VIBRATE issue - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Sometimes vibrate in my Xperia Z2 doesn't work... :crying: What is going on?

Ive have the issue too and it seems to be a hardware issue
The issue persists across firmwares
Im replacing my device in hopes i dont face the same issue, i recomend you do the same if posible

I was having this issue as well but it seems to have stopped randomly after a little. What I did was touch a magnet to the bottom on back and hopefully set it back in place. Hasn't stopped in over 24 hours. Another thing I'd recommend is if you're bootloader unlocked and you're turning you're voltage down to stop cause that could be the cause of it since the motor isn't getting enough voltage

Well I spoke too soon... Just stopped vibrating till I hit it. Sigh :/

So I'm bringing the phone into square trade... They're gonna look at it and see if they can fix it... I hope they notice it since it's not all the time... If they can't fix it they're gonna reimburse me for it.

Phone not restarting correctly!

I don't know if this affects anyone else but I have noticed that on more than one occation that if I hold down the power button and click restart phone that the phone will power down but will not reboot. I have to manually power it back on. Not a huge deal but wanted to see if this is happening to anyone else.
yup, has happened to me as well.
Same here, IDK why.
Been broke since day 1 for me..

Took phone to Sprint
Same here along with heating checked list said was part of list to replace gave me new phone this morning
Sorry, working as it should here. Must be some app you fellas installed.
Mines worked fine, every time.
Mine just stays off as well.
Mines never worked. Did factory reset with no luck. Would this be a good enough reason to get an exchange without a restocking fee??

Not sure could have something to do with fast boot and certain apps
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Ok I just restarted again and it worked...

Same here. Since day 1. Also my brother evo too.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I also have wiped my phone.

It's happened twice today.. This and touchscreen issues I'm pretty sure will be fixed with update coming.
I also get the touch screen issue. It only works on someplaces of the screen.

I exchanged mine because of this issue. Haven't had it since.

Typical get my beautiful Xperia s back from repair and worse then before

Feeling now like I have married a beautiful wife but she never stops nagging. ( ok I have and she doesn't just incase she reads this >:~} )
Had the yellowish tint and it was getting it worse then sent it off to Sony came back a month later with ICS installed but nfc broken and I use it all the time and getting FC even using contacts aaarrrrrggghhh if it goes back to them I may just give up and jump ship grrrrr
6 reboots and countless FC's and gave up installing the rest of my daily needed app's that never gave trouble before.
Just a *****ing post.

You can try installing ICS again using SEUS.. It may help
Was debating about that, or could get a hammer to it >:~}
But would not bring much satisfaction cause one blow and its done!!!
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
just calm down and breathe, take a step back and youll see things much clearer.
Things like this can sometimes be easily fixed with one click of a button. Repair it with SUS.:fingers-crossed:
Just try repair using PcC or SUS, many issue can be fixed but just give it a go mate Gud luck
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Oh brought back to stock few times and did a Sus as well but before did that went into config and this forced the nfc which is good but not the proximity which is real bad.
So now thinking of slow painful death on the phone drip of acid in the jack slot may do it >:~}

NFC has issues on the stock Roms. Try a custom Rom and see if it works better or even drop back to gb. Stock ice is buggy.
Debating about that but bootloader is locked so can't bring it back grrrr

You can use flashtool to downgrade even with locked booyloader.

True, and not that it brothers me rooting and fixing, but really annoys me that we spend plenty of money like lemmings on devices that are really below standard.
It its usually the second version of all manufactures devices that the bugs are ironed out.
So now have to spend hours of my time fixing the crap that should not have been there in the first place. Companies are now out sourcing the support for their devices to the crowd. If only they would reduce their prices to match the poor support!

can I get rid of the unlock delay?

Hello, im on beans build 10 (it did the same on stock though) but when I press the unlock button there is a short delay until the screen turns on. Its fairly annoying. How can I make it so its instant? Thanks for any help

If it did the same thing with a stock rom, it might be a problem with the phone. I'm using the i605 and I've been on beans build 10 and i have never had a delay problem.
How long is the delay usually?
The delay is almost un noticable. I would guess less than half a second. But there is a slight delay.

It's also well known and been asked a lot. Under display unchecked the auto adjust screen seems to help. Ultimately though it's just how the note 2 is and will (for now) always be there.

It's been talked about on the One x forums with the blame being directed towards jellybean. I don't know if this is true or not but what I was lead to believe.

Well then even if that's the problem I guess we get to live with it. I know it's been talked about a lot here too. Never heard it was JB.
Oh well I'm far from important enough to need my phone so fast that a half second delay is gonna be a problem.

Thanks for your replies. I am not really annoyed by this. It only seems to do it when the phone has been at idle for a while. Its not something I would knock this phone for. This things a beast so I can live with a tiny delay. Haha. Thanks again and hope that maybe itll get fixed in either official 4.2 or maybe key lime

i got rid of the unlock delay by disabling the lock screen...been using my n2 this way for a month now. no pocket dialing or anything random...actually dont think i could go back to using a lock screen.
afaik it's an exynos issue. you can do a few things to get the most out of it, but the processor will always take a second to pull itself out of deep sleep.

