My Moto G 1 st gen has problem with its vibrator as vibration sometimes work, sometimes not. I went to some local repair shop and they said that vibrator is fried and that it can't be fixed and that is to close to the camera so it can't be removed from the motherboard. I would like to fix it and I think it is possible as it is still working but more often it doesn't work. Any recommendations?
Even I too faced this issue
Vibrator some times works some times won't
Are you using flipcover just incase...
If ur device under warranty give it for rma
Edit : use vibration app from play store when vibrator doesn't work give a slight tap on right top corner vibrator works again I did this few times when vibration didn't work
Now vibration works... so far no issues
Though I cannot confirm both of our case are same issue
Could you give the link for the app as there are multiple vibration apps? Also, do somebody have an image of opened moto g to show where the part for vibration is?

Problem was solved by replacing vibration motor.
Hello v3nom1. Did you replace the vibrating motor yourself, or where was the repair done? I have the same problem. I have the phone (dual SIM version) 8 months and the vibration stopped working two days ago for no apparent reason. I opened the phone to check the motor - like the picture above - but the motor looked fine.
If you replaced the motor yourself, how did you do it?
Thanks for your advice.

Hello guys! This is something that took me a certain time so I'd like to share it to make it worth...
I was having some problems with my new Nexus 5 (D821):
- Screen never turned off during calls;
- Touch screen active during calls.
So the phone was hotter than it should be during the calls and after the calls I always discovered my ear had activated a lot of things on the touch…
Then, I was questioning myself if this would be a problem cause by software or hardware. As a microcontroller addicted, I know how trick it is to distinguish between a firmware and a hardware problem... and started to investigate the problem with a few steps:
1) Used some apps to grab the proximity sensor value (like this play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.macromax.vdo.sensors)
- The value was stuck in 5.00000cm;
2) Tried different ROMs and kernels with the same result;
3) Downloaded the Nexus 5 Service Manual;
4) Downloaded the sensor (Avago APDS-9930) datasheet.
So based on the new information, I have made a little experiment to make sure the problem was the hardware:
I started the app to monitor the sensor and used my TV remote control to emit the IR pulses, as I assumed the sensor had a problem with the IR emitter. Than the app started to show some measurements… confirming the sensor was the problem (more specifically the emitter).
So, I disassembled the phone getting access to the sensor and this is what I got:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The sensor was carbonized!!! There is no IR emitter anymore!!!
This is the shot from the original sensor:
It seems like the assembly production process of the phone has reached a too high temperature or has caused a mechanical damage!
Moreover, this is the biggest problem; my phone would not be the only one to have been damaged!
Hope this can help saving someone else time…:laugh:
Hi,
I experiencing problems with my gps, as it seems to not be working. Don't think it has ever actually has been working, that all my positions where retrieved trough network.
Tried the following:
- upgraded to latest OS(4.4.3),
- updated all my apps
- tested in safe mode
- reset to factory defaults.
And it still doesn't retrieve any position, which makes me concerned it is hardware related. Attached a screenshot from my gps app and version of my nexus 5 Location is set to: High Acuracy
Anyone have any tips??

I had a similar issue with my Nexus 5. No amount of rebooting/reinstalling was helping, until I realised one corner of my phone was pried open, probably when I dropped it the day before. I pushed it back in, and all of a sugged GPS is back to normal.
So I'm afraid your problem sounds like a hardware issue. Did you drop it recently?

Hi. My experience with the OnePlus service was not so good. When I got the phone I had a black spot on the back camera. Contacted the warranty support with no success. They replied after more than a month!!! (after I already disassembled the phone) suggesting to restore the CM11S... Anyways. The black spot is gone now. I don't know what I did, it just disappeared (not right after I disassembled it).
The problem is that my proximity sensor stopped working. I think I touched something when took off the back panel. Tried different programs and It showed that the phone doesn't have a proximity sensor. Today I took off the back panel again and it reappeared but it is not responding. Maybe I need to calibrate it?
The light sensor also stopped working as you see from the SS.
I tried this 2 apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.ProxSensorCalibrator&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrognaas.proximityfix
The first one starts and the screen goes blank. The second does nothing at all. It says that SuperSu granted root acces or something like that but it doesn't show anything.
I am attaching some screens of sensor testing apps. Maybe someone had the same problem and managed to fix it. Thanks
I am on CM12-20141229-UNOFFICIAL-bacon by the way
And yes, I tried restoring to the official cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot, I had the same problem..

Somebody, please respond!!!
I'm having this exact problem and I downloaded those same two apps, with no success...

My OnePlus One lost the red color on screen. The red became to brown!

What should I do to get back the red color?
Hello, I'm having issues with my Moto G 2015, the screen registers input when I'm not touching it, I switched on developer mode and set it to shot touches, and this was the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It does this seemingly at random, and it almost makes it entirely unusable. I've tried wiping the cache and factory resetting the device, and it still has issues. I've also tried cleaning the charging port with a can of air, and cleaning the screen. I'm not using a screen protector.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Apologies for the size of the screenshot.

Did you look through some of the threads here, there are several threads similar to yours? Basically, many of us have the ghost touch issue... This has been on ongoing problem for many people since the device was released, and it seems to get worse and worse with each subsequent OS update (it is rumored that this is why the 6.0.1 roll-out seems to have stopped). There is no known "fix" unfortunately, although if you have a tempered glass screen protector, many users have reported improvements after removing it.
Wow I thought this happened only with me, I called it overdrive mode, happens more often when battery low, It once took 44 pics in like 5 seconds!

Hi people, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8000), and since a few years ago is stored because from one day to another stopped working, when you turn on normally the screen is something like interference, has no movement, there is no sound of the system, just stays like that and occasionally restarts, but if Odin mode works "normally", I tried to flash the system in several ways and following various tutorials but nothing has worked yet. At some point it was taken to a "technician" to be checked, but the answer he gave was that the whole motherboard had to be replaced.
Does anyone know if this has a solution?

The eMMC needs to be replaced, I'm doing this as a professional, don't know if theres a store which can do this in your country.
Open the tab and see if the flex cable from the screen is still properly seated in the connector. If not, open the lock and reinsert the flex cable from the screen correctly and close the lock again.

You can see, that the download mode looks normal.
It's the typical picture, if theres no data readable from the param partition,
mostly defective eMMC.
