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?

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.

If your Vibrant has been acting up recently, not vibrating for SMS/Emails, or just plain not vibrating at all - I may have found a fix that doesn't require a HARD RESET.
I searched and searched the Vibrant forums as this morning, I was having a MAJOR problem as far as my vibrations not working for my SMS or GMail. I changed NOTHING - I installed NO APPS, yet for some reason this morning, i stopped getting vibrations.
Just wanted to let you guys know my phone was set up for perfect notifications, with vibration checked in EACH individual program, and overall vibration checked for notifications and ringtones. Vibrate for SMS wasn't working for silent / vibrate / or ringer mode.
I saw that this may be an unresolved issue, and found a few posts on other forums addressing the issue.
Go to Market
Download "Sound Manager"
Run it
Press menu
Vibrate settings
make sure under BOTH ringer and notification vibrate, you have "VIBRATE WHENEVER POSSIBLE" checked.
This fixed all of my vibration problems, now it's super vibratey again lol.
Hope this helps, saw a few of you had still unanswered posts regarding loss of vibration.
Thanks for the tip!
I've been screwing around with my settings all morning trying to figure out why the hell my phone vibrations were not working correctly. A search on this forum led me to this post.
Followed your instructions and problem solved. Thanks a bunch.
Is their actually a place in the stock settings where you can select vibration alerts for incoming text messages and email messages?
For SMS, go into the main Messaging screen (where it shows the seperate threads for each contact) and hit the menu key. Then go to settings. The last option is for vibration.

Ah, never looked at the menu before. Thanks!
Awesome worked for me. Thanks
There's also an app called "Quick Settings" that fixes the vibration for this phone.

The GMail app also has the vibrate option.
fixed and no need to keep the sound manager installed if not wanted
Fixed my problem here, Galaxy S Vibrant. I recall downloading sound manager a week or so ago and uninstalled the same day. Was pleased to find that reinstalling, leaving the may vibrate whenever button checked, and uninstalling the program lead to good vibrations. plz 4give me This site has been a great resource, TY all
lol i just rebooted my phone...
So i have set vibrate whenever possible checked for both options and have checked vibrate on the menu>settings and sms>menu>settings etc. But it still doesnt vibrate when i received texts or called in vibrate mode. when i adjust volume on the side, it doesnt vibrate when i turn it down to the vibrate setting. also, haptic doesnt work. could my vibrating mechanism be broken or something? or is it a software problem?
I use my phone as a vibrator.

I dont have a vibrate option in the messaging settings!

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?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
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
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Mhm but this indicates touching the Display and NOT thouching the soft keys, right?

Haptic feedback includes the capacitive buttons.

Heyy all,if this already being asked before then I couldn't find it so please point me in the right direction.
A few days ago my phone stopped vibrating when I received SMS. I thought I might of knocked it off in the setting or something but after checking to find that it was still turned on I got confused. I've done nothing to the phone which could kill the phone vibrating when I receive a SMS. The phone vibrates when my alarm goes off and every other thing but not when I receive a SMS. I've checked in the service menu as well to see if vibrate worked there and it does. So does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem as I rely on my phone vibrating to answer my texts.
Cheers
Hi, I don't know if there's an "official" way to do it, but I use AudioGuru to set all volume and vibration settings. Next to the ringtone slider is a symbol of a vibrating phone, and it can be activated or deactivated. Same story with the slider below, which refers to sms: you can check if it's activated or not.
It is activated though. I use Light flow which changes the LED light when I get a notification but it also sets what the notification does like vibrate and such. My ohone vibrates in ever other situation expect when I receive a text.

Been using this very nice phone for a couple of weeks now and loving it. Got checkrom v4 on it and it is running nice, with one issue.
I use silent mode when I am at work, so as not to annoy my office mates, with it coming on automatically using tasker. When I leave it is turned off, and audible selections is activated in the settings even though it was of before entering silent mode. Does this happen normally our have I stuffed something up in tasker? If it happens normally is there a way of preventing this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I don't use tasker but not sure about that but when I put the phone on silent the touch tones remain silent.
You may also want to go into settings / sounds and lower the system volume which also lowers that. I find that the stock touch volume is too high.
Sent from my GT-I9100T
Hmm maybe I phrased it wrong. I have the audible selections unchecked before I put silent mode on, then silent mode comes on, and they stay unchecked, but when silent mode turns off they become checked again. Its not a big deal to uncheck it but it just annoys me (yea I know first world problem!)
Might see if I can turn down the stock volume to minimal for this and see if it makes a difference, probably the simple solution to the issue (can live without touchtones on the dial pad).

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.

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
