Hi, so I was just texting with my phone using switkey and the vibration suddenly stopped. No vibration, so I thought it was a normal issue and the vibration would come back after a reboot. The same thing happened to me once, and it was fixed through that. But this time, nothing...It doesn't even vibrate when it boots, recovery mode, nothing. I'm running on Insert Coin and I have had no problem. And I haven't dropped the phone dangerously, I even have an otterbox to ensure its safety. But why did it stop vibrating?Is it a hardware issue? A software issue? Please help. I need the phone fixed by tomorrow, this is really important. I'm selling it to a friend and I need it fixed fast. Please help me.

If it does not vibrate on boot, it's a hardware fault, sorry.
I had the same, it was repaired in warranty.
If u still have warranty, use it.
Thanks guys, even though I had the vibration issue I still managed to sell it for a good price. I bought the phone off Craigslist so no warranty, and it was rooted so yeah. Thanks anyways guys. I appreciate the help. And especially the first dude who replied. That test mode is gonna prove really useful when buying a phone off Craigslist.

Well, sometimes when somebody calls me or I call them I can't hear anything and they can't hear me, so need to reboot, after that all is well for some time...
Anyone has a fix for that, or know how do repair it without reboot??
Thanks
maybe a software is the cause? I remember when I was on HTC, there were times this happen to me - a hard reset solve the problem for me though.
Thanks, I'll try that... Since you are the only one that replied

thanks let me know if you found out something!
some people have reported problems with the noise cancellation. try turning that off.i think the option is available once the call is started. if so, you could try covering the top microphone hole.
I have this issue also. For me I most notice it when I am calling someone over bluetooth. All of the sudden it will just become silent. I hang up and call back with bluetooth turned off and everything is silent. I can tell that the other person answers the phone because of the screen but it's silent and they can't hear me. The only thing that will get my phone working again is a reboot.
I'm on rocketrom v20 btw.
Can this be fixed with an update?
I'm planning to switch my S3 for a white model that doesn't vibrate no matter what. And he/she isn't the only one with a non vibrating XZ.
Also how does the screen compare to S3 bar viewing angles.
Exynos S III @ 1.2GHz, CM10.1

Never heard of that issue, at least I don't have.
As for the viewing angle, there are plenty of reviews and videos out there which are self explanatory.
Not vibrating issues? Elaborate... Was it like that out of the box, did it work at some point and now it doesn't? Give us some more info than just saying "not vibrating".
If it didn't function out of the box, return it.
If you've rooted it, and flashed a ROM, and it doesn't work, go back to where u came from.
In case it doesn't work after that, yer outta luck. Luckily I never had to go to a repair process.
Screen subpar compared to others? That was highlighted in many reviews before the phone was on the market, so if you did not pay attention to reviews, that is yer own fault.
Plus you had time to return it after the initial purchase.... Assuming that it was purchased in a normal fashion.
And please. Not specifying an issue does not actually help. It adds to the general confusion.
Is like stating that the volume on yer tv doesn't work, without stating how, and since when it happened. Could be a "person in chair" symptom as we perceive it in the IT world....

Device is pure stock, never modified. C6603 model no vibrating. Seller claims since day 1 after a few hours (it did vibrate initially). I've seen a couple of threads on xda with same issue to no avail.
Don't know what over info to provide. It's not my phone, I'm planning to buy
@23Six
Do you have Stamina Mode on in your C6603? Try switching off, restarting phone. Also, through service menu, does the vibration work?
I'm afraid of asking the seller to do these things, fixing the phone and potentially losing out one one hell of a deal!
I'm buying the phone online. Local pickup.
Mate it is a hardware issue.. I faced this since when i opened the box. Dont waste time and ask Sony/Seller for replacement. I have already sent mine..

I would advise you not to buy the device then. Just my 2 cents....
Is it normal that the vibration intensity rises when you press the touchscreen repeatedly ? I mean if I dial a phone number very quick, or just press one number on the dialpad I can hear the vibrator going faster, is this normal?

I had similar but then realised I was being rather stupid (although you could argue the design is somewhat stupid...). Basically, when you turn the volume down all the way, there's 2 modes. If you go one click past zero volume with the rocker on the side of the phone, the phone should vibrate to let you know it's in silent and vibrate mode. However, if you click the volume down again, it shuts off all sound AND vibrations. So what I was doing is just mashing down on the volume down button and not realising I was shutting off vibrate.
Guess I'll just have to send the phone in for repair. I'll hold for now because I'm in live with this phone.
I got for an S3 trade + £0.00 !

When you say vibration, do you refer to vibration as haptic feedback or the one when you receive a phone call? Have you checked the setting?
You also might want to check if it's hardware or software related. Go to hidden menu (3845#*880#), ELT test, choose Manual mode, and choose Vibrator. If it vibrates, you can rest assured it's software related. Reflashing your phone might just fix it.

