A5 2017 vibration problem - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Sometimes my phone's vibration is not working, I need to shake it first before it start working again. It clearly is a hardware problem. Just want to ask if anyone had this problem too. And if you have some advice that will be totally appreciated. Thank you.

Yeah i realized my phone not vibrating when i receive phone calls even though i set it to vibrate.

did anyone found a solution? Mine does the same, tried everything. sometimes the vibration is there and sometimes it's completely gone ...

sometimes the vibration feedback comes back after shaking the phone heavily. So I guess it is a hardware problem (loose connection)

if shaking the phone triggered the vibration, then i suggest you contact samsung for repair or replacement.

Hi, you aren't alone. I got the exact same problem on my A7 2017.

Have the same problem. It has occurred after the oreo update.

Hello, everyone... I'm from Brazil, and I have the same problem too. I've just shaked heavily my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and it came back to works...!! Definitely looks like a hardware problem. :-/

+1 for hardware problem. facing the same issue for a320
need to share it heavily or until it wont work anymore, need to open the backdoor, open using screwdiver, find the vibration module on the bottom right part of phone. i need to hit it couple times until the vibration work again.
but i have to test the vibration first, is it still work or not by using + & - cable (power source = 5v)

Same problem here. I was using google's keyboard because.... because Samsung had to cheapen a great phone via software penalties. Whatever. All they had to do was put in a smaller battery. I'll be romming this sucker up probably past the S 12. Plenty of bloatmobiles to hose down in between. Have your vibrator, Samsung, you earned it. Save some for the carriers, too.

Dial *#0*# (If it not works, then use *#9998*842#
You can test a lot of features
If vibration didn't work give the phone good shake
If not then it HW

So, still no solution for this? Has anyone determined if the vibration module itself or the connection to it is the most likely point of failure? The vibration unit costs about 3 Bucks, I'm more worried about the waterproof seal after opening it...

I had an A5 and about 4 or 5 months in the vibration was not working properly. I just kept it off. It would work and then just quit and mess up my texts. I was using google keyboard to get the feedback. But obviously that never panned out.

Okay, because nobody asked for this, here's my update in a new thread.

I don't know if people will see my post.
But I solve it. My A5 2017 doesn"t vibrate suddenly.
In a first time I thought it was a software problem.
So I factory reset my A5 2017 but the vibrator doesn't work.
I formatted my A5 2017 using the sofware Odin on my computer in a second time.
But the vibrator doesn't work again.
I read before after shaking the phone the vibrator work for a few time.
I shook my phone and pressed Down/Up inputs to switch my phone between Vibrator/Sound mode. The vibrator ran just one time.
Finally I call the *#0*# and select Vibrator.
Nothing happened.
I shook hard the phone during the *#0*# vibrator test and suddenly it began to vibrate. And I let it vibrate during whole the test (around 10/20 sec).
My A5 2017 run perfectly after day after day.

Are you on crack?
Here are the facts:
Vibration working BEFORE Oreo update.
Not working AFTER Oreo update.
Here is a misguided, foolish assumption:
This a hardware problem.
This is an intelligent response:
WHAT?

Worked for me. But not for long.
The vibrator runs fast, slow, or not at all. Definitely a hardware problem, but it's long out of warranty now.

[Q] Notification sound and vibrate not working

For some reason the notification sound and vibrate won't work on my Galaxy Nexus for long periods of time even though they are set to. It doesnt matter what the notification is for, text message, facebook, gmail, etc I will not get a sound or a vibrate to let me know, just the LED will flash. It will be like this for hours and then work for a bit and then stop working again! What is going on? I'm running stock 4.0.2
For me sounds work but vibrate for notifications doesn't

Go into settings that are in the sms app and select vibrate always, it will be way at the bottom

For me I have absolutely no clue what the problem is. I know its not settings because I have looked everywhere plus it goes back and forth between working for a bit and not working for a long time all on its own. I've even tried a factory reset and the problem persists. Could it be a hardware issue?

Same problem for me, vibrates for phone calls, and when shutting down, also when turning volume down, but not for any other notifications. (Yes, I set all the individual settings to "vibrate".) Must be a bug with the phone, lots of others are complaining about this problem as well. Hopefully this will be fixed with an update.

