Random and Useless Thoughts on Everything
My iPhone won’t vibrate any more.
Suddenly, I noticed that I was missing tons of calls. I just assumed it was due to poor reception at work, but the other day I had my phone in my hand while receiving a call, and noticed it wasn’t vibrating any more. I tried resetting the phone, removing apps, restoring. Eventually I just gave it a good hard old fashioned whack and the phone started vibrating when I called it again. In looking at the apple support fourm, I guess some other people are having the same issue. I’ll probably take it in to the Apple Store to see what they say, but this is not a good sign for an 8 month old $400 phone.
UPDATE: Now that I think about it I don’t believe it is vibrating as strong as it used to.
UPDATE2: I made a post to the Apple support forums saying that I fixed the issue by giving the phone a whack, but they deleted the post claiming it was bad advice. I can see their point.
UPDATE3: I posted this 3 years ago, and it is the top source of visits to this blog. Bumping this to the first page since many people found it useful.
YESSSSS OMG my it workedd !!!
omg im so happy i thought i would have to bring it to the shop and pay a ton to get it done. i was worried Thankssssss:
Thank you! It worked!
When u say a good whack like what did u hit it on ?lol . Because I want to try it but don’t want to hit it too hard or not harm enough
I tried using the iBrate app and I can hear it clicking as it vibrates a little . Should I keep whacking it? Although I’ve tried several times?
Thank you sooooo much!! A whack worked lol I only did it gently and it just started up again. Yay.
i reccomend not doing this if your iphones back plate is off, your cameera will fall out like mine did
So a hard reset. It fixed it for me.
