Hey there. I've tried searching for a fix for my GS2 not vibrating and I can't seem to find one. It will vibrate on key press and when it rings if I have headphones plugged into the jack. But as soon as I unplug them it wont vibrate at all. Any ideas? Or should I just be taking it back and getting it fixed?

Did you turn vibration on in the app?

I've turned the vibration setting on in everything I could. It just will not vibrate unless i plug headphones into the phone.
Sounds jacked up. Did it vibe on stock ROM? If so full wipe and re-flash is in order. If didn't work stock return to stock and take it in for service. And don't forget to reset your flash counter.

For months, I've been having a problem with the ringer auto-adjusting itself.
At work, I turn the volume down to level 3, and when I leave, I turn it back up to 6. About halfway through the day, I'll get a text, or a call, and my ringer is back up at level 6 all by itself. I find I have to re-adjust the volume a couple of times a day to keep it low.
Then when I leave work, within a few minutes of turning the volume back up, it returns to 3. It will do this a couple of times a night, and even on the weekends. It doesn't seem to have a regular time where it does it, but it happens almost every day. I can't tell you how many calls I've missed because of this.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for it, or is it being caused by an app, or what? Doesn't matter what rom I'm running, it just keeps happening.
I've experienced this too on Infected 1.4.2 and 1.5 (sense 3.0) and Synergy Roms. Can't remember if i've seen this in stock and I haven't tried any other roms... It just hasn't affected me to the point where I cared...
I don't remember if it happened stock or not, but it has happened on Synergy, Infected, and now Warm. I just can't figure it out.
mine does the same thing bro.. im not rooted.. stock..
Maybe it's an app causing it?
still cant figure it out?? its drivin me crazy!! ill have the volume down all the way some one will call and its full blast.. ****s gona blow my speaker!
Do you have a list of your apps? Maybe everyone having this issue have a common app installed.
Pocket mode on?

I noticed some ringtones play on media volume while others play on phone volume. Just thinking, but I do remember having a control issue where my media volume kept reseting to a default level randomly.

Pocket mode was turned on, but I don't believe that had anything to do with it.
I may have figured it out when it does it though. Every time I make or receive a call, the volume goes back up. I just tested it by making 3 calls in a row, and every time I hung up, the ringer volume was back up. I would turn it down, make a call, and it's back up again. I just wish I could figure out why it's doing that.
I just purchased a used Razr XT910 (Rogers) from Best Buy and started setting it up today. At one point, I used the volume buttons to mute the phone, and then things started acting up. The phone is now in persistent 'silent mode.' No matter how much or often I press the volume up button, within seconds the phone will mute itself. Even when I go into Settings and uncheck 'Silent Mode,' it will be checked again almost immediately. The phone is basically unusable now and I am very frustrated.
All I've done to the phone so far:
-no apps apart from what came stock have been installed
-tried turning off the phone and then on (no change)
-tried doing a factory reset, but it dumped me into AP Fastboot (why???)
-setup my Google account
-a few settings have been changed, ie. haptic turned off, vibrate turned off, etc.
-the volume buttons work and aren't stuck
The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6 and is from Rogers. Apparently, the phone was tested as working from Best Buy. Is this a hardware or software issue? Should I try doing another factory reset, even though last time it put me into fastboot?
Any suggestions or solutions?
it is strange try another reset and if it put you in fastboot there is an option from there to reset, i dont remember it though, google or youtube it
Well this might sound weird but push on the speaker location. A couple batches of RAZR have an issue (mine included) where the speaker contact comes loose and pressing on the speaker helps make the connection again.
Here is just one of the many threads on it https://vzwsupport.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/772234

i don't think his problems with the speaker.. he seems to be referring to the volume option that keeps putting itself into silent mode..

Are you by any chance using the SmartActions or Tasker?
If you are using ICS you can go to Sound -> Volumes and set the ringtone volume from there.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. On Saturday, I decided to try a factory reset through Android again. This time, it reset the phone as it should have. I've been testing the phone (by muting and unmuting, etc.) since then, and it seems that the silent mode problem is now fixed. It looks as though it just needed a proper reset.
I love this phone by the way .
My only glitch so far has been a volume problem...
Sometimes, especially after Netflix or YouTube, my media volume, and sometimes others, will be stuck on silent. Using the volume buttons won't work. Trying to change it in settings won't work. The only thing I've found is to either reenter the app and exit, or reboot the phone.
Is anyone experiencing this? If so, am I missing something or is it really a glitch?

I have the same issue. Used reboot yesterday and so far all is ok. Only media volume stuck on my verizon note 2.

I had this problem last night, only ringer volume wouldnt move until a reboot. I actually noticed too that audio through the headphones was beyond plss poor until I rebooted the first time. Since then, pretty good. Strange

great, i thought it was just mine. at least a reboot fixes it - but really annoying though.
same issue -- media volume stuck -- note 2 -- verizon
I have been experiencing the same issue as described by others above. Galaxy note 2, Verizon. It seems to be associated with use of the headphone jack while also running audio-related apps (music streaming).
Unfreeze volume without reset
Same issue on Note 2 at&t. Happens when the phone goes from mute to unmute I find. I was able to unfreeze it by holding down the home button until the shortcut menu pops up, the go to the pie chart icon on the bottom left of the screen, then go to the RAM tab and hit clear memory. It worked for me when I just tried it and it is quicker than resetting the phone.
On jellybean
When I receive a phone call while the phone is off I get the option to either "Decline" or "Accept". I accept by pulling the green "Accept" button down and into the half circle. Immediately the phone turns off again, requiring me to push the power button again to turn it on. Although this is something that isn't terribly hard to do, it is annoying as many times I touch the speaker button. I would be nice if when I accept the call the phone would stay awake so I can just touch speaker.
I went through the settings but could not find anything. Any idea's?

This is a known issue with the Proximity Sensor not working correctly. My phone does the same thing and I am currently in contact with HTC support. I will let you know what I find out

I've had my DNA since late November and I used to keep it on vibrate all of the time. Now that I keep it on Normal sound, I've noticed that the phone doesn't ring when I get a call. If I'm lucky, I'll catch it lighting up and be able to answer it. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any ways to fix it?
I do have a song that I've downloaded as my ringtone. I also have the Call Control app. I was wondering if either of these could be the problem?
Any suggestions?
ditto
