Vibrate broken on phone or by software config - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey everyone,
I'm suspecting that the vibration mechanism is broken on my phone but would like to confirm. I can't remember if it started happening after I flashed Sky ICS 4.2E-9 or before. No matter what config I use I can't get the phone to vibrate. Going to tasker and creating a task to vibrate won't make it do so, neither will using the smart vibrator app.
What do you guys think? Is there a hardware malfunction or is there some config deep in the bowels of my phone that needs to be changed?
Thanks for any thougts on this matter,
Kraig

Does it vibrate during startup? It should vibrate before samsung image comes up.

No they don't. They stay at the setting in the app. Paul put it out its quality
Edit: this should be in the Q&A section

Ok I installed that program
I tried it before but didn't played too much with it
Do I know if I NEED the service running 24/7 on order to work?

If your using the app, yes the service MUST run. If its built into the kernel\ROM like CM7, then you dont even need the app
You shouldn't be running a task killer anyway. Android manages its services by itself killing system apps on a regular basis can make apps that need to be running in the back ground start again wasting battery. Plus your phone will act strange after awhile. You shouldn't use them.
Again this belongs in Q&A

Moved to proper forum.
Too bad I didn't read this thread earlier, I figured this out on my own today, doing the same thing, I changed my brightness to 1 (the lowest it would stay lit) , I do think this would definitely help out on battery life.

The Touch Key Lights app DOES NOT works properly with
1) Cyan 7 mod
I am using stock Android now, it works like a charm
One touch, and the program changes the value FOREVER (even after reboots, after I re-insert the battery...)

Problems with my g2x

Just need some info up hear in Canada. I'm on wind mobile with there just released lg optimus 2x but the phone is a P999 model. Just that my phone does random reboots, it freezes when the screen is black and I have to pull the battery to wake it up. Also my blue tooth keeps dropping connection and when I listen to you tube the audio come out of the phone and not the headset. So I just wanna know should I take the phone back and exchange it or there is nothing wrong with the phone and that all these problems will be fixed with the gingerbread update?

Yep common LG p999 problems,everyone's got em'. Who knows what the update will bring, but everyone's hopeful. For now try flashing cyanogen as it is much more stable than the stock froyo (no rebooting or "black screen of death).
Edit: sorry not sure about Bluetooth as I've never tried. I heard its not too great with cyanogen though...

Do you by chance use the back light notification app? I've heard that causes a lot of the reboot issues.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yes I have the notification app maybe I'll remove it for now and see what happens thks a bunch guys

You should do a factory reset.
That fixes most of the problems. If that doesn't fix it the try to exchange it.

Nexus S 4g questions

I am having few things i noticed with my phone don't know if anyone else is having it-
Back button doesn't work in any setting or app. For example if I go to phone settings disable Bluetooth back key is not lit, have to click on home and start over.
GPS takes forever to lock .
Phone doesn't have a led for missed calls, is there a app which can do bln.
phone is running stock rom (2.3.7) and its not rooted

Check out noled. It works pretty well.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
The back button should work. I'd say there is something wrong there. For the other things like bln you'll need to install a kernel which supports it. That requires that you root your phone.
No back button doesn't work its not lit.

You're 12 years old aren't you? Lol jk
Yes I realize that. I'm not saying I don't belive you I'm just stating that it should work and if it doesn't then there is something wrong with ether the hardware or software on your phone. Best bet would be to root it and flash a ROM from scratch.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.
I have heard of people complaining about this when there phone is plugged in but not otherwise maybe a bug? Or defective

Mine is stock but rooted. Not a big deal, can get it back to work by turning off the screen and turn it back on

Can themes change ringtones and notification sounds?

Hey guys, I really need help... I'm scared for my phones life right now... I'm running aokp now and it's great. Everything is running perfectly until yesterday. Somehow my notification sound turned into that awful tri-tone sound from the iPhone (that's the only reason its awful) and the ringtone changed into that nasty Maramba tone. I've changed themes a few times so the only explanation is themes change sounds or my phone is turning into an iPhone. D: if this is the case there's only one thing to do, burn the phone then smash it by running it over in my truck.

From what I was aware of no because the theming normally just deals with icons and looks nothing every really with sound files
This is where it should be since it pertains to themes

Yes it can. Cm10 uses a cyanogen tone whereas stock at&t uses firefly or something like that. That's not to say it always does, but yes it can.
