Vibration Problem
My phone vibrates only when it's in a right position, for example, on its side. This is probably a hardware defect, but knowing Linux, it might just be one of those bizarre things it does. Anyone else have this?

For me the problem started last week ... I can only get the vibration working again when shaking the phone :-/. I contacted care let's see what they say. My main problem is that this is my only phone :-/.
The good thing is I have a pebble which vibrations even when the phone does not :x.
FYI: I had a similar problem with vibration motor, after month 5 it stopped working, I run the csd tool and by gently tapping on the phone I managed to get the motor unstuck. This fix lasted for another 2 months or so, until it become very unreliable. Anyway, I contacted care@jolla.zendesk.com and they suggested to send my phone to them for repair.
The phone was repaired under guarantee and the whole process sending/repairing/receiving lasted less than 2 weeks at zero cost to me ;-)

Update: Problem went away for a while, but today vibration stopped working altogether. The vibration just makes a tiny noise instead of, you know, vibrating.

ibomol3 ( 2014-02-17 20:05:18 +0200 )editI think the vibration engine thingy gets stuck, as if you swing the phone a bit it helps it start working again
Bulder ( 2014-02-18 09:24:20 +0200 )editI'm also having this problem. Sometimes the vibration starts working again, but then suddenly stops. Most of the time vibration isn't working.
