No incoming Call sound/ Vibration - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm using SG2 on KF3 india stock firmware
I noticed a weird bug,
When vibration is set to always on mode, and Motion controls (Turn over) are set to On, when the phone is place on flat surface like sofa,bed,pillow or anyother flat surface,there is no sound or vibration for incoming call and messages.
if at all that comes,vibration or sound is coming only for 1-2 sec,then phone goes to silent
This happeing with Vibration only in silent mode also, once in a while its completely vibrating ,other wise phone vibrating for two times then going to silent mode
When Turn Over setting in Motion is disabled,then its completely fine,
is this normal with Turn Over feature, If yes, then i'm done with motion controls
Its so annoying for me,as i need vibration always,coz when phone is trouser pocket,ringtone is not audible,so i need vibration to know for sms and incoming calls, in this case,when phone is on sofa or bed,i'm completely blindfolded about my calls and sms as there is no ringtone
anyway to get this over?

Any one else faced this issue?

No, I do not have this problem.
I have also both turned on - vibration and motion controls.
Do you have tested the turn over in settings - motion controls - turn over?
And do you already tried to calibrate sensors?
In settings - display - horizontal calibration and gyro-sensor calibration.
If this does not help, you really should set priority and use silent mode.

Same here
I've the same issue..
Im on xxkh3 right now. I've tried calibrating and also Ive tested several different versions of firmware. Nothing changed.
It's quite annoying, knowing that only some of us have this, makes it worse. Maybe it is a hadrware defect??
Edit : BTW, there is already a thread for this :

[Q] Vibration turns off automatically

Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If you manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
I honestly don't know how to fix this very annoying problem. I just want the vibration to be active at all times!
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

just change your settings to mute ringtone and media volume for a diffrent profile that you dont use
I tried that, and it doens't work.
I've also reset to factory default, with no luck.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Anyone?

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

Notification vibration intensity

I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or knows of a solution. Is there a way to control, through settings or an app you can download, the vibration intensity for notifications and calls. I've noticed at work that if I have my phone on my desk or pocket that the vibration is clearly audible and noticeable by people around me.
I've tried Vibe but it seems to only be for calls and focuses on vibration pattern.
I'm running HOX+ stock and unrooted.

[Q] Vibration / Sound Toggle

I am currently an iPhone 4s user and really like the way that the switch toggles between no sound (vibrate) and sound. I leave me phone in vibrate mode for most of the day and in the evening I tend to switch it to sound so I can hear the alerts from around my house when I don't have the phone with me. I am thinking about switching to an android device (S4 or HTC One) and have a few friends that haven't been able to duplicate the behavior of the iPhone. They get sound with vibration or some other weird combinations that wont work for me. Is this a limitation of the OS or is it device specific? I basically want everything to vibrate (Ringer, SMS, Email) with the option of changing everything to sound, no combinations of the two. I also need to distinguish between types of messages by using different vibration patterns.
Thanks.
Grant
I've seen several people recommend something like tasker or quick settings to setup a home screen item that would switch all apps to vibrate and one that would switch all apps to sound. Is this something that anyone has done? I really want to toggle between all sound and all vibrations with no combination of the two.
Thanks...
