My iPhone 5 quit vibrating when it rings or on silent

I have had my iPhone 5 for four days and now the vibrate feature has quit. Both on ringer and on silent. Any ideas?

On iPhone 5 32GB black, the vibration motor seems to be defective. It stopped working altogether a few days ago, before that it would vibrate just a little (for a call) then quit. Now, no vibration at all.
Tested by going into settings --> sounds --> ringtone --> vibration and trying all the options there. Also tried custom vibration but still no vibration at all.
Reset phone (power and home buttons), also restored to iOS 6.0.1. Still no vibration. Seems to be a hardware issue unless there is a known bug in iOS 6.0.1.
Have a Genius Bar appt for Saturday. I guess we will see.

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:

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.

Some times my iphone 4s hanging ,stop when someone ring me and the screen doesnt work or unlock

Please don't post duplicate threads. Answered in your other post.

I've put my phone on silent and when it rings it's silent and doesn't vibrate which is what I want, but when I get a text it makes a beep noise but I want this to be silent too. How can I make it silent? Is there a way to do it without using the DND?

I want my phone to be completely silent. If I flick it on to wilent it doesn't vobrate when it rings which is great and it doesn't vibrate when a message comes through. However, it does beep when a text comes through which I don't want, plus I don't know why it beeps as that isn't my normal text tone anyway. But I just want it to be silent. I'm not too keen to use the DND function if I dont have too.

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

My iphone won't vibrate when some one phones me and all the virbaraton alerts are on

i need help urgently

Thanks for the reply, in addition to the mentioned above things. I have reset, restarted, and this morning did my first restore from the itunes menu then I backed up from my previous back up.
My problem is still the same, it vibrates on the imessage screen but I have no vibration at any time from any home screen, lock screen, or when it's blank. From either silent or ring setting.
When I go to my settings I can see the different vibrations and my phone DOES vibrate, it just is not vibrating when it should.
I did do this when I first got my phone and I have only had it 5 days and now it doesn't.
Is it time to take it in?

My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

Hey Ciara,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

Can I get the iPhone to just vibrate when I get a call?

It seems for the phone to vibrate you need to have a ringtone on. Turn off the ringtone and it doesn't vibrate. I tested it both ways. *****. My old verizon phone would vibrate letting me know someone left a message or texted me without ringing.
Helpful if in movie or meeting.

Use the switch on the side of the phone, above the volume rocker. That sets the iPhone to silent mode. If Settings > Sounds > Silent has vibrate ON, the phone will vibrate for incoming calls/email/SMS/etc. in silent mode. If OFF, it will be silent. It will not silence alarms set on the iPhone Clock app, but all else is vibrate or silent.

My iPhone 4 takes pictures when phone rings and alarm goes off.

My camera flash goes off when I receive an incoming call and when my alarm goes off.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

My phone won't keep the battery percentage on and it keeps changing to vibrate when I have it on silent. Also when I try to clear space for the new update it gives me less storag

MHmu phone isn't working properly and I don't know how to fix it

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

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.

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.

Check http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419 and be sure both ends of the connection are properly updated.

My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot. Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket. How can this be happening?

Protective cover as in screen protector? This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

IPhone 4 - my phone doesn't "ring"... Speaker plays, it works on vibrate, and when you set the ringer, it will play. Just not when an incoming call comes in. Any thoughts?

Check the position of the mute switch. On the side, just above the volume keys.
