Hi everyone,
I've looked for a solution all over the net, but seems like no one had this problem before (guess i'm a special girl...):
The vibrate feedback when touching the screen just stopped working, in spite of the settings under "settings -> sounds -> vibrate on touch".
It started after an update to AOKP rom - milestone 5 (based on ICS 4.0.4) + Franco kernel nightly r151, but effects all the other roms. Maybe one untouched system file damaged.
I've tried everything: restore from previous nandroid backup, another rom (CM9), another kernel, another launcher, I even wiped everything and flashed new and clean rom-stock from google developers' page. And yet - no vibrate feedback.
The wired thing is that the haptic feedback is working in few specific applications, like the build-in ICS keyboard and the dialer Dialer-One, so it probably not some hardware failure.
All this time there are five softkeys that still have haptic feedback: the buttons of the nav-bar, the button that opens the applications drawer and the google-search widget.
I've tried using "KickBack" instead, but it's too aggressive and very uncomfortable.
PLEASE, PLEASE - Help me!
Same thing happened to me. I had the exact same setup and the haptic feedback went away after I flashed the kernel. Since I've had lots of issues when trying custom kernels, I just restored a nandroid and went back to the kernel included with aokp.

Restore fixed my issue, so I'm not sure exactly what to tell you.

I've seen some ppl's msgs that even simple reboot fixed their vibrate problem.
Didn't work for me, unfortunately
Some kernels have haptic adjustment, see pic for kernel does.
I'm running Franco 152 and mines fine.
I know trinity kernels lower it

I'm also using Franco kernel, but I don't think this is the problem because i've tried some other kernels and none of them fixed my haptic.
Hi TaliKa
I've just had this problem myself but it happens long after I flashed aokp m5 + franco r152 (too) so I'm not exactly sure what caused it. However after I went to clear my cache and dalvik cache, everything seems fine again.

Thanks guys, but as I wrote in the first msg, those actions didn't help.
Is there any pro here who can offer a profound solution that I didn't tried before?
Which system file responsible for the haptic feedback?
Guess I'll have to stuck without haptic feedback...

just wanted to say...exactly the same thing happened to me (started with aokp milestone 5 and vibration gone afterwards...)
im trying several things to get it back...i use it alot (at work and most of the time..its on vibrate)
hopefully we'll find a solution
Yeah this just happened to me too. It was working fine for awhile on AOKP and then all of a sudden it stopped. No idea what happened exactly. I tried whiping everything and restoring CM9 but that didn't work either. I thought maybe hardware but the phone vibrated on boot so it isn't that. Hopefully we find a fix...

im starting to believe its a hardware issue (well at least for me) i mean i dont even get a vibration upon booting or turning off the phone...and i even went back to full stock...same thing
maybe it might have been some software issue that led to the overburning of the motor(doubt that though)
what is weird though is that the same scenario happened to us so im lost...
maybe i should start talking to samsung for my replacement
meanwhile...im very open to suggestions that might help my case
hope we find something soon...u guys, does it vibrate at all?when u turn on ur phone?turn off? unlock ?

Yes, it vibrates at boot and also when using application with it's own vibrate settings, like "dialer one" for example.
Did you try using KickBack just to check the hardware?
if it's some hardware issue, maybe you can apply to your warranty supplier about that, just flash stock rom and relock your device before.

Good to know. I went ahead and flashed the base image and it restored vibration, then I rooted and flashed AOKP again. It worked for about that day and then this morning when I woke up the vibration is gone again. I'm almost positive it's AOKP's software. I'll test another ROM (Android Revolution) for a day and see if it happens again.

Hello and welcome the the XDA Forum!
I've found at time that the app "Whatsapp" when I get a message, My phone will constantly vibrate until the screen goes off for 5-10 seconds then it's fine until I turn the screen / unlock the phone, I think it's a common problem as I remember someone else had this issue.

Tried Rebel Rom, Bagux, Bionic Cow 2 v 7, stock DXLM3, stock XXLM8 , all still has the same random vibration.
And the vibration won't stop until you reboot.
Probably hardware related?
This happens to me since the first day I got this phone...
Honestly, it's annoying me !
Cause the only way to Stop it, is a reboot..
Sometimes it starts to vibrate in school, and as Im using a TPU SoftCase it's even more uncomfortable...
I thaught I was the only one, but seems like it affects all Wonders..
No matter which Rom I use, everytime the same Problem
A random time.

Dear friends,
I have problem with my Nexus. Sometimes it vibrates by itself, without any reason. I don't mind it but it is little bit annoying. What can it be? I am on JB + franco's kernel.
Thanks.

