Loose vibrator connection?
Idk. Sometimes I will tap the bottom of the phone and it will work for a brief section. Maybe rooting and installing a ROM might help? Lol
What system app controls that anyways? Maybe clearing its cache or debugging in SDK could help

Your vibration motor needs to be replaced.
It's a hardware issue.
Then if its a hardware issue, why does it still work occasionally ?

It's a mechanical thing. Rotor gets stuck, you tap at the bottom of the phone, rotor gets unstuck, till it gets stuck again.

You can try disassembling it.
It has a double sided vibrator.
It should be soldered onto the board. If it is not or if it moves, then this might be your problem.
Just be careful while disassembling.
I'm always looking for an excuse to disassemble stuff. :laugh:
Kinda afraid to disassemble it. Especially if its soldered on. Idk what to do...thanks for the insight.

The vibrator is marked in the picture. It can be seen as soon as you take off the back cover.
If you can't replace it by yourself, have it replaced by a service centre.
Wow. Thank u. I been searching for this. I watched a video on YouTube and it looks like a pain to get cover off

If it works sometimes,could it may be not seated properly? I would assume that if its faulty,it wouldn't work at all
Oh. Phone is fully stock jb 4.1.1

Hi!!!
My camera LED is lit all the time, even when the phone is off. The only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. what's the problem?? shortcircuit?
Also my phone doesn't vibrate at startup
No idea, sounds like a fault. Have you tried running something like hTorch to see if that can change the state of LED?
Failing that, battery out and back to the shop, imo.
yeah, tried htorch and the only thing happend is that the led gets brighter. but it cannot be a software fault because the led is lit when the phone is off
well having the light on that long will have destroyed your vibrator so that explains why that doesnt work - if you try performing a hard reset and that doesnt work it must be something other than a software problem unless you have had this problem since you first got the phone (i'd use a stock rom just to be sure)

I just checked if it was htorch that was on when i first saw that the led was lit, then i turned it off right away, but maybe it was on in my pocket or something because i opened it and the camera LED "holder" has melted
yeah, i'm on stock now, same problem

im no expert but that must mean there is some sort of hardware problem or a loose connection or something because if flashing even the stock rom doesnt fix it then it cant be a software fault - i'd try and get a new one under you warrenty if you can

Look in htorch threads. There are people who fix this opening their phone and moving something. It looks pretty simple. You can watch the youtube tutorials..

Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards
Lucas

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.
Worked on MANY electronic devices over the years.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !
ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance

Have you tried to reset phone? If that doesn't help, try factory restore
mine plays up. im stuck on cyanogenmod, cant go on other roms or even stock yet -.-
Basically it stops working or certain parts wont work, I would then press the power button (to put screen into sleep) and then wake it up then it's good again. very frustrating though.
I have a long pattern to unlock my phone and sometimes it won't work because certain parts of the screen isnt working. It's not physically broken I think, because all it needs it to be turned off and back on then it's good to go.

No. Turn off fastboot in power menu, then turn phone off and turn it on again. That should do the job. I had that problem either, but very, very rarely.

Probably it hardware problem rather than software, but you should try factory data reset first (settings, sd& phone storage). There is possibility that some app caused this.

Delete the picture of the contact and see if still the same. Or call from your home and see if still the problem, if not probably the picture compromise the resolution.
The picture used to be normal, no matter who phones me now it's squashed lol!
Maybe a factory reset will help.

Hi,
no, i do not have apps from other sources. all are downloaded from the play store. I did consider this but dont like it. I'll prepare myself mentally for a hard reset i hate this part because of the backup and data loss and evrything.
Thanks.
i am experiencing the same issue since a couple of months.
i now tried to disable the swipe up on home button gesture, though i really enjoyed this feature. will report back if the issue is gone...
EDIT: issue is still persistent.... any other ideas?
It seems it is a hardware issue, so i don't think it is possible to fix it. Just turn on and off the screen.

Hmm, I did turn the "Tap to wake screen" on and this seems to have solved it for me. No need to factory reset. :highfive:
I didnt have the nerves to debug this issue and got myself a pixel 3a-XL. There was a promotion and i got it for the price i bought my n7+ back then.
what i will do now is a complete factory reset and see if it solves the issue with the screen. If not, i will mention this as well, besides the damaged charging port, to the warranty service.
I will report back once done. Could be next month tho.
Cheers
I got this problem too, after the october update. Some people at not a forum they have it even since august security patch.
Hmd is a joke same as this phone. This phone should have been rock stable, but is not. There are software and hardware issues that its hard for me to recommend this phone to anyone. Or any nokia phone with android.
