Vibration stopped working - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Suddenly the vibration and the haptic feedback does not work.
I've tried every option I can think of to fix it but still no vibration.
Any advice to get it working again would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also having the same problem. Suddenly I can't seem to find the vibration options in the message notification settings.
I also tried the suggestion above and it did not work for me.
I read somewhere that resetting to factory settings worked for them. But I'm still looking for other options or the cause of the problem before resorting to resetting or going for repairs.
Attached screenshots for those who would want to help.

[Q] How to disable the lockscreen sound?

There is an extremely annoying sound/notification that plays sometimes when I unlock the lock screen. I've looked in the settings and can not seem to find anything to turn this off. Anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks for the reply but I've already checked that and it's unchecked in there. I've tried checking it then unchecking but no matter what the dam sound remains.
Mine hasn't ever made a sound unlocking it

Weird.. And when you restart your phone its still there? Could be a problem with the Sense app that can be fixed by restarting it

I think you have to manually set it to do that

Yep, I've tried turning it on and restarting the phone. Then turning it back off and restarting. Also did those steps and pulled the battery. Got frustrated and just reset the phone and still no change. It's weird too because if I simply flick to unlock the screen it doesn't play the sound as often. If I take my time and slide the unlock screen and slowly release the touch then it almost always makes the sound.
Guess I can just live with it till I can through another ROM on it. Probably just an isolated issue within my Sense.

Thanks for the try
*bump
Sorry to bump this up but it's seriously annoying and I'd rather not take the phone in for exchange.
Has anyone else had this issue or anything even remotely like it? Any other suggestions, etc? I appreciate any help offerings in advance.
The only help I can offer is disabling the Lockscreen all together. At least until we get full root and you can just flash a ROM or figure out what the problem is. Screen Mode Widget (free in the market) will do that

Has anyone figured this out? It's extremely annoying. It happens every time I unlock the phone.
The lock screen sound setting someone else mentioned in this thread is an additional little beep that gets added on if you have the sound option checked. This noise is completely different and plays regardless of whether or not you have the option checked, or whether or not you have a lockscreen pattern.

over six months since your OP and you still haven't fixed this?
have you rooted? tried different ROMs? If your going to bump this topic at least update everyone on what you've tried.
Have you tried to delete the lock sound sound from system/media?

How did you get it back? Mine stopped working randomly.
Mine just stopped working this morning..can anyone help? I tried to reset, I tried turning it on and off - nothing. Vibration with calls and notifications still work and so does the vibration on my keyboard.
It's only the soft keys. I'm stumped.

I might have a similar issue; I've notice for a while that the haptic turns itself off. I'm not sure what causes it or how to permanently fix, so so far all I've been able to do is go back into settings/sound/haptic feedback and turn it on again.

Static (hardware) keys dont light up sometimes. Help.

I'm running Mazdas AOKP 3.0 and ive noticed that on some AOSP ROMs sometimes the harware keys (home,menu, etc.) Dont light up. When I firsf flash rom they work fine but after a while they dont turn on most of the time. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure why they stop working with that ROM, but here's a post with a manual way to adjust the brightness.

So I gave it a try and it worked but it didn't. The lights turn on but now they wont turn off even when screen locks unless I reboot and then I have to edit again. So Ill keep searching. Thanks though man its better than it was...

Go to Settings-> Sound and then turn haptic feedback on.

And if that doesn't help then take Power Saving mode off.

I think beyond a vibrator (giggle) failure these are the two most logical options.
I have the opposite problem. My back, home and menu buttons vibrate when I touch them. How can I disable the vibration? I'm using android 4.2.1
This are my current settings.
