Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
It's most probably a hardware problem, check your vibration settings, check if mce is running (LEDs when charging etc...).
If mce is running and vibration isn't working, it's a hardware problem.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
What is "mce" .....?

In the profiles i have checked(switched on) the vibration buttons for both profiles

Does the LED light up when charging?

disabled in settings?

Healthcheck will do a vibration test for you :D

MohammadAG 2010-04-28 15:27

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Sounds like a hardware problem, download HealthCheck and check if vibration works.
If it doesn't, it's a hardware problem.

(BTW do you hear a click sound and a squeak when it vibrates? Might be similar to my old problem)

thecrazyw 2010-04-28 15:34

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
No it isn't disabled .....

thecrazyw 2010-04-28 16:15

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
if i want to install the app (with appmanager) there is a request for the 3 files above ... ( some files are missing: libqt4-core; libqtgui4; libqt4-core )

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
thats a bit odd, was my assumption qt came on the devices..... hmmmmmm will look into it.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Disable extras-devel if it's enabled.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Does it hum shortly when being powered up?

A standard N900 will hum on boot. When off, hold down the power button. While LED will fill up and when it's done and the device starts to boot, a short vibration should take place on all configurations.

This is regardless of settings and MCE service. If it doesn't, it's likely stuck/broken.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Disabling extras-devel helped to install.

Now i have made a vibration test.

But then i can hear three times a quiet sound but no vibration :'-(

I had that problem on day 2.
A month or two later I connected it to the charger and ran this in terminal (will activate the motor with the same pattern as an incoming call.
Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request  com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:'PatternIncomingCall'
The next day it was working.
Keep in mind that it might not work for you, but it's worth a shot.

Edit: If that doesn't work I suggest taking it to a Nokia Care Center.

I forgot to say I left it vibrating over night
(before some smart*** decides to make a joke I left it on a desk in the other room)

@ OP it's a hardware problem, either something is in the vibration motor or it's completely dead.

Oops
Code:

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Used the script as well, after 5 minutes the phone went vibrating again! Thx

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Hello, I did all what you said, and nothing I let the function just for a half of hour but nothing just the same sound that it makes with the health check. I just buyed it 2 weeks ago on september 29. I haven't dropped it, actually I have been extremely careful with it.

well, I just want to know that if when you put the code, the vibration started immediatly or is it why you let it all the night over your desk.

Hope you can answer my question,

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
After today's CSSU update my vibration stopped working and instead the phone produced a high pitched noise. The above script helped unjam the motor inside my N900.

Useful tip: while the command was running I 'hit' the phone against my palm several times to help the process - after 10 seconds it started vibrating again. You should be careful while doing this to prevent damage to your phone and only hit it on the bottom (not back).

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
I knocked mine 5 of times on the each side and it works again :D
Seems to be some hardware issue on mine.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Yep, it still works, only I had to hit it like twenty times:-).

Yes, I've put mine in the pocket with the command issued and ran to the university - vibration problem got fixed. I suppose, that the command is not vital, maybe you just need to shock your device (however, the command is likely to increase the probability of unstucking dramatically)

You just saved my life!!! My cellphone is alive again, thank you so much!

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 
Still, if it's the dust that makes motor stuck, it would be better to open the device and clean it. If you have tools, skills and patience to do it. Who knows what this dust gets up to inside the device... You do not want dust mites, do you?

Thank you. Best wishes.
