Vibrate no longer working on iPhone...PLEASE HELP
My iPhone is no longer vibrating. It's a 2nd Generation, 16gb iPhone. All settings are set to vibrate, yet still nothing. I restarted the phone (holding the lock and home button), as well as powered it down. Still nothing. PLEASE HELP!

If all else fails you can probably have it replaced under warranty. I had the same issue with a 1st gen iphone that was still nder warranty and I took it to an Apple sotre and it was replaced.
If I've helped you, you can help me by clicking on that Thanks button.

Give it a clean restore, shake it around, knock it against your palm, etc. but yeah it's under warranty, unless you decided to open your iPhone and screw around in thar.

remove the t-mobile sim card and go. you don't need either for warranty work.
I would suggest sending a pm to "moderator" cprj, He does this all the time and he could give you more details on how it works. He should be back on here tomorrow.
