I would also like pulationg vibration.......while this way it will be more effective.. and saving some battery on teh other hand . then continously vibrating ..

may be someone can do it with some hack....
[HD2 General] padlad:
Add me to the list, mine got stuck from the text message alert, i thought it was just me! Although, i thought it might of been because the alert tone was too long (approx 10 seconds), i changed the alert tone to a shorter one and so far it seems to of stopped the problem.
[HD2 General] adaptle:
I have the same issue, do we think this is ROM related or not?
[HD2 General] dgtel2:
I have this problem once only. It happened when I use Custom ROM. Running back the stock ROM, problem does not occur.
[HD2 General] wbsoul:
I have it as well

I have it as well ...and twice, also with the official ROM where I didn't install any Custom ROM so far.
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
i've had it twice now, first with official ROM, second, just 2 days ago, with custom ROM. and it all happened in the middle of night, 3-5am! darn phone woke me up with a scare! i thought i was the only one.
[HD2 General] Miishaak:
I had the same problem once, I have received an SMS during looking on weather and changing to view the home screen - it got stucked totally, I had to softreset the phone putting out the battery.
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
looks like we are not alone.. i hope more owners will take notice of this issue so we can collectively complain to htc. it's getting on my nerves waking me up in the middle of the night!
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
this morning with the alarm it vibrated non stop instead of with a few pauses, and it kept on vibrating untill I stopped the alarm..

sigh.. bug #667

For alarms, I use SPB Time 3.2 anyway... I love how they have a Bioalarm (Chirping birds, but relatively silent and ascending volume) and also how you can shake to snooze (which works really well and does not involve a serious shaking)
[HD2 General] TheChozen:
It happens for me too, but only when receiving text messages - it just keps buzzing :(

My "solution" in "Normal Mode" was to have only sound (I turned of vibration) when receiving text messages.

When on "Vibration Mode" this does not happen
[HD2 General] JuBond:
I've had this happen on 3 different HTC phones:

Touch Diamond

Xperia X1

and now HD2

It must be some kind of issue between WM and HTC hardware... because I can't imagine all the different ROMs I've flashed on all three devices had this bug...

I just turn off vibration for txt and email. Wish this could be fixed.
[HD2 General] .hide:
i had this problem today. my text came in at 12am and i only manage to get awake by the vibrate noise at 4am to stop it! my text tone is 6sec . 4 hour of vibrating. luckily the vibrate still working. Gosh

I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW AND COINCIDENTLY,I JUST RECIEVED AN EMAIL & MY PHONE JUST DID THIS NON-STOP VIBRATION PROBLEM!!!!! WHAT WAS THE CHANCES OF THAT!?:D

Seriously, this is the first time it has done that not sure why. I just flashed this rom(Dutty's) about 3-4 days ago. Let us know if anyone finds a solution and why it does it. :mad:
[HD2 General] sclui56:
WOW, is it time-based ;)? I read this last night and the stuck vibration happened to my unit this morning on an email notification! (TMOUS stock)
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
I haven't really had a stuck problem with my Tmo US version with stock e-mail ringtone. One of my gripes with this phone though is how weak the vibrator is. When I have it in my pocket, I can barely feel a thing unless I am sitting down? Maybe my pants are too loose/baggy? I wouldn't want to have to wear skinny jeans just for the phone though.

I used to have the Tmo MyTouch3g and the vibrator on that phone was perfect. It had pulse vibrate AND it was strong enough for me to feel in my pocket.
[HD2 General] nokiaman1978:
using sat nav last week got to my destination recieved an e-mail and then heard a strange noise thought it was my car turned off engine still had noise, touched the roof and it was vibrating, it was the phone had to reset to stop it, it has strongest vibration of any phone i've oned.
[HD2 General] Nymphetamine666:

[HD2 General] djingonthenet:
only happened to me twice, both times I had to pull the battery to stop it vibrating (no keys worked at all). On the first occasion the phone wouldn't reboot, got to the load htc sense prompt then it would just restart the phone - had to hard reset it again. Second time rebooted fine just hope it doesn't go tits up again.
[HD2 General] nokiaman1978:
same happened twice had to pull battery
[HD2 General] n11:
I've had the never ending vibration occur about six times in the 40 days that I've had the phone. All of these were email notifications. I just pushed the red 'end' key to stop it. It has been a minor problem but will be a big problem if it burns up the vibrator motor.

twice today...first time keys didnt work, had to pull the battery out...second time i managed to stop it via the volume keys..
[HD2 General] darkforum:
I have the same problem with the touch diamond 2, it occurs different times a day and only after I changed my ROM to the latest official one that is very similar to the HD2 one.

Somebody got a fix for that? Or a working ROM?
[HD2 General] kam333:
+1 on this, very useful. should solve most of the issues.
[HD2 General] shehrammajid:
I have the same problem. Tried many different roms and countless hard resets, still have the same problem. Phone doesnt stop vibrating when I get a text or email until I push a button on the phone....I think it is hardware related?
[HD2 General] chronicle:

It's only happened the one time, was cooking and came back into the room and the phone was vibrating constantly after receiving an email. It was totally locked up and needed to remove the battery to reboot.

This was a couple of months ago, hasn't happened since. Strange.

Unstoppable vibration solution

Hi guys.

Let me bring up thread, I think I might have a solution for this issue.

What symptom on my Diamond II did I have:

- When receiving SMS vibration starts and doesn't stop, LED flashes, screen is off like phone is still in standby or sleep mode.

- After pushing "Power" button vibration stops, sounds SMS sound, screen switches on, phone wakes up, everything is ok.

I have noticed this after my first hard reset, I received SMSs before that reset with no problems. And now I figured what was the reason.

Install software called "Topaz Settings Tool", could be found here. In menu "Messaging" there is an option "SMS wake up event". Check this box to wake up phone on incoming SMS. Should solve the issue.

I will post again if unsuccessful.

Unsuccessful. Phone wakes up, sounds sms notification, vibration still does not stop. Unlocking screen, browsing menus does not stop it either. But as I slide to "Messages" tab (to read this new sms) - vibration stops. Well, did not want to, but now I have to test Vibration patterns.

Add: using SPB Mobile Shell - everything works good. So I came to conclusion that this is not phone-related, or hardware-related, but is Sense-related issue.
[HD2 General] rexxxiii:
i just only experienced it right now, and I've found out that my magicall settings is the culprit. I set the call receive for my contact list to led blink (not on or off) and it started the whole vibration problem. i set it to off and now the phone just rings and led lights for a few seconds. no more vibration. it's really weird.

if someone can trace whic registry entry this particular function of magicall changes then it will be a good start to create a generic solution for all of us who encountered this problem
[Nexus One Accessories] student.driver:
I tried a set of v-moda Faze earbuds with the single button inline remote, and it controls play/pause and next track selection. I'm still playing with the remote, trying to figure out how to kick of the voice command function (if it can) but I haven't gone through the manual for the Nexus One yet. I bought a set of v-moda Duos (on clearance at Amazon right now in preparation for the v-moda Remix) to "replace" my Etymotic hf5 canalphones. I know it sounds strange, but I wanted to have the "distorted/colored" bass sound of the v-moda over the clear and cold sound of the Ety's, but that's for another discussion. :-)

If you want to try CursorSense32A on your Hero, you can flash it without the port file. It should run fine as long as you don't mind the HTC Magic screens. :)

its ok bro, i`ll wait for the next update :)

Ive been using HTC phones since forever.... Ive had the Canary, Tanager, Voyager, Hurricane, Polaris (Touch Cruise) and am currently using the Touch Diamond. Ive enjoyed Windows Mobile but never really took to TouchFlo3d. I liked Windows Mobile because I have CoPilot and used to do quite a bit of geocaching.

Now im up for contract renewal and soooo much has changed in the last two years.

