After flash, no more vibration
 

I have flashed my n900 and after that the vibration wont work ???

Do anybody has the same problem or better the solution for that ???

one more help pleeeeease :confused:

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

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

"LEDs when charging etc..."
Does the LED light up when charging?

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

Yes, its lighting orange if its charging
blue if i have got a massage and green on fully loaded

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

disabled in settings?

Healthcheck will do a vibration test for you :D

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)

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

No it isn't disabled .....

i have made serveral restarts :(

how can i install healthcheck i need: libqt4-core; libqtgui4; libqt4-core

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

cant install it from app manager?

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 :'-(

Re: After flash, no more 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.
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.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

o, thats what hc calls.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

i think i have to go to a nokia care center

nothing helps :(

everytime only the same sounds

do you think that i have to delete the programms and repositories ???

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

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.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

better let him know the deactivate command for the morning :)

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

Oops

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

oh over the night ?

ok i will try it too

do you had the same problem that there was only a sound or was it vibrating a little bit ?

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

Not vibration at all, I'll see if I can find the old vid of it.

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

Yeah man !!!

BIG THX it's workin :-D

i didn't try over night only 5 minutes and then brrrr brrrr brrrr YEAH YEAH YEAH

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:-).

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

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)

Re: After flash, no more vibration
 

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.
