Has anyone else experienced vibration issues with this phone? I usually have mine in vibrate mode, and I've noticed that sometimes vibration will just stop working for some reason. Toggling the sound profile does nothing as well. I have the vibration strength at max level, and I can only get it to work again if I reboot the phone. So, I know the vibration motor is still fine. It is just really frustrating because it has caused me to miss important phone calls and some texts. Are others experiencing this problem as well? Is this a known bug and would an update fix this problem?
yes

Yes, it has happened to my G3. Try to turn off sub debugging. That may fix something. It may also be a software defect. It should be fixed in the next update. If not, use your warranty and get a New phone

You're not alone
I only see this happen when I'm on low battery (either 15% or 5% can't remember), it seems to disable vibrate
I have the battery saver setting off

So I've noticed this issue for a little while. I haven't heard others mention this issue but occassionally haptic feedback or vibration will stop occurring like the vibration driver or motor dies temporarily. I've tried to get logs showing the issue but I see nothing about this in the logs, either the kmsg or logcat, most likely making it a hardware issue as it comes back later on its own. It's not a ROM/kernel issue as it has happened regardless of the kernel or ROM.
It may be worth a try doing an RUU to stock froyo and re-rooting but I thought I'd just check if others have had this issue or have a suggestion. I didn't see this issue when I checked the auto-thread search feature when entering the title. I can check google to see if it's reported there. It's not too big of a deal except of the chance that the phone may not vibrate on an incoming call in vibrate only mode.
I mainly wanted to just see if I'm alone on this.

I can't really say for myself. I always turn all haptic feedback and vibrations off on mine but I'll turn it back on for a bit and see if I get similar results.

I noticed this from the beginning, but didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it was my fault. But it happens again and again and I'm sure I don't do anything to cause this.
The problem: often when I haven't used the phone for a while the ringer volume is mysteriously turned down to a miminum level.
I now lock the ringer volume with an app, so this kinda solved the problem for me. Nevertheless I'm wondering if there are others who have this weird volume behavior.
BTW this is not the "classical" volume bug that was solved a few days ago with the OTA patch.
Can't say I ever have any problem like that. Might be an app on your phone that is turning the volume down? I agree it's definitely not the button bug since you can't change the volume with those buttons without unlocking the screen.

This might be an app. For example the 1Password reader app changes your volume based on some setting in the app.
yep. since day 1. no idea what causes and it's definitely no app causing it as i returned to factory settings to test it out and i still had the same issue
i honestly think it's the placement of the volume buttons but really difficult to be certain, as sometimes i will find the phone on vibrate and i am 100% i haven't touched the volume button.
At least now i am know i am not going crazy as this has been my one and only gripe about the phone
what app are you using to keep the volume locked?
Does you phone have the update? If not, then I'd assume it is the bug.
Why would I assume that. Cause the bug picks up noise on the volume keys, which control volume of everything, ringers, media, notifications, ect. The buttons control different things depending on what screen you might happen to be on. So it's possible that the bug could change your ringer volume as well.

Ahhh thx, this was driving me bananas .. at least I now know that it can be mysteriously reproduced on other devices. I've tried to monitor my own actions but I'm also pretty sure I don't accidentally touch the volume keys. I didn't do extensive research because I just thought it wasn't worthwhile. But because I missed some calls lately because of this it is now pretty high on my annoyance list.
The app I'm using is Volume + (free version will do). Until now it seems to work well. It runs a background service and intercepts volume key presses events and pushes the volume back to a saved level. (Could have used that for the other volume bug)

Always difficult to say, but I wiped my device a few days ago to root it and didn't install many apps yet (only twitter and thumb keyboard)

I've installed the latest update (build ITL41F). Maybe the fix doesn't cover all scenarios yet?
Sounds like interference to me. The fix added a 2ms de-bounce time which is ALOT. What frequency is your network on? You should try fixing it to 3g just to check if that fixes it. If it does its most likely interference.
I wonder if you have a bad ground connection in it somewhere (hardware fault).
If you can tell me the frequency your network uses (or your operator and i'll look it up) I can calculate the GSM burst time and see how it fits in 2ms. Ironically the burst arrives when you're about to receive a call so its turning the ringer down just before it rings lol

My operator uses 900 MHz (for 2G) /1800 MHz (3g) . Operator is T-Mobile Netherlands
Btw I just accidentaly catched the bug doing it's nasty thing on 3g.
Anyone know where to report this?
Can't replicate this myself, however before submitting this as a bug maybe worth checking out the logcat trace around the time the volume is changing.
With the "SAV" issue, I seem to recall someone saw overrun errors in the log around the time of interference.
You may find something similar in the log or likewise there maybe some entries in there detailing a rogue process doing something a bit wacky which causes your issues.

