[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
it could be a couple of things...if this has been an ongoing thing since you started flashing last year...it may be roms as some have different haptic settings...but if its just very recent the hardware could be failing or it loosened itself outta the housing in the inside....i know a few people on here who have changed their motors and where they got it...its on either the rezound general, q&a, or accesorries thread
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
well I don't remember exactly when it started, but I remember realizing that the vibration would get weak if used too often. I suppose it happened all at once, but it might have been gradual, and I only just noticed it once it reached a certain threshold.

I'll see if I can find the threads you're talking about. but if you find them first, you could post them :P
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Ya sounds like its hardware related...give me a little and I'll dig the links up for you...I'm in the process of packing as I'm moving over 3000 miles away from where I currently am on Saturday

Need a Replacement Vibrator Motor

This guy here bought a new motor for is...this is the link I was referring to
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
thanks! looked on eBay and ordered one for less than $4, sounds like a straight forward install with only 6 screws.

it'll be nice to have reliable haptic feedback/silent notifications again.
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I have experienced the same symptoms, and I'm running the stock Sense 3.6 ROM (rooted). But for me, it's on and off: it'll do this for a couple of days and then be fine for several weeks. I'm not worried about it anymore. At this point it's been going on for almost a year, I'd say, and vibration hasn't ever fully stopped working in all that time.

So that at least confirms that it's not ROM specific.
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
It's never come to a dead stop, it's just been extremely week at times.

I'm really hoping it's not the main board failing to supply the right power to the motor.

So what happened, the motor I got on eBay was DOA (tested it with strands of wire as probes). My old motor turned on at a couple volts, but the other one was completely dead. (Unfortunately I took my rez apart twice cause I expected it to work, lol).

I did a stupid thing I suppose, I tried to use my old motor's brushes on the new motor (after accidentally opening the broken one up and seeing it spun with my test leads). Long story short I ruined my original motor, so I have absolutely 0 haptic/vibration on my phone right now. Let me tell you, it's really annoying! (Especially pressing back )

Well I got a refund from the seller and bought a new one yesterday but it won't be shipped till Monday.
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
Thanks again! Just got a new motor installed and it works great! (It's crazy awesome to have haptic feedback again)

I bought one for the HTC amaze 4g, and cut off the connector and soldered my old one on. Put some heat shrink on it and installed it, and that did the trick. Good thing there's a little bit of extra room under the back cover! :D

2. Antutu benchmark shows lower score for processor and GPU (Compared with HTC one X(Both has Nvidia tegra 3)) HTC one x has 1.5quad but this phone has 1.7quad :laugh: . So, why lower score? :(

3. Asphault 7 not working also(Game opened its Menu is slow and game not started).

i have exactly the same problem with gps on this phone... :(

have you found some solution by now, perhaps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms6:
To OP:

1.

GPS will crash the phone to restart is normal for ALL NTT Docomo NEXT series Smartphones. I have confirmed with my F-02E, F-06E, SH-06D and an even older NEC MEDIAS.

To use the GPS on these devices, you will have to turn on the Airplane mode to work if you are outside of Japan and is using a foreign SIM card. (GPS will work fine with 3G or 4G LTE Xi with a Docomo USIM in Japan)

*****(Though I have read somewhere that a non-Docomo 128kb MicroSIM might do the trick, but I do not have one to test)*****

Also do not expect the GPS to be as fast and accurate as the Galaxy S3/S4 as the F-02E does NOT support GLONASS.

The GPS receiver is optimized for Japan region only (maybe can change satellite list after root).

A-GPS for faster GPS lock is DISABLED without a Docomo SIM.

2.

The reason for the lower score is because of the lack of optimization, as well as all the BLOATWAREz Docomo has preloaded on the phone. To uninstall these Docomo software (useless outside of Japan), you have to r00t.

Fujitsu kind of failed with the F-02E. Even after the V17 update, Android 4.1.2 is really unstable on the phone. I had the OS crashed in several occasions in different apps and some games.

To get the best performance out of the F-02E, you have to flash a cooked ROM.

Though the stock OS is much faster and stable on the F-06E, though in synthetic benchmark, the F-06E still scored lower than my Galaxy S4 -i337m

3.

Asphalt 7 works fine for me on my F-02E. Also gameplay is rather smooth offscreen at 1080p.

Asphalt 8 works good too, but some occasional frame drops on complex maps.

Shadowgun and DeadTrigger both plays buttery smooth.

