HOX Vibration problem - HTC One X

What's up guys, i'm new here . Three days ago, HTC sent back my phone after a checkup for a vibration problem. They said that they did a software update (false, it was already 1.29.401.11) and sensors calibration. Yesterday, the phone stopped vibrating again. What should i do now? I think that is a software problem (stock rom, never rooted). I'm sorry for bad english . Thanks

Don't think you can do anything much other than give it back and ask for a replacement as it's the second time this has happened... Also, try doing a factory restore and see if it works.

I dit it, but this should be the third time that i send it to assistance. The first one was for a g sensor problem, resolved with a replacement of motherboard, but when i sent it the vibration worked perfectly, i suspect that they broken my phone.

mine keeps vibrating every 30 min or so
i cant figure out what's causing it any suggestions what it would be ?
not a incoming email vibration notification , not a wi-fi drop out vibration notification.

They actually scammed you by saying they updated it(when it was updated already like you say) You should go back, yell at them and take out some frustration if you wish =P
Don't root your phone to install another rom, try fixing it as is on stock rom.
I would try these:
1)Factory Reset
2)Update to latest FW
3)HTC Diagnostics Test (Has a vibration test)
4)Haptic Feedback On(To see if it vibrates on typing and tapping and such)
5)Phone Ringing with vibration
If any of the above work, then its definitely a software problem.
If they don't, either way you have to go back to HTC. Try getting a replacement. Say you're tired of coming back again and again to get your phone fixed, "Give me a replacement or My Money back"
I read another post a few weeks back where the user was experiencing these mechanical sounds on haptic feedback(I also have that problem) but his vibration stopped altogether. He got his HOX replaced.
Anyways Good Luck.

I don't recommend hijacking the thread, create your own thread

Sorry I'm probably stepping on his thread too, but please point in any directtion before I have an inoperable phone and a hard time getting HTC to cover.
However, I an issue that will f-up this phone I'm afraid. I have on a daily basis what I would describe as an alarm of some sorts (can't duplicate) that runs about 15 seconds once to twice daily at full vibration. Not rooted and have reset 3 times.
If you've ever run a battery drain program with full vibration on. Not good for the phone. I'm at a loss in this one, really dreading tech support or my local store. Will run the HTC diags but any other ideas greatly appreciated
No receipt, no box and I traded for it on Craig'slist 2weeks ago..

My friend had the same problem with a HOX - it wouldn't vibrate at all. He tried doing a factory reset and playing with settings, but nothing worked, so he sent it back and got a replacement. I'm not sure you can do anything about it since it's likely a hardware problem.

Vibration doesn't work

Hi. I've had my Desire for some weeks now. But some day or two ago the text vibration stopped working. It's only the vibration when I get a text that doesn't work. When someone calls, feedback when I'm writing also work.
Anyone of you that know what it could be? I've checked settings etc.

I had the very same problem with my first Desire on a week or two after I got it. I tried literally everything. I called HTC they had no idea what to do nor how to fix it. So I called T-Mobile (who I got the phone from) told them about it, they couldn't fix it either so I got a replacement phone.
Seemingly there is no way of fixing it. The motor is fine, but something is bugged. Perhaps one of the more astute Desire users (using custom ROMs) may be able to shed some more light on the problem, but as far as I know, it is unfixable.
Ok. I guess I need to contact the store I got it from. Thanks

This is a known issue which means the text vibration stops working when the battery gets low and it doesn't come back after charging the phone.
Download and install sound manager from Android market, use it to turn on text message vibration and it'll all work again for you. Best of all It's all completely free.
Let us know if it works for you like it did for me.

I installed sound manager after, I observed that the vibration does not work on my phone.For the beginning all was OK,I began testing and saw that from 5 calls 3-4 are without vibration and 1 is with the vibration,though the vibration is on from phone settings and sound manager.I didn't try to factory reset the phone because I would lose everything .Any ideas would be appreciated.
I had this problem a while ago. Download 'Sound Manager' from the Market, and there's an option in it, 'Vibrate Always' or something. That did it for me anyway, hope it helps you

@BUTCHER0123
I had an intermittent problem with the vibrate function after about 6 months. I sent my phone back to HTC. Initially they replaced the motherboard which didn't fix the problem. I sent it back again (set as priority) and they replaced the vibration module. It all works fine now. It's an option to consider if you can put up with being without your phone but I think it's worth doing.

[Q] [ TOUCH SCREEN PROBLEM ] Whats wrong with WFS ?

