HTC One - Vibration stopped working after 4.4 kitkat update - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an HTC One (m7) international version, and after 4.4 kitkat update, it slowly lost it's vibration and heptic feedback function until it completely stopped this weekend, even with power save mode turned off, and all the configurations properly set.
I've tried returning to my latest 4.3 jellybean nandroid backup from Dec-23, but the problem still ocurred.
After that, I've restored the 4.4 kitkat nandroid backup I've made this morning, and installed the "Vibrate Plus" app from the play store. After playing with it for a few minutes without any success, I've realized that the vibration function only works, with the phone screen facing down. As soon as I lift the phone from the table or turn it up in my hand, it stops vibrating.
If, instead of the "Pattern Vibration" function, I choose the "Simple Vibration", which keeps the phone vibrating constantly, I have a few seconds of vibration with the screen facing up, after lifting the phone from the table, until it stops working again.
---
I've found this single thread (URL = www (dot) htconeforum (dot) com /forum/htc-one-help/2341-vibrate-function-has-stopped-new-htc-one-m7.html) (can't post the URL here) where a guy has the same problem I have and had his phone replaced by HTC; but since Brazil does not have official HTC assistance, I probably am going to have it fixed myself, just as I did with my former HTC One X and it's GPS issue.
The problem is, I can't seem to find any other report from this same problem, other than this thread, and I also am having a hard time finding detailed instructions on how to open this phone for servicing, so, any help regarding any of these is really welcome.
Thank you very much, in advance.

Don't know why I pressed thanks button instead of quote. Ignore it..
Coming to the issue, did you the Trickster mod? You could set the vibration intensity there.. Install from Playstore.

Hi,
I've downloaded the trickster mod, and set up the vibration intensity to 3100 (max).
With this new setting, the problem seems to be fading away... yesterday, the vibration function failed to work only twice, and today, it has worked fine the entire day.
I cannot think of a reasonable explanation for this, I really tought it was a hardware problem, but it seems to be working a lot better now.
Thank you very much!!!

I guess it's still better to check with service center once, you never know it could be a hardware problem and you might get a replacement for this

After the vibration issue was solved, the earpiece became mute at random times during calls so I gave up from KitKat... too much trouble, not so much attractive new features.
I'm back with ARHD 31.0, Jellybean 4.3... it's perfect.
This version works fine for me.
After all the problems I've had, I think I'll never try to update my phone again, unless there's some sort of "killer feature" in the new version.
Good luck!

o2 v1.27 firmware
I had a weird issue in the car the other day
I was using the USB plugged into a Fiat 500 which has the Blue & Me system. I wasn't particularly bothered about having sound through the speakers, I just wanted to charge.
The stereo turned on anyway, and I was having random directions given through the stereo, with the Highlight Video music in between!! And then the ACTUAL directions coming through the phone speakers. I just turned the stereo off but it was really weird

I've had problems with random restarts and WiFi not connecting/WiFI settings freezing. Not allowing WiFi to be switched off during sleep seems to have cured it.
HTC One M7 speaker
I got my new HTC one the othe day from Harvey Norman and I have noticed that the bottom one of the two speakers cuts in and out and if you press on it then it works, but this is for all audio has anyone had this issue or know why it is happening?
Thanks
I got my HTC One last week and the wifi signal is really weak. When I am at 5mt from the hub (virgin media) I bearly have a signal.
My boyfriend's Xperia Z (with known wifi issues) has more signal at the same distance.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Phone in pocket after call
I am surprised no one has reported this annoying bug:
1) Have the phone in the pocket
2) Listen to music via the provided headphones (same if you use bluetooth)
3) Someone calls you and you answer via headphones button
4) After you or the other party hangs the phone, the phone turns on in the pocket.
VERY annoying!!! Please report this bug to HTC (I already did)
Otherwise I just LOVE this phone!!!
Problems charging phone and file transfers.
Ive had my HTC One for just over 2 months now. Havent had any issues besides the back button not responding. But just the last few days out of the blue, i am unable to charge my phone using the provided htc micro usb cbale that came with the phone to charge my phone. Keeps saying to use supported cable or doesnt detect my phone at all. It wont even charge through the wall power point using the adapter and cable provided. Ive attempted using other micro usb cables from previous devices and still no luck. Only way to charge my phone is using the extend battery pack.But have to restart my phone before charge otherwise it wont detect usb connection.
I also unable to copy and transfer files from my phone to pc also due to the usb cable and detection issue.
Has anyone else here experienced the same issue?
If so,how did you resolve the issue?
ive contacted HTC Support and still waiting on a response.

