The past few weeks I've been noticing that my DHD often vibrates at random times, when it should not do this at all.
It just vibrates (in stby mode), nothing else but I always think I'm getting a call or a text, which is pretty annoying.
Sometimes it vibrates just once, but also sometimes it vibrates 3 times, very fast and hard. Last night it even woke me up...
Anyone having the same issue?

Had this today when I bought it out of standby. Thought I had a text or email or something but there was nothing. Never noticed it happen when in standby though.
This happens regularly on mine too! its frustrating! you think you have a call or a message but you dont! :s
Its probably caused by your signal going from hspa (3.5g) to 3g to gprs

Isn't this called Blackberry syndrome? Imagining your phone vibrating, just so you can check it!
Seriously though, I dont have this on my DHD. It was present on my Hero though. I think its your phone getting lonely because your not using it.
If you press the volume rocker right in the middle it will vibrate 1 time and sometimes it will do 2 quick vibrates following the first one. This is probably not related to your case but it fits under the random vibration for other that might not know about it.
I noted you get a vibration when you signal goes out, and when it comes back again.
it does happen on mine too...
but i think i know the cause... its usually after using the volume buttons when it does it
but after installing CM, it doesnt do it anymore... i think its something to do with stock ROMS (mainly sense)
+1 more for that, i thought i was going mad when i first noticed it, but after reading this im feeling a bit more sane,
stock rom btw
Mine does it too. I'm using Custom Modaco Rom. When I go to unlock the phone it vibrated but not all the time. Never in my pocket though. I thought it was 3g watchdog playing up but other people getting it too so not that. It did it just now reading these posts hope it doesn't get worse.

Mine does it too. Got used to it now though.
Mine does this, but I know when it does it and why.
Usually it's either when unlocking the phone, or pressing the power button to lock it.
The reason why? It's because I have fat hands and accidentally press the volume down button when using the phone, causing it to go into vibration mode (which makes the phone vibrate once to let you know).
It's confusing, but entirely my own fault.
That's kinda diffirent from what I'm having. Mine does this without going into vibration mode or anything elsr for that matter. It just vibrates, even when locked and when the screen's off...
Just noticed that it does indeed have something to do with the volume buttons. Just lock your phone, press down both of the volume buttons, unlock it and then you will feel the 3 vibrations
I've noticed mine vibrates when launcher pro crashes, happens while i'm listening to music and try changing the volume sometimes, every time it happens the next time i unlock the phone launcher pro has to restart.
Although I have noticed it some times vibrates when I try to lock or unlock the phone and accidentally hit the volume buttons, not sure what happens there though.
EDIT: Just been trying to lock and hold one of the volume buttons, I've noticed it locks up for a second or two, so it's most likely something crashing I think.
Really sorry to bump a thead from a few weeks ago - but has anybody had any luck with resolving this?
This is the only thread I could find on the matter, and it's becoming a big annoyance for me. It's NOT when I go into vibration mode or anything, it can be anytime - even when the screen is off.

I just tried this and you're right - the three vibrations. Perhaps it's by design but I can't see why.
Anyway it's nice to know how to do it on purpose; mind you I used to get it all the time with my old cheap case, with my new case it's never done it "by itself". It seemed a bit odd but I assumed the case was "pressing" both volume buttons when on standby from time to time (makes sense).
I've noticed when i'm putting the phone in my pocket (or out), i tend to grab it on the top with the volume buttons. And yes, it does vibrate when i accidentally press them.
Try it yourself.
Regards, clumsy long fingered dude.
Mine used to do this as well. It would be sitting on the desk not touching anything, screen off and it's just idling doing nothing on stock sense rom, then it would just vibrate randomly a few times. It was a bit spooky and it kept doing it randomly :/
It has since stopped doing that, no real reason I can see why, I have flashed LeeDroid but it stopped randomly vibrating before that.
I'm on AR HD and it's still doing it.
I'm not too bothered, but a fix would be nice.
If I keep randomly pressing buttons on the phone, it will make random vibrations. Sometimes one, two or three. I don't have to press the power button, the phone screen can be turned off, and the phone doesn't go into silent/vibration mode either.
I just played about with the volume buttons now and I got a bit of lag on my phone, lasted for about 15 seconds then went away...
Hi Guys,
Are any of you noticing a long delay after you press the power button? I feel like it can be a few seconds from when I press it to when the screen actually turns on. Not only is this incredibly annoying, but it also seems to be affecting phone calls. I am not able to answer/decline before my phone stops ringing in some situations.
Any way around this?
Thanks
u have setcpu ?
edit:
fyi i have setcpu with screenoff profile, but no delay
Or are you using Widget locker or widgetoid?
I just uninstalled widgetlocker... It was installed but not in use. I will see if this helps.
I am seeing the same issue. I am currently on gingerblur beta 5, and am still seeing the delay just like I was on stock. Very annoying.

