IPhone 4S to vibrate?

Can you set the iPhone to vibrate when you are typing a text message or just when you touch anything on the phone menu like you can do with ANY OTHER phone that is a touch screen?

You have gone to Settings > Sounds and the volume is set at a high level, you have selected a Ringtone for the sound, and it still does not ring? Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
If that does not help, visit an Apple store genius bar and have the iPhone tested to see if there is a hardware failure.

IPhone 5 stopped vibrating

Hello, all.
Last night my iPhone 5 stopped vibrating. I've had it just about a year now. I've looked through other threads for a solution to this problem but I haven't found one that works consistently. One thread told me to smack the rear upper left corner of my phone (which seemed a bit strange seeing as I shouldn't have to smack an expensive piece of technology in order to get it to work properly) and that works for a minute or so. Sometimes my phone will vibrate but that is very rare and sporadic. If I put my ear close to that same area, I can hear a click when the phone is supposed to vibrate which leads me to believe there is a hardware problem and I will most likely have to go to the Apple Store to get it fixed. Here are my questions:
- Is there anyone who has had a problem similar to this and if so what did you do to fix it?
- Are there any alternatives to paying to get it fixed? (iPhone repair isn't exactly in my college-student budget right now.)
- How much does it cost to fix something like this? Unfortunately, I don't have insurance.
Thank you so much!

Just wanted to post a final statement about the issue I was having.
First off, I have discovered that Apple has a recall on the iPhone 5 model for having issues with the wake/sleep button which I was also having.
I opted to get the ribbon cable needed to fix my phone and do the work myself.
Turns out the vibrator was not working due to the ribbon cable being torn. When assembled from the factory, the glue that secures the battery in place also got on the ribbon cable and it seems had put a crease in the cable.
Once I replaced the cable, my wake/sleep button and vibrator issues were fixed.
Just thought I would update for others to see how I solved the issue.

IPhone now only vibrating a few times?

When I got a phone call, my iPhone 5 would vibrate until the call went to voicemail, or until I hit the lock button. Now it seems it is vibrating only a few times (I want to say four times) until it just stops vibrating - but the call is still going. I keep mistakenly thinking that they hung up! The text vibrates are working fine.
Has this been an issue for anyone and how did you fix it? Thanks

You can set different vibration patterns and lengths.
If you go to Settings>Sounds and touch the "Vibration" setting you will see them.
The default is "Alert" which I believe keeps vibrating until the call is answered or hung up.

Anytime i plug a charger into my iphone . It vibrates , How doI stop this. I've tried several ways

Anytime i plug a charger into my iphone . It vibrates , How doI stop this. I've tried several ways

No way to completely stop it. When you plug in the power cord, it will chime, or it will vibrate (if the mute switch is on), but the device is designed to one of the other. I suppose it is the designers way of making sure that you know your device is properly connected and has switched over to external power. At this point in time, that feature cannot be disabled.

IPhone 4 quit vibrating n can not get it to work with ibrate

Can any one help me my iPhone 4 quit vibrating n I can't get to work

Hey Little poignant,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4 is no longer vibrating, let's double check the settings to make sure everything is configured properly.
Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Ring (Make sure this is ON)
Settings > Sounds > Vibrate on Silent (Make sure this is ON)
Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > Vibration (Make sure this is not set to "None")
If the above settings are configured properly, we'll need to isolate this issue further. I recommend restoring your iPhone as outlined in this article:

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

My iPhone just stopped vibrating when getting incoming emails...

My iPhone just stopped vibrating when getting incoming emails... Yesterday everytime i got an email, my phone would vibrate, and now, its on vibrate and it doesnt vibrate with new emails, does anyone know how to correct this?

Mine does the same thing, and it also bleeds over into the email tone as well. It works for a while and then it suddenly stops. Turning the phone off and back on fixes it for a while, but it's a pain.

My iphone 3 keeps vibrating and reciving no text or call how do i fix this

my iphone 3 keeps vibrating and reciving no text or call how do i fix this?

