Phone not Vibrating - hardware problem? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi boys,
I just wanted to ask this to make sure, because I'm annoyed at the fact that I have to send my Tytn in again
Is there a way to make sure that the reason my phone is not vibrating is a hardware fault, as opposed to some software that's getting in the way?
Thanks

sorry if this is too simple a suggeston, but have you checked the ring type is set to ring and vibrate: - start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab (at the bottom) - click the "event" drop down box - scroll to "incoming call" - click "ring type" drop down box - select ring and vibrate.

Depends on what you want it for:
Go to Start/Settings/[Personal tab] Sounds & Notifications/[Notifications tab]
Check the events. You might have one that you have the Vibrate checkbox ticked. For the Event - Phone: Incoming call, you might have the Ring Type set to Vibrate, Vibrate and ring or Vibrate then ring.

O2 mini won't play a sound when receiving an SMS.

Hi all
Can anyone help me here.....
When I get an SMS, the message pops up but no sound plays.
I have assigned "Alarm 1" to the "Messaging: new Text message" in settings, sounds & notifications. I have checked "play sound" and "display message on screen".
When I hit the play button in the sounds and notifications tab the alarm plays
Volume is set for the PDA
Thanks in advance
i need to know how to do this also
Figured this one out today!
Start - Settings - Sounds and Notification.
Select the "sounds" tab.
You must have the box next to "programs" checked and the box next to "Notifications (alarms, reminders)" as well.
If you didn't have this done, you may need to soft reset after doing it. Your master control for the PDA will also affect the sound level of your SMS message (not the phone volume).
good luck

New text message notification problem [help please]

Hi,
I just bought my experia phone and encountered this problem where the phone does not vibrate when a new text message is received.
I have selected the vibrate option in the sounds and notification settings, but it does not work.
The phone vibrates when there's an incoming call though.
Is there something wrong with my phone?
Help greatly appreciated.

Did you set the vibrate option for the point "Messaging: New SMS" (you can chose it in the drop down menu in the "sound and notification" settings).
If it does not vibrate then, some other program seems to change the registry value for this setting.
Hello... I have the same problem... What can I do to slove this problem???
Shall I install a new ROM???
Thank you...
did you marked the items of "event","progams,"notification",
I think,that must be the problem on ROM,if you have been marked that three items and selected the correct option.try to flash other rom.
BTW,the strength of x1's vibrator is too weak,sometimes you can hear it vibrating clearly but can't feel it. good luck

Vibration during call

Hi,
I had this problem
I was talking to my friend and another call came in and the phone starts to vibrate :S it was sooooo annoying and the other person did hear clearly that I have a waiting call, it was so embarrassing
Is there's any solution to make the waiting call just beeps or do something unnoticeable
Thanks
Do you have in your phone settings that with an incoming call phone vibrates first before rings? Did not check but perhaps changing that to only ring may help.
Where's that setting exactly ?
(p.s: i dont want to change the whole phone ringing settings I just want to change the way it notifies me when I have incoming waiting phone call)
Go to start/settings/personal/phone.....choose tab phone and change ring type into a setting without vibrate.....
Again did not check myself.....

That doesn't really sound like a solution to me. He wants it to vibrate on a new call but not when he's actually in a call. I can imagine that this is very annoying.
I did a quick search and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437279 try Valert 1.21 app.
And let us know if this solves the problem.....
Thanks,
yes Pierreken it's very annoying and so embarrasssing
and @Frank Caarls VAlert ruins my volume keys and I dont think that it has something to do with my problem
Pitty.....although one of the features mentioned is "No vibration on waiting call".....
When you read through the messages it indeed creates a problem with HTCvolume control ......Ochakov needs to make an update
You have to decide which is your worst problem.....
Well I have to admit that I missed the "No vibration on waiting call"
LOL now the question is:
Which you need the most
1-Volume keys
2-Disable vibration on waiting calls
Odd, I just tried calling myself whilst already on the phone, All my mega does is beep quietly.
You can turn off Call Waiting notifications by:
Pressing Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS Services
Press Call Waiting, and get the settings, simply press "Do not notify me" and OK
How's that ?
What ROM version do you have ?
and your solution will disable call waiting service (I suppose)

Have that setting aswell in my custom Rom with the option "Notify me".....when I get a waiting call my screen lights-up.....but no vibration.....
I did try that option
but when I choose "Do not notify me" and click ok
then to check I click on "get settings" I get "Notify me" option choosen again
im using ROM version 1.28.110.3
when you press Do not notify me, press ok, then press OK to close the settings, go back into the GSM/UMTS settings and get the settings, it should have saved the settings.

[Q] Vibration type setting not taking?

Anyone else having this issue? In "Settings - Sound - Under Ringtones and Notifications - Vibrations" I am trying to change it to Heartbeat but everytime I receive any notification it still vibrates as if it were set to Basic Call.

as stupid as this sounds, after you select it, make to hit save at the top.

There isn't a save option. If I go back into settings Heartbeat is still selected. Even after a reboot. So it looks like the setting is selected correctly it just isn't working.