Yea, still a bit of a delay. My captivate was instant on (as any phone should be)...
no delay here

I am seeing this occasionally and I am using WidgetLocker. Is there a setting I am using worng or is it just an known issue with WL on this phone?
I think WL is the culprit. My screen is MUCH quicker since uninstalling it.
I think he's talking about a delay from the time you push the power button to the time the screen turns on.
I had that happening to me for a couple days and it was really annoying. I did a power-off, then power back on and it seems to be back to normal for the past day. I never used WidgetLocker, so it couldn't be because of that.

I'm using WidgetLocker and fairly heavily modified...and it doesn't have a delay like this.
Never had it... then a couple days ago it started, then I just pulled the battery and its fine again
I noticed no delay initially, but after I installed widgetlocker I noticed a slight delay. I'm using the volume rocker to wake the screen typically.
no WL here, running launcher pro. I do notice an annoying delay. Not terrible, but still annoying
Yeah, sometimes getting a bit of a delay. Sometimes it takes as much as a minute for the screen to turn on (not reacting to button press). But generally, the phone catches itself after that, and everything is ok for a couple of days.
Every now and then, it would restart when this issue appears. Maybe once per week or so. No biggie for me.
Hey guys,
i have a serious problem, which happens really often lately. like 10 times a day. The screen just turns off sometimes. The touch-functionality is still working. I can feel the fingersensor "unlock" the Zuk Z1, but the screen just stays off. Then i try to press all the buttons and sometimes the screen turns on again. But sometimes it just turns on after some seconds even though I didn't touch it at all.
First I thought that this is a hardware issue, maybe a loose contact. But recently a new problem showed up. The screen brightness just goes up to 100%. I turned off auto-brightness and move the slider. Nothing happens. Restarting always fixes it. But mostly after 1-60 seconds it goes back to normal.
Any ideas what might be the problem? Or what I could try?
I haven't rooted the phone and its the newest CyOS version.
Cheers, Oliver
Perhaps you are using the flipcover with magnetic auto switch off when you close the case?

Thanks for the reply,
I havent thought of that before but it is not the cause of the problem.
1. I have a leather case
2. When I take the phone out of the case the displays stays dark
I just did a factory reset today in the morning and the problem already showed up again. So! annoying!!!! Will send back the device I guess
i have lenovo zuk z1 . actually i am getting a problem in this phone . after locking the phone at every seconds light turn on and get turn off on the display. i saw so much on the setting but i didnt get any setting .
The same problem is being arrising with me..please someone help. what should i do..
Hi,
i have tome hassle with the hard press home thing.
Sometimes its working ok sometimes it does weird things.
for instance ... if i press the button hard it some times vibrates , when i let go it vibrates again and its unlocked... thats when i think its working correctly.
but sometimes it just vibrates two times although i didnt let go ...
sometimes on homescreen i swipe the homebutton slightly to clean it a bit... not hard pressing and its vibrating. sometimes one single time sometimes two times in a row .
anyone with the same issue ?
thanks
no one ?
Check what sensitivity you have the button set at. It could be too high or low.
I have mine set in the middle and never have an issue.
i tried severeal sensitivity settings ... sometimes it gets better and sometimes worse... but for me its not satisfying
i think i have to weit for an update or so ...
I had the exact same issue with my S8. Sometimes it just works, sometimes it doesn't detect it, sometimes it registers several hard presses even though I've barely touched it (sensitivity reduced as far as it goes).
This has been driving me crazy for the past week. The hard press function was unusable because of this.
At first I thought it's a software issue (something to do with calibration maybe?). I got an update which didn't fix it. I tried resetting it which didn't work either so I sent it back to Samsung yesterday. Waiting to see what they have to say about it.
The lack of complaints about this so far made me think it's just a weird issue with my unit.
I'm having exactly the same problem and it's driving me nuts for not knowing if it's a hardware or a software problem.
I've googled around and this is the only thread so far. Seems like there are very few people with this issue.
Let me know how the repair request went.
i sent it back also
new one is coming tomorrow ... lets see... will report
I have that issue too. Dont know what to do.

