Iphone 14 only vibrates once while ringing

iphone 14 only vibrates once while ringing very quickly. In silent or in regular mode. Already tried doing a reset to all settings and problem still occurs. Tried different vibration patterns which all vibrate ok and still does the same thing quick vibe during ringing. I keep missing calls while my phone is in silent in my pocket. I have the haptic settings turned on and vibrate is also on in accessibility. I’m on IOS 16.5.1. Issue started yesterday all of a sudden. Nearest Apple Store is 4 hours from me. What can I do?

Here is an update for anyone who has this vibrate once quickly and then not vibrate but continue ringing. I chose a softer vibrate pattern “heartbeat” and now the phone continues to vibrate normally during ringing or even in silent. What I think is happening is the vibrate rapid or any of the other patterns start too strong and possibly overheat the vibration motor or a sensor. Choosing heartbeat which vibrates quickly and pauses between quick vibrations seems to not trigger whatever was turning it off before. I can live with it this way. Hopefully will last a couple years. Cheers

Hello Rudeman11!


First, please Force restart your iPhone.


If that doesn’t fix the issue, then maybe it’d be best if you contact Apple Support to further investigate this, as you seem to have already tried all the basic troubleshooting steps.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
