Haptic feedback randomly stops working until reboot - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

Randomly my haptic feedback stops and won't come back until I reboot. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. It's annoying. Don't understand why. Also my apps well randomly not be available. I have to uninstall and reinstall. Super frustrating

Just experienced this for the first time today... Hopefully a software update can correct

Mine all of a sudden went super weak. I have it turned up all the way in the settings. Not sure what's going on.

I feel like Samsung phones are RPG based and they only have a certain amount of points to use so they take the IR Blaster and add the SD slot back, they add water resistance and locked the boot loader. Why can't they just give without taking?

This happens to me as well. Is this a software issue? I have an international version, though.

Animation bug?

Found something wierd with developer options on this build. Not sure if I should post this in q&a or here, but general gets more traffic so.
Anyways I always disable animations fully when I turn on dev options. I have noticed that they do not stay set. The middle option, switches back to one. Not after a reboot, just at some point during sleep or maybe when a certain app or routine gets run. Not sure. Might be a setting that I have on interfering with my settings. Anyone else notice this?
I will probably reset and go through the setup again bit by bit to see what's causing this. Very noticeable when normally nothing but quickness happens between apps, then the stock animations start showing up randomly. Thx

I have the Sprint variant and I never noticed this until you pointed it out but yep, happens on the N900P as well.

So it is a bug! Definitely going to reset and setup bit by bit and see what does this. I also have a pebble. Do u by any chance? Forgot to mention that in the op, but who knows.

I do not own a Pebble, no.
I noticed the same thing, it happens to me mostly when I use the camera...I'm tracking to see what other apps cause it...if any

I set them all to .5 and they stick. Still see animations, but they are very quick. Also turn everything to "fast" in Nova launcher.

I tried that too, that's how I figured out the camera was causing it to switch back to 1x....

Cool, Def seems to be the culprit. Happened immediately after I opened camera too. Haven't seen anything else that I might be yet, but it might just be the cam. Thx
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Has anyone found a workaround for this issue? anywhere? Verizons latest update fixed the call quality issue but the transition animation bug is still there...
No but the camera is the only thing that makes happen on mine too. On the update too. It's obviously a back burner issue. Hasent been too big of a deal for me, but I would love to see it solved.

Two issues that are honestly quite annoying

Firstly I love my Note 3 and if not for these issues it would be a 10/10.
My first issue is that occasionally the phone will freeze up for a few seconds regardless of the app I'm in and will tell me essentially that Samsung Watchon has forceclosed. Happens all the time and I have no idea why.
Secondly when in a call if I put it on speakerphone and leave the phone app to perform other tasks while on the phone the proximity sensor still acts as if it is not on speaker. The screen shuts off if i try to slide down the status bar or something which is quite irritating.
If you guys have any idea what could cause this or how to fix it it would be much appreciated. Gratzi :laugh:
I have that force close of watchon also

My watchon did that right at first, but after setting it up, it hasn't crashed since.

An update????? Nooooooooo! I hope not cause I have my phone just perfect. It is running smoothly and so far the call quality is decent enough for me. I use bluetooth most of the time or my gear.

I just deleted the update and the app itself dont plan on getting watch it worked for me now no problems

Well that blows haha. Cmon samsung I expected perfection at that price. Anyways is anyone else experiencing the proximity sensor doing that? It's only once I leave the phone app it starts interfering.

#1 i just setup WatchOn and it stopped because i was having this issue as well. no other apps are causing me issues
#2 i have same problem and its the same with my S4 and also my RAZR HD
as far as an update coming i have frozen SDM.apk and will definitely not be taking any updates until it looks safe for root and possible unlock. i saw a lot of people take the S4 update shortly after release and they were not happy campers
Not only is watchon a buggy POS, it runs in the BG all the time.
That was one of the first things I disabled.
WatchON is kind of useful, I think. I used to get the FC warnings a lot at the beginning, but after running the app and setting it up and adding my TV to the remote devices, I haven't had a problem since.
I had problems with watchON crashing when I opened news stand. But I've since turned it off.
As for the speaker phone I've never had that problem.

