[Vibrator] Isn't working - General Questions and Answers

Well, that mayb sounds a bit weird but it's true. My phone does not vibrate anymore, at least, it does not vibrate when i'm being called. I don't know how it is with sms or mms, but when people call me i do not get a nice sensation anymore in my pants .
It all happend when I flashed Hyperdragon IV Lite on my kaiser. A nice dose of Anryl's 6.S_1 after Hyperdragon did not help me either. I've hard resetted my device but I had no success.
My phone vibrates when a connection is established, or when haptic feedback is enabled in S2U2. Also my phone vibrates when I soft reset it. When I'm in Sound & Notifications I cannot select vibrate for incoming calls and searching this forum did not help me either. Please, how can I enable my vibrator?

I'm kicking this thread.

very strange.
try PhoneAlarm to see if you can get that back
never heard of a rom not allowing Vibrate..

phone not ringing

My new xda2i seems to have a glitch, it doesn't like incoming calls. That is to say when I receive an incoming call it does't ring or vibrate. (yes I've set those settings properly!) If I do an SR it will then respond appropriately for a while but not always and not for long.
I thought it might have been something to do with Wibar advance 2.XXX but Ive disabled this and its still doing it, or not as the case actually is here!
Anyone else had these issues or got any thoughts other than send the thing back??
Pete
i have the same problem, and did as well on my old XDA2 and the XDA2s, the XDA2i is no different, after a while the phone gets "cloged up) some times it will ring but as i go to answer it says unable to answer the call, so i ring the caller back and they tell me they had been ringing for ages, and they hear the ringing tone and just think i am not answering the call.
but a spft reset fixes it, i am always soft reseting, and i have learned to live with it
John
thanks for the post, I guess I'm not the only one then huh? However I dont think SR's are the answer here I think this needs a more thorough resolution. If anyone has any ideas or solutions please respond on this thread.
I had the same problem and found that WisBar Advanced was causing this...
I uninstalled WisBar Advanced and the ringer worked again... There is a new Wisbar Beta that addresses this problem but I have not tried it yet.

Fuze does not ring...

On incoming calls, my Fuze does not ring. I have it set to 'vibrate and ring' and it only vibrates. I have changed ringtones, ring settings, turned it off and back on, soft reset, pulled the battery out, etc and nothing will make my phone ring. All other notifications work (alarms, text messages, etc) and it will work on speaker phone once a call is connected. Is there any advice? I am trying to avoid a Hard-reset because I have the device set-up perfectly to my tastes...

What format is the ring tone in?
My ringtone is the 'Oldphone2' and it is set at'vibrate and ring'. It just spontaneously started this non-ringing thing this morning prompted by no changing of settings. As I said, I tried messing around with the setting after it stopped ringing, but to no avail. And the frustrating thing is that everything else seems to work fine. Argh!
This may seem silly, but have you checked your ring volume? I've had a situation a few times, for no apparent reason after disconnecting from Activesync, where my ring volume was down to 0. Just a thought.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM, when you turn all to vibrate only and turn it back up . the ring stop working
Yes. all volume settings are up. ringer volume, call volume, media player volume.... Any other suggestions?
i had the same problem just now.. but changing the ringtone back to the ATT default one fixed it. I also use S2U2 and changing the setting for "vibrate when answered" or something like that seems to have fixed it as well.
Hope that helps.
what is S2U2? I have tried changing the ringtone back to ATT default and fiddling with the settings... No help there. This is frustrating. I have to keepmy phone on my desk in front of me so I dont miss any calls. I miss them if the phone is in my pocket.

this happened to me too and i hard resetted. that fixed it , then it started again. come to find out th eproblem was when i hit the volume key on the side i turned system valume up and didnt click on ringer volume to turn it up . i had to smack myself
do texts ringer still work?? if so then im pretty sure you have the same problem i had, check it. good luck though
Do you have the unit face down? It has an auto mute when face down.
I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. Volumes are turned on appropriately. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?
So somehow the problem fixed itself. Dont know how as I didnt even touch my phone for two days. I just turned it on and -BOOM- it rang a few minutes later. Totally spontaneous issue. Really strange this phone is sometimes...
Boy, do I feel dumb.....Never even noted the un hi-lighted RING volume TAB...
I guess I can't use THAT excuse for not answering calls...
Thanks

