Hi,

I think you're missing what we're saying though.  If from off, you just hold
down the power button to turn it on, it doesn't vibrate and you don't know
when the screen comes on.

All the best

Steve

Mine does all the time, it is brilliant.  For instance I am talking about if

I need to charge it from dead, I put in the power and as soon as it comes on

it comes up speaking and vibrating all over the place, making a big noise 
with the vibration.
