Does anyone know what that top left symbol is in the notification bar? I have no idea what it is..
On Checkrom 3.5
Turn on notifications.

It means that notifications are turned off. You can turn them on by tapping Notification in the status menu: http://i.imgur.com/bipCg.png
(If you don't see that option, you may need to restore the original toggles - since I don't use CheckROM I don't know if its latest release is using the custom 15 toggles which IIRC don't have the notification toggle option)

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.
Thought I'd share. For those of you that are looking for an alternative to the power button LED for missed notifications, XDA just featured an app called Buttonled by GermainZ. Basically, it turns your hard buttons into your led.
Thanks to ewcrider, if you prefer the red power button LED in place of the capacitive buttons, use the first file path on the list, led:red, instead of button-backlight/brightness.
Been using it for a couple hours and it's working great, so far.
Make sure to enable in accessibility.
Find the apk and give all thanks to GermainZ at the link below.

Thanks for sharing. Are you using the HDPI or MDPI version? Sorry if this is a noob question but I don't know what those mean. :silly:
This should also be able to control the power button LED if you desire.

Yep. Select the one with "led:red" in the path. For me it was the first in the list.

You should get a prompt with a warning in the title, click it, then the different options will appear.

After I tap this nothing happens. I'll have to enter the path manually. Any chance you know what it is?

I couldn't find it manually, myself. I did the auto locate. My first install was kinda buggy, try deleting the app and try again.

Thanks I'll try that. Btw checking the app under aspect ratio correction makes it fullscreen I discovered.
EDIT: Got it working. Here is the full path for the power LED.

Awesome, glad to hear you got it going. Not sure if I prefer the buttons or the power led. Kinda like how the red led glows though.

I really like the red. Changing the flash intervals works with this app so I'm happy as a clam now. Couldn't stand the long off delay or whatever it's called, haha.
I saw this in the XDA Twitter feed. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

After my second install I no longer get a laggy app. Might help you too?
Wow amazing find. Thanks for sharing.
Here is how I set it up, if anyone wants to know. This works just like BLN.
Pick the /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/button-backlight/brightness PATH. (Should be the second one)
I set Turn LED on for 7200 (Which, if my math doesn't suck, should be two hours.)
Then I set Turn LED off for 0
Finally I hit, Enable ButtonLED in accessibility. (This took a while to pull up, I recommend doing it yourself through the settings)

Can you clarify a little more what that does. I figure it leaves the backlight on for two straight hours?

That's about it. Basically, if I am awake I will see if there is a notification within the two hours. But if I'm asleep I don't want the capacitive LEDs on for the whole 8 or so hours I sleep. I also don't want them to pulse or turn off if there is a notification. Two hours just seemed like a good medium.
Samsung GSIII Version GT-19300
CM10.1 - Nightly 20130610
My torch/flash light is permanently on. Switching it on via the app makes it dimmer and then it goes to high brightness when toggled. I have managed to turn it off by toggling the app a number of times, but it always switches on again.
I cant see any services that could be causing this to happen.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I think some app of yours is misbehaving... If you don't know which app it is then the only way is to do a full data wipe and adding apps one by one..
Maybe you can look at the logs after your torchlight switches on..

I did a full reset and re installed cyanogen mod using clockwork mod. But the problem persists.
Im beginning to think it could be a hardware issue.. It stays on even if i just boot into recovery mode, or when the samsung logo appears on startup.
Is this possible?
