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.

Hi guys,
I read about the keyboard isssues the transformer had. Like battery issues, trackpad issues, etc. For some of these issues it has to be send to Asus.
Recently I got one from a mate in the US, and I'm in China, so assume I cannot be helped in China (seriously, its next to impossible to get after market help in China).
So, are there firmware updates that resolve these issues before they become apparent, or do I really need to send it to asus for modification? Or have Asus addressed some of these issues already in the docks? If so, from what S/N onwards is this the case?
the one real issue is the dock prevents the tablet from going into deep sleep. so if you don't have battery issues with the dock, you don't need to modification. this "fix" however requires that you send the dock to asus.
i don't know what other issues you're talking about (you might want to be more specific)...but the only other consistent complaint with the keyboard is the lag when using in stock browser. this is a software issue, and not one with the dock.

ok, thx. So deep sleep, is this doen automatically? is that the problem, or is it also present when I short-click the power button to switch off the display?
For teh other issues, yes, i think it was related to lag, an inresponsiveness. but if this is in-browser, an dnot a dock issue, then I'm not concerned.
i'm a bit confused what your question is.
if you're asking about how deep sleep works, then yes, the idea behind it is your TF will automatically go into it after a period of non-interaction, or if you press the power button.
unless of course you have an older dock...which prevents that from happening.
if you're asking if the fix is done automatically, no. you have to send the dock to asus because the fix is a hardware installation.

ok, that answers my question. I always use the power button to switch teh screen off.
I have a problem with my dock : after putting the tablet into sleep with the power button while docked, I close the netbook. As soon as it is closed the screen lightens on (so it's no more sleeping and will undoubtly suck up on battery).
I think I already read a post about someone having the same problem, but I can't find it.
Just noticed it. No idea why. I turned the tablet off/on a couple of times but that didn't do anything. Any ideas?
The motor might be dead. Have you tried toggling it under sound?
The 700 I got from Best Buy, a C7, haptic was dead out of the box. Had to take it back.
Factory reset didn't fix it either. I'm hesitant to exchange it because I don't have any of the other issues people are complaining about with this one but might with another. What a pain in the ass.
Does it vibrate when you power on or off? It should at least do that, if it does, its working. If you don't feel anything its toast.
Makes me mad too cause the one I had, everything was great except haptic. I didn't want to wait for another one so just took the refund

Yeah, it vibrates when turning on/off. The tablet has been set to 'vibrate on touch' since day 1. Mysteriously that doesn't seem to work anymore.
after seeing this thread i just checked mine out. The haptic feedback is really really weak. I cant really feel it unless i am paying really close attention. On my prime it is noticeable, for sure.
I powered down and back up as suggested and got the standard 1/2 second buzz associated with those actions.
Maybe something in the update neutered the feedback? Is anyone's really pronounced?

Mine was totally fine, pre and post update, until I think late yesterday? The only thing I can think of, and I really hope this has ZERO to do with my issue, is that I had left my stylus laying across the screen for a short period of time. I think while it was resting on the screen it was registering touches repeatedly and maybe this screwed up the feedback mechanism? I know it was registering because the webpage that was showing was zooming in and out frenetically until I picked the stylus back up.

IMO this tablet is considerably more hefty than the prime. I think its because of the form factor that doesn't transit vibrations as well.

I'm just going to live with the broken haptic feedback. None in stock locally to make an exchange, and I really don't want to go thru the rigamarole of shipping it back, waiting who knows how long for a replacement, and then possibly getting one with other issues.
I got no haptic feedback at all since I got the Infinity. There's no screen locking sound either. I guess there should be one anyway?! The settings for these aren't affecting to anything at all.

i messed with mine all day. i am on the fence about sending it back (though prob not). it transmits a decent amount of feedback every 2-3 times, then 1-2 time where it is barely noticeable. I did the same set of testing with the prime...it too has a weak signal every 2nd or 3rd time, but it is still stronger than "regular" on my infinity.
I am going to see what others say, but i might have to agree with you on the transmission of vibration. If i hold it up to my ear, its definitely trying to do something...just not communicating it well.
Where is this "vibrate on touch" option? I can't find it anywhere. Are you talking about "Vibrate on keypress" for the Android keyboard? As long as you get buzz during the turning off and on, you at least have it functional.

settings/sound/system - vibrate on touch.
its more for say a long press when adding a widget or icon...etc

Hmmm. I don't get any feedback from that. Messed with some widgets and icons - nothing. Maybe its one of those things that didn't get checked by QC?
Ooookk...after reading this thread went to check my. Also no haptic feedback even if I check it from the settings...this is strange.
I never noticed haptic feedback.
After reading this thread I checked all the settings and I didn't get anything.
Except the one when you switch it off....
I'm using swiftkey.
So I checked the settings there.
It was activated but no haptic feedback.
But in swiftkey you can change the duration as well.
I set it to 60 and now I get haptic feedback.
So the hardware seems to be OK in my case.
I was getting decent haptic feedback when typing, backspacing, hitting the home key, arrow key, home screen, whatever, before it stopped working. I also tested out swiftkey from the app store and was able to turn up the haptic feedback setting when typing, but still nothing from screen touches etc. This has to be a hardware issue, right? Then again, why would this function work, then stop working, but then sort of work (at least on the keyboard side) when using another app?
I made an assumption that this problem manifested when I left my stylus on the screen causing the screen to bug out as if it were be touched rapidly and repeatedly. Because store exchanges are impossible at this time and I'm ~1.5 weeks from my 30 day return window I decided to order another one, and then set up an RMA for this one to go back and be credited; assuming that my replacement doesn't have any other issues. I couldn't justify letting this go considering the cost of this thing and the fact I've only had it a couple of weeks.
How about the screen locking sound? Should there be one?
Actually there is a very very faint audio feedback for touch that I'm able to hear with headphones in a totally quiet place. It disappears when unchecking the setting.

If you change the duration of the regular Android Keyboard under its "Advanced Settings" you can get the vibrate on keypress to work. The duration is initially set too short for the vibrate mechanism to fully buzz. I changed it from 1 ms to 100 ms and I get definite (but not powerful) jiggle.

I can get a faint locking sound. Can't hear anything for interactions outside of typing though.

I just checked all of the boxes under the sound feedbacks. I can get some haptic from the back and home buttons but still nothing for widgets and such. Can't really notice any sounds from those though. Perhaps an update lowered the values for the feedback and that's why your initial problem happened? Dunno.

The problem didn't start happening until 2 days ago. The update has nothing to do with it. The last fix I tried to do was a 'cold boot'. I can't get that to work and yes, I followed the instructions posted on another forum and in YouTube videos. I hold down power and volume simultaneousy for up to a minute and nothing happens, other than locking it up and I have to stick a paper clip to reset it.
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.
I'm running CROMI-X 4.4.1 Whenever the screen is off the tab constantly beeps every 2 seconds. It charges fine enough and the beeping stops as soon as the screen is turned on. Is anyone else having this problem? Could it be a problem with the charging port or cord? I couldn't find anything in settings to turn this off. It's making it really hard to sleep at night when I normally charge it.

Something like that?
Just mute it. The toggle is the speaker icon in the notification panel's Quick Settings.

Thanks. I was hoping there was a way to keep it so I'd still have my normal sound notifications on and stop the beeping/chiming. Oh well.

I've heard this comes from using cheap/third party chargers. Never had the problem myself so I can't confirm.
Yes I can confirm that some non Asus chargers don't supply quite the correct voltage. I have a cheap ebay one that beeps. My normal Asus charger charges fine.
