Galaxy Gear vibration failure

Hi everyone,
My GG was on null 10.1 working fine. This evening i realised that the watch was not vibrating at all.
I restarted. No vibration.
I wiped. No vibration.
I am now downloading the stock firmware and am going to flash via odin because i think it is a hardware failure and the watch needs to go to service point.
Anyone with similar experience?
Thank you in advance!

Yikes, Try flash stock rom.. HOPEFULLY IT WORKS !
Otherwise sadly, looks like a defect.
Sorry couldnt be much more help!

Thank you mate for your time and everything you've done that made the Gear a better device.
Will post back after flashing stock.

Flashed stock and the vibration still is not working. Didinthe *#0*# test and it does not vubrate at all.
Very displeased with that.
Off to the service point.

I am having the same problem. My gear isnt vibrating. Any luck getting it fixed?

Mine just started doing the same thing as well. And vibration test did nothing.

[Q] battery died?

hi guys, I have some problems with my phone/battery i'm using rimmer's aosp atm but it is surely not rom related btw (I've already done some troubleshooting myself!)
well the phone (xperia T) started suddenly to shut down itself randomly. i did many tests (i was afraid about the phone sdcards at the beginning), then i noticed that if i keep the wall charger connected the phone never shuts down, so i think i have a died battery? do you agree?
only solution take it to the service centre?
thanks in advance!!

May I ask, how old is your phone?

less than 1 year old: i bought it exactly 9 months ago ;(

hmmm possible, but I'd expect 2 years shelf life. Well who knows how long it was laying on the shelf.
There were some defect battery reports with reboot symptoms.

Thanks. Yes I remember someone reported that, but here it doesn't reboot, it suddenly shut down. then I reboot, and it shut down almost immediately after the launcher start up. If I reboot with charger plugged in, it stays on...
It seems to happen especially when battery is around 50%, and not happening when battery is fully charged..?!
Well will try soon if that will happen with stock based too, if so I will restore the backup TA, flash a stock FTF and then go to service.. ;(
Thanks again bye!

I have similar problems , does/did your phone shut down if you open the recovery ? , did you fix it ?

phone did shutdown suddenly when it was on, with any rom i tried. but strangely, in recovery it didn't shutdown if i remember right, in fact i could try different roms and don't remember it shutting down while in recovery.
brought it to the service, they replaced the battery, and problem was definitively fixed this way

Did it help for anyone to flash stock?
I got the same problem and i would like to know if it fixes with just going back to stock.

when i had the problem, no matter what i flashed i always had same problem. i also had it with full stock and bootloader re-locked...

I have just tested with a spare battery i had, and that worked. So it is the battery.

I resolved changing the battery. Going to stock doesn't unlock the situation.

So we can pretty much conclude that it is the battery
You can also feel it that your battery is getting hotter then normal or if you take it out it you can spin it like spintop

Yes! The dame thing! I ordered new battery and now the phone it's OK!

Just got a random reboot.

I was in settings/storage, and tapped on apps. The phone lagged then opened the apps section. I tapped the back button and then the phone shut off and restarted. I am rooted, twrp recovery, but using the stock rom.
Has anyone else experienced this at all? Wondering if it is a widespread thing, or not.

Cool story bro

I've been getting way too many random reboots. Something as simple as turning off wifi or turning it back on will cause it. I'm not sure why it does it and I'm fully stock, unrooted. I've seen suggestions about clearing the cache and I've done that, but the problem continues. I'd say it does it on average once every couple of days.
Now that's a cool story, bro.

That stinks huh?! Unfortunately though if you wanted someone to truly help figure that out you'd want to have a Log of some sort

Have you tried just saving all your stuff and wiping the phone clean and starting fresh?

I've thought about wiping and starting over, but I'd rather find out that it's a known issue with a fix before I go through all of that work. It's not like I've been flashing ROMS and messing around with the radios or anything like that.

I didn't think about that until after I posted. I totally spaced on that.
I was more wanting to know if it was a widespread problem. I didn't word my post very well.

Hey it's all good! I wasn't scolding you or something.. I've been there myself. Hop on here and try to explain something that just happened with my phone and while I'm writing it... Think to myself... Guess a log would have helped lol

Random Reboots

Note 4 has been randomly rebooting lately. Just today it's happened at least 3-4 times randomly throughout the day, even when I wasn't using the phone. Is there any way to pinpoint what exactly is causing the random reboots?

Sounds like a kernel issue, have you tried a different one?

Has the OP rooted his phone? Not every XDA member roots,

Would flashing another kernel help? Sorry I should've included more info! I currently am rooted and I am running rapture rom which is based on stock NK4. Other than what the rom has to offer the only other mods I have installed are surround sound, camera quality mod, & xposed framework

Most likely Surround Sound Mod, a lot of reboots, hang/freeze issues associated with Surround Mod....
Good luck....

HELP!!!Voice call and echo 😐😐😐

Guys I need help,when I made voice call people can hear echo when talk to me on phone,but I speak normal and everything is clear?Can anyone give advice?

Try turning the incall volume down a bit. I usually have the reverse issue and that squares things away. Might help for your issue as well.

Uhm.. If its so as you said; probably carrier or hardware issue. You better try(if not yet) another sim etc.
In case; the same issue occurs for me, and some users who uses T-Mobile based rom on their international variant devices. When in a call, I dont hear an echo but other people hear their voices again. Never mind sitriw, you knocked-out me No idea.

Un-rooted device... I just prefer you to flash another available firmware or if you dont mind Knox; root it and flash custom roms/kernels etc. Trial and fail method.

Same issue here, except it's with Salt Mobile here in Switzerland. My impression is that while in handsfree mode, the microphone picks the voice. Looks like a very cheap hardware that is not capable of delivering a proper user experience

I've the same issue I think it's a nougat related bug as It exists on Rayman Lineage OS 14.1 and N-DroidMod ROMS.
I hope that won't be a Hardware issue
