Softkey Vibrate

Does anyone know what determines whether the softkeys vibrate on touch? Turning volume down to silent doesn't change anything but I've noticed that sometimes there is no vibration and I can't figure out the reason.

There is an option to turn it off in the sound settings,vibrate on touch.

But there's been many times when I've not been near any settings for a while and I notice the soft keys not vibrating.

I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem.can you try a factory reset?or repair the phone via pc companion.

Firstly I'll monitor exactly what I'm doing when it next happens. I'm not rooted or unlocked yet so I guess it's nothing I've done (unless it's an app, if that's possible)

Right, so it's been almost a week. Unfortunately, I'm still having problems with no obvious explanation.
I soft-bricked my phone a few days ago so I've completely reset it. I was under the impression that it was only softkeys and haptic feedback that was being lost but today I'm sure a couple of time I've received messages without vibration (phone was in my lap and I can see the screen turn on but felt nothing).
My friend on his One X told me he often loses softkey feedback and haptics but that a message always brings it back. So until today I was putting it down to Jellybean (there seems to be a lot of S3 users with same issues too). Some S3 user reported that turning battery saving off has brought back feedback but I've not used stamina or anything like that, might there be something enabled by default I want to get rid of?
I kinda want to install CM10.1 to test on 4.2 but I'd need unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure how Amazon feel about that.
The motor seems to be ok... It sounds like a Bee or some paper trapped but from what I read that's normal because it's a thin phone. It's loud too.
When using the Service Tests area it seems to work without fail, but I need to test that after it turns off.

I'm still having this issue and I'm almost certain it must be a hardware fault.
Am I right in thinking that if I run a vibration test in the service menu then no system or app settings should prevent it vibrating?
Sometimes it fails to vibrate even in that test.

Almost the same problem, when I bought the phone vibration worked great on every app except keyboard, I tried a lot of keyboards but there is no vibration on keypress.

Vibrate Function Has Stopped - New HTC One (M7)

Hi there.
I noticed recently that vibrate on my HTC One has stopped.
I have tried all the vibrate settings albright it doesn't go. I have downloaded ViBe and tried some of the vibration settings. I can hear a very faint noise when my ear is on the top speaker when the settings are selected.
The phone has never been dropped and is less than two months old.
Could the issue be caused by the recent update to Android 4.2.3?
Or could a debugging help?
Thanks
Pedro

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you happen to turn on power saver? It will override and disable the vibrate functions.

Holy ... F**** thanks man ... So lame of me ... I had forgot this option ... Thanks

If the vibration feedback still does not work, try the following:
Go to HTC Guide, Support, Trouble Shooting, Sounds & Vibration.
From here, you can test the vibration motor. When i first tried this, mine did not vibrate, so I gently tapped the phone, whilst running the test until the device vibrated again.
So far, so good.

My issue is with HTC 828.. Its not vibrating.. Could you please help me??

Weird Problem

I kept noticing my touchwiz launcher redrawing it's self every time I went to home. So I downloaded nova which I noticed it told me that don't keep activities was on in developer options. It seems I can't disable it now. When I turn it off and go back its back on every time. Same for if I turn off developer options. It just turns back on. What a weird glitch. Can anyone help?

Found Developer mode by accident.

I was just playing around in the settings app trying to remember how to enable 5.1's easter egg. I opened the System tab, clicked About device, then tapped on the Build number section repeatedly and I saw a message briefly pop up saying Developer mode enabled.
Not sure if it's common knowledge or even what it does. Any insight would be helpful.
P.S. the Easter egg requires quickly repeatedly tapping Android version under Settings>System>About device

It's common knowlegde I must say

Yeah, it's been that way for years. you have to press it 5 or 7 times i believe. It will actually count down and tell you how many more times to press it. Anybody who has rooted a phone in the past couple years has probably needed dev options to get USB debugging.

Thanks for the info. The last Android device I rooted was in the 2.3 days I believe, so I'm a bit behind the times...
