Vibration Issues

I have an 4GB model I bought back in July 2007.
Recently whevener I put my phone in vibration mode, sometimes it won't take and alternate between vibrate and no vibrate even with the switch in vibrate mode. It sometimes happens when I turn the vibrate function off through the switch, that it will go back and forth between vibrate/sound.
Can this be repaired or am I just out of luck?
Thanks!

I have posted an answer to this many times before... perhaps you have not done a proper search.... anywayz,
hold the phone with one hand, and firmly tap the side of the phone with your other hand. now try the vibrate mode. mine did this one time as did other owners' iPhones. seems that the vibrate motor got hung up, and the tap to the side frees it..
however, some have had issues with their silence switches. I noticed mine was stuck when turning on the vibrate mode in the settings. have not had a problem since!

5800: vibration issue

Hi everyone, sorry for my very bad english (I'm italian...eheheh).
I have an 5800 with 31.0.101 FW (it's the last update for my product code) and it has a strange problem related to the vibration of arriving sms or calls, not the touchscreen vibration.
I noticed that after some hours that it's turned on, the vibration stops working, and this happens in silent mode (obviously with vibration activated) and in all other modes with a ring activated. To resolve this problem i have to restart the phone, turning it off and then on. But after some hours this happens again.
I tried to do Hard Reset and reinstalling the firmware, but after 1-2 days same problem.
The secretary of customer support in my town told me it's an hardware problem and the phone have to be sent to Nokia Italy for at least 2-3 weeks for repairing, but I think it's a software or firmware issues, otherwise the vibration will not work for nothing.
What I have to do? Waiting for new fw update for my phone, hoping that this will resolve this problem, or sending to Nokia? I need help!!!! :-(

Since you already tried a hard reset, try it without a memory card. It maybe that system files on the card are corrupt. However if nothing helps, you really have to send it.

Lumia 720 Jumping and Vibration issue.

Hi, my Lumia 720, bought 10 days back is automatically vibrating and jumping between windows, to bing and home screen, and stopping at app switcher screen or home screen, and touch stops working(display and 3 keys). It works only after I press power on/off. Initially its occurance was less frequent but now its more often. Did reset, contacted nokia care and they reinstalled the OS. Yet, its happening. Please advise on this.

My Lumia 720 which I bought recently suffers from a strange behaviour. It starts vibrating suddenly, wildly and on its own without any provocation and after jumping several screens in quick succession, stops at Bing. This activity lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to half a minute. During this time, everything that I have been doing, attending a call, writing email or whatever, stops and after this forced interruption, I am forced to go to Bing. I have tried various steps like setting Display+touch settings to normal ( from high) and stopped Bing from operating on its own, but the problem continues. Is it a hardware or oftware issue? I have also seen that there are several users experiencing this problem and reporting this issue for quite sometime. In any case, Nokia should be aware of this and issuing the approrpiate patch to correct this situation. I wonder, Is anybody at Nokia listening?

T61P DVD multi recorder VIBRATION issues

Does anyone else have an issue with their multi-recorder vibrating considerably when playing/accessing a DVD???? Most of the time the recorder does not cause an issue. It seems that when it plays DVD's it is working harder to read the data. Perhaps spinning faster which causes it to vibrate to the point where you can't even hear what's being played via speakers.
I have pushed/held the front of the drive which minimises the noise but I believe it shouldn't be this noisy. Perhaps I should contact Lenovo for a replacement.... Is there an adjustment I can do myself to fix this???
Thanks in advance for your assistance

Yes, I believe there is but if I understand it correctly, it simply slows the drive down (!) Does the vibration happen with only some DVDs or all of them? Some of my DVDs/CDRWs that are not balanced casue this but most of them don't.

Q10 vibrate issues

lost vibration capability, came back sporadically, now very faint - have rebooted, etc. with no relief. Any suggestions?

Hey Jfreeb,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What version of BlackBerry 10 are you currently running? Go to Settings>About to find this information. Also when was the last time the vibration was working per normal, did you install any new applications lately?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Jelly Bean Update - Vibration Issues

Since upgrading to Jelly Bean the other day, certain apps, like my Gmail and Facebook app, will vibrate when I receive a notification when the phone is in vibrate mode. I have both of these app notification settings to sound only, so when the phone is on vibrate, nothing should happen. It's very frustrating because I leave my phone on vibrate when I am at work for phone calls only, but now I have to keep it on silent so that it's not constantly going off. Is this a reported bug or something that will be fixed soon?