Im wondering what the score is with windows mobile? Has it been overtaken by Android? What about my CoPilot, geocaching programs and Bejewelled Blitz game?

Im assuming the HTC HD2 is considered the best WM phone at the moment but should I be looking at Android phones.... if so, which one?

And how does the iphone fit in. I dont like the look of all though little boxes of "apps"! Im a minimalist kinda guy! Im considering an iphone because I have been forced into using a mac cos my partner has run off to uni to do a post grad course and taken the family laptop!

Any help of choosing between the HTC HD2, the android phones and the iphone would be great.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Here you can see what is considered the best device by XDA members:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5391877#post5391877

As for Android, I prefer to stay with WM, android is too young and immature for now, I´m sure in the future can be a good OS option, but not by now.

Just my opinion

Good luck,

p.d: Never consider yourself an old!!, as a Mexican saying says: Old? old the mountains and they are still green! :)
[General Topics] Shasarak:
That depends on whether you are normal, healthy human being or an extreme technology geek. :) The most important thing to understand about Windows Mobile is that when you first start up a WM phone, it really doesn't work very well. It can be made to work reasonably well, but it takes a great deal of tweaking to do it. If you're the sort of person who actively enjoys tweaking, hunting down applications and .cabs to customise the phone to make it behave in exactly the way you want, then WM is a good choice. If you simply want it to work, it's a terrible choice.

Android is already well ahead of WM in terms of usablity for normal people, but hasn't yet caught up in terms of programmability or customisability.

The iPhone is effectively two completely different devices in one, depending on whether or not you go through the "jail-breaking" procedure. (This is a bit like installing a cooked ROM on a WM phone, only rather less drastic and easier to reverse; like flashing custom ROMs it does void your warranty, though). Without jail-breaking the iPhone is very much a "black box" - you only do what Apple has chosen to let you do. That said, it's the best piece of user-interface design I've ever seen, beautifully intuitive, and it has far more applications than every other smartphone platform put together (and what's more they're all in one place so you can actually find them - WM apps are scattered all over the Internet with no catalogue).

By contrast, a jail-broken iPhone is as flexible as an Android phone, and very close to Windows Mobile.

If you don't want TouchFLO (a.k.a. Sense) then investing in a high-end HTC phone is probably a waste of money. You get the support of this website, and (in the case of the HD2) a capacitive screen, but neither is worth the price premium over rival devices - Sense UI is what you're paying for if you buy an HD2. Obvious WinMo equivalents are the Toshiba TG01, or the Acer NeoTouch. On the Android side you should check out the Google Nexus One, Motorola Droid, and Acer F1.
[General Topics] DevaVictrix:
Many Thanks for the replies. I was worried my question didnt get to the point but the answers covered my confusion.

So windows mobile still has some life left in it yet!

I had no idea about where Android was up to... now I know.

"you only do what Apple has chosen to let you do."

This is what I feared. Despite flashing phones for a large portion of my spare time I dont actually like doing it. I agree with what you said about WM phone not working well out of the box but can be good if you spend a few days googling and messing about. My diamond is a hand me down from my partner cos she hated it... but like the look of my old orbit 2. I spent many weeks tuning that one. Ive just left the diamond as is..... except disabling TF3d (I have actually started to use it for the last 2 days only!)

I find the iPhone appealing, especially after reading that it has more application around for it. Plus I only have a couple of ibooks now. Ive even done away with the pc at work! (only cos I do the bookkeeping at home on the mac, its easier to throw it in the back of the car and take it with me!)

I know the like of high street banks etc are making "apps" for it but ive also waded my through WM Smartphone, 2003SE and WM6 applications for years. It sound iike the iphone has made good ground.

I think its gonna be a HD2. Though ill have a quick look at how people have customised the iphone. Ill bend arms in the call centres to get either one for free!

