It sounds like you flashed a GT9100 ROM on an AT&T Galaxy S 2 (i777). If this is the case, you can go to the AT&T SGS2 forum and download the Hellraiser mod and the haptic feedback home button fix. Then boot into recovery and flash hellraiser first, then haptic fix, then reboot your device and all should be well. If you're on a GT9100, you probably have a bad install. Try performing a full wipe (data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe) then re-flash the ROM again. That should take care of things. Good luck.

[Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue

My SGS2 stopped vibrating. Tried flashing, un-rooting, restoring stock and factory settings. None of these worked.
I am inclined to think that it is a hardware problem.
Has anyone else been dealing with issue? I read some posts on XDA regarding this matter but they were software related as opposed to hardware. Can anyone post instructions on how to fix it or provide any solutions for this issue?
If its hardware, why not flash stock, remove binary flash count with USB jig, and return for warranty?

Cannot get jig in Palestine. Bought the phone from the UK. Sending it back will be problematic. I will look for a repair shop.
Thanks for the quick reply
That's a "bummer" (bad luck). You could make a jig, but as you said that it would be problematic to return. Hope you can sort it easily. Sorry, can't think of anything of use right now.

hey there,
i got the same problem. no more vibrating at all. not with calls or notifications and not as haptic feedback. it started today (was still working in the morning), though i did not drop the phone or anything.
i am still hoping too find that it's a sw-problem. but all potential solutions i find do not help. so i guess i have to contact samsung.
but before i do that i have to get rid of all "hacking".
could you plz tell me what i have to do?
i have now cm9 20120402 nightly.
but i still have a cwm-recovery-backup of the original touchwiz (gingerbread).
-so first i make a backup of my current rom via cwm and of all my apps via titanium and store everything on my pc.
-i flash my touchwiz-backup
-i get one of those: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ld-keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+S2+USB+Jig&x=0&y=0 , plug it in, wait til its done and remove it again.
after that, samsung will never know i "messed" with the phone??
or do i have to consider/do something else?
tyvm!!

I have the same issue.
When I was on my stock 2.3.5, I found a workaround:
- go into test mode (dial *#0*#)
- find the vibrate button, when you press it, it shouldn't work like you expect
- go back
- plug in your headphones and push the cable a bit to the left
- test vibrate again - this time it should work
- pull the cable out while vibrating, still pushed to the left, vibrations should stay on
I know it sounds crazy but it seems the hardware part that controls the vibrations is near to the jack port - excessive use of headphones, like it was case, must have damaged it somehow.
However, now I'm on CM9, so no test mode for me, I'm achieving the same effect by bashing the back button, so I get semi-constant vibration. I know, It's ridiculous.
Have the same problem here, I think it's software related because the shut down vibration stopped working when I flashed CM9 ICS, I can't remember if it was working anywhere else though. But now I'm back to 2.3.5 and it's not working at all. Did a Factory Reset, Cleaned Cache before and after the flash. Also used the Jig to reset my counter. Any clues?
I am experiencing the same issue.
Yesterday, I downgraded from 4.0.3 back to 2.3.5 as I was having a lot of problems with ICS. Now, my phone works fine again except for the fact that it does not vibrate anymore. (Which it did fine in 4.0.3 and before in 2.3.5)
I tried the trick Lechium06 mentioned in this thread but that did not work for me.
Anyone else having this issue? More important, anyone have a solution???

I saw something similar on CM9 thread, they said it could be a "bad flash", not a corrupted rom but the lack of proper cleanup before and after the flash. But I cleaned up everything before and after and I don't like reconfiguring the whole phone again for nothing.
it happend again.
dont recall what i did or if i did something last time at all. but it worked for over a year now. and now, my sgs2 doesnt vibrate at all, i tried all possible settings, tested with z-device and rebooted. nothing.
apprechiate any hint!
thx!!

AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
since i had that before, i ruled out a hardware issue. it happend when i played with the system settings. but as i sayed, i tried to reverse everything i did. now after i updated to 0206 and wiped cache and dalvik, still no vibration.
is there anything i could have missed?
is there a possibility to reset all settings to default without deleting all my data?
thx,

I assume since your posting in xda developers that you are rooted?
If so, just back up data with titanium backup app and factory reset, setup system and then restore USER apps and data only.

Did you install another rom?
My vibration for example didn't work with some cm10.1 nightlies
it started in cm10.1 20130203. then i tried wipe cache and dalvik. nothing. then i updated to 0206 (wiped cache and dalvik again) > still nothing. went to bed. got up. everything ok! its vibration again! i am 100% sure, it did not work, when i left it on my desk last night. this morning, i checked for missed calls and it took a moment until i realized: i got haptik feedback back on patternunlock and keystrokes! checked ringtone-vibration: fine as well!
dont ask me how! would still like to know for myself.
thx,
kws
AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
call me stupid!
suddenly this evening my phone stopped vibrating again. then i realized: quiet hours! i turned off haptik feedback at night.
could slap myself. at least ill find this thread again, next time i screw it again....

SGS3 problem with losing all sounds

Hello,
I bought recently the new SGS3 and after a week or two of using I noticed the phone loses all the sounds despite all of them are turned on and not being on minimum. After a while the sounds get back and everything works fine. At first I thought it might be from the settings because I set up silent mode for all notifications and I thought it may turn all the sounds off, despite it normally shouldn't. After playing for a while with the phone I realized the issue appears randomly without any reasons while I was playing game or simply navigating through the phone. If anyone had experienced the same issue or have an idea what could be the problem (software, hardware, settings, OS, etc) or how it can be solved, please respond. Any answer is appreciated as the problem is quite annoying as I'm missing calls because of it.
Thank you.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S III
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - I9300BOLF1
Kernel version - 3.0.15-782020
Build number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
P.S. Restart of the phone doesn't help as I already tried it. The issues is related to all the sounds not to the vibration, the last works fine.
Backup data and factory reset.

