Vibrate wont work anymore..at all?
 
So ive had my N900 for maybe 2 or 3 months now, with minimal problems. But today the vibrate just stopped working all together, up untill now i havent had any problems with the vibrate. Vibrate is checked in both profiles but nothing, not when receiving txts, calls, boot up or when performing a health check. Vibrate did however work for ONE message after it stopped, then stopped again right after that one. Its really annoying as i like to keep my divice on silent and this makes it a little hard haha.
If anyone could help that would be great

Hi,

When you tap on your screen, does it still vibrate or have you disabled that?

I had it turned off (just to save battery) but then when the vibrate played up today I turned it on just to see if it would work and got nothing?

Have you installed any apps recently, maybe that has done something :x. I'm not too sure sorry.

You can try to remove the battery for a few seconds and turn it back on. Are you sure none of those apps have control over your notifications? Calls etc..

Yeah I'll give that a go, happy to try anything atm. Yeah 100% sure.
It just vibrated on a txt i received, it sounded really labored, like you'd imagine a phone would on low battery, but it's on full charge?

The world cup app Pelota was known to cause this problem quite often. Try to remove it if you've still got it installed.

I haven't had the problem, but there's been other threads in the past. You may want to try this suggestion from MohammadAG halfway through this thread:

Hey there..thanks for that sadly I'd already checked it out, that's where I heard about the healthcheck app lol
The problem their sounded a little different to mine anyway, cause they have a "slight sound but no vibration" I get nothing, like all that happens is the notification light flashes blue, no sound or vibration at all?

When you restart your phone do you get the vibration
sudo killall Xorg ?

No water damage or anything, if so your vibrate motor might be gone? Did healthcheck say anything about it? :x in dire circumstances maybe a factory reset?

Nope none, it's my baby lol
Nab it didn't, just ranthe vibrate test but didn't say anything about it
Dunno I might take it into nokia care, wanted to try and dodge that though just cause it's a pain

That might be the best thing lol, I wouldn't play around with it just in case it makes it any worse.

Hmm yeah i guess, where did you buy your phone from? was it outright from like Allphones or a contract?

MohammadAG had a very good solution once.....
Run the vibrate function from the command line and leave it on, eventually it managed to unsettle his vibrate and it started working again... (Sometimes it just jams).

(To be run from x-terminal)
Code:
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:PatternIncomingCall
(I think thats right, been a while since i had to write it down! - twill be in the h/c code anyway)

Note - you will need to de-activate or reboot to stop that command - (Change activate, to deactivate!)
