Minute:seconds of what you're referring to in that video?

Can't say mine sounded funny or anything, just the usual annoying, battery wasting vibration like other phones... ?

Well that's good at least. Does it really sound like a rock rolling around in there though? It really does like its broke in the video.
I've been using two unit and both of them has crappy call notification as MKBHD review, but haptic feedback seems really normal.

The vibration even when just typing sounds pretty crappy on my razer and extremely off when compared to every other phone I've ever used. Other than that though the only complaint I have is the Android system seems to be using up way more battery than expected even when not doing anything like just over night it went from ~60% to around 40% just on standby.

I've got 2 phones here, don't hear the haptic feedback at all, it's working though.

I'm betting ya got a bad unit.
Battery could be bad but might be software ya got installed. Or have ya done the latest update?
Here's what I've had so far, battery life is great.

Yeah I have the latest update and it's like the haptic almost squeaks while typing. Ugh, I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with sending it back if it just happened to be the norm.

Also are you using Bluetooth because I have it connected to my Moto 360 2 which might be the difference in battery life

Updated mine with the update and not the 2nd phone. Haptic feedback still operational but no noises other than the slight hum you hear with holding anything with a vibration mode. (normal)
Certainly don't hear anything that might be described as squeaks or rattles. :/

Don't sweat it though. If ya rma it they're pretty fair, though I wouldn't let them talk you into any extended responses to allow them passed the 15 day return window. I'm a firm believer that return windows should be 1-2 months. There's just no way to fully vet a piece of hardware in 15 days unless that's all you're doing. (but most people have a job to go to)
Also with the rma they pay for shipping. I myself though turned my rma into a return for the speaker crackle and am just going to buy it from amazon. It's here in the US already and prime allows for more. Assurant is offering extended warranties as well for 162$ and 99 deductible. (though I think Upsie is cheaper; not familiar with either experience in the event of a warranty claim unfortunately)

And I have not used enough bluetooth yet on the device to be a good response for ya. Sorry. Only connected to a headset and keyboard/mouse the other to test connectivity, so I've yet to discover how it does with lengthy connection sessions.

I wasn't the only person who thought haptic feedback sounded weird on my phone so I went ahead and sent an email to support. I guess we'll see how that goes.