Sounds like you have accidentally bent some pins in the connection, potentially hardware not software related. I'd return for exchange.
2G connection issues
I have no idea whether its my ONE's problem or of the connection provider........ I cant use my 2G connection, it connects and disconnects at its will........Is there any way to test whether my ONE has any problem?
Strangeness with touch screen sounds
I may be the the only one.... but I like a click sound when the touch screen is presssed for a command. This works alright on my Sensation (pyramid) but not on my new HTC (M7).
There is sometimes a very very faint noise about a second or more after touching the screen for a command, kind of a delayed reaction? Anyway no amount of tweaking volume controls or using any sound mod produces a decent loud click sound. I revert any tweaks after experimenting with them.

Push Bug (Whats app, sms), htc stay in standby
Hey,
I'm new here and i hope, this is the right forum for my problem
I bought me a htc one a few days ago, and i've already root it, unlocked the bootloader, set it s-off. my recovery tool is twrp-2.6.3.3, and i have the ViperOne 4.3.0 with ElementalX-m7-10.10.1. for the rights management i use LBE_Security, exactly this Version: LBE_Security_RC_5.1.5446_A1_EN_VI_1st_12.20.2013.
Sometimes, 2-4 times/day, if i write with somebay via sms or whats app, and my handy is in standby and i get the message, my handy vibrates and the LED blinks green, and when i try to unlock it, with double2wake or logo2wake, my handy vibrates, but my display still is black, like it is still in standy. Music works, i can turn the volume higher or lower, and i can keep klicking the power button or double2wake or logo2wake, but my display didn't react. It only vibrates, wenn i click use double2wake or logo2wake. i have to click the power button and the lower-sound button to reboot my handy.
First i thought, maybe it is the kernel, because i used undervolt 800 and max cpu 1890mhz, so i install viper new and the kernel new, but without undervolt etc., everything stock. But the bug is still there. i have the same bug, if i start the camera app and close my htc via the power button, but without closing the camera app, the bug is there, too. this is something i can live with, but not the problem with push messages.
And i don't know how to contrain the apperance of the bug. yesterday i installed everything new, and i install lbe security master, too, but i think, i forgot to give him superuser right, because today apps pushed me things, but they weren't allowed to do this. maybe it has something to do with the bug, but today i realised it and set lbe as a superuser and then the bug appeared again. before that the bug didn't appeared. maybe it was coincidence, i don't know.
all i know, is that the bug has something to do with sms and whats push, and i'm not 100% sure, but i think it's not the fault of the kernel elementalX. Maybe it's LBE or Viper Rom's fault, or may something else.
Do somebody please help me? This bug is very annoying me and i don't know android very well, it's my first android phone.
And excuse me for my bad englisch, i am from Germany and i wasn't good in englisch in school

Sounds like you've set your minimum frequency/screen off to too low, increase it to around 800Mhz and see whether you face the same problems again.

There's a fix for the camera bug in Venom Hub/Addons/Other
Thank you for your answers
@spiralOut
Thank you, this add-on fixed the camera bug, I hope, it fix the other too
@n1234d
Do you mean the undervolt option during the elemtalx kernel installation? Because first I choose 800kHz, now I choose stock, I think the stock is higher than 800, right? And the bug still appeared.
And what I forget to say: I used the swift option from HTC, that i can write with swiping on my keyboard, maybe this has something to do with the bug, now today I deactivated it.

[Q] One calling last dialed contact from my pocket

5 times over the last few days my phone has called the last dialed contacts while sitting in my phone. I think it's something to do with removing the headphones (stock) while Spotify is playing as the last two times that's when it happened but it may be a coincidence as I can't replicate it.
Has anyone had this happen or heard of something similar?

I had a similar problem that unlocked the lockscreen with just tapping the screen anywhere. Could it be that your phone is doing the same?

I'm not too sure what makes the lockscreen behave like that as I couldn't diagnose the problem properly.
Here's what i did just before the phone stopped doing it:
First I completely turned off the phone by long pressing the power button until the timer ran out​Then I pressed the VOL- key while still holding the power button to go into bootloader​Once in the bootloader I simply booted into recovery​Finally from recovery just held down power until phone booted up again​I'm not sure which step fixed it for me if bootloader, recovery or simply completely turning off the phone but after i did that the lockscreen went back to normal.
I suggest you try every one of the steps once in order to better evaluate which step fixes this (if it fixes them at all)
Let me know how you get on
Tried those steps, unfortunately my lockscreen is acting as it did before. But thank you for your help

Are sure your not pressing play/pause on your headset twice . That dials the last number.

