After a while of use my E51 stops vibrating during an incoming call. It will still ring, but it will not vibrate. The phone is in "general" and vibration is set to "on". After reboot everything comes back to normal for 1-2 days and then it repeats.

Anyone else experienced this?

I've just had this happen to me. I've rebooted and everything's OK but I'll let you know if it happens again. Quite annoying...

My E90 is the same, turning the vibrate off and then back on again seems to fix mine, strange.

I just bought my E51 3 days ago, and I have this similar problem too. My phone just don't vibrate. Call up the Service Centre and they ask me to reset all my setting but it didn't work. So they advice me to reboot, take out my battery, SIM card and Memory card wait for 5 mins before putting all back. After that the phone was back to normal.

Now crossing my finger and hope this won't happen to again.
I also realise that it is a hassle to take out the SIM card after placing it in.

Service recommendations are the same for almost every software porblem.
Reboot your phone - it's enough for vibrating restore.
Battery and SIM removing is not obligatory.

Thanks for the response, but it does mean having to reboot every couple of days.

Is there no other fix? If not, is there a way of requesting that Nokia include this as a bug to be fixed in a future firmware update?

My E51 has exactly the same problem. I guess we need a firmware update to correct it.

The question is: Does Nokia know about the problem ??? If they r not aware we wont get it corrected. How can we alert them ?

The vibrate on the phone is useless in any case. I use an app called Remindme, which means if you miss a call/text/email/voicemail you can set the phone to ring or vibrate or light up at user defined times after you've missed the incoming call, message or whatever. It's invaluable to me and means I NEVER miss anything. Have to fly right now but search on google and check it out.

i have tried rebooting the phone, i tried returning it to factory settings but after the having the phone for about two days my E51 refuses to vibrate. it worked for afew hrs yesterday then mysteriously dissapeared

[dbug]

I have seen this once too.
After a few days of playing with the new handset, the vibration stopped on incoming calls. After a reboot everything went back to normal.

seem to be time for a software update soon..

The same problem happened to me. I have a Nokia E51 (RM-244), up to date with the last firmware version (200.34.36 - Jun 17th 2008.) and I have to reboot every time the problem happens.

Since the first post here was in Jan 22nd 2008, I believe Nokia had enough time to delivery a path or a firmware update.

Does anybody know who to let them know or even ask them priority on this issue?


Best regard,

Infact I too noticed the same problems - but found that this problem is not at all random thought. If I connect my phone using USB to my PC, and transfer anything to it, it stops vibrating. This continues till I restart the phone. This problem does not arise if I use PC Suite mode to connect to PC ....

[knut]

Yeah, I think the root of this is when you connect E51 to PCSuite, in file transfer mode it's fine, but in PCSuite mode the fone will not vibrate anymore after disconnecting

All I can do is to reboot the fone after using PCSuite

[jugunu_george]

Even i do believe that the root cause of this is connecting to the PCSuite. When i used to use the data transfer mode there were no problem. But the day when i connected to the PCS, my E51 also showed this abnormal behaviour. Guess there is some permanent solution to this...

[aliasghari]

I have this problem too . Nokia Support!!!!!!! please solve this problem

[coopere]

it happened to me for the first time over the weekend, then again during this week. rebooting seemed to solve the problem. another thing i realise now is the constant freezing up, have to result to removing the battery.
