[Q] phone lost vibration? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange problem.
E.g. I installed carbon rom. Set it up. Rebooted an lost vibrations. Checked settings an "vibrate on touch" is selected. Haptic is enabled. All seem to be set up for vibrations but phone is not vibrating.
It happens only with AOSP roms. Stock roms are ok.
I also had this problem with slim bean but then clearing cache and dalvig was helping for a while.
I tried different kernels but still not vibrating.
Even in recovery it is not vibrating on touch.
Any one experienced something like this before and knows the fix?

If it's not vibrating in recovery when it normally does, it can't be a rom problem. Maybe its hardware and coincidence? Give the phone a tap o. The side. Perhaps the motor got stuck

Ok. So I've installed stock rom and vibration is back. Just flashed carbon again and after reboot vibration again is gone....
Where actually is it "stored"? Is it in rom itself or kernel?
And does it matter what I had before flashing AOSP (stock 4.1.2 or leaked 4.2.2)?

Freezing Screen unlock

Hi guys,
I am currently on Checkrom v4 with darky kernel. Most of the time, when i open the phone from a sleep state or screen of state, the screen will not respond to unlock gesture. I have to turn the unit off for at least 2 times before the screen would eventually respond. Sometimes, when turn it of again, the will just turn black but with button lights open. Then after i turn it off again, the screen will eventually light up and respond.
I also have experience this with other samsung roms such as criskelo, batista which is why i always flash back to Cm7 wherein I don't experience this. BTW, i also dont seem to remember experiencing this on CM9... your thoughts would be appreciated... TIA
yeah buddie.i am facing the excact the same problem.............
dont know how to get rid of this........
Maybe it's kernel related?

Happens to me too with Siyah 2.6.11.
Maybe it's undervolting.

This used to happen to me when I had a screen off profile enabled on SetCPU. If you're using SetCPU, try disabling it to see if that solves the problem.
I think i've found out what's causing this... it's the touch screen tune app... after.I removed this, it seems to be not freezing upon wake up of the device... HTH

What govenor are you using?
I'm new to the SGS2. Coming from my old SGS1 running ICS I couldnt go back to gingerbread.
Leaked ICS on SGS2= No custom kernels BUT!...
With root access and NS tools app you can tweak stock "Ondemand" govenor. Its at 100000micro seconds which is 10th of a second stock sampling rate. This is SLOW. Couple with waking from sleep and known On-demand delay issues I think this might be the culprit... Cant wait for sources

Vibration doesn't work?

Hi all,
After I had installed the Bezke Aokp ROM my vibration worked inconsistent.
Sometimes it worked, but in many cases it just didn't.
This also goes for vibration keys.
Yet when I put my phone in landscape mode the vibration works perfectly.
I uninstalled the AOKP ROM of Bezke due to lot of instability and I installed the Resurrection ROM which is by far the best and most stale.
Unfortunately my vibration even for the keys is completely gone even I checked the vibration in settings.
Can somebody help me please?

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.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.

Turning on screen problem/lag

When I press the home button/power button on my Galaxy S3 it takes 2-3 seconds before the screen turns on so i enter my password or pattern. I don`t mean turning the device on, but rather from having a black screen in "sleeping mode" and press the button to open the phone. Can someone help me by making it faster?
I didnt have that problem with my HTC Desire or any other Android mobile i had before.
I did a factory reset but still the same.
I have same problem. I tried different ROMS, kernels. Problem stays. Even I revert completely to factory state.
Delay on phone waking up is a known issue. If you mean lag when your screen is on and you press the home button, go into s-voice settings and disable the top setting.
I ment the wakin up thing ... it worked fine the past 2 weeks i had the phone but i noticed this thing today ... is there any solution for this ?

What roms have you tried so far?? I'm currently on Paranoid Android v2.18.1 and I'm experiencing no lags at all. I've also tried some other roms such as Wanamlite and Checkrom. Both of them worked perfect for me.

I have the original ROM ... the thing is that i never tried to play with these things before... if its the only way to make the phone works as it should then how should i do it???
What about you otheres ... do you have the same problem?
any help?
try installing app called SoftLocker FREE from play store .. it worked for me
This has been evident in all Galaxy S models - you're going to have to get used to it.

This lag is evident and it is usual because pur phone will go into 'deep sleep' mode to save extra battery juice and you certainly want that don't you? Since you are on stock ROM then you got no choice but to 'bare' with the lag. Unless you go custom such as Resurrection Remix ROM with have absolutely no lag. Paranoid android doesn't have the lags too.
Try it out yourself mate.

the app i posted earlier - SoftLocker FREE disables 'deep sleep', so there's no need to go custom. it works also on stock roms. I use it and the difference in battery drain isn't noticable at all.
Oh ok, I didn't know that cause I'm on custom

I used to have lag problems before rooting but ever since I rooted and flashed Omega 27.2, no lags whatsoever. What's strange for me is how we all run into varying issues when we are sharing pretty much the same hardware.
Just my thoughts.

I've found that turning the ripple effect on the home screen off helps a lot, reduces most of the lag I was experiencing.

[Q] Sense 5 Touch Screen Issue

I'm running the Y7 Sense 5 ROM and I occasionally run into a problem where I can't pull down the notification bar. I think I have the old touch screen firmware installed atm. Eventually it goes away if i toggle the screen on/off a few times but it's super annoying.
Has anyone else seen this issue?
Is the issue ROM related, hardware, touch screen FW, something else?
Not that specific problem but I did get some sporadic lag in the app drawer.
Sent from my SM-T217S using xda app-developers app
It sounds more like youre experiencing lag than screen issue have you tried a complete wipe with super wipe and a clean install.
I've experienced the same touchscreen issue, where certain things just don't seem to work. My example would be the Tutorial screens after fresh install. I had to click the back button instead of being able to click the X or follow along on the tutorial.
This issue doesn't exist for me on a fresh 4.1.2, Sense 4 install.
