IPhone takes a moment to vibrate when turned on silent mode

When I click the little switch on the left side of the iPhone it doesn't vibrate right away it takes a few seconds, my moms iPhone and friends iPhone both do it instantly. I've tried closing all my apps but it still does it, any way to fix this?

I went into settings and changed the vibrate setting to only vibrate in silent mode, and when i put it in silent mode it doesn't vibrate. The only time it will vibrate in silent mode is if i have it set to vibrate all the time which i don't want. Any help would be appreciated it. I just got my phone last week so i'm still fairly new at it.
Also on a side note does anyone notice the in call volume being slightly lower, or is it just me. My old phone when I had my in call volume maxed out i could hold the phone away from my ear and hear them clear as day. With this phone i have to have the phone pressed against my ear to hear clearly. I didn't know if that was a 2.2 issue or what because all my other speakers work great and are very loud I had to actually turn down my media speaker. Thanks again God Bless.
I may can help you with this but it would be easier if I knew what alert you are wanting to vibrate because as reported in other post that there is a number of settings for the device to alert you.
1. Check Setting/Sound/Vibrate and change setting to Vibrate "Only in Silent Mode"
2. Under Messaging click Account Name/Left Menu Key/Email Setting/Notifications/Check Vibrate...This option is listed under all accounts listed under Messaging ececpt SMS.
3. For Gmail has to goto to Gmail/Left Menu Key/More/Settings/Vibrate/Only When Silent
If this doesnt resolve issue, you may want to look into Audio Manager or WidgetLocker, I use both of these and I never have to worry about the vibrate option because Audio Manager places all volume options in one place and WidgetLocker allows you to toggle from Ring-Silent-Vibrate just by swiping a slider on lock screen. Hope this helps you.

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

No volume on Videos when phone in Silent mode.

When my iPhone is in silent mode and I play a video there's no volume (even though the volume is turned up on the video) the only way to get volume is to flick the switch and put the phone on loud. Then have to come out of the video and go back in to hear volume sure it didn't used to be like this..

I have experienced a similar problem, I had sound for about 30 s, while playing movies, then the screen froze for 2s and then it continued playing, but without sound.
I restored my Ipod, and then updated it, and then everything worked fine.
It was very strange, I think I might disconnect my Ipod too soon while updating him the first time
Hope this has been helpful

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. Then give it a try.

Can I turn off Silent mode all together

When I go on call I find that out of force of habit (or just plain accident) I will put my phone on silent. Now this can be disasterous if I am callled by work for 24/7 support.
I am looking for a way to do any of these:
1. Can disable the toggle on the side of the phone that switches mode between silent and normal.
2. Can disbale silent alltogether .
3. Allows my phone to ring (with sound and everything) in silent mode.
The do not disturb fuction doesn't help me because an uknown number could call me for support.
Cheers

IPhone 4S went black, keeps vibrating when plugged in

My iPhone 4S went black, I tried to do a reset, held home and power button, but did not work. I plugged it in, and still nothing except it continues to vibrate every 3 seconds. I tried a reset while plugged in and nothing, screen stays black and it just vibrates. As soon as I unplug it the vibration stops.
I figure I'll go into Verizon tomorrow, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just clicked both the home button and the lock one at the same time and it went to voice control then turned off and turned back on. Might not work for everyone though

Turn off silent mode for V.I.P`s

Ok this may sound odd but I am trying to figure out how to make a certain number audible while my phone is on silent mode. Reason being I'm on call for work a lot, sometimes while I'm sleeping. So I don’t want my phone making sounds (notifications, calls, etc) except for ONE number (work) calling me. Anyone know how to do this???

You cant' do that.

N8 Belle Camera tone cannot turn to silent

After update N8 Anna to Belle when turn to silent mode camera tone still got sounds.

open camera, press the 3 dot button, open settings, then camera tone, scroll down and there is 'off'.
Well spotted as it can be easily overlooked that "Off" is just offscreen with Camera 1 - 4 being visible by default.....should have gone to Specsavers!

My phone will not vibrate when I switch to vibrate

My iphone does not vibrate when turned to vibrate. How do I rectify that?

For IOS 7.0.6 and IPhones 5S
I spoke with a Tier 3 Apple Tech yesterday..
I followed her instructions and did the same on all three of my IPhone 5S phones. The problem was immediately resovled and fixed on all of them. It has not recurred.
That side button, above the volume controls must be showing orange.
In SETTINGS:
1. Go to Sound,
2. Under VIBRATE - make your choices on whether you want to "Vibrate on Ring" and/or "Vibrate on Silent."
3. Go to RINGER and ALERTS (right under VIBRATE).
4. Under CHANGE WITH BUTTONS - make sure you're showing the green part of the slider.
Then as long as you have a ringer tone and a vibrate tone selected, exit out of there.
If your phone's side button (the "silence" button) is showing orange, you should have no problems and everything working as you want, just as I did.
If your phone's side button (the "silence" button) is not in the orange postion, your status quo before all of the above should remain in effect.
Again, this "silence" button is directly above the volume buttons on an IPhone 5S.
Hope this helps.

My phone vibrates when ringing but no sound comes out . When i go in to settings and choose a ring tone it plays then but not when getting a call, the silent switch on the side has also stoped vibrating when swithed on or off

My phone only vibrated when i have a call be no sound comes out .in the settings it produces sound when i choose a ring tone ! The silence button on the side would vibrate when turned on or off but this also no longer does this !
Im not very good with tech so bare with me

Also before this the phone wasnt picking up any signal so it worked basically as an ipod.
How much would it cost to repair this problem?

Hello ozzy9294,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Best of luck,
Mario

Hi Ellen,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Take care,
-Jason

Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall charger. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

My iPhone 4S won't turn on and continues to vibrate when charging

My iPhone 4S will not start and when i charge it, it continues to vibrate. I don't know what to do.. Any ideas??

Sorry, but we can't help you with problems occurring after you have opened and tried to fix some hardware of the phone, due to the Terms of Use of these discussions.
The warranty for the phone is gone now and Apple will not service the phone either anymore. You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair center to get that fixed.
