Vibration issue - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys.
I have searched whole forum but could not find answer. I have Note II, rooted and with ROM seen below. Everything was working fine even after I dropped my phone few times. One morning I woke up and vibration wasnt working. It is working but it so weak you can barely feel it. Tried every setting and every app for it. Tried to reflash, factory reset, no help. Today I left it for repair, they said to me that vibrator motor looks fine and there has to be software issue. I am helpless. Thanks in advance for any hints.

Well but I would except that the technician would fix it as he had it opened. Dont you know a guide for this? I would do it by my own.

Speakerphone works, but normal mic+speakers broken :\

Good Morning,
Unfortunately my HTC Touch Pro2 has stopped working properly.
Everything works fine except microphone and speaker when I answer a call (or call someone). I can still communicate via speakerphone, but that's rather inconvenient.
Is there anyway I can fix my phone?
(it's out of warranty)
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor
Isn't this the answer to your problems?

Thanks JackOS (I use your ROMs BTW), but that didn't fix the problem...
The other caller/call-receiver can hear me, but I can't hear them.
Please tell me what I can do to fix the problem (I tried the .cab, and when that didn't work, I tried the manual Phone->Advanced setting change)
Thanks,
Alec Taylor
If you use my roms there is no need for the fix I provided.
Looks like you have a hardware failure. There is nothing I can do about it.
Did you ever find a fix? My phone started having this issue yesterday.

If it's a hardware issue, there isn't much to be done software-wise... as Jackos clearly states.
Good luck.

Most probably your Flex ribbon cable is going bad.

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.

[Q] One X calling audio issue

Hi guys, i have just encountered this problem, it was fine in the morning but gone wrong later then. The calling audio is not working and also the no sound from callers when answer the call. However Everything works fine, The in-call vol is max, songs can be played, calling using speaker on is viable as well as when headset is put on. The normal call is just not working even though it is factory reset
Mind to figure out what problem is this? thanks!
Freddy
Try flash the latest radio , and another kernel , if this doesn't work you should send back you phone . Have you been in a high humidity environment or drop water on in ?

Same here. Any ideas yet??
Hi everyone!
I took some time this weekend to look into this problem again. I tried different roms, including different ICS and JB and even went back to stock (nand backup from first day). No success, still no sound from the front speaker when calling.
While flashing i tried both with sim card in the phone and without, i always did full wipe and flashed boot.img from fastboot. Still not working. No app that needs this speaker works, i also tried skype and talk. So i am out of options now. Is there anything i can do? Would it help to flash a different kernel?
I guess the hardware got broken somewhere along the line. Would HTC fix it under warrenty? Does anyone have experiences with that?
Thanks again for all your kind help! I know this might be cross posting but im going to try and get my problem solved in other threads as well.

I had the same issue and got it fixed at the HTC service center. I also had wifi fixed and changed my LCD since there were yellow spots on my screen. Since the phone was under warranty everything was done for free.
Ok thanks, i will try HTC sercive center nearby. Though im on unlocked, rooted device so im not sure how they will react... will report!

Epic4g SPH-D700 Mic issues

I have seen that others have had this issue and not found a solution as to how they fixed it.
I just bought this phone from ebay and it was working fine then one day I was using Voxer and the mic wasnt working. I tried talking on the phone to a friend and they could not hear me as well. If I reboot the phone the mic works again. Others have said there are 2 mics in the phone and one is malfunctioning at times. Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you repair it?
I have tied installing CM10 (JellyBean) and it seems to work but I didnt test very long to make sure. Jellybean seemed to have issued with the screen and I couldnt install google apps with Clockworkmod and had to install manually. I ended up flashin back to the Normal Sprint 2.3.6 ROM (My Wife like it better). The problem is still there though. Any Help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'm pretty sure the issue is the connection for the mic inside the phone is loose.

the mic appears to be directly soldered from pics I have seen. I am not sure if it is a surface mount solder or not. The mic works after restarting the phone.
**EDIT** Looks like I was wrong on that. I must have been looking at some other phone. I found this break down of the phone here: h ttp://ww w.youtube.c om/watch?v=g6npRaFm0d4 looks pretty straight forward. I may tear it all down then put it back to gether and see if that corrects it. Thank you

Sound Issue: No internal speaker/No microphone/No sound by bluetooth

Hi guys,
Im here to speak about my mi 10t who got some sound/mic issue.
Everything was working good but one day, the phone muted himself on stock Rom.
When i tried to use the tap recorder, the app said "verify if an app is using the microphone an try again."
I try to put a Custom rom on it but it's the same with Lineage Os.
Now, internal and external speaker stoped working. Microphone too.
the bluetooth connect well to a device but when i play a song, no sound happen.
Even on twitter or reddit, when i tried to play a video its say, Error to load the video.
When i tried to call someone, the app close immediately
I can only send sms and read them.
Please helps
Hello,
I have the same problem just like you 1 month now,tried everything , even install custom ROMS but the problem remains.
Did you drop your phone down? I cant remember that i did , but if i shake my 10T pro near my ears i can hear that something is moving inside my device.
The temporary fix that i had was to reboot many times my device and reopen it , clear the data from phone services , but couldnt find any permanent fix though.
Does anyone else has this?

