My Desire (Orange Uk) decided to stop vibrating the other day. Nothing could make it vibrate - I tried emailing it, changing the profile to vibrate-only, locking the phone and moving my finger over the little circles to unlock (the phone usually vibrates a little as you pass over each one), phoning voicemail (the phone vibrates as a call is answered) and powering off and on. Then, suddenly, about 15 mins after I powered on it started working again. Has anyone else had this? Perhaps you have a quicker way of getting it working again?
Update: Since then, it refuses to vibrate for phone calls/text messages/emails. I'm told I can do a factory reset and that might fix it. I don't really want to, though - not every time this happens. Any one else had this and managed to fix it?

my TP2 has stopped turning the screen off automatically. i don't know what triggered the change but the screen doesn't turn of automatically anymore after I use the phone, or if it gets activated in anyway (receiving an SMS, a phone call, ...). i check the settings/system/power and 'Turn off backlight if device is not used for' is selected with the time set to 30 seconds. however thebacklight never turns off. any ideas how to fix this? thanks much!

this happened to me a while ago as well, sadly the only way i was able to fix it was by doing a hard reset. but maybe someone else will know a better way to fix it.

thanks. a hard reset would be a last resort! i have many tweaks and too many apps to give up on easily. any other solutions out there?
I have the same problem but mine also turns on itself! When I turn it off with key it takes appr. 10 seconds and then it turns itself on. This does not happen all the time but when it has started I do not know how to stop it but it stops itself after a while. Soft reset does not help.
Have tried hard reset and then it use to wor a few days then it comes back. Very frustrating as it drains the battery fast.
Hello. My problem is with the phone's vibrator. 2 or more weeks ago I got the same problem, when I dropped my phone from the bed tot the floor (aprox. 40 cm height), it stopped vibrating for feedback, messages and calls. At that time, I thing I either turned it off and removed battery or just do a reboot, but it started working again until 3 day ago. Since then it stopped working completely. I tried turning it off, reboot, removing the battery for 15 min., nothing worked. I have no vibration feedback (for example when I type a phone number or message), no message receiving vibration, no incoming calls vibration and not even when I turn on/reboot the device does my phone vibrate(it was a small vibration when you turned on the phone). Today I thought I should first try to change my ROM prior to trying to replace the faulty vibrator, but when I selected to reboot to recovery, my phone rebooted and vibrated at the beginning, so I thought the bug is gone. I went back in to the phone and I had: vibrate feedback (typing a phone number), message vibrate, didn't have time to test the call vibration because after I received 2 messages the vibration stopped once again. So now I'm baffled: is it because of the ROM, is it a glitch/bug from the motherboard or is the vibrator almost "dead"? If anyone had this issue and can help me fix the bug I would be really thankful. If I have to replace the vibrator, it wouldn't be a hard thing to do and I would do it if I know this will fix the problem forever.
My phone is S-OFF, rooted, with AcesMod007 ROM. Thank you.
I have installed CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v2.8 by vijendrahs and still no vibration, so it must be from the motherboard or the vibrator itself. I might try to replace it and see if this solves the problem.
No one has encountered this problem until now? No thoughts on this? I've searched for this bug and found some applications that should remove this bug, but they didn't work for me, so I am still open to any suggestion. I still have to wait up to 3 weeks until the vibrator arrives.
L.E.: I've just noticed another anomaly: my phone jumps from 82%-85% battery to full when I'm charging it. Might this have something to do with the vibrator? How can I fix this problem? Thanks.
Tried all kinds of applications that would force the vibrator, but with no success. I am still looking for a solution.
I have no guarantee so I have to fix it myself. I saw that other peoples with the same problem had sent the phone back to HTC for a replace. One of them actually stated that HTC had replaced first the motherboard (with no success) and then the vibrator module. I hope that replacing the vibrator would solve the problem.
I've solved the problem. I decided to open it up, thinking it is a hardware problem, and take a look at it. I've blended the two legs a bit more to make sure they get a perfect connection to the the motherboard and voila. It is working fully.
Hello All
I have a HTC one X. I installed Cyanogenmod on it a few days ago and it was running pretty fine. Until last night my phone started to freeze a few times. So I reflashed the rom ect and it fixed it.
This morning I was messing around on this phone and it froze yet again so I held down the power button to reboot the phone.
Now the phone itself turns on but its shows a black screen. I can unlock, I can hear sounds, I can even receive phone calls and text messages and play around on the phone (but cant see anything)
I have tried plugging it in to my pc and going in to the SD card but in order to do that on cyanogenmod I will have to tun usb storage on, on the phone which i cant seem to do.
I am wondering whats going on with my phone and are there any ways to fix it or is this the end of it ?
Regards
Gentle
Hey, I'm having serious issues with my GS3 lately, I got it a few months ago from Sprint's suckish replacement plan.
The problems started a few weeks after I got the device, so I can't send it back or else they'll charge me, I've tried flashing different ROMs and restoring to stock several times and nothing seems to work.
The problems are: The phone randomly shuts down(crashes?) and I have to hold the power button to get it to turn off and I just guess after a few seconds, let go and hold the power button down again to turn it back on, the lock screen freezes, I have to turn the screen on and off a few times before it responds, the phone randomly reboots, it just turns off and back on without any type of animation, it just simply does it, the phone also, in some reboots it optimizes apps as if I had just updated and sometimes it deletes my contacts and text messages.
I have no idea what's going on, I've been trying to bear this problem but I just can't take it anymore! >3<.
I've tried the "Ultimate freeze/crash" thread to no avail.
....
I just tried flashing the new MOAR Rom and it still keeps doing it, my phone runs fine for a few hours before one of the things listed above happens.
Bump...somone please help ;-;
So I came home after being out for a bit and went to check my phone. When I hit the power button the screen didn't turn on. I then unplugged it and the charging LED stayed lit green once I unplugged it (it should have went off). I could not get the screen to turn on. I then plugged it into my PC to see if it'd recognize the device and nothing happened. Then, I had someone call my phone and it rang like it was on and went to voicemail, but the screen didn't do anything. I then reset it using POWER + VOL UP. It restarted and seems fine now... but I am not sure what that was. It is on stock 4.4.3 (I did the GPE conversion). Haven't had any issues with it until this. Hopefully it isn't a bad sign...

I don't think it's as a result of the device failing or something. I also had it happen to me only once and that was after I tried to install a program that requires root, it wanted to reboot but go stuck and didn't do anything. You could still hear the back ground notifications, ringing etc, same as yours, only difference being that I couldn't do a Volume up + power to reset, didn't work for me, lucky for me though it did pick up the device when plugged into PC.
I don't know if it's because of the rooting, or the rooting app or what the reason might be. Like I said it only did it once, haven't had a problem with it since(Been fine since the problem occurred sometime in April).
I mention the rooting app because it only occurred after I tried to grant access for root app, so... might be a coincidence, don't know.
Hope it's nothing serious for you as well :good:

Ahh, mine was a bit different. It was more like my phone froze and the screen couldn't power on. I actually couldn't hear notifications or anything or get them while it was like this. When the person called my phone it rang for them like they were connecting to my phone, then went to voicemail after like 5 rings (like if the phone was on). But my phone didn't ring nor did the screen turn on for the call, it was just frozen.
Once I hard reset the phone (POWER + VOL UP) when it came back on I got all the texts I'd missed since my phone messed up.
Happened to me once. The screen is on but black !
Required a hard reset
