Vibrate not working at all with iOS7

I updated to iOS7 the day it came out and thought all was going fine but only now, I'm realizing that the vibrate feature hasn't worked once since.


Prevoiusly, I just thought that it doesn't vibrate when my phone is plugged in (when I'd receive text messages) but it just dawned on me that it hasn't vibrated at all since. When I switch from Normal mode to Silent mode, no vibration. When I go to settings and try out the different Vibrate modes, I feel nothing. My phone doesn't vibrate when I plug it into my laptop as well. I'm wondering something happened between when I upgraded to iOS7?


Is there any way to troubleshoot this problem?


I just reset my iPhone today (all content and settings) and restored it to a recent backup but still the same issue.


Do you think I should just take it to an Apple Specialist at the Apple Store?

My iPhone 4 has the same issue as sunohcand I have tried the same fixes proposed bymabaeyensand AMWurnigbut with no luck either. The Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent settings are On, i have done a phone reset (holding Lock and Home buttons), Do Not Disturb is Off. I even "composed" a Custom Vibration, but it wouldn't vibrate. Apple please help.

@sunohc


To confirm, is your iPhone not vibrating at all when in Silent mode (rocker toggled in lower position on the left of iPhone) or only for incoming calls? If it's only for incoming calls than the above solution does infant resolve the issue and you are misinterpreting the answer.


If it doesn't vibrate at all when in Silent mode (I.e incoming emails, txt ect) it might be a hardware issue.

Hi,


I have upgrade my iphone 4 on IOS7, since then I have notice that there is no vibration at all in the phone.I have turn off the night mode slecte ON to all vibration mode, even there is no vibration when I am getting my Emails. I was searching for this on the internet and I come to notice that its a Bug once you put it on silet mode or if your slecting ringing tone by your choice your Iphone vibration is gone for ever. I have made an experiment on my brother Iphone 4. before there is vibration but once its upgraded to IOS 7 after putting it on silent the vibration is gone. I am keep on searching that why is it happning. I wish befor that apple could gave us the solution so Sunochc you are not the only one who is suffuring form this issue