Thanks for the tip its good to know, hopefully someone will find some other way to fix it without losing apps and data
If you're experiencing the bug where pressing anywhere on your One's lockscreen causes it to unlock, you've prolly got an app installed that has an Accessibility Service component to it. If you have any Accessibility Service enabled, it will cause this bug. (Light Flow and the Pebble smartwatch apps are 2 common apps that use an Accessibility Service).
On your phone go to Settings: Accessibility and look under Services. If anything there is enabled, disable it and that should stop the lockscreen from behaving this way.
This bug will also cause the phone to answer any incoming call if you press anywhere on the lockscreen while your phone is receiving a call.

I'm not aware of any way to fix it, unfortunately. Wish I knew a way, believe me, because this issue is keeping me from using the full functionality of my Pebble smartwatch with my HTC One. :crying:
I've actually mentioned this bug to a couple of HTC employees in a thread on Reddit here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1d6we1/hello_from_htc/?limit=500
and one of them has already brought this to the attention of some HTC engineers, so hopefully it will be fixed with a future update!

Cheers, it's almost certainly the pebble doing it then; it's seemingly happening whenever I pull out headphones that have a microphone and button, while music is playing through Spotify and my pebble is connected.

i have found that killing the lockscreen with a task killer will revert it back to pull to unlock for a while for some reason.

[Q] [CM11] Reboots with every notification with screen off

Hi there, guys.
I did a wide search in Google/XDA/whatever and didn't manage to find anything related to my problem, so I'm posting it here :good:
My S3 Mini (I8190N) runs flawless and quite smooth on NovaFusion/Maclaw 20140524. Using Gravity Box for enabling navbar (since the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons when changes the kernel) did the trick and fully usable...
Except for one little BIG bug: everytime I receive a notification (Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, SMS, calls, doesn't matter which app) while the screen is off, it reboots. Every. Single. Notification. Cause of this, my battery lasts just a couple of hours, since is rebooting non stop, and I lose a lot of important things (calls, alarms, SMS, you name it)
I tried some things:
- Installing today's NovaFusion release (didn't solved);
- Clean installing 20140524 again (nope) and clean installing today's release (nope again);
- Removing Xposed and Gravity Box (I thought it could be some incompatibility, but nope);
- Disabling lockscreen (to test if the problem was with lockscreen itself, but no).
Following the logic, it appears to be something related to notifications waking up the screen (the phone even vibrates a little before restarting again), but I didn't find any configuration related to this.
So please, anyone? Any advices? Any solutions? This issue is getting me heads off
Strange bug indeed and i have no idea why. The vibration on boot is always there to tell that bootloader boots. Its easier to troubleshoot a black phone that way, according to the service manual.

Since there seem to be issues with the capacitive button lights on your device, I would assume that the problem is with BLN (Back light notification) which activate the capacitive button backlights when you receive a notification and the screen is off.
I would suggest that you check to see if BLN is enabled and disable it. There is a BLN Control App in the Play store :good:

This makes a HUGE sense! :victory:
(still weird, tho, that only the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons on new kernel, but not entering this discussion haha)
Will try this, @Meticulus. Thanks in advance
Download Disable_BLN.zip and flash in recovery. See if it works. My backlight are always off with this flashed.

Hi guys,
I tried it. It's working perfectly. Hallelujah!
Now I'm discovering the Xposed to do a lot of other things (autohide the navbar, disable the "3-dot" button on apps, etc)
Thank you very much!

Tap2wake - phone Apk crash

Hi all... I basically have two problems. First of all, I got the Z3C happily rooted... The problems are:
1- Tap2wake simply doesn't work, regardless of how I tap... fast, slow, super fast, thumb, index finger, etc... enable it/ disable it... same issue... refuses to work.
2- I use exDialer for my dialer... It works great (I've been using it for a couple of years)... the problem arises when I miss or reject a call. When this happens, Sony'x Phone apk (forgot the exact name) crashes. I have to acknowledge the notification of the crash and everything continues to work... strange ha?
Any ideas what can be going on? Thanks!
Carlos
Did you uninstall Xperia Home? That will cause the phone app to crash on calls as you describe.
I assume you have the option for tap to wake checked? Possibly you uninstalled something that it needs? Never ran into that particular issue.
Can't comment on issue #2, but T2W works flawless for me in 99.9% of the cases (with firmware .98).
Did you (now it might be too late) check whether both problems were there before you unlocked the BL?
What firmware version are you using?
Thanks.. Yeap. too late... already rooted...
Regarding #1, still doesn't work. Even after unfreezing Xperia home, which indeed fixes #2...
Thanks!!!
Carlos
so I've frozen some apps on the z3c, but I can't quite figure out which one controls the tap2wake function. I've tried the trial and error way (freeze/unfreeze), but can't narrow it down. Any of you have any ideas which apk controls that?
Thanks again!!

