Ok, so i have an issue that i havent been able to find any information on. I woke up this morning, and noticed that when i pressed the back or menu button, there was no longer any kind of haptic feedback. The buttons functioned as they were supposed to, but didnt vibrate. I double checked the option for it, then disabled and re-enabled it. That didnt work, so i restarted the phone and it still didnt function.
I ended up doing a full restore and they began working. So, i haven't installed any apps or anything assuming maybe it was an app that caused the issue. I went pretty much all day and it was fine, i got home from work and all of the sudden it stopped functioning again. I just did another restore and its back. This seems more like a software issue as if it was hardware i wouldnt think the keys would work at all, and the haptic feedback works when using the keyboard and such. Has anyone else seen this issue?
BTW my phone is rooted, but i havent done anything else to it.
What was your battery level? If you have Power Saver turned on, it will turn off haptic feedback.

I was just gonna say the same thing. Power saving mode on all Samsung Galaxy devices turns off Haptic feedback completely. And if your a person who is used to haptic feedback it can feel weird when it's off. Pull down your status bar and make sure it's power saving mode is off.
I appreciate the suggestions, but this was on a completely full battery, it had charged all night. The second time it happened it was at about 65%.

Awesome! This fixed my haptic problem and weird screen dim and contrast issue. I guess PSM some how had gotten stuck on for me, although I was charged above the threshold.
It doesn't automatically turn off when you're charged. Annoying as hell.
You should change your thread title to solved.

No, I shouldn't. My problem isn't solved. I clearly stated that my issue hasn't been caused due to a battery issue. I've been fully charged. I've restarted. The only way I've been able to get it back is by a full restore. The issue occurred one more time over the weekend and it's irritating. I went to the store and they aren't wanting to help and telling me if I exchange it when they aren't seeing a problem I'll get charged the restock fee. I'll be calling support tonight I guess.

Did you turn off power saving mode after it turned itself on when your battery died down and was then recharged?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mine was like you.
go to power saving menu and uncheck the heptic feedback check mark off.
BINGO!
years later, i've found a solution - haptic feedback intensity was turned all the way down, even with the checkbox marked, no haptic feedback is felt at that level.
how it got turned down to zero, i'll never know.
Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Vibration Intensity > Haptic Feedback Slider
...i almost warrantied my phone over this issue...
Hey so let me start off by saying that I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I had this problem. I was with a friend and ended up turning on my ultra power saving mode. After that my soft keys stopped lighting up and the haptic feedback stopped working as well. Something small, but extremely annoying. I couldn't find ANYTHING on the infinite labyrinth that is the Internet for some unknown reason and I was straining not to throw my phone out of the car.
However, I've just now been able to finally figure it out and so I'm hoping this post will help with that urge to snap you're smart phone. Anyways I remembered that before ultra power saving mode I had put it at the regular power saving mode. I tried turning UPSM on and off again, I restarted my phone countless times, anything else you can think of it tried. BUT what ended up finally working is turning power saving mode on, giving it a second, and then turning it off.
Hopefully that works for you too.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been trying to figure that out for so long. I wasn't sure because it happened on multiple roms. This time haptic feedback turns off with battery saver mode. I usually have power save on our phones don't lack performance on it. Wish I could enable haptic feedback with it on. This was the first result on Google. Thanks bro!

Your post makes no sense... Let me try to guess what you meant..
Your backlight turns off, but the LCD stays on? In this case you would see zero light emissions in the dark, but in reasonable lighting you could still see the screen contents.
Or is it that the LCD turns off, but the backlight stays on? In this case you would see nothing on the screen, but in the dark you would see the backlight glowing.
In either case, I would suspect an app.. You might look at the wake lock info (I use Spare Parts from the market for this) to see what's keeping it awake, ignore any Phone related items.
You might also just try powering off and back on if you haven't yet.
Hold the power until it unit is completely powered down. Power up. This happened to me once about 5 days ago. I have not seen the issue again.
I have spare parts, but i see no noplace that shows what apps can control the screen. Thank you for the help, so far im still tryingf the other solutions, and i will fix my signature.
You didn't make any edits to your build.prop file, did you? Because what you're describing is the exact same behavior I got when I changed the board entry in build.prop to mimic the Galaxy Tab (this was when I was trying to get the Tab's version of Swype working on the nook).
If you open system/build.prop, there should be an entry that says the following:
ro.product.board=zoom2
If it says anything other than zoom2 for that entry, then that's what's causing you're problem... In which case, you'd just change it back to zoom2 to fix.
I did is that what happened,i was trying to spoof milestone overclock to work, il try that. Thanks a million!

