Anyone experiencing vibration not working after a few weeks? Mine stopped working again, and is frustrating when you only use the vibrate profile. The only fix is to factory reset the phone, which leads me to believe it's a software bug.
Any other fixes that others recommend? Should I warranty out this phone?

No, no problems here.
Thanks. Just a quick update, turns out my unit was defective. The replacement unit did not have any vibration issues since. Been running the replacement unit now for 4 months now. Working great.
^^ weird because I actually had my LG G5 replaced for a new one because of the vibration issues, and it seemed to be working fine for a few months, but just yesterday, it stopped working, as I was receiving a phone call, the vibration just stopped working. I performed a factory reset, made sure my vibration settings were on, and even tried turning it off and back on and taking the battery out and putting it back in, but nothing. I am beyond upset, If they don't give me a brand new phone this time, I will make sure they hear from me.

Hello
My friend got his Galaxy S2 today, but the vibration is dead, vibration settings is enabled and haptic feedback, but nothing works, tried wipe the device but still no vibration...
So it seems that it have to be sent back to repair... or do you guys know anything he can do?
Factory reset is about all .

I've done it 5 times, if you mean factory data reset via the settings.
no one knows what the problem is?
Your not the only one. My work colleague also received a Galaxy S II yesterday with no vibration working - he doesn't like to mess about, he sent it straight back. I'm starting to get really disappointed with Samsung, just like their TVs, constant defective units...
I have the same problem. Tried factory reset and installed new FW, but still nothing....

My opinion:
Sounds like hardware . And the phone I so new ,returning it is the only option.
I have the same issue. Just noticed that i my phone did not vibrate on an incomming message and could nog get it to work through the settings panel either. It's very unexpected. I didn't do anything with it recently and I did not drop it either...
Going to try a reset, let's hope this works! :-/
Just love the phone so i would hate to return it and miss it a few days!
Edit 1: Just went into Test mode (*#0*#) and the vibration test did not work here either.
Edit 2: Factory Reset (within the phone) did not fix it either, so now I'm sending it in for repairs. Let's hope I won't have to miss it for too long... :/
Eureka, suddenly i noticed that my phone's vibration ability was back when walking to a shop with my headphones in. It seems like the headphone jack somehow influences things. Maybe a bad connection between these components?
Maybe you should try this out to confirm this.
Iam also having same issue..got my s2 a month back...have u guys got any ideas to fix dis bug....
Make sure it's a hardware problem after testing the vibration by dialing *#0*# and test the Vibration tool.
Mine's just done the same this morning. Second time now I've had to take it back. *sighs*
Got it repaired at Carphone Warehouse, said they replaced the screen, which kinda perplexes me as I thought most phones had the vibrate motor near the camera?
I've been using my Galaxy S2 lately as music player and noticed that the vibration on my phone doesn't always work (not on messages, phone calls or haptic feedback), even though I have the setting to "always".
I've browsed around online and noticed that other people have the same issue. Most wind up sending their phones back to the shop for repairs, but I fear it is just a bug and not a hardware issue.
So instead I play around with it and just before I frustrated want to send it into the shop, I think I found out how to "work around" this problem.
So the problem arises sometimes after plugging or unplugging head phones into the phone. What you need to do is:
- go to "settings"
- go to "sound"
- play around with the vibration settings (and the order is of importance, otherwise it doesn't work)
* set vibration to "only in silent mode"
* set vibration to "never"
* set vibration to "always"
On the last selection you will feel already that vibration is 'back' (if you use haptic feedback).
Sure, it works, but it is seriously annoying. I do hope Samsung quickly sends a patch/update to fix this bug!
Vibration died on my phone also. The trick above does not work for me.
It´s no bug, it´s hardware related.
If you move headphone plug gently sideways, it´s starts to work.
I think it´s bad contact or defective part.
I bought used phone and noticed it when i was testing phone.
I had to return it.. (didn´t , instead got it cheap..)
I opened up that phone that i got cheap.
I can now confirm that in my case there where flat cable broken on vibration motor.
Ordered new one on ebay.
In my case this phone has couple dents on chrome.
I think that voids warranty.
But look at the bright side.
I can fix it and phone was 170€ which is pretty cheap for me.
I can get more for my sgs1.
Sgs2 is very easy to open, if you compare to iphone 3gs.
[old thread, i know, but it's exactly as my problem]
The vibration doesn't work for a few days now, it only works when i plug the headphone jack just about when it makes the click sound, if i unplug it or plug it completely the vibration stops working (tested via *#0*#).
So, how did you guys fix this? Seems like a hardware problem but could be software too.
I have the same problem and also in my case is a problem with the headphones connector.
Now I wonder: but it is a defect in GS2 all or only some?
Had the same problem.
Just put my headphones in then while pulling out headphones jack switched silent mode on/off and it seems to fix problem. Maybe the problem is about shorting some contacts on headphones jack (in my case vibration turns off while headphones in) because of condensate which occurs while you carrying it in your pocket or maybe as Buffalee said its about broken flat cable who knows .
Hey guys, I've been having a weird issue for the past week now. On Mean Bean 3.09 every phone call I take or make ends up rebooting, usually within a minute of the call going through. Now, I also noticed that my proximity sensor now longer works and the screen remains ON during the calls no matter how close my face is to the sensor/screen (I am not a ghost).
I have tried completely wiping to factory multiple times, and flashing different roms, including basic rooted stock roms. All now have this same issue where my proximity sensor does nothing (screen stays on unless I hit power button during call) and it reboots the phone during all my phone calls. Anyone have any idea what's going on, and suggestions on how to fix? Thanks!
You may want to look at the firmware version you are running.
Just an idea, never had that issue before.
Captain has a very detailed list of them here
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
I guess at this point it cant hurt.
So, seems it was a hardware failure. Took it into sprint and they had to order a replacement phone, there goes 50 bucks =/
At least its fixed

