Vibration problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok.. I have a "little" problem.. I had my Nexus 5 for 2 weeks, and today it stopped vibrating.. I tried reflashing google images, switching roms, nothing worked.. Also the vibration testers wouldn`t work too.. Do I need to go to RMA ? I`m dissapointed.. Now 2nd question.. How can I clear that counter so that I can still have my RMA valid

Soft Reset every 5 minutes and other problems with my Orbit 2

Hey..
I´m new in here and I hope you can help me..
I have a new HTC Polaris since 2 weeks..
Its from O² so its the XDA Orbit 2..
I have many problems with it.
1. Every 5 Minutes it proceed a Soft Reset. I have tried many Roms but its the same at all of them.
2. My Microfon is so low that when I call somebody he can´t understand me.. He don´t hear anything. Only if I talk closely to the Microfon he can hear me a little bit.
3. The internal Speaker doesn´t work. So if somebody call me he don´t hear me and I don´t hear him.
PLS Help me..
At the moment I test the WM 6.1 Beta from bepe
Thanks a lot!!
flash the original O2 ROM on the phone and send it back for a replacement.
Do you think thats the only way?
I thought I can do something else except of this..
Thank you for your answer...
Some other ideas??
no, i don't think that will fix it. i can't tell from your post if you flashed a custom ROM and then had problems or if you had problems and then flashed a custom ROM. soft resets every 5 minutes is not normal. if i had the same problem before i flashed a custom ROM, i would have returned it by now. the phone is too new to be spending weeks trying to resolve issues.

Vibration not working

My SGR has stopped vibrating, regardless of the setting. I noticed it about an hour ago.
I can confirm that it was working about 12 hours ago.
I am running InfectedROM V1 on ardatdat's keenal v1.5
Anybody got any ideas what is wrong?

I can't understand what could have caused this, did you bump /drop you handset anywhere recently ? If yes then it can be some hardware issue.
Check your recently installed apps, they maybe interfering with the vibrator settings though that's a remote possibility but do check.
If its a software bug then flashing the ROM/kernel again should solve the problem. But keep this as the last option if it seems there's no other way out.
It started working. On its own.
I had it in my pocket, got a text and it vibrated.
Funny issue. I can't understand what happened. But I am glad I don't have to take it in for servicing.

That's good !
I think it must be a software bug which caused it then.
It was solved as you may have restarted your handset but still do observe if it stops vibrating intermittently.
Actually I did a soft reset when I noticed it, that did not fix it.
I tried changing the vibration settings randomly and all but nothing worked.
I have got no idea what happened. But I have been checking the vibration every hour or so and it hasn't stopped working after that.
It has stopped vibrating again.
This is so irritating. I miss calls and texts because of this.

Darn !
That's why I told you to monitor it. Now I think it could be a software issue. If it was a hardware one then it shouldn't have started working again.
Check if a restart solves the issue. Do remove the battery for a few secs before switching it on again.
If it works its a software bug.
Did you check the installed apps if they are interfering with the settings ?
Do check the settings for Vibration intensity if they are at default.
Check and reply here buddy though I think you'll need to take it to the service center if even flashing stock ROM doesn't solve the issue.
I finally found out the problem and the solution. Was googling about it and a guy with SGS2 had posted on some forums that his vibration stops working after removing headphones. He also gave a solution to change the vibration settings to 'never' and back.
I tried that but it didn't work.
Then I tried replugging my earphones and the vibration immediately started working.
I don't understand what could be causing this issue but atleast I got a fix now.
Seems software related as you said. Maybe it is fault with either the customROM or the custom kernel. Would be pretty weird to have bugs like this in stock.

There are no such bugs on Samsung stock ROM.
You'll need to request #ardatdat & #eaglerazor12 to look into the issue and they will definitely help you.
It has stopped wirking, yet again and no matter what, I can't revive it.
I have even flashed everything stock except for the recovery. [Is there anyway to go back to stock recovery?]

I reflashed my nandroid backup through CWM to get stock back. Should I flash it again through Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA App
actually no, but if you have your fw u may take recovery from the package and push it to another tar file (use total commander) and then just flash it via odin.

This fixes the problem.
I feel really angry at Samsung for making the SGR with the same fault that SGS2 had. Why not fix it if the already had complaints about it in the previous phone?
Atleast I don't have to take it to the service center now.

Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.
I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.
I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.
Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.
And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:
The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:

Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!
Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.
I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.
If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.
I got only one phone. . And i cant use it.

I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.
Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.
Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.

Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)
I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.

Same problem for everyone...
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
It is a Hardware issue.
I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best...
BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?

And the problem is back. Not entirely though.
After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.
After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.
Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.

A question I want to ask, do the ppl who got this problem use a back cover?

by back cover you mean protective case? if so, yes i do!
and the touch panel means the digitizer right?

The 3 bottom buttons suddenly stopped working?

Hi,
I was using my phone HTC ONE S, and suddenly the 3 bottom buttons stopped working?
Iv tried a factory reset, holding all 3 for 5-10 seconds etc but nothing is happening, it lights up etc fine but no response what so ever.
anybody else have this issue?
unbelievable, after 4 factory resets and messing around, i install smart task-bar so i can actually use the phone . 20-30 mins into using it out of nowhere the soft-keys at the bottom kick bak into action, im so baffled
If I were you I would report this to HTC
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
yh ill message them about it.
Do you guys reckon its a software or hardware problem?
madness, the problem reoccured, the Buttons work flawlessly, then suddenly will cut out, it makes no sense :S.
Ill contact HTC about it but if theres an easy solution which means me not going without a phone for a week while they repair, would be great :/
Does a restart fix the problem? If not I'd imagine it being a hardware fault.
But you could try to factory reset the thing and see if that helps.
Are you on stock rom/kernel or custom? rooted? recovery? Changed hboot or anything?
haven't rooted or anything, the factory reset doesn't work either , after a while it will just return to life until the next time they decide to become unresponsive.
Iv contacted HTC, but i expect replies to be slow over the xmas period

Big Touchscreen Problem

Hey Guys, i just recieved my TF300T , but i have a problem with it...
I cant use the Touchscreen it just does what it wants. If i have opened the Onscreen Keyboard it sometimes just "presses" random letters even if my Hand isn't nearly the screen. Is there anyway to fix it ? I already reseted it but it didnt work.
I hope you can understand what i mean...Im from Germany so my English isnt that good
I have bought the same device last month and i know what you mean.
Sometimes the touchsreen keyboard woks without problems and sometimes go got the letter more than onetimes and when you delete it you delete more letters. Really strange problem.
I realize that the keyboard reacts some milimeters over the touchscreen it reacts very sensitive i do not know if this is a software or a hardware bug.
If you turn the display more times of and one it works again normal.
Have you found a solution for the problem.
I have on my device Asus TF300T with 16GB, CM 10 installed from the begining because i would like to have root an my device.
any ideas?
Is the tablet brand new and behaving this way? If so, try to get the tablet to fully update to the latest version. Once updated, do another factory reset for good measure. If you are still having these touch issues, I would contact the reseller as you might have a defective digitizer.

Ive had the tf300t for about 6 months now and mine has been doing it since day one.I even brought one back to store and got a new one and it still did it.I just turn screen off and back on and it works fine.I am rooted and have custom rom and it has done it with every rom i had on here.Ive tried reset,factory reset,and wipe everything and start over and it still does it.It doesnt happen that much so im kinda use to it now.My advice is to just turn screen off and back on.
Turning "Show touches" on in the developer options might help
