My Vario 2 doesn't vibrate anymore

Since a couple of days, my MDA Vario 2 stopped vibrating when I get a phone call or a new message. I tried the volume settings (vibrate) and the phone settings (call & vibrate), but none of that helps. I also tried enabling / disabling event sounds (as can be read in another thread) but that also doesn't help.
I'm using ROM 1.21.114.3 (Dutch T-Mobile 20 june 2006).
Who can help me???
Btw, I tried updating the ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but the upgrade failed. (luckily my phone still works ;-) )

I had this same problem and also my vario2 included parts of emails when sending text messages, contacted t-mobile uk they was aware of these problems and done a software update, since ive had it back theres been no problems.

I remember that this can be caused by a certain software used to disable led blinking - did you install anything like that? Don't remember the name right now, but if you used it you will know, I suppose.
The leds and vibrate function use same library, so disabling first will disable the other, too.

I've not installed a program that modifies the led. I used PocketZen, but vibrating worked fine. I tried uninstalling it, but vibrate still doesn't work. I'm now using a T-Mobile ROM. I'm considering updating to another ROM to see if the problem disappears.

Ringer/Speaker Not Working
Sorry I can't help, but I'd to throw in a problem that I'm having.
My ringer/speaker no longer works. I've tried all of the volume/ringer setttings to no avail. Possibly a hardware issue?

I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but this didn't solve my problem. :-(
Anybody any ideas on how to solve this?

Im having the exact same problem too, sometimes the vibrate works, sometimes it doesnt (more often than not), its totally random!!
At first I thought it might be someting to do with the strong magnets in the leather case affecting it somehow?? But now im not so sure:S
It only started a week or so ago but its soooo annoying and I dont really want to go throught the hastle of a hard reset or anything in a "just to see if it fixes it" thing.
If anyone has a solution (preferably not sending it off) I'd love to hear it!!

You could try installing PhoneAlarm, this application does a lot more, but one of it's functions is to set alarm/vibrate etc, it also has profiles and you can control wifi/bluetooth etc etc from it. Downside is that it's a Today plug in.
But, it does have a trial, and might be useful to see if it will correct your ring/vibrate probs.

Hello, everyone.
I am a newbie to Dopod838Pro. I have learnt a lot from this forum.
My phone has stopped vibrating, too. I have tried installing phonealarm and even hard-reset.
It still does not vibrate.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem?
(I guess the problem started when I was "too quick" to dismiss a notification. I dismissed it before the phone had vibrated.)

Possible solution for some see here:

[Q] MMS problem on tmobile?

Anyone have problems receiving pictures? I'm having a weird problem. I'm using stock messaging app.. Looks like I can send pictures, but have trouble receiving them. In fact, a few times I didn't receive an MMS until I actually sent an MMS back. So I would send a picture and then immediately receive one once I sent mine. Except the one I just received was sent a day earlier. Another time I didn't get one until a few days later. I replied and my friend didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Only started having this problem on my nexus 4. Everything seemed fine when I was on my old gnex a couple weeks ago. So is it a phone, tmobile or software problem? Anyone have similar issues?

search around here for the proper apn settings. that will fix you up.

Well wouldn't it already be proper apn settings when I inserted my SIM card?

I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried contacting T-Mobile support about they just "reset" my device on the network. It seems to work better now, but I can usually see when someone tries to send me a message. If it doesn't receive, I just send myself a picture and I'll get whatever was sent to me. However I attributed this mostly to being on 2G at home.
How good of signal are you getting and is it 2/3/4G?

nope. i am on att and just fixed a couple people in a dif thread an hour ago. this is your issue. i just dont have the t-mobile apn settings to help you further.

Do as follows and it might help you:
1. Go Settings - Apps - All.
2. Find SMS app.
3. Force close SMS app.
4. Clear data on SMS app.
5. Go APN settings.
6. Do Settings RESET of APN.
7. Reboot.
It worked for me - though I am in a different operator.
What is also important - MMS comes when you are not on WiFi. Only on Data.
Good luck!

Try these settings for your APN.

The important changes are the APN type and APN protocol. Reboot and try.

What exactly are those changes going to do?

To be honest I really do not know. Once I changed to those settings I no longer had issues with MMS and had better speed. They also seemed to help a lot of other people. YMMV

AT&T MMS woes

Ok, so this is really annoying and any help would be appreciated. I am spending the summer in a place where there is no 3G (i know right...) and only edge. Problem is that whenever i try and send a picture it will just sit on sending and nothing will ever happen (besides my battery dying...). I can't seem to get pictures either. The weird thing is that i traveled to somewhere with 3G today (Nashville, TN) and the pictures still didn't send. Now i know Edge is super slow, so i tried sending a small picture, 290 x 343 @ 40KB and that wouldn't send either, so file size is not the problem. Also i have tried both of these APNs, XDA and Reddit with no luck. Please don't be useless and recommend checking my APN settings because i have already done that multiple times unless you have a different one that works. I am on a postpaid ATT iPhone 5 (LTE) plan. Thank you for any useful replies. Possibly throw some BTC to whoever helps me resolve this.
Edit: Also I would like to make clear that data works while on edge, just not MMS.

