Help No vibrations!! Samung S3

M

Maraffino

Lurker
I purchased this phone in october 2012. When Im at work I prefer to have my phone on vibrate instead of having sound. Within the last couple of days I noticed it wasn't vibrating anymore for my notifications or ringtones. I was advised to do a system check by pressing *#0*# in the phone. Of course the vibration test fails. Has anyone else had any issues with this??? Bell told me to contact the manufacturer as Bell will charge me to fix it. I have yet to hear back from samsung.

Please help!
 
Think it's a new limitation of touchwiz, try nova launcher and see if running that as your launcher works instead
 
Ahh. I was just guessing tbh lol. Ive never used the TW launcher but didnt know the launcher had that amount of "power" over the phone :)

P.s. Haptic is different from vibrating notifications i think mate. Isnt Haptic just vibrating feedback when u tap keys etc?
 
its possible it was after a firmware. The only thing out of the ordinary was that I was on vacation for a week and the phone was turned off for 7 days. As soon as it was on it updated alot of shit. possibly could have happened in that process. Samsung just emailed me back telling to go through the carrier. Bell told me to contact them :(
Thanks for the suggestions ill give the launcher a try.

Just an update. I did do a back up and factory reset still nodda...that was on March 12th

About 25mins ago it just started working on its own. My vibration is back 100% as well as the haptic feed back. WEIRD! :S I haven't touched anything since doing the reset. I had given up. I have no idea how after a week it just fixed itself but Im happy!

Thanks again for your help!
