Vibration weak/not working

Looks like this will come to a hardware problem.

I noticed I was missing calls because the vibration on my G3 was not working.
I downloaded a vibrate test app and it has two options. One long vibration and one constant short vibration.
My phone refuses to vibrate sometimes, but if I shake it, it starts vibrating for a short time (testing the short vibration option)
If I use the long vibration and shake it, it vibrates "infinitely".

When it works properly, the vibration looks stronger.
In other words, it's look like a battery that it's not properly placed.
It's weak/not working but works sometimes.
TBH, it has been very weak/not working in the last few days.

Should I search for a assistance center and ask for a changing on my G3 vibrate motor,
or should I try anything special (Lollipop bug)?
 
Sounds like a hardware problem,no software will fix this,the test app has pretty much proved that.
To remove all doubt run the test app on another phone & if possible,on another G3.