I had the exactly same issue with mine TWO days after purchase. Went right back, showed them the problem and got a new replacement on the spot.
I suggest you do the same. A mate of mine had the same issue with Xperia Z and now it just happened to me with Z Ultra...hopefully it's just coincidence and not a sign of a larger wide spread issue.
My wife set is facing same issue... Going to get it change

Dude, have you done full wipe after upgrading your phone?
If yes, then go ahead and claim your warranty rights.

Apart from the fact that I don't understand how your phone could be off when you're posting with it...
Have you tried to reflash with the PC Companion software?
Or maybe with flashtool?
This is the one problem I don't want to face, buying my phone from abroad.
I know Sony will fix it anyway under warranty, but it will obviously not an immediate exchange...

Ecery single topic or post about this problem is about the 3G version, so I tend to think it could be that the FW wasn't that ready.
Let's just hope that the 6833 European versions will have these problems solved...

yeah, after seeing all these posts about this issue, I am definately going to wait until there is a "official" version released for USA carriers...
Strange, I went into a t-Mobile store today, to ask about the XZU, and they had an "plain" Experia on display, with the same problem....makes me wonder is this is a problem with alot of the current Sony phones..
Hi guys, I think i know what cause the issue, it's the auto lighting setting.
I tried with my wife phone and I off the auto lighting in display setting and the issue is gone.... Then just now when I try to on back the auto lighting, then the issue is back again...
Hope this info helps...

Other reports that ticking the "optimized backlight" also fix the problem. Lol zu on 510 is still buggy it seems
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
I tried to ticked it without the auto lighting and it will not cause the issue...
For my case it's the auto lighting only...
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It seems that any way that's not the default one (i.e. the same way the phone shipped) interferes with something in the system...
Maybe that's something our devs could look in?
I mean, a 0 or a 1 in the wrong place (maybe triggered by the auto lighting on/off) could result in this issue...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
did you touched "optimized backlight" ?
Activate it., and restart the phone (it will be long boot 1/2 mins)
After that don't touch optimized backlighting option. (when is switched off we all have a lock sods)

As I said, untick the “adapt to light condition“ in the brightness setting and it should solve the issue.

The so call sudden death is because backlight is not turn on and you can't see anything without the backlight off.

Vibrate and hepatic feedback issues

So, randomly my vibrate just stops working randomly for the phone and then suddenly works again. I just updated my firmware and it just started happening recently. I'm assuming it's the software but any ideas what I can do?

I seem to have the same issue
I think its a hardware fault or at least with my case it is. its happened across 3 different firmwares and i have found that shaking or hitting my phone actually fixes it, this proves to me few possible
For you id recommend flashing a new firmware one more time and seeing if it shows up again, if it does then it is defiantly a hardware issue
Ill be sending my Z2 back
Details for others (about my device):
Camera lense is off centre
Gap at the top right
Gap at the bottom left
Audio jack doesent look right + very small gap
Random vibration loss

Mine did it and shaking it helped as well but idk if that's a placebo because it hasn't done it since I flashed a new kernel and rom on the phone... So there's that lol. I also have a tiny gap on the bottom left but it's barely noticeable in fact I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I love the phone and not gonna use my square trade warranty for it just yet

if the vibration issue shows up again then you know its a hardware issue, its better to have something working but not something faulty, faulyt things just kill them selfs more
And im with you, I love the phone more than my old phone, i realy dont want to send it back, i just want to play games @60fps but unfortionately it is a problem that is affecting the user (thats me )
ive had alot of other issues
here are some more i forgot to list
No heating with camera but majour heating just doing random tasks:
Camera apears to take photos in a very red hue
There is a Gap on the top left of the screen too
some others, too tired to think
Same problem here with the haptic feedback. It happens cuts out now and again while typing but seems to start working again on its own after a few more presses.
Not overly bothered as am very happy with the phone otherwise so won't return it to the manufacturers until it packs in completely within my warranty period.
I have got slight gaps on the screen on the bottom left and top right and maybe a slight off centre rear camera but if I hadn't known to look for these I wouldn't and don't really see them as a problem.

Agreed, I don't think it's a hardware problem to be honest so we will see what happens when it gets updated a little more as I've seen some people with this problem.

Yeah if I shake it it goes away but It could be voltage output that's making it worse or something, I heard the motor is actually easy to access and replace so if it comes to that I could to that possibly. I haven't factory reset it at all and I upgraded my firmware and it's worse then the one I had on stock... Odd to see so many people with this issue though.

No it seems like a lot of people to having this issue as far as I know. I'm gonna just deal with it for a while if I have to... Coming from the m8 which had even more quality control issues and going through like 5 of those.. Kind of tiring lol and I guess you can't strive for perfection although this should be fixed... Maybe someone can call Sony and chime in and let us know exactly what's going on and if they're aware of this issue.
