Lately (within 3-4 weeks) i have noticed that my Infuse vibrates quite obnoxiously.
At first i thought it was just the new case i bought, however when i take the case off it still vibrates loudly. It's actually something you could hear across a room if it went off on a desk or other flat surface. The only time when the vibration is subtle is when its in my pocket, or i have a death grip on it lol
I tried to remedy the problem myself through several attempts:
1. Flash a different ROM - Failed
2. Set vibration to "only in Silent Mode"- Failed
3. Change vibration intensity - Failed (only controls haptic feedback)
Has anyone had similar problems that could shed some light on this situation?! its almost too loud for me to carry my phone in school \)
I'm running DarkyROM for Infuse.
Any help regarding the topic is appreciated guys
- Thanks

I posted this on the Verizon forums and it was suggested that I also post here looking for an answer so here it goes.
My phone will randomly turn sound off. According to all sound profiles my sound is on and it should make noise when ringing or text messages come in. The problem is that the sounds will randomly turn off but not necessarily all of them. I may receive text notifications and not rings or vice versa or I may not receive either. Then randomly they will come back and I will receive all the sound notifications.
I recently had my phone replaced and once I got the new one it began doing the same thing. I just can't believe that it is a coincidence that I would get two phones (both brand new) that would do the same thing. In an effort to fix it I updated my firmware on my old phone and everything but did not help.
I love this phone and I don't want to get rid of it and I don't want to go back to the Verizon store if there is a fix for it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
Hi,
I also have an Omnia II. And I do not have those issues. But what I do know is that there is an option that if you flip your phone (with the screen facing ground) the sound will shut off if someone is calling. Like if you are in a meeting and someone is calling, you just turn your phone and the sounds is then silenced.
You can find these this setting in Start>Settings>Basic settings>Motion setting
(could be other names as I use a Dutch windows)

This is the most likely problem. They set it up so that, even if the phone is tiled just slightly downward, the sound will be turned off. They really should have made it a more direct-downward position. If you turn that off and still have problems then check to make sure you're not activating a silent mode with the volume-down rocker on the side of the phone. Holding the rocker down for a few seconds will put the phone into either vibrate or silent. Hope you get it figured out!
My phone has started dropping the volume to lowest audible setting (not completely silent, 1/7) on its own lately. It's quite annoying. It doesn't even happen due to it being in my pocket and triggering the buttons accidentally. I've been chatting on gtalk for the past few hours, been keeping it out of reach of any pockets and it's happened twice.
It's an unlocked, unrooted One S from Germany and I don't have any volume control apps on it.
Any ideas what could be causing it?
EDIT:
Looks like it's an issue with gtalk, not the phone itself:

Hello everyone,
About 8 months ago I dropped my Pixel. I was pretty upset, had only had it a month, but all it did was put a dent right where the opening for the speaker is. Sound worked, screen wasn't cracked, I was happy.
Well, 8 months have gone by and about 2 days ago I think the mesh that covers the speaker has turned loose from the case. Again, no big deal, it's still there, sound still works, etc. BUT ... now I get this HORRIBLE metal rattle every single time the phone vibrates.
Does anyone know how to turn off ALL vibration for the phone?
I've gone through Settings -> Sounds and turned it off for phone calls and touches. I've gone through some individual apps like Hangouts and Messages and turned it off for those app's notifications. But there are so many times the phone vibrates.
How do I turn off the vibrate for when you unlock with the fingerprint sensor? How do I turn off the vibrate for when you double click the power button to quick launch the camera?
If anybody knows how to disable ALL vibration on the phone I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris Williams
Don't think you can disable the fingerprint vibration or the camera vibration unless you're running a custom rom. You could try and run a custom kernel that let's you set the vibration intensity. You could then set it to 0 and the vibration motor won't work anymore.
Hello,
I received my phone two days ago (switched from OP3). I noticed something odd. The vibration sounds like "vibrating phone with protruding camera laying on desk". Even if I hold it in my hand. Even with case put on.
My vibration strength is set to about 66%. If there is a long vibration (sms notification or call) it sounds like vibration motor is working with few very small interruptions in those ~3 seconds.
When I get back from work I will try to record that sound.
Anyone got the same feeling with their phone? Is it normal? Or should I write to Asus about it?
Compared to prior Samsung devices, I find the vibration motor very very weak. In fact I literally just missed a call when the phone was on my desk next to me because sound was off and only vibration was on!
Anyone know a way to increase it beyond max? Any apps out there?
vibration motor is hardware-based so maybe be it's not possible. but you can try by searching the vibration option in settings, many tech reviewers said so
Samsung changed to x-axis (from previous models' z-axis vibration motor).
Better haptic feedback in hand/ when typing maybe (as motor now located in lower half of handset) but vibration intensity seems less, especially when handset resting in table, etc.
