I am used to using vibrating mode a long time with my regular cell phone.
I wanted to do the sam with the i-Mate, but I found out that I miss many calls since the vibrating is too weak.
Is it only me, or the vibrate is weak on all devices?
Is there a way to make it stronger, so I can feel it?
Hello all... Ok, as I stated in the subject of this thread, my vibration isn't working on my MDA. I don't know what is going on. I've tried ticking all the checkboxes that say vibrate... moved the slider down to vibrate only... etc.. I don't know exactly how to troubleshoot it properly as I don't really know the full capabilities of this phone. But as far as I know, if you put the phone on vibrate, it should vibrate when someone calls right? Not the case with my phone.
Please could someone help me figure out what is going on... maybe it's a hardware issue that is unfixable... but maybe, just maybe.... it's some sort of registry thing where I can get it to vibrate... I don't like missing calls due to my ringtone being drowned out by street noise (thank God for voicemail and call history)... Thank you again, hope someone has a solution for me
I had the same problem happen to my 8125. The phone would vibrate when I held the comm button to change it from ringer to vibrate. But, when I recieved a phone call or text message, the phone would not vibrate. I knew the vibrate was working because it did vibrate when I changed the ringer. I had to do a hard reset to fix the problem though, so that may be your only solution.
Same here. Can anyone tell me which part or component on the O2 XDA II mini is responsible for viration?
Soft vibrate
In my case, the vibrate is working, but it's lost all it's power....feels like the motor is giving up. Is this normal? Does a vibrate motor on a phone have such a limited lifespan?
If it's used a lot then it's feasible for such a tiny vibrate component to burn out after a while maybe after a year or more.
I recieved my HD2 yesterday from VF UK. This is a serious device, beautiful, sleek and powerful. However the Haptic touch vibration sounds strange? It sounds like there is something loose within the device itself, actually sounds a little like a blown speaker! Usually haptic touch doesn't make a sound it simply vibrates. Has anyone else experienced this? Should i send my device back?
Searched but couldn't find anything!!
Cheers DB
hi, i had 2 hd2 til now, the first was from htc and the second from t-mobile so i can compare. the tmobile one acts similar to yours. it sound like the motor wich makes the vibration jumps out of his monting point and ist hitting some metal parts. i wont return the device because the noise is only at the end of vibration and not that loud. it is more that it feels strange in the hand. as long as it stays like that i can live with it, because the rest is working well.
regards mad
has anyone experienced the problem of vibration not turning off when receiving email? my hd2 vibrated for like i dont know, at least almost 10minutes one night when i was sleeping and i was woken up by the sound of the vibration. thank God the vibration motor was not burnt due to overuse or overheat.
i had a windows mobile 5 htc made smartphone and the vibration motor almost got damaged once because the entire device got stuck and hang in one occasion when a call was received and i was out. the phone was charging and i think the vibration went on and on more God knows how long. when i got back, the motor was extremely weak, and i think permenantly damaged.
and i dont like the fact that in every windows mobile phone (or just htc phones) the vibration does not pulse, and is constantly on until the ringtone is finished playing. this is really dumb. has been like this since windows mobile 5. i've owned 4 htc made windows phone now and even the latest and greatest HD2 has not improved in this matter.

I would also like pulationg vibration.......while this way it will be more effective.. and saving some battery on teh other hand . then continously vibrating ..
may be someone can do it with some hack....

Add me to the list, mine got stuck from the text message alert, i thought it was just me! Although, i thought it might of been because the alert tone was too long (approx 10 seconds), i changed the alert tone to a shorter one and so far it seems to of stopped the problem.
I have the same issue, do we think this is ROM related or not?
I have this problem once only. It happened when I use Custom ROM. Running back the stock ROM, problem does not occur.
I have it as well
I have it as well ...and twice, also with the official ROM where I didn't install any Custom ROM so far.
i've had it twice now, first with official ROM, second, just 2 days ago, with custom ROM. and it all happened in the middle of night, 3-5am! darn phone woke me up with a scare! i thought i was the only one.

I had the same problem once, I have received an SMS during looking on weather and changing to view the home screen - it got stucked totally, I had to softreset the phone putting out the battery.
looks like we are not alone.. i hope more owners will take notice of this issue so we can collectively complain to htc. it's getting on my nerves waking me up in the middle of the night!
this morning with the alarm it vibrated non stop instead of with a few pauses, and it kept on vibrating untill I stopped the alarm..
sigh.. bug #667
Try this for phone and SMS vibration patterns;

For alarms, I use SPB Time 3.2 anyway... I love how they have a Bioalarm (Chirping birds, but relatively silent and ascending volume) and also how you can shake to snooze (which works really well and does not involve a serious shaking)
It happens for me too, but only when receiving text messages - it just keps buzzing
My "solution" in "Normal Mode" was to have only sound (I turned of vibration) when receiving text messages.
When on "Vibration Mode" this does not happen
I've had this happen on 3 different HTC phones:
Touch Diamond
Xperia X1
and now HD2
It must be some kind of issue between WM and HTC hardware... because I can't imagine all the different ROMs I've flashed on all three devices had this bug...
I just turn off vibration for txt and email. Wish this could be fixed.
i had this problem today. my text came in at 12am and i only manage to get awake by the vibrate noise at 4am to stop it! my text tone is 6sec . 4 hour of vibrating. luckily the vibrate still working. Gosh
Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW AND COINCIDENTLY,I JUST RECIEVED AN EMAIL & MY PHONE JUST DID THIS NON-STOP VIBRATION PROBLEM!!!!! WHAT WAS THE CHANCES OF THAT!?
Seriously, this is the first time it has done that not sure why. I just flashed this rom(Dutty's) about 3-4 days ago. Let us know if anyone finds a solution and why it does it.

WOW, is it time-based ? I read this last night and the stuck vibration happened to my unit this morning on an email notification! (TMOUS stock)
I haven't really had a stuck problem with my Tmo US version with stock e-mail ringtone. One of my gripes with this phone though is how weak the vibrator is. When I have it in my pocket, I can barely feel a thing unless I am sitting down? Maybe my pants are too loose/baggy? I wouldn't want to have to wear skinny jeans just for the phone though.
I used to have the Tmo MyTouch3g and the vibrator on that phone was perfect. It had pulse vibrate AND it was strong enough for me to feel in my pocket.
using sat nav last week got to my destination recieved an e-mail and then heard a strange noise thought it was my car turned off engine still had noise, touched the roof and it was vibrating, it was the phone had to reset to stop it, it has strongest vibration of any phone i've oned.

+1 with this bug
A very strange and random thing has started to happen to my Nexus S - I like to keep my phone on vibrate / no ring but about a week ago, everytime I make a call and hang up or a call comes in and ends, the profile will automatically switch from vibrate to ring.
This has been very annoying as it has caused my phone to ring at a meeting for example and at night when I'm sleeping. Has anyone had this problem? I haven't loaded any new programs that might affect ringtone...the only thing I have that controls ringtone in any form would be widgetlocker and TouchPal dialer - I've tried default dialer and it does the same thing as well.
Might be something obvious so if anyone knows, please inform me. Much appreciated!
im experincing the same thing on HTC Desire CDMA as well......it annoying as hell....i work for a funeral home and cant really have my phone to ring
The culprit is...
Touchpal. I have it as well, and I have this same problem. Checking reviews since the last update, which just so happened to be when this problem started, a lot of people are mentioning it.
i have the same issue, any solution??
