Hi guys. My name is David from Payette Forward, and I'm David from Payette Forward, and in
this video we're going to show you what to do when your iPhone doesn't vibrate. Now the
first thing to do is just go into the Settings app and make sure Vibrate On Ring and vibrate
on silent are turned on. Yes. So let's go to Settings on your iPhone and then scroll
down to sounds and haptics and now at the very top you'll see vibrating and ringing
and vibrating. Yes. So just make sure those switches are turned on you'll know they're
on when they're green and switches position positioned to the right, right so you can
tap on those switches to talk on the back and forth. Yep. There's another place though.
Let's say your iPhone is ringing. Uh, but it's not vibrating and vibrant and ring is
turned on. There's another place to look so underneath sounds and vibration patterns in
this part of Settings, you'll have individual Settings that you can set ring tone text tone
voicemail. So let's tap on ring type and then scroll all the way to the top. Yep, and you'll
see if I break so tap on vibration and just like Tones on your iPhone there are different
vibration patterns to so synchronized or which is the default means that your iPhone is going
to vibrate along to the music of your ringtone. Pretty cool. There are other ones that are
pretty standard. Yep at the bottom. You can create your own vibration pattern and there's
also none here. So if none is selected under vibration for ringtone, even if Vibrate On
Ring is selected in the Settings app, your iPhone still won't vibrate when it rings.
Yeah, so make sure that this is set to let's say synchronized it falls just stick with
that for now. Yep. So our vibration is on now, we're going to test the vibration motor
of your iPhone. Let's go back to the home screen here and I'm just gonna flip the ring
silent switch on the side of my iPhone back and forth a couple times just to make sure
that the vibration motor is actually working right and I I bet a few people are going to
watch this video and say wait a minute. I didn't know that's which was there. So just
be aware of that on the left-hand side of your iPhone above the volume buttons. There
is this ring silence. Yes. Yeah. So we tested that iPhone still not vibrating not vibrating
there is still a potential software issue of Here so the next step is to Reset All Settings.
Yeah, so when iPhone doesn't vibrate there's a chance that the vibration motor is broken
inside. It's a little thing that can break but a lot of the time it's a software issue
that can easily be resolved. So like David said we're going to go to Settings then we're
going to go to General and scroll to the bottom and tap reset all the way down to the bottom
there. Yeah, and then tap reset that all say now. I'm not going to Reset All Settings on
my iPhone right now because that be a pain in the butt to do. Yeah. Well, so it's not
the end of the world to Reset All Settings. It doesn't delete any of your actual content
your pictures your videos anything like that. But it does Wipe Out the Settings in the Settings
app. Yeah, um and that can have the result of fixing little minor software problem rice
on your iPhone. So Reset All Settings, I've seen that fix vibration right stuff. So the
last software step here Reset All Settings in the work is the DFU restore, right? So
if you're restores the deepest type of restore you can do with an iPhone and it basically
takes every last bit of code off of your iPhone and puts it back on again. Make sure you have
an iCloud or Tunes back up before you begin. Um, and the DFU restore is the last ditch
effort for any Apple tech if they're trying to solve some problem, uh that they think
might be software related. So after you DFU restore your iPhone if it's still not vibrating
you have a hardware problem and we we should mention that we do have a great DFU restore
video. We'll walk through the whole process and we'll link to that in the description
of this video. But as he said, uh, if it DFU restore doesn't work, it's time to probably
get it repaired. Yeah, so they're a couple options. One of them is Apple, obviously if
your iPhone's under warranty, it's that damage Apple is the way to go. Another option is
CellSavers. Well, they're called CellSavers now that's gonna change in about a week and
we don't know what the name is because they won't tell us no, they haven't told us yet.
It's gonna be a big surprise. So it'll be a surprise to you as well. We're gonna link
to that company. Yeah with CellSavers or whatever they're called does is they come to you, uh,
meet you wherever you are and Starbucks at home to fix your iPhone on the spot and you
only pay if it works lifetime warranty cheaper than Apple. We like CellSavers. We like CellSavers
we totally recommend them 100%. Yep. So that's it. That's what to do with your iPhone does
not vibrate. Thank you for watching this video. If it helped you out give us a thumbs up or
