[Q] Continous Vibration

Hello people!
I am a new member with XDA Developers
Anyways, I would like to ask if any of you face this problem where at any random time the phone would start vibrating continously until you shut down the phone and is there a fix for this?

Hello and welcome the the XDA Forum!
I've found at time that the app "Whatsapp" when I get a message, My phone will constantly vibrate until the screen goes off for 5-10 seconds then it's fine until I turn the screen / unlock the phone, I think it's a common problem as I remember someone else had this issue.

Yes i also found that too, but sometimes I encounter the problem with SMS too. Never encountered this problem with my previous phones, the GALAXY Ace (GT-S5830) and the GALAXY 3 (GT-I5801)

It hasn't done it for SMS for me but yeah it never did it on my previous phone either ZTE Blade

When my profile switch app change profile and take phone to silent mode sometimes makes my W too...
The only solution reboot...

Looks like this affects all GALAXY W's

Yes, and it happens always the best time... meetings, driving...etc.

never happen to me
but if it happened, I'll flash a new fresh ROM and see if it solves the problem

Happens to mine, seems like it was only when Whatsapp and something else had a notification at the same time.

that's weird, mine never experience it
I have tried stock, Bagux's, Blacknote, Kezra, and deodexed rom.
maybe something to do with HW version?
mine is rev 0.6 (via *#2222#)

Unfortunately mine too. No more idea.

Damn, mine is also REV 0.6 as well.

Still same problem
Mine also rev 0.6
Tried Rebel Rom, Bagux, Bionic Cow 2 v 7, stock DXLM3, stock XXLM8 , all still has the same random vibration.
And the vibration won't stop until you reboot.
Probably hardware related?

This happens to me since the first day I got this phone...
Honestly, it's annoying me !
Cause the only way to Stop it, is a reboot..
Sometimes it starts to vibrate in school, and as Im using a TPU SoftCase it's even more uncomfortable...
I thaught I was the only one, but seems like it affects all Wonders..
No matter which Rom I use, everytime the same Problem
A random time.

HOX Vibration problem

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.

That's bad luck...I hope they are giving you a replacement instead of just fixing it...

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.

Touchscreen problems

So I am having this problem since 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 update. Once or twice a day the screen won't respond to touch. Should I use a custom kernal or this might be a hardware problems.

How do you fix it when it happens? Do you have to restart? Does the touch fail or does the tablet freeze?
Honestly not very sure what you could do, besides maybe trying a factory reset? That would work if a software problem.
What about cleaning it and removing any screen plastic guard.

U can say it freezes then I have to restart it. This is happening after two factory resets.

Same issue here, I think.
Just purchased a refurbished Nexus 7 (official factory refurbished) from Amazon. My touch screen works great for a day or so, but eventually touch stops working altogether and sometimes requires a hard-reboot (holding the power for 10-seconds). Downloaded a touch screen test app which works great (even with ten fingers on the screen), tracking well on all parts of the screen. It's just like the touch atrophies over time until it stops working.
First thing I did to the tablet after getting it was to unlock the bootloader and load stock/rooted 4.4.4. Is there some way to update the touchscreen firmware that I'm missing?
I don't want to open this thing up and muck with the hardware for fear of damaging it. I'm holding out hope that there is a software fix, because rebooting fixes it right up.

Oops - I looked at the link to the hardware fix, but not the firmware fix. Thanks, I'll give this a try first.

Firmware fix above seems to have alleviated the issue for me. At least I haven't seen the issue over the last several days, which is good news. Hopefully that holds up over the long term. :good:

problem with keyboard htc one m8

after i update phone to 5.0.1 sometimes i have a problem with keyboard ,randomly they stopped work ,
when i tapping the place and keyboard should appear nothing happens.
after one or two minut going back :/
any experience with this,,
thank guys

i noticed the same thing...i had to reboot the phone few times...

Same issue here!
You can wait till christmas, but nothing works to get your keyboard back..except booting..

Yes same issue here. I've mentioned it not long after the Developer Edition received the OTA.
It's not even something that we can recreate, it's just completely random. It stays that way until a reboot and then it's fine again. Very irritating.

Hello, the same problem with the keyboard .On any firmware, I have 6 different firmware problem persists.
p . s . TEL Verizon

Still having this damn problem.. Anyone know if it's isolated to Verizon phones? I'm on Verizon 5.0.1 stock, both the HTC and Google keyboard do it. Completely random, about once every day to 2-3 days. So annoying.

