Iphone 5 doesn't vibrate anymore

I've had my i5 for five months now, and about three months ago, it started having an issue with the vibrate when on silent. At first I didn't notice too much as it seemed to only do it randomly, but now my i5 no longer vibrates at all. At first it was just when it was on silent, but now its all the time. I have read some forums about setting a custom vibrate, or doing a hard reset on the phone which I have done but nothing works. What else can I do, other than going and spending two hours at an Apple store? I haven't downloaded the newest update, but I know that has nothing to do with it because I have downloaded other updates and it has not helped so far to date. Anybody who has any suggestions, ideas, or the same problem with a resolution is appreciated!

Thanks Resno, this was it for me.  It's confusing that there can be two ways to turn off vibrate while phone is silent; Apple might consider referencing one from the other...
And while I was there I learned about the custom vibrate tone!  Shave-and-a-haircut-two-bits for my friends!

  • My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc)

    My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
    I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
    Can somebody help me please?
    Thank you so much!

    Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
    Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

    Hi!
    Nice to meet you here. Im very new to here and joining here yesterday, so please bear with me. So since you say that your iPhone 5 home button not working or broken so time to call Apple Support or make a appointment at your location nearby Apple Store by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE so they could get a replacement for your phone so you would not have any this kind of problem anymore!

  • My iphone doesn't vibrate anymore.

    I have rebooted the phone a bunch of times to see if that was the problem, but nothing. suggestions? thank you

    Did you also reset your phone (sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again)?
    Did you check the Settings/Sound/Vibrate ->ON? Does it vibrate if you switch from ON to OFF and back again?

  • Iphone 4s doesn't vibrate after installing IOS 8.1

    My Iphone 4s, 32GB lately doesn't seem to vibrate and i suppose it is after the recent update of IOS 8.1 . It does vibrate when i do certain tasks like keying in a wrong password or when i go into Settings>Sound to ensure that vibrate is on for both 'ring' and and on silent. I have restarted(power off and on) it twice and it hasn't helped. i have also just toggled the On/off on the vibrate option, none of which worked. Iam unsure whether this problem had crept while installing IOS 8 itself, since wasn't discernible until lately as i have been getting more calls than normal due to a frenetic time at office. Kindly help with any suggestions or let me know if it is a problem specific to my phone or a software problem which will get rectified in eventual update releases. Other details : It has approx 5GB of space left. All other functions work as desired.

    Did you also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    You may try without using the latest backup first, in case it contained damaged data, causing this problem. If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • Why my iphone4 doesn't vibrate anymore when it's in silent mode?

    I checked if the vibrate modes were on & they're,  and I've been having missed calls due to this issue, how can I fix this??? Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    Thank you for replying. We have tried it using a different QR code reader and it does the same thing. It's very strange as it doesn't make sense that it would work in Indesign and also if you save it as a jpg it's still readable but as a pdf it doesn't scan. I had previously created the QR code online using a website and placed it into Indesign and that worked when it was saved out as a pdf but it created a white box around it and I prefer just the code with no background. My colleague discovered we can create one in Indesign in whatever colour which is great but am stumped by it not being readable in a pdf. I'm going to try and do the same in Illustrator and see if that works, if not I will send it over to you.
    Thank you very much.

  • The sound on my iPhone 4S doesn't work anymore.

    Hey Guys,
    I have this problem with my iPhone 4S,the sound stopped working on the speakers or even if I put the earphones in e.g. i made a video and i wanted to listen to it so i press play and i saw it won't work,i pressed the bottons on the side and it came up with the speaker sing but without the little squares,so i put my earphones in and it did work,but not for long cause when the sound stopped so did the video.Suprisinglly Siri worked perfectlly for some reason.
    Lots of people advice me to go to an apple store to let them check it out for me,but all the apple stores are very far away from me.Is there anyway i can make it work again whitout me going to the apple store?
    Thanks,

    you need to do a restore to really know. if you restore it as new and that doesnt work then go to apple to get it replaced
    Be sure to have your data back up

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • I am trying to change the Apple ID on my old iPhone 5c but it wants a password for an old Apple ID with and email that doesn't exist anymore

    MMy old iPhone 5c is wanting a password for logging into my apple account. The problem is that the email address its tied to doesn't exist anymore. I changed the email to a different one. But can't figure out how to change the email address on the phone to the new email address.

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:
