Vibrate not working at all with iOS7

Did you solve the problem?

Go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtones > Vibration > see that it's not None

This solved my problem. Thanks dude 🙂

This worked for me as well.

Within Vibrate Group I set Vibrate on Ring ON

and It worked for me!

i had the same problem and i did what one person said i hit the back of the phone and it started working again

Yes, it worked for me too, but just for a couple of minutes...

It is a hardware issue, but caused by the software update. I bet it burned the motor of the vibration part. This issue is solved once you replace the vibrator. I just did it myself and it worked.

I had this issue recently and managed to fix it just now. Have you used the Do Not Disturb function at all?

I used the do not disturb function the other day, and since then, my phone wouldn't vibrate, even when do not disturb was switched off. So I went into by settings > Do not disturb, then I turned off manual and scheduled. After this I had to go into sound settings and turn on vibrate in silent mode, and then it started vibrating again.

I wouldn't have believed it, but sure enough - smacking the back of the phone fixed the vibrate. It took a few tries to get it, but on my 5s it was a reasonable whack right below the apple logo which finally did it (using the palm of my hand).

Not sure if the vibrator just gets stuck or what, but hoping it stays working now.

yep, same problem,

i read through all of the comments and possible fixes, tried them over and over and made sure for the 100th time that all my setting were correct, they are, so i came down to hitting it, i rang myself started tapping then hitting the phone on its side on the desk and sure enough it came to life, no wonder apple arnt putting this problem out there,

how are they going to word that fix??

I have same problem, 1 day ip5s, updating from 7.0.4 to 7.1.1 and no vibrating after update. Any working solutions?

Make sure your sound button is down so you see the orange, go into settings-sounds make sure to turn on vibrate on silent and vibrate on ring, where is says "sounds and vibration patterns" go into text tone, at the top its says vibration make sure you pick one of those and it should work

I discovered recently that the vibration on my iPhone 5c hadn't been working for some time. I missed an emergency phone call at work the week before last, 😕

and deduced that it was because my phone didn't vibrate when the caller called 4 consecutive times but didn't leave a message. Looked online and found this issue all over this Apple Support forum. Took my phone to Apple store., they did a firmware thingy, then tried to replace/fix vibration motor, both to no avail. Ultimately, they REPLACED MY IPHONE 5c FOR FREE! No explanation of what caused the problemo, but I've a hunch that it is an IOS 7 issue. Kinda makes you never want to upgrade, no?

So, don't get mad, get glad, and pay the Apple store a visit. 🙂

Default Vibration will be set to None. Select a Vibrate option and this will resolve issue.

This worked for me! Thanks!

Just whack it a couple of times it seems to get stuck. I gave my a couple of whacks and it was good to go:)
