Vibrate Death ? - Galaxy S II SGH-I777 (AT&T) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

After searching and trying to fix this for a few weeks, I'm finally reaching out for help, I really don't know what else to do.
My vibrate function seems to be completely dead.
I rooted the phone a while back when I first got it and everything was perfect on the first ROM I was using. I then flashed to a different ROM and lost haptic feedback but kept the other vibrate functionality (alarms, texts, etc.) Sorry I don't have specifics on the ROMs but I know the issues may be have been due to the i9100 porting stuff causing haptic issues
My vibrate functionality kind of slowly stopped working.. Sometimes when the headphones were in it would work fine, then I'd take them out it would stop.. and Vice versa.
It does SOUND like it's a hardware error.. But that seems a little silly since there have been multiple issues floating around w/ ROMs and haptic/vibrate problems.
Before I take any further action, anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking to re-stock the phone entirely (unroot, stock kernel, stock rom) and see if that does it.. I'd rather not send it in to get replaced but I guess that would be an easy option if I can't fix it via software.

I googled vibration not working galaxy s2.
Found this but I didn't watch it as I am not on wifi.

Same happened to the last phone I had, the HTC Aria. I ended up just taking it to an AT&T store for replacement. I even tried going back to stock. Nothing worked on mine.

Yeah, already called att for a replacement and its on the way. Finally decided to give up after getting it back to 100% stock (kernel rom bl etc).
I literally tried everything. But in the end it makes sense that it is a hw problem since so many others have run into it too. Poop.

i watched the video you showed. i started to mess around with my settings while i inserted my headphones on. Somehow, everything is fixed but the vibration is not as strong as before.
Furthermore, my aux does not work with this phone sometimes. It would need to be connected a certain in order for it to work.
I probably dropped my phone while I was working out while i have my headphones on. The connector probably got messed up in the process.
I might need to send my phone in for a replacement. Since i'm not under warrenty, i might send my phone to a lab. I'm pretty sure they can do something about it.

The vibrator turned out to be a hardware issue for me as expected, fyi.

[Q] sound dropping in and out during calls

So this has been happening randomly on calls for about two weeks now. I'm still on Stock everything and would like to know if this is a known problem, if something is wrong with my phone, or if there is a fix? I'm past the point of returning and getting a new one and plus, I have grown atattched to this phone LOL.
I've tried hitting speaker and then turning it off but that doesn't work. Tried ticking mute and then unticking it, not working either. Reboot doesn't work. Resetting back to stock doesn't change it either.
Thanks to all.
AJ
Sounds like a typical ATT phone call. Would you and the person on the other end both happen to be on speaker phone? I cannot have a call via speaker to my wife if she is on speaker (which see insists on using) - there is too much voxing going on, I only hear every couple of syllables.

Not a speaker phone call. Seems like it happens mostly when I make calls from speed dial from my homepage screen. I can't conf
irm that last bit though lol.
Another question is this....I just turned my phone completely off and it had 42 % battery. When I turned it back on it now has 22% left.....what in the world is going on lol???
Would I be better off reverting back to 2.3.4? Or just getti
ng another sgs2?

I need more details to say this for sure, but I THINK you may be having the same issue I had. Not many people seem to have this issue (only seen a handful across a variety of forums). So if you happen to be a fellow sufferer, then welcome to the club!
My problem was:
After the 2.3.6 update (UCKK6), the person on the other line had trouble hearing me because my voice cut in and out frequently, yet randomly. On my end though, they came in nice and clear. I often had to deal with people hanging up on me because they thought my call dropped or that I hung up, or had to deal with a lot of people repeating "hello? hello!? You there!?" as I helplessly tried responding and not being heard.
My Solution(s):
1) keep the 2.3.6 update, but flash just the 2.3.4 (UCKH7) modem. Everything on your phone will work fine, but you will get the following FALSE warnings (FALSE as in the phone says it can't do something, yet everything works fine anyways. These are only based on first-hand experience and may not happen to you.)
a) upon boot (not wake/unlock) there will be an error notification about you not being able to access your external memory card due to security reasons... don't worry, its bull.
b) when using your phone as a mass media storage device, you will get a notification about the mass storage function not being able to work... this message is also bull.
2) Or you can just completely return to 2.3.4 (UCKH7) and either ignore the update prompts or freeze the process until a newer update that hopefully fixes our problem (or ICS) is released.
I did (1) for about 2 weeks then did (2) after reading all the battery complaints blamed on UCKK6. It reverted just to play it safe with battery life (plus they say that "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" and for me, UCKH7 wasn't broken and the update definitely broke it).
Wow, that sounds identical to me except its they can hear me but I can't hear them LOL. I reverted last night with odin one click downloader and the stock kernel for battery life so we will see what's going to happen today. Is this a phone problem physically or is it software?
Thanks
AJ
For me, its a software issue (modem to be specific) because it only happens on UCKK6 (and the leaked UCKJ1, UCKJ2, and UCKJ4) and when on UCKH7, my calls are as clear as a LAN line.
I say that if the problem still exists now, then its hardware. In that case, try contacting Samsung for a replacement if your ATT warranty is up. You could try ATT too because its a defective phone and they may still do something.

