This has happened to me two times. What happens is that my Prophet suddenly just vibrates non-stop even without a notification. It keeps vibrating even if i change the alarm to mute or sound.
So what I do is I soft reset the phone. Then it never starts up anymore
It is just stuck in the Windows Mobile splash screen and only a hard reset fixes it..
btw, this has happened within a span of less than 2 weeks.
I have the same issue after upgrade to WM6. 2 times already. I can use soft reset to stop it. Would be good if someone can help.

Hello all...
just got my polaris last month. everything was ok, the phone was NEVER been dropped or what so ever. i treated it like my baby. but sometimes something weird happened. my polaris keeps vibrating when there is incoming message. and it keeps vibrating until i have to soft reset it. anything else wont do. the X button, task manager etc. everything in my polaris is original. anyone had this problem before? please help!
thank you
It has happened to me a couple of times.
I've no idea why, I have also treated my phone gently as is my custom with all my technology. There do not seem to have been any side effects though and it has only happend twice since i got the phone three months ago.
I don't think it's much to worry about.
*fingers crossed*
Just flash new rom, it helps

No, that won't help. Got the problem 3 times now, i think, in more then 6 months. Got the problem with the original, bepe and with the latest udK Diamond ROM. Just soft-reset and wait till the next time it happens
If your phone gets stuck vibrating, you can turn off the vibration by triggering an event that causes a vibration (instead of having to reboot the device). I used to have to send myself a text message (I have my phone set to vibrate for incoming texts) and that would do the trick. Now with the latest S2U2 builds with the volume control enhancement, I just use that to turn vibrate on and off (it will vibrate when you turn it to vibrate) and that does the trick as well.
hmm...i guess there is no absolute solution to this problem.
My HTC Cruise got splattered with beer last night and now its constantly vibrating, i mean...even if i turn off the device it still does it. Tried soft and hard reset, dry, clean, dry again and nothing happened, still the same. It only stops when i remove the battery of course.
The weird thing is that it vibrates in a less strong way than normal vibration. is this a known issue? How do i solve it? doest it have anything to do with the water detector on this type of phones?
Please, someone help me its really anoying to have a phone vibrating like that in my pocket lol. Thank you in advance.
I'm not sure how many people, if any, have experience with this phone, but I'm taking a shot in the dark because I am completely out of options here. The phone is similar to the Cect M88, and the other Cect iPhone-clones available, although I'm not sure how similar the button layout is.
I installed PCM Keyboard last night, and all was working fine until this afternoon, when all of a sudden, my phone wouldn't wake up. I ended up having to pull the battery in order to get it to restart, but then it wouldn't boot past the Windows Mobile screen (the first one - didn't even make it to the second screen).
After several attempts to hard reset (top volume button + camera button + power button), I was able to get it reset, but even though active sync was running, folders weren't showing up properly on the phone itself. I did a soft reset, and folders then showed up, but this time active sync wouldn't load on the phone. Several more soft resets did nothing, but I kept trying, and finally... the phone froze up again to the point where it hung on the Windows Mobile screen again. Now, despite all attempts, I can't even get it to hard reset. When I push all buttons from an off state, the screen will turn blue (which seems to indicate some kind of resetting is going on since it normally goes straight to the WM screen) and then a few seconds later, the Windows Mobile screen will come up and hang. I've tried every combination of buttons possible, and I've tried hard resetting probably a good 20-30 times since this happened. I've removed the SIM card, removed the SD card... I've basically tried hard resetting seemingly every way possible, and yet it still will not reset and load up WM 6.0 pro like it should.
Any ideas on how I can get this thing to at least move past the WM screen? If I'm totally unable to hard reset, what would be the next best course of action? Since this is an off-brand phone with no support or any kind of warranty, are there repair places out there that can restore the OS? Is that something I can do myself? (Phone didn't come with any software or anything.) I'm at a loss here... I really don't want to end up with a $200 blue flashlight/paperweight. I know I took my chances when I bought it, but well... this stinks.

hey man i know its old and hopefully you still have your phone.. ok what you need to do is let the phone die completely so you may have to keep the blue screen on and keep turning it on till your phone does this like you i have hard reseted serveral time to no avail but when the phone died i took out the battery plugged it in to the wall charger placed the battery in the phone let the red led light by the camera light up then i turned it on and before the screen could show the splash i did the hard reset phone is aye ok !! hope this helps man.. your post helped me..

Hi guys,
When I get a message the phone vibrates 3 times, like normal. But sometimes randomly it vibrates 1 time and then unlimited vibration. Until I get it out of my pocket and press the powerbutton so the screen goes on again. When the screen is on again the phone resumes the 2 vibrates. Very strange. I had it on multiple roms with different radio's. I don't use TF3D but HTC Home Plugin VGA edition.
I've experienced the same issue you speak of with the stock ROM, and I haven't found a solution or cause yet either.
I think it was this what caused my phone to sometimes go out. Because the vibration consumed all the power.
Do you use Touch Flo?

