Phone vibrate v. Key vibrate

Is there a way I can get the phone to vibrate for a phone call but not have the buttons on bottom vibrate? I notice when I turn down the vibration intensity it also doesn't vibrate for phone calls.... That kind of sucks

I am wondering the same. Anybody know of a app or fix?

I just figured it out...leave the phone vibrate checked but uncheck the haptic feedback

Thanks for the quick fix tip

Any other way around this? I love that my soft keys vibrate (just ensures me that I actually touched it), but I need my vibrate mode to be put to the highest. I don't want my haptic feedback to be too strong, but I don't want my vibrate mode to be too low at the same time. Hmmmmm, any apps or something?

Weak haptic feedback

My G2's haptic feedback has been getting progressively weaker with time. It's now gotten to a point where I can't even feel it at times. I can always hear it "trying" and the motors sound like they're struggling (similar to the sound of a toy dying when its batteries are low).
Should I try to exchange the device or us there anything I can do on my own?
Thanks,

Hold down the volume down button until it goes to vibrate and keep holding it. Does the vibrator motor just have slow spin up or is it just weak overall?

There's no vibration at all when using the volume down button to switch it into vibrate mode. (There used to be.)
I normally turn off all vibration notifications as I don't like them. I just enabled some and tested it and I don't notice any difference in vibration strength from when it was new.
I only notice the strength difference in the haptic feedback. There doesn't seem to be a delay, it's just weak. It seems to fluctuate in strength, too -- anywhere from what I consider "normal" (like it was when it was new) to not being able to feel it at all.

I'd say just RMA the phone.

NEW BUG!

I found a new bug.
When you turn off the haptic feedback, the phone still vibrates (like while answering or rejecting a call). However, when you activate the haptic feedback and adjust the intensity of vibration to 0) then even if you uncheck the haptic feedback, the settings works!!!
This means that the vibration intensity which is the sub function of haptic feedback overrides the haptic feedback whether it is switched on or off, What a joke !!!
I came across this while trying to turn off the vibration while answering and rejecting a call. I saw that haptic feedback is turned off and still the phone was vibrating, so i activated the haptic feedback and so the vibration intensity also got activated, then i slide it to 0 and then i disabled the haptic feedback and lo! the phone stopped vibrating.

Maybe you should write which firmware version you are using since on XWKF3 its ok for me.

works fine on my rom...

Isn't that supposed to be deactivated from call settings ? I think it's got nothing to do with haptic feedback settings.

On KH3 (2.3.4), it's under settings > call > call alerts > outgoing call vibration.
Unless I misunderstood what you were trying to do.
Haptic feedback setting under settings > sound is mostly for the menu & back keys.

Sounds like user error and stop the !!!!!!! Please
What was wrong with your other thread.

Most of the time the problem exists between keyboard and chair..
Here it exists between touch screen and back of users head.

Seeing as its not a new bug, will you re-title the thread?

its an ID Ten T error

Computer user, not terminal

Topic should be "USER ERROR."

Dont know what shud be the title , but it has solved a big problem i was facing. After sending bulk sms's, i get bulk notifications from my service provider (airtel) in the form of flash messages indicating me my balance and each time the phone used to vibrate and it was very annoying. I had tried all the settings and nothing worked, but setting haptic feedback ON and then decreasing its intensity to zero has solved the problem. so i also feel that thr is some bug here may be in some ROMs.

Haptic Feedback on Soft Keys disables on every reboot - Galaxy s III SGH-I747M

I am running stock Samsung Galaxy SIII ROM and Kernel (UNROOTED) on Virgin Mobile Canada.
I go in the sound settings and enable haptic feedback to "vibrate when soft keys are pressed and on certain UI interactions."
Every time I reboot or Turn Off/Turn On the phone, no matter the sound profile I am uring (silent, vibrate, sound on), the check mark in the haptic feedback setting gets "unchecked" and therefore disables haptic feedback for soft keys. I turn my phone off every evening and therefore this is a bit of a nuisance.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I did a search on XDA and did not see any posts for this exact issue.

After more troubleshooting I have found the problem:
At every boot I would turn back on haptic feedback in settings. On one boot I finally noticed that power save mode was on (from the notification it made). I checked the power save settings and it was set to "Turn off haptic feedback". This is what was turning off on each boot.
Problem solved.

Thanks god you found the problem! It's driving me crazy too!

Double tap power for camera vibration.

The phone vibrates pretty strong when you double tap to
Power to launch the camera. I don't see any option in settings to adjust vibration
Intensity. Anyone? Just wish I could turn off the vibration.

me too

I'm actually rma'ing mine because the vibrate sounds like it's rattling against something or is loose. It's very audible.

Anyone got a root solution for this? The work around is to use battery saving mode then there'll be no vibration but there must be a better way?