Holla fellows, on my LG G5 I am facing a very bizarre issue. When I activate my speakers my microphone stops working. when on earpiece they work like a charm. Also microphone didn't work when used my other applications like skype or hangout, but while using earpiece they are perfectly fine. Anyone else got this issue on G5 or anyother device ? Any suggestion or advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same issue. Literally just got the phone 4 days ago. Pretty happy about it. Have you reset?

Yes, I tried resetting via backup and restore under settings menu
Reset mine and thought about the mic being housed in the battery holder bottom part. Why not take it out and clean connections....mic works great now. Dunno if from reset or alcohol cleaning connections. Give it a shot.
Same here i purchased the phone on 5-5-16 it will reboot on its own almost everyday till 5-19-16 when it completly just gave up and wouldn't turn on. So i went to tmobile and they replaced it for a new one. But now the replacement gave up yesterday 5-28-16. It has managed to turned on once but the device was too hot that i turned it off to cool it down and it wont turn on anymore. Sucks that is long weekend and i wont be getting s replacement soon.
I too am having this issue, however mine has one other weird glitch. If i put the phone on speakerphone and talk into th phone like normal (phone up to my ear) i can hear myself in the phones speaker faintly and the mute button does no work at all. Works fine on normal mode but not on speakerphone. To me this is a software issue vs hardware issue, I bought the phone second hand so I dont really have any warranty. Anyone have anything to offer up to try? Ive tried a different battery module base and no luck, same issues. Its almost like the phone needs a entire reflash done to it. Other then this issue the phone rocks.
The phone is a Canadian H831 model.
I had similar issue with older device. Read on some thread and they suggest disable Google now. It worked for that device. I am not sure if it will for you guys?