Sony Xperia m4 Aqua vibration issue

I bought the M4 Aqua yesterday at the store and already I have a problem I can't figure out. This phone should have a vibration system right? When it turns on it should vibrate but it doesn't. I've enabled vibration mode for incoming calls, but it doesn't work when someone calls. Also with Whatsapp it doesn't work. When I want to put the phone on vibration mode with the volume down button to the point where there's the ''shaking phone'' icon, it doesn't vibrate and confirm it's actually in vibration mode. What should I do? Also, when I took the device off the power source when it said it was fully loaded (after I bought it, for the very first time and the device was off) it said it was 90%?And is 9 hours (with beginning at 90%) of normal use and sometimes 3G a good amount of time? It made it from 9:00 till 18:00, so not till the end of day.And, can you make panorama's without having to turn the device on its side, cause that's a bit annoying. Sorry if all these questions are easily solved, I'ver never had Android before.Thanks in advance for answering.

Hi Ni_8,
Welcome to the community,
In this case I would suggest taking the device back to the place of purchase, as this sounds like a hardware issue.
However you can try a software repair on the device before taking the device back, as this could be software.
Here's how to run the repair on PC Companion:
1. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
2. Phone Software Update.
3. Start.
4. Repair Phone
5. Continue
6. Accept data removal
7. Next
8. Wait for prepare
9. Select Phone
10. Follow the connection steps
And Bridge for Mac:
1. Launch Bridge for MAC without the handset connected.
2. On the Main Window select "Xperia > Repair Xperia Device".
3. Ensure the phone is charged and select "Ok" in the following window.
4. Select Continue on the following page.
5. Wait until the initialising step is finished the continue as below.
6 . Select your model of phone from the list that appears
7. Follow the connection steps that appear, ensuring that you are holding the relevant button down before during and after the connection phase until the update/repair begins.
Let us know how you get on.

Vibrating Issue Buzzing Like a Bee

Hi guys,
I dont understand this phone anymore..now i have a zooming/buzzing sound like a bee when i type..what is this? And if someone calls it makes a noise like a rattle snake because of the vibrating...really weird...U guys also have this? Can someone test this please and reply if u have the same or not?
On XDA developers people claiming its an hardware issue, while others say its from the new update .257.
Especially in the left corner of the phone if u put your ears to it and type something.
Do i need to replace again? Really boring it....

I am experiencing this same problem, but I have the older firmware (14.1.G.1.534)
I found that if I leave it alone for awhile (ex. after sleep), the next time it vibrates, the sound would not be there.
Also from the built-in diagnostic, no squeak/buzz sound was observed with constant vibration.
It tends to happen when I press things that leads to frequent vibration (ex. pressing the home button many times)
Only had the Z1 for a little more than 2 weeks, not looking forward to return it, any suggestions from Sony?

Ringtone/Vibrate issues when screen is in Lock Mode

When my Iphone 4s is in screen lock mode I don't get the ringtone for texts or calls when it's on loud volume. When it's on vibrate it does not vibrate when the screen is locked. All these things work when the screen is unlocked. Why is that?
Email me at [email protected] with your answers

User troubleshooting steps as outlined in the manual include restart, reset, restore, restore as new. Have you tried any of these? Restart involves powering off your phone and powering back on. Reset involves the following procedure:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Speaker issue and Vibrating problems

Hi, hopefully someone can help me... I have had my share of iPhones, always something wrong and the funny thing... I HAVE NEVER DROPPED ANY OF THEM. well anyways... does anyone's phone when you put it on vibrate sound like there's something else vibrating in it.. not just the motor but something else???? also is it just me or just one speaker on the bottom works??
Please let me know
Thank You

I'm not sure about the vibration issue, however, there is actually only one speaker at the bottom, the other is the microphone. You should only hear sound from the one speaker that is there.

X200 Fan Issues with Windows 7

Hi all,
I've just done a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit onto my X200, and everything works great except for 1 thing - the fan constantly runs and doesn't stop at all as long as the laptop is on.
I've seen a few other posts of other X200 owners facing the same issue, but with little resolution. I've unintalled Access Connection and turned off my Wireless LAN but to no avail - the fan just keeps on going.
I've switched back my old HDD with XP Pro, and the X200 is quiet with little fan movement - so it definitely seems to me to be Windows 7 and the X200.
Anyone here faced the same problem and managed to resolve this? It's definitely very irritating if you're mobile and constantly need to work with your laptop on your laps!
Solved!

...it was the vibration from the WD Scorpio Black 7200 HDD that I'm using that's causing the sound / vibration I'm experiencing.
Now I've gotta figure out if the HDD is typically like that or if I got a dud.
There have been quite a few comments about vibration issues with 500GB WD Scorpio Black drivers in numerous web forums. What size is your WD Scorpio drive?
I have a 320GB Hitachi 7200rpm drive in my X200 and it has no vibration problems.

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.
