iPhone 6s stopped vibrating

So, the issue with my 6s is, as the day goes on, haptic feedback or any vibration at all just stops. If i restart the phone, it's ok for awhile but then it stops again. His isn't everyday. I can't pinpoint what may cause it. This is on iOS 9.1 and has also happened on previous versions of iOS 9. This is with a 64 GB space gray model.


In fact, this is my 2nd 6s (my last one was returned due to the dead phone/hot home button issue) and i swear the other one had the issue as well. I'm really hoping this is a software bug because I don't know why another one with bad hardware.


wnyone have any suggestions, or knowledge of this issue?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.1

No, I'm having the same problem.


Look at mike6342's description. It works fine, most of the time, implying that his settlings are fine. Mine is the same way. I've double and triple checked all of my settings.


What happens is that at some point, something unknown occurs, and the vibrate just stops workings. Like mike6432 said, it's not just the ringer. It's the force touch feedback, it's the pressing vibrate patterns button in the settings, it's switching the silent/ring switch on and off. Anything that would ordinarily cause even just a tiny vibrate, no longer works.


For me at least, a phone restart clears the issue. But the problem is that you don't know when it goes into this no-vibrating state. I could be at work getting txt messages all day and the phone vibrating just fine. Maybe even a couple of days. Then, all of a sudden vibration stops, but you have no idea. My phone could be ringing off the hook but there's no indication. So it's a strange problem. I also have not been able to pinpoint what starts the failure. I just know that I can clear it by resetting the phone, if I happen to notice that the vibration has stopped worked.
