Xperia Z vibration problem (experiment was done and detailed explainations given) - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I realized that my Xperia Z's vibrator will stop working after an "intense" work or overheated...
for example, i turned on the "vibrate on touch" option, and then keep pressing any key (let's say the Home virtual key), i can feel that the vibration strength will get weaker and weaker, and finally stops.
at this point, the vibrator wouldn't work, no matter how. Neither in Service Test, switching on/off phone (i believe these cannot be altered by the user)
Then if I leave the phone there for a while, the vibrator will start working again, and if i repeat the experiment (pressing Home key), the number of times the phone would vibrate is fewer ( e.g. the phone vibrated ~30 times before stopped working at the first test, then it stopped working after ~10 times at the second test).
Interestingly, the vibrator would work again immediately if i shaked the phone (even straight after it was "dead"), but the length of time it came back "alive" is even shorter.
And it seems that the vibrator functionality also depends on how i hold the phone... by making it flat (screen facing sky), the vibrator seems to work better and longer.
I also found that the vibrator would stop working when the phone is being charged, but i am not so sure if it was caused by charging or the heating up of the phone as it went quite warm when charing. When I unplugged the phone, the vibrator didn't came back alive immediately, so I washed it with cold water (hey it's water proof !) and the vibrator worked again!
I have tried Factory Reset, and re-installing the firmware via Update Service but the phenomenon still exists.
It's kind of weird, and i hope some technitians could give reasons of this behavior. To me it's like the vibrator needs some time to settle down, the damping isn't efficient. Or, the current is too high so it cuts the flow to the vibrator for safety reason?
maybe some xda developers could check the codes and see how the vibrator behaves?
I hope there isn't a faulty of my phone, I really don't want to send it to the service centre for a body-check....
Thanks

I'm facing the same problem, the vibration works occasionally , and there is a lot of people with this problem, I will wait for now waiting a fix, some people here confirm that the problem disappeared after 2 days of use. How old is yours?
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app

new update:
i did some more tests. and i found that:
1. vibrator stopped working during charging once the phone's temperature rised above 30 degrees (actually vibration kept working for a few times before completely dead). and even it then cooled down to below 30 degrees, the vibrator was still dead (still in charging, cable plugged in). and vibrator came back alive immediately when unplugged (at this moment the temperature was 28 degrees). but if the temperature went above 30, unplugging wouldn't bring the vibrator back to life, and i had to leave the phone there for a while.
2. at any temperature, continuously pressing the soft keys (with haptic feedback switch on) VERY quickly (i mean like pressing it 10 times in one second that quickly), or just go to Service Test -> vibrator and set the vibration time to something LONG (e.g. 90000), the vibrator worked for a while then died. then if i gave it a break (~10 mins) of gave it a shake, vibrator came back alive again.
3. no matter what caused the death of vibrator (point 1 or 2), if I could cool the phone down very rapidly, i.e. I put it in cold water, the vibrator would come back alive.
4. the cooler the phone is, the stronger and longer working time of the vibration (as in point 2)
so i guess it's the temperature that causing this problem, seems like a hardware issue (because my X10 doesn't behave like this), probably the circuit isn't connected properly.

mine is nearly a month old. i didn't notice this problem until a few days ago. so i cannot comfirm if it was already like this when i bought it.
i think we should gather all the complaining posts of this issue and send it to Sony (at least before we send it to service centre for repairing).

push up

i have this issue on italain xperia z... very annoing problem...

Any new update? Any fix? I don't want to send my phone for 2 weeks to fix this

I have the exact same problem.
Can someone with a custom ROM confirm this? I'm wondering if it's hardware or software related.

@ hamud.q
After one month of waiting, finally the phone will be replaced with a new one! Apparently here in Bulgaria in the service dоn't try to fix the phone (if it's a hardware problem) and directly replace it with a new phone...

