Vibration problem

ArnoutG — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 19:10:06 GMT

Hello,

My Sony Xperia SP (only 1 week old) seems to have no vibration function.. I tried to put it on vibration today (as the LED does not work in STAMINA mode), I ticked all the vibration boxes imagineable, however nothing ever vibrates. Any solutions?

Also, sometimes when I tried to turn my screen on, it just is somewhat lighter dark, untill I turn it off and try again..

Cheers,

Arnout

on the home screen > lower the volume > you will get the option to vibrate or you can use the tools widget or you can pull down the notification bar which will have the notification sound, tap it once it will set it to vibrate > twice it will be mute

Hey,

thanks again. I tried the vibration function using the app you suggested. It didn't vibrate, so the results now say 'failed'.

Then it's a hardware issue, you have to take your phone to a Sony repair center
