My 3g iphone can't vibrate when sms or call come in although i set the vibration is on for both silent and non silent mode...
Have anyone meet this problem before? What can I do now? Pro give me some advise...

New set?before this it able to vibrate?

is your unit JB?

yea..new set..before this can use..and it is JB using Quickpwn..

if i were to make a guess, (assuming that you have not dropped your iphone or had an impact on it prior to this), i would think that the JB app modifications could have messed up the main frame.


to eliminate this possibility, simply do a complete a restore without using the backup and set up as a new phone.

have you restarted?

Of couse i wont drop my babe!
so mr rabbit u means i need to restore my iphone again?
sorry..
what u means by simply do a complete a restore without using the backup and set up as a new phone.

say no to JB

i fully restore still cant...zzz
duno what is the problem

If even after restoring the problem remains,most probably should be the hardware problem already.

are you sure a new set? Or already used by others before. Not vibrate nothing to do with JB.

you sure you only use it in appropriate way (*cough cough)?

anyway kinda scary to hear this issue, although i'm not iphone user (probably soon-to-be) and not iphone expert either so wish you good luck.

ealier before jb it was fine n suddenly after jb was nt working...n after restore still not vibrating...
then u hv 2 call crxr...hardware issue...he can most likely solve it...
it is a very weird prob ya...

enter DFU mode to restore, this will ensure any previous modification to system file will be replaced using original....and don't use restore from backup

example of modified firmware symptoms after normal restoring/upgrading an official firmware/custom FW, u'll still get some of the setting of ur previous firmware, such as MIM, numerical battery etc...even on non-JB FW

so use DFU mode to restore

@geo-milano
This might not be a hardware problem. Did u install something from Cydia (or installer) to modify the vibration pattern? This could be a corrupted SystemSoundVibrationPatterns.plist in the Celestial.framework. Try replacing the plist file with the stock ones and see how it goes. If you restored the phone but sync the old setting then that should answer the question why it still persist even after restore. Syncing with old preferences/backup will copy the old (corrupted) settings (plist files) back to the phone.

Aiyaaa ... one more post. Break vows again.

means i should not using restore mode thru itune? I'm using iphone firmware uploaded by apple.
I don use any to do with my vibration part...
to DFU pwnage still haven out, only can use quickpwn, but quick pwn only for JB..issit have any other ways?

u dont need pwnage to enter dfu mode..., u will still be restoring it from itunes, but ur iPhone need to be in DFU mode...google on the steps required for DFU mode...i believe iclarified should have a guide on it

@Geo-milano

If your phones still doesnt vibrate after those method described by others,im sure its hardware problem already.
just go lowyat and repair it.there is a shop in the 2nd floor that repairs iphone.