Just tried Sound Manager V2, and set vibration to "vibrate whenever possible". Now all is well! Disappointing that this setting does not work in Android settings though.
So I know this thread is pretty old but I never did find a solution to this problem and thus got rid of my Galaxy Nexus and went to an iphone for a while. I have a galaxy Nexus again and am having the exact same problem. I have done everything everyone has suggested and trust me it has nothing to do with settings. For a while notifications will work as they are supposed to but then they will suddenly stop working properly (won't vibrate or make the sound) until i reboot the phone and then it will work for a short period before not working again. I've tried a factory reset and all that fun stuff and nothing helps.
Sound Manager V2 worked for me
Same issue here, and Sound Manager V2 fixed the vibration issue for me. Had every vibrate setting I could find set to always vibrate and yet my phone would only vibrate on the vibrate only setting.
I hate to bump an old thread... but, it perfectly explains my issue. Has anyone ever discovered the cause or a fix for this? All of my settings are properly enabled. The issue seems to occur any time I switch the phone to "vibrate" mode, using either the volume rocker or the power menu. Whenever I try and turn the volume back up (again, either via volume rocker or power menu), notifications stop completely, except for the notification light. Reboot fixes the issue each time. But, it's very frustrating, and reminiscent of the BlackBerry days of battery pulls. Ugh!
same problem
same here -_-

Jellybean problems

First off, if this has already been done then sorry im obviously blind, if not then i think its a good place to post any jellybean related problems and fixes that people have discovered.
so here goes, i updated from the ota on thursday the 12th of july i had a totally stock yakju device with the build number imm761 (JRO03c after update)
problems i have found so far are
1.after every reboot the, screen stay awake during charging option is ticked in developer settings
2.the google now command of navigate me home will take you to a random address near your home even after setting home address in navigation app and in latitude (as far as i can tell this is only happening outside the us)
3.lock screen will only ever say 99% charged even when in battery settings it reports fully charged
i have not found a fix for any of these issues nor do i know if they are just problems on my device (barring the google now navigate me home command)
so if anyone could report if they have the same issues or have found fixes please post here.
thanks
Now has stopped listening for the keyword "Google". After a couple days with out reboot it seems that Now no longer responds when I say Google. I have to hit the mic button. A reboot would fix it... but a weird bug to say the least.

yes i knew i forgot something thanks also the option to enable this feature randomly disappears
I have a big problem since I did update to Jellybean
My phone charge itself, without it connected to AC power or PC.
And when I want to charge the power source does not load.
Last night I put in charge and not loaded than when we closed and I pressed power button + down button.
and camera, how do I set resolution? I make pictures. PNG 720x1280 on ICS I could change the resolution,
Jealybean sucks

You have reached the Holy Grail of getting power to a mobile device—this is not a problem/consider yourself very lucky.
I do not think this is too good for battery life, and actually not charge only indicate that charge
Probably hardware issue.

That's a pretty common Samsung issue, usb port dirty, faulty.
Either clean it or go to repair.

2) I'm in the UK and don't have this bug, ensure your home address is set correctly on maps.google.com and that when you click it the pointer is showing your house only and not a generic area.
3) Again, not experienced this. My lockscreen shows 'Charged' when at 100%
Sorry fella
I can't speak to the first two problems but I can confirm that it only charges to 99%. It's been that way on every ROM I've used since stock 4.0 so now I just say 'close enough'.

Battery stats is what's responsible for indicating charge to my knowledge. Try wiping battery stats in CWM

I've seen this happen before on a brand new HTC X One, happened after about 4 days of being used. We let the phone fully run down and then just changed it, didn't come back again.

Earpiece volume too low

Suddenly i got an issue with earpiece. It's almost impossible to hear a word from call (GSM and whatsapp). It's too low. I have to press it hard against my ear to hear it clearly. It suddenly happened. No clue about how did it happen. Tried "mixer_path.xml" edit, but it gets denied saying "read only" file. I'm on Oxygen OS 4.0 official (Rooted). Tried freedom OS too. but the issue still presence.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks
Unfortunately, I am coming with bad news. You should open an RMA and send your device to service center. I had this issue too, i sent back my phone and they replaced the earpiece in it.

