IPhone 3G no longer vibrates... HELP!

As the title suggests, my iPhone doesn't seem to be vibrating anymore at all. I've tried changing various settings, switching the vibrate switch on and off, restarting the phone, doing a hard reset (by holding down the home and standby buttons at the same time) and nothing has worked.
I have a major problem with this because I generally keep it set on vibrate mode and without it, I can't tell if i'm being called or texted or anything.
Does anybody know if there's a way to fix this? It only started happening today, and I haven't dropped the phone or anything at all. Is this a bug with 3.0 maybe, or is my hardware physically screwed?

yeah i could try a restore from backup but I'm pretty sure my warranty is over since I've had this thing since the 3G launch last year.

  • My iPhone 4S no longer vibrates or rings when I get messages or calls. Help meeee

    I didn't drop it or anything. And now I am sad and my friends and family think I don't love them because I never respond to their messages or answer their calls. Mer.

    Before spending money or considering an upgrade, try basic troubleshooting.
    From the User's Guide, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

  • IPhone 4 error in vibration - Help!

    Just upgraded the version 4.2.1.
    Now, when I set my iphone to "Silent" mode, it would vibrate when there is an incoming call or when there is an incoming message. When I am on the line, if there is an incoming message, it would also vibrate!
    This should not happen, since the iphone is placed at my ears!
    Could someone help?

    Settings > Sounds. At the top, you'll see "Silent" with a Vibrate On/Off option. This is for vibration when in silent mode. Below that is Ringer And Alerts. One of the options is Vibrate On/Off. This should be for vibration when NOT in silent mode.
    Does that help?

  • Unlocked iphone wont ring only vibrates help!!

    i recently got a unlocked iphone still works fine but now doesnt ring only vibrates can any one help me??

    We do not help people with unlocked iPhones.
    Make sure the switch on the side is set to ring, go to settings and make sure the sound is up and ring is on and all.
    Other than that try to google a forum that deals with hacks.

  • My Iphone 5 no longer vibrates since I upgraded to IOS 7. All the settings look to be set correctly

    I updated to IOS 7 this weekend and now my phone does not vibrate. I checked everything in settings and it all looks to be correct. It is annoying. Now I can't know when I get a message or call phone my wife because I can't feel the phone vibrate at work. Annoying upgrade if this does not get fixed soon.

    I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
    The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
    I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
    I am not sure but  it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

    My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
    I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
    I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
    My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
    I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
    Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
    Gary

    1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
    2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
    3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
    anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

    My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable.  When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

    My iPhone 4 no longer appears in iTunes. But it does charge. Tried most tips please help someone!

    Hi there,
    No I didn't. Someone suggested in another thread that my iPod was registering as a disk instead of a device, so if I removed my iPod as a disk on Disk Utility then it would reload etc. and show up in iTunes. Which it didn't, and instead just cleared all my music (16,000 songs).
    So frustrating.
    Hope if you have the same problem you are able to find a better solution!

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • How long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s, how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s

    how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s, how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s

    Thanks Caramby.  I actually found another work-around
    Here's how to copy the voice memo to your laptop (and then email it if you need to):
    With iTunes open on the Voice Memo folder of your device (an iPhone 4s in my case), simply drag the required file from iTunes and onto the desktop of your pc/laptop.  It won't remove the file from your device but simply make a copy.   Then you can play the file from your pc/laptop (through Quicktime) as the file is in AAC format.  You can also attach the file to an email for sending.
    Hope this helps someone else.