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

The problem exist especially when you are charging. It occur also when you put your phone to sleep while running on GPS. Very fedup with it.
It is categorized in Freeze and Reboot Problem
It's the first stage of that problem, if you continue using it, you will suffer the reboot problem

solution to some bsod models. Tested, working!
Many p990 bsod models have faulty soldering of some sort. A solution which have worked for many is to simply plug in your charger. When your phone goes to sleep and doesnt wake up when you hit the power button, just leave it be for 12+ hours. Place your phone on something soft as well, like your bed. This will heat up the device and fix the faulty soldering. If it does not work, try longer period of charging. Good luck. (I will take no responsibility if this does not work as planned)
This was tried on a bsod model which went to unresponsive sleep every 5-30 minutes. After this procedure it was faultless

I've had my LG for quite some time now and I still trying to figure it out. So, if you're patient enough, please, just bare with me for a while as I explain what I've tried so far what what were the results.
A lot of people complains about this phone... unstable, crashes, reboots, BSOD, etc...
The first problem I had, came with the stock ROM... after a while the Wi-Fi just stopped working and it would display "Error..." as a message. The only solution was to reboot. 3 or 4 days after I had bought it, this was already killing me... so I started trying other ROMs but all seemed to suffer from some sort of problem except for one (see phone info below), which I've been running since June and I find it impeccably stable I can basically keep my phone running for as long as I want, as long as the battery doesn't run out (obviously), which brings me to a second point... battery drain!!
The battery drain was the only problem I didn't manage to find a solution for... and after a certain while, even though my phone was stable, having to charge my phone every single day was becoming very annoying.
Since I live in a different country than my GSM operator, it doesn't come as a news flash that network look-up has a big impact on the battery life, specially because I live close enough to the border to be able to keep the signal but in some parts of my house the signal is lost forcing the phone to search for a new network, which sometimes it finds (roaming) and sometimes it comes back to the original network and so on... However, what I find, unarguably, to have the biggest impact on the battery is having the Wi-fi enabled when there's no available network, it's just huge, it can suck up the battery in a few hours...
So, I decided to try some of those power management apps such as Locale, Green Power and some other, in order to minimize these problems, but curiously, they all caused the same problem... BSOD within a matter of minutes. I installed the app, configured it, waited for the phone to go into sleep and puff... it was gone. The only way out of it was removing the battery. I uninstalled the app, and the phone was stable again... this happened with every single app of the kind, that I have tried.
At the moment my phone is as stable as it gets but if I don't pay it enough attention, the battery dies in a blink of an eye.

Touch screen going CRAZY

I think I have the weirdest problem with my Sensation XL.
It works fine and sometimes, when I unlock it, the touch screen goes into super frenzy mode and starts doing things on its own. When it's stuck in that mode, I cannot use it, and it clicks buttons around randomly and very fast.
I have seen it open my messages, swipe a long gibberish text and send it (!) or this morning it just opened contacts and deleted one!
I am pretty sure it's all in random because on the keyboard I can see it swiping very randomly around the screen and in a very fast speed.
What on earth is this and how do I stop it? It almost looks like a virus or some sort of spyware but I checked and see nothing malicious installed.
The phone is about 8 months old and is not rooted. Latest firmware installed.(4.0.3 Android version).
The crazy behaviour did not coincide with any updates in software. Just started 3 weeks ago randomly and happened maybe 5 times till now.
The only way to stop your phone going mad and doing something you don't want it to do is to quickly rip the battery off, because you are unable to restart it from the touch screen.
It only happens after you unlock it, not while you're using it and I noticed it happens after a long period of inactivity.
Has anyone had that? Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you

Lock the screen and open it again. If this doesn't stop it could be a Hardware problem
I also had some problems like this on the original firmware, but rarely, it got fixed when i flashed Incredibly Cool Sense v3. You should lock the screen not to rip the battery off, as it's faster and it should work

I don't think it's a hardware issue cause the phone works well most of the time. If it was hardware the problem would be permanent, not intermittent and especially so occasional.
Must be something software related, I did add a lot of games to the phone recently but the problem happens even when these processes aren't running in the background which is puzzling.
Locking and unlocking the screen postpones the problem, it doesn't solve it. As soon as the screen is unlocked, it immediately goes crazy again.
I can only solve it by pulling the battery out, and FAST, before it sends crazy messages to my contacts

Welcome to the club. I had that same issue. But after a hard reset everything is fine with mine.
I assume that there was an app causing all that. If after a hard reset still does that you should send it for repair
If you have a screen protector its can be a main reason for this. To stop this behavior you can use power button and wake up it again. Some htc devices have the problem with multi touch screen
Issues of production. Clear the screen products with some alcohol and see than.

