Default Need help getting my phone to vibrate again

Ever since i went to "Swiss Cheese Samsprint" EE03, my phone won't vibrate. I'm back to ACS now, but also tried urban legend and get nothing. I've odin'd back to EE05 twice now with no luck. I even tried the EC05 that's pre-rooted to see if there was an issue with my EC05 tar.Anything else i can do or is it a hardware issue?

There was one time when it did start to vibrate again when i reflashed "Swiss Cheese" but once i rebooted, it never vibrated again. It's been weeks with no vibrate at all. Nothing else i can think of to get it to work again.

Why do you want your phone to vibrate so badly eh?? Lol, jk...

Seriously though, you mentioned how you used odin to go back to stock EE05, and pre-rooted EC05. Have you used odin to go back to perfectly stock EC05? If it doesn't work after that, I'd take it to the Sprint store and have them look at it. Vibe motors could have gone. Who knows? And since you'll be rocking the stock ROM, you won't have them looking at you funny like if you were to bring in a rooted device.

You can do so many things with the vibrate, just try it, hahaha.

Yea, i did go back to stock EC05 with no luck. But i can't stand stock so i'm back to ACS and tried flashing several kernels to see if that would help. It's odd, over the weekend i lost all ringtones, system notifications, system sounds. Basically, none of the sound worked besides media. I reflashed the twilight zone kernel and that restored the sound.

Since backing up in titatium in EE03, i can restore anything to EC05. Is that common? It could also be because i went from ext4 to rfs back to ext4.

I had a similar problem a while back. Mine would only vibrate for phone calls, but nothing else. My solution is here:

@ the OP - is this development or a question? There is a question mark, so I would guess it goes in q&a

Wish people would start thinking before they post.
