Fix No Vibration When Receiving Notifications on HTC One M9
HTC One M9 managed to capture my attention thanks to its power-packed hardware configuration and refined look and I’m not the only one in this position, but don’t be fooled by appearances. The device is a high-end one, but this doesn’t change the fact that there are various problems being faced by the HTC One M9 users in the last few weeks. Here I want to talk about one of the most common ones: the fact that the vibration motor on the HTC One M9 device is no longer working, with no vibration when receiving notifications.
So, there are several HTC One M9 users who have reported that the vibration motor is not working with notification alerts, despite of the fact that the option is definitelly enabled in the device’s settings menu. If you are one of them as well, then you already know how annoying this might be, so it’s time to take action.
I want to tell you from the start that there is a temporarily solution for the problem; to be more specific, slightly tapping the right edge of the device on the back will solve the issue, but the vibration motor will stop working soon after. In such conditions, you have to look for another solution and I am here to help you:
