[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyzay:
Yes mine does it also, but as you stated no rattle if you shake the device... So I turned off vibrate on keyboard and deal with it any other time
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
It looks like everyone has the rattle. Who doesn't?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeepFreak:
Mine doesn't rattle, but the vibration is louder than I would like for sure.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaris:
OK maybe its just loud then and doesn't rattle.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 613BulletProof:
My girlfriend complains about mine being really loud and annoying. She tells me to put it on silent. I'm not sure if it rattles though, just very strong vibration.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
I had 3 Nexus 6's and 2 did NOT have the rattle/metallic clicking. It's a defect.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kEvinErd:
I can confirm this. Ive two Nexus 6 with me right now. One makes clicking sounds when typing with haptic feedback on while the other is completely silent. Not sure if this is a defect though but it doesnt really bother me too much cause i dislike typing with haptic feedback turned on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Yeah perhaps defect is too strong a way to call it. More like manufacturing tolerance with the spin housing on the motor is my guess. In any case, if someone needs haptic for typing it's truly annoying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kEvinErd:
Yeah I would think its more of manufacturing tolerance. Not too big an issue unless you really nit-pick.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:
I just picked up the N6 Saturday from a local AT&T store. Coming from the G2, I feel like the vibration is very weak; I can barely feel it vibrate; especially a text message with the 2 short vibrations as the notification. Reading this thread makes me want to check out the floor model and see if its the same.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagreek005:
Same issue here

Im wondering if I should replace mine as well, the clicking noise is very annoying when typing with haptic feedback on. It doesnt happen all the time, only sometimes when typing :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
Good luck with that. I tried 6 of them all clicky very annoying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Only 1 of 4 of mine is like that. The other three are loud and strong but NOT rattly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
Your lucky
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Not really, it took me 4 to get one that didn't have uneven tinting that wasn't noticeable. This one still has some uneven tinting and horizontal banding, and the vibration does make a very minor clicking sound (not sure when it started or if it was like this from the get go). The really minor clicking is nowhere near the sound my original was making which was a metallic / loose rattle. That was the only one like that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
Mine was no rattling when inbought it. Now a week later it starts rattling. So all of Ive seen rattling. Its just the matter of time. Things loosen up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 613BulletProof:
the vibrate on this phone is just too strong/loud... no more haptic feedback for me
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twon069:
I'm starting to feel this clicking/rattling noise, but aren't sure if it's the same as you guys.

I've recorded it on youtube but can't post link yet due to lack of posts. If you search "nexus 6 vibration rattle" you should be able to find it.

Mine felt like something is loose inside, has a clicking sound when shaked too :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
Yeah, mine sounds exactly like that too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre Nine:
Anyone ever get anywhere with this issue?

Mine was fine for the month I've had it but it's noticeably noisier now over the last few days. It kinda reminds me of what those cheap throwaway phones sound like.

It's got pretty cold here over the last week so I suppose it's possible that has affected it. I'm tempted to crack it open and see what's going on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
I mentioned several times here and there. all my nexus 6 had same issue. It was quiet but gets louder/rattling as time goes. Things loosens up.

If you are brave enough to crack it open, I would investigate to see if you can apply some adhesive on camera module because the vibrator sits right next to the camera.

My theory is camera module may be rattling when vibrate kicks in. Or vibrator itself makes noise. good luck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre Nine:
It seems to be happening because of the way the motor is mounted. I reckon the entire motor is moving around when it vibrates. It should have been with positioned with adhesive or something similar to prevent this so I'm thinking about tacking it in place with some 3M double sided foam or something similar.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtwlbz:
No Im sure thr motor is soldered down to the PCB. Something else like camera module may be the one rattling.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:
This noise has become so annoyingly loud I may have to RMA it to att. I should be able to feel the vibration. Not hear it across the room. Anyone else having this problem?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
Normal for the phone. Some sound that way out of the gate, others it takes some time. I disabled all haptic feedback and lowered the vibration intensity with LeanKernel, but it's still pretty annoyingly loud.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I have to agree this phone has the loudest vibrator of any phone I've used. Honestly, it isn't even quiet enough to be considered silent mode so I never use it. My Samsung phones have all had really nice quiet vibrators. HTC and now Motorola have been loud. My nexus 5 (LG)was quiet as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leagues58:
I think this may just be a Motorola thing. My old Moto X (2013) had the exact same awful sounding vibrator motor as my new nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:
I asked at for a replacement device. It arrived today and is surprisingly quieter. The volume buttons seemed a bit loose but it is definitely better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkc120:
This one started out better, but gradually degraded to what my other one was like. To the point where I have disabled all haptic feedback, even for the nav buttons.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linwe:
I bought the AT&T version a few weeks ago. The sound and feeling of the vibration motor has bothered me since day one. It seems to me that maybe it's just cheap motors.