Once again, thanks for spending the time in answering my questions. You have saved me a long evening in front of the laptop!
[General Topics] Shasarak:
Well, make sure you demo an iPhone before buying, and do some serious reading in some of the jail-break community forums. In my experience a good rule of thumb is: if you can't think of any specific reason not to buy an iPhone 3GS, you should buy one. By contrast, anyone who is any doubt about whether they want an HD2 or not should definitely not buy one; and I say that as an HD2 owner who has no intention of selling it. :) It's a great device for some, but its appeal is deep rather than broad. In my case the things I use it for most are web-browsing and video playback, and a big, hi-res screen helps a lot with both of those. Even there it was a close thing - Apple's "Safari" browser is superior to the HD2's Opera in several ways.

There's a recent survey from Gartner which found that Apple currently controls 99.4% of the smartphone app market. :eek:

Demo a couple of the high-end Android phones, too - HTC Hero and Motorola Milestone are good places to start. And try an HD2 before you buy as well - see whether or not the keyboard drives you nuts! :)
[General Topics] ramdroid77:
IMO that's not exactly true. I had bought a Touch Diamond 2 in early 2009 and with the stock ROM it was awesome. I used it for couple months without facing any problems. After few months I switched to custom ROMs but only because I needed to have newer OS builds (6.5, 6.5.x) on my phone.

Android is so superior in few years? You better wait few years and see if Android is still running so smooth when supporting more than 5 different phones.... Probably you'll switch back to WM 8 then because it's supposed to run so stable.
[General Topics] DevaVictrix:
I just went to the Apple Store in town for an iPhone demo only to be told they don't sell them, or have demo versions.

So I asked for the lead to plug my iBook into the telly. He gave me a DVI Macbook one. "no, I have an iBook"

"Sorry mate, you cant get em"

I said "yeah you can, £18.99 + del on the Apple Store website.

He clicked around on his iPhone for 5 mins until I gave up and found one myself in the shop.

I gave him my Visa card only to be told that they dont accept Visa Debit!

Im not surprised Apple stuff is so expensive.... they have to markup to cover the loss of sales for reasons similar to my first ever contact with Apple!
[General Topics] Shasarak:
How exactly is any of this in any way connected to a purchase decision? Are we supposed to say "well, WinMo may not be very good, but there's a good reason why it's not very good (has to support so many different phones) so we should buy it anyway out of sympathy"? Or are we supposed to buy a WM6 phone now on the grounds that in three years time the next-but-one version of WinMo will, in your opinion be superior to the next-but-six version of Android? Even if your prediction turns out to be accurate, nothing you say here can possibly be relevant.
[General Topics] Shasarak:
Ouch. :( Well, try a mobile phone shop. Here in London you'll find a demoable iPhone in O2 or Carphone Warehouse stores. Probably Orange and Vodafone too these days.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I would at least consider looking at Android handsets that are currently on the market. Windows Mobile is an alright OS, but Windows Mobile 6.x is on its way out, with WM7 coming in towards the end of this year, so you might not want to buy a WM device until WM7 ships, or you may get stuck with 6.x. I've used Android extensively through ports and emulators, and I can safely say that it's a very good mobile OS. Either a Windows Mobile or Android device would work fine, but I would recommend waiting until the end of the year if you want Windows Mobile. The best Android and Windows Mobile devices on the market are probably the Nexus One and HD2, respectively.

As for the iPhone, I don't really get what's so special about them. I own a first generation iPhone and a first generation iPod Touch, and while they're both nice devices, I wouldn't say they're the Jesusphone that everyone claims them to be. Maybe it's just because I like an open OS like Android (Linux kernel, open source) or WM (proprietary yet infinitely customizable), but the iPhone doesn't seem that great to me. And while Jailbreaking makes things a little more bearable, it still doesn't make the iPhone worth using to me
[General Topics] ramdroid77:
I'm not saying "WM may not be very good". I think it kicks ass. Honestly! I already ran Android on the emulator to check it out but I don't see anything special that I don't have with WM. And besides that on Android you can only code applications in Java despite the Linux kernel. I stick to my C/C++ and I see no f'kn reason to downgrade to Java just because of Google.