Thank you for your advise JJEgan, unfortunately it didn't help neither. Yesterday I did the factory reset and left it as it is, didn't restore any of my previous settings or apps, didn't install anything additional, just wanted to see if the problem will appear again, and unfortunately it did.
Anything else I can try or I should take it to a service?
Thank you
I have the same problem with notification sounds. The problem appears when i turn off notifications on apk like im+ or Yahoo messenger. Is there any other solution rather than factory rest?

[Q] Problem switching calls | ICS | F1 GalaxyNexus ROM

Hi,
Galaxy S2
F1 GalaxyNexus ROM, Build 5.
I'm having a problem switching calls. When the second call comes in I'm notified of it and swipe right to answer it but I get an error, "unable to switch calls". I had the same problem in Build 1 so updated to Build 5 today but I still get the same error when I try to switch to the second call.
I've checked that call waiting is enabled, and it is.
I've turned it off and rebooted the phone but strangely still get notified of the second call.
I've re-enabled call waiting and rebooted but still get the same error as before "unable to swich calls".
I'm on Vodafone pay as you go, Freedom Freebie.
Any ideas please? I'm a noob so can't post on the Faryaab's development thread
Thanks
Greg
I probably should of said....
The Baseband version is I9100XXLPS.
If the second caller hangs up I am able to get back to the first caller.
If I can get the first caller to hang up then I can switch to the second caller.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Greg
Just bumping my own thread again.
Wondering if anyone can advise if they have call waiting enabled and can switch calls and what ROM you're running?
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi Sun90,
Sorry about the bump, will edit my OP if I need to in the future.
In Titanium I did a 'wipe data' for 'Phone 4.0.4-eng', shutdown, pulled the battery and rebooted. No luck unfortunately
I was wondering if this could be related to the baseband? I'm running I9100XXLPS on Vodafone UK. What are you running?
I might have to check out the ROM you're running! I really like this ROM but not being able to switch calls is such a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sun90,
Just tried as you said but the only option was to clear data, which I did. I also cleared the defaults (not sure what that'll do!), switched off, pulled battery but still get the same error, unable to switch calls.
I suppose it must be the ROM
Thanks anyway.

just to ensure its a problem with the present version of F1 rom ur using, i would suggest u to try an older or a newer version of that rom and see, also alternatively check with some other rom like 'Slim ICS' for instance and see if the issue persists
I worked out what the defaults is all about, it's cause I've got calls set to default to the phone rather than Skype.
I've removed Skype just in case it was causing the issue but it wasn't.
Any other ideas please?

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update to say that Vodafone UK advised me that call waiting / switching doesn't work when you are on pay as you go
I had previously posted in the Vodafone forum and been advised to try a wipe and spoken to tech support who advised that it should work, luckily for me I spoke to someone today that knew what they were talking about!
Thanks for your help.

Touchwiz works fine and doesnt freeze, until you plug something into the 3.5mm jack (be it headphones, speaker, aux etc.)

1)clear cache and data of touchwiz home
2) restart the phone
i dont really want to factory reset my phone to be fair i was hoping there was a solution without doing that,
so thats my problem id greatly appriciate any possible solutions as i will try them all
Thanks,
Terry.

disable page buddy from settings and try
which ROM are you on btw? is your phone rooted? did you install some mod after which this is happeing?
Its the stock ROM, yes it is rooted and the only sort of mod i got is stweaks.
I have tried deleting my un-necessary apps and have disabled 90% of the bloat-ware
that comes with the phone (flipboard, samsung app store etc.)
Thanks,
Terry.
Edit: page buddy is turned off and refuses to turn on for me to test it, i think touchwiz is trying to use it
and encountering a error maybe?
reflash your rom and factory reset. if it doesn't help - send it to service
I have the same issue. I reflashed my rom and it still did not fix the problem. Rooted using The People's Rom 17. I would also like help with this issue as well, thanks for any help.

[SOLVED] Phone gets FC on incoming calls

Hey everybody.
My girlfriend is having a terrible problem with her new Xperia Go. It's running the latest Stock Firmware and Kernel without Root and every time she gets an incoming call, the phone won't react for about 15 seconds and then a FC Popup appears. This happens as soon she tries to answer the call. We rebooted it and it worked as it should after a fresh boot, but as soon she uses apps like Whatsapp, Facebook and so on, the problem persists and it's kinda of frustrating. A smartphone should be able to handle those things and she's really disappointed. Thinks I've tried:
-Clear data and cache of Contacts and Phone.
-Hard Reboot
-Recently installed the latest update via OTA (I hoped the problem would get fixed, but unfortunately it's still there)
-Tried using the stock launcher since she uses Nova Launcher
If someone has got an idea of what's going on please reply this post. I don't know if I should root her phone or maybe install a custom ROM. Honestly I wouldn't like to do that since she's a Noob in Android and basically in Technology Stuff. But if that's the solution, I would do that. It's really frustrating.
Thanks! Hope anybody could help
EDIT: SOLVED!
I tried to limit the background processes in developer settings and set the maximum to 4 processes and it magically solved the problem!
