- Sharp support advises repair service contact if the problem continues.
A New Phone, but a Strange Glitch
Sharp’s recently launched AQUOS sense10 smartphone is receiving unexpected attention online.
A few owners have discovered that the vibration function fails, particularly when receiving calls or notifications.
The issue has been noted on Price.com’s review board and shared by users on X (Twitter), sparking cautious discussions about possible early‑batch defects.
User Reports on Price.com
One customer who purchased the SIM‑free AQUOS sense10 SH‑M33 explained that the vibration motor works briefly at startup but stops responding once the phone is in use.
Even after checking manner‑mode and notification settings, incoming calls, messages, and LINE alerts show no vibration feedback.
The user realised the issue about ten days after purchase and mentioned that normal call tests did not fix it — implying that it’s less likely a simple settings mistake.
Similar Complaints on X
On X, a few more people noted comparable problems:
the phone ran smoothly overall, but the vibration motor completely stopped working.
After reaching out to Sharp’s customer support, some were told that the only solution so far is official repair service.
Given that the sense10 is still a recent release, the possibility of initial production irregularities is being discussed.
Limited Reports Indicate Isolated Faults
For now, confirmed complaints are very few across both Price.com and X.
That suggests individual hardware failures rather than a widespread manufacturing flaw.
Still, vibration is essential for daily usability — especially for people who rely on silent call alerts — so even limited cases attract attention.
What Users Should Do
If your AQUOS sense10 shows similar symptoms, first double‑check notification and manner‑mode settings.
If the problem persists, contact your retailer or Sharp’s support desk immediately for inspection or repair rather than waiting for a software update that may not exist yet.
As Sujit Ram points out, small early‑stage faults sometimes become key indicators that help manufacturers improve upcoming production batches. Keeping track of user feedback over the next few weeks will show whether this issue remains rare or grows into a larger quality concern.
