Problem with menu & back button - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, please help me with this. All of a sudden, when I press the back or menu button on my SGS 3, I don't feel the phone vibrate slightly. The menu button & back button work fine, but it doesn't respond with a slight vibration like it used to. I've gone into settings and made sure to turn on haptic feedback, although I'm not sure if this is the option or not. Can anyone help or should I take this phone back to the store?

nevermind...figured it out

[Q] X10 Mini Pro Vibration Problem

Hi! I just noticed that my vibration doesn't work when I get notifications, I tested the vibration in the secret menu. There the vibration worked. i really don't know what the problem is. I have checked and unchecked all the settings in the settings, but it still won't work. Can it maybe be because of the root I did yesterday on the phone?
Please help me. I really need the vibration
Regards Paul
You can try doing a soft reset by pressing and holding the home key and the power button ( together at the same time ) . Don't worry it wont delete anything.

Menu and Back Button BROKEN ?

I didn't find anything about that, but it seems that I have a problem with Menu and back button... mainly the back button.
Normaly, when a I press menu or back button, both illuminate. Since today, sometime, only the menu or back button illuminate. The one that does not illuminate is not working.
I tried to press everywhere on the phone, shake it, removing sim, rebooting, etc... didnt find what cause that. Could be hardware or software (I have stock rom).
Anyone have seen this?
Thanks !
well... playing a bit with it today. I hold it flat in my hand, turning left or right... light were blinking on menu or back button... sound like hardware problems

Capactive buttons?

I dont know if its the viper rom or my phone, but either these things are sensitive as hell all of the sudden cuz of this rom or maybe its just a defective phone.
Recently my phone will be vibrating by itsself while its in my hand, and the menu button might popup or the search button. If i press the back button once, it performs like a double tap and goes all the way to the home screen lol
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hmm my prime wont vibrate at all.

Just bought, rooted and flashed the aokp rom. I went under sound and enable vibrate on touch, but when i pressed the 3 menu buttons it wont vibrate at all like in the store. Only when i select widget does it vibrate, any idea on how to enable haptic feedback?
Haptic feedback on the Prime can be pretty weak for most actions, so it might simply be that it's turned on (you've selected the right setting) but not noticeable. I've noticed myself that I can most feel feedback when manipulating home screen items and certain other tasks (like selecting photos in the Gallery app).
Most of the time, I can't feel the feedback when doing things like hitting the buttons. It's also quite inconsistent.
Whats weird though is that i tried it at bestbuy and when i press the home button i can actually feel it vibrate, but nothing is happening right now so maybe its because of the rom?

Help needed asap

Guys i was in my settings a few minutes ago and i came across a feature which enabled me to open up my notifications by just tapping the screen so i enabled it and went to the homescreen to test it! Upon tapping the screen the phone started maing a beeping noise and a blue line started scrolling continously downward on the screen! I cant turn the phone off ! I only seem to be able to reboot it which doesnt help! I needto power the phone off i assume and then maybe do a hard reset??? Advice needed please
anyone?
What setting did you access I don't believe anybody will be able to help if we don't know where you went and what you changed. The things you mention are very vague and don't really paint a picture of what is happening.
Also if you want to turn the phone off without using the on screen settings just hold onto the power button for about 10 seconds it should turn off, after that hold power, home button, and volume up to go into recovery to reset or what ever it is you please.
Also is it showing you an X and Y axis? If so then you just go into settings, developer settings, show screen updates and turn that off the grid should go away. I am not sure what your issue is but that seems like the most likely option.
