I am also experiencing this problem with my iPhone 3GS (vibrating mechanism sounds like a mini chainsaw). I have an appointment with an Apple Genius on Saturday to have it looked at. Hope I get some good news since silent mode is no longer really silent…Yesterday in a meeting, my phone went off and everyone looked at me, even though it was on vibrate only…an of course, my boss was present also…LOL.

Hi,
I am having the same problem with vibrating. But my warranty has expired and on top of it my phone is unlocked/jailbroken to a non-ATT carrier. Would like to know if Apple will still replace it ? Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance guys.

Last month I bought the 3g. Had to have it replaced twice before I got one that was good. I guess 3rd times a charm. Then the 3gs came out, and I took it in for a swap.
After a day of thinking the speaker sounded weird when getting text messages, I noticed its the vibration and something in the phone slightly rattling when it vibrates.
Is this a problem, or just annoying?
I just don’t know if it is worth it to go all the way to the Apple store out of my way and take more time out of my day to get it replaced AGAIN.
Any suggestions? Should I just suck it up and get it replaced and hope for the best?

By the way- the 3gs rocks. Minus the rattling vibration…

Thanks for this post, found it when I googled “iphone crazy vibrating”. Mine started doing this last night and its incredibly annoying and disruptive. I’ve got a Genius appointment this afternoon…

Thanks again!
