So today my motor stopped working, all of a sudden it wouldn't vibrate. It won't even Vibrate on the "Google" splashscreen. This is also the third Galaxy Nexus Verizon has sent me, the first being sent back, from being purchased new, due to power issues, the second a wifi issue, so I'm thinking it's a hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix it or whether I'd need a new one?

if you don't want to crack it open, i'd say return it. still, you could try and flash a custom kernel that allows vibration control, crank it all the way up.

have i got the volume bug if my phone hangs and then reboots every time i touch volume up or down when the screen is on? Samsung insist that its the same thing and i need to wait for the update but i can't see anyone else describing that the problem causes a reboot, and my volume has never actually turned down on it's own as far as i can tell.
That sounds different altogether.

Thats what i suspect. Its just a pain to have been waiting for 4 days for something that probably wont fix anything and then to have to start the whole thing over again with samsung. O well

Deal with the retailer you bought the phone from, and get a replacement from them.

I'll give it a go. Im guessing they wont do a doorstep swap like i'd get from t mobile though. Hopefully i wont be without it for long. In our short time together i've grown quite attached to this phone (and almost got used to not touching the volume button)
Couple of questions (you may have already done these -apologies if you have)
Have you tried a factory reset? If not, maybe worth trying it, could be an app doing wierd things.
Also, try running a logcat trace when replicating the issue - see if it helps point in the direction of the issue.
Does the phone still crash when you're in the bootloader? (This _may_ help to rule out application related issues)
I have tried a factory reset. Weird thing is that im pretty sure that it didnt do it for the first few hours that i was playing with it. It was just at the point that i had it all set up that i first noticed it so assumed it was a rouge app and did a factory reset. When it rebooted i signed in and hit volume and it crashed so its definately not an app.
I almost believed that it was the normal volume bug because if i go somewhere more remote in the house, away from all electrical stuff, i can hammer at the buttons for a while before it crashes so maybe ive just got a more extreme version of the bug. Just noone else seems to have anything close. Volume control works fine in a call and when the screen is off but i havent tried in bootloader yet. I'll give it a go
What's up guys, i'm new here . Three days ago, HTC sent back my phone after a checkup for a vibration problem. They said that they did a software update (false, it was already 1.29.401.11) and sensors calibration. Yesterday, the phone stopped vibrating again. What should i do now? I think that is a software problem (stock rom, never rooted). I'm sorry for bad english . Thanks

Don't think you can do anything much other than give it back and ask for a replacement as it's the second time this has happened... Also, try doing a factory restore and see if it works.

I dit it, but this should be the third time that i send it to assistance. The first one was for a g sensor problem, resolved with a replacement of motherboard, but when i sent it the vibration worked perfectly, i suspect that they broken my phone.

mine keeps vibrating every 30 min or so
i cant figure out what's causing it any suggestions what it would be ?
not a incoming email vibration notification , not a wi-fi drop out vibration notification.

They actually scammed you by saying they updated it(when it was updated already like you say) You should go back, yell at them and take out some frustration if you wish =P
Don't root your phone to install another rom, try fixing it as is on stock rom.
I would try these:
1)Factory Reset
2)Update to latest FW
3)HTC Diagnostics Test (Has a vibration test)
4)Haptic Feedback On(To see if it vibrates on typing and tapping and such)
5)Phone Ringing with vibration
If any of the above work, then its definitely a software problem.
If they don't, either way you have to go back to HTC. Try getting a replacement. Say you're tired of coming back again and again to get your phone fixed, "Give me a replacement or My Money back"
I read another post a few weeks back where the user was experiencing these mechanical sounds on haptic feedback(I also have that problem) but his vibration stopped altogether. He got his HOX replaced.
Anyways Good Luck.

I don't recommend hijacking the thread, create your own thread
Sorry I'm probably stepping on his thread too, but please point in any directtion before I have an inoperable phone and a hard time getting HTC to cover.
However, I an issue that will f-up this phone I'm afraid. I have on a daily basis what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (can't duplicate) that runs about 15 seconds once to twice daily at full vibration. Not rooted and have reset 3 times.
If you've ever run a battery drain program with full vibration on. Not good for the phone. I'm at a loss in this one, really dreading tech support or my local store. Will run the HTC diags but any other ideas greatly appreciated
No receipt, no box and I traded for it on Craig'slist 2weeks ago..

My friend had the same problem with a HOX - it wouldn't vibrate at all. He tried doing a factory reset and playing with settings, but nothing worked, so he sent it back and got a replacement. I'm not sure you can do anything about it since it's likely a hardware problem.
Hi,
I got my Nexus a few days ago and I am quite happy with it - JB update worked immediately like a charm and it's a joy how fast everything works ...
But there is one pain point I encountered. While taking calls or calling someone the screen blanks, probably because of the proximity sensor. So far so good - but it doesn't turn on again. Then I am not able use any on screen controls, especially calling hotlines that require you to dial specific numbers while calling this behaviour is very frustrating.
I found a workaround, to setup the power button to cancel ongoing calls - this way I am able to hang up at least.
Is this a known behaviour, are there any solutions or other workarounds or am I the only one encountering this problem?
P.S.: I am running Stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1) / no root / no modifications
Am I the only one experiencing this behaviour? - any help would be gladly appreciated!

I have a friend with a Galaxy Nexus with the same problem. I'm wondering if you have found any solution to this or what was causing it?
This doesn't happen with my Nexus or my wife's
Either a busted proxymity sensor or a disconnected one
Under warranty ? exchange it
not under warranty ? Open it, make sure that the wires are plugged correctly. If it is and you still have the problem, replace the sensor
Hi, I haven't found a definitive solution for this issue
It just happens from time to time. Maybe the proximity sensor is kind of flaky?
I am using a combination of the Accessibility settings, pressing power button to hang up a call and screebl to keep the screen on. This works okay for me.
If you have any other intel regarding this, I'd gladly read it.
Cheers!

