Dec 9, 2010 4:54 AM in response to whoknows7by jonnybee,Excellent tip.Thank you.I can now cancel my Genius appointment. I'm a little worried that it will be a recurring problem but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Thanks again. -

Jan 4, 2011 6:34 AM in response to whoknows7by billchase2,Same problem here but I cannot seem to fix it. The motor stopped vibrating the other day and I noticed when I'd begun missing calls. I hear the clicking (more of a ticking... like a wristwatch) that you guys are talking about. I can't seem to get it unstuck though. I've hit the phone in the top-right corner numerous times but don't want to break the thing.
Any other tips? I really don't want to exchange the phone... -
Jan 4, 2011 9:50 AM in response to billchase2by billchase2,Ha! Fixed it!
Instead of hitting it with my palm, I just banged the thing flat on my desk. The vibration immediately kicked in! Kind of a silly fix, but I'd much rather do this than exchange it. -
Feb 15, 2011 7:34 PM in response to JBULLFROGDOTCOMby wc2k,hi, JBULLFROGDOTCOM,
I am experiencing the exact same problem as yours.
After I run the iBrate app, and tap and shake the phone really hard multiple times,
I only get very weak vibration. as soon as i turn off the iBrate app, I can't get the phone to vibrate again under normal usage. And each time i run the iBrate again, i need to tap/shake/slam the phone to get that weak vibration again.
I am wondering how this can be solved? -

Had the same problem: My iPhone 4 stopped vibrating a few days ago which made me really wooried. I took the steps as proposed and it works again!
Cheers mate! You saved the day! -
Feb 26, 2011 11:24 PM in response to whoknows7by Johammy,So my iPhone just stopped vibrating and looked here for some advice. Downloading the ibrate app and tapping my phone on my knee fixed the problem.. I couldn't believe that this would work but it did. You don't have to smack your phone hard, down load the app and enable the vibration. After that I tapped the phone on my knee and after about 15 seconds it started to vibrate again, thanks for the advice. -
Mar 2, 2011 5:51 PM in response to whoknows7by hayesm7,I have had a similar problem with the iPhone 4. I have the iPhone 4 with Verizon, and have experienced that when the iPhone vibrates, there is a slight dinging sound. However you can only hear it if the the room is quiet and the phone speakers are next to your ear. I had my iPhone replaced 5 times with this problem. Has anyone else had this? And is this normal? Also another problem I have had is that the stand-by/power button gets loose, so when you shake your phone to undo something or playing a game the button moves back a fourth I guess and makes a rattling noise. Is this normal? -
Mar 23, 2011 12:09 PM in response to whoknows7by Michael Meiners1,This seems to only be a temporary fix. Every few days or weeks, my vibrate motor gets stuck again. Anyone else have this re-appearing for them? -
Mar 25, 2011 3:47 PM in response to whoknows7by franknunez,Mine worked taping the corner of the phone and using iBrate -

Thanks! -
Apr 5, 2011 7:16 AM in response to whoknows7by kamper9,my phone got coke poured on it last night, and submerged. It thought that it was attached to an accessory and the ear piece wouldn't work. bought a can of compressed air immediately and that problem got fixed, but this morning my vibration didn't work all the time, i could change it in the settings menu and it would occasionally vibrate.
Tried this fix and left it for a couple minutes and it seems to have worked. I don't if I have to do this every couple of days until July or August or whenever the new one is released -
