I believe I had this issue 2 times.... But not often tho.
this happened to me once when pulling out the phone out of my pocket to answer a call. I thought it was a one time glitch...

Hi,
Just got my Desire HD today and it's all good except I've noticed a rattle when the vibrator kicks in, ie when you're entering text for a message etc that is a very different sound to the actual vibrator itself. Has anyone else noticed it?

Screen issues (Flickered then went black)

Woke up today to my alarm. Was going though emails when the screen started flickering. I rebooted the device and after a few more flickers it went black.
A little background - Phone is running Galaxy S 3 software. Didnt drop it recently or do anything out of the ordinary.
I can unlock it and it kicks back with vibration. I know it unlocks as then i can hear the volume key chimes when pressing vol up and down.
Could this be a power cable to the screen came loose? or am i screwed and have to get a new phone??
Any help would be very appreciated.
You could always try getting to the camera app, either through the lockscreen or the camera button. It should light up your screen then you could go change the brightness in the settings.

Yeah i tried that. The screen itself is just not turning on. Time to get a new phone i guess. I have ready horror stories about trying to replace them. I just wish Tmobile had a HTC device that i liked.
So after the last two weeks of using a blackberry,:crying:, i finally ordered a GS3. When i got it yesterday i decided to pull the SD out of the mytouch. Then the phone booted up with the screen working again!!! I have been playing with it all day and there are no more flickering or dead screen issues. Looks like i have a back up now. I still dont understand what was wrong or why it just decided to work after two weeks of being shut off.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Vibration

Hi guys,
i bought my s4 the day one and it works great for now :laugh: but i have a question on the device's vibration. It looks like stronger than s3, so strong that during vibration seems that plastic parts vibrate Is it normal? It looks like an electric razor xD :good:
Also found the Vibra is stronger on the S3
Might have a look to see if the flex/motors are the same and try a swap but not yet
yeh I found when i first got it the startup vibrate (can that be turned off by the way?) was really strong and sounded/felt unpleasant.
Have turned down the haptics and vibrate in settings and now its ok. Except that startup vibrate is still intense.
there is vibration settings, you can choose rhythm (not sure if it's the correct word) and the strength of vibration. just try that

Hi
It seems to be normal! Unfortunately. Some plastic parts vibrate even if you lay the phone on the table... Just knock on the chassis with your finger an the phone vibrates....

I agree with you, on my device happens the same thing, the color of mine is White Frost.
But a friend of mine has bought the phone (color Black Myst) some days ago, his device's vibration isn't strong and knocking on the chassis with a finger doesn't make the phone vibrate.... Should us be worried for ours?
Thank you for your replies.

I know this topic is oldish but I also have one question.
Does your gs4 vibration make a kind of broken sounding noise? I don't know how to describe the noise but it's like if some part inside is loose.
When I hold the device firmly it vibrates normally. I removed the cover and pinpointed the noise source, seems to be the camera or the sim/SD slot.
It's rally bad when you start the device and it vibrates once, or when you spam press the bell or heart beat vibration preview in settings.
It's also just the first few milliseconds of the vibrate when it's really bad I think.
Do you guys have the same thing?
I got the same problem... Thought it was just me...

Is there any solution for the crackling sound coming from the phone when it vibrates??

[Q] Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 No Display Image but touch works

Hey Guys thanks in advance for your help. I'm really having a weird issue with one of my galaxy S4.
Here's the thing. I can hear the phone boots up properly making sound and also vibrates and the touch pad lights up. However, I don't see any image display, when I touch the screen and do a swipe I can hear the swiping sound. I tested the LCD screen with another galaxy S4 and it's confirmed working. Anyone of you guys experienced this? I just don't know what else to try. I tried to to a hard reset but still no image shows up. I'm leaning towards the motherboard but I don't know where to check. I checked the solder on the port connector and it looks fine. Any help is great appreciated

All the rest is working fine.
My SW release
4.4.2
G900FXXU1ANCE
3.4.0- 1182732
Please, does any one face this problem?
Thanks,
