Broken haptic ? Please help! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i was using my phone and without any reason, the haptic has stopped to works.. Also if i try to get recovery or download mode, no haptic..
Any tip?
Thanks

Go to Settings -> Sounds and check if Haptic Feedback is off?
Also, check if you are using the Power Saver mode.
If I'm not wrong, by default it turns off the haptic feedback.

Might be an hardware issue then.
Time to visit the Service center

Check if you have the power savings mode enabled. That turns of haptic also.

Hi!
If doing factory reset still doesn't do the job, then you might as well download a stock firmware and see if that does the job. If not, then I'ma fraid to say that it's a hardware problem.. Send it to the Service Center ASAP!
I hope this helps! Cheers

check your settings, and turn off power saving,

[Q] Change Power Button behaviour on call in CM7?

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

This is useless to me, since I almost never use my phone holding it. I use the earphones that come with it.

which cm7 are u using btw????
I don't think the setting for the power button is in Accessibility on CM, try looking around the CM menu, I think that's where it is.

No, I don't have eyes.
There are a few different variations of CM, and the one I used to have (I think it's the one by vo-1) had that setting in the CM menu.
Even LeWa has it

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

Nah, too much trouble. I want it more simple, like it was on stock. And it has to be somewhere on the settings, maybe I'm just not finding it.
good luck in finding it.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

Strange bug : impossible to wake the phone when it's locked

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.

Led Problem

Hallo XDA Friends,
I have a problem with the LED on my month old s3 ( euro unbranded )
Everything was going great with the LED I Installed Light flow everything was still fine.
I updated to JB official stock rom as i am unrooted, and since then the LED only works when
i boot up the phone and when i use the Test utility ( red green blue ) colours. With lightflow uninstalled
and no LED management software still nothing works. Also not with screen off.
Now I am stuck because it clearly is not a Hardware problem as It works on boot and in test mode,
But not in anny other situation.
I hope someone here can help me and thanks in advance!
check lightflow in the accessibility settings.
if done already to go lightflow settings > uncheck enable lightflow > close app.
open light flow again and enable lightflow.

Hi,
First, download Light Manager on play store, use this app, not include in sammy rom.
If you are rooted, try Siyah Kernel, go to STweak, Misc > Notification > Fading.
Now, all is okay, no problems
Uncheck Lightflow in rom settings, or a big battery drain will coming...
Sorry for my awful english ^^'

Hey,
if it happens again, type *#0*# and click on LED. It will test your LED, you only have to click on the screen to change the color. After three colours, it is tested. If you can't activate the call LED in settings, try to reset or reflash your phone!
TheRealFelix0212 said:
The best way to reset ya phone is to go in to your Stock Recovery ( Vol. Up + Home Button + Sleep/Wake). There you have to choose "wipe data/factory reset" with "Vol. Down Button". Confirm with the "Sleep/Wake Button". Now you have to confirm that you want to wipe your phone. Use the "Vol. Down Button" again,choose something like "Yes, wipe all
users" and confirm with "Sleep/Wake Button"!

Hey guys.. I've been having some real trouble with my LED Notifications. Let me give you the gist.
- Battery Light = Working
- Notification Light = Worked for about 2 Weeks after I got the C10 mod, hasn't worked since..
I've done all the basic things I could do.. Went through settings, and rebooted.. I really was just hoping for a quick fix and to realize I was just stupid, but I don't think that's the case. Anyone that can help, please give out a shout. Thanks!
Samsung Galaxy S3 i717 (AT&T) - Rooted - C10 Mod
Have you, by any chance, dropped the phone or made it shock abruptly? Because where I live, many around me, including myself, have seen LED capability die entirely on our i9305 and i9300 Samsung devices.
Face it: It's **** hardware. Crappy produce. Non-lasting, profit-based disposable plastic garbage. Ensuring infinite growth on a finite planet. Which is why we will ALL be gone in, say, 2040.

[Q] proximity sensor during calls, and lock screen notification problem

EDIT:I fixed it! turns out it was a hardware problem which occured after i replaced the screen. It was fixed by following instructions on this youtube video,called "How to Fix Proximity Sensor Issue for Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, or Note 2" ( i can't link right now because I'm new, so just look it up on youtube.) so if anyone encounters the same problem hope this video will help!
Hey guys. New to the forum I tried to do a bit of searching but couldn't really find an answer.
So I have two questions/problems I guess.
First off when I go into a call, sometimes the phone screen goes black as soon as I start the call, and won't turn back on until I hang up using the power button. From what I understand it's due to the proximity sensor always being on? But I have not been able to find a solution to this.
Secondly is, I've noticed with the lock screen notifications, when I ticked the option for wakescreen when receiving notifications, and when the screen is off, the proximity sensor is on. and when i untick the wake screen option, it goes off again.
I'm using Fusion-Boeffla Rom latest version as of now, 26-02-14 one. But this problem has been around when I was testing different roms such as temasek unofficial CM.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

i can't click the link, but i've seen that option in stock samsung roms before, but i can't seem to find it on my rom. And you're right, its very likely its a rom/kernel issue, i may try a different rom or even stock to see if it helps =) thanks