You can, only issue is, no OE spares are available in the market.
For anyone with a Low In-Call voice handset volume problem. What this means is if you are on the phone with someone in a voice call with the phone up to your ear and not on speakerphone and you have a hard time hearing them, then you try to turn up the volume on the side of the phone but its already at max volume then try this.
TWRP-Low-InCall-Volume-Fix.zip >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298967516
This is a TWRP flashable file that corrects the file 'mixer_paths_tasha.xml' which is completely missing the entries to boost the volume.
I had this problem and it corrected it on most Oxygen OS based Roms.. I am using 'FreedomOS-CE-op3t-nevax-2.9-signed.zip' and its working SO GOOD!

Guys for any one with low audio :i have change 3 earpiece for this 3 weeks and using this sound mod but allways i had low volume ,the last time i changed the earpiece i cleaned under the earpiece (i removed the protection under the earpiece) and there was very but veryyyy dust,i cleaned every bit of dust since i see the light from earpiece in front of the display i used the hairdryer ,and now i can hear very well.
I also have this problem. Earpiece speaker volume is very low! Is there any solution at the moment? I don't have root on my OP3T.
I had to clean the earpiece mesh with a soft brush. The holes are so small, the oils from our face and the dust close them shut. It's not a sofware issue and not a speaker hw failure.

Thank you thank you. Call volume is now loud and adjustable with Creeper36's patch above. For other average users or folks coming from google, I followed GadgetHacks "Root Your OnePlus 3 or 3T & Install TWRP Recovery" article (minus the SuperSU zip install for root, that kept crashing my device). Root is not necessary for this patch just TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, put Creeper36's zip in an accessible directory on your phone, reboot into TWRP recovery, select "install", locate the low volume patch, and go for it.
Brace Your Selfs Long Post Coming (WITH FIX)
Guys the solution is simple ...!
Let's tell you my story. I was a very satisfied OP3 user, until one day .... my speaker volume was so low i could not even listen to a person at a room without any noise. (3 months ago) .
My first thought was that the problem is from the rom (Was using FreedomOS BETA at that time ) so i changed to FreedomOS Stable but the problem was the same , let's try again changed to Stock rom problem still there .
So let's go on and try the roms (Lineage Os , Mokee Os , Resurrection Remix , etc ) every rom had the same issue Low volume.
Next thought might be a problem from the earpiece (got some spare earpiece parts from ebay ) they arrived, i changed the earpiece .... slightly more volume but still useless.
Ok let's try mixer_paths changed the max volume to 95 but issue still there ... I was disappointed i thought it was a motherboard problem ... i gave up ... after some days my screen cracked but it was working ( I love my OP3 and i bought a new LCD ) .
Then after i got the part i changed all my parts to the new Screen .
The volume of the earpiece like magic goes back to normal .
So i took the old screen (cracked but still working) and cleaned the earpiece's grill (after you remove your earpiece there will be probably a black layer of Speaker Cloth remove that too and then you will see the grill ) , it had a thick layer of dust in it , i used some alcohol an old toothbrush a little force at the grill and after i removed all the dust i putted the old earpiece and the cloth back in (the first i thought it had a problem ) I reassembled the phone and volume was like new ....
If you are in warranty it's not a good idea if not try it the simplest solution was the correct one .

So I flashed this through TWRP (using OP3 with stock updated Oxygen OS), and now I have no sound at all.. How to fix?
[SOLVED] - I HAVE FINALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM
ITS NOT THE HARDWARE ISSUE ITS NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND ITS NOT A EARPIECE ISSUE
SOLUTION
1) REMOVE SCREWS
2) REMOVE BACK COVER
3) REMOVE THE MOTHER BORAD
4) REMOVE THE EARPIECE
NOW IF U SEE BELOW ULL SEE A NET REMOVE THE NET AND THEN TAKE A BRUSH
1ST CLEAN THE NET
2ND CLEAN THE GRILL WHICH IS ON THE SCREEN (ONCE U CLEAR JUST CHECK IN THE LIGHT IF U CAN SEE THINGS CLEARLY FROM THE GRILL - ONLY USE LITTLE DEO SPRAY)
5) PUT EVERYTHING BACK AND BOOT PHONE
job well done!!!!!!

