Vibration only when the phone is off?

Dear all,

I got a problem and I do not know which the cause can be. I thought of a Hardware failure but my thoughts are chaging towards a software failure.

These are the facts: - I dropped my phone accidentally three weeks ago and it got only a small bump in the upper right side. However, the phone kept working as if nothing had happened (yeiiiiii!!). Vibration still worked flawlessly (As per configuration, vibration is always activated) - Two days ago, while I was writing a message, the phone vibrated as usual while I was tipping the letters. While I was tipping it suddenly stopped vibrating. - I tried several restarts, configuration changes, shaking (!!). And nothing happened. No more vibration.

And now the fun facts: - When I connect the phone to the charger while it is on, I only get the charging screen-notification. - BUT, when I connect the phone to the charger when it is off, I get the charging screen-notification as well as "the usual small charging vibration-notification" and the phone begins charging.

This is the point in which I thought that maybe it wasn't a hardware failure.

Has anybody seen or experienced this behavior? I did not find anything regarding this problem. Therefore, I am writing this post.

Best regards from Germany, Fabio
