Hi guys, my s3's haptic feedback stopped working all of a sudden and I don't know what is wrong with it. I checked sound settings and advanced settings and haptic feedback appears enabled. I'm running aokp 40 and siyah 1.2.6. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware issue. Has anyone had any experience with Samsung rma before (I'm using an international unit bought from clove and I live in Canada)? Or is there a vibration seeing that i have not checked yet or something? Thanks.

I know this answer may be too late for you, but for other people...
I had this same issue recently. Haptic feedback was ON in sound settings but still no joy when touching menu buttons.
Turns out my phones 'Power Saving mode' was ON.
If you go into Power Saving mode you'll see that one of its ways of saving your battery is to turn off haptic feedback.
Just so the phone can confuse you though it wont turn it off from the settings in sound, it will just turn it off and still appear 'on' in sound settings!
Hope this helps.
THANK YOU!

You for real solved an ongoing 4 day issue for me on my stock Galaxy Note2! Lol I didn't know that the power save ended up being on.
Thank you for actually posting in case others ran into it!

If your Vibrant has been acting up recently, not vibrating for SMS/Emails, or just plain not vibrating at all - I may have found a fix that doesn't require a HARD RESET.
I searched and searched the Vibrant forums as this morning, I was having a MAJOR problem as far as my vibrations not working for my SMS or GMail. I changed NOTHING - I installed NO APPS, yet for some reason this morning, i stopped getting vibrations.
Just wanted to let you guys know my phone was set up for perfect notifications, with vibration checked in EACH individual program, and overall vibration checked for notifications and ringtones. Vibrate for SMS wasn't working for silent / vibrate / or ringer mode.
I saw that this may be an unresolved issue, and found a few posts on other forums addressing the issue.
Go to Market
Download "Sound Manager"
Run it
Press menu
Vibrate settings
make sure under BOTH ringer and notification vibrate, you have "VIBRATE WHENEVER POSSIBLE" checked.
This fixed all of my vibration problems, now it's super vibratey again lol.
Hope this helps, saw a few of you had still unanswered posts regarding loss of vibration.
Thanks for the tip!
I've been screwing around with my settings all morning trying to figure out why the hell my phone vibrations were not working correctly. A search on this forum led me to this post.
Followed your instructions and problem solved. Thanks a bunch.
Is their actually a place in the stock settings where you can select vibration alerts for incoming text messages and email messages?
For SMS, go into the main Messaging screen (where it shows the seperate threads for each contact) and hit the menu key. Then go to settings. The last option is for vibration.

Ah, never looked at the menu before. Thanks!
Awesome worked for me. Thanks
There's also an app called "Quick Settings" that fixes the vibration for this phone.

The GMail app also has the vibrate option.
fixed and no need to keep the sound manager installed if not wanted
Fixed my problem here, Galaxy S Vibrant. I recall downloading sound manager a week or so ago and uninstalled the same day. Was pleased to find that reinstalling, leaving the may vibrate whenever button checked, and uninstalling the program lead to good vibrations. plz 4give me This site has been a great resource, TY all
lol i just rebooted my phone...
So i have set vibrate whenever possible checked for both options and have checked vibrate on the menu>settings and sms>menu>settings etc. But it still doesnt vibrate when i received texts or called in vibrate mode. when i adjust volume on the side, it doesnt vibrate when i turn it down to the vibrate setting. also, haptic doesnt work. could my vibrating mechanism be broken or something? or is it a software problem?
I use my phone as a vibrator.

Did you flash a new ROM? I'm not familiar with galaxy y??
I approve this message.
hey guys...I have a strange situation here..I used cm9 for couple of day with allright haptic feedback. I reverted(backup) with CWM to my initial 2.3.5 firmware and now I have Haptic Vibration Feedback issue. Now, I installed the stock firmware with ODIN. I still got the Issue..Tried wipe cache...data/user everything.
Thanks for helping.
Go to Settings -> Sound, make sure Haptic Feedback is checked on and Vibration intensity is properly set (at the biggest point).