Did you reboot after changing it to zoom2 and saving? If you changed it to just like in the post above and rebooted, I'd be shocked if it didn't take it back to normal.
Well, yes but it didn't fully restart, it just restarted I don't know what to do, maybe I can find the original build.prop file and thatll fix it

Did you hold down power for 10 seconds to do a full power-off and then power on again?
Yes hard shut down, maybe something else is wrong...

No notifications, no difference whether i switched off thru button or thru widget (i use "Screen Off").
So if some one have an idea how to stop this, please help
Maybe you have a faulty unit?

I hardly belive it is fault of my unit.
I spoted it with original firmware and now ater unlock, root and revolution 2.2 (basicaly same firmware with modifications i like )
Actually i think Sony's devices get that issue. And that is because of the app is not compatible with the rom.
My solution: turn off the lock screen!

I don't think is the low battery mode, I don't have it turn on and it still have the problem, I think it is when the phone get some notifications or go to internet for data then the phone with get activated but it does not go back to total sleep mode.....
low battery mode for me. I've got it set at 15% and when it charged back to that amount the backlight turns on.
Just a glitch for me and a waiting firmware update.
Can't seem to get any vibration on keypress though I've turned the setting off and on several times. Anyone have any ideas?
Do you have Power Saving Mode turned on?
Yes. Is that it?

yep, you got it. Power save mode disables haptic feedback when entering normal text input, however passwords still have haptic feedback present.
I'm experiencing the same issue...
Already off my Power save mode but the haptic feedback still did not return.
It will return once in a while.. but I do not know what triggered it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Same problem here. No vibration at all. Turned on and off every setting I can find and nothing.

I think this is same issue which occur in TW ROM before and HTC fix the back key and Home key sensitivity in latest OTA. I think we can wait for the later OTA for SW fix:laugh:
So for some reason, randomly, I will lock my phone and not be able to unlock it or get the screen to come back on.
So I will lock my phone - come back - screen will be off - can't press any keys (home, power, volume) and get a response. Notifications and stuff still happens. I have to hold the power button in which the screen flashes (a line shoots across the screen, disappears and then Galaxy Note 3 shows up).
any recomendations?
That's not even close to right. I would be taking it back to where I bought it.

This must be a software issue. I've had this happen to me as well. Only once in the last two weeks. Seemed to happen when locking and unlocking repetitively.

Yeah, sometimes it wont happen for a long time. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly.
I dont know if related, by Knox keeps saying something about software trying to access information every time I reboot. I have no idea WHAT app its talking about because it doesnt freakin tell me.
Happened once and can assure you its a software issue. If it continues to be a problem I would recommend a factory reset.

looks like i got a lemon, screen will not turn back on however device continues to function. The touchscreen even works but you can't tell what you are clicking on.
Only way to get back to functional is to pull the battery, only happened once last week but in the last two days i've had to pull it 6 times or so.
Just posting this up in case someone else starts having the same problem. I've got a replacement being shipped out this week.

I might have had this happen last night. Black screen, buttons lights would only flicker once quickly when pressing the power button. Pressing and holding the power button did not cause a reboot. I did not try any screen action as I could not see anything. Had to pop the battery to get the device back to working.
--pat
I got my replacement, and it still does seem to have this bug to some extent, however, this phone seems to be able to get out of the screen black if something else triggers it.
For instance, I got a phone call, and that brought it out of the black-out. Another time i just kept pushing buttons and it finally woke up.
Hopefully it's just a software bug??
