Phone Vibrates when making Calls

Thanks for the replies. Sometimes when we hold it up to our ear, the screen goes off & it doesn't vibrate, but other times it does. Not sure if it is the angle holding it, or just that the screen has not gone off yet.

 

Anyway, thanks again, I'll keep testing it to see if I can tell why it does sometimes vibrate (right in her ear)..

The HTC EVO 4GLTE vibrates when making outgoing calls.. just before it rings. I searched & cannot find anyway to turn it off. I don't mind it, but it drives my wife crazy. Any help?

 

This is normal. It is designed that way if the screen is still on to alert you that the call has been established. When you hold it to your ear, by default, the screen turns off by the proximity sensor, thus you will hear the call connecting and the vibrate feature is not present.

I have been a Sprint Care Rep for a long time. HTC used to have a toggle to turn off the buzz but after the Hero, Sprint had the toggle removed as an option. I have no idea why they did this but I've many calls since then how much the buzz bugs people. Me, included!

One thing you can do is before the call connects, just bring the phone to your ear and then no buzz...!

    • Bloosurf is petitioning to deny T-Mobile's request for an STA specifically in their service area. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Ghl9knTSFp8J4nVm1P9qL4541XR1gy58whH7Yyz0MwGs037gQrNV!-2042069078!-79842837?applType=search&fileKey=1297203795&attachmentKey=21718533&attachmentInd=applAttach Short read but pretty much they're saying that T-Mobile's operations in the BRS/EBS band has been interfering with Bloosurf's LTE-based WISP network and that this has caused them harm (lose customers, etc.) They claim that allowing T-Mobile access to all of the spectrum they bought in or near Bloosurf's service area would cause even more interference. To be fair they aren't wrong. They mention that in 2021 the FCC investigated and determined that T-Mobile was operating outside of its licensed spectrum band there. However, I get the sense that Bloosurf is just trying to stop a competitor from operating in their service area. Typically carriers work this kind of stuff out among each other. Here in NYC, 3/4ths of Brooklyn has 140MHz of n41 deployed and the southern 1/4th of it has 80MHz deployed thanks to an incumbent that leases the spectrum from the archdiocese. In spite of that there are no complaints of interference from NextWave in such a dense environment. Seems to me like Bloosurf just doesn't want to coordinate with T-Mobile and would rather complain to delay the deployment of spectrum for as long as possible. EDIT: It's not just their service area, it's a larger area surrounding their service area as well. Something's fishy about this request. 
    • Really cool blog post from OpenSignal giving a broad overview over the mobile network experience in NYC.  https://www.opensignal.com/2023/03/30/localized-analysis-reveals-huge-network-experience-gaps-between-mobile-users-in-the-us
    • Bit too early to tell imo. It's good news if Dish can stop the hemorrhaging. Q3/Q4 2022 they were able to stop the hemorrhaging. Their previous 6 quarters they lost between 160k and 350k subs each. Their next report will be interesting to see how they were impacted subscriber wise due to the hack.
    • I really wish this wasn't still so shrouded in mystery.  I see these phones available new on eBay (Boost locked, but again, I don't care) for $99, and would love to buy one of those and activate a Rainbow SIM on the $100/year plan, and I can't find a good answer on whether or not that is something that can be done, even if I drove down to Richmond to try to do it.  Don't really want to be out the $100 if they won't let me do it. - Trip