Thanks for your advice, but it`s obvious that i checked that cuz I get low vibration when writing on the keyboard or pressing the buttons.
When I move the Vibration intensity scroll I get the good feedback but after pressing oke...I get the low vibration again.
I just got HTC Radar for T-Mobile.
Does anyone know how to turn off the haptic feedback on this phone?
I can turn off the vibrate from the sound & ringtone setting but can't find the way to turn this haptic feedback off when I touch the return/windows/search button.
Thanks in advance.
What do you mean haptic feedback ?
When my Radar ring if I touch back/win/search buttons nothing happens I have to slide up in case to answer the call.
As far as I know, you cannot turn off the haptic feedback. I think this applies to all windows phones.

What I mean is when you touch any of those 3 buttons, the phone vibrates to confirm our touch.

Probably you have a case or somehow are pressing the volume all the way down.
Remember either lowering the volume or power button plus silent mode are the quick shortcuts to enable Vibration mode.
Also when a call is received and the phone is upside down can make the ringing on mute.

In my case Timeriffic was automatically reinstalled from Google Play. the default setting was to set the phone to vibrate at 8PM Mon - Thu. All sorted now.

i had the same problem, you can activate or deactivate this option under settings/sound/automatic feedback
Hmm,
Can't seem to find that seting on my phone, so will have to hope that it was because of Timeriffic.

I know this is an old thread, but all of a sudden my phone seems to randomly switch sound on throughout the day, after i put it on vibrate. I wonder if there's a way to enable vibrate only via the notification bar, rather than the volume keys.
In my opinion the volume keys should only control the current volume, rather than the sound "profile" (mute, sound, vibrate).
Anyway i will be doing some looking into why this seems to happen.
1) you have a case which is pressing the Volume button down
2) Try turning off AUTO HAPTIC FEEDBACK
3) try resetting your phone if all else fails

i have same weird vibrating problems also. I normally set my phone to sound mode no vibrate. whenever someone text me it automatically change the mode to sound+vibrate I've been trying anything but to no avail this still persists.
and BTW I'm using GO SMS.
Even i have been facing this problem with various ROMs..what could be the issue? any help?
S3 auto turns to Vibrate mode
Hi,
For last 2 weeks, i am facing a same problem. randomly few times in a day, message default ring tone rang without any message and after a while (may be after few seconds) it turns to Vibrate.
the only thing new happened to my phone is, its board died all of a sudden (bgr[dot]com/2012/12/21/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-hardware-failure-262887/) and the Samsung service center has replaced it with new board. since then i am facing this problem.
I was using the Nova launcher before the repair, and now after the repair using the same Nova launcher.
Any idea? anyone else facing the same issue? btw, i have turned off the haptic feedback as well, restart the phone also, but issue still persists.
any feedback would be highly appreciated, thanks.

Guys, I am facing similar problem and nothing else is working. I think we should compare notes to find out what is the cause of this problem. Tell me what ROM are you running? Custom or Stock. If custom then which one? What 3rd Party apps are you running that can schedule tasks e.g Tasker, Scheduler etc. Have you turned off Haptic feedback and motion under your phone settings?
My Answers:
Custom ROM Yes
Ripper ROM (Love it and big fan)
Haptic Feedback Off
Motion Feature Disabled
3rd Party Apps Yes
Tasker Yes
Scheduler No
Call recording Yes
I have sam problem with NOTE 2.
Every last incoming call set my "default" sound profil .Depend what I have set ( sound, vibration, mute....) at the incoming call moment.
I found out that AVG antivirus is a problem???? I delete AVG and for now ( two days ) all is OK.
Maybe its the auto mute
There is a feature under motion that puts the phone in vibrate/silent when you "turn it down", maybe that is what is causing you problems? My phone was muting itself with no logical reason and deactivating it did the trick, hope it works for you
Power Saving Mode turns off haptic feedback. However, when I disable PSM, I expect haptic feedback to turn on again, but it remains off. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this supposed to work this way? Is there a way to automatically turn haptic feedback back on after disabling PSM?

I noticed that too, I always have to turn it back on manually.
Your "restrict performance" setting may still be on without psm, also your haptic feedback could be off because of silent mode, or haptic feedback intensity could be turned down.
