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...
Within the last few weeks, the notification volume on my Nexus S is turning itself down to half volume. To rule out accidental button pressing, I turn the volume to max, and put it on the table, untouched. Within an hour, the volume is at halfway. Not really sure what is going on, but it's extremely frustrating because I miss a bunch of text messages as a result of this problem. If anybody else is having this problem, and knows of a solution, please let me know.

I have the same issue..think it started when I installed the voodoo app. Helping for a fix also
But I think you posted in the wrong thread..
Hello all,
I've searched and can't seem to find anything on this.
My Nexus 4 seems to have some kind of glitch (or some kind of feature that I'm just not understanding). Normally I hold my volume button down to get to vibrate/silent. Now when I try to do that, it goes down to the first length but won't drop to vibrate. It simply won't let me. In addition, the phone's volume is really low, and google voice command doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong here? Or is there something wrong with my phone? Maybe some app is screwing with my volume?
hold power button to go silent/vibrate
Happened once on my roommate's. You have an app open that is also controlling the volume and won't let you turn it down. Force stop this app or reboot.

Ugh that's it. Problem went away as soon as I force-stopped the Netflix app. It's a wonderful concept but it's kind of a POS app.
I am not sure if I had to create a new thread for this but I seem to have a weird problem:
The volume rocker on my phone isn't as sensitive as it used to be - specifically the volume down.
It still works but I have to press it pretty hard (as compared to volume up).
I got my Nexus sometime in January (the 2nd batch) and I've had no complaints since. I've dropped the phone once but that was from about 2-3 feet high (a good month ago).
My main concern is that eventhough it works now, what if it completely dies in a few months? And God forbid this happen to the screen on button!
What are my options here? How do I get it fixed? Can you guys point me to the right direction?
Thanks!
Depends how you bought it was it Google play was it from Tmobile are you stock non rooted ect until we know these answers we will not be able to help you

I bought it off Google play. Everything's stock.
Bump!
I've gone completely paranoid and I've stopped using the volume down completely. Now I use Volume up and then use the touch to reduce volume
another bump
one final bump
Hi all,
My power button is more or less broken and I am having a hard time, turning on the screen. Turning off is not a problem because I use a screen off and lock application. But turning on is a nightmare for me.
Can anyone suggest any alternative for me to solve the problem?
Maybe remapping my volume rockers to turn on the display?
I'm on stock android, 4.3 (I can root it if needed) but I would prefer to stick to Stock ROM rather than a custom rom (which offers volume rocker wake). I would really really appreciate your help. Thanks guys in advance.
Sorry I'm in a hurry here but there's a mod/app called TouchControl that might help you. If I remember well it allows you to turn the screen back on with gestures when it's off.
Later I can help to find it around if you or someone didn't until there. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that app before and it occasionally hanged my screen. I prefer to use my volume rockers or maybe something else. Anyway, your help is appreciated.

Try WidgetLocker from the play store. I believe it has that option. You don't need root too.