You can't! There is no way you can find out which one is causing that. Maybe it's some update from something that is causing the freezing.
Last night i did notice something else though. My battery was almost empty and i took my gf charger. She has S2 and after i charged my phone it has started to act strange......... Even today after i pluged the phone to install something from the PC it didn't even notice that i have connected it to the PC. Took me about 20 min in/out to get it running I clean the usb slot every week so it is not a dirt issue....
it happens with me when there's water on the screen

Be careful from contiouas pressure on screen it may drive it to behave strangely .
Try to use lock code before putting the phone into pocket

Definitely on to something.
It has happened a few times when it was drizzling and there were tiny droplets on the screen (not proper rain).
It started acting up when I was swiping the screen against the tiny droplets. After locking it, it would stop responding...
Most of the times I find it either non reponsive or acting weird after I take it out of my back pocket and try to unlock it.
Maybe being in my pocket, even locked, affects it somehow.
Is it easy to put another Rom? Do I lose all my apps?

sorry to bump an old thread.
I have this problem on a bashed up screen. however... I don't think it can be hardware because if I hard reset its then OK on the next boot...
we need to learn more about touchscreens - how are they calibrated? I think it is reset on boot and also on each lock
Its the LCD ribbon touching the metal housing, short circuiting the screen, easy fix with a piece of tape over the ribbon
Edit
Also, once the phone heats up resistance builds up with it causing the issue

Softkey Vibrate

Does anyone know what determines whether the softkeys vibrate on touch? Turning volume down to silent doesn't change anything but I've noticed that sometimes there is no vibration and I can't figure out the reason.

Firstly I'll monitor exactly what I'm doing when it next happens. I'm not rooted or unlocked yet so I guess it's nothing I've done (unless it's an app, if that's possible)
Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk
Right, so it's been almost a week. Unfortunately, I'm still having problems with no obvious explanation.
I soft-bricked my phone a few days ago so I've completely reset it. I was under the impression that it was only softkeys and haptic feedback that was being lost but today I'm sure a couple of time I've received messages without vibration (phone was in my lap and I can see the screen turn on but felt nothing).
My friend on his One X told me he often loses softkey feedback and haptics but that a message always brings it back. So until today I was putting it down to Jellybean (there seems to be a lot of S3 users with same issues too). Some S3 user reported that turning battery saving off has brought back feedback but I've not used stamina or anything like that, might there be something enabled by default I want to get rid of?
I kinda want to install CM10.1 to test on 4.2 but I'd need unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure how Amazon feel about that.
The motor seems to be ok... It sounds like a Bee or some paper trapped but from what I read that's normal because it's a thin phone. It's loud too.
When using the Service Tests area it seems to work without fail, but I need to test that after it turns off.
I'm still having this issue and I'm almost certain it must be a hardware fault.
Am I right in thinking that if I run a vibration test in the service menu then no system or app settings should prevent it vibrating?
Sometimes it fails to vibrate even in that test.

I had a weird issue in the car the other day
I was using the USB plugged into a Fiat 500 which has the Blue & Me system. I wasn't particularly bothered about having sound through the speakers, I just wanted to charge.
The stereo turned on anyway, and I was having random directions given through the stereo, with the Highlight Video music in between!! And then the ACTUAL directions coming through the phone speakers. I just turned the stereo off but it was really weird

I've had problems with random restarts and WiFi not connecting/WiFI settings freezing. Not allowing WiFi to be switched off during sleep seems to have cured it.

Phone in pocket after call
I am surprised no one has reported this annoying bug:
1) Have the phone in the pocket
2) Listen to music via the provided headphones (same if you use bluetooth)
3) Someone calls you and you answer via headphones button
4) After you or the other party hangs the phone, the phone turns on in the pocket.
VERY annoying!!! Please report this bug to HTC (I already did)
Otherwise I just LOVE this phone!!!

Keeps saying to use supported cable or doesnt detect my phone at all. It wont even charge through the wall power point using the adapter and cable provided. Ive attempted using other micro usb cables from previous devices and still no luck. Only way to charge my phone is using the extend battery pack.But have to restart my phone before charge otherwise it wont detect usb connection.
I also unable to copy and transfer files from my phone to pc also due to the usb cable and detection issue.
Has anyone else here experienced the same issue?
If so,how did you resolve the issue?
ive contacted HTC Support and still waiting on a response.

