Haptic Feedback on Soft Keys disables on every reboot - Galaxy s III SGH-I747M - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

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!

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?

Atrix Vibration Option for the bottom row of buttons

I want to turn the vibration off of the bottom row of buttons. I do not see a haptic or vibration toggle or option that will turn this off in the 2.2.1 system version. Just want some direction. It is not under Settings > Sound.

I'm sure that would also save a lot of batterylife ..
This has been asked/answered in this forum many times now. There is nothing from Motorola to provide this functionality. The only solution right now is to have your Atrix rooted and then download and install the the Dell StreakVibrations.apk
Once that software is installed you'll be able to disable ALL vibrations on your phone. This will turn off the haptic feedback on the bottom 4 buttons as well. Everytime you reboot your phone you'll still have to re-run the StreakVibrations software to disable vibrations again.
This software allows you to toggle all vibrations off/on.
NOTE: while vibrations are OFF, silent alerts that depend on vibrations will NOT work, like "Silent Mode", aka "Meeting Mode", etc.

Thanks old chap...
This post is old....But the latest 2 versions of the AT&T updates have the option to toggle haptic feedback under sounds right above SD card notifications.

Phone vibrating to often!!!

please tell me you know what option this is.
I make a call -> right before it starts ringing i get 3 vibrations.
I put the phone to my ear -> i take it away -> the screen comes on -> 3 vibrations...
Any ideas?
haptic feed back
Also in the phone app s setting see if you can disable that
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
i turned off heptic feedback in the default diale (i`m using dialer one)
i turned off heptic feedback in the cyanogen mod settings
i turned off heptic feedback in the sound settings
still vibrates when the screen goes on
Try going to accessibility settings and see if you have kickback enabled
it was the freaggin profiles...they have settings that say: always vibrate for some reason!

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.

How to enable haptic vibrate again ?

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.
