Vibrate Problem

[LiquidHonesty]

I have a fairly new 8525 (bout a month old) and the problem is it hardly ever wants to vibrate when I get a new mail message. It will at times, but it never wanted to vibrate upon receipt of a new email message. I just figured that's how it was supposed to be until I installed a trial of Wisbar Avanced and it had a setting for "vibrate" to turn on in it...and it worked like it should. It would vibrate anytime I got a new email, even if the screen was off, the device was locked, and i hadn't touched it in a while.

I removed the trial, and now I can't get it to vibrate at all....anyone have any ideas? It's annoying, I want my vibrate back!!!

Well initially you need to pin down whether it's a software/registry setting problem or the fairly commom hardware problem.

Can you reinstall the trial of WA and see if this re-instates the vibrate function? I am of course assuming that the device is set to vibrate and that currently it does not vibrate under any circumstances including when st for phonecalls.

Correct, it used to only vibrate if it hadn't been locked/asleep. With WA is vibrated as it should. Now it doesn't vibrate at all..........

I reinstalled WA real quick after you posted this to try, and yup, it vibrates like it should with it installed.

Well at least we know its a software issue. I'm using my TyTn to post this so a little difficult to do searches on registry settings for vibrate, but will check later or you could try searching meantime.

After searching the registry and such, no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions?
