It's not so easy to hear, but there is a ticking sound coming from the phone instead of it vibrating. Used PleasureDroid app on Pulse 1 setting to make sure it was trying to vibrate. The phone basically makes that ticking noise instead of vibrating, it does that on boot or when clicking the buttons at the bottom.
Video was recorded with another Desire HD, the source file is not laggy but youtube seems to have made it laggy :/
Anyway the phone was fine before, it's my friends DHD he's had it for a few months with no problems, it's a HT0BLAX. It hasn't been dropped or anything.
HTC say they will replace it but they haven't heard of this as being a common fault.
My 2 week desire hd borked out on me.
It no longer vibrates. Tired that pulsedroid and nothing what so ever. Think mines must be faulty. Will need to send back for replacement.
Should of bought a nexus s instead.
my last desire made a sound like a v8 motor....it was so annoying...
i bring it back to the telekom shop and get a new one... now it vibrate normaly

Have this problem a few months ago.
Only way to repair: Call HTC or go to the phone shop where you bought your phone (or a shop of your provider ).
They can send your phone to HTC back, and they repair
i had the same problem... a soft ticking sound during the first week i purchaced it. during the second week i got no sound and no vibration at all any more.
i had it replaced.
my desire HD also vibrates like a pneumatic drill...
...my girlfriend loves it
(sorry for the bad joke, i'll get my coat)

My Desire HD sometimes makes strange clicks when vibrating(.
You really are just unlucky unfortunately. Send back to HTC and they will issue you with a replacement.

Me too! And it's very annoying. Any workaround other than disabling haptic feedback? It's so irksome I'm ready to disassemble my phone if necessary to fix it
i change the part of vibrate and it doesn't work.. any advice to fix it??
Hi, I am in a very tight spot and very high strunge right now. My brand spanking new HTC One X(I got it in the mail 3 days ago) appears to have bricked itself. It is completely stock, never rooted, and the only two apps I had on it were apex launcher and widget locker. The other night I decided since I'd been able to play with it for a bit I'd go ahead and update the software(it had an update available out of the book). OMFG. Everything was fine till I hit install and even then it looked fine until the install was complete and it went to reboot. This thing got stuck in the most vicous boot loop I've ever seen. It just got stuck rebooting over and over for right four hours before I was able to shut it down. It got so hot I couldn't hold it. I was worried I was going to get to watch my brand new $600 dollar phone melt before my eyes. Anyway I finally got it to turn off, either be it do to low battery or instability caused from excess heat and today when I tried to turn it for the first time came on but it just got stuck on the first screen didn't even make it to the boot animation. I held the power and luckily it shut off. I tried again and it won't even turn on now. I really need some help guys... This is my only phone. I had to dig out my old iTouch and use wifi to just get on xda. What should I do about this!? I'm so stressed right now... Please... Please... Help...
3 day old brand new phone?
Return it.
Either get your money back or get it replaced.
Why are you stressed? Stuff breaks, be glad it was in the first 3 days!
I wish I would have more knowledge to help you out.
Shut the phone down by holding power for 10 seconds. Then start it with Vol down and power. Let's see first what you get.

Help, help, help, help... Got it to come back on by plugging it into my charger for a bit it went into the same exact boot loop that you can't shut down in. Lucky the battery died quickly this time it didn't have time to get hot, but good god this needs to get fixed ASAP and I don't have any idea what to do. I'm actually in a hospital right now and will be here for awhile it looks like, so needless to say I can't use my pc or probably would have figured it out on my own already instead of begging for help.
I guess you did update with low battery... Did you try what I wrote before? Volume down and power at the same time when you plug in usb.

I didn't try it with a low battery... It was 70% when i started the update. The update was completed in 15 min without interuption. The bootloop started the second the update finished. the bootloop went on for 4 hours before it would even shut down and I held the power button for more then ten seconds some time and when it would shut down it immediately turned back on on it's own. When I tried turning it on today I intentially didn't charge it long just for the reason. And I haven't tried the power and volume yet(I can't reach the out let to plug in in, as I'm attached to an IV) me getting sick and this phone dying the first night at the hospital couldn't have happened at a worse time.

