How to enable haptic vibrate again ? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I was playing around with my wife's G6 tonight and I noticed every time I made a touch or anything in the phone there was no haptic vibrate going on. But before her phone always had a very nice haptic feedback on it.
I checked all settings like sound had vibrate to tap on I went to other settings with haptic feedback and they looked to all be checked and enabled.
So why isn't her phone vibrating ?

No one has an idea what's up ?
I went through all Settings options, turned off and back on Vibrate to tap. Still doesn't work.

It could be that the vibration motor is dead or damaged...

Haptic actuators don't use motors.

Make sure your battery saving is turn off, turning on battery saving will disable haptic feedback.

Vibration gone?

Hey all. long time lurker, first time poster.
I received my nexus one a few days ago, and it has been a blast. However, after charging it last night ( the first time I charged it via wall charger as opposed to USB) I awoke to find it incredibly hot. I let it cool down, but ever since, the vibration has not worked.
I briefly was able to get the vibration on by taking out the battery and leaving phone and battery by the cold window. It vibrated normally on startup, and briefly in the os before turning off. Since, I have had no luck.
Any suggestions? I could, of course, send it off to get repaired under warranty, but i'd rather see what I can do first. I am currently attempting to drain the battery completely and see what that might do. I'm shooting in the dark, I know, but I'd rather try to figure it out as much as I can.
Thanks!
try a factory reset (Settings>about phone), if that doesnt work its hardware problem so send it in.
Weird, i havent had any problems with mine getting hot. Vibration doesnt work on anything? Keyboard, calls, etc. and youre sure you went into settings and enabled it on those?
settings/sound and display.
Enable haptic feedback.
if the phone is in silent mode this option will be grayed out.
I hope it is as simple as that and that it is not damaged from charging.
I'm having vibration problems too, but I don't think it's due to charging, but to me it seems like the vibration is going out. I was using the haptic feedback for the vk, and now it doesn't work half the time, and when it does, it is not very noticeable.
but the bigger vibrations still work, so I'm clueless on it

I know in better keyboard you can change how long the vibration lasts for, Im using smart keyboard right now and I can definitely feel the press of the keys.

This problem happened on a swap I tried (my screen has dust under it) and I called HTC and said I was sending the swap back because of this and they said it was fine. Give HTC a call, I think its a hardware problem
Thats how mine was, it was charging and got really hot, now when i get text messages it doesnt vibarate but if i get a phone call it does.
a couple of times, when i charged overnight, the phone gets hot. i think if it has a "running" app, it does this.

It's completely normal for the phone to get "hot" when charging or running apps with heavy power utilization... basically anything demands a decent amount of power.
However, it shouldn't get so hot that it's uncomfortable to hold or that parts start failing... that would indicate a defect with the phone and would necessitate an exchange through HTC.

Yes, in fact all notification vibrations fail now (GTalk / GMail Vibration notifications fail). This happened to me just today. Sigh.
Update: Notice I said all notification vibrations. It's specifically notification vibrations. All other types of vibrations such as haptic feedback and phone calls work fine. Only vibrations that pertain to the notifications / notification bar do not happen anymore. I don't think this is a hardware issue. This happened just recently. Could it be due to the new (OTA) update? Something broken?
i can't get mine to vibrate when a text comes in, no matter what settings i use. it will vibrate when a call comes in. i text a lot, so that would be really handy to have it work (like it should) when i'm out and it's too busy/loud to hear the phone but, not sure if i want to send it back because of this...
That's crazy I've never had a phone that vibrates stronger.
I've updated my post above. It's not about the vibration of the phone but just on the notification vibrations. Somehow it just stopped all of a sudden.
Looks like this person might've had the same problem:

Shall try a hard reset and see how that goes then. Rather reluctant to try it but here goes..
Update: Nope. Still no vibration for notifications after doing Hard Reset (using "Clear Storage"). I have even tested this using the API Demos app from the Market. Under App -> Notification -> Status Bar -> Vibrate button there is no vibration to be felt.

use the search function, lol. if you are having problems with notification vibration, download the 'sound manager' app from the market. start it up. press menu > vibrate settings. set it up how you want. fixes the issue.
I searched, but I kept searching for the "vibration" keyword. That thread only shows when you search "vibrate" .. or "notification vibrate". My phone is with HTC now. I don't understand why a Hard Reset doesn't resolve the issue...
fixed

I can confim this trick works... DL sound manager from the market then activate " vibrate whenever possible" in vibration menu...
it fixed the problem i had : no vibrations only on notifications ..
never had such a fast phone, thanks to google,timothydonohue, cyanogen and all modders...!!!

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!

Vibration Not Working

I looked in all the settings and cannot get the phone to vibrate. I even tried diagnostic mode (*#7353#) and tested vibration.
Does this mean a busted vibration motor?

No. I think it should vibrate in diagnostic mode no matter what.

Navbar Gesture Haptic Feedback

Hey guys. So about a week ago, I received the latest update from att (ASGK) and it came with haptic feedback for navbar gestures. They also updated goodlocks task manager with gesture haptic feedback as well. However, it has not worked on my phone since the day I recieved the update. Now its not an issue that will bring about the end of the world, but if anyone has some ideas of a fix for this, I would greatly appreciate it.... Haptic feedback is a small... but comforting feature to have lol.
Maybe try going into settings, sounds and vibrations, system sounds and vibrations, make sure touch vibration at the bottom is toggled on. Then back out one screen to the vibration intensity and adjust the touch interaction to your liking.