Oh wow, that's really fast. I still haven't heard anything from them. Did they give any information about what's wrong (hardware/software)?
no ... i didnt sent it back to samsung.
i bought it from amazon.de and ordered a replacement.
thats faster
it will arrive today then i can sent back my first one...
same here, having issues with the home press function .
I also send it back to the shop where I bought it
I´ve send mine back to the webshop also. My mate got his s8 2 days ago and his hard press was perfect and responded smoothly all the time. So i guess it must be a hardware problem.
Will share more info when i get feedback from the repair.
Same problem here, sometimes it works, sometimes (when the device is in standby) it works only after several tries and pressure in different spots.
Can someone who has got a new device or sent it to repair report if it is better now?
Hardware issue... my replacment Works fine now
Same problem
I have this issue also. Mostly it works, but sometimes it doesn't work and the phone hesitates to come back to life. If I press the power button after hard pressing the home button or just wait 5-10 seconds, the screen will come on. Oddly, when it doesn't work (and occasionally when it does), the small vibration thing happens. I have this turned off, but sometimes when hard pressing the home button, I get the vibration, but the screen won't come on. Other times, I get the vibration and the screen will come on. Mostly I don't get the vibration and the screen comes on. Annoying.

As i said ... it seems to be a Hardware issue. Get a replacement
Mine does this often, i personally could care less for the home button function so I set the sensitivity to max and yet at times if I barely touch the home button area it acts like I have hard pressed the button.

I have the same problem maybe even worse. To me it looks like it is accumulating presses, the more times I press the button the more times it vibrates. So at the end I sometimes get 4 or more vibrations for just one press. Sometimes after I lock the screen it vibrates by itself and turns on the screen.
Looks like I'll get mine replaced ASAP.
Got the same issue once in a while.. also have a faint red glow on the screen. Considering getting it replaced but dont want to wait for a replacement.
I have a problem with my S8. After locking my phone it randomly vibrates and turns screen back on asking to unlock (enter passcode or scan fingerprint). Sometimes this happens right after locking and other times after 5 seconds when my phone is already placed on the table. When I unlock the phone there is no notification. I can't seem to find out whats causing this. This is not always (but most of the time) happening though, its really random.
Checked internet. Checked Reddit. No apps enabled in accessibility. Smart Alert disabled.
Its driving me nuts, please help out.
EDIT: When removing passcode the phone unlocks itself to the lockscreen. Just happened after 15 seconds when laying flat on the table. Should I leave my house??? haha
EDIT2: Seems like the homebutton is registering presses. When 'Unlock with homebutton' is on it go's straight to the homescreen when above happens and when its off it turns on and just shows lockscreen. Really strange..
Seems you got faulty unit, ask to return.

Don't think so because it only happens when the phone is locked. When the phone is unlocked it behaves normal..
Thanks for the suggestion though

Actually, this is a HUGE issue IMO and abnormal behavior of the phone, which is subjet to return.
You should be straightforward in your decision or get used to the issue.

I'm tryning to say that I don't think this is a hardware issue because than it would be all the time, must be software related but can't seem to find out whats causing this.