I'm having trouble with my HTC one M8

I had a problem with the keyboard lagging which got worse after the lollipop update, I was considering a warranty claim or rooting the phone and then the microphone packed in and the decision was made, I called the network who advised me to send it to HTC for repair which I did, it also had a few sync problems too, I asked the technical support guy about this problem and he said it would have to be reflashed, I sent it to them and they did the work, replacement microphones, replacement receiver, replacement lower board, replacement rubber something or other which I was told is something under the screen, replacement camera and a few others and of course it was flashed, I got it back after 8 days expecting my otherwise brilliant phone to be as it should be as I have come to expect from HTC, I switched it on and did the initial stages of making it work, I let it restore the last backup I made (off the phone with faults) which reported had failed but it started to restore the backed up apps, settings and my contacts, everything restored to how I had it before minus a couple of apps and a few notification settings, I have been using it for 2 days now however the keyboard has not been fixed by flashing it, unless the errors could have been brought in by the restoration? I have experienced the screen freeze and start jumping, jumping to the all open apps page, keyboard lag, keyboard is inaccurate, I went into the EE shop and they said that it should go back to HTC again, I haven't tried to hard reset it and go back to the factory settings and not restore the backup image this time, I've never had any problems with the 3 HTC phones I've owned, it is a good phone otherwise

Damn, I just went back to Dev Edition and sure enough it happened to me. Has this ever been fixed? This is way too annoying for me.

Possible Fix
For what it's worth, I went into App Manager to clear the Sense Input data as suggested by a previous poster (thank you) but did not have a 'Clear Data' button. There was a 'Settings' button though where I was able to turn off HTC Sense Input, after which my Swype keyboard immediately started working again. First time I've been able to resolve this SUPER annoying issue without rebooting the phone. Time will tell if it's a real fix; I'll update this post if not.
Phone is a brand new M8, still on stock 5.0.1

Oneplus 5T suddenly lagging

Hi, so i've been using the Oneplus 5T for a year and just recently it started having issues with lag, making the phone unusable. I tried installing different roms without success(Oxygen OS Open Beta 23, Lineage OS 16, and Oxygen OS 5.1.4) and i have no idea what is causing it. This issue began while i was on the OOS beta 23 and it wasn't rooted, it just started behaving that way suddenly i didn't drop it or anything, also the screen blinks and start doing weird things sometimes. Did anyone had this issue? And what can be causing it? Thanks
Link to a video of my problem: https://youtu.be/17LOiftTf8w

Found the issue. Apparently it's caused by google play services, if i clear the data of the app the phone works fine and as soon as i install something from the store it starts lagging again

I always have this issue after finishing a clean setup on oxygen os beta. One restart for me solves and never returns.

If you find a solution please let me know i ran out of ideas my fix with the play services stopped working, thanks

What the hell is that lag issue seriously ??
I was thinking to flash a custom kernel and ROM but would it solve the issue ?
And the issue is completely random as well.

I have the exact same issue. Starts when i download something from playstore, open camera after a while or transfer big files e.g transferring data through oneplus switch. I have tried everything i could and didnt help. Upgrades, downgrades, root, trimming storage, clearing cache etc. Nothing is helping. If anyone finds a solution please tell me too. Really frustrated ?

The problem occured on official ROM but it comes back even on Lineage OS 16 (official too).
Do you think it could be a hardware issue ? If not, how come this problem happens even when flashing an other ROM ?

For me it lags all the time, the phone is unusuable. I can reboot, flash a new ROM ... nothing will solve it.
I had this problem for almost 3 weeks and no fix from Oneplus, so I will buy a new phone.

I had the same issue 2 months ago, I tried everything to fix the problem even did hard reset using oneplus' official program and it didn't work.
I came to a conclusion that it's a hardware issue so I sent my phone to repair and one week later I got my phone back fixed.
I recommend you to do the same if you still have warranty, the whole process took only one week. The customer service is really good.

Maybe try to reset your phone by using MsmDownloadTool, if that doesn't fix your problem then it must be a hardware issue.

The problem is that (not only i lost the warranty) but i'm not from the USA and sending them the phone is kind of hard and expensive, to the point that i think buying a new phone is cheaper. I reached to support anyways but i'm still waiting for a response after 3 days. What did they change on your phone?

I don't know what did they replace I didn't get any information about that. The screen is the same though they didn't change it, my guesses are either it's the motherboard or the motherboard to screen connector (it's called main flex I think, you can get on for about 3$)
