Hey all. long time lurker, first time poster.
I received my nexus one a few days ago, and it has been a blast. However, after charging it last night ( the first time I charged it via wall charger as opposed to USB) I awoke to find it incredibly hot. I let it cool down, but ever since, the vibration has not worked.
I briefly was able to get the vibration on by taking out the battery and leaving phone and battery by the cold window. It vibrated normally on startup, and briefly in the os before turning off. Since, I have had no luck.
Any suggestions? I could, of course, send it off to get repaired under warranty, but i'd rather see what I can do first. I am currently attempting to drain the battery completely and see what that might do. I'm shooting in the dark, I know, but I'd rather try to figure it out as much as I can.
Thanks!
try a factory reset (Settings>about phone), if that doesnt work its hardware problem so send it in.
Weird, i havent had any problems with mine getting hot. Vibration doesnt work on anything? Keyboard, calls, etc. and youre sure you went into settings and enabled it on those?
settings/sound and display.
Enable haptic feedback.
if the phone is in silent mode this option will be grayed out.
I hope it is as simple as that and that it is not damaged from charging.
I'm having vibration problems too, but I don't think it's due to charging, but to me it seems like the vibration is going out. I was using the haptic feedback for the vk, and now it doesn't work half the time, and when it does, it is not very noticeable.
but the bigger vibrations still work, so I'm clueless on it

I know in better keyboard you can change how long the vibration lasts for, Im using smart keyboard right now and I can definitely feel the press of the keys.

This problem happened on a swap I tried (my screen has dust under it) and I called HTC and said I was sending the swap back because of this and they said it was fine. Give HTC a call, I think its a hardware problem
Thats how mine was, it was charging and got really hot, now when i get text messages it doesnt vibarate but if i get a phone call it does.
a couple of times, when i charged overnight, the phone gets hot. i think if it has a "running" app, it does this.

It's completely normal for the phone to get "hot" when charging or running apps with heavy power utilization... basically anything demands a decent amount of power.
However, it shouldn't get so hot that it's uncomfortable to hold or that parts start failing... that would indicate a defect with the phone and would necessitate an exchange through HTC.

Yes, in fact all notification vibrations fail now (GTalk / GMail Vibration notifications fail). This happened to me just today. Sigh.
Update: Notice I said all notification vibrations. It's specifically notification vibrations. All other types of vibrations such as haptic feedback and phone calls work fine. Only vibrations that pertain to the notifications / notification bar do not happen anymore. I don't think this is a hardware issue. This happened just recently. Could it be due to the new (OTA) update? Something broken?
i can't get mine to vibrate when a text comes in, no matter what settings i use. it will vibrate when a call comes in. i text a lot, so that would be really handy to have it work (like it should) when i'm out and it's too busy/loud to hear the phone but, not sure if i want to send it back because of this...
That's crazy I've never had a phone that vibrates stronger.
I've updated my post above. It's not about the vibration of the phone but just on the notification vibrations. Somehow it just stopped all of a sudden.
Looks like this person might've had the same problem:

Shall try a hard reset and see how that goes then. Rather reluctant to try it but here goes..
Update: Nope. Still no vibration for notifications after doing Hard Reset (using "Clear Storage"). I have even tested this using the API Demos app from the Market. Under App -> Notification -> Status Bar -> Vibrate button there is no vibration to be felt.

use the search function, lol. if you are having problems with notification vibration, download the 'sound manager' app from the market. start it up. press menu > vibrate settings. set it up how you want. fixes the issue.
I searched, but I kept searching for the "vibration" keyword. That thread only shows when you search "vibrate" .. or "notification vibrate". My phone is with HTC now. I don't understand why a Hard Reset doesn't resolve the issue...
fixed

I can confim this trick works... DL sound manager from the market then activate " vibrate whenever possible" in vibration menu...
it fixed the problem i had : no vibrations only on notifications ..
never had such a fast phone, thanks to google,timothydonohue, cyanogen and all modders...!!!
Anyone out there having as issue where the sound from the keyboard clicks, unlock and lock sounds, and the dial pad phone calls went almost un-hearable??
I have no current mods to my phone just picked it up started typing and noticed i could no longer hear my keyboard clicks and went on to discover that many of system sounds were quieter.
The rings and other notifications work just fine though very odd this is not the first time this has happened to me with other android devices but typically either a battery pull or a quick reset resolves the issue but not this case.
Anyone with similar issues with a quick fix aside from restore??
I have noticed that when the battery get low sounds and vibration setting get shut off.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep.. You can edit all that in the Power Saver Options. It also will shut down WiFi. Very Annoying.
well i thought that also but my battery was fully charged.
I noticed when I clicked things the clicking sound was randomly extremely low. I went to the sound settings and just played with em for a min and it went back to normal :/
sadly i tried all that stuff and i am getting extremely frustrated
Funny thing.......my htc keyboard wont let me turn off the vibe feedback.

Mine turns off just fine but I've seen that issue on other phones, don't know how to fix it though.
Theres a power saving mode your phone gets into when it reaches 15% or lower. This setting quiets your phone, takes off vibrations, and more thing just to save batt. life, u can change this is settings

Do the cpacitive buttons on Desire Z vibrate? I dont know if I am going loco or something but I am sure they vibrate. The buttons on my one have stopped vibrating. I have searched the threads and cant find anyone else with this problem. Is it because they dont vibrate? I swear mine was vibrating until this afternoon
I have searched through the setting and all but cant find a fix.
android jeyboard, "vibrate on keypress"
Cheers mate.
I am talking about the Home, menu , return and search keys. The phone vibrates when I type on the onscreen keyboard.
can anyone please check their Desire Z/ G2 and check to see if the capacitive buttons vibrate when pressed... The capacitive buttons are Home, Menu, Back and Search.
I need to know this urgently so I can book for a replacement before the end of work today if this phone is faulty.
Thanks
Not sure if it's different on the Desire Z but did you make sure you had haptic feedback enabled in your Sound settings?

Thank you very much sir.
I didnt disbale that so I wonder how that got switched off.
It was actually under Sound - Feeedback - Vibrate feedback. I would never have known to look for it there. I was searching under Language and Keyboard.
Very much obliged
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to turn off the uptick feedback for the four action buttons below the screen (the menu, home, return and search buttons)?

Not possible that anyone's found yet. Obviously would be possible with some kind of hack, but nobody's messed with it that deeply.
That really stinks. For a while though i thought i was going crazy, searching the settings endlessly multiple times trying to find the option to turn off the haptic feedback, then i used Spare Parts and thought it would do the trick if i disabled haptic feedback from there, but it didn't work =/
Before the Atrix 4G, i had the HTC Inc, and there was an option in the settings to turn it off so i thought that the Atrix would also have the same option for it but i guess not =/
So out of no where my phones standby button stopped working for me and the only way to use my phone is to plug it into a charger or call It. I can't really but a new phone yet because all of my money lately have been going to bills. I was wondering Is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks for any replies
There is a setting can't remember where exactly to turn screen on with a swipe
