LG G6 Vibration stopped. - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I seemed to have this issue with an old V10 but I thought maybe after 2 years the motor just got old. This phone is still new and I have lost all vibration function. Has this happened to anyone else yet or does anyone know if there is something I can do to confirm a defect/fix?

Have you used Smart Doctor app to diagnose and see if it picks up anything?

I'm looking for that app and only finding things for human health...do you know the company name?

Are your sure it's not an setting or something software related? If a factory reset does not resolve then you likely have an hardware problem. I had a hardware issue on my G5 like that. Motor didn't work for weeks, then one day I dropped it worked fine ever since.

Lucky you. I wish mine breaks I hate the vibrator in Android phones. They all feel so cheap. I want it gone when unlocking the phone too but I can't. It makes the phone feel cheaper than it looks with its poor vibrator feel (and sound).

Happened to me last night, LG G600S

You know you can disable it, right?

Yes. Or at least I believe so as when battery saver engages the finger print sensor also stops providing vibration feedback.

launch lg g6 (LG-H871 rev 1.0) - opening weekend. Vibrate function completely died yesterday.
Using vibrate app to test - no results on manual press. shaking the phone yielded no results. Gonna get a replacement.
Glad to know Im not the only one getting this issue

Did you manage to find a solution? Mine just started doing the same. Vibration stopped, checked with vibration test apps, booted in safe mode, factory reset and nothing. I'd rather not send the phone for repair and warranty is out of the question.

Damn I'm not happy to see this thread. Mine seemed to have stopped today. Not sure why or how. I'm gonna have to do some digging and see what's going on

Mine just started the same thing. No vibration at all!

Same issue here. Vibration stopped working, no way to get it to work again.

Mine also has stopped. No feedback from the keyboard, fingerprint sensor or vibration from calls/texts.
I plan on reaching out to LG today to see what I can figure out.
Anybody have any luck on finding a fix yet?

Can you guys please also share your model number- European, US, single or dual sim, bootloader unlocked or not, rooted or not, any particular action after which vibration stopped working.
Thanks in advance.

I know that this is really going to help anyone, but someone on Reddit had the same problem, then it started working again.

Glad to have found this thread. Yesterday mine suddenly stopped working. I have the AT&T version.

Warranty with US LG

Hello.
I'm having issues with my knock on not working. After researching some on the forum, I realized it was because I have a dead spot near the top of my screen. Today, my phone was doing some phantom touches.
Immediately, I initiated an RMA. I read that LG repair has a really negative review. Has anyone else sent in their phones for warranty repair?
Also: phone has never been dropped or scraped, and is in perfect condition otherwise.

I'm pretty surprised to know that no one has done an RMA with LG.

If anyone cares, I've sent in my phone, and it has been received by LG in Fort Worth.

Let me know how it goes.
Today is the fifth day since they have received my phone. I called to get an update, and was told that the technician is still working on it, but has not provided any updates. I was advised that they have a five to seven business day turnaround. I think they may be missing that turnaround time at this point.
Will update when they provide any info. At this point, they are still unsure whether warranty will cover my screen issues (dead spot, phantom touches, knock on is dead). Stock phone, nothing modified.

LG tracking shows that unit is being sent back to me.
I'm not quite sure if the phone is going to be in working order yet.
Wish me luck, because I have read a lot of reviews saying that the phones were never actually repaired m

Let us know whether they fixed it or not.
Finally received my phone today, on a Saturday with FedEx Home Delivery service.
Took the phone out of the box it came out, and immediately noticed additional IMEI stickers on the back of the device. The device came very dirty on the back, with stickers around the case. I thought they had sent me a refurb, especially when the scratches that I had on the main screen were not there.
I matched the IMEI with the one that came with the original box, and it seems to match.
They replaced the proximity sensor and 'updated software'. I still don't have knock code, however.
Customer service has been horrible, especially since they have absolutely no contact with the service people. CS knew absolutely nothing about the repairs.
Edit: Functions of the phone have returned to normal.
I developed the same issues with mine a couple days ago. Always in a case, never dropped. Dead spots near the top, no knock on. Gonna try to get it replaced by ATT first, otherwise will have to do rma through LG.
Basically, that whole bar is a dead spot.

My phone has exact same issue. Same location as you have shown. I should be getting another unit from T-Mobile today. Any idea if this a software issue or hardware?

There is another thread about this issue, which basically said it's heat that caused the sensor to break.

Build quality

Guys had my phone for about a week.
Im not too sure if this has been happening since i got it or not..
But if i gently shake my device it feels like something is loose around the camera module or in the camera
Can anyone confirm if this is a known thing?

That's normal. The rattle you hear is the auto focus mechanism moving. My S5 does that too as do several others.

Touchscreen issue

So all of a sudden tonight my knock on feature stopped working. Then I noticed that I have a dead spot on my screen as you can tell from the photo attachment. I have no warranty so sending it in to LG isn't an option. I've did some reading and can't seem to find if this is a software or hardware issue? Can anyone shed some light here? It's a D803 variant. Should I replace the digitizer or not? I need a working phone asap as I'm driving across the country next week.
Thanks

Had this problem as well along with many others. I do believe it is a hardware issue. As far as your method of repair, I'm not sure. I got mine replaced under warranty.

I appreciate your feedback. Went to my local repair shop today and they are gonna replace my LCD and digitizer for me on Monday. $100 charge to do it. I'm fine with that I need a working phone especially since I'm about to drive across the country. Here's to hoping.

Still no idea how to replicate it. Seems to happen randomly. I usually have to turn off and on the screen to get it working again.

Strange issue, in thinking it could be the screen protector, or maybe you have all in one gestures enabled or a similar app that allows you to tap on statusbar for something. , or could just be defective. That's all I got. There was an awesome update today for T-Mobile
It fixes screen sensitivity and palm rejection as well as battery and performance upgrades. Its a great update but don't take it if you are gonna want root because they might find a vulnerability on the old software. Or maybe they find it on later software. No one really knows right now. Its up to u but I upgraded. Its worth it to me.

Haptic feedback randomly stops working until reboot

Randomly my haptic feedback stops and won't come back until I reboot. Anyone else have this issue?
Yes. It's annoying. Don't understand why. Also my apps well randomly not be available. I have to uninstall and reinstall. Super frustrating

Mine all of a sudden went super weak. I have it turned up all the way in the settings. Not sure what's going on.

I feel like Samsung phones are RPG based and they only have a certain amount of points to use so they take the IR Blaster and add the SD slot back, they add water resistance and locked the boot loader. Why can't they just give without taking?

This happens to me as well. Is this a software issue? I have an international version, though.
