3 Fixes for Vibration Not Working on Android
I rely on the vibration motor of my smartphone to notify me of calls and notifications. I don’t like disturbing people around me, especially in public places. If you are like me but the vibration is not working on your Android phone, here are some solutions you should try assuming your Android OS is updated to the latest version.
1. Check Vibration Settings