I've been having the same problem. It's very baffling to say the least. I believe it was caused by the newer versions of S2U2. Don't know if it's been discussed in that thread or not. Both times this ringer 'glitch' has occurred, it's been when I've password protected S2U2 in settings. The issue was fixed by turning the password protection off, restarting S2U2, soft resetting my Fuze.
I am having the same problem with incoming calls not playing the ring tone and missing calls. I can guarantee you that the system/ring volume controls are at maximum. I have switched ring tones to no avail. It seems to have something to do with changing the ring type from ring to increasing ring and or visa versa. When I change ring type the problem exists. If I turn system/ring volume to silent and then back to maximum it plays the ring tone just fine. There is a bug in there somewhere! I also see a 'send text' lower left of screen and I hear a blurp sound or two in the background wihile the ringtone is playing when the phone is ringing. Anyone else have any issues like this? If so or you have a fix please send it to [email protected] I'm new to this forum stuff and don't really know how to use it. Hope I didn't break any rules.
Thank you,

I just have the callers complaining that I take too long to answer the phone. I called myself, and it took 3 1/2 rings for my Fuze to ring...anyone else?
Great PPC, Lousy Phone
Mine too. I just tried it and it does not ring until seven seconds after the light starts flashing. Not only that, it will not retain a custom ring tone. I try to use Old Phone 2 but it reverts to the default on its own.
My vario iv also suffers from the missing ring tone- reboots sometimes help but not always.
I too have had to learn not to rely on the alarm- goes off some days and then not on others.
Just now I thought that I would try to play an mp3 to see if that works- I pressed play and then waited for the track to start- no sound- seconds later the screen changed and touchflow launched itself (again) went back to the home tab and the sound is back?????
Same problem... it stopped ringing...
one thing I notice is that if the number calling is private or block it will only light up (no ring) but from a caller with Caller ID open the phone will ring...
strange...

sms notification

Hi People,
I am owner of HTC Diamond 2, and I have a problem with sms notifications.
In options I set up ringing, vibrations and LED for incoming messages. But when i receive a message it sometimes only blinking (no sound, no vibrations). And when phone is switched on then sound the ring and vibrations. Not always, but often.
Have you got some advices?
Thanx a lot.
Peace,

Hey, its a common problem.
Here's the hotfix
http://www.htc.com/asia/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=592
this hotfix can not fix the problem if you use Cooked ROMs!
See this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529527&page=3
The Hotfix also doesn't activate vibration for messages when screen is in sleep mode and Vibrate profile is selected..
I have original ROM. Is there something that is 100% good?
I tried to install hotfix from htc website, but it doesn't work
i tried the hotfix, but with erratic result even in original rom.
so i finally settle to this:-
Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
When my td2 in is sleep mode, when sms comes in, it wakes up and sounds.
If you don't want your device to wake up every time a new sms arrives, there is another fix that will increase the time the device has to notify you about the sms, before going in suspendend mode again.
Change the registry values below to 10
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattResumingSuspendTimeout
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts\ACResumingSuspendTimeout
Do a soft reset, or switch off and back on the phone, and you should be set..

Sprint touch pro2 will not keep my ring type!

I like to have my phone ring and vibrate, but randomly, the phone will change back to simply ringing. Any idea how to keep this ring type to vibrate and ring as default?
Same happens to me!
Same thing happens to me also!!!
And this phone has other bugs also....nice phone but comeon HTC...do some valid testing on it...
It's not random, but it is a glitch. When you use the volume control and go to silent or vibrate only and then change back, it changes the ring type. I have another thread going on this topic and someone else said they talked to HTC and it is a bug they were able to reproduce and will fix it in some future software upgrade, what ever that means.
it will also reset to ring only upon soft reset
I found a fix for this @ ppcgeeks. Install the ring and vib fix.cab. My TP2 now keeps its vibrate setting.

[HELP] Low vibrations

Hello, i have a little problem, when I had my old phone HTC Artemis (P3300) I had it mute and set only on vibration. When i had my phone in pocket I felt it everytime when i had incoming phone call or sms. Now with my Leo, whe i set my phone to vibration only mode I often didn't recognize if someone really calling. Don't feel anything... Is it possible that Leo has lower vibration than my old Artemis?
If yes, is any way how to make it vibrate more?
ThX
set it to vibrate not silent and see if it helps
dunno about vibrating more or something. not sure if it is posible... all I know is there is an app i had see in opnmarket that changes the vibration pattern. see if that helps too
cheers
Do you have a rubber case on? I also had this issue and when I removed the rubber case the vibration was stronger.
