Vibration doesn't work

Hi. I've had my Desire for some weeks now. But some day or two ago the text vibration stopped working. It's only the vibration when I get a text that doesn't work. When someone calls, feedback when I'm writing also work.
Anyone of you that know what it could be? I've checked settings etc.

I had the very same problem with my first Desire on a week or two after I got it. I tried literally everything. I called HTC they had no idea what to do nor how to fix it. So I called T-Mobile (who I got the phone from) told them about it, they couldn't fix it either so I got a replacement phone.
Seemingly there is no way of fixing it. The motor is fine, but something is bugged. Perhaps one of the more astute Desire users (using custom ROMs) may be able to shed some more light on the problem, but as far as I know, it is unfixable.

Ok. I guess I need to contact the store I got it from. Thanks

This is a known issue which means the text vibration stops working when the battery gets low and it doesn't come back after charging the phone.
Download and install sound manager from Android market, use it to turn on text message vibration and it'll all work again for you. Best of all It's all completely free.
Let us know if it works for you like it did for me.

I just love a problem like this that seems unfixable only to find a detailed and workable fix. Bravo.

I wish I would've known that before getting a replacement phone. Ah well, it didn't cost me anything.

Glad it worked for you all, can't remember where I first heard it but it worked for me

I installed sound manager after, I observed that the vibration does not work on my phone.For the beginning all was OK,I began testing and saw that from 5 calls 3-4 are without vibration and 1 is with the vibration,though the vibration is on from phone settings and sound manager.I didn't try to factory reset the phone because I would lose everything .Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had this problem a while ago. Download 'Sound Manager' from the Market, and there's an option in it, 'Vibrate Always' or something. That did it for me anyway, hope it helps you

I had an intermittent problem with the vibrate function after about 6 months. I sent my phone back to HTC. Initially they replaced the motherboard which didn't fix the problem. I sent it back again (set as priority) and they replaced the vibration module. It all works fine now. It's an option to consider if you can put up with being without your phone but I think it's worth doing.

How can I disable vibration on boot & shutdown?

Hi! As stated in titel, I want to disable vibration on boot and shutdown. Before froyo, it used to vibrate only when starting, now vibrates also in shutdown.
There is a small app called Silent Boot which disables sound on boot even though the phone is not in the silent mode. App that I am looking for is an app similar to it but also has ability to disable vibration.
Additionally, although "haptic feedback" option is deselected, it is still available in the stock calculator.. annoying. I want to use vibration only on incoming calls, nowhere else.

Vibration on start / shutdown - How to disable?
Is there a solution to do that?

Would also like to know this. Bump.

Me too, no idea why they included the shutdown vibration in the Froyo update. Pointless?

Ehm, just curious ...
What's the problem with vibration during shutdown and boot?
I hate the boot sound MORE because it affect other people ... But, I "fixed" that using Tasker easily (no root required)

Sorted out the boot sound issue thanks to "Silent Boot". Simply, personally, I find vibration much irritating on such. Pointless..

I understand. personal reason etc. however its not pointless. If the phone takes more than a few seconds to shut down the screen goes blank but the phone is still "shutting down". This happened alot on 2.1. Phone would take 10minutes to shut down. you had to keep turning on screen to see if it was off yet or still 'shuttnig down' The vibrate now gives a positive confirmation the phone is off. not just screen off.

Ok I see the function as well, but it would be better if this was left for user to decide whether or not to use it; as kind of preference.

Its probably going to be more hassle than its worth disabling it. Though I really can't see why it really is a problem, do you like shutting your phone down a lot? I can't remember the last time I actually turned mine off or even had to restart it

If you root the phone and bake a custom ROM you can get rid of it - the latest MoDaCo ROM has this 'feature'
Personally, I like the boot sound/vibrations

I was considering that there might be a tweak, an app etc. which is not requiring root and/or cooked rom as well (like as Silent Boot) now I see there is no way out.
Yeap, this is a matter of taste...

BUMP
Believe it or not the noise of the vibrate has woke the person next to me up more than once. I need it gone.

