Excalibur Vibrating problems...

[Nano3]

Hey all, I have Kavanas latest wm6.1 upgrade on my phone... For some reason my phone does not vibrate anymore, any way to fix this problem? Or is my phone jacked?

I'd bet it's a burned out vibrating motor. Check the Wiki, I think it has a link to figure out how to disassemble and motor's can be had for reasonable prices on eBay where people are usually selling broken Excalibur's just for parts.

That would suck... My phone is 2 weeks old...

ok so if you press and hold the "A" key ( also called the # key) for about 3 seconds and the profile changes to vibrate, the phone doesnt vibrate indicating the profile change?

No, my phone does not vibrate at all, i tried putting it on the vibrate profile, tried setting my text messages as a vibrate alert... nothing, no vibration at all...

what i mean was if you hold down the #(A) key it will put it into the vibrate profile and the phone will actually vibrate at the same time. which is different from when you manually pick the vibrate profile. i was wondering if you had done this yet. im not saying it will fix your problem, more of a confirmation that your vibrate hardware is fubared or not. so take your phone out of the vibrate profile, then press and hold your "#"(A) key until you see the vibrate icon at the top of your iconbar....see if it vibrates.... if it doesn't your, vibrate hardware is toast.

I guess my phone is toasted huh? I tried, it switched to vibrate... but no vibration... gah, whatevs...

my only suggestion for a last ditch effort would be to either/ and hard reset your phone/Reload the official WM6 ROM from your mobile provider.

If re-loading your stock official ROM seems to make it work again, it's up to you if you want to re-try kavana or rick's WM 6.1 ROM. If you do and it stops again, you may just end up being stuck with the Standard RO mon your phone or if the phone's new, you can complain to your mobile provider and have then replace it for you. (just make sure the official ROM is reloaded on it b-4 you send your in)

That happened to me as well. Turned out it was the vibrator motor that was slightly disconnected (probably due to a fall). Took about 5 minutes to get it working again. It's just a matter of opening the back plastic. With the right set of tools, you'll have it done and diagnoses in no time. Even if you need to get a new vibrator motor, it's pretty cheap. Just Google it around.
