Hey folks i've recently notice that the haptic feedback has grown very weak on my Evo 4G. It's to the point where you can hardly feel it vibrate. I've been running HTC Sense 2.3 and also I am rooted. Once I noticed the haptic feedback wasn't working the same way I went into the sound menu and turned off the haptic feed and restarted the phone and clicked it back on nothing happened i've also tried holding the volume down button to allow the vibrator to stay on to hopefully notice a difference but nothing has still happened. I would like to know if there is anyway to fix the issue.

Wasn't sure really where to post this. I just got my Mesmerize a few days ago and everything is working perfectly except the vibrate and haptic feedback is insanely weak (if I receive a call while i am holding the phone, I can barely feel it). I have checked all settings and the phone has been reset, reflashed, etc. It was doing this with stock 2.1 as well. Normally I would bring it back but it's an ebay phone. It is most likely a hardware issue, I guess. I just need someone to tell me I'm screwed so I can move on. Thanks!
I'm curious to see if anyone is having problems with their Thunderbolt vibrating while typing, moving widgets, incoming calls or lowering their volume to vibrate.
While typing, moving widgets, using the soft keys at the bottom of the phone or lowering my volume to vibrate I notice that randomly my vibration will cease to work. And by not work I mean absolutely no vibration, even when I receive a call. Then out of no where it will start to work again, of course randomly as well.
I know it's definitely not a rom issue nor kernel as it has happened to me on multiple roms, even my current unrooted stock setup. Do you guys think its a defect with the phone? I hope not because I'm not to keen on getting a "like new refurb" after only having my Tbolt for just about 30 days...
I'm noticing the same thing. I also experience random ringtone and volume changes. Earlier today could barely hear text notification even with volume all the way up. Working fine now. Mine is stock.

If it continues to do that after a factory reset, then most likely you have a hardware problem. Assuming you two are both stock.
I spoke to tech support and a rep at the store (>.< I know) and they agreed to replace my phone. Rooted and unrooted I had the problem so odds are pretty good that it is a hardware issue.
@saraheba I'd unroot and return to stock and see if the problem persists. If so then you may be in the same boat of having a defective phone.
Make sure you don't have automatic power management enabled. It will disable vibration when you get a low battery.

Checked and unfortunately wasn't the cause. Thanks for the advice.
I spoke too soon anyway lol. Now my text notification has changed itself to vibrate only even with all volumes maxed. Hoping itll clear up on its own.

Hey everyone, so I just flashed Cyanogen 260 nightly and got everything running when something odd happened. I tried opening Astro, but it force closed. Since then, my haptic feedback hasn't been working. I've rebooted and checked all the settings for it to no anvil. The only time my phone vibrates now is when booting up to the splash screen, right before the boot animation. Does anyone have any ideas?
Have you checked in cyanogenmod settings under input. There are options for haptic feedback there.

Yeah. I've checked that already. Just a little update, I banged my phone against my palm to see of that would do anything. The first time I did it the phone vibrated quite a few times. After that I was unable to rereplicate that event.. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.

haha, well I would say banging your phone on your palm is not going be the best thing for your phone's life but and I know this is gonna be a huge pain in the ass if you have a lot of stuff, you can always reflash and see if that brings back your haptic feedback..at least then if it doesn't your one step closer to diagnosing it as a hardware problem..
Haha. When i woke up this morning the haptic feedback was working like usual. It was an odd problem, it could possibly be battery related because my phone was charging all last night.well anyways thanks for all the help!!
My first thought is that it's a hardware problem on my phone. No haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons, keyboard, ringer, etc. I checked that haptic feedback is turned on in the settings and it is. I've restarted a few times and still nothing. I'm going to factory reset to see if that helps, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone else is experiencing this. It happened pretty much right after updating SwiftKey 3 yesterday, but uninstalling Swiftkey does nothing, so maybe it's just a coincidence.
Thanks!

Are you on stock?

Yep, unrooted stock.
I'm 99.9% sure it's a hardware failure of my vibrator motor. If I slap the phone (lightly) against my hand, it works for a few seconds, then stops.

Hmm weird.. two days after I bought my phone the audio stopped working and I was afraid it was a hardware fault but it was solved after a full wipe, so try that first.

I currently own a HTC One S, from the HTC company itself. It is not affiliated with any cellphone companies. Unfortunately I do not know what happened that for some apparent reason now the vibration doesn't work anymore, or it works sometimes. The vibration will decide to go off when it feels like it wants to, maybe sometimes when it gets a text message or when I change from Loud mode to Vibrate mode, but the keyboard feedback is off, the phone does not vibrate when I get a phone call or anything of the such. I've googled a few things and came across possibly the power saving mode but considering my version of the HTC One S does not support that option I can not do anything about that. I have dropped my phone a few times but I refuse to believe that may the case since the phone does vibrate every now and then. I have a feeling that it may have to do with the update I got for the HTC One S around Christmas Eve, and if it possibly to revert from this update or if there is any other solutions possible?
Thank you.