Dear aLL
I have been using custom rom (almost all of them) since i bought WFS, Recently it gives very annoying error like below :
Have to try several times to unlock the device
Some keys(w,r,a,d,c) are not working, after some while keyboard goes OK
The most thing is at some moment some place don't response while other do without any problem
Are these all of problem relate to custom ROM or my device getting an issue ?
If so, is there any tools/apps to check the problem finding/resolving ... ?
The problem creating very annoying situation when going to call emergency.
Give me a hand...
I know that there are a lot of phones like your's too
Same here
Same here.I am fed up by this issue.Never works when we are in a hurry. The problem became worse after the 2.3.5 upgrade with the new screen lock. The touch works absolutely perfect most of the times but sometimes it just behave abnormal.Does this have something to do with the internal memory ? .I am thinking of giving the phone to the service center to have a check before the warranty is over. Sometimes if the hands or the ear is wet with sweat the screen gets wet and that will affect touch response but cleaning it seldom helps. sometimes cleaning dust near the sensors helps. Wildfire s owners please share your views.Does rooting helps ? seems not from the OP
Sounds like a hardware issue.
When I first got my wildfire s, I had to get a replacement sent the next day, my problem was when charging, the touch screen would totally do its own thing eg scrolling, selecting icons all by itself, if I tried to scroll or swipe it would go mad and do completely messed up things.
Unplug the charger and it was perfect again, I read some other forums different HTC phones have this issue and seems to be an issue with the phone not being grounded properly.
My replacement was and still is perfect.
If you are still in warranty I would send it into HTC to be checked and repaired.

What do you mean by flash the system.
My WFS behaves the same way, cleaning cache partition and dalvik cache helps but after few days problems show up again: it it very hard to unlock the device, if for instance I ulock it in the phone app, the phonepad wont work. I have to returrn to home and press phone again and then it works. It is very annoyng anyways. Rooting and flashing a custom Rom did not solve my problem.

I would say its probably faulty hardware, if you still got warranty I would suggest using it mate.
I do not think it's faulty HW, actually I did send mine in service and after they did a factory reset the unit was working fine. As I mentioned, after wiping the cache the phone performs very well for a few days, then it starts playing crazy.

Did they fix it? It is very hard to replicate this behaviour. The moment you do a full wipe it is good for some time. All the service centre in Romania did was to re-install the rom and they said it's good...

Get to service center . I think, you couldn't fix it at home.
As I stated before, I already sent it to the service centre. All they did was wiping the device and reinstall the ROM. Does anyone have an explanation as to why the digitizer is sometimes broken and sometimes not?
Clearing the cache solves the problem temorarily, so I don't think it is a HW problem, but maybe I'm wrong...
I just don't wanna go through the trouble of unrooting and returning to stock if I don't have to.

i have a strong feeling that this has nothing to do with the hardware.That is why it works "most of the times". The main problem is that we could not replicate the problem to show to the service center people. It happens most of the times but sometimes it will work when we are about to show the problem to somebody.I am on stock 2.3.5 and the problem is a constant head ache for me.I love the phone otherwise,its an awesome phone....

[Q] Update caused slow camera start from lock screen and slow to turn on

After upgrading from 4.0 to 4.1 I found that my phone won't switch on until I press the power button three times although sometimes it does switch on first go. Then, I installed the latest OTA patch to 4.1.1, software number 3.14.401.31 (international version) and found that accessing the camera from the lock screen, with security pattern enabled, is very slow. That is when you drag the camera to the unlock ring and release, the lock ring pauses for about 5 seconds before the camera starts up. This didn't happen before the last update.
So far I have taken the camera out of the unlock bar and rebooted the phone and turned off geo-tagging photos. None of these options helped.
If I turn off the pattern unlock then accessing the camera from the lock screen is normal so this appears to be something to do with accessing the camera with the pattern unlock enabled.
Hi,
I have encountered the same thing - seems like you're the only one who has reported it on these forums so far. I hadn't tried disabling the pattern unlock, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. But I'm quite unhappy about this new bug that just came out of nowhere with the 4.1 update, especially knowing that the camera quick start was one of the features HTC boasted about so much!
Yeah, not much on it at the moment but the upgrade is quite recent. Hopefully more people will find this thread and we can get some traction.
Same problem here, me and my wife. Wery annoing!

