Vibrate Issues?

It may or may not be the same hardware for different models, but the principle is the same.

There may also be other models which by use of a different vibrator, are less susceptible to the problem.

THX but I think we all know how a vibrator works. Seriously though, we know it is a phyical issue as 'bumping' causes the minute clearances needed for the motor to spin. Please lets not get into the type or rotating device we have (whether it be bearing [which I doubt seriously] or brushless [which is about what every cheap motor is now-a-days] and how the counterweight drives the force in causing the 'vibe'. Many people have said that by revong the battery and replacing it seems to cause the issue to go away for some time. There are many pics of the device disassembled on the net so we know where the motor is at. Bottom line in my opinion, the motor is about as good as the camera in the so-called 'top of the line' phone.