Check all software that issues notifications and make sure none is set to vibrate. Like Yahoo, Facebook, etc.
Also happening to me. I rebooted and it's ok for another few days then vibrate itself again... I don't care now XD
Checked all options and I am thinking that settings are good. I don't use any of social apps except Instagram and twicca. This is very strange and happens randomly.
Do you ever get asked to choose an app to open 'something' with? like email apps etc?
Also do you have a folder in your gallery with a load of screen shots?
This is usually cause by the automated bug report system.
you may have to wipe data and re-flash rom/kernel.
Yes, happens all the time. So this is rom fault? Should I just use rooted stock?

This was happening all the time to me, on stock ICS and when I went to JB.. I am running my own build of CM10 and the issue has subsided.
Personally I Think a bad flash is to blame.
just try reflashing.. like i say i had this problem consistently and flashed many different roms with no resolution.. but now its fine very odd..
Like i say do a wipe and full flash/reinstall.
I found solution to my problem. You have to disable bug mailer. Just rename /system/bin/bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak and you are good to go.
I just got my S II a few days ago and I flashed CM9. I've noticed the soft key back light is messed up and won't turn on after I get a notification, I read a post where someone suggested an app but that didn't work for me. Does anyone else have a suggestion? Is there a similar problem with other AOSP roms? Thanks

I am running Cm9 stable and I haven't had any issues, make sure its enabled in settings/display and play around a bit with the settings. Otherwise I would recommend a reflash. That is all I can really think of.

Its actually pretty much a common issue. With both CM10 and CM9, i had only heard of it being perfect on AOKP ICS. I too had this, i ended up disabling BLN due to a wake lock drastically draining the battery. I miss the old static BLN cause that didnt use a wake lock. It just woke it once to allow them to come on then went back to deep sleep.

hello i recently flashed this version of cyanogen-mod on my Samsung s2 and am having an issue. First of all, i used a non-touch CWM but it was confirmed to work as long as you use super swipe, so i did that and it worked no problem. However the back-lighting on my buttons will not come on. It is not broken because it sometimes works but mostly does not. i am wondering if there is a fix or a setting i need to use to get it to work.
Thank you

i am having this problem on every version or CM9 past RC2 and CM10 i really would like a fix
i looked into this a little and it seems that it's a problem from the moment you turn off the screen until the first hard light timeout afte the screen is turned back on
Apparently the bug is also in Miui and AOKP
OK, I have Odin'ed twice, and wiped the poor little phone so many times I'm gonna need to use Desitin. It does not matter, I have pretty much tried every 4.2.2 ROM out there, and although I have had one or two that I could initially get bluetooth to turn on, even those would fail to do so after a few hours. I've tried rebooting with it on, rebooting with it off, does not matter. The last few AOKP and CM nightlies as well as Jedi, it will not even turn on. I have seen a few folks state somewhat similar issues, but I am getting that it is not pervasive for the community. Does anybody have any ideas as to a fix, or, even any ideas as to what causes it, so maybe I can play around with whatever and try myself? Or, best case-scenario, did anybody have the issue on ROM ABC and discover that by switching to ROM XYZ it was fixed? I'm not updating my sig because it changes multiple times a day anyway, but I am back to CWM 6.0.2.7 from TWRP if that variable matters at all. Same situation whether on stock, Cerux or ASD kernel.TIA...

I works on the 2/26/13 Nightly of CM10.1. You wanna try and clean flash it? If it doesn't work then it's just a problem with your phone hardware instead of the software. Might be a buddy bluetooth adapter or such.

Fingers crossed, so far so good. I reinstalled Rootbox which is awesome. I changed from CWM back to TWRP and also installed Cerux 1.42 which in the thread made mention of the bluetooth issue being fixed, and being kernel, not ROM related. I am using crossbreeder which makes things crazy fast. I saw the "nos script" in some thread but couldn't find it with a Google search. Do you have a link for it and what exactly does it do?
Edit: Crap. it went away. Oh well, back to 4.1. Hellybean it is. I just don't get it. BT works fine on any 4.1 or ICS ROM. Only thing with 4.1 is music skips in my music player but I can live with that, I can't live with no BT. Thanks for your help. Maybe when source drops it will be all good.
Does ithe bt button turn on then instantly off when you press it? This happened to me and i went into recovery and wipe dalv n cache.. Worked perfectly after

Well, what seems to happen is it is fine for 15-30 minutes after I've freshly installed the ROM, then it just turns off. When I then try to turn it back on it hangs at "turning on" and then goes back to off. At that point when I click "turn on", it doesn't even move. I'm a gonna try the fix, nothing to lose at this point...
Nuts. It fast moves to on and immediately goes back to off. White flag, thanks to all.
Apply the fix and delete all you devices then try turning it on and off with nothing on it...if it works then add devices one by one...if you have devices married to it the patch might not work also I think my computer dongle was the culprit

I found one thing that at least gets it working again without rebooting is to activate airplane mode. Its faster than rebooting. Wish I had a better answer...
