The vibrate mode on my phone will not work

[kaylamarie91110]

My phone will not vibrate on vibrate mode. It will not vibrate on the sound mode (which is what I have it set on). When i get a text or notification it has to be on full volume to make a sound or silent. It will not vibrate at all, not for a call or for a text.

Welcome to Android Central! Does it ever vibrate? Like if you power off completely, then power back on, phones that can vibrate will usually vibrate once as you see the bootscreen appear.

Or how about the keyboard? Does the vibration work with each keypress if you have that setting turned on?

If none of these work, then it is likely that the vibration motor is broken. Remember that it's essentially the only moving part inside the phone, so it's not surprising that it is prone to breakdown.

I agree with B. Diddy, sounds like the motor is shot. Here's a nice app to test all the "bells and whistles" of your phone...

how much does it cost to repair the vibrate motor.

Welcome to Android Central! I suggest you call up a cellphone repair shop and ask them for the general price range.

Hey I checked out the app the other guy suggested and it shows a check mark for vibrator..what should I do yo check if the motor's working or not?

 

[prolongExistence]

Hi. "other guy" here. If you actually tap the check mark then it will open to another screen where you can force the vibrator to vibrate. The check marks are just there on the menu screen to tell you which tests are compatible with your particular device.

In Samsung service centre, the vibrator motor costs 400/- and its warranty is 1month and for the service they charge 150/-.
In my case the problem is much severe and the engineer said that they need to retrack the connections, for that they charged 400/-

My phone vibrates whenever I get a email and when I tap the keys on the keyboard but when I get a text message or a notification it will not vibrate. I reset my phone and it started vibrating again, and then it all of a sudden stopped vibrating whenever I got a notification. How can I fix it?

Isn't that a bit excessive? I payed around 250 for my phone... I might as well just spend that money on a newer, better device.

Go under Settings -> Sounds and Vibrations -> Vibration intensity -> put notification the level you want.

My phone change this setting sometime for no reason... Weird :X

OhtNa

Actually he is talking about Indian currency. Which is relatively 1$=68rupees. 400 means 6$

I'm having the same issue. I checked everything that was suggested and I still can't get the vibrate to work for text messages. When I am adjusting the volume through settings, I select the phone to vibrate via the slider, and the notification slider becomes semi-transparent, meaning it is not available to be adjusted. Am I just brain farting here, or was it able to be adjusted before? I swear I had it to set vibrate when I had my ringer on vibrate as well....I'm using a galaxy s7 edge btw.

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

Its actually easy just go to to the settings---ringtones and volumes---just increase all the sound---other sounds---just switch all the buttons on and off---go back. And you're ready to go.(only works if phones vibrator is working)

I was having this problem and it wasn't that easy to fix. I had to look it up on Youtube to fix it. I can't remember what I did.
