Help Samsung Fascinate not vibrating

[hwurtzel]

Today my phone stopped vibrating. When I turn the phone on vibrate it doesn't work and the vibrate on key press doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Or would I just be better off taking it to Verizon?

1. Is it rooted?

2. Did you recently install any new roms/kernels?

You may need to take it in, but first try clearing caches on your most oft used apps/widgets. Your device may not have the resources to vibrate.

If you don't use a cache clearing app, go into menu > settings > applications > manage applications > menu > sort by size, then after they all load, start at the top of the list and start clicking away.

Reboot your device once you've finished, then test the haptic feedback and vibrate notifications.