Hi everybody,
The vibration motor of my SGSIII Mini stopped working. It happened after I updated the Recovery to TWRP v2.7.1.1 by NovaFusion.
* CM 11 by NovaFusion [20140724]
* TWRP v2.7.1.1 by NovaFusion [20140720]
Flashing a stock ROM did not fix anything. Maybe pointless but also tried to flash another Recovery. Nothing changed.
Does anybody have an idea how to bring it back? Should I go for a vibration motor replacement?
Thank you!
Does it still vibrate when you turn it on?
I mean that little vibrate before bootlogo appears.

That vibrate is there to tell that bootloader is loaded, before os loads, so if no vibrate is there then it's probably the motor or a loose connector to it.
Unless you got warranty left you could try to change it. They're probably cheep on eBay.
Otherwise take it to service.

Nope. I have to find some time and give it for service. What happened with yours exactly? Do you have vibration when the phone powers on and boots?

I don't know what happened to my device, it just stopped vibrating out of a sudden.. Maybe the device felt upset because it knew that I want to buy another phone.. :laugh::laugh:
Just out of a sudden no vibration during phone calls, messaging, power on / off.. My device is rooted by the way..
Sometimes, the vibration came slowly when I received notifications, but then disappeared again.. I don't know whats wrong.. maybe hardware related..

Hello,
Both the earpiece and the other speaker suddenly stopped working on my nexus 6. I am suspecting it is a hardware issue since I performed a hard reset but the issue still persists. The odd thing is that both the earpiece and the speaker are affected at the same time. Are they connected to each other?
Is there any way I can make sure that this is indeed a hardware issue before cracking open the phone?
Thanks

Hello had the same bug super user app libs was away no root from here to now did nothing.reflashed super su, without super user app like supersu or magisk it dont work for me. hope i can help.
Another question, some times i turn on my display an for 3 sec i had more than max brightness, like a sun, no auto adjust always 20%, may the old nexus now die hard, hope not
Before I opened the phone, I'd boot to safe mode and see if things work. If they do, reboot and see if the problem comes back. Booting into safe mode disables all unnecessary apps, clears caches and resets settings to default. Sometimes that resolves your problem and on reboot things are working again.

So I guess it sounds like hardware. You might take s close look and see if there is damage/dirt in the jack making the device think the headphones are connected. The pin is easily bent and wears so it's probably just that. ifixit has a repair guide.
Alternatively, you might consider Bluetooth headphones [emoji4]

Thanks. I don't think it's the jack issue because I installed an app that shows a headphone icon in the status bar when a headphone is plugged in and it doesn't show it when nothing is connected.
Do you know why both speakers ceased functioning at the same time AND if there is a way for me to direct audio to only one of them, either the earpiece or the speaker, to see if one or both
are dead?
wow. I reverted back to an earlier build from Feb and now it's working. Very interesting.

First, sorry to hear about your problem. But, I am actually happy to see this up at xda. Tell you why. I purchased a uesd nexus 6 from a seller on ebay. Description was everythings works. Pics showed it was in excellent condition.
Problem was when it arrived. I discovered the top speaker was trash. Total robot like voice. Of course seller denied any knowledge of it. My option was to return it to him. But judging from the way he spoke to me. I could tell it was going to be a fight. There is no way he did not know about this. I wound up eating the phone and am currently awaiting a new top speaker. So, please dont forget to ask about speakers if buying used. My concern was body and screen. I never thought to ask about speakers and I never thought there would be crooks like him. Wrong...

It is interesting. Is it possible you had a mismatch between kernel and security updates? "Newer" kernel on "older" ROM? Or vice versa. The difference doesn't have to be more than one has a security update that the other didn't.

Know this is an older thread, but just figured I'd post what I found regarding a similar issue I had. My phone basically took a 3 second dunk in the sink. Everything seemed fine the first hour or two, then the speakers stopped working. However, it seems like the speakers failing is some kind of water damage failsafe or something. The solution is just to turn your phone off and on around 5 times (I can't remember the exact number, but once or twice won't cut it), and you will have the speakers return to normal. Not sure if the OP had the same issue, but just an idea in case something similar happens to others.
Bumping an old thread but I had this same issue and had to flash back to previous builds. I stopped updating my phone around Jan/Feb. Tried to update to the Aug 7.1.1 build and the same thing happened again. I didn't try the turn on and off 5+ times, I'm just once again restoring my Jan/Feb build.
Can anyone else confirm this "fix" or has this same problem?
I'd boot to safe mode first. If it works then, it has something to do with an app, your app restore process or something like that.
