Sony Xperia Z Vibration problem

Might also be the following.

Go to Settings - Language & input - xperia Keyboard/Sound and Vibration (Select desired feedback type when using the keyboard) - Deselect Vibration on keypress and Sound on keypress.

Was trying to disable annoying vibration myself and found this little gem. Cripes on my lowly S3 it as one click "disable haptic response" and voila. Should not interfere with vibrate on ring, I say should

Hopefully you can do this before fullscale "repair" which turns back on by default!

I am also facing the same problem since today morning. It is so annoying. The bloody phone is in annoying vibration mode like forever and I did a factory reset too. Doesn't help, tried calling

India- English

‎1800-3000-2800‎(Toll free)‎

but just can't get through. I think that this number is bogus... I am soooo mad..... Anyone facing the same problem.. I guess I just need to change the phone and I love my phone..... Damn!! #Superpissed

I get the same problem. Never been dropped and always in a suit/blazer pocket.

I found that if there is ANY pressure applied to the lower half of my phone needless to say where it is usually held, it vibrates until either the phone dies or I apply pressure to a corner or shake it.

I did try the software just to silence customer services since they refused to help otherwise. No big deal about that. It was all pointless since the phone done this constant vibration even when it is switched off, locked or during any app.

Mines going back to the store.

Please DO NOT reset your phone or repair it through Sony Companion... Blah blah blah...... This DOES NOT WORK.... I repeat... 'DOES NOT WORK'....(Been there, done that).. You would end up reseting your phone and still your 'Amazing' phone will just start to vibrate again...... like there's no tomorrow.

This a 'Hardware issue' so no need to update/repair it as it is so conveniently suggested by the smart folks here. Call up their stupid customer service and amazingly enough, they will reiterate the exact thing to you - 'Try to update/repair it........

Just take it to their Service center, aim it at the sales person there (or who so ever is there and just throw it at their face). This phone was a complete waste of my money and I ain't ever, ever ever buying a sony phone again - be it full HD or Z or Z1 or Z ultra, it is all 'CRAP'...

Super annoyed

Only way to solve this problem is take the back cover off and take the vibration plug out, just done it there, I am still gettin a new one though because it shouldn't happen

Have a problem of vibration for no reason. This problem started after last android update. Before that 3 month phone worked perfectly well. All tickmarks on keyboard vibration are disabled. I have Xperia zl.

Just had the same problem, My sony Z is a repaired one just over a month old. It is Always in a Leather Case. 15 min ago the Phone just started vibrating (thought it was a call) non stop. Turned the Phone off but didn't stop. Turned it on again but nothing changed.
meanwhile searched the web for solutions, only thing i could find that it was hardware related.

Since the Phone is quite large and it was in my pocket when it started. I thought it could be from flexing the Phone or something like that. So i put it back in it's case, and put it flat on my hand and gave it a firm tap on the back with my other hand. The 2nd try was succesfull and the Phone stopped vibrating.
Checked if normal vibration still works and found no problems.

My experience with the latest Phones is getting worse with every model they (HTC / Sony) release. Feels like the phones suffer more and more from stupid (hardware) problems. Looks like the Urge of releasing a new model every half year is showing its flaws... ( i mean Z / ZL / Z1 / Z2) in a years time..

EDIT: An hour later the phone did the same thing al over again. i noticed that when i pressed the back-side of the phone a bit harder it starts vibrating again (happens when it is in my pocket). Then after it happend again it would stop anymore unless I pressed really hard on the back-side where the CE mark is, apr. 1.5cm from the bottom up.

So going to contact sony care (again!). Last time they did a good job, so lets hope they continue in this way.

I am facing the same problem the second day i bought my xperia z ultra. It start vibration for no reason and keep on vibrating untill i turn it off. Its so horrible. I have 1 year warantty for my ultra i am going to give it back. For those who don't have warantty can do the follwoing tricks with vibration and It will not vibrate again anymore.

1 - turn off vibration from phone and dont use internet on your z ultra. It will not vibrate anymore.

2 - If you want to use internet then you have to turn off vibration in every single app you have in your z ultra. Because there is option for vibraton in every single app which consume internet. Mail boxes / games / social networks etc. You have to get inside in every app and turn off vibration for notification , mails or updates or whatever. But still it will start the super annoying vibration at times but very often.

If anybody have got a better soloution, come forward with it.

I ve bought a xperia z 2 months ago and continous vibration persists. It seems like it can be solved by technical service. I blame myself for leaving samsung