I'm not brave enough to take the back off just yet. The Nexus 6 teardown has been posted on the iFixit website. I cant post links yet, "Nexus 6 Repair - iFixit".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funcrusher:
Same with the one I have now. It was the quietest I've had (out of 4 or so), but it's loud now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
I find that mine is also too... aggressive. Its a software thing though, the pulse just needs to be shorter.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidedX:
Definitely a defect.

I purchased a Nexus 6 directly from AT&T at full price in January, and was immediately plagued with calls not being heard on the other end.

I got sick of it, returned it, and bought it DIRECTLY from Google Play not even a month ago. Today I noticed that the vibration motor is loose, and is rattling. It is 100% a defect, and needs to be replaced.

So far I have seen 4 Nexus 6's get RMA'd. 2 were mine. ATT, and Pure. The other 2 were ATT, and TMobile.

Absolutely ridiculous. This phone cost me $690 with taxes and fees. My Nexus 5's only issue was the cheap plastic lettering fell off of the back. This phone has never been dropped, whereas my N5 was practically thrown across the room and never once had an issue.

Great job Motorola. I am almost tempted to go with the new Moto X just to not have to go through a 3rd RMA.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ostap999:
Has anyone figured out where the motor is and if its possible to hot glue it or something because this is really anoying
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Google is your friend.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
If you're going to hot glue it, why not just turn it off in the settings?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
That's not what he's talking about.

The motor occasionally breaks free of its mount. Glueing it in, will keep it in place.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
And the defect is software. Basically, there are variances between the ICs used to drive the motors, and between the motors themselves. Problem is that the motor driver isn't calibrated per device on these phones, which means that regardless of the variances, EVERYBODY gets the same hard-coded calibration values (they are actually specified in the kernel device tree). So one device will run the motor harder or softer than the next. You can go ahead and swap out the device for one where the hard-coded calibration values are more correct, but that doesn't actually mean that there is a hardware defect. You also stand the chance of getting one that is calibrated WORSE.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

The motor is soldered onto the mainboard. If it breaks free, it doesn't run.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I didn't say it breaks off completely, but it can become loose. Lead free solder is now a standard in electronics so it cracks much easier.

I have done the repair on a few N6s. Remove the lead free solder, use lead based to put it back, then either epoxy it or hot glue it for extra support and excessive vibration dampening.

Granted, the vibration it not as strong because of the dampening, but it usually gets rid of that rattle noise people hear.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] genheals:
Hello all,

For starters, some preliminaries:

ROM: ViperRom 3.2.1

Firmware: Latest (4.4.4)

Kernel, radios: Stock

Has anyone been having trouble with group MMS beyond the Hangouts app? The Hangouts app works like silk when it comes to group MMS - I can send/receive to all my friends (regardless of whether they have a smartphone or cell phone), it can play GIFs within the thread and it doesn't deliver messages at the wrong time (a 5:09pm message gets delivered before a 5:06 pm message). The problem with Hangouts is that it is slow and has odd kinks that drive me insane (when you send a message it doesn't show it unless you exit and reenter the message thread, three second delay to display contact when searching for number). The glaring issue is that it is an app that I simply do not use for it's native purpose - which is to create Hangouts and not use SMS. Nobody I know uses Hangouts, so I only use it for SMS.

I have tried literally every SMS app there is - Handcent, GOSMS, 8SMS, Hello, Textra, ChompSMS, Evolve SMS, Messaging (stock KitKat modified), HTC Messaging.

These apps all have a consistent problem - I cannot communicate with my cell phone friends in group chats. They receive blank messages and cannot read my replies. I've tried modifiying my APN but I am unable to create a new profile in Settings>Networks>APN. This is honestly strange to me because Hangouts works so flawlessly compared to all these other apps. Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Have you tried Verizon Message+ ? That is what I am using and works well for me. I'm usually not a fan of Verizon Software, but the messaging app has a lot of options and doesn't seam to lag.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] genheals:
I tried that app. Super clunky, definitely looking for a better alternative.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Trantzz:
Interesting.

I have been running Viper also ( until yesterday actually).

I have been using Handcent and group messaging seems to work fine. At least no one has told me otherwise.

I do notice, with Handcent that from time to time SMS/mms messages seem to get hung up for quite a few minutes( see the spinning wheel next to message). I always though that was a network issue. You have me thinking otherwise now..

I have never tried hangouts for SMS. I might give it a whirl.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Super clunky, okay. That's one way to describe it. lol. But did it work for group messaging? Have you tried a different rom? Viper is an international rom that has changes made for Verizon to work. Maybe there is a setting or library missing from Viper. Have you asked in that thread to see if anyone else has the same issues on Verizon?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] genheals:
I used CleanRom before this...really have no interest in switching ROMs but I see what you mean about it being international. I always had used Hangouts without compliant but it took a serious speed hit when it got updated/I updated to Viper
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Tried many of them and constantly been sticking with Textra.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
I recently discovered this app. Love it, its like what the new google messaging app should have been.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] javaguy110:
+1 on Textra. I had group messaging problems too until this app. There is an option under settings to use MMS for group messaging. I think it's off by default. Try switching it on and see how it goes. It fixed my probs, particularly when texting to/from iDevices.