Epic Citadel Unreal 3 Benchmark, the F-02E at 1080p on Best Quality setting gets around 30fps - 40fps (Tegra 3 works better on 720p screens, and again lack of optimization from Fujitsu on the software side)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndandy:
you're great, man! thanx a lot for your answer -

but where can i find that cooked rom for f02-e?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms6:
You will have to find some clues on Japanese BBS boards (2ch etc **NSFW)

Development for this phone in Japan is gathering more people as the average retail no contract price of a brand new F-02E in Japan costs around $160-$180 since around May-June of 2013

You can also find active development in some Chinese forums
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psylence84:
I use F-06E with 3G operator and have no problems with GPS, no reboots, navigation apps work good.

Also, I had F-02E, it could not find any satellites at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms6:
You might have a 128k MicroSIM card with your F-06E.

My 64k Rogers Wireless MicroSIM make both my F-02E and F-06E reset when GSM and/or HSPA is turned on (mobile data on/off does not matter), and GPS is on and searching for satellite for location.

***NOTE*** If the GPS is just on and not searching for any satellites, the phone will not reset.

Regarding your F-02E does not find any Satellites in Moscow (Your Location).

The F-02E will find a GPS lock eventually, but it may be unstable and take quite long time to lock. The main problem is because the GPS receiver chip in the F-02E does not support GLONASS, and the GPS locale list is configured in Japan region. So outside of Japan region, GPS will be flaky without rooting and updating the GPS locale conf.

The F-06E on the other hand does have GPS/aGPS and GLONASS support as part of the Qualcomm S600 platform SoC. GLONASS lock should not be a problem.

***NOTE*** The aGPS cellular assisted location service will not work without a Docomo USIM. Hence on phone with only GPS and no GLONASS, like the F-02E, initial lock from cold boot may take some time.

How to change/update GPS locale list

I am having the same issue with my F10D, GPS keeps trying to locate satellites. I'm considering rooting it to update the GPS Locale list but I need guidance on how to update such list. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms6:
Even if updating the GPS list, the performance is only bit improvement. The antenna/receiver used in these Fujitsu phones before the Snapdragon 600 ---- F-06E are not great to begin with

If you really want a faster phone GPS, then its time to find other phones

As for a flashable GPS locale config for other countries outside of Japan, it will be hard to find if it even exists

Restarting problems. Need a solution. Please ...

Hello, I bought my unlocked F-02E mobile in Japan this summer and I brought it to Spain. I have disabled some docomo apps but the pone keeps restarting. I couldn't find the way to update or download the V17 firmware upgrade because I don't have any Docomo SIM in order to download it. I don't know if there's some cooked rom available to flash it and get a solution to avoid annoying restarting problems when calling or after calling or using 3G data ... (it happens randomly). I use GSM only here in Spain but when I call with data enabled it also reboots sometimes :(

Neither I don't know if buying a new 128K micro SIM could help to avoid rebooting issues.

I'll wait for your solution.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamoncito:
Thank you

Thank you very much!. I will try these steps you explain but I guess I'm going to buy another mobile because it's not very useful to have a phone which cannot get Android updates and cannot use 3G data without rebooting.

I'm planning to buy a Moto G which is made by Google and they say that Android 4.4 update is sure at the beginning of 2014. And it's cheap and has good specifications :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biswaranjan:
I also had problems of not being able to use 3g data without rebooting. These steps would solve it too :) don't disable any DoCoMo apps.

But software update is a real prob..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biswaranjan:
I quit. No further wasting of time n energy.

Rebooted many times today, reboot happens while searching for network.

Am selling the phone now. Will go for Google device.

New Software Update V19R50D?

Hello,

I've seen there's a new nttdocomo software update compilation (V19R50D) and I've read somewhere this update solves rebooting (I read it on a japanese page translated thanks to Microsoft Bing Translator :)).

Do you know if there's any way to update software without nttdocomo SIM and outside of Japan?. I've searched but I haven't find any way :crying:

Anyway, I'll buy a new Google device too because my F-02E, although there's a nice device with great specs, it's unuseful if you cannot call without restarting or surfe the web with at least 3G data.

Just a quick update on wired tethering, I was finally able to get clockworkmod tether to work over USB, not as convenient as wifi tether but it will have to do for now.

things to note:

1. if you are on windows 8 or 8.1 you have to disable driver signing to install the clockworkmod tether app for windows

2. make sure your wifi is disabled on your computer

3. make sure you are on 3g or 4g on the phone

of course this only works with computers and will not help with anyone using tether for a tablet or game system.
