Vibration on my MDA isn't workin :(

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.

Tmo Wing Ring question

Does anyone know how to get my Tmo Wing to stop vibrating when its on ring for incoming calls and messages?
It can be very annoying that when it's on my desk it vibrates louder then the ringtone.

Try raising the volume, if that dont work.
Try an other rom. There are some usefull How-To's here.
Oh BTW. Welcome to the forum!!!

Start>Settings>Phone (under the personal tab)
change the ring type

what i don't like is how i can hear the vibration better than i can feel it.

think about it as like a secondary ring mechanism.
i think the prevailing philosophy of many companies these days is "its not a flaw its a feature"

vibration decrease

Hi !
Is it possible to decrease the vibration when someone calls or new sms is received?
Because the original vibration is much too noisy for me! I'm student and when I'm in class and the phone vibrate, everybody's hearing it !!
It's louder than the ring set on 3...
Is there any possibility ?
Thanks

I'd also be interseted to hear about this. It's the loudest vibrating i've heard from a phone!

It's like an earthquake when the phone is on the glass table

+1 I too would be interested in this.
or maybe just a shorter vibrate would be better too. I have a low volume tone for SMS when at work, but have had to turn vibrate off altogether as this was louder that my message tone!
If it can’t be decreased, then a shorter vibrate time would be a start

me2 !! will save battery power lol

Look at this, it function on call and email, not on SMS (yet).

I'll have a look into it.

Any other idea ?

i have my hd2 set up seaprate for sistem volum (10%) and ringer volume (100%) ... works fine, but the SMS volume is low, as the sistem volume
is there a way to fix this? like ringer AND sms = ringer volume???
thanks

UP please !

UP ? please !

upping it every so often probably isn't going to solve your issue
I think vibration strength is set by the amount of power given to the vibrator, so you should virtually reduce the current going to the motor, but probably that's not something easy to do... also, I don't need the vibration pattern utility, but I think you could set it so it has very short burts of vibration, that way it wouldn't be as noisy

I believe there is an app for vibration pattern on freewarepocketpc.

Thanks very much for your answers.
Seems that there is no other possibility that vibration pattern.
Cheers

Switching vibration off without turning ring voulme off

Simple as that. Why i can't switch off vibration without switching ring volume?
How can i achieve that? Any app or hint to do this?
Why?
When i'm in office i don't want vibration to be on coz of annoying sound, but i want to hear when someone calls me.
Thanks.

Ring delay

Hey guys,
For some reason my hero is causing a lot of problems in terms of answering phone calls. If I stand 10 feet away from the phone, I have full connectivity and if I call my phone from another phone, I get the trackball lighting up on my hero when I've heard the 3rd ring on the phone I'm calling from. If I carry on listening, by about the 6th ring I get my first ring on my hero. This is a very big problem as people give me a call and I used to answer immediately and so no one waits more than 2-3 rings. Is there a fix for this?
Many Thanks

try menu > settings> sounds and display. Turn off the "quiet ring on pickup"

try Cronos rom,your hero will ring immediately as a call's coming

Hey guys,
Thanks so much for your help. I've tried it on chronos and disabled the option for a day and have been asking everyone of my caller about which ring it was (1st, 2nd or 3rd) and the good news is I get the trackball half way through 2nd ring and the ringtone on the 3rd which is a very significant improvement. If it is possible to improve it slightly more then it would be perfect. I dont need it straight on one maybe missing the first ring on the max.
Thanks again!
