Motorola Droid Razr M vibration not working - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A week and a half ago, my Motorola Droid RAZR M was working completely fine until one cousin of mine reset the phone trying to unlock pattern on my phone. Since then it does not vibrate on calls, alarms, or at touches. No vibration is felt on touching the navigation keys as well. I've tried other part of internet but found nothing but just simple ways for 'how to activate vibrate feedback' and haptic touch options. I've tried resetting my device couple of times but all for nothing. Kindly help me through this. Thanks

Sounds like a hardware problem, but you could try flashing factory firmware.

going crazy!!!

hey guys i did search and didn't find anything about this... my vibrate has stopped working!!! i installed the new s2u2 but i dont think that was the cause of it.... i can feel it vibrate when it switches from ring to vibrate but won't vibrate when a call comes... i uninstaller s2u2 and memmaid(my last 2 installed progs) but i am still having the same prob. tried soft resetting a few times.... please help!!!
Try doing a Hard reset. Also if you have dropped your phone it could just be a loose connection which is really easy to fix and if I recall. If this isnt your first HTC the vibrator should be the same as the wiza or apache or most of the more recently retired models.

Buttons not vibrating

I seem to have lost the vibration feature on my buttons. All tabs are checked. Not recovered even after a hard reset. Probably a pre-hard reset app I'd loaded affected this.
Does anyone know of a reg tweak or another fix?
Thanks for the help

Does your phone vibrates when called?
Hi - thanks for taking an interest. The problem seems to have corrected itself.
I had to re-load .net CF 3.5. Don't know if that had an effect but after the hard reset and a couple of soft resets the buttons vibrate again.
Thanks again

Sky740, did you experience this problem again? I have not installed any other ROMs but noticed it after I installed some other software, including hd tweak, advanced config, mobilmagic button stuff and .net framework 3.5. Did you use any of these items/think they anything to do with it? I hope my problem goes away with my first Upgraded ROM. I saw another thread with the same problem, he was about to send back for warranty, but maybe I talked him out of it. Any information helps,
Thanks!
HI Guys,
Did you manage to figure out what is causing this? I have just got my HD and have the same problem...the 'haptic' vibration from the buttons doesn't seem to work. it has been like this from out of the box and i have not added any additional progs (only got it unlocked from Orange!!). the vibration works for incoming calls so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the hardware.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
Regards

well
well, haptic feedback you mean, any button you press, on touchscreen and all? The only buttons that are suppose to have feedback without touch response application installed is the home, back, phone answer and hangup buttons at the bottom. There is a setting for those vibrate items. Try settings, personal, buttons, virtual button, see the vibration check mark? Does the Teeter game have vibration feedback on yours? If these things make a difference for you, you probably don't have a hardware issue, but if your getting any vibrate, should just be settings. Some of us on here are having major vibration hardware dysfunctions, just awful
Thanks for the response!!
Sorry to hear 'bout the major vib issues
I have tried all the 'virtual buttons' settings and the touch flo settings but i dont get any response from any buttons. i tried TEETER but there's no response from that either, but again i get vibration when I'm called.
Just thought someone may have noticed a 'glitch' somewhere, cause i initially noticed that if you apply a phonelock pin on set-up, it disables the use of the end-key to lock the phone..and i thought it may have been a software glitch or something....
New to the phone and win mob so soz if these are noob q's

Vibration gone?

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:
/showthread.php?t=628264
(I can't post links since I'm a new user)
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...!!!

Weaker button vibrate?

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

Anyone have weird vibration behavior?

First, I am very pleased with this phone.
Secondly, I'm just curious, does anyone else get some occasional, random vibrations from their M? I keep it in vibration mode most of the day and every now and then it'll spontaneously give some short vibrations. No notifications to go with it, and this is when it's just sitting on my desk. I'm not touching the shoulder buttons by accident or anything.
Thanks!

As a matter of fact yes I have been getting them lately as well. I ordered a rubberized silicone case that I have been using and I thought that maybe that was the reason because it may have been too tight or the buttons on the side sticking to the case but now apparently I'm not the only one...

I assume for all of you that it only occurs when you are in vibrate mode?
How frequent is it? A couple times per day?

Yes in vibrate mode and It varies. Sometimes never at all, Sometimes twice a day, or twice a minute Its really unpredictable.

same for me... not noticing it too often since i'm mostly not on vibrate
Has anyone figured this out? It's been driving me nuts for months. I've got a Razr Maxx, and I almost never have my phone on vibrate, but it will occasionally give a quick haptic feedback buzz or two with no indication as to why. I didn't notice it until after the ICS update, so I'm wondering if it's a bug. For you guys with the Razr M, did it go away when you updated to Jelly Bean?

This happens to me too in silent, loud or vibrate mode, I even had this problem on my previous droid raz maxx and now same thing on droid raz m, makes me think im crazy sometimes when i dont see any notification after the vibration.
Debug Mode
I know my M if you hit the power and the volume up button in the right moment it will create a debug log. It also seems that it does it not right after I hit it but sometime waits a little. I turned debug off and have had no issues since. Just turn it on when I need to use it.

It might be an app sending you a notification, even if nothing is showing in your notification bar. I turned off notifications in YahooMail, but didn't turn off the sound. I would always get a real faint beep every time I would get an email but I wouldn't get the notification. I didn't have notifications set to vibrate, so I didn't get a vibration. Check your notification settings on all apps that have them.