My volume keys don't work at all when in a call when the phone is held to my ear. To change the in call volume I have to take the phone off my ear so that the screen can come on, and then press the volume rocker.
Is this by design or is there something wrong with my device?
Update: this seems to be working intermittently for me. What could be the issue? I'm so stumped.
Same here. It's pissing me off. Anyone else have this issue?

I have the same problem. Stock international + ROOT and Xposed. It's really really annoying.
Hey,
Exactly the same configuration as above. Same issue as you all guys. I think this is intentional though
I don't believe it is, it would be the first phone I see with this "feature".
Ok, now I am really getting confused. Reading of @angadreme also having Xposed, I thought it must be some Xposed module. I disabled all of them and rebooted -> volume buttons working with screen off during call. I thought it could be one of the options about volume buttons with screen off of Sense 6 toolbox, so I re-enabled all modules except S6TB and rebooted. Volume buttons still working. Then I enabled S6TB again, rebooted and... volume buttons still working.
Still not responsive in call

Hey,
Am now wondering if my phone has an issue...I had this 'feature' (you're true, this should not happen at all...) since the very first day I bought it...all stock and so on.
Now that I'm running ARHD 8.0 with or withouht ElementalX, with or without Sense Toolbox, still the same issue...not TOO annoying, but still.
What do you suggest ? Shall I go for a replacement ?
No, it's clearly a software issue, I don't think it would make sense to ask for a replacement which would most likely have the same problem (assuming that they accept to replace the phone). If it's a firmware bug, it will sooner or later be fixed. If you had this problem even before rooting, it might be related to some app we have both installed. In case you find out more, please let me know, I am also going crazy for this little annoying issue!
By the way, after my last post, the volume buttons kept working without problems until I next rebooted the phone, which was several days later. Now they are again not working. -.-
hello everyone , so i use to have this bug back to kitkat also but it wasn't happening as often as it doesnt now that i have lollipop rom installed on my galaxy tab s T705 , the issue is with touch key lights which stays on even when i have them always off from settings , they act super weird when they are in that mode , they go off few sec after screen is off and if i shake the device they go on again as it looks like they are connected to accelerator sensor or something lolz ,the solution is super easy tho just hit the power saving on and then off again and they work normally again i heard some other ppl dealing with same issue but i wanted to know if there is a perma solution for it or not , im sure its a software issue but is there a way to fix it ?
Install a custom rom like cyanogen or something stock based.
I have the same problem. I usually have it set to turn the lights off after 6 seconds, but after a couple of days they don't work anymore. I would change the setting to off, then on, then back to 6 seconds, and it'll work again. After a few more days, they stop. I haven't seen a permanent fix for this.

Same for me. Would usually opt to have the buttons backlight always off, but randomly it starts actin like always on, although the settings remains 'always off'. Toggling the setting to anything else and back to always off fixes the problem temporeraly.
Im running stock swiss lollipop on my t700.
Yes, this is driving me nuts too! I hope they resolve this in the next update and soon!

Same problem with the lights on after a while even though set to always off. Seems to work properly under 1.5 sec setting option. I would love for the lights to be always off though.

Me too have the touch key settings to always off and found the same problem.
In my case I think it only happens when I plug the Tablet to AC.
Did this happen to anyone under another circumstances?
Thanks in adavance!

I have the same problem as everyone else, which I am very "happy" to hear because I am not the only one apparently dealing with it. I purchased the tablet a couple weeks ago and noticed that even though the setting for the touch key backlight is "always off", it goes on when I open the case, and sometimes goes on and off and goes weird. I contacted Samsung and they requested that I send in the tablet for repairs, so I did. At the same time, I contacted Amazon and they sent me another Tab S tablet. I have a month to return the other one so I figured I'll try this second one and see if I continue to have the same issues like the first one. Sure enough, I had the second tablet for less than a day and it's doing the exact same thing! So far the 1.5 second setting seems to keep the darn lights off. Sometimes doing a soft reset will fix the issue temporarily, but not permanently. If anyone figures out how to fix this, let us know! I'll be following this thread. I hope there's a software update to fix this.

I believe this is a software bug so all tab s running the 5.0.2 lollipop will have this issue.
And to reply to the other poster: The problem will occur after a while, the lights will just turn on and stay on when you wake the tablet. Changing the setting and choose Always Off will fix it but it will come back after a while.

Is there a way to get it back to the stock ROM? I'd rather avoid this light issue until an update to correct this comes out. Thoughts?

I heard that there's a new update available for the Tab S. (I already returned my tablet before my 30 days to get a full refund.) Did any one get the new update, and if so, did it fix the issues like this touch key light?
Hey,
I had this problem on the original KK software - upgraded to Lollipop a few days back and I still have the bug... in fact, it is even worse! Occurs more frequently than on LP.
I wouldn't mind leaving the lights on all the time, but they're so damn BRIGHT, and there's no way to adjust the backlight intensity!
Cheers,
Su
I found this solution on another forum...
If you enable smart stay, the touch key light duration will work properly.
Any further movement on this?. I've found that if I take my tab out of the book case the problem goes away. Seems like it's a bug with the case sensor.
No movement that I'm aware of. I'm really frustrated that there hasn't been a fix after all this time. I'm holding out hope that if there is ever an update to Marshmallow, that the issue will go away. Interesting observation about the case -I have a book case on mine. I'll remove it and see what happens...
