Vibrate cuts out?

[RiozNewbie]

Hey guys got the latest update for this phone and for some reason when I type on keyboard the vibrate will stop randomly (has done about 3 times already) I then have to shake the phone to get it to come on again why is this and how do I fix it? Thank you.

@RiozNewbie,

If you have to shake the phone it sounds like it might be a physical issue, maybe something is loose. Does it only happen with the keyboard?

[RiozNewbie]

I think so yes. Also how do I get location working? My gps doesn't seem to be working

[RiozNewbie]

Scratch the last part gps works and how do I go into safe mode?

@RiozNewbie

Follow the link that uliwooly provided on the word "safe mode". All the steps are there.

[RiozNewbie]

Yep still does it and need to shake to get it working again... What is wrong with it? Apart from that all that wrong with it... I was sure it was working before the update. Unless I didn't notice it.

It might be a hardware issue, you could repair it with PCC if that doesn't work, contact your Local support