F*CK, I think I found it. I disabled AOD, with it enabled I don't seem to have this issue.. :/
S8 Unlock problem
Im having the same problem. I unlock using the pressure sensitive home button. After locking and unlocking 3 to 4 times the home button does not respond "only on the aod screen". Then suddenly it unlocks and when I lock the screen again the phone vibrates and unlocks the screen itself
Plz help me out
I'm having the same problem. Sensitivity changes randomly. Sometimes it doesn't seem to recognize presses and sometimes it recognizes them even when I'm not touching that area. All this happens when screen is locked. AOD disabled. Sensitivity to 2 (close to very sensitive)
I have the same issue .. AOD and the rest are off! Case was taken off also. What's going on !? I don't now what to do with this... ? Mayby the best option is to change it for iphone? ;((((
Having exactly the same, however samsung technician was unable to replicate it for a whole day and they sent it back to me without any repair... Swap is also not an option as samsung will test phone on their side anyway and in case it's "good" they will send back same unit.
Issue is really random and sometimes it doesn't occure for over an hour. Then it starts vibrating and waking up after touching screen in top or middle area couple of times (screen off, AOD off, no case, no screen protector), multiple vibrations after pressing "home" button or delayed vibration.
Other reports are on reddit (pm me for link) or different xda thread forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/hard-press-home-issue-t3597004/page4
Anyone able to record his issue to compare with others?
Same problem here....the hard press home button don't work sometimes and vibrate 3 or 4 time after press the button. I think is hardware problem, i have reflash the firmware with odin but no lock.

Did you send the phone to Samsung assistance? And does the same problem? [emoji21]

I went to Samsung Premium Service and left my S8 (Exynos one) for 2 working days.
Sometimes when I press home button it vibrates once or with significant delay and then when you touch screen anywhere else (top, middle, edges) it vibrates again and wakes screen up. It looks like it cannot register/release pressure sensor correctly. Since they were not able to replicate this error they decided not to touch hardware at all, therefore just reflashed it and calibrated.
I'm getting this 2 or 3 times this every 15min, but it's hard to record, because when I start recording it's already working properly... Have you managed to record your issue to compare with other users having similar symptoms?
The same problem with my phone....unfortunately i don't have any record of issue. I think is a touchscreen problem

My pressure sensitive home button has a mind of its own like it works or sometimes doesn't register as a press then sometimes when I try press harder or softer it goes mad and registers lots of presses. Sometimes it just works properly though. Should I return it quick or is it just normal if the screen has to be cleaned or something?
I have same problem, i owe factory unlocked s8 created for caucasus region. my home button makes me crazy, even now when i was writing this, just picked my s8, i pressed hard on home button, on the screen off (I've enabled always on display) and no kind of vibration, than touched back button and it vibrated. So sometimes it vibrates 3-4 times when i hard press only one time, sometimes it's giving me very late vibration, sometimes i also think that i get notification and nothing is there. yesterday it gave me two vibration, during facebook scroll. i'm a big fan of samsung but, this s8 has too many hidden problems, bugs and luggs.
isn't it possible guys that in the next software update it will be solved?
Same problem here. I think there is another thread with this issue btw?
It could very well be a widespread issue but a lot of people might not even be aware of it because not everybody's using hard press preferring other ways to unlock/wake the phone.

Me too ,its happend just wgen the phone is locked, when i hard press home button sometimes it gave me little vibration and when relased the correct vibration or other times it gave me 4 vibration.
It could be software broblem because when the phone is unlocked doesent happend and
too many people here have this problem
U won't find out when it will miss vibration or any other bug or lugg. I'm testing and testing, even i pushing home button half an hour without resting and there were no kind of bug. I think that, than when there is no too much free ram and also when phone is hot, also U have many apps minimized and u lock the screen. And at once u push hard on home button. It will fail vibration and if you observe during screen unlock, animation will stuck. It's opening bit-by-bit. Looks like very low FPS. So this 3d touch failure makes phone work luggy.
P.S. sometimes phone is cold, with much free ram and same happens((.
Also when phone is locked for long time. When you press hard on home button on screen off (with always on display) it will miss the first pushing.
Sometimes if it fails vibration, it continues doing this for minutes, even phone restart will not solve the problem.
There is something wrong. This phone has ram managment problem, there is something strange. This device is a real rocket but it isn't well optimized.
I hope Samsung will fix this bugs in the next software update, otherwise i think i will go to iOS. Just i need smooth animations, smooth app open/close, without stucking. Without luggy, without bugs.
Whith this problems this really fantastic devise is nothing.
P.S. i'm a big fan of samsung. Have had many iphone, and thinking to return there.
Sorry for my english.