You can just turn it off in Display settings.

Thanks Kev. What I ment to say is that I want to be able to ENABLE it... I have it ticked on, but since I froze some APKs, it's not working. I wish to know if anyone knows which one is it to unfreeze it (if that's the case). I've tried but I havent been able to figure it out.
Best regards,

[FIX available] Bottom part of the touchscreen stops working

Solution:
Go to Settings (if you're stuck in an app, use the button in your notification panel)
Go to 'System' (try tapping above the broken screen area)
Go to 'About this phone'
That should be all that has to be done! Do note: this fix isn't permanent. Let's hope Nokia fixes this.
Old thread:
Hello all!
When i woke up today and unlocked my phone (while an app is open) the bottom part (starting just above the nav-buttons) of my touchscreen just stops working.
I've had this problem a couple times (at most once per day) since updating from Oreo.
The solution to this problem seems to just to reboot the phone.. (This won't fix it permanently, sadly)
I'm asking if anyone else has this same problem, because i don't know the source of this problem.. (Maybe its because of the app not being P compatible?)
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem after the last update (september). Android Pie beta. Almost every morning i have to restart ..
Before the update was enough to just torn off/on the screen .
i don't have this problem on TA-1046 with Pie DP2-DP4.1 or Pie stable... maybe some incompatible apps? you use some for changing NavBar/Gesture area?
although i use XDA NavigationGesture what replace NavBar/Gesture with own, still not having problem, maybe you can try too this replacement, have many more function/settings that stock Pie gesture
for u its bottom touch screen is not working , but for me top of my touch screen isnt working .. and iam facing some serious problems after updating to pie . my phone restarts all of a sudden while charging , app crashes and more , hope hmd fixes this kind of issues in upcoming oct security patch update .

The app i left open last when it happened was "Boost For Reddit"
I'm using the old navbar layout (so no swipe)

Issue with charging
I am having a charging issue. My phone usb and adapter is working fine with other phones. But when I connect my Nokia 7 Plus below 50%,My phone shows charging And when I tap the screen it doesn't charge. It occurs couple of time. And then It becomes normal and shows rapid charge after 55%. My charging port is fine when I connect it with my Pc usb port. some how the rapid charge doesn't respond. Does anyone have this problem?

What is real time for charge? Rapidcharging is disabled while you activated LCD
Yeah I'm facing similar issues, or did... I'm not sure... but it's been a non-issue for the past ~36 hours now. Here's to hoping it's not an issue any longer. I speculated it might be adaptive battery related somehow, so I tried rebooting my phone just before going to bed Sunday night, but my navbar still worked Monday morning, and this Tuesday it's still working in fact. I did this to test if it stopped working based on time since last reboot, or because some background process being killed due to adaptive battery/doze putting the phone to sleep. But based on my recent experience I think my hypothesis can be rejected. And I'm still not sure what caused it.

Same for me ta-1046, happened to me twice now. bottom part of screen stops reacting to touch. reboot fixes it.
Hmm... After playing around in the settings while having this problem active, for some reason, going to the phone info section just fixed it... I'm not sure if going there actually did that. needs more testing, I suppose.
+1 I use navigation gestures

Huh, I'll be damned. When my nav bar was frozen this morning I went into the "about phone" section in the menu, and, lo and behold, my nav bar sprang back to life instantly. Now it might still just be a coincident of course, but it's certainly interesting, and could potentially be a fix where you don't have to reboot.

surprised me as well that it worked. He could be a good beta tester. lol
Capture of
I managed to capture a video of the bounds of the touch-registration when the bottom 1,5 centimeter of the screen stops registering.

Same problem for me after upgrading a couple of days ago. Bottom of the screen (navbar and a bit more) is not accessible. Always happens after a night charging.
Going to the "About phone" menu fixes it. Thanks!
I have seen reports of people with other phones saying this is due to the setup wizard being active and preventing using the navigation bar. Tried some suggested adb commands without success. I will still try to disable the setup wizard app and report back.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

Updated the OP
Please put a comment here as well: https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000036457?page=1
This might help getting a quicker fix from Nokia.
Looks like the recent October patch still has this issue.
Would be nice if i can get a logcat this issue, but given this issue gets triggered after hours of inactivity, it would take a looong time to sift through the log.
Maybe there's a way to trigger it without waiting?
I can try logging when i do the "about phone" fix, will come back to this.
same isue here.. after chsrging at night nav bar bottom inch not responsive.. will try the phone info thing in the morning... is this software related ? will there be a patch??
