Droid not vibrating?

So basically my Incredible only vibrates when it wants to. The keys vibrate from time to time when pressed, i havent noticed calls though right now is just the keys and i use the default keyboard.
Anyone experiencing this?

Mine does it sometimes to. It just gives the inc character lol. From what I can remember it's done it on every rom except sky raider and stock lol.

How old is your Inc? Mine is about 7 months old now and I am running into some issues every now and then where the vibration just feels dead. It also makes a weird clicking sound when it boots up. It may be a ROM that you are using or your vibe motor is just kicking the bucket.

I really dont know i bought it off ebay with a bad esn. But it was perect mint condition with the box manuals and evrything... Im running the Incredirom 2.2 and in fact the vibration does stop working because i often press the volume down button to put it into vibration mode and it does not vibrate when i put it in vibration mode. U know how is suppose to vibrate when u set it in vibration mode, it sometimes does not vibrate.

Ima try sky raider, but is it good?

It's stable and has some Cm features, it's pretty good.

If you're not opposed to upgrading, I recommend Pure Speed V7. It's a port from the evo shift also its 2.3.3. Your incredible's memory will decrease a little but it is solid and I have no issues with it on mine. But if your vibration still doesnt work, you have a busted motor.

Mine does this also. I have no idea why. I usually have haptic feedback off but when I do have it on it fades out every now and then.

I read a while back that your haptic feedback motor can basically be overloaded by heavy activity, and that giving your phone a firm shake when it's being unresponsive will correct the problem. it's always worked for me.

Didnt like Sky Raider, drastically slowed down my phone. Returned to stock 2.2. And yeah i think my motor is busted.
Lol and i tried shaking it and it works but i will look like an idiot shaking my phone every 5 minutes on the train or bus.

Landscape home screen?

Just wondering if there is a way to set the home screen to landscape mode without having the gameplay out?
* gamepad, stupid auto correct!

It's just a matter of programing it to listen to the accelerometer and trigger landscape when its over 50 degrees...now if only someone could do that

as stated before use a different launcher
pro launcher does it, etc.

In the US, if you insert power (micro usb) then headphones, it'll go into landscape... and stay in it some times until you cycle putting the headphones in and out a couple of times...
Actually rather annoying at times...
Another launcher is truly the easiest way.

How are these comments at all usefull? If everyones attitude was "use another launcher" or "use another app" nothing would get developed here, It would be full of lazy people using "other" launchers

This is possible, A team of devs managed to program the same functionality into the desire s's htc sence ports. At first only devices with H/W keybords could get it into landscape mode, but the devs programed it to listen to the accelerometer instead

Thanks for that Andro kinda got over it anyway, just would've been cool to do what my transformer does ie. landscape to portrait depending on accelerometer, and when I saw that the play changes to landscape with the gamepad out it didn't make sense that it wouldn't do it normally :-/

Maybe we will get it in the next update? Anyway I'm kinda getting into java, so I might try something, but it might take a while

Netflix not clear and buttons stay lighted up

Is it me or is netflix not that clear. Important watching via wifi and it seems to have tiny squares. Also the buttons stay lit up they won't turn off. Is there anyway to turn it off while netflix is running?

Buttons can be turned off via screen filter in market...bad quality is due to bad internet connection. Try moving closer to router or not covering up the bottom of your phone with your palm

I can confirm this, even youtube video look better than netflix for some reason

I was watching Netflix earlier, and I noticed lines, very faint but still there, in the whole movie...
Weird.

I have noticed this problem too from the very first day I got the phone. Netflix quality is miserable with very low resolution... it's not the internet connection speed (WiFi 30Mbps), and the WiFi signal is not being blocked or anything (did a Speedtest).
It's not the phone either, I had it replaced 4 times when I was trying to get one with good screen (I didn't, just gave up).
This problem is also present while streaming flash videos. The strange thing is that if you download the flash video (same one with the bad quality), and play it from the phone (using the built-in videos app), the quality is fine.
It's as if the video is not being smoothed when upscaled and played. I could see that very clearly when comparing the flash playback with the downloaded file; like a shirt collar for ex.
Maybe the built-in app uses some different method of playing videos?

+1 Netflix looks better on my g2x and my hd7 what's up with that lol

I can think of several reasons...
1.) We do not have netflix hd.
2.) Large screen with piss poor resolution.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I think those lines are the same lines that people complain about when the screen brightness isn't up all the way. But video sucks, now that you guys mention it about flash video on the web i have come to notice that also.

[Q] Measure Lag

Its well known that iOS is known for their almost lagless software. Android has had lag issues in the past and tries to remedy this by improving CPU and size of RAm. But i still sense lag when opening programs sometimes or unlocking my screen or even refreshing a weather widget. Galaxy S3 is supposed to be one of if not the fastest android phones available but still suffers from some of the same problems that the G1 had. O well...i guess google has to stick with the framework they've already written. It'd be nice though if there was an app that measured lag. I know there're several benchmarking apps that measure overall speed but are they any that measure response time of a phone? An app that maybe runs several processes in the background and asks the user to touch the screen. Maybe type a few words using the keyboard or open and close a folder or two...

What apps are you having issues with, exactly? What firmware are you running?

Hate to admit it but I notice lag all over this phone on TW opening messaging unlocking the phone and stuff, on AOKP no lag what so ever. I don't think its Googles doings or code. More so the carriers and Manufacturers that make these phones full of bloatware and their own code.

Unless im mistaken ios seems more 'lag free' simply because it will only run one thing at a time, it cant multitask.
Android can run multiple apps at once.
If android was coded with the same limitation as ios it would certainly feel even faster.

I don't even mind the minor lags. I do so much with my phone in surprised it doesn't lag more.
IPhones... i didn't do much with it really.

Not apps really...home button lag. Wake/unlock lag... honestly if my phone can play music while i run a game/ browser, im fine with not multitasking.
If you have an ipod touch or iphone, you'll notice that if you try to load a webpage while continuously touching the screen, the page won't load!! Its using almost of its cpu on screen sensors which equals no lag!

For home button lag, double press home then in svoice go to settings and uncheck open with double home press (or something like that)
The lag is because it is waiting to see if you are single or double pressing the button.

Since we are on the issue of lag. Xda has not been friendly to me since I got the phone. If I browse for more the 10 min. It's impossible to scroll through posts its like it ran out of ram and skips top to bottom when I scroll. If I keep trying it will FC on me. Running stock

Stock AT&T GS3 camera video "twitching"? (Resolved)

I can't seem to upload the video, pics only it seems, but it looks like its shifting left and right quickly while the video remains smooth. Like the player is going nuts or something.
I'm a floating space-cat Cadet.

It happens on mine only when the antishake is ENABLED. It's driving me crazy.

I talked to Samsung about it and they said it could be a software error and they want me to send it in for repairs. The shaking only happens when Anti-Shake is ON and it makes the video hard to watch, it kind of looks like a small earthquake.