I can't I am in the hospital... Two days after getting my new phone my sore throat turned into mono so bad I can't drink water even. I'm on an IV and can't even reach the nearest out let let alone get to a computer and then ship this phone back. It's the only line of communication I had in here. Lucky I convinced my mom who was visiting me to drive home and get my old iPod. That's all I have right now.
But you can put it in charger before right? Put it in and then try Vol down and power at the same time.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
I had my mom plug in/turn on for me. I can't have her try the down vol and power(shes very tec illiterate and strugged just to turn it on. I had to plug it in for her and then she walked the whole charger over to the outlet and help it out so i could see what it was doing)as I can't see what's on the screen very well from 10 feet or so it wouldntbe worth trying to get her to try the key combo. Hopefully I can get a family member to bring me a short extension cord but until then I can't try it. What is the idea with what that's supposed to do? Does it by bass fast boot or completely resent the phone or?
Well I thought we could get in bootloader mode to factory reset the phone. Maybe it should work then. I can't think of another step. Not being such a pro on this sorry mate.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
Thanks just the same... I'm going to try the key combo before the night is through as I have an extension cord on the way. If I can do a factory reset I'm guessing I'll need to re enter my APN setting yes? This is such an inconvient timing of events. I'm gonna need someone to run home and get my notes for the proper apn for my network since this is an international phone I'm using in the us.
Can't you find the apn in the net? Let's hope we can get your phone work first then we'll see about apn.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
This doesn't look real promising... I got the cord, started it to the boot loader and eyerything is locked/disabled. Why would this thing have a locked boot loader when it's the unlocked international version?
And for the past 15 min it's said checking SD card update at the bottom of the boot loader menu. I'd say I either got a corrupted file or it something else went wrong during the down load that wasn't evident because it looked like that part went fine when I did the update.
You're on stock that's why it's shown locked and the checking sd thing... Are you in fastboot usb? Should be underlined in red
If there is fastboot usb written in red do following. Plug of the charger press power one time move down to factory reset and power again. Let's see what's happening.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
It didn't show any alternative boot options. Then I unplugged the charger and it showed up. I went down and I used the factory reset. It's working now except I need to re due my apn, i lost all my contacts, and Ill need to re download/set up apex along with widget locker.
At least it's working now. I guess you saved your contacts on gmail so this won't be a problem either. Apn search the net. Apex you have to do again yea.
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
glad its fixed! apn settings should be avaiable from google, gmail should automatically load your contacts. enjoy your 1x and get well soon
Ya except I didn't synce my contacts with gmail. Like I said I just bout this phone and I transferred my old contacts via blue tooth so I'll need to do that again. I dont mind doing apex and wig locker again but retyping the apn will not be fun. Thank you though for your help. I really appreciate it. You don't have any guesses as to why it went into that boot loop do you or how I can avoid it happening again? I rather like to have up to date software so that's gonna be a problem if it does that again. How about my CPU and battery? Do you think they're damaged after how hot it got in that boot loop and for how long?
Hi people
I have 3 problems with my desire hd for a long time now and i am thinking to take my phone for a repair.
1) satellite fix for gps. takes too much time to connect and sometimes can't connect at all.
2)proximity sensor. The screen won't lock at a phone call. I try the apk of leppie but it's not very helpful
3)jack 3.5. When i use my headphones sometimes the phones see that i am using a mic and there is a conflig.
If i send my phone for repair can these problems fixed?And do you know if it will be expensive?
P.S. The phone is rooted and i am using Blackout ics incredible 3.1.1
Thank you for your time

I think that first that you need to do - unroot your phone and flash original rom!
After that - check may be problems will be solved
If no - after unroot, full wipe and flashing original stock rom you can send yor phone for repair...

Hi Petrose,
Well, first of all trie, as said, original rom, or (better:fingers-crossed:Jellytime R28 by Randomblame (after a full wipe/ clean install).
About the GPS issue, many people have had problems with that, me too :crying: resulting in sadness and almost bought a new device.
Tried other Kernels, other radio, etc. etc. nothing!
But, luckily, found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101066&nocache=1
I just opened my desireHD, cleaned the metal pins with soft cloth, bended them up a little...........really AMAZING GPS!!!!!:good::good::good:
Locked within 2 or 3 seconds, very strong signal, i'm really happy with it. No new device needed!
Hope this works for you too. For the other problems you can trie different roms, or go back to original rom (naaah, hope you don't need that).
Good luck! Be gentile when you open your phone.....use a few pieces of hard thin plastic, like in the video (i made my own using plastic from a blister package, cut in pieces)
Cheers, Mollenvanger.
My phone has developed a problem with vibrate.
I get no vibration from it at all. However, if I install an app that produces a constant vibration and set it off, nothing happens unless I smack the phone into my hand, at which point it will vibrate very weakly and gradually decrease in intensity over the course of about 3 seconds at which point it stops entirely again. Feels like how it would if the battery was dying.
Is this a duff motor or is there something else that I can check? The phone is about as hacked as they come so I don't really have a leg to stand on warranty-wise (bootloader was done thru htcdev) so it's looking like I'm gonna have to get the spudger out

Run the HTC Function Test and check if it runs in there.
*#*#3424#*#* Vibrator Test should be at the right(bottom of list)
Sorry I probably should have mentioned that I try that. Similar results. If I run it, nothing happens. If I run it and simultaneously smack the phone with my hand, I get a very short, weak burst of vibration.

