Soft Key Hardware Button's Haptic Feedback Not Working - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Has anyone else experienced an issue where your Haptic Feedback has stopped working for the "back" and "menu" buttons? I recently updated to 4.3, I'm not sure if that's what did it, or if something is wrong with my hardware.
Any suggestions?

Haptic feedback eats battery. I turn it off on any phone/ROM I use. Did you check the settings for it?

Yeah, I've toggled it off and on to see if that would do it. I've also tried doing a hard reboot, too.

Disable clicking

Anyone know how to disable the click on the keyboard? Seems simple but have yet to find the option outside if turning the sound of completely.

When the keyboard is open there is a settings button next to the space bar. Hit that go to advanced and turn off the sound.

You have to go into the SwiftKey app then typing audio and feedback to turn it on

You need to make sure your not in power save mode either as it disables it

Did you try the toggle in Custom Settings?

[Q] Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times?

Question: Can you force the home/back keys to stay on screen at all times? Like say if you go into the camera the buttons disappear. Is there a way to force them to be on all the time?
Yeah mine are on all the time.

They don't disappear on mine. However on mine the icons turn into dots sometimes, like in the camera. Not sure why.

Buttons stay or go away based upon the app you are using. Camera...they stay on. Netflix or any other video, they go bye bye. Varies by app I believe

Can we dim the menu and back keys?

Hey guys I recently bought the Lux Auto Brightness app which dims your display according to your environment. I would like to dim my hardware keys because when I'm in a pitch black room the keys are still bright......Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks

Up to my knowledge you can only shorten the duration of the back lit keys or turn them off completely. Settings>Display>Touch key light duration. I have my keys to not lit up at all and i like it.
i dont see that option in display
