[Q] No Haptic Feedback options? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

TL;DR : Phone has no haptic feedback or any options for haptic feedback anywhere. I remember it used to have them, don't know what to do about it
I've had my S3 mini for little under a month, and I remember having haptic feedback while typing, unlocking and while pressing stuff, as well as a set of haptic feedback options.
It sort of slipped my mind being used to haptic feedback for a long time, but lately typing hasn't felt right at all on my phone, and it took a friend to notice that my phone has no haptic feedback in most cases. There is no option for it anywhere, either (no option in the default samsung keyboard, no option under Sound settings or Power Saving either). The phone vibrates just fine during calls and has all the vibration options, and there's haptic feedback for a long-press of the middle button that summons the recent app list, but that's pretty much it.
I also disabled power saving mode.
Early on, when I got the phone, I installed both Ultra Keyboard (used it on my old droid and loved it), which for some reason does NOT work at all (app has an unexpected error when I open up the settings, and if I enable it as default keyboard it simply doesn't appear on my phone when it should, as if I don't have a keyboard at all) and SwiftKey 3, which I didn't really like, so I just reverted to the default samsung deal. I have no idea if this is relevant.
Google searches have been very unhelpful.
Am I nuts and does the phone actually have no haptic feedback options? Or is something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

With your keyboard app installed use this program called SELECT INPUT METHOD PRO from Google Play. You can then select your keyboard input. There's a free version to try out first, if you like.

How will that help me? I've lost all haptic functionality on my phone, not just from the keyboard. That and I'm not using any other keyboard than the default one.
As far as I can tell this only provides a shortcut to the input selection option.
I don't see how this is even remotely relevant

Haptic must be there, if u install a battery saver app there's always the option to turn it on/off.

I've installed no battery saver app. I simply do not have options for haptic feedback anywhere anymore.

Just looked on Elixir app and it says Haptic Feedback enabled. Try battery booster put widget on screen and enable haptic in green.

i too used to have the s3 and since i moved on to the s3 mini, i have been missing haptic feedback specially on the menu and back soft keys.
i wish there was an option or an app to restore that function again.

I couldnt find it full stop, not sure if it was there to start with in the stock keyboard, I ended up grabbing "Keyboard from Android 2.3" off of play and using that as that does have Haptic feedback enabled, still not found an option for it for Hard Keys though....

install Elixir 2, open it, select the first icon 'information', scroll down, simply press on 'Audio' and the third option will be 'turn haptic feedback off'
It will disable vibration as you (and I) wanted...although when modifying the home screen/adding or removing widgets it will keep the vibration...
hope this helps

Yep can confirm it works.

So, is there any way to enable haptic feedback?
I already tried Elixir 2 but it does not work.
Using 4.1.1 by the way.

notice that to....after i root it the haptic feedback setting gone...if flash original stock firmware everything seems normal...not a big deal for me actually...

How did u enable haptic feedback in Elixir?. What did u do exactly.

It is not about haptic feedback on the keyboard but on the back/menu softkeys.

I think I had the same problem after I rooted. Phone wouldn't vibrate when text messages, etc were received, even though the vibrate checkbox was checked in notification and text message app settings. I downloaded the app "Sound Manager" from the market. When you open it, press the menu key and select "vibration settings". For some reason, under "notifications", mine had been set to "never". I fixed this setting and vibration has been fine for notifications ever since.
Thanks for that tip but my settings still had vibrate on. Must keep looking. I know vibrate works cause i downloaded app that uses vibrate function.

For disable the type sound, you must go on setting, sound and in the end of the page you found the opzion
(I know its late) but its actually: settings> language and input then press the settings icon by the keyboard you use (eg: samsung keyboard)> advanced THEN 'key tap sounds'...:good:

Vibration issue

Hi everybody, I don't know if it is real but I think to have a problem with vibration settings.
I think go remember that tapping an icon on the launcher (nova, tw or trebuchet) the phone should vibrate. But now it doesn't. Every other vibration work well (physical buttons, lockscreen ect, but on the launcher.
Am I the one who is wrong or it's a bug?

Is it somehow possible to enable touchscreen feedback for every touch like in CM?
Look in the developer settings in main settings

Disabling buttons haptic feedback?

Hi,
Is there a way to disable haptic feedback on successful face recognition and when double tapping the power button to launch the camera app?
I've tried every possible settings even in accessibility or dev options with no luck.
This is very annoying, hope there is a workaround, rooted or not.
Thanks
The haptics is like the best non-mentioned part of the phone! So much better than the Pixel 2 XL.
