OK I've had this issue for a little while since trying non-stock firmware but it seems really inconsistent. The issue seems to be network related but that's my basic diagnosis. The problem is that I seem to only get notifications if I wake the phone up to check manually.
The best example of this is using any Twitter application where I have it set to check every 15 minutes and it seems like half the time that works fine and notifications come through fine. The rest of the time, something that that happened not long ago too, I looked at my phone and nothing there. I opened Twitter app (I Tweet in this case), refreshed and messages from an hour or more ago popped up.
There's a similar issue I've had where notifications would be there but I wouldn't get the sound notification unless I wake the phone up where they'd be waiting for me. I put that down to using the Hero ROM though.
I thought it might be down to using the Hero ROM but now with Cyanogen's 3.8.9.1 the same thing happened. It's a big issue to me but I don't see anyone else having it. Any thoughts? The only thought I had on it is a data connection issue where nothing is pulled in regardless of settings unless I manually witness / do it. Halp
Damn, i thought i was the only one. I guess not, funny thing is im on JF V 1.51 ADP with HTC Hero theme V1.3.5. Same thing with me, sometimes the texts and other notifications come through fine...other times, i wont get nothing for hours and be like wtf, ill manually unlock my phone and as soon as i touch the button my phone starts vibratin, ringtones go off, a million pop ups and my phone goes nuts. I thought it was just me but i guess not, i wonder what this could be? Maybe its a specific something, lets see what we have in common...
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1
ROM: JF's ADP V1.51 Cupcake
Theme: HTC Hero V1.3.5
Text Messaging Apps: SMS Popup, ChompSMS
Facebook App: Bloo
Also, i have to re-do my email always after awhile because at first it will be fine and ill get the email notifications fine but then after a day or two it always stops working and i have to go through settings, into applications, then to email and delete cache/data. Go back into Email, re type my email, password and everything and then it just starts all over.
Little stupid ish like this is drivin me nuts.
Oh thank gawd.. at least we know that we're not going insane and imagining it! Unfortunately I don't see anything on the phone we have in common other than both ROMs being based on 1.51
Phone: Black T-Mobile G1 (UK)
ROM: Cyanogen 3.8.9.1
Theme: Running Open Home
Text Messaging Apps: None currently
Facebook: Spawn of the debil! Don't use it
I don't use e-mail other than GMail on my phone right now and that works fine as far as I can tell but I get so few e-mails I can't say for sure.
This is a known bug with Android, started before Cupcake. Reboot usually will fix it for a while, I usually reboot my phone once a week or so.
Hi,
I have an HTC One (m7) international version, and after 4.4 kitkat update, it slowly lost it's vibration and heptic feedback function until it completely stopped this weekend, even with power save mode turned off, and all the configurations properly set.
I've tried returning to my latest 4.3 jellybean nandroid backup from Dec-23, but the problem still ocurred.
After that, I've restored the 4.4 kitkat nandroid backup I've made this morning, and installed the "Vibrate Plus" app from the play store. After playing with it for a few minutes without any success, I've realized that the vibration function only works, with the phone screen facing down. As soon as I lift the phone from the table or turn it up in my hand, it stops vibrating.
If, instead of the "Pattern Vibration" function, I choose the "Simple Vibration", which keeps the phone vibrating constantly, I have a few seconds of vibration with the screen facing up, after lifting the phone from the table, until it stops working again.
---
I've found this single thread (URL = www (dot) htconeforum (dot) com /forum/htc-one-help/2341-vibrate-function-has-stopped-new-htc-one-m7.html) (can't post the URL here) where a guy has the same problem I have and had his phone replaced by HTC; but since Brazil does not have official HTC assistance, I probably am going to have it fixed myself, just as I did with my former HTC One X and it's GPS issue.
The problem is, I can't seem to find any other report from this same problem, other than this thread, and I also am having a hard time finding detailed instructions on how to open this phone for servicing, so, any help regarding any of these is really welcome.
Thank you very much, in advance.

Don't know why I pressed thanks button instead of quote. Ignore it..
Coming to the issue, did you the Trickster mod? You could set the vibration intensity there.. Install from Playstore.

Hi,
I've downloaded the trickster mod, and set up the vibration intensity to 3100 (max).
With this new setting, the problem seems to be fading away... yesterday, the vibration function failed to work only twice, and today, it has worked fine the entire day.
I cannot think of a reasonable explanation for this, I really tought it was a hardware problem, but it seems to be working a lot better now.
Thank you very much!!!

I guess it's still better to check with service center once, you never know it could be a hardware problem and you might get a replacement for this

Is it still working? Have the same problem here, but the trickster mod doesn't help!

After the vibration issue was solved, the earpiece became mute at random times during calls so I gave up from KitKat... too much trouble, not so much attractive new features.
I'm back with ARHD 31.0, Jellybean 4.3... it's perfect.
This version works fine for me.
After all the problems I've had, I think I'll never try to update my phone again, unless there's some sort of "killer feature" in the new version.
Good luck!
HTC One Vibrate not work - List of Solutions Hardware and softwares
I've searched for this and read through 23 pages on this device and didn't find anything about this.
I have this phone running 4.2.2 and activeroot.
About twice per day I will pull the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and in front of me will be some app that I didn't launch. Not only that, it isn't an app that has a shortcut or widget on my home screen. Usually it's a page of something that normally requires multiple clicks to get to. (clicks? Punches? Pokes? Touches? What's the right word here? )
For example, today I opened the phone and was presented with a list of wifi connections. That is buried in Settings/Wifi/Connections. And I hadn't visited that page EVER. In fact, the last time I was in the settings menu, I was in Settings/account/more/battery but I had since used the task manager multiple times to kill everything that needed killing.Yesterday my phone opened to my calendar settings.
This bizarre behavior is really annoying. It's like it has a mind of its own. The weird thing is, my girlfriend's S4 does this as well. She's been griping about it for 6 months but I just assumed that she was somehow mistakenly opening these apps since she can be a bit dingy with technology. I feel bad now because mine does the same thing and now I'm wondering....is there a fix? DId we both get bad phones? Should I exchange it for another? I'm having some other issues as well but I posted them as separate threads to keep things cleaner.
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
I have googled and searched everywhere and can't even find someone else having this issue. I have about a 2 week old note 8, and it happens any time, but I have made sure that it wasn't because the phone was locked, but for example, with the screen unlocked from the home page, I can pull down the notification bar, start scrolling down through my notifications and the whole bar will disappear, like I scrolled from the bottom to close it but didn't. Sometimes I swipe it down and it closes immediately, other times I can swipe it down and scroll through all my notifications and it will stay open, and sometimes it will close as I'm scrolling. I would think it was an issue with the touch sensor on the screen but in no other app does it randomly scroll anywhere. I've tried restarting the phone multiple times, with no fix. It just started doing this either yesterday or the day before and I can't think of any apps that I installed that would maybe cause anything like that. I haven't completely reset the phone because I don't want to and it would be pretty bad to have to reset it after 2 weeks.. Does anybody have any other thoughts or similar thing happening?
Is it possible that you have the fingerprint unlock set to allow you to pull down and push up the notification shade?
There is already a thread discussion for this. You are not the only one with this problem, I have it also.

thanks for the update. Didn't see that thread before. Looks like its not an isolated issue then..
I am hoping this will be a firmware/software issue. I currently have very little installed on my phone, so I am thinking it's fixable.