It's possible that number was used for iMessage by someone else - I think phone numbers get "recycled," if you will, and inactive numbers get re-used after a period of time.
Have your friend contact Apple and see if they can help get the number removed.

Iphone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications in iOS 7.1

My iPhone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications and no sound ever since the 7.1 update. Has this happened to anyone else?

This happens to me too. Normally when it is off, a few minutes after it turns off it randomly vibrates. I have an iPhone 5 32GB Black.

HT4528 iphone doesn't vibrate

My iphone does not vibrate any more.. any suggestions

My vibrator is broken!!!
Just wanted to add my story to the list of non-vibrating iphone users.
Two or three times it vibrated as if something was loose inside, like a honda civic with too much bass in the sound system. (You know... sounds like the car is going to vibrate itself apart... liscence plate rattling, that sort of noise.)
Then this morning... no vibration at all.
I will be taking it to the apple store with applecare warranty in hand for a brand new unit.
First, I must sync it at home and erase all data. When you hand in your phone remerber to erase all data. We keep way too much important info on our devices nowadays.

Take it to any Apple Store for a Free Evaluation. Be sure to make an Appointment first.

My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?

- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again

For some time now my iPhone 4S is vibrating as if a message or alert has come through but nothing is actually happening on the phone. this seems to be at fairly random times. I have checked all the Notifications and settings but cannot figure it out. Does anyone maybe have any suggestions? thanks!

Update to this. It seems to be doing it on the hour. I have no idea how to set this to turn off though??

My iPhone 4 is vibrating constantly but will not turn on or turn off. How can I reboot it (holding on/off button does not work)?

Why is my iPhone 5S randomly vibrating?

Since getting my new iPhone 5S a few days ago, it has been continually randomly playing a Ding tone like I was getting an incoming e-mail message. I checked all of my apps and their sounds, and the general sounds, and it appeared that the only app that played a Ding tone is my Mail app for my iCloud.com account. I then changed that Ding tone to be None and now it randomly vibrates rather than playing the Ding tone, so I am pretty sure it is related to the Mail app. I have checked several times when I heard that tone to be sure I had not gotten a new e-mail message and that was not the case.
Is there somewhere I have not looked that would be causing this behavior?

Jonathan,
Does this only happen while you a plugged in? If so look at your battery icon, you will probably notice that it is grey. If you wiggle the chord you will see that it goes to green and the lightening bolt appears. When the lightening bolt appears the tone it vibration happens. The reason it happens randomly when you don't wiggle it is because it's getting that connection on its own.
My iPhone 5s just started doing this today. While the phone is unplugged from the USB cable. Attempt a reset on your phone by holding down the power button on the top and the home button on the front together for about 3-5 seconds, the phone should automatically power cycle. In addition attempt to charge with a different chord. If you have a case on your phone that has the flap to cover the charging port when it is unplugged, rove the case to make sure that flap isn't pressing on the charger. Those are the steps that I am following right now. My battery icon is still grey do I continue to search for the next steps. If I find more I will post it here. I hope some of that helps.

IPhone no longer vibrates

Heya all-
Within the past 2 weeks, the vibrate on my iPhone began to get weaker and weaker. About a week ago, it stopped altogether. Now, I treat this phone extremely well, so it wasn't dropped or anything along those lines. I've read around that, if you shake it hard enough or give it a little "love tap", the motor, which seems to get stuck, will free up. I've been able to get it to work by doing that, but it'll stop after 2-3 vibrations.
I've tried restoring from a backup and doing a fresh restore, and it's still the same. Any other ideas? I don't have any extra warranty (just the 1-year that came with the phone), so I don't wanna get screwed by the dudes at the Genius Bar telling me that I'm out of luck.
Thanks!

I had that problem. Mine just stopped working one day, I never noticed it getting weaker. I have the extra 2-yr warranty plan through apple and took it to the apple store. They exchanged it, and the new one has worked fine since. Although I am getting reception problems now after the 2.0 update.
If its still under warranty then take it back.