Since I live in Mexico, trying to get an RMA from OP is almost impossible.
So, I ordered an ear speaker for my OP3 from Aliexpress, and I replaced it using this video:
https://youtu.be/TVHO3CVt8hs
And no, there is no difference, the problem still persist. In an local android repair center, they guy there told me that the earpseaker from the OP3 is similar to the ones other phones have, so I may try to use other earpseaker from other phone but I don’t expect that to fix this problem.

Can confirm this works, mine was really blocked. Couldn't see daylight through it. Had to scrape the muck and dust from inside front cover.
Nice and loud now.

LineageOS 7.1.1 G900T randome blue black screen

I have a G900T running Lineage OS 7.1.1 latest build. When I am out and want to use my phone I keep getting this screen, and I want to know how can I fix it. I keep having to remove my battery and reboot to clear it up until it happens again. Any ideas?

Are you saying it doesn't happen at home? Maybe something to do with location or data? Or is it just not waking up properly?
(When I first instilled 7.1.1 I had a black screen from boot but I had the notification bar showing and other layers like power menu would show, is your whole screen black)

That is exactly what I am saying. Sometimes I just look to see the time. When I press the power button to wake it up when it does happen which is quite a bit and I never know when.
When it does happen it will wake on that screen and sometimes I will see the lock screen for a second then it goes to that. I need to then remove the battery and reboot the phone.
This mostly seems to happen when I am out. Usually when I need to do something at the worst time.
Then if I am looking something up for someone, I need to be telling the person holdup while I reboot my phone.

strange that you get that screen, otherwise it sounds a bit like people who have lock screen issue & have to reboot to get phone working again. Related to display &/or touch problem I think
This is often caused by dropping their phone, have you? Knocking it on different edges sometimes fixes it, but you need to be careful not to break screen! Though better solution probably is to open it and reseat pcb, screen connectors etc.
Also using magnetic phone covers can do this, I think.
Else can't think of anything apart from software (affecting your phone only it seems) maybe clear data on lock screen service app .... maybe clear any profiles you are using ...... else the dreaded factory reset or clean flash, but I'm sure you know that and don't want to do it!

Yeah this only started happening after installing Lineage OS 7.1. I will try another lock screen. Hopefully that will take care of it. You are right I don't want to do a reset.

hope it works or an update to a future release of LOS just fixes it, as happened with my notification bar

Issue when the phone is on loudspeaker

Loudspeaker is useless on my Note 10+ and even on my sisters note 10 if you switch on loudspeaker during the call. Call qualiti is getting bad. Away like one or 2 meters cant hear me the other person. On my other samsung phone like a71 you can even hear me like 10meters far. And if you use viber no problems. Any idea somebody who have a same problem?
30 feet away? wtf? 2-3 feet max.
To increase volume you could try altering hidden user settings to increase it.
Or use bt Buds+ which work very good.

To increase volume you could try altering hidden user settings to increase it.
Or use bt Buds+ which work very good.

Maybe noise cancelling. Or firmware version.
Compare firmware and phone app versions of the phones.
Make sure the volume limiter is not active.
I'm running Pie, more options may be available on other versions. Try running the phone speaker volume control from 0 to 100% 3 times.
Clear system cache on boot menu.
Try in safe mode to rule out 3rd party app interference.
Don't go too nuts as this is a minor problem. Upgrading could cause more issues that are more troublesome than this! A factory reset likely won't solve this. Double check all associated settings. Samsung is notorious for "hidden" settings. Some can only be called up by a search in settings if you know its name
Some only if you double tap an unmarked setting box. Quit the box of surprises... even after 3 years I continue to find new things on the Samsung Pie/One UI firmware. One of the reasons I don't upgrade especially if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue in actual use unless you do something stupid.

Thx for your time!!!
1. Yes i think also that can be a nois cancelling bec when we talk on phone we cant hear the background music not at all that means for mee here is some noise cancel active. But i cant found a setting to switch off at all no options for that to turn off. Maybe this is the problem maybe the phone thinks that my voice is a backround noice than cancel it. Any idea how to switch off?
2. Cant do nothing with the firmware its already updated the newest from everything.
3. "the phone speaker volume control from 0 to 100% 3 times."? Who can i do that? and why?
4. What is volume limiter?
5. This problem is a major problem for use like this a phone is useless and i will sell it bec in many situations we cant use the phone.
thx for you time
