Vibrate no longer works (settings all on!) - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So after flashing a few roms and restored a few nandroids, my vibrate seems completely borked. For all my roms the vibrate doesn't work at all, for notifications, calls, texts, etc. And I know the first thing is to check the messaging and system settings and I have. They are all on. I also wiped system and factory reset and wiped all caches to no prevail. Restored an older nandroid where I knew the vibrate worked and it no longer works. I'm using TWRP to do all my flashing if that has anything to do with it. Any suggestions guys? I rely a lot on the vibrate when I'm out and about. Thanks for any help

I even tried flashing a new rom from scratch. Same thing. No vibrate at all.

I'm almost positive its a hardware issue. I was having the same exact problem until I dropped it on accident and it started vibrating again. I guess I just got lucky. Sounds like your gonna have to completely restore it and bring it back to at&t

I've had this problem before. It was definitely a hardware issue, even after flashing, and restoring many times.
Finally just broke down and took it in. They replaced no questions asked... makes me wonder if its a known issue...?
Just take it in if you can. Even if it's unlocked. No one cared.

Only problem is that I bought it off Craigslist a while ago. The vibrate worked then and I have the receipt they received but if asked to show ID it would not match lol. Idk if they will help me out if I didn't buy it there

Do they care at all that I bought it there or not? Either way I have the receipt and I can always bring it back to stock to give it a whirl.

[Q] Freezes up

my phone freezes up multiple times a day and i have to take out the battery in order to get it to work. Does anyone else have this problem?
What are you running
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have not experienced that. A bit of information might help others to possibly help you, though. Can you tell us what ROM you're using, if the problem started recently, if it started after you installed a certain app, if you're over clocking or under clocking, and if you've tried to do a factory data reset?
Im running stock. The last time i tried to install a rom i ended up with the picture in the attachment. So i took it to the local T-Mobile kiosk and they replaced it for me. i re-rooted it but didnt rom it at all. And its been like this since i got the replacement phone. never had the problem before. (this was a week ago)
Pretty picture. Kidding, of course. Reminds me of messing with interlaced graphics on my old Amiga.
If it's been doing it since you got it chances are it's probably a hardware issue. I've not heard of rooting causing issues like that. Did you install any apps after you got it, specifically anything that runs/syncs in the background?
Nothing i didnt have on before. umm.. Go SMS and Launcher, Widget Locker...
I'd go the factory data reset route & not install any apps for a day or so and see how it runs. If all is OK, start reinstalling your apps 1 x 1, give each app a day to see if the problem starts up.
If you do a factory data reset and it's still doing it, then it's probably faulty hardware.
Yeah try a factory reset and see how that does. The rainbow screen looks like a gingerbread rom without the correct bootloaders.

So that's the mysterious rainbow screen I keep reading about. Thanks, because I had no idea what it looked like (thank goodness). The bottom part reminds me of Poltergeist "Don't go into the light..."
Is this new phone they gave you refurbished?
I used to have that problem all the time when i was stock... New ROM and it went bye bye...
Hah that picture you got there reminds me of when i stupidly flashed a gb kernel on froyo... still fixed it and matter of factly I'm using the same device right now were all newbs at some point, don't let it discourage you, just take it as a lesson learned and be more careful next time

[Q] Text Messaging problems

I'm having a problem sending text messages. wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I can receive fine. I can send on WiFi or 2g, not "4g". Curious Picture messages send fine on all networks.
I have used several ROMs along the way. I have a good list of nandroid backups from various back to stock. Restoring any and all exhibits the same.
Tech support thinks it may be a service issue in my area. My son has a myTouch 4g and has no problems texting.
Anyone have an idea?
Is this with the stock messaging app?

Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold volume up + power til your phone reboots. It doesn't delete anything but it. It fixes connection issues for me most of the time.
Good thought. Tried and no go. Interestingly I turned data off and, text messages send. Went to the t-mo store. They guy there took a look at it. He pulled my SIM and put it in their demo unit. My SIM works on their phone. He says "I can get you a replacement but I need to do a factory reset" Sure go ahead. I could tells this guys was a by the numbers guy. I told him sure, then I remembered I'm running Weapons the "weapons" splash and I figured, I'm done. No, he didn't notice. New phone on the way. So I guess I need to revert to stock unrooted when I get the new one.

Lol glad it worked out. Still have to wonder why they won't send ...
It is bothering me. I think I've reformatted everything from within recovery. Flashed a fresh version of Weapons, restored from a very old nandroid, rooted 2.2.2
Just another thing to make me nuts.
I have this issue now as well only on 4g... I went to another rom and all was well the problem came back I haven't downloading anything out of the ordinary so I haven't the slightest clue on why this is happening... gonna revert back to stock if the problem persist.

My Problems began Saturday night, I believe after I flashed back from jboxer's Experimental http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330911

I also tried the experimental, not sure why it would cause these issues after a full/complete wipe and restore of rom's that I've had no issues with at all when it comes to receiving/sending sms/mms.
did you revert back to a OTA stock, and stock recovery, no root at all? That is my last option which will be tonight probably...
I found a nandroid OTA and restored that. That was stock, unrooted. Then I flashed back the stock recovery.
I flashed several roms prior with no luck. Like I mentioned, perhaps the lg updater would fix what is missing?

I can confirm the same thing happening to me on Weapon and stock GB. Messages will send fine on EDGE and wifi perfectly, but it's hit and miss on 4G.

Skyrocket screen staying completely black?

Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.
This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.
if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone
This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this

Unheard of problem?

my phone has started doing something crazy today, whenever i talk on it, the radio drops after a minute, and dont come back untill i turn airplane mode off and on or reboot. it only happens if i talk on it. i have changed nothing, except flashing mrom yesterday, i did a full wipe and restored my cm9 backup, and it still does it, has anyone else ever had or even heard of this problem? is my phone just crapping out? i have posted this in my device forum with no answers and even talked to verizon tech, they just had me do factory reset... any help would be greatly appreciated, as i don't want to have to fork over cash for a new phone...

Incorrect screen orientation

Okay so please bare with me as I'm not to savvy on the phone tech stuff and terms...
Recently I flashed a new rom onto my s3. I believe it was hyper drive but not certain. Any ways since then my screen orientation and voice mail notifications have not been working.
First with the screen. It doesn't matter the app or what screen I'm on on my phone, when it's vertical its fine, when I turn the phone horizontal left or right the screen turns upside down.
I've tried to change setting, loaded different rooms and it doesn't change. I haven't dug into the system files cause I don't know what to change or even look for honestly.
Also since the original hyper drive flash my vm do not come through to notify me. Same situation...loaded new roms with no affect.
Can anyone help?

Not sure about MMS but screen orientation inversion is normally kernel related. If flashing different roms the kernel that comes with it should fix orientation. If flashing a 3rd party kernel you are using wrong kernel for carrier. A complete wipe and reflash should fix mms. If dirty flashing (ie wiping only dalvic and cache) files may be sticking between roms not allowing a fix of mms.
When I have installed roms I've always factory wiped at least 3 times then dumped cache and dalvik each time.
But an incorrect kernel...would that hold true for each rom though? I've installed at least 3 different roms since with different kernels and no change.
