[Nexus 5X General] ath1337:
Really hoping a custom kernal can fix the frequency of the vibration motors in this phone. It's so loud that the person next to me at work asked what that annoying beeping sound was...
[Nexus 5X General] nieker:
Just got the phone and I've been searching for an hour if this was some kind of sound setting. It's just way too loud, people around me are really annoyed by it. I hope a fix can bring a solution, I remember having some vibrations sound issues on my original nexus 5 too. But nothing near as annoying as this
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Remember to assert your dominance over those around you with the 5x vibration noises. If they give you funny looks or ask what that sound is just stare into their eyes as you continue to type, they will soon realize you're the alpha and bow to your superiority. :p
[Nexus 5X General] Ryandos:
Using EX Kernel Manager you can change the vibration strength in the miscellaneous options.

Although when I set mine below 27%, when I am typing it occasionally gives a stronger vibration than the rest?? I'm not entirely sure if that's the best explaination but it might be because the phone is being sluggish right now so some keys are pressed weirdly.
[Nexus 5X General] sage_viper:
I've got a N6, and my fiance has the 5X. I, personally, love the sound it makes. It's not as strong as the Motorola one, no; but to me it gives me notice of a notification (I always have my phone on vibrate- never really liked ring tones, etc.) without bludgeoning me with it, as the N6 does. I don't think it's really all that loud.

Back when I had root on the 6, the FIRST setting I adjusted, always, was lowering the vibration strength. This thing is borderline obnoxious when it vibrates.

Though, as far as the haptic feedback goes, I haven't handled it enough with the feedback turned on to develop an opinion. Fiance hates it, so it stays off on her phone.
[Nexus 5X General] Chaos2Theory:
Custom kernels unlock the vibrators from the 22% strength they come stock with. Quit complaining.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
No one has complained since the option became available with custom kernels. Start reading.
[Nexus 5X General] luca5h:
One of the biggest flaws of this smartphone is vibration, really a terrible sound!! Can we resolve this problem with some mod?
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
As noted earlier in this thread, custom kernels have the option to edit the vibration strength.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
It's pretty strange if your vibration is causing a beeping sound. I LOVE the vibration on my Nexus 5X. So much better after coming from the Nexus 5 which hardly vibrated at all.

I'm curious what everyone's expectation is from a phone's vibration motor. I want something that I can feel in my pocket and notice when it vibrates on my desk.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

I think the feature is that you can actually tell when it's vibrating. A HUGE improvement over the Nexus 5. I used to miss calls and not see texts for hours because of how weak the vibration was. I always have my phone on silent so being able to tell it's vibrating is very important.
[Nexus 5X General] MMoodyB:
I'm hoping this can be tweaked at some point too.

ElementalX kernel + the EX Control app help alleviate it somewhat by making the vibration strength weaker, but it still has that too-high-pitched buzzy feel to it.

Having come from an Xperia Z2 where the haptic feedback was much more of a rumble than a high pitched buzz, it just makes the 5X feel cheaper in comparison.

It's as though Google & LG were offered a stock clearance price on the motors that nobody else wanted to use.
[Nexus 5X General] SeriesOfTubes:
I just pulled my HTC ONE out the other day and played with it a bit. The vibration on that phone is like a tank compared to the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] Cookeys:
Hi,

I just received my Nexus 5X today and I got the same problem.

Has anybody tried this app : Vibration Config Nexus 4 and 5 on the play store ( I can't post a link because I'm new )

U have to be rooted but give it a try if you are.

Personally I'm not because I didn't received my USB C to A cable to connect my phone to my PC.

Have a nice day.

Cookeys
[Nexus 5X General] bsebi:
When I receive a call the vibration makes a buzzing electric sound. Is that how it happens for you guys or just the pitching noise when you press keys?
[Nexus 5X General] dogsfoot:
I just replace the rear cover on my old nexus 5. I had to remove the vibrator from the old cover and use it in the new one. I pryed it out of the old one and put it in the new one. the vibration was so strong the phone would move across the bench.

This was becuase the new cover had no sticky to hold the vibrator in place. I removed the cover and stuck th e vibrator down with a piece of screen tape i had laying around.

The phone then just mad a high pitched sound with little to no vibration.

i removed the cover again and the vibrator and screen tape, replaced the tape with a smaller piece giving the vibrator more movement insted of being stuck down solidly, and now the phone vibrates perfectly. not noisey but enough to easily feel it your coat pocket.

