Hello,

I'm starting to have some issues with the vibrator on my 8525. It is starting to become very very weak. It feels like the more it vibrates the weaker it gets.

However sometimes when i beat my phone on the palm of my hand like a pack of cigarettes, the vibrator perks up again but only temporarily.

Do I need to replace the vibrator?

The fact that tapping the phone on your hand improves it is proof that the two spring contacts need tweaking out a little:

How far should I bend the springs out?

Not far just a little so they make a better contact with the m/board.

I'm surprised no one has said a joke yet.

As he "beats his phone on the palm of his hand" I guess he still needs a vibrator, however, if he went about things differently the vibrator would be obsolete I think!!

maybe you just need to beat it harder.