Well, afaik, the FroYo update has removed the shutdown-vibration.
The Boot-One is still there though.

shutdown vibrate annoyance
turn on haptic and set the vibration level to zero, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) this also disables all vibration alerts.

I'm just baffled at how a 16 month old thread gets revived...and to what purpose??
You coming to OneX or what?

[Q] cm7 vibrate not working

when i set my device to vibrate it will not work but when sound is on it does vibrate ive already went into to settings and checked but that didnt do anything and vibrate hasnt been working the whole time ive been running this rom btw i have the latest build of cm7 ive went through a few things and its still not working could somebody please help me out!!

The vibrate is working fine with CM7 #11. Haven't had an issue with an earlier version.
There are a few different places to set vibrate mode. sms notifications, email notifications and incoming call notifications can each be individually set to vibrate or not. Just be sure you've gone through all of the settings. Worst case scenario performa full wipe and re-install.
The common solutions to uncommon problems seams to be conducting a full wipe.
If that doesn't work maybe it's possible that you have a hardware issue with the phone?

I've looked through settings and I can't find specific options for vibrate on notifications and I know its not a hardware issue because vibrate works on everything thing other than notifications detailed instructions would be very helpful

Try opening your sms app. select menu>settings>notification settings>vibrate: just be sure that it's not set to never.
Open email: menu button>more>settings>vibrate: set whatever you like
are you running timeriffic? if so it can turn off vibrate if set to do so?
I'm not going to be able to help much more than than that (sorry).
May still want to consider a full wipe? The vibrate is functional for me and I haven't read about other folks having this issue.

That worked!! Thank you!

I was having the same issue but this thread helped me find the settings in my messaging app. It seems to be working tip top so far.
I must say as someone that has just rooted his phone less than a week ago as awesome as it is to have so many options problems like this make me wonder about having too many options. Haha.

[Q] Silent mode isn't silent on CM7

Okay so I noticed a few days ago that the silent mode wasn't working on my G2 when my phone rang despite it being in that mode. The icon was in the status bar, and I couldn't figure out how to make it actually become silent. It had worked before, but I'm not sure exactly when it stopped working. So yesterday, to try to eliminate any problems, I wiped user data, and pretty much everything and flashed a fresh install of CM 7.0.3. I tried putting the phone into silent mode through settings, through the lockscreen slider, and ultimately by trying to just use the volume rocker. It was then that I noticed that on the volume prompt that the silent mode icon was showing but there was still a bit of the volume percentage left in the bar. I really can't figure out what to do now, suggestions?

Reflash rom or try another

I'm having the same issue on MyTouch 3G Slide. It was working normally for the few months that I flashed this ROM... but for me it started after I replaced the Flex Cable the other day.
Playing with the "Sound" and "CyanogenMod Settings > Sound" settings does not do anything. The only way to really get silence is to manually slide the volume bar in the "Sound" settings to empty. Some things still have sound though such as my camera focus/shutter - before I was able to take a photo silently but not there's the ridiculously loud camera noise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so after flashing Virtuous, MIUI, and CM7.1 RC1, my problem still persisted. I was finally about to give up, so I just flashed a backup I had from about two weeks ago. When I restarted the phone, the volume settings were just fine, and back to a normal state. I must've flashed something recently that messed it up
@Hvargas
I'm not really that experienced with these kind of hardware problems, sorry bud

Little issue... Notifications not vibrating

Im on the uvlh1 darkside v0 rom and cant find any other roms that work well with my phone. Its a little wonky and for some reason this is the only rom i have found that goes into deep sleep and gets good battery life. Essentially, i cant switch roms. My issue however is that notificarions dont make my phine vibrate. They come in just fine and when my ringer is on, they make noise as they should. I have gone through the menus and told it to vibrate so the "duh" solution has been tried. What else can I do?

What type of notifications are not vibrating? This could help. My friend had an issue with his Galaxy Nexus where it wouldn't vibrate for anything at all, so I just told him to reset it and it worked like magic

Text messages is(was!) the big thing. I went into the messaging settings and it said it would "also vibrate when notified" but when i tapped it, it said "never". Odd. Anyway I told it to always vibrate and it's workig again. Thanks

I find this phone to have weak vibration. I rarely feel it.
