Sony Ericsson k800i - vibration stopped

roosterman71

Has anyone experienced this? The vibration on my k800i just stopped working. Any ideas on how to get it back? Or is it screwed? The vibration functionality is turned on yet still doesn't work

Software reflash will sort it

Test that the vibration actually works via the service menu. You can get into the service menu by pressing the following keys:

This should help you see if it's a hardware of software fault I'd have thought.

Sounds to me like water damage or some kind of damage anyway

Well its never got wet (that i know of) or been damaged. It stopped working about a month ago, and restarted at the weekend. I did nothing different

Are you one of the many people that leave their phone turned on 24/7?

If so, did you reboot just before it started working again? I ask as I have found that if I leave my phone turned on for too long between reboots that it can have adverse affects on some of the phones functions. A quick reboot once a week can generally help avoid these weirdnesses.

I do have it on a good bit alright. I tried rebooting and it didn't start the vibrate working. A few days later, it just started again.