Thanks for the link @marac1993 will check
I had the same problem. It turned out to be a "hardware" thing. There are two microphones, one at the bottom of the phone which works when on earpiece, and the second one on the top of the phone (above earpiece) which works when on speaker mode. I cleaned the first one several times without noticing there is a second one on the top. It turned out that the second microphone was blocked by some dirt. I cleaned it and now it works like a harm when on speaker mode.
Hi. It has been 2 months since i bought my V10-H960A. Since last week, my phone has been not functioning well for some reason which i have no idea about. First, i started getting a battery error when i reboot my phone. It says invalid battery and turns off. After removing sd and sim cards and waiting for a while, it starts working again. But whenever i turn my phone off, this problem reoccurs.
Second, my fingerprint sensor does not works. It was working since last week but its totally gone. I havent done anything that can cause a damage.
Third, yesterday when i received a call, i tried to speak but i realised that the person that was calling me, was not hearing me. I was thinking that there was a problem with the microphone. Then i made a few calls and found out that, when i call someone, they actually can hear me if i put the call on speaker. So i cant be sure if the problem is with microphone or with sth else.
Lastly, my phone hasnt been running fast enough and were overheating during last week, probably caused by the problems above.
Is there anyone that faced any of these problems?
So I've been experiencing the same issue disucussed here on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/un62zy
Basically, after the phone has been one for a few hours to a day or so, the figerprint senor essentially acts like it doesnt exist. Even the fingerprint manager disapears from the system menues. Restarting the phone usually brings it back, but not always. I've seen some people attribute it to heat, but my phone rarely gets hot.
It really feels like a software issue. I contacted sony about this issue, and they say they are aware of it, but all they can really offer is to use the sony Xperia companion program to wipe the phone.
It might help to mention that i am rooted and unlocked bootloader. However, my phone has been for months before this issue started. I don't feel like those two things are connected.
It doesn't feel like a hardware issue. But does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
I have the same problem as you. Neither a wipe nor a different firmware helped me eventually.
I sadly learned to live with it.
Is it after a few hours no matter what, or have you noticed it stop working after charging? Cuz a bad charger can knock it out, though usually only while charging but it's possibly you have a charger that causes it to stop working until reboot?

I think for me, it is, no matter what it becomes faulty after a while, been using the original Sony charger + cable.
But I have a substitute that I can try, thank you for the info.
I've officially gotten to a point where neither a reboot nor safe mode brings it back.
It's such a weird issue. This phone won't be as easy to take apart as my previous phones.

I still hope that Sony will release a Software Update that fixes it …
Hello Everybody,
Same here, i updated to the last version 61.2.A.0.418.
I have the Xperia 1 Mark III UK version. I did a Factory Reset, and the fingerprint sensor works from time to time and stops working completely.
Then I did a hard reset and format, from Xperia Companion. Also with the same result.
It is the third time that I completely reinstall it using Xperia Companion.
- The fingerprint sensor does not work and if you restart the system it works for a short period of time.
- Another thing that I have noticed is that the problem that the Gmail application does not receive notifications of new emails (despite being turned on and configured) has also returned as it happened in other firmware updates.
- And finally, it only happened to me once but the notification LED turn on in blue light and did not go off until I did a forced shutdown.
I don't know what is happening, why this update has broken so many things. I hope sharing this will help others.
It seems to be an electrical noise design defect. My original Xperia 1 III rebooted if it had a fingerprint set, the screen off, and was fast charging with the factory charger. It self-destructed while sending it in for repairs and SBE made false claims that I had altered the firmware. I exchanged it and the replacement has issues too. I can pick up the phone off the table and it says the fingerprint reader is disabled from too many attempts. The touchscreen sometimes goes crazy too. Tap-to-wake is essentially run-battery-dead-because-screen-never-turns-off.
The other issues in this thread are software bugs, probably with the low-memory-killer. This is definitely not my favorite phone.
I have a UK 1 III and have not really had any problems with the finger print scanner, it struggles to open the phone if the screen is off, but if I pick the phone up and the screen comes on, it unlocks every time using the scanner. I have not modded the phone or changed software and have had the phone for just over 2 years.
Hi I wonder if anyone has tried to replace the fingerprint sensor and flex cable to try to fix it. These could be bought for like 10 dollars together in China so might be worth a try!
