I just got a brand new S2 GT-I9100, but when I set the vibration to high levels it sounds like a car horn or something like that. Also, it's a bit ''metallic'' - there's a tiny split second of ''echo'' when the vibration ends.
Is this normal for S2, after all it is a very thin device so vibration resonance should be very noticeable anyway? Does yours sound similar? When I shake the device nothing rattles inside, so I presume everything sits tight in place.

So, your phone sounds like mine... Do you think it's just our phones, or it's like that on all GT-I9100 devices? Also, was your device sounding like that from the moment you bought it (while it was brand-new)?
Try and change the vibration pattern in the sound menu and see if it changes

It's the same - it only goes away if I lower the vibration intensity to 50% or place the phone upside down and press it against the carpet. A local repair guy told me it's normal for S2, and that his one sounded the same and that there's no point for sending it for repairs. He couldn't show me, he sold it a year ago. Only one guy told me it's not normal, others either can't remember or say it's normal.

OK, when I come home tonight.
Here you go guys, and I'm sorry about the bad quality - only an Huawei Y200 was aceessible to me at the moment. But it's good enough to hear the vibration sound. Replace "(dot)" with "."

I have this weird problem when headphones are connected and screen is on. Any screen activity, like scrolling or changing results in quite some static noise in the headphones. Since I have in-ears headphones this is quite loud and annoying. Does anyone else have same problem and/or solution for it?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hmmmmm.......now that does sound weird. You think a vibration option is interfering?
don't think it's got anything to do with the vibration. basically if i touch the screen and keep finger on it without moving it - i start hearing some static. Moving it around the screen (without screen changing) makes the noise louder and if screen starts changing - like scrolling or some weather animation starts playing the noise becomes really annoying.
*whistles* When I was on my Hero I had a similar issue and just changed cords. It reduced the static but not by much, but I accepted it since it was a low end phone. But this is a high end one. It's amazing something like that has crossed over to the 3D. I hope we can find a solution to that.
Same thing here, I think its just something we have to live with.

hm that sucks... it didn't happen on my Nexus S, probably gotta try Galaxy S II and see if it's an HTC specific issue... Or LCD specific issue maybe since Samsung uses SAMOLEDs.
Just got the Note 2 on Friday. Love the phone except for one major issue. Pitifully weak vibration. I have the vibration intensity at the maximum setting but I can barely feel it vibrate. I have it holstered with a belt clip attached to my hip.
My previous phone (Droid Bionic) vibrated like crazy! You definitely knew when an email, appointment, text message, etc. arrived. Is anyone else experiencing this with their Note 2?

It's my theory that vibrations work correctly on stock kernel if you install a 3rd party kernel it messes with vibrations

Some kennels allow you top adjust the intensity so if it was weak then you probably needed to turn it up.

Yeah man. I don't see the correlation between vibration intensity and kernel. You sure something is not messing with your head? hehehe
I'm hoping someone has a solution to this very annoying issue I'm having with my Note 2.
It's Verizon - stock - 4.1.2
When I dial a phone number and put the phone to my ear the screen goes black - as it should. But when I move the phone away from my ear the screen doesn't come back on. It stays blacked out and I can't get it to come back on with the home or even the power button.
This means I can't hang up, I can't put the phone on speakerphone mode, I can't use the touchtone pad to navigate through menus. It's made my phone a real pain in the arse.
Anyone have any thoughts on what to do or what's going wrong?:fingers-crossed:
A couple things I'm thinking... Try pulling out your spen when it happens.. Do a battery pull if nothing else.. It might be the proximity censor... Do you have a screen protector on it?

I'll try the s-pen, maybe that will work.
I've got a screen protector, but it's the same one I've had on since I first bought the phone months ago. I've pulled the battery several time, it's the only way to hang up!
I too think it's the proximity censor, which sucks because I don't want to trade in my phone for some refurb that's gone through God knows what.
Good luck...those were the only things I could think of. ..

Check your case and your screen protector. and clean the proximity sensor. Know it sounds weird, but have problems before with screen protectors getting oil on them when placed to the ear and the sensor thinking you are still close. Also lighting from cases makes the sensor go fruity. Not a science but worth a check.

THANKS! I used the compressed air method - I blew it through the ear hole and open the back of the phone and blew it through any openings I saw. Now the sensor works perfectly again. :highfive::highfive:

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.

^^ 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.
Hi Guys,
I noticed today that my Z ultra vibrate is loud. I actually hear something inside the phone like a fly or piece of paper or small object was stucked.
It's very annoying and sounds like the vibratory is broken or something so I temporary disable any hectic feedback and notifications (vibrate)
Is anybody who experience this issue and was able to fix?
Thanks

I don't know if you're actually hearing what you think you are - or you just aren't used to the vibration on the Z Ultra.
The Ultra's vibrator is the loudest I've ever heard on a phone.
The noise of the vibrate is louder than it vibrates the phone. I am not sure if the vibrates get worst as I disable the vibrate when I got the phone. Now I want to use it and hearing the weird noise inside the phone when it vibrates.
Wondering if this is defective or its normal.. Noise is like something is loose inside the phone.

Not normal, well at least mine is not noisy at all
Granted, the Ultra's vibrator is really loud, but I can't say that I've heard any rattling noises inside it. It's really really hard to help you when all we get is a forum post without some audio You should upload a YouTube video.

Thanks, LordManhattan, blueether, and hassanmahmood.
I record the vibrate noise on the same phone as I do not have any digital camera or phone that I can use to record the noise at the moment.
Note that the actual sound is a bit lesser than you can hear on the recording. But it sound like it.
first 10 Secs = vibrate with sound when I press and hold the icon for a sec.
18 secs = is the vibrate with sound on Diagnostic section (Settings > About Phone > Diagnostic > Test Device > Vibration) - This sounds like electric shaver.
Here's the like where you can download the recording.

I had the same problem, and it turned out I had the back glass up by half a millimeter. It caused the vibration to make more noise than normal.
Give this a try: hold tight the lower left side of your Ultra and redo the test.
Does it sound better? Like, muffled? If it does, it definitely is the back cover lifting, another case of bad gluing.
If it doesn't, I don't know how to help you...

Hi, when I hold the lower left of the phone it gets a little better but the noise still there. I called Sony and they said the shaver noise like is normal to Z ultra.

No it's not I don't have that noise.
Oh well, I really love the phone and it does all I want on a phone plus more. However this issue really annoyed me.
Is there somebody who solves the issue? I know I should have Sony service center check the phone but I want to knowing somebody bring their unit to Sony center and able to fix it and what might have cause the issue and what parts has been replaced? I want to know first so I don't waste my time going there leave my phone and they won't be able to fix
Thanks guys again for Sharing your thoughts

If it gets better, you may have a slightly misplaced vibration motor.
If you look close enough, do you see the back glass up even by a thin hair?
I sent mine back to repair, it had the back lifted a little bit (which caused the vibrating excessive noise), but I also hard bricked, and they gave me a new one due to "lack of experience on the device, Sony gave us the direct order of replacing the units, we're not able to repair them yet".
But it was like a month after the release the may repair yours... just be sure to go for an official Sony repair center, if you don't wanna end up with a badly glued panel, leading to a dead phone after exposing it to water.

Hi closely look at the back glass for about 2 to 3 minutes and I don't see any glass misalignment.
I might bring the unit to official Sony service center, problem is I do not have any spare phone to use haha.
