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...!!!
my leo is having unusual vibration and never stop when receive a text message. The last time i encounter this was 2 weeks ago. today i receive a text at 7am and woke up at 10am. its vibrating all along. any idea how to fix it ? thanks
I also have this problem, it's very irritating. I just set it not to vibrate when receiving text messages.

The same thing has happened to me with email notification. On just a few occasions the vibrating has not stopped until I pressed the end call button to make it stop. I think this has happened three times in what is now almost three weeks.
patheltic bug. feeling like my leo is going to spoile anytime.
Mine also does this and so does my mates. I've not tried a cooked ROM as yet because I've only owned the handset for a week and in case I brick it I at least want to have owned it for a month haha
Any further news on this bug? The only way I can find to stop it from vibrating is to press volumn down until the phone switches to vibrate mode then turn the sound back on. Bit of a pain!
im having this problem too...its suddenly vibrate for so long until i remove the battery.. happening several times.

I got my Focus Friday and have been using it a lot since. This morning, it seems like the capacitive button feedback is much weaker; it's barely noticable when I press the button.
Notification vibrate seems fine as far as I can tell, and I don't care much about the buttons. I'm just curious about
A) Has anyone else experienced this, and
B) Could this lead to other vibration problems?
Thanks.
I seem to have the same problem. In fact, all vibration has gotten weaker. I am guessing it has something to do with dust? perhaps dust is jamming the vibration motor.
Yes!
I have this problem as well and from what I can tell, it's definitely not dust-related. My guess is it's some kind of firmware issue. I've done a hard reset of the phone (AT&T's stupid suggestion) and that didn't help at all. They tried to tell me it was because "I have so many apps installed and they can affect the functionality of the phone"...BS.
If you go into the Diagnosis App, the button presses are MUCH stronger like they should be. Enter ##634# in dialer and then call. Then enter *#0842# to go to the Vibration Test. I did this a selected "Vibrator On" then exited. This fixed my problem for about a day, then it came back. I've talked to AT&T 3 times about this and finally got to an Escalation Officer. I have to go to the store now so they can "verify" and probably tell me it's fine. The people on the phone said it's still vibrating so "technically it works," which is ridiculous.
I would try this troubleshooting stuff first if I were you to see if it helps but it was a temporary fix for me. I miss a ton of messages and calls when my phone is on silent because of this. The phone isn't working properly so this is a warranty fixable problem in my opinion. Good luck.
This happened to my focus in winter night, when it became cold the vibration didn't work properly. But after some time (and several restart) it's worked as normal
I'm on my second S8 with the same issue, I replaced the first one due to a cracked screen. Samsung support can't help me, as all they did was remote into my phone and turn my ringer from sound to vibrate and reenabled all the bloat I disabled before I cut off the remote, then asked if I'd like to fill out a survey on their customer service... So anyways I haven't made a connection to a specific action causing it, it seems random, all vibration will just cuts out, but the phone behaves like everything is still working, nothing is greyed out I can turn the volume up and down, mess with vibration settings etc, it just doesn't vibrate. Sometimes it'll come back if I leave it alone for a few hours, but it'll always come back after a restart. Anybody having a similar issue?
p.s. also while I'm here anybody have issues with YouTube stuttering? Both my S8s do that too
Hey guys. So about a week ago, I received the latest update from att (ASGK) and it came with haptic feedback for navbar gestures. They also updated goodlocks task manager with gesture haptic feedback as well. However, it has not worked on my phone since the day I recieved the update. Now its not an issue that will bring about the end of the world, but if anyone has some ideas of a fix for this, I would greatly appreciate it.... Haptic feedback is a small... but comforting feature to have lol.
Maybe try going into settings, sounds and vibrations, system sounds and vibrations, make sure touch vibration at the bottom is toggled on. Then back out one screen to the vibration intensity and adjust the touch interaction to your liking.