Maybe the Nexus 5x has the vibrator stuck down too well, limiting it`s vibration as above with the first screen tape attempt.

:o

edit:

found this which may backup my logic.

I open the cover and I use to have 2 or 3 seconds to start typing in my pin to unload. After the 5.1.1 upgrade now I open the cover and before I can start entering my pin the screen have gone black again. I have to hit the power or home button again to activate the screen again.

Is there a setting I haven't found as to how long this stays active? I just want a few seconds not one.

[Amazon Fire Phone] Jose-MXL:
This post is mainly for people without access to Underground apps:

I contacted Amazon and they are very restrictive on what can be done with these coins (pretty much nothing but spending them)...

So I was curious, if you were to spend that many coins in something, what would it be? I already have a bunch of the apps that I got from the free app of the day so all I ever wanted to buy, already got it for free...

Anyways guys, can you share me some of the apps that you would get with that many coins? Chances are I don't have them all and I will buy them and give them a try for you!

Let me know guys.

[Amazon Fire Phone] archer2009:
I have an Amazon Fire Phone bought from the USA and unlocked to any network but using in the UK on 3 network.

I've rooted the phone and using a different launcher + added Google Play, so for the most part it act's like most Android phones.

However one major problem I have is the device seems to keep losing the names and phone numbers of everyone I have on Gmail. It seems to retain the names and numbers of people on Facebook who have shared their phone number but the majority of my numbers (over 800 people) are stored on Gmail.

The only work around I've found is to go into gmail on my PC and export all my contacts to a VCF file (vCard format) and if the phone loses the contacts I can import them back again from the VCF file but this of course misses out any new people I've added since the last export.

Is there a 3rd party app that will manually let me resync my gmail contacts over the internet at will?

my phone is firmware: Fire OS 4.6.3 (463001620)

I'm using both the original Firephone Contacts Manager and Email software to help keep the contacts in sync with GMAIL

One of the main reasons I also like to use GMAIL to handle my contacts is I like to add photos of people to their details
[Amazon Fire Phone] JDubbed:
I had a similar problem but it was because I froze a background system service that was involved with syncing gmail contacts. As soon as I unfroze it problem solved. So make sure you didn't freeze any system services. Sorry I forget exactly which system service it was. You could also go into account settings, delete gmail and re add it. Give it some time and it should sync your contacts.

One other problem I had in the past was that for some reason I had a couple hundred duplicates of one contact (not sure how this happened) and it broke the syncing and the phone just refused to sync contacts giving me a fail message. I went into my gmail contacts and deleted all duplicates. Problem solved.

Also could be a bad contact with a unique field or bad code or just weird symbols. Try making a new gmail account. Add a couple contacts and add that gmail account to your phone. Does it sync fine with the new gmail account?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mad1980:
The built in contacts app is seriously stupid and its driving me crazy.

it shows several contacts sources and I can't disable the sync of any of them rather than changing the view to Gmail only or so...therefore I ended up with many repeated contacts on my phone from 4 sources (Gmail Contacts , Whatsapp Contacts?!?, Facebook and Linkedin)

I stopped the sync with Linkedin , but every single number that was synced previously is saved in my Whatsapp contacts and everytime I try to delete it says that I can't delete and it will be hidden...I openend a case with Whatsapp and I am pending them to get back to me.

When I use the (join) option to merge the contacts I end up with a very long repeated list of numbers or old numbers that I can't delete....very frustrating.

I tried using third party contacts apps and ended up with too many duplications.

I did send a feedback to amazon about this, advised them to take a look at the HTC contacts app for inspiration as it really outstanding...if by the end of this year they dont fix this phone I am ditching it and getting either iPhone 6s, Samsung S6 Edge or HTC

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syn Ack:
Questions:

Why does it take forever to install ANY app?

Why is the camera so laggy? Did they really consider this as a production release?

How can I disable encryption? I really feel like the phone would open up without it.

How much thinner does the 6P feel than the 5X? I went from an S6 Edge to the 5X and the 5X feels like a thick plastic brick.

Concerns:

Super slow app install

Screen is average

Speaker quality and volume is atrocious

It's bigger than you think it is

Off screen notifications (like Moto) is nowhere near as good

Cellular antenna is lower quality than my S6

If anyone else has any questions let me know. I am seriously considering trading this in for a 6P (even though I hate huge phones) or just returning it altogether and keeping my S6.

