Expert Advice & Tips
Below are practical, battle-tested tips to understand and handle Galaxy A8 Star vibration issues.
1. Common causes of this issue:
- Faulty vibration motor or dirty motor contacts causing weak feedback.
- Loose or damaged flex cable connections to the vibration unit.
- Dust ingress or water exposure corroding internal components.
- Firmware glitches or outdated software misinterpreting sensor data.
Prevention tips:
- Keep the device dry and in a protective case to shield the motor area.
- Avoid dropping the phone and expose the vibration assembly to shocks.
- Regular software updates to ensure vibration drivers are current.
- Gentle use of haptic features; avoid aggressive long-press vibration patterns.
When to repair vs replace:
- Budget and device age: repairs make sense if you rely on the same phone for 1-2 years more.
- Frequency of faults: recurring issues after repair suggest replacement may be cheaper.
- Repair cost vs replacement: if the quote is high, compare with a new or refurbished Galaxy.
- Warranty impact: a long warranty on repair can justify the cost.
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Clear, written quotes with no hidden fees.
- Use of reputable parts and reliable testing procedures.
- Visible results and post-repair verification across all vibration modes.
- Strong warranty and accessible aftercare.
Red flags to avoid:
- Vague quotes or pressure to proceed without diagnostics.
- No warranty or meaningless terms.
- Parts mismatch, counterfeit labels, or no trace of testing.
- Verifiable store address or aggressive sales tactics.
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Install the latest software updates to maintain drivers.
- Use a sturdy case and screen protector to reduce future shocks.
- Clean the vibration motor area periodically to prevent dust buildup.
- Monitor sound and feel; report changes promptly.
What Our Customers Say
Had the Galaxy A8 Star vibrating oddly after a fall in Marsh. iRepair Guys fixed it within hours, and the vibration feels like new again. The price was fair and the 12-month warranty gave me real peace of mind. Local, convenient, and much quicker than the Apple Store.
Being a small business in Town Centre, we needed a quick fix for a Galaxy device used by staff. iRepair Guys came to our office in Huddersfield, repaired the vibration issue on the A8 Star, and we were back online with no downtime. Reliable mobile service, clear pricing, and a generous business discount.
As a student near Almondbury, I needed a fast fix for my Galaxy A8 Star. The same-day repair saved my timetable, and the student discount helped keep costs down. Compared to Apple, the service was friendlier, quicker, and the warranty is much better.
I live near Lindley and used the mail-in option when I couldn't get to the shop. The team at Marsh fixed the vibration issue on my Galaxy A8 Star and sent it back quickly. Great communication, honest pricing, and the device works perfectly again.
My consultancy in Brighouse needed a quick fix after a client event. iRepair Guys arranged a same-day mobile repair at our office, replaced the faulty vibration motor on the Galaxy A8 Star, and left with a 12-month warranty. Efficient, professional, and reliable—exactly what we needed.
We had multiple Samsung devices for the family, and iRepair Guys handled them all. The vibration issue on one Galaxy A8 Star was resolved, and we benefited from a loyalty discount on the second repair. Quick turnaround, friendly service, and we’ll be back for future fixes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
Pricing for a Galaxy A8 Star vibration issue varies depending on the exact fault and parts required. We provide a transparent, upfront quote before any work begins, and there are no hidden charges. Our local Huddersfield team aims to deliver excellent value with fast turnaround and dependable parts, offering a level of convenience and service quality that’s hard to match at larger chains.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Stores typically have higher overheads, longer queues, and controlled service channels. We specialise in Samsung devices, operate with a lean model, and deliver rapid, local service using high-quality parts. That combination means faster repairs, personalised attention, and warranties that outstrip Apple’s, all while keeping the price fair for the level of service you receive.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No hidden costs. We provide a clear diagnostic and repair quote upfront. If additional issues are found during the repair, we’ll contact you for approval before proceeding. This keeps your budget predictable and ensures you know exactly what you’re paying for, with everything documented in your repair ticket.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer standard payment options and occasional loyalty discounts for local customers and businesses. For frequent users, we can discuss multi-device discounts.

Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
For Samsung Galaxy devices, vibration repairs do not affect biometric features or firmware. We recheck hardware integrations and run a full diagnostic suite to ensure vibration, touch, and camera functions remain intact.

If your Galaxy has several faults, we can address them together. We offer multi-repair discounts for devices with more than one fault and can prioritise urgent issues for business customers where downtime matters most.