SAV issue, overruns start on line 4
I'm also having this issue using: ICL35F.I9250XWKL2.
I can't find a way to reproduce it. If/when I find more info, I'll try to keep up to date.
From preliminary tests I've conducted, I now find Talk 4.0.2-235179 to be the culprit.
I have notification on and its tone is Silent. If I'm chatting with someone and that someone replies, the volume changes to 0???
I've written an app that polls the volume and notifies when it changes. Later today I might post the code.
Talk in Silent
Finally have a found the real reason. When Talk is set to:
Notification: System Bar;
Sound: Silent.
When a message comes and the chat is in foreground, the volume is changed to level 3.
The program I've made, once started, poles the sound level each 5 seconds and when it's different a notification appears.
To this post I've attached the .apk, its source and a silent ringtone to overcome this bug.

Thanks for your detective work. This is exactly what was causing my volume to seemingly change at random. It was especially annoying because some days I use gtalk quite a bit and other days not at all.
I linked to your post and this thread on the relevant Google Code Android bug report that someone had created back in December for the same issue. It can be found here if anyone cares to star the issue in hopes of giving this bug more exposure: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22579
I can confirm the problem. It only happens with Talk in the foreground running and with the silent notification on.
Thank you very much, I got the new One X and was wondering if it was a software bug in HTC software....guess not
So today I noticed that my HOX doesn't vibrate anymore. Not even at the startup.
I can't remember dropping it or something else. One thing that made me curious, I can't use *#*#3424#*#* for the Diagnostic Test. Everytime I'm typing it into the dialer the damn phone won't do a bloody thing. The code just disappears. So could this might be some weird software thing? Or is it really the vibration motor that's not working?
Is there a way to fix this? Maybe a lose connection?
Ok I just noticed that my sound is bugging too. Everything is turned to the max but the phone won't ring on a call. But the speakers definitely are working because I can hear music and other stuff.

Hey,
what rom are you using ?
Did you flashed it recently? If yes did you do a full wipe before flashing ?
The motor connector is unlikely to get disconnected( it gave me hard time to remove it when replacing my screen).
The speaker on the other hand is not connected with connector - its basically 2 pins making contact with the motherboard of the phone, so my suggestion is to try and apply some pressure on the grid on the back of your phone and check if there is a difference - if there is then you should open your phone and bent those pins upwards so the have better contact with the motherboard.
There is the possibility of speaker's driver being stuck( usually moisture) and my advice(old nokia trick) is to suck and blow the speaker so it gets unstuck
Good luck

I don't even know how to begin to troubleshoot this because it happens once in a blue moon, but when it does happen, it is annoying as hell. Every now and then, when I connect my phone through the auxiliary port to play music, there will be a phantom ring that persists even as the music is being played. It's kind of a quiet ring.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary cable does not fix the issue. The only way I can make this go away is by rebooting my phone. What in the world is this and has anyone else ever encountered this? I'm losing my mind thinking maybe the ringing is in my head, but others who have been in my car when this happened can confirm that I'm not a lunatic.

I read something about this. Some say the .10 update fixed the issue, and as a work a round placing a call resolves it or a reboot WITHOUT fastboot checked. At work atm and cant look up the references for that sorry, just what i remember.
I nvr had it on mine yet and it seems to happen when switching in/out of 4g/3g modes as well.
I've had this happen only once. Only it was over bluetooth while streaming audio to my car stereo. Had to reboot to get it to stop. WIERD!

i had it happen on my dna! but it only happened when i was out of signal, barely into 3g! it stopped when i put it in airplane mode and a reboot!
Well I'm glad it's not just me who has experienced this, but is there any way to completely resolve the bug? It's pretty annoying when it happens and even more annoying that it's difficult to replicate.

From what i seen on the VZW forums the only way to kill the sound is a re-boot or make a call of some kind.
Hey,
My phone has been randomly vibrating as if I get a notification, which I don't. It will give 2 short vibrations. Last week it's been happening more often. Does anyone know how I could fix the problem?
Thanks!

Now that you mention it, I've had a couple of Phantom Notifications too. Once my phone vibrated while it was even in my hand but when I unlocked it there were no notifications. I went into settings and disabled vibration for a number of system apps and so far I haven't experienced the vibrations yet. It's hard to tell if I've actually fixed it, or if the timing's just random though.

I had done that previously with some system apps, for a while it had gotten down. However, like I mentioned before, it had gotten a lot worse this week. I now turned off the sound and vibration for all (system) apps that I don't notifications from.
I'll let you know whether that fixes it or not.
Unfortunately, it didn't help
