Vibration Test
Test your smartphone's haptic feedback motor using standard or custom vibration patterns.
Enter comma-separated millisecond values. Odd indices (1st, 3rd) are vibration duration. Even indices (2nd, 4th) are pause duration.
Understanding Mobile Haptics, Taptic Engines & Vibration Diagnostics
The vibration motor (or haptic engine) inside modern smartphones and tablets is one of the most mechanically vulnerable components. Providing crucial tactile feedback for virtual keyboard typing, incoming phone calls, alarm notifications, and mobile gaming rumble, these tiny electromagnetic actuators endure thousands of actuations every day. Physical shocks from drops or moisture ingress can cause the internal spring coils to jam, weaken, or disconnect entirely. Our online vibration tester allows you to send direct, raw oscillation signals to your device's vibration motor to verify its responsiveness, strength, and mechanical health instantly. Regular diagnostic verification ensures that your hardware operates at peak factory specifications and delivers reliable performance across gaming and professional tasks.
Vibration API Support & Platform Restrictions (Android vs. iOS)
This tool utilizes the standardized W3C Web Vibration API (`navigator.vibrate`), which is fully supported on modern Android browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Samsung Internet, and Opera. However, Apple strictly disables the Web Vibration API across all web browsers on iOS (including Safari and Chrome for iOS) as a security and power management policy. If you are testing an iPhone or iPad, the browser cannot trigger the Taptic Engine due to Apple's operating system restrictions. Utilizing standardized browser benchmarks eliminates the guesswork from troubleshooting, giving you real-time data to optimize your setup without third-party software.
Custom Vibration Patterns & Haptic Precision Testing
Our tester offers both continuous vibration loops and custom rhythmic sequences (such as the standard SOS Morse code pattern `[100, 30, 100, 30, 100, 200, 200, 30, 200, 30, 200, 200, 100, 30, 100, 30, 100]`). By testing complex cadence bursts with millisecond precision, you can determine whether your haptic actuator has crisp actuation with fast dampening or if it produces sluggish, 'mushy' vibrations indicating mechanical wear.
