My original evo was a revision 002. I needed a new one because my front camera has a red mark on it (no light leakage or separation issues). My rev 003 model showed up today and it has to go back (without even activating it). The vibrate is waaaay louder and has an audible buzz to it. It was the absolute first thing I noticed. My 002 is quiet and just vibrates, the 003 I have literally buzzes.

I wonder if this is just an anomaly, or if any of you can chime in on this....is your 003 EVO's vibrate really 'buzzy'
 
my 003 is really buzzy and its pretty annoying, actually thought about making this same thread

Good thing you didn't make a thread gt33, obviously you and I are simply imagining things, or our intense 'OCD' is getting the better of us. Its natural for the phone vibrate to be audible across the room, even though the 'old' EVO is not that loud, but is felt just as much.

Louder vibration is good, since most devices now have wimpy vibration and hard to notice unless quiet and in your pocket.

Maybe if you want to HEAR your phone you should enable the speaker:rolleyes:?

Speaker is to be HEARD
Vibrate is to be FELT

A correct vibrate function is meant to be felt, not heard.

Just because you can HEAR it does not mean it is felt more!!!!!!!

Wouldn't that really depend on what the phone is resting on at the time it vibrates? When I put my EVO on my wooden nightstand next to the bed, and it vibrates, I can hear that across the room. Guess I need to return it because its just "to vibratey" or "incompatible with wooden furniture."
