Hi,
as the title already says, my phone vibrates during calls. It happens about 1 time per minute (but doesnt seem to be a minute counter!) and i've got no Idea, why this keeps happening!
Do you have the same effect (vibrating) as i do?
What is this "feature" about?
How can i stop it from happening?
Thank you,
Linkin
till now I found three vibration settings used for different apps / situations etc, for example message notification vibration, soft key feedback etc-
To turn off Notification vibrate: Messaging > Menu key > Settings > Untick Notification vibration
To turn off Ringtone vibrate: Settings > Sound > Vibrate > Never
To turn off the vibrating when tapping the screen: Settings > Sound > Untick Haptic Feedback
Thanks.
I found these three settings too but none of them explains why it vibrates during calls... Only explanations I could think of is that I touch the screen by mistake...
Does anyone have similar behavior of his phone and can contribute to this?

if the proximity sensor working the screen should turn off when your face is near, therefore no accident touching the screen. could it be the other buttons being touched by accident? the volume buttons, camera, home, back, and menu buttons...
Its definitely not the camera or volume button but I kepp it under surveillance... Maybe i'm touching the back or menu key by accident...
Thanks for the answers!

Bzzz
hehe I've tried something a little more funky: I had a call a few days ago, and the vibrator started buzzing as soon as i drew the phone close to my face and the closer the harder it buzzed
I had to hold the phone at 2-4 centimeters to be able to hear what was being said over the vibrator
It haven't happened again, but then I've also "repaired" the phone with SEUS to see if that helped with receiving calls in the first place(screen didn't respond on several calls).
I have had this happen a few times too, no idea what it is though?! lol
It keeps happening sometimes, but not as much as before... I guess it was related to touching the softkeys!
I changed haptic feedback to off and it doesnt viabrate at all now

Mhm but this indicates touching the Display and NOT thouching the soft keys, right?

Haptic feedback includes the capacitive buttons.

Does anyone have an idea how to get the GS2 to wake up (switch the screen on) a bit quicker when wanting to hang up?
It still take ages (latest f/w), and I find the call is already terminated by the time the screen wakes to allow me to press the red button.
It's great that this thing takes 1080p videos, has a wonderful screen etc etc, but it's a phone ffs.
I am having this issue as well and would like to know any suggestions to fix the issue.

Hi you can choose either of the following options;
Turn off Proximity sensor
Settings > Call > Turn off Proximity sensor
Configure Power button to end call
Settings > Call > Call answering/ending > The power key ends calls
I am using Power button to end call.. It helps to end call just by pressing power button instead of waiting for the screen to wake up..
Hope it helps...
Ah, nice one. Should have found that really, shouldn't I.
Thanks for that - will use the power button thing.
Same problem here. using Power button to end call works fine .
Problem is, I hung up on my mum last night trying to wake the phone.
So I just bought this Photon, and it will not vibrate. My settings are as follows: settings --> sound --> vibrate always is checked // text messages --> messaging settings --> also vibrate when notified is checked
I have tried two factory resets, one through UI, one through fast boot. I just did the OCR and tried it that way.. no luck. The phone does not vibrate on messages, haptic feedback, restarts, or phone calls.
Vibrate was, unfortunately, not top on my list of things to check before purchasing the damn thing. Now, I've got it, and I'd really love some help and direction. Thanks in advance
:beer:
are you able to volume down andset the phone to vibrate?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yes, and it shows vibration mode, but no actual vibration... as I was playing around with it today, I noticed that there's something loose inside the casing of the phone that is moving around when I shake it. I'm beginning to think that this is a hardware issue...
Does it give you feedback when you type? If not, I would say its a hardware issue and you should take it back.

Probably you have a case or somehow are pressing the volume all the way down.
Remember either lowering the volume or power button plus silent mode are the quick shortcuts to enable Vibration mode.
Also when a call is received and the phone is upside down can make the ringing on mute.

In my case Timeriffic was automatically reinstalled from Google Play. the default setting was to set the phone to vibrate at 8PM Mon - Thu. All sorted now.

i had the same problem, you can activate or deactivate this option under settings/sound/automatic feedback
Hmm,
Can't seem to find that seting on my phone, so will have to hope that it was because of Timeriffic.