Sounds like you have accidentally bent some pins in the connection, potentially hardware not software related. I'd return for exchange.
2G connection issues
I have no idea whether its my ONE's problem or of the connection provider........ I cant use my 2G connection, it connects and disconnects at its will........Is there any way to test whether my ONE has any problem?
Strangeness with touch screen sounds
I may be the the only one.... but I like a click sound when the touch screen is presssed for a command. This works alright on my Sensation (pyramid) but not on my new HTC (M7).
There is sometimes a very very faint noise about a second or more after touching the screen for a command, kind of a delayed reaction? Anyway no amount of tweaking volume controls or using any sound mod produces a decent loud click sound. I revert any tweaks after experimenting with them.
Setup; HTC M7ul - ARHD ROM (12 currently)
Any information on this would be gratefully received!
This has been annoying me for the past week...
When I make or receive a call people tell me that they hear me far away. People cant tell its me on the phone! Gonna try to clean the speakers with a toothbrush but this phone is fairly new, bought it in September...
Push Bug (Whats app, sms), htc stay in standby
Hey,
I'm new here and i hope, this is the right forum for my problem
I bought me a htc one a few days ago, and i've already root it, unlocked the bootloader, set it s-off. my recovery tool is twrp-2.6.3.3, and i have the ViperOne 4.3.0 with ElementalX-m7-10.10.1. for the rights management i use LBE_Security, exactly this Version: LBE_Security_RC_5.1.5446_A1_EN_VI_1st_12.20.2013.
Sometimes, 2-4 times/day, if i write with somebay via sms or whats app, and my handy is in standby and i get the message, my handy vibrates and the LED blinks green, and when i try to unlock it, with double2wake or logo2wake, my handy vibrates, but my display still is black, like it is still in standy. Music works, i can turn the volume higher or lower, and i can keep klicking the power button or double2wake or logo2wake, but my display didn't react. It only vibrates, wenn i click use double2wake or logo2wake. i have to click the power button and the lower-sound button to reboot my handy.
First i thought, maybe it is the kernel, because i used undervolt 800 and max cpu 1890mhz, so i install viper new and the kernel new, but without undervolt etc., everything stock. But the bug is still there. i have the same bug, if i start the camera app and close my htc via the power button, but without closing the camera app, the bug is there, too. this is something i can live with, but not the problem with push messages.
And i don't know how to contrain the apperance of the bug. yesterday i installed everything new, and i install lbe security master, too, but i think, i forgot to give him superuser right, because today apps pushed me things, but they weren't allowed to do this. maybe it has something to do with the bug, but today i realised it and set lbe as a superuser and then the bug appeared again. before that the bug didn't appeared. maybe it was coincidence, i don't know.
all i know, is that the bug has something to do with sms and whats push, and i'm not 100% sure, but i think it's not the fault of the kernel elementalX. Maybe it's LBE or Viper Rom's fault, or may something else.
Do somebody please help me? This bug is very annoying me and i don't know android very well, it's my first android phone.
And excuse me for my bad englisch, i am from Germany and i wasn't good in englisch in school

Sounds like you've set your minimum frequency/screen off to too low, increase it to around 800Mhz and see whether you face the same problems again.

There's a fix for the camera bug in Venom Hub/Addons/Other
Thank you for your answers
@spiralOut
Thank you, this add-on fixed the camera bug, I hope, it fix the other too
@n1234d
Do you mean the undervolt option during the elemtalx kernel installation? Because first I choose 800kHz, now I choose stock, I think the stock is higher than 800, right? And the bug still appeared.
And what I forget to say: I used the swift option from HTC, that i can write with swiping on my keyboard, maybe this has something to do with the bug, now today I deactivated it.

[Q] Weird noise from either the speaker or vibration motor

Has anyone else been having weird noise issues with the phone when using the on screen keyboard with haptic feedback enabled?
occasionally, once every 5-10 letter inputs the phone produces a weird noise (similiar to the noise the phone makes when it vibrates, but louder with slightly higher pitch). I only began to notice this after the latest update.
It sounds like it is coming from the speaker
Mine started a few days ago with the same funny but annoying noise. Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. It was getting louder and louder so I just disabled haptic feedback altogether.
Hi , had the same problem, a month ago. Turns out , as per Sony repair center the vibrator motor was not in place. Turns out this was all bull****. Cause they could'nt get it right , and had to replace the phone eventually.
Same problem.....

Oh snap, I've still been using my phone with that problem, but I think it may be software related because it started after the 4.3 update and also sometimes it stops works altogether but if I restart my phone, it's back to normal.

I had the problem when I first bought the phone, although I don't hear it anymore now though. Maybe the "motor" got into its place when I dropped my phone onto a concrete floor.

Hi Bro,
Personally , i would take it back to Sony. Started off being an intermittent problem on mine, eventually no amount of reboots or flashing 4.3 or 4.4 ftf would stop the noise.
I assume Sony know , its an issue so that's why they swapped my phone without question.
