Hi, I have an HTC Inspire rooted with the newest Cyanogenmod 7. Out of randomness, my phone is now deciding it wants to vibrate during calls, the entirety of them. Also if I adjust my volume, it will be stuck playing notification sounds as if I were getting a call. This happens even if I lock the phone. If I put my phone on silent, this fixes everything, but I can't have that; What can I do? This is a completely fresh CM install.
There is a setting for it. Not sure where. Try in telephone, settings and uncheck vibrate in call ir whatever it's called.

That's not the problem at all. The phone is vibrating nonstop. Not just once when answering and hanging up. I've disabled these options and it still continues to vibrate.

take it to one of those pure romance parties, im sure you could sell it for $300+ with that feature!!
on a serious note, it is sounding either like it was a bad download or bad flash. I wouldnt rule out hardware either. Has the phone ever been dropped or get exposed to water?
edit: did some reading and it's sounding like there is possibly a short in the vibrate circuit. is it under warranty still?

It is, and I'll be taking it back if a reflash and then unroot doesn't fix it. However what about the ringing issue?
Well, a reflash worked. If this happens again however, what the heck could it possibly be?

could be a number of things. if it happens again i would just return it to stock and get it replaced. diagnosing things like this is like trying to fix a car over the internet, it mostly just involves people guessing until you get lucky or break it more

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.

I noticed this morning nothing would make my phone vibrate anymore.l checked every setting and made sure everything was set to vibrate but nothing would actually make the phone shake, then I determined it must be a hardware issue after doing factory resets, OEM flashes, and several NANDROID restores - I smacked the back of the phone with my knuckles right where the speaker is, and while I was in the volume control panel I had the vibrate length menu open, i selected an option and the phone very very weakly vibrated, and having vibrated once, it then lodged itself loose again or something because it wouldn't vibrate again until I smacked it again.
I've had it for 2 months, I've never ever dropped it or, with the exception of hitting it to diagnose my issue, ever let it experience any kind of acceleration or sudden stop. I babied this thing and then this **** happens? I don't have TEP - what should i do? Should I take it apart? My warranty is already void from unlocking the bootloader, or is this different because it's a hardware issue????
Hardware issues != software issue.
I'd take it to a store and see what they say. I need to take mine in sometime too to see what they'll do about my caps lock LED since it never worked.

They're sending out a new one right now so I'm just gonna swap phones.
Exact same thing happened to me.
Did they charge you $50 to get a replacement phone like they did to me?

Yup, a refurb at that. I found out that the Photon 4G motor is the same as in the Q but I can't solder that precisely so I just paid the $50. ****.
Hello all, I have a problem with vibrations on my I9105P. More specifically: my phone fell down from a table right on the floor (maybe 0.5 meter) and since then vibration doesn't work. Everything else works fine, tried reflashing the system and all - nothing works (first I thought it was kernel's fault). What can I do now? Will the warranty cover the repair?
PS. I use case for my phone - it's made of a silicone or something like this (don't know exactly).
If ur phone falls down, how u can say that is kernel problem?

Well, maybe I said it wrong. I didn't notice that the vibration isn't working for about 5 hours after the fall and so when I reflashed the kernel I thought about the fall - my phone used to fall from time to time and it never broke, so now I'm quite confused. However today, when I was writing on the phone's keyboard, it vibrated once while pressing the letter. Since then - silence.
If you stay it vibrated once that means it's somehow not completely broken. I would disable every sort of vibration in the phone's settings. The vibration motor is probably stuck and it is probably getting damaged more if it keeps trying to spin like that. What did you think - if the phone survived one fall it will survive 10 more just as well? Try the warranty, there's a good chance they'll cover it. Or learn to live without vibration.

I didn't think like that. I guess it's like every time it fell down I felt a relief, because nothing was broken (I wasn't throwing my phone around my house, as I said, it OCCASIONALLY fell). Anyway, thanks for help - I'll try the warranty, just wasn't sure if they will accept it at the service.
My Nexus 5 vibrate motor seems to randomly stop. Usually, it stops working for just a few seconds at a time, but sometimes it stops for more than just a few seconds. It started randomly one day, and I haven't been able to tie it to a specific app yet, and it didn't coincide with the installation of a kernel or ROM.
I'm running rooted stock Lollipop with elementalX kernel (2.03).
I've tried pushing on the back, since some people have issues with the vibration motor not making good contact with the rest of the phone, but it seems that doesn't really do anything for me. It seems to help occasionally, but not necessarily.
Sometimes turning the screen off and back on helps, but sometimes not either.
Unfortunately, the inconsistency is making it difficult for me to figure out what the problem is. Could it just be a dying motor?
You can open it up and reseat the vibration motor on its sticky pad if you're not worried about the warranty. Alternatively, some of those with the issue have reported success giving the phone a good smack.

Thanks for the ideas
I did try reseating the motor, and I thought it was going well, but after about a full day or so, I was hit with a non-vibrating motor again Turning the phone off and back on didn't help, but shaking it a bit seemed to do well
I have tried giving the phone a good smack, but it seems like a temporary thing. I'm mostly afraid I might miss a call, message, or vibrate alarm if I run into this problem with the phone in my pocket
And it happens with stock kernel as well, correct? If it has been less than 1 year you could RMA.

I had this problem as well and still encountering it sometimes. Don't worry about a missed call though. My vibration completely stopped working and a reboot didn't help, however a call made the vibration work again lol and it has been working since. Fingers crossed same **** doesn't happen again.
So, I pick up my device from the wireless charger, a minute later, it buzzes.
I put the device down on my desk, it buzzes every minute or so. Yet, there's NO notification that tells me something needs attention.
The constant buzzing is driving me nuts. If I have the sound on like I do at home, it's accompanied by the default sound every time a buzz happens.
Anyone know what's going on? And, can I stop it?
No, turning off the device and putting it on my pocket isn't an option because I need to be using the device.
It sounds like a replacement :-/

I don't think there's anything wrong with the device, I think it's got an issue with something running that is making it buzz so often but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is that's running.
***FIGURED IT OUT*** It was the software update that I paused. Seems the S8+ kept buzzing to tell me that it wasn't done. It is MEANT to be annoying***
Fixed the buzzing by downloading the rest of the update and not applying it.