EVO 3D with a mind of its own

Hey whats up everyone. Ok long story short, I got the evo3d the first day it came out. Also rooted it with the first solution and never installed a custom rom for a while. Now a while back I started experiencing problems like when i touch a number key it either presses another, or sometimes enters it twice. It basically is making the phone impossible to use. I then figured maybe it had something to do with the original rom and the phone being rooted. So I then installed ViperRom as so many people have good things to say about it. The rom worked good for about a week or so and then the problem came back with the buttons just having a mind of its own. Now sometimes it will work with no issues for hours on end, and sometimes it just goes beserk from the get go. If anyone has experienced this and can please suggest something as Im ready to just call it in lost and have them send me a new one but if I can fix it I would much prefer that as I plan on just having it flashed to boost anyways since I've never used the 4g since the day ive gotten the phone.
Thanks in advance

I had this problem with another phone and I reinstalled my keyboard, because that's what was causing it.

It sounds like you've got issues with your digitizer. The only sure fix is to get a replacement.
response
Do you think maybe just trying to flash it back to stock would resolve the issue or possibly trying another rom? It happens so sporadic and only started after I rooted the phone. Also, to the poster above how do you reinstall your keyboard?

You can try to return to stock/unrooted and see if you can repeat the issue. And I didn't mean reinstall the keyboard, the digitizer is part of the touch screen assembly, so if you can repeat the problem for a sprint rep, they may give you a new/replacement phone.
Flashing back to stock, flipping kernels etc... Didn't fix mine. I had to get 2 of these 3d's until the 3rd finally worked. It's the digitizer.

Can't make calls, data and sms/mms works fine

As the title suggests, suddenly I started getting force closes with com.android.phone when I'd receive a call. I immediately tried to call out, same story. I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours, and had no luck finding anything relevant on XDA or any other site.
Firstly I switched kernels, since I'd updated to DSB's latest, though I'd had no issues with it until then. That failed, so I reverted to Viper's stock build.prop, undoing some changed I'd been running for a while (and hadn't modified at all today).
With no luck there, I backed up my sdcard and did a full factory reset and formatted the sdcard in twrp and then in cwm, followed by a reinstall of the latest Viper ROM. Even that didn't work, so I relocked and RUU'd back. Twice. Same exact issue. I can text anyone just fine, data over LTE goes on as normal, but anytime I try to make a call, be it with the stock dialer or through a diff one from the play store (for kicks, last resort). I reseated the SIM card a multitude of times, to no avail. I get full functionality with my SIM in my other phone, so I'm sure it must be the hardware itself on the phone. Every time com.android.phone stops, the SIM initialization happens like when you physically re-seat the SIM.
The troubling thing is that I haven't done anything, save for a simple kernel and recovery update, which would've been negated by two RUU runs to stock. I haven't touched the SIM card or anything, at least until that started happening. Furthermore confusing is how all other functionality can remain except for actually making phone calls.
Removing the SIM entirely and dialing a number does the exact same thing, just as an FYI.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?
As I've unlocked my phone, my last resort is to go into a VZW store and act like an idiot so they don't check to see if i unlocked it. Further complicating that is the fact that the DNA was actually purchased on my own account, which I closed, and brought to an unlimited data line that was preexisting. I'm half tempted to wait for the official OTA and see if that will remedy the issue, but my fear is this may be a physical issue beyond the remedy of a firmware update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126386
Check this thread, me and another member faced the same problem. I can get 3g/2g data, sms and all other functions just right. Just no phonecalls, every time i make a call i get a crash of the app.
So, i am pretty sure this is a software bug. For god's sake, what a strange problem!Did your phone used to work right?
I bought my phone from ebay, did not check if phonecalls are working(i couldn't imagine such a bug) and went straight away to rooting/other kernels/roms etc. But can't find a solution too,tried everything as you, and the worst, i am overseas!!!
Is the update coming soon?
edit1: i have seen lots of threads about sim errors,a very common issue of DNA, i am believing that these two bugs have something in common. No hardware defect, just software bugs.

