Please Help! Iphone wont stop vibrating!

My iphone started vibrating over 40 min ago, and will not stop. It is unresponsive, i have tried restarting it. The home and lock button are both unresponsive. I pluged it into iTunes, but it doesn't even connect. I only had 18% battery, i thought i could just wait for it to die and restart it, but it still hasn't died. Any advice?

If you have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5, you're probably already syncing to iCloud. You can check by going to settings in your phone. If you don't have that, or don't want to turn on iCloud, below is what I did:
To back up your contacts:
Connect your phone to the computer you usually sync with
Go to the info tab and choose Sync Contacts with... (I'd suggest Google)
Make sure to copy any pictures and apps.
Once you get a new phone, the apple techs will give you directions, but basically, it's the same thing. Connect your phone, go to info, and then scroll down to advanced and choose replace.
From my experience and the techs I spoke with, the vibrating thing is usually a symptom of a bigger problem. Apple will probably want to wait to replace until you have a second problem (another vibrating issue, turning off, whatever), but if you go to them now, even if they don't replace immediately they'll have a record of it when you show up with a second problem. It's probably not a bad idea to have a backup of your data just in case though, because these phones seem to have a knack for not working when you most need it.
Good luck!

  • Iphone wont stop vibrating

    Hi guys,
    So recently my iPhone 5C started vibrating after receiving a message over fb messenger and ever since it wont stop vibraing, i have hard-reset the phone several times, i have restored the phone, eraised all content, set up as a new iphone, done the lock,home and up volume button on reset, and it still persists to vibrate.
    Do you have any other suggestions i can use to try to get the phone to stop vibrating its really annoying, thanks!

  • Please help - mail wont stop pushing

    I've read several places that to save battery life, disable push.
    Well I have disabled push. My yahoo mail is set to fetch, 30 min. Also advanced is set to fetch. And the push "slider" is off.
    However, I still get mail pushed down within minutes.
    I want to maximize battery and don't feel the need to have it pushed right away. 30 min would be fine.
    I've looked allover and cannot find resolution. Can someone clear this up for me?
    Thank you.

    I understand, however it does it even while the mail app is not open.
    I've heard some apps say running in the background. Is it possible its leaving the program open? If so, would that cause it?
    I dont think so because just because its open (if it even is) then why would it constantly fetch?
    Either way, push IS off, and I get email instantly. I have set to 30 and 60 min with no change.
    Thanks

  • 3GS wont stop vibrating after incoming call in cars bluetooth device.

    Hi there.
    Every time i have an incoming call in my car using bluetooth, my iphone wont stop vibrating until I either switch it off in the settings or reboot the iphone.
    This is a bit of a pain.
    Does anyone have any idea on why its doin this?
    The bluetooth reciever is built into my Ford Focus. Hopefully its not a compatibility issue.
    Many Thanks!!!

    Definitely not normal behavior. Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). Else, perform a Restore (from backup so no data are lost).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • PLEASE HELP MY CHARGER STOPPED WORKING - iPHONE 5S

    Can anyone please help me!
    I brought an Iphone 5s less than a month ago and my charger was fine, i have never synced it with my computer until yesterday because i set it up as a new phone rather than backing up my previous one. Yesterday i finally used the USB chord from the wall charger in my Mac pro to sync photos and now since then the USB wont charge my phone AT ALL when its in the wall charger?! What happened?!! How do i fix this? It will still charge it when its pluged into my computer but nowhere else. Ive even restored my phone and i cant get anything to work! I know its under warrantee so if all else fails i can get it replaced but its such a hassle to go through that process, am i missing something? have i done something or can this be fixed? anyone else had this problem or is it just outright faulty?! PLEASE HELP!!

    You can take it to a retail store and see about getting it replaced and since you haven't had it more than a year it would be covered under your warranty

  • Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

    People please help me out!  I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
    I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB).  I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video.  I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
    Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
    Uninstall Quicktime
    Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
    Reset the iPod (several times)
    Delete TEMP files on computer
    Restart the computer (several times)
    Use a different cable and a different USB port
    The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors.  My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
    PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
    Thanks very much!

    It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
    Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
    If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:

  • Iphone 4 has blown up please help, Iphone 4 has blown up please help

    Hi i have had my iphone 4 for 18 months i have plugged it into charge and left it as i usually do, there was a huge bang and a flash and the plug and phone flew across the room. th eplug had snapped in half and was black.
    my phone is not responding to anything it just keeps on vibrating and is that hot i can not touch it. im with vodafone i rang them and they said try and put it outside to cool it down and switch it off.

    please help any feedback is welcome. thanks
    Sam

    As I see it, you have two options...
    Buy a new phone.
    Take your iP4 to Apple and see what they say but don't expect anything since it's out of warranty.
