So at random times my phone will just vibrate... Non stop, until I hit the back button or home button. Just wondering what may be causing this problem. I'm running Calkulins one XL rom

Undervolting
Sent from my HTC One XL
I've had the vol down button stuck on before which caused my phone to vibrate non stop so I suppose you could try pressing it a few times to see. Happened to my Desire HD after it went for a little swim in a gutter.
If you've taken care of your phone.. as in no dropping it, throwing, doing stupid things with it. It's because of your custom kernel. You've undervolted it. That's your phones way of telling you, "Hey, I don't like this undervolting thing. Put me back to stock."
Does this vibration only happen when you press the back button?

xD lmao and undervolting... I doubt it would do that because it would do it when I got it from skizzmcnizz.... Actually it did it the day before I went and bought my micro SIM card from AT&T. I have never EVER dropped my phone. Its like my baby lol

Does it only do it with the back button? And only in the xda app?

I got random vibrations from stock.....maybe once a month or so. Continuous until input given.
Felt like a bug / glitch in an app / notification bus or something.
Have to read up on this undervoltage thingy.

Okay so I'm not going crazy haha it did it when I was on ice cream sandwich and did it when I'm on jelly bean. Thank you, I think it may be a glitch also... It only happens when I do extreme excessive multitasking... Going from facebook, texting, gmail, internet games.. ect...

It happens when you press the back button, not because you're multitasking. 2 people asked if you noticed that but you ignored it. This is a well known bug. Many people experience it in the xda app. As said above the phone will continue to vibrate until another button is pressed.

It would only apply if you are running a custom kernel with undervolting active.

Hey guys. This phone has been great, but now I've just started noticing this problem. The vibrate is getting progressively weaker. You can even "hear"/notice it when, let's say, the phone is ringing, the vibrate will sort of "level" down.
I downloaded an app to test vibration, and it seems to be random and getting weaker. Also, when the phone rings, sometimes, while vibrating it will "hiccup".
What is causing this? Battery? My phone is perfect except this. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock and have to return the phone.
What rom. And kernel are you using? I thought I was having the same problem but it was because I was undervolting

Absolutely no undervolting here; I can tell you that with 100% certainty. I'm using CM7 with default kernel.
At one point I DID mess with the LordMod kernel and install a UV script, but after that I didn't like it (it wasn't smooth as CM7 kernel default), so I did a nandroid restore to an earlier point when I wasn't using it, so I assume the entire system including kernel included was restored.
Yeah your kernel was restored too. Hold the volume down button for 3 seconds. How weak does it feel?

It vibrates, albeit weakly, and vibrates sort of "rough". It even skips while vibrating. Sounds like it's missing (sort of like when a car engine misfires) .
how do you take vibrate off in all settings I thought I did but when I answer the phone it will vibrate and when I use the calculator
Maybe it needs a tune-up?

It's getting more ridiculous. It sputters like a car that has bad spark plugs (analogy).
I contacted AT&T and they are shipping me a replacement. I will report when I get it.
I had a similar problem with my Atrix except it was the keyboard and haptic feedback that was completely giving out. I hope my Inspire doesn't start acting up, I got it off Craigslist not at&t
Sounds like hardware. I.e , the the little motor that spins the little off-center weight that results in the vibration might be going bad :-(. Hope I'm wrong.

First time ive heard about this kind of problem, sounds like your hardware is getting down. Better get it checked if you still have its warranty.

Update: got the replacement. The replacement works perfectly. It is definitely a hardware issue.
So anyone in the future who has this issue, get your phone replaced!!!
Mine has been seeming to get louder, sometimes when typing its almost overwhelmingly loud.

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone
Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect.

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.
I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!
If you have not noticed the one x is not really multi tasking. My GN does multi tasking different.
When I switch to an app on the GN, it freezes that state of that app and when I switch back to it, it's where I left off.
On the one x, it refreshes the app, not freeze it.
Is this something that can hacked to get it to work like the GN?
^This. O/S is randomly killing apps. I've frozen every possible culprit, switched launchers, etc. Keeps happening. I think it's HTC's battery paranoia and they've done something in the Kernel.

Yea I think a lot of us noticed this.
My biggest issue is the message app. When I go into, all of the messages display the numbers and not the name. It'll take a good 2-3 seconds before it refreshes and replace the numbers with names. This bothers me the most!
I've noticed it as well. It's really frustrating when you're listening to a podcast and Pocket Casts just dies. It's probably something in memory management. There's a tool floating around somewhere that lets you tinker with these values, I'll have to find it.
hmm i was wondering about this too. i thought ics was supposed to have really great multitasking but my ipad does multitasking way better in this case (resuming a game exactly where you were instead of just restarting it like it does now... really it's the same as just going and launching the app again...) come to think about it, its basically the same as the old hold down home and see the recently launched apps in gingerbread. would love to see it really resume apps that were closed...

I've looked around here and haven't seen an issue similar to what's going on with mine.
It's happened a few times now, where the phone just randomly starts to vibrate, for ~5 seconds. No notifications, not even touching the phone. It just randomly vibrates. My last One X I swapped out on Friday due to some sound issues, that one never did this strange vibrate. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time it's done this in just as many days.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Thanks.

If your under 30 days, on 2.20 locked i would make them exchange for older firmware device or your going to return it and go elsewhere to get one with the less buggy 1.85 firmware. If u want to unlock, why wouldnt you.

Hi Guys,
Have been following XDA for years since been with android and have been flashing my phones and others since. This problem i have not occured before and have only been experiencing since my last 2 flashes.
My day to day usage;
Listen to music 10 hours everyday, maybe more with headphones even while working.
Battery will last a good 20+hours maybe more
Play games and such and maybe make a few calls or sms thru out day.
every now and then when i unlock to maybe change song both touch screen and touch buttons will not repsond. I turned off and on swipe to unlock and still receive this bug every now and then. Not often but its a pain because it requires a hard reset.
Currently using Jelly bam with rohan kernal v6. I moved from m1KingKang. Both flashes have been fresh. including system wipe. these 2 are the only roms ive had this happen.
i have looked at other threads for other phones and they all say there is a problem, somthing wrong with the phone. I have had other roms where this does not happen.
My clock speed is set as min 500mhz and max 1700mhz
