Z5 vibrating when producing sounds

[Davidogg]

Okay, so I just got the Z5 for some days ago, and I've been very pleased with it. Altho, when the phone produces sounds it's vibrating unwillingly. If I raise the volume, I feel the vibration more and more. I find this annoying because if I wath a video or playing a game the phone is constantly vibrating if I chose to have sound on. Is this normal, or is it some kind of defect on my phone?

*Also, is it normal the phone goes extreamly hot by playing some games for just a couple of minutes?

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue, too bad we have it tho. Yeah, it feels like the speaker is vibrating against the back side panel, and with louder sounds it will vibrate more.

Have you done the PCC thing uliwooly mentioned?

@uliwooly

Also, if I do the PCC, will I be able to backup my data and saves for the games I have on the phone. Or will they be lost?

My Z5P "vibrates" a tiny bit but I honestly just think it's the speakers. I also can only feel it when I'm squeezing the phone. I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary as it occured on my Z3 as well. Doubtful that restoring it will do something, but if it does do keep us updated!

So I took contact with the official Xperia Support in Sweden, and this is the chat (just took google translate).

Me: Why is vibrating when producing sound, bla bla bla...

(swedish)

Support:  Det är inget fel, utan enheten har en tunn design och ljudvågor vid högre volym kommer att kännas av vid exempelvis baksidan.

Support:  Tyvärr har jag ingen bra förklaring på exakt varför.

Me:  Aha okej. Alltså känner alla Z5-ägare dessa vibrationer när de har ljud på?

Support:  Det är nog så i de flesta modeller, oavsett märke.

Support:  Jag kan inte svara för andra märken men det är normalt i Z5 åtminstone.

Me:  Okej, för jag testade farsans nya S6 Edge, och där kände jag inte vibrationerna som i Z5. Det var därför jag blev fundersam.

Support:  Som sagt kan jag tyvärr inte svara för andra märken.

(english)

Support: There is nothing wrong, but the device has a thin design and sound waves at higher volumes will be felt for example in the back.
Support: Unfortunately I have no good explanation of exactly why.
Me: Ah okay. Thus all know Z5 owners these vibrations when they have sound on?
Support: There is like that in most models, regardless of brand.
Support: I can not answer for other brands but it is normal in Z5 at least.
Me: Okay, because I tested my dads new S6 Edge, and where I did not feel the vibrations like in the Z5. That's why I became pensive.

Support: As I said unfortunately I can not answer for other brands.

So that means every Z5-owner feels these vibrations when they listen to something on the phones speakers?

I can confirm that my Z5 also has a significant vibration of the (glass)back when playing (loud) music through the built-in speakers. And I suspect that this has a negative effekter on sound quality. But as I never listen to music through the speakers I can live with it.

I think its because the phone is water proof mean the phone is so tight so sound will make vibration to the body.. U know sound cant get out pefrectly same about the sound not louder like another phone non ingress protection.. I hope this help u question