thanks for the thread, for the life of me i couldn't find anything exactly relating to what i described. that is spot on though, and def makes me feel a bit more at ease that maybe it can be resolved with an update to the firmware that's due soon.
yea, the funny thing is that it worked flawlessly, i never even got the SIM error message, i'd been texting my gf, a few friends, and my parents and then my pops called in the evening and it immediately closed out the call before it really even rang. i called him right back and that's when the force closes started happening, calls never working agian thereafter. however, i was able to still text everyone i was before and data was working flawlessly as always, just no calls, not even after all the crap i did to troubleshoot.
the update is hopefully going to be out soon. the support documents came out a few days ago. i def can't survive on this galaxy nexus after having used my DNA since launch!
I will wait for the update too, hopefully it will be uploaded today or tomorrow i think. But just because i can't get on the air update, i need to download from a server the update and install it on my own.
If anyone finds a solution or have an idea of what to look/do, please post here. I am pretty sure it is a software bug, something is stucking the application from working properly. The other solution is RMA, but it is a very difficult to send it back and get it back again.

OP, can you test this one to see if you get a fix?Thanks!!!
Ok, I had the same exact issue. I was stock then went to viper Dna then tried going to hatka and soft bricked my phone. I went back to stock using the RUU. That's when I got the com. Android. Phone crash message. So I had to re unlock reboot and then flash viper Dna again. Everything works as it should now.
After saying all that I just got the new update from Verizon. I assume I shouldn't flash this since I'm on a custom rom.

Hi guys i got a similar problem. My DNA was perfect since yesterday but now i can use data connection for internet. All the other stuff is working fine....SMS,call, wifi, the only thing that is not working is the 3g data. All of this problem came when i flashed the viper DNA, so i flashed the supercharged hoping it was an issue of the rom. Olso with the supercharged the problem was always here.... So i decide to came back to stock and i re-lock my bootloader and flasched stock RUU. But data connection is still not working :crying:
can anyone please tell me what can i do?
Did you install patches 1.1.1& 1.1.2 from viper?They fix some gsm problems.

Which version of viper worked for you?
hard problem
Has any one figured out this problem? I have not been able to received any phone calls since I did s-off. I have tried everything that has been wrote so with no luck. I have relocked my phone and flashed stock RUU no change. Unlocked and tried several roms still no calls. formatted everything under CWM not change. Fixed permissions. Went back and re-locked and reflashed stock RUU. I know that some of the things above have fixed others phones and some still have problems. I also found a script someone wrote lock my phone which now it says locked and flashed stock rom after that still have problem. Does anyone here here a idea that I have not already mentione above? I like my droid dna but if I can't get it to make and take calls it is a paperweight.:crying:

[Q] Help! A ton of sudden problems out of no where

Well, I was running rootbox for i717 and everything was working fine for a month, Then suddenly out of no where for no reason at all my phone got super laggy, apps started crashing, and my sound stopped working, I mean completely not through the headset not through the speaker nothing!!! So my first thought was something was wrong with the rom, so I tried a factory data reset, I tried re-installing it, I tried 3 other roms, cynagenmod10, Jellybeer and xylon, Finally I did the farthest restore to my stock gingerbread rom, and still the problem priests, in fact its getting worse, I don't know what to do at this point I am completely out of ideas. Could this be a hardware issue? its the only conclusion I can come up with, but its still strange, because if it was just my speaker I would understand hardware issue, but my speaker, my earpiece, my headset, and Apps crashing, super Lag, I can barley even get my keyboard to pop-up then it dispersers. What is going on!!! Please help me oh great devs.
Well, assuming you did complete wipes and factory resets as you flashed each Rom, I'd say you eliminated software.
Did you leave the phone somewhere that let it overheat? Or used a non-OEM charger? Or overclocked it?