Hey!
I am running lineage and the problem is still there !
Ahah, a friend just remember me that i threw a whole beer on it during a party like 3 months ago..
I totaly forgot that and i think i was too drunk to remember.. unfortunately!
But the phone is like new and nothing is moving inside
Yes if i reboot/wipe data 363637x time it has a chance to work but the problem come back fast
I use a second phone where i put my sim on it and play with the mi10
It's sad because that 144hz screen is fkin good
And i still can't Say if it's a software or an hardware bug.
Because if i open the phone, change the internal/external speaker for nothing i will be a bit pissed
But still a good phone even muted aha

Hey,
Thanks for the answer.
I had a similar accident as well . My question though is what causes the sound issue. if i try to reboot/wipe this (which i dont want to wipe all my data every week ) there is a change also for me to work.
Do you have any idea how can i fix this ? should i give it to somebody who can open it for me as its a hardware issue?
I have the same problem, has anyone found the solution?

Entirely unrelated to the issue, but just to calm some folks
The Mi 10T Pro model rattles because the camera has OIS (the camera module itself moves). This can also give a slight rattling effect when playing very loud music
Don't worry about it

Try to open the phone x50 times and dont let it close again....This is the only way that i found out , but cant/ dont have the time to switch it off x50 times.
same problem here...
i've dropped my phone one time and after that, no sound at all.
the assistance shop said that all the components were good, but the problem remains
my last try was to flash the xiaomi stock rom, but no results
Had a similar issue.
Even multiple factory resets also didn't help.
However tried another sim and did a reset and it was working fine.
Now then after few days it again happened
Now this time I probably understood what was triggering the issue. I had paired my headphones(Bluedio Turbine) with both my laptop and phone. Using one at a time it was working fine. However if there's a call from both laptop and phone then the phone went into this state.
Again tried resetting multiple times. This time tried replacing the sim with a different sim. Different from the one in previous attempt and the sim change trick also did not work. Then tried again with the same sim which had fixed it earlier and it worked.
So in short these are the steps that helped me. Seems like only sim might have worked however don't know for sure.
Take proper backup of your data. Also this may or may not work for you.
Factory reset from settings.
Shutdown phone.
Press volume up and power button and hold them for some time till the phone starts up.
Use power button and volume key to wipe data.
I did this 3-4 however I think so it is t required.
Replace your sim with another sim. I had replaced my Airtel sim with a different Airtel sim and it worked for me. However replacing Airtel with jio did not help.
Start the phone.
Setup the phone.
Phone might start behaving fine.

Ignore this. This again happened after the last fix. Now again I can not use the mic. In CIT check if I try to test any of the mics, top or main the app crashes. Seems to be related to the mic. However don't understand how come event Bluetooth calls fail.
Another thing that I tried was putting the phone in refrigerator for around 10-15 mins. The phone was switched off before being put in the refrigerator. It generally works after that.
However it is generally good only till a restart.
Try at your own risk.
Must be something to do with the firmware only. And problem seem to be happening at the time of a reboot. Right at the time when MIUI logo appears during a reboot, if you dont hear the bootup sound, then the system audio wont work.
What fixes for me is multiple reboots until you hear the bootup sound. Most of the time, it takes just a couple of reboot. Max it has taken for me is 7.
Problem with loading of audio driver?!
Hi all,
Is there any update on that issue ? I still have that phone doing nothing at the moment. So i was wondering if there is any chance to use it.
I have the same problem.

New Mi10T Pro - No Sound at all
Brand new device. Flashed custom OS (Arrow OS and google pixel)- no sound at all. No Youtube sounds, no call sounds, no media sounds, even Bluetooth, even with headphones. Phone are silent absolutely. Please help. Thanks in advance, guys!
forum.xda-developers.com
you may find a solution there.
I still have the error
Still same problem here. I even updated to a custom rom, but no difference. Even sound via bluetooth does not work nor sound via USB.
Anyone has a theory how that could happen?
