Vibration Test
Test your phone's vibration motor online: a 30-second guided check of strength, short taps and steadiness, plus patterns and your own rhythm.
Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
This device can vibrate from the browser. Hold it in your hand, then start the check or try a vibration.

Computers have no vibration motor. Scan this code with your phone's camera to open the test there, or type this address:

iPhone and iPad cannot vibrate from a web page
Apple does not let any browser on iPhone or iPad use the vibration motor, so the check below cannot run here. Two ways to test it anyway:
A light tap
On iOS 18 and later, turning this switch on or off gives a light tap, if System Haptics is on in Settings → Sounds & Haptics.
The motor, in Settings
Open Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone → Haptics (or Vibration) → Create New Vibration. While your finger touches the screen, the phone vibrates at full strength. Leave with Cancel: nothing is saved.
This browser cannot use the vibration motor. Open this page in Chrome or Samsung Internet.
Guided check
Four short questions, about 30 seconds. Hold the phone in your hand, in a quiet room, and take off a thick case if you can.
Try vibrations
Patterns
Your own rhythm
Tap a rhythm on the pad: the phone vibrates while your finger is down. Recording stops two seconds after the last tap.

Good to know
Web pages can make Android phones vibrate in Chrome-based browsers only, and a browser only switches the motor on and off: it cannot set or measure its strength.
What this vibration test checks
A phone that no longer vibrates means missed calls and alarms, and a buzzing or rattling vibration often announces a failing motor. This test drives the vibration motor of your phone from the browser and helps you judge three things:
- Strength. Whether a one-second vibration is felt clearly, weakly or not at all.
- Short taps. Whether the motor can make a very short tick and six separate pulses, which modern haptic motors do and older ones blur.
- Steadiness. Whether a five-second vibration holds steady, and whether it makes a noise.
You can also play common patterns, a single vibration of the length you choose, and a rhythm you tap yourself. Nothing is installed, and nothing leaves your phone.
How to test the vibration of an Android phone
- Open this page on the phone, in Chrome, Samsung Internet, Edge or another Chrome-based browser.
- Take off a thick case if you can, hold the phone in your palm, and stay in a quiet room.
- Press Start the check and answer each question. Each step vibrates when it appears; Vibrate again repeats it.
- Read the three results, then save them if you want to compare later or share them, for example with a repair shop or a buyer.

How to read your results
| Result | Good | What else can happen |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Clear | Weak: check the vibration intensity setting and the case; a worn motor gets weaker. Not felt: see “No vibration at all” below. |
| Short taps | Crisp: a sharp tick and six separate pulses | Soft: the tick is missed or the pulses blur into one buzz. That is how older, simpler motors behave, not a fault on its own. |
| Steadiness | Steady for five seconds | Uneven: the vibration weakens, stops or comes and goes. Noisy: grinding or rattling. Both point to a worn or loose motor. |
Phones use two kinds of motors. Older and cheaper phones spin a small off-centre weight: it needs a moment to start and stop, so short taps feel soft. Recent phones use a linear motor that moves a mass back and forth: it starts at once, which gives crisp taps. Both are healthy when the long vibration is clear and steady.
A browser can switch the motor on and off, but it cannot feel the vibration or measure its strength. Every result here is your own answer, which is also how a technician checks a motor by hand.
iPhone and iPad
Apple does not let any browser on iPhone or iPad use the vibration motor, so no website can run a real vibration test there. The page offers two alternatives:
- A light tap. On iOS 18 and later, turning the switch on the page on or off gives a light tap, if System Haptics is on in Settings → Sounds & Haptics.
- The motor in Settings. Open Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone → Haptics (or Vibration) → Create New Vibration. While your finger touches the screen, the phone vibrates at full strength. Leave with Cancel: nothing is saved.
Troubleshooting
No vibration at all
- Check that vibration is on in the system settings (Sound and vibration, Vibration and haptics, Touch feedback), and that its intensity is not at zero.
- Turn off Do Not Disturb, battery saver and power saving modes: they can stop vibrations.
- Use Chrome or Samsung Internet. Other browsers may not allow vibration.
- Restart the phone, then try again. If the phone does not vibrate for calls either, the motor or its connection is likely faulty.
The vibration is weak
Raise the vibration intensity in the settings, take the phone out of its case, and hold it in your hand rather than on a soft surface. If the vibration stays weak, the motor is worn, and a repair shop can replace it.
The vibration buzzes or rattles
A loose screw, a damaged motor or a part that moved after a fall can rattle. If the noise appears only with a case on, the case is the cause.
The phone vibrates for calls but not here
Web pages can only vibrate the phone after you have touched the page, and some browsers block vibration entirely. Tap the page once, then try again, or open it in Chrome.
Frequently asked questions
Can a website change the strength of the vibration?
No. Browsers only let a page switch the motor on and off and choose how long. Pages that offer “intensity” levels cannot really change the strength of the motor.
Can this test damage the motor or drain the battery?
No. The vibrations are short, and the page stops them when you press Stop or leave. Long vibrations use some battery, like any vibration. Hold the phone so that it does not slide off a table.
Do tablets vibrate?
Many tablets have no vibration motor at all. If the page says that the device can vibrate but you feel nothing, check the tablet’s specifications before suspecting a fault.
Can I test a game controller’s vibration?
Yes, with the gamepad test, which makes most controllers rumble in Chrome and Edge.
Is anything recorded or sent to TestrHub?
No. The vibrations are triggered on your phone and nothing is recorded. Saved results stay in your browser, and a result is only shared if you copy its link.
Which test should I run next?
The touch screen test checks that every part of the screen responds to your fingers.