Does textra have gif support in the message threads?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] javaguy110:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] genheals:
Textra does not work on Viper, tried that one as well
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] genheals:
UPDATE: Some of the issues I have were actually due to me disabling animations in Developer Settings. Once I re-enabled animations, the issues with Hangouts "hanging" at the second to last message, rather then displaying my newly sent message, went away. The app also seems much smoother on the whole. I guess that disabling animations is a bigger detriment than benefit when it comes to Hangouts.

I still have the same group MMS issues in apps other than Hangout (people with basic feature phones only receive blank lines, rather than text). Hangouts remains the only texting app that works flawlessly with group MMS. It's a shame, because Textra is such a beautiful app. :(

I am wondering how did Jolla modify Android to have the Sailfish UI? Also when you install the Sailfish image on top of the Cyanogenmod image what are the scripts doing to change the cm image?

It's cannibalising device drivers from the CM image. It's not using the OS at all. OS is Sailfish.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Chunky13:
Hello - Have been running XtreStoLite rooted for months now on my SM-G900T. About a week ago all of my known Wi-Fi connections would stop working sporadically. When I take a look at whats going on, my phone says there is authentication issue (password is wrong). It would seem obvious that this is the problem but I know this is not the case when connected to the few Wifi networks I consistently use, because I would have to be the one that would change the Wifi password to connect (I haven't changed it). Also, it may work normally anywhere between a few seconds to a few hours, then bam, out of nowhere I'm disconnected due to authentication problems. Where I'm at now is that there is something wrong with my S5, causing it to send the wrong password credentials. Even if I forget the connection and re-enter credentials it will fail, no other devices have this problem on these Wifi networks. Does anyone have an idea where to start troubleshooting now?

I have a E4GT that I've had rooted and Rommed for a while, I had it in a drawer with a full charge, I pulled it out last night to mess with it but its dead, won't boot and won't charge, just flashes the battery image over and over, try booting to recovery or download, no cwm, says battery low, can't download, I changed nothing before I put it in the drawer and I put it there with a full charge, I had noticed a week or two before that it was randomly powering down or rabdomly rebooting. I'm not new but I've never gad thus happen, I know the gs2 has a brickbug, is this my problem? I've unbricked devices so can I fix this if its the bug? I can charge my battery by some means if its possible to get this working again but do I odin stack tar or USB jig? Any other methods? is it brickbug? Can brickbug be fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
First thing I'd check is if your battery is bloated. If it is, replace it.

Something similar occasionally happens to me, but it's the power button that causes it... Even randomly reboots from recovery or download mode sometimes. It's as if I'm permanently holding down the power button. Usually a few good hard finger-flicks to the button jars it loose... I think it sticks sometimes from moisture, debris, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Droidriven:
I kinda noticed the sticky button, I wondered if its the battery, I checked it before I posted, therez no swelling but it was definitely very warm, I even took the cover off and pulled the whole assembly out to check the button I put it on charge without being in the cover, just the board and the battery in case it was the button, battery was warm when I checked after that so you're probably right, it just didn't make sense because it was working fine when I powered it down and put it away, thought it was strange it wouldn't do anything when I got it out, ill get a battery and see what happens, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
If the power button is indeed stuck, then it's very possible it booted/rebooted in your drawer until it died.

Hope you get it going... Good luck [emoji106]

just to update, I let the battery cool for a while then tried to charge again, its taking charge this time, I'm gonna see if it will boot just to verify if the phone itself is in working order but I'm still getting a battery. Whew....close one.

I only came here to ask because I've read a lot if posts during the time I was working on that phone about random bricks, same situation, they put it in a drawer just fine and wouldn't do anything the next time they got it out

ok, it charged and when it got to a certain point it booted on its own, I can confirm that the button isn't stuck so why did it power on by itself? If it were the button it would repeatedly boot wouldn't it?

Hello community!

I just got my used MDA from ebay which had a Sim Lock!

I unlocked it using Lokiwiz3a and the card is accepted!

When I turn on the phone it just keeps searching for network service and won't find any even after hours!

I've tried it with a T-Mobile SIM of my brothers and it worked but my Bluetello SIM doesn't!

I don't have any other SIM card or Phone to try if it is a problem with the SIM, so I ask you, if you know this problem or if somebody ever had this kind of Problem?

My Device:

ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE

Radio: 02.25.11

I think it is a G3, because it shows on startup

IPL 2.26

SPL 2.26
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dkb218:
Bluetello SIM ? What's that?

Whose your service with? Try your sim card on your brothers phone and see if it works.

I have tried it in my brothers phone(unlocked it :P) it also doesn't find service, so I guess my Provider deactivated my card!

I actually called them yesterday to reactivate, but I think that didn't happen yet!