1.WatchOn pop up errors stopped after it was set up.
2. You can turn off the proximity sensor during calls if you want in the call settings menu.

My LED Flash bulb went out...

Disappointed in the quality. I'm 90% sure it's physically out, but let's see if there's any way to troubleshoot.
Basically, was working fine initially, but it is not something I often use camera/camera flash. I found a thread about the hidden "torchlight" setting so that holding up on the volume when the screen is off turns on the light of X amount of seconds. It was working fine, but then yesterday I saw that it wasn't working.
I didn't think much of it, maybe some app I downloaded caused a conflict. But I just tried it with the camera flash and other flashlight apps and I get no light at all.
Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to deal with VZW.
Had the same problem. Camera flash and flashlight app stopped working. Tried different apps no help. Rebooted the phone and all is working now. Mine is still stock, not rooted

That did it, thanks. Still wonder why this happened though
Idk but don't get me wrong I came from a Note2 to the Note 3 and I absolutely love this phone but there's quite a few little bugs I've noticed. We definitely need a software update! Idk if u guys experienced it yet but a few times now I had all my apps that were in folders I made just get completely thrown out of them. At first I thought it was just with 3rd party launchers but then it happened once with TW too. I am not rooted either.

I believe there has been a small software update to the Canadian and European note 3's. We should get that soon enough. Overall though a great phone

Still no idea how to replicate it. Seems to happen randomly. I usually have to turn off and on the screen to get it working again.

Strange issue, in thinking it could be the screen protector, or maybe you have all in one gestures enabled or a similar app that allows you to tap on statusbar for something. , or could just be defective. That's all I got. There was an awesome update today for T-Mobile
It fixes screen sensitivity and palm rejection as well as battery and performance upgrades. Its a great update but don't take it if you are gonna want root because they might find a vulnerability on the old software. Or maybe they find it on later software. No one really knows right now. Its up to u but I upgraded. Its worth it to me.

Some guys on Reddit said it could be cerebrus. Status lock messes with it

LG G6 Vibration stopped.

I seemed to have this issue with an old V10 but I thought maybe after 2 years the motor just got old. This phone is still new and I have lost all vibration function. Has this happened to anyone else yet or does anyone know if there is something I can do to confirm a defect/fix?
Have you used Smart Doctor app to diagnose and see if it picks up anything?

I'm looking for that app and only finding things for human health...do you know the company name?
Are your sure it's not an setting or something software related? If a factory reset does not resolve then you likely have an hardware problem. I had a hardware issue on my G5 like that. Motor didn't work for weeks, then one day I dropped it worked fine ever since.

Lucky you. I wish mine breaks I hate the vibrator in Android phones. They all feel so cheap. I want it gone when unlocking the phone too but I can't. It makes the phone feel cheaper than it looks with its poor vibrator feel (and sound).
Happened to me last night, LG G600S

Yes. Or at least I believe so as when battery saver engages the finger print sensor also stops providing vibration feedback.

launch lg g6 (LG-H871 rev 1.0) - opening weekend. Vibrate function completely died yesterday.
Using vibrate app to test - no results on manual press. shaking the phone yielded no results. Gonna get a replacement.
Glad to know Im not the only one getting this issue
Did you manage to find a solution? Mine just started doing the same. Vibration stopped, checked with vibration test apps, booted in safe mode, factory reset and nothing. I'd rather not send the phone for repair and warranty is out of the question.
Damn I'm not happy to see this thread. Mine seemed to have stopped today. Not sure why or how. I'm gonna have to do some digging and see what's going on
Mine just started the same thing. No vibration at all!
Same issue here. Vibration stopped working, no way to get it to work again.
Mine also has stopped. No feedback from the keyboard, fingerprint sensor or vibration from calls/texts.
I plan on reaching out to LG today to see what I can figure out.
Anybody have any luck on finding a fix yet?
Can you guys please also share your model number- European, US, single or dual sim, bootloader unlocked or not, rooted or not, any particular action after which vibration stopped working.
Thanks in advance.
I know that this is really going to help anyone, but someone on Reddit had the same problem, then it started working again.
