe, and then the back plate started to lift up again, obviously influencing the vibration as well.
I'm so pissed as I'm realising that I will have to go for warranty one day.
And by that I mean going through the whole "I bought the phone in the UK but you know that Sony covers warranty damages anyway in any EU country if you bought it from one" process.
I guess they'll definitely will oppose some resistance at first.

Is this back cover problem before or after the twisting experiment you tried?

It happened way before, because the vibration was always strange...
Anyway, I sent it in for warranty, as yesterday I turned it off and it stayed in boot loops ever since.
I guess SetCPU had something to do with it, as I set it to 300mhz when the screen went off, and I suspect the phone didn't have the power it needed to turn back on.
I tried with every program I have (PCC, Sony Bridge, SUS), everything went fine repairing it, but no luck.
Now I'll have to wait more than a month (that's what they said, unfortunately) and I'll have to live with an LG 2X until then crying::crying.

I live in Verona, Italy, and the repair centre is in Milan, like 100 miles from here.
Still, I don't know why the hell they take all that time.
In fact, I will call Sony again tomorrow complaining A LOT about this.
It's unbearable that in 2013, when I send a package via UPS from Italy to US in 1 (ONE) day, a cell phone repair (in which they will probably just replace the whole device) takes A MONTH.

That's bonkers! With any luck they just say a month as the longest it could be, but will returned sooner. Month is just crazy.

Let's hope so, but I'm not that confident, I'm in Italy, not in the UK... things go slooooooow here.
Or better yet, why just not give me a (paid) option to just get it repaired in a week? I paid premium price for the device, I don't care for another 50 £/$/€, I just want it back.

It went dead while I was chatting on WhatsApp.
Hard reset, fastboot, nothing worked.
