Droid not vibrating? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically my Incredible only vibrates when it wants to. The keys vibrate from time to time when pressed, i havent noticed calls though right now is just the keys and i use the default keyboard.

Mine does it sometimes to. It just gives the inc character lol. From what I can remember it's done it on every rom except sky raider and stock lol.

How old is your Inc? Mine is about 7 months old now and I am running into some issues every now and then where the vibration just feels dead. It also makes a weird clicking sound when it boots up. It may be a ROM that you are using or your vibe motor is just kicking the bucket.

I really dont know i bought it off ebay with a bad esn. But it was perect mint condition with the box manuals and evrything... Im running the Incredirom 2.2 and in fact the vibration does stop working because i often press the volume down button to put it into vibration mode and it does not vibrate when i put it in vibration mode. U know how is suppose to vibrate when u set it in vibration mode, it sometimes does not vibrate.

Ima try sky raider, but is it good?

It's stable and has some Cm features, it's pretty good.

If you're not opposed to upgrading, I recommend Pure Speed V7. It's a port from the evo shift also its 2.3.3. Your incredible's memory will decrease a little but it is solid and I have no issues with it on mine. But if your vibration still doesnt work, you have a busted motor.

Mine does this also. I have no idea why. I usually have haptic feedback off but when I do have it on it fades out every now and then.

I read a while back that your haptic feedback motor can basically be overloaded by heavy activity, and that giving your phone a firm shake when it's being unresponsive will correct the problem. it's always worked for me.

Didnt like Sky Raider, drastically slowed down my phone. Returned to stock 2.2. And yeah i think my motor is busted.
Lol and i tried shaking it and it works but i will look like an idiot shaking my phone every 5 minutes on the train or bus.

[Q] completely disable the optical TRACKPAD

Many of you will agree with me when i say im sick of this thing, light hits it all the time and when it does it messes with what im doing, from texting to surfing the web it gets annoying for the phone to do what it wants
To clarify I mean the optical joystick located between the menu an back buttons
so is there any simple ways to do this? im no dev bug im not completely dumb either
On the power bar widget, tap the one that looks like a sun until the green light stays bright green. That will keep the screen always brightly lit regardless of lighting conditions

Keyboard open turns off phone screen

When i open my keyboard it turns off my screen.
This has been like this for a month or longer. It is nor ROM related or kernel related as I've flashed a ton if roms and kennels in the last month. Hardware is fine as the keyboard lights up and keys work, screen works gone worth keyboard closed... It's like 'software' doesn't know keyboard is open..... Well that's nor true because it lights up....
Any ideas?

Could be your phone has fleas from flashing all those kennels.
Haha flees.... I've tried setting gov to performance then power down, nothing. I setup Tasker to post a notification when keyboard opens and it does post so the system knows the keyboard is open. I also tried using Tasker to set display on time out to 99 min.... Etc.. Still stays off. Heck just opening it shuts off screen. When screen is off opening it flicks on screen.....

CM9 RC1, how to increase vibration intensity

***Second question
Is it possible to increase the vibration intensity for things like phone calls and notifications? Compared to my old rom, I can barely feel my phone vibrating in my pocket with CM9
stukovx said:
Just switched over to CM9 RC1 from CleanGB and I'm not too sure where the prompt is showing the wifi spots available in my area. I tried enabling/disabling the wifi button but no prompt shows up. Being new to the rom, I can't find any advanced settings in the menus.
Thanks in advance

ICS is different than GB so you must click menu> tap on WiFi or slide on and than tap on WiFi and there you go.
ahhh many thanks. I swear they make simple options so difficult to spot sometimes
Go into wifi settings and check notify when a network is available.

Funny how subjective it is. I wish there was a way to decrease the intensity. It is so intense it actually really bothers me that I don't use it very often.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I turned all vibration and haptic feedback off. It's pointless, annoying, and a waste of battery. Setting the phone on vibrate still works too for if I need to keep the phone in my pocket and quiet but still wanna know if I get a text/call.

[Q] Screen touch sounds

I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and almost every single day I have to go into the sounds setting to disable the "screen touch sounds". Has anyone ever had that issue before? I have the phone set up the way I like it, and don't change anything in the settings anymore, but somehow I'll be going to do something and I hear that silly noise when I select something. I know it's not a big deal, but it drives me crazy. Any advice?

Same for me. I ended up going in with root explorer and replacing the sound files with silent files to stop the sound from coming back.

i havent had that problem at all, ever since i got the phone and rooted with phantoms blaze rom its been working flawlessly, no issues here.
I've noticed it only happens when you change the camera to video or back to camera. So its the camera modes turning it back on. Try it out for yourself.

locate lost phone

I am looking for recomendations for "I lost my phone" apps.
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thanks
Cerbus anti theft. Its $3, but I heard its really good. You can go on your computer, and you can find your phone on it through gps.
Also if you lost it because of theft you can lock up your phone, wipe your data, record voice, send the phone messages, and stuff like that.
Here's the demo video.

Will it also cause the phone to ring so if you misplaced it you can locate by sound? Will it turn the ringer on even if you had it on vibrate?
LookOut helped me find my phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout&hl=en
Lookout has a plan b app that can help you find your phone if you didn't have it installed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sb29rb3V0LmxhYnMucGxhbmIiXQ..

If your phone is lost then Plan B sounds like what you need. Based on the positive reviews it seems like a winner.
I use avast and it works awesome. Left my phone at home but thought I lost it used my buddys for sms command and and found it in 5mins

I lost my phone. I use Sprint Total protection. you can use the computer to locate you phone and locates it right on a map. its free and works fairly well.
I would recommend where's my Droid, really works. I have a buddy who lost his phone, next morning after partying he realizes he doesn't have his phone,luckily his sister installed Where's my Droid on it, good thing he had a screen lock, and even more lucky the heroin addict who took it wasn't smart enough to turn it off. Anyway, turned out to be about 30 miles from where we live,dude returns it, looking all burnt out, skinny as hell,veins all purple ...even tried to get money for him returning it. Lol.

I also prefer the mentioned Cerberus. It does GPS location, and sending alarms like most of these apps. The thing that stood out to me was its remote camera and audio recording abilities. Also, I use a secure lock screen. With cerberus, you can have the phone automatically take a picture using the front camera, if an incorrect pattern/password was entered, and then email that picture. Also, the app is fully functional during the trial period. It's kind of scary how much permission I'm allowing these types of apps to have, but it's a gamble I'm willing to take at the moment.