That would be the angry bee. It is something that just happens. I've had it so bad that I have had to soft reset the phone. It only happens to me every great once in a while. However, I haven't run the stock rom since about 2 hours after buying the phone.
has happened to me twice now.
ive had the phone about 2 months.

I've had it happen to me a few times and had to soft reset it to make it stop. It doesn't happen too often, so I haven't been too worried about it.
I've had it happen when I launch an application just as it is starting to vibrate to signal a notification.
Do you guys also always have it as the second vibration? When it hangs it always is the second vibration at me. And when I press the screen again he makes 2 after it again.
I had a similar issue with the initial stock rom - my wife messaged me in the middle of a meeting and my phone would not STOP VIBRATING. Since it was on the desk, it buzzbuzzbuzzed really loud.
Now I'm on the Energy 3.0 rom and have not had an issue. Even with the updated leaked stock rom I didn't have the issue.
I discover that it only vibrates wrongly when I have the screen off. Pretty annoying though.
Don't we use some kind of stuff in common?
I use:
HTC Home VGA Edition for front end instead of manilla
HomeScreen++ for the handy shortcuts
I checked some things again, I am not 100% sure but I think it was HomeScreen++ that caused the problems here. The exact settings: at the Tools tab "Lock if Display is Off and vice versa, which didn't work anyway at the touch pro (did work on htc's I had before though), but I checked it off and now it still rings 3 times and no less or more. Hope this was it.
I do not use HomeScreen++ and it happens to me at least once a day, sometimes twice. Mine always seems to happen on the third vibrate, it will do the first two and then the third one just stays on. I press the power button for the screen to come back on and it stops.
I have it too sometimes.
EnergyRom 3.0
And you guys have something that auto lock the screen when you press the power off button? Or do you lock the screen before pressing the power button? Because here it seems to have something to do with the locking in combination of the standby mode (screen off)
Hello Guys,
I started to have problems with my wing and end up in three-color bootloader screen. I can tell you that I am not playing around with my phone. I do not even install any software not to risk its basic phone functionality since I am using this phone as a business phone. So, no crazy rom flash or etc has been done prior to this problem.
My phone started to have problems with answering calls last week. When it was ringing, it was keep ringing and I was not able to take the call even though I was pressing every possible buttons on the phone. It was locking.
I noticed that phone was locking the buttons too. So, I selected "do not lock buttons when the device is off". But, this does not have any effect. Phone was keep locking my buttons.
Last night, I noticed that my phone was unresponsive once again as usual, I soft reset the device, and it booted to the three color screen (I think you guys call this bootloader screen?) where it says "IPL 4.26.0002" and "SPL 4.26.0000". Tried to soft reset probably another 10 more times. same thing...
I took out the battery, went to sleep. Put back the battery in the morning, it booted to the OS and phone is running. But none of the hard buttons were working. It also hangs up the incoming call after first ring. I soft reset the device once again and it went back to the three-color screen.
I went to the Tmobile website, and found that there is an upgrade ROM. I downloaded and ran that program. It said that it installed it to the device successfully, and then the device rebooted itself. Guess what, back to the three-color screen.
I have been reading your forum since morning, and read a lot about brick phones etc. I tried couple of the techniques for recovering brick phones, but nothing helped. Hopefully, someone here can tell me what is going on, even though if the answer is to throw the device to the trash.
Additional Observations
It looks like nobody is interested
I have other observations.
- When "do not lock buttons" is checked, phone starts acting even more weirder. it generates keystrokes by itself. Camera starts taking photos.
- If the battery of the phone is out at least an hour (I don't know why), phones boots fine. If you soft reset at the moment, it will always goes back to the three color bootloader.
Can this be a virus?
I have had this tab for a few weeks and noticed that when it is in sleep mode the screen tends to go on and off randomly. Am I missing a setting or is this an issue. It is rooted and I am running GO Launcher. Any clues?
Mine re-boot randomly. So, I always kill the sound because I don't want to wake up at midnight by booting sound.
Usually my GTP reboot every 1~2 days, and became soft brick every 3~4 days. I should hard reset to boot it again.
What I have done to my GTP? All vanila. Original rom from factory, didn't root, just install 10~14 apps.
Mine kept rebooting randomly, and became a brick one day (hard brick). I tried to so soft reset, hard reset, factory reset, Odin and re-write Original ROM and etc...
Nothing worked. So, sent to Samsung service center. My tab was only 3 month old.
After fixed, random re-boot keeps happening.