After all of this thinking, I just wish Samsung and Google could do Google Play edition phones again. Samsung seems to get it right in the design and hardware perspective, and Google obviously gets it right with software.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withdrawn:
I feel exactly the same as you do in this respect. But comparing the 5x to the Galaxy s6 is not entirely fair as one is a premium £500+ phone, whilst the other is considered a mid tier budget handset.

I've been comparing it to the Nexus 5, which the 5x is supposed to be a successor to. But I'm underwhelmed and disappointed, especially in respects to the sound/audio quality, the hard plastic and the stuttered performance.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syn Ack:
I agree it isn't fair to compare the design to a phone nearly twice it's price. But it is all that I have to compare to, so it was done. I wish the 6P could've came in the 5X size. I would've even paid the same price.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Disabling the encryption will require a custom kernel I believe(and a wipe of your data). On the Nexus 6 it was like a one line code change and someone always posted one almost immediately after an update was released. Since rooting also requires a custom kernel on marshmallow I would imagine we'll see them pop up fairly quickly.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withdrawn:
Me too. That would have been awesome if the only difference between both models were the screen sizes! Similar to the Iphone 6 and 6plus i guess.

But such is google and such is life :(

But back to the 5x, there really in not an excuse for the poor audio/sound. I cannot get over how bad and low it is, headphoned and without! I keep thinking.. wait.. is this some sort of joke or a prank or something by google!

But I have to accept facts. I think I will be returning it to be honest..
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimv1983:
I wondering if you have a faulty phone.

1. Apps don't seem to install slow for me unless they are very large. Even then it isn't super long.

2. I haven't experienced any lag with the camera so far. The app opens pretty quickly and takes pictures as fast as I can tap the button.

3. Not sure how to disable encryption but I do know that it requires a full wipe of the phone.

4. The Nexus 5X is only 0.9mm thicker than the S6 Edge and doesn't feel thick to me at all. I actually wish it was like 10-11mm with a HUGE battery. I've never understood this obsession with super thin phones.

The screen looks great, very sharp, gets more than bright enough and colors are accurate. I would prefer an AMOLED but not too upset about it. The speaker quality and volume aren't super fantastic but far from being "atrocious". It's about what I would expect from a speaker that's tiny enough to fit in a smartphone and it's better than the Nexus 5 for sure. I haven't used the Moto display notifications enough to make a comparison but the Ambient display feature is pretty nice so far. I also haven't noticed any issues with antenna quality but I haven't been in very low reception areas yet.

And the best part about the Nexus 5X compared to the Galaxy S6 is that you don't have to put up with that god awful TouchWiz garbage. You get PURE Android instead of Samsung's bastardized excuse for "Android".

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

I would have liked the Nexus 6P in the size of the Nexus 5X too or preferably smaller like a 5.2" screen with very slim bezels but I'd still rather have the Snapdragon 808 over the Snapdragon 810 which, even with revision 2.1 still has heating and throttling issues.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
All of the "bad characteristics" of the 810 are present in the 808. In fact, the 808 basically *is* an 810 with a few parts that didn't pass testing having been disabled.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimv1983:
It's my understanding that those few parts that were disabled were the same things causing the issues on the 810. On one of the threads here someone someone was talking about disabled some cores and underclocking to effectively turn the 810 into an 808 and resolve the issues the 810 is known for.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
The 810 never actually had such an issue that you could solve it like that. True it eats lots of power, makes lots of heat, and is forced to scale back to lower frequencies and *automatically shut off cores*. Until they start putting a cooling fan in phones, ALL CPUs will respond this way when they work hard and get hot. This is normal and expected behavior. The only thing with the SD810, is that it has a pack of Cortex A57's, which, regardless of who stamps them out into what SoC, are going to do the exact same thing.

But you can't SOLVE the "problem" by turning off 2 cores, since it does that *automatically* when it gets too hot.

Not that this improves matters for the 808, since those two A57's are more than enough to hit the temperature limit after a few seconds of running hard. Just that its a few *more* seconds than the 810... but the 810 gets more work done in that time.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerg004:
Question: without an SD card and only internal storage, how will we be able to back up (eg Titanium Backup, Nova settings etc) without losing said backups in a data wipe when flashing roms?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimv1983:
But if you are underclocking then the CPU is less likely to get to the point where it has shut some things down. With 2 cores disabled from the start and the remaining cores under clocked it does make it better. From what I understand the 810, which gets to that point much faster, will actually become worse than the 808 once it gets to the point where it has to scale back.