First, you are on the wrong plan. You should be on the non iPhone, non LTE smartphone plan. I'm not sure if that is making a difference, but second, did you try the apns I posted in that xda thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40899440

A) There is nothing wrong with being on an LTE plan, that's how so many people got their LTE to work. Secondly the iPhone portion should be find since the data works, it's the MMS that doesn't and MMS is a standard. I will try those APN settings and report back shortly.
EDIT: Tried your APN settings, same thing, stuck on sending since i replied to your post.

I pretty much figured that because the plans should be backward compatible. It may not make difference which plan you have, but AT&T sure makes a big deal about it. If those apns didn't work for you, then it is unlikely you have an apn issue. MMS is not hard to get working. You can use the two apn setup I provided or one of the single apns and as long as you have MMS in the apn type, it should work. Just make sure you are entering EXACTLY as it should be, or it will not work. Idk if AT&T will assist you since you have an unsupported device, but if you call them, the first thing they are gonna do is switch your plan. Are you rooted or not? Have you tried a factory reset.

Yes and yes, the problem arose when i arrived in this place with Edge only, previously my phone had never seen Edge. Nothing will send on edge, and when i traveled to Nashville yesterday the items still didn't send nor did any new ones even though i was connected to 3G. I doubt it is an APN problem since it was working (somewhat) fine in SLC.

Ok so something weird, it seems the problem is with my texting app. Lightflow will flash the LED signalling I received an MMS, and i will get a notification in the web portal for mighty text saying the same thing, but from my phone nothing is shown. Any ideas? Currently reflashing the latest version of PA Gapps.

Just curious, did you "delete / cancel" the stuck MMS messages, before trying to send new ones?
I have seen issues with this in the past.

Yes, i deleted the previous messages before attempting to send again.

So i reflashed gapps and all the messages people tried to send me showed up with a button to download the content, but every time I click on it it fails. Pictures still won't send as well. Also there is a new icon to the right of "sending".

Just reflashed stock and pictures seem to be sending fine, not sure though yet, and haven't been able to get anyone to send me one yet, this is with the stock APN settings. Gonna change to the ones listed here (the ones i was using) and we will see how that goes. And yes this thread will be bumped all to hell until this is resolved.

Flashed stock, and changed APN settings to the ones i was previously using, and MMS is fully functional now. Though this we have concluded that the problem MIGHT lie with PA. Going to attempt a completely clean flash of PA and i will report the results.

1970 issue

after install twrp 2.7.1 i have with the date and time 1970 issue

@trifos go to the twrp settings menu and set your date.

When I clean. installation. again I have date and time 1970 ,its rtc wrong

So after you are installing a rom you have a time like that? Just do the time properly in the rom and try it again. Also do like i said in the twrp settings the time good. If these things dont work it could be like a bug. I only got those weird times on my old android phones with removable battery when i reinsert it.
Sorry if I didnt gave you the right answer yet but I don't completely understand it :/

Maybe the rom also did that? Probably not but thats the created date by something you did before probably those folders also remain like that. If your phone was once set to this time and then thefolder is created then thats the date, I cant give you an full answer why this would happen

Bump @trifos this is also for you maybe if you still have the problem.
It seems that there was also an app/fix for it so I want to share it with you and maybe other people who also have this problem.
See this old thread which got barried in the ruins of the xda pages

Hope this could also solve this issue for other users too.

Did it happend when you created a new folder? If so then look into settings and adjust the time. When everything is wiped and it doesn't have the time written anymore and it doesn't know where you are also if you didn't even connected to internet then you get that. See this also about why 1970 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time you could describe this as a bug kind of. Just like in a computer if you pull out the small round battery on the motherboard and no power supply then it will also not remember the time and it just resets to the begin time.
Let's describe this easily, its just a bug just like Ios8 have bugs with receiving sometimes random text messages from 1970 which you can't open. So just change the time in settings and you will be fine :good:

Space Between Phone Number

When I receive a call, the phone number in Call History is in format +1 514-XXX-XXXX(Space between 1 and 514) so when I call back the carrier block the call. I have to the write down the number and manually type the number by taking out space and dash to make a call go through. It's so annoying to do this every time. Even if I save the number by taking out space, it still there. Any solution to fix this? Can I replace default Dialer and Contacts App.

That’s Normal and how it’s supposed to show up, on income calls for both T-Mobile and AT&T anyway for me. And never have any issue calling it back. Spaces shouldn’t have anything to do with calling it back. Now sometimes having that 1 there might throw off the Carrier. But the spaces won’t do anything.

It’s like this on both iPhone and Android.

If iPhone you there’s no 3rd party Dailer

I don’t see any issue with having spaces as spaces wouldn’t have an effect on it. What message are you getting?
The spaces are Normal

It says "This call is blocked". When I input the number manually without space, it works. I insert the sim card into another phone which format has no space (+1514XXXXXXX) and it works, which mean the space is the problem. Do you know how to replace default dailer? Just to try and see if it works with new dialer.

You can try looking In the play store. Make sure you don’t have any international dialer helpers enabled.