No factory resetting my phone didn't work. HTC rang me back and said that I need to return it to who I bought it from. In other words no fix and returning certainly won't prove anything. I think I'll just have to wait it out until it is fixed with another update ... hopefully.
Or maybe we should looking at getting an app that provides the same functionality?
Have te same bug guys :/

I tried the factory reset too, to no avail. Seems like disabling the phone lock is the only solution, but that's not really what I would call a satisfactory solution, since I'm using a VPN on my phone and that requires a lock + I just don't want to go lock-free.
We need this issue to be known to HTC and hopefully a fix will come.
Ps I don't think this problem was present in the JB update, but only came in the small FW update that followed.

Yeah it only came in the small update after the JB update. But another problem that I'm having is that to turn my phone on via the power button, sometimes I have to press the power button three times. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes after the phone has been off for a while, I hit it once and nothing, hit it again, nothing and then on the third press it comes on. I'm not sure if they are related to the "quick" camera launch problem.
One work around for this bug, if you use your camera a lot, is to leave your camera in standby mode. That is turn your phone off while the camera is active and then when you hit the power button it will go straight to camera. I don't use this myself as I have the lock pattern on to prevent my phone from turning on in my pocket which is common on HTC phones
HTC support are a waste of space
I have this issue too. HTC told me to factory reset it, then when that didn't work they told me to return it to the store to be sent away for repair. They really don't have a clue at HTC support.
The phone was returned to Vodafone yesterday and the repair centre said "no fault found" What are they on!!! The Vodafone store confirmed the issue was still there.
I now have the phone back with no resolution.
Going to call Consumer and get some advice.
I have this problem too, quite annoying.

[Q] Led Notifications not working

Received the M8 a few days ago and the LED works OK as it lights up on charging...BUT that's it no missed call or Email SMS etc.
Looking around various forums it looks like there are some issues probably software related as people have exchanged phones and still had the issue.
My question to you on the International version is anyone having these issues and if so has anyone found a fix.
Thank you

Can confirm this method works but should'nt have had to factory reset. I'm now resetting up all my phone . .just hope it doesnt happen again.
Must be back from google bug somewhere that messes up the LED's from working ?? But dont really understand how it would . .
I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.
For me the notification LED works from day one, did not had a problem, i did restore my apps from backup but i never used any other launcher so i cannot confirm that is the problem. But i believe it must be app related as its working for some and not for others, usually hard reset without restoring app brings it back. Strange...
When I was migrating my note 2 to m8 must have copied a new launcher . I have factory reset and installed backups manually all is good now

Everything I found says that there is no setting on the phone to change that. It may require a developer to patch it or give us some instructions on how to extend the time.
I'm also having the same problem with the LED notification. I really don't want to do a factory reset so i'm still hoping that there is a solution to this. The LED lights up during charging but does not light up at all for text message or email or other notifications. I'm using nova launcher so some are saying that it is because of these third party launchers that is the cause but i'm still wondering how can that really effect the LED. I hope somebody can really enlighten us on this.
I had this issue but only for missed calls. Other missed things would still notify. I did a factory reset and still have the same problem without doing any backups!!
I have the same Issue but I really don't want to reset the phone.

I had the same problem on the day I picked it up. Read about the factory reset and as it was my first day with it decided to go for it.
That did indeed fix it and the led started working as it should..... Today however, they have stopped again. I haven't installed any other apps and a power cycle doesn't help.
Don't want to reset it again so am hoping they fix this soon.
Any news on this? Really missing led notification

I installed Light Manager and i seem to be getting lights, however im getting random notifications with a vibrate and light when there is in fact no notification.
Mine seem to come and go, they worked after the factory reset for a bit I then noticed that they had stopped .
Now they are working again.... Seems very strange.

Yes, I'm in the US. I got my M9 from Verizon and since I was within my 14 day return period, I simply took it in to the Verizon store where I bought it, showed them the problem, and they replaced it for free on the spot.

i got the solution, this is crazy but works...
go to help app(the one htc pre-installed on ur phone)
then go to hardware misbehaving?
hardware diagnostics
G-sensor test.
test it once , or twice. let it say failed.
next from that screen tap on calibrate g sensors
do the calibration on a flat surface
go back and do the test. this time it will say it worked.
and acctually, it did work, my autorotate , riptide, dot-breaker, everything based on gyroscope sensor is now working fine !!

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought that phone two weeks ago but my mom dropped it on the asphal and scratched all the back last week when she tried to take a picture. Yesterday the gyro suddenly stopped working. The retailer wouldnt replace because of the physical damage. I tried everything without succes but then i tried your little trick and it work. Thank you!!!!