Your best bet is to go to RootzWiki where the dev work is done for those ROMs .. And post this in the threads... I myself am running root box .... Go there .. XDA doesn't support these roms anymore so that's where you need to go
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
did you do the 3 wipe procedures when installing the firmware?
there is more than just 3 wipes you can do .....depending on a dirty flash or a clean install or a complete wipe and clean install...you also have android secure ...internal ....external
Sorry for the delayed response
Well, yes I did always do the 3 wipe method, I did the complete wipe as well, and I saw no need to talk to the rootbox dev, (whos name im terrified of mentioning on xda in fear of getting banned lol) because I tried other roms from other devs and the problem still persisted, then I went to the stock rom and still had the problem, then I unrooted the phone and did one last complete wipe, re-installed the stock gingerbread rom, and still had the issue, so finally i gave up and got in contact with the guy on ebay who sold me the phone, and luckily he was more then willing to give me a replacement, then I got the note2 and was (still am) busy trying to sell this one, so I really just forgot I had this post up until I logged in right now so that is why the long delay, Thanks for your help guys but in the end im still pretty sure it was a hardware issue, but since Its back in the hands of the seller and I have new one we will never know for sure

no gps lock, auto rotate and presence sensor doesn't work

first I've tried about 4-5 roms from stock tw to aosp style.
I get a gps lock but it's waaaaay off, floats around and doesn't give me my true location, maps, ingress etc none of them work properly.
my auto rotate doesn't work on any rom, beans/alliance dn3 gummy etc, it doesn't matter. if an app is landscape it tends to work and i can force an app to rotate aside from my camera app however nothing that should rotate when I turn my phone on its side seems to work. I. basically deal with it however is starting to get frustrating, I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work.
any ideas on what might fix this or is a warranty replacement the best course of action.
and lastly my presence sensor won't work, in calls the screen doesn't turn off I have to manually turn it off, I don't understand. it used to work great I could just place my hand in front of it on calls and it worked, not anymore.
I'm thinking I should just get a warranty replacement my quandary is that I've got my bootloader unlocked and I'd like to get another note 2 with an unlocked bootloader, however I know that's more always possible.

Chances for getting another Note 2 with it still on 4.1.2 is slim, but there is a chance.
Thats is weird that all of sudden this problem started occurring.. You did not drop your phone or do something that may have effected these things?
Have you tried to Odin a Stock Recovery and perform a Factory Reset? You might want to give that a go and see if it solves these issues.. Also when testing GPS, I have always resorted to an app called GPS Toolbox. It works great!

I have dropped it a few times however it lives in a TPU case, I've never dropped it from higher than about waist high. though it is possible
I'll try to Odin this weekend, can you point me to the most up to date rootable odin, I've done some searching I'm just not sure which is best.

Use the Stock Recovery image in the stickied Data Corruption thread in the General Section..
well I've tried a couple of different methods, guess something really is broken... I'm going to go back to bone stock and call VZW to get a replacement, damn this sucks... I'm not going to be able to flash the stuff I want.
whatever as long as everything else works.
flashed back to VRAMC3 called VZW went through 90 minutes of troubleshooting and updated all the way to Kit-Kat... still doesn't work.
and to top it all off, my vibrate just started going really strange.
I'll have a new phone tomorrow, hopefully ghetto root works.
May Not Be THE Solution, But Finally Worked For Me!
So, I've been experiencing GPS issues on R3Ds Port S5, SlimKat, Paranoid, DN3, and Dirty Unicorns... been trying all the solutions being posted in the threads before factory resetting and starting all over.
BTW I use GPS Toolbox to test my GPS connections and get 0/0 satelllites.
In a last ditch effort, I loaded AllianceRom and GPS connected (20/20 Satellites with GPS Toolbox)!! I was starting to suspect that it was hardware until AllianceRom. As great of a Rom as it is, I will likely not stay on it unless I cannot get any of the other Roms to connect GPS.
I'll let this Rom run for about 4-5 hours and then with a GPS fix, try and re-install Dirty Unicorns or R3Ds and report back.
I'm hoping this can be a solution for a least a few, if not all (wouldn't that be nice) of you experiencing the same issues as I was.
got a CLNR last week and everything works great.
sadly, no roms fixed the issue and now I'm on locked bootloader ND7.
on the bright side ghetto root worked and wanam xposed is at least a decent way to get what I want, manually editing my the files to increase volume etc is a pain, however it's better than nothing.
glad to hear alliance fixed your gps, hopefully it stays fixed.