Yeah then it's probably a hardware issue Thought that maybe if it ran in there then we could look towards settings etc but if it doesn't run in there either then it must be hardware related.
I just had to send my device to HTC to get it fixed for this exact same reason.
Since I'm S-OFF, I just masked my HBOOT to appear S-ON and they fixed it no problem.

Seems like it might be a common problem. There's even a video on Youtube that shows steps on how to get to the little motor :cyclops:

Quite a few postson this very forum about vibration problems, in fact....
i had the same problem..
my smartphone has been without vibration for 3 weeks.
I installed "vibrate plus" for try the vibration but not working or sometimes vibrated at very very low intensity.
I installed z-test device to test if it was a hardware problem but the engine vibration was ok.
one day, "playing" with no frills cpu control, I changed the processor frequency at start increasing it.
From that day he returned to work perfectly.
Try to do a test by increasing the frequencies of processors, maybe back to work as well for you.
I hope that my was not just luck, and help you.
Let me know.
PS.
changing the frequency of the processor, I also fix the bug sound.
Weirdly, without doing anything whatsoever, it's started working again today. I even bought a new motor and tools to do it myself, but it's working great today! Weird

oddly mine just died today too after i was texting the vibration felt weaker and than it just kind of went away i don't want to open up my phone either to replace the motor so i guess im SOL.
Mine is still working after the trouble I had. Maybe try what sheva7 suggested as that might kick it into life...otherwise try and sit it out for a bit and maybe it will magically start working again like mine did...

about how long did it die than you had to wait for it to magically come back?
Somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks I'd say. I didn't notice it straight away, and then I ordered parts which took a few days to arrive, and then a couple of days later it started working again

Mine stopped working the 25th of November.
Today, just a few minutes ago, it randomly buzzed for the first time since then. I tried making it happen again and it was not repeatable, so I guess it was just a death rattle. I had a brief glimmer of hope, though....
this is very strange isn't it! Mine Is also doing this, seems to be after installing lollipop, even bought a new motor and replaced and still doesnt work! Im hoping it will kick back in to life at some point!
Mines gone and stopped working again. So frustrated. Again, if I whack it it works for a couple of seconds really weakly. I've always had HTC phones but after the camera lens and vibrate issues I honestly can't wait til I can get rid of this thing

Hi
i also just bought an HTC M9, huge fan of HTC.
Anyways, i had the same problem where the vibration stopped working at times. If i hit the phone on one of the sides, it worked for a while, and while i was diagnosing, i could hear that something was loose inside, so i decided to get all the gear needed (did not wanna bother with sending it in and spend 14 days without a phone, its 2016 FFS ), and open the phone, easy enough.
Inside i could see a piece of loosened solder metal, and after i removed this its been working fine ever since.
So my guess is that this piece of solder metal is a common weakness of this phone and would at times get stuck between motor.
So if your motor is not working, try *#*#3424#*#*, run vibration test and listen for small clicking noises, if thats there, then im certain its the same fault as i had in my phone.
Hello, for those who have the problem of vibration that no longer works, before sending it in for service try the following steps (I so I solved the problem!):
Remove the microSD slot and blow hard inside.
Magically my M9 has started to vibrate forever ....
Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience. I too had the exact same problem. Few taps on the right corner and vibration was back, but always stopped working again.
I tried the "blow hard" method and didnt work.
Took my M9 to my local tech-hardware guru and after opening it we found the problem. Seems that the motor is defective, its like "really tight" in its interior. For the amount of posts on this thread could be a faulty batch of motors that HTC installed on some devices.
What he did was desoldier the 2 cables that bo to the motherboard, raplced with another motor he had on stock. Its not the original one, but one that fitted perfectly. Solder it again and vuala! Worked perfectly.
Only thing i noticed after the quick fix was the motor he installed does not have the same "power" or "feeling" as the original, seems a bit a TINY BIT less powerfull, but works perfecly.
So if you have this problem, just take it to your local tech saavy guy or if you have warranty sent it to HTC, but the tech guy fix will be 100 times faster. he fixed mine in 10 minutes.
Regards!

Got M9 and same problem occured, glad to found this thread. Smack on my knee, so it get bump not so hard and it's working again. Gonna try with blowing SD tray next