I know this is an old thread, but all of a sudden my phone seems to randomly switch sound on throughout the day, after i put it on vibrate. I wonder if there's a way to enable vibrate only via the notification bar, rather than the volume keys.
In my opinion the volume keys should only control the current volume, rather than the sound "profile" (mute, sound, vibrate).
Anyway i will be doing some looking into why this seems to happen.
1) you have a case which is pressing the Volume button down
2) Try turning off AUTO HAPTIC FEEDBACK
3) try resetting your phone if all else fails

i have same weird vibrating problems also. I normally set my phone to sound mode no vibrate. whenever someone text me it automatically change the mode to sound+vibrate I've been trying anything but to no avail this still persists.
and BTW I'm using GO SMS.
Even i have been facing this problem with various ROMs..what could be the issue? any help?
S3 auto turns to Vibrate mode
Hi,
For last 2 weeks, i am facing a same problem. randomly few times in a day, message default ring tone rang without any message and after a while (may be after few seconds) it turns to Vibrate.
the only thing new happened to my phone is, its board died all of a sudden (bgr[dot]com/2012/12/21/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-hardware-failure-262887/) and the Samsung service center has replaced it with new board. since then i am facing this problem.
I was using the Nova launcher before the repair, and now after the repair using the same Nova launcher.
Any idea? anyone else facing the same issue? btw, i have turned off the haptic feedback as well, restart the phone also, but issue still persists.
any feedback would be highly appreciated, thanks.

Guys, I am facing similar problem and nothing else is working. I think we should compare notes to find out what is the cause of this problem. Tell me what ROM are you running? Custom or Stock. If custom then which one? What 3rd Party apps are you running that can schedule tasks e.g Tasker, Scheduler etc. Have you turned off Haptic feedback and motion under your phone settings?
My Answers:
Custom ROM Yes
Ripper ROM (Love it and big fan)
Haptic Feedback Off
Motion Feature Disabled
3rd Party Apps Yes
Tasker Yes
Scheduler No
Call recording Yes
I have sam problem with NOTE 2.
Every last incoming call set my "default" sound profil .Depend what I have set ( sound, vibration, mute....) at the incoming call moment.
I found out that AVG antivirus is a problem???? I delete AVG and for now ( two days ) all is OK.
Maybe its the auto mute
There is a feature under motion that puts the phone in vibrate/silent when you "turn it down", maybe that is what is causing you problems? My phone was muting itself with no logical reason and deactivating it did the trick, hope it works for you
Often when I'm on a call and the screen turns off and I try to wake the screen up with the power or home key to hang up the phone is unresponsive. I sometimes have to pull the battery to get it to come back on. Most of the time once the person I am talking hangs up the screens wakes up.
I've tried to set it so the screen stays on during calls but that doesn't work. The screen still shuts off.
I've had this problem with 3 different roms.
I've tried every setting available and still have problems.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks in advance.

It's supposed to happen. You press power again to wake the phone up to show the display

I hit the power button and it still doesnt come on.
Not sure this is the problem, but if you go to "Settings > My device > Call > Turn off screen during calls" you could try UN-checking the box so that the screen stays on during a call (although your face might bump into the screen and push buttons at times). If that works in terms of being able to see everything and get back to your home screen after a call, something else is going on (maybe another app doing something it shouldn't be).
If you turn it on, during call, if proximity sensor pick up and Off the screen, at this moment, if you tap the screen, the call will drop.
Anyone, good in using Tasker app can help to offer a solution?

I've never had this problem. Maybe you need to modify how you hold the device during a call?
I do have a problem with pocket accessing sometimes, where the screen will turn on and skip my music tracks, pause and rewind hahah.
...and your device will explode..
Nonsense...
I'm using Z2 from May and this is the first time I even heard something like this..

I can confirm this, i had to disable tap-to-wake to ensure i dont end calls. It seems like a typpical case of YMMV though. I know for a fact that it caused my cheek to end calls.

It will only drop the call if you checked the "Power button end calls" setting in Accessibility.
Double tapping on the screen while is off acts like pressing the power button.
I had my brainstorm session because of that Sony bug
Hi Vangogu, you are right, thanks, now I can use the tap to wake function.
But I still think it is a software bug. Sony should prevent the power button off during call and with proximity sensor activated.
