[Q] Screen touch sounds - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and almost every single day I have to go into the sounds setting to disable the "screen touch sounds". Has anyone ever had that issue before? I have the phone set up the way I like it, and don't change anything in the settings anymore, but somehow I'll be going to do something and I hear that silly noise when I select something. I know it's not a big deal, but it drives me crazy. Any advice?

Same for me. I ended up going in with root explorer and replacing the sound files with silent files to stop the sound from coming back.

Happens to me every time I put the phone on vibrate and back on sound. It is annoying.

i havent had that problem at all, ever since i got the phone and rooted with phantoms blaze rom its been working flawlessly, no issues here.

I've noticed it only happens when you change the camera to video or back to camera. So its the camera modes turning it back on. Try it out for yourself.

I have the same problem with the key sounds as well, and I also have the same problem with the hectic feedback. I have no idea what it is, but it's a small problem...

Droid not vibrating?

So basically my Incredible only vibrates when it wants to. The keys vibrate from time to time when pressed, i havent noticed calls though right now is just the keys and i use the default keyboard.
Anyone experiencing this?

Just to cover the bases.....
When you go to Menu> Settings> Sound Settings, you have all the Vibrate options selected properly?
Yeah i do

Mine does it sometimes to. It just gives the inc character lol. From what I can remember it's done it on every rom except sky raider and stock lol.

How old is your Inc? Mine is about 7 months old now and I am running into some issues every now and then where the vibration just feels dead. It also makes a weird clicking sound when it boots up. It may be a ROM that you are using or your vibe motor is just kicking the bucket.
I really dont know i bought it off ebay with a bad esn. But it was perect mint condition with the box manuals and evrything... Im running the Incredirom 2.2 and in fact the vibration does stop working because i often press the volume down button to put it into vibration mode and it does not vibrate when i put it in vibration mode. U know how is suppose to vibrate when u set it in vibration mode, it sometimes does not vibrate.

Ima try sky raider, but is it good?

It's stable and has some Cm features, it's pretty good.

If you're not opposed to upgrading, I recommend Pure Speed V7. It's a port from the evo shift also its 2.3.3. Your incredible's memory will decrease a little but it is solid and I have no issues with it on mine. But if your vibration still doesnt work, you have a busted motor.
Mine does this also. I have no idea why. I usually have haptic feedback off but when I do have it on it fades out every now and then.

I read a while back that your haptic feedback motor can basically be overloaded by heavy activity, and that giving your phone a firm shake when it's being unresponsive will correct the problem. it's always worked for me.
Didnt like Sky Raider, drastically slowed down my phone. Returned to stock 2.2. And yeah i think my motor is busted.
Lol and i tried shaking it and it works but i will look like an idiot shaking my phone every 5 minutes on the train or bus.

Just wanted to say, my Vibration has been REVIVED!! Ever since I flashed Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly #150 I believe.

Anyone else notice this about plugging in the headphones..?

So, I use my phone as an MP3 player in my car (audio male -> audio male into the head unit) and noticed that if I turn the volume up on the phone, the phone actually vibrates whenever it seems like there might be some bass.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I don't think it's a problem. Try going to settings> sound> "auto haptic".
If it's on, I think that may be what's causing it.

Do elaborate. What's odd? What's the source of the sound? Speaker? Or simply the vibration unit?
A buzzing sound. Coming from the vibrating unit itself.

Both my GNex and DInc do it. Sounds like something loose in the case buzzing.

I find the vibration unit of my gnex rather strong. I use a custom kernel that allows one to turn it down a notch. Could help with your buzzing sound perhaps.
Its quite annoying as I got caught in class with my phone because of it lol first day of senior year too xDxD

You have to get a custom kernel and turn the strength down. I use fancy kernel and trickster mod app

Cyanogenmod 10 softkey light settings.

I am using the Cyanogenmod 10 nightly builds and was wondering if there are supposed to be settings to adjust the time out of the softkey lights and if so where am I missing them or is there a possible work around?

You can turn them on or off. That's it.

No way to make them stay on whenever screen is on?

I could possibly create an app for this. If you change the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to read only, they stay on. But when you shut the screen off the lights shut off, but when you turn the screen back on, they stay off and never come on. So if i created an app to right a value of 1 to the brightness file then change the permission to read only after receiving the screen on broadcast, it should work.
Only issue is, i just reinstalled windows. NOTHING is set up yet other than basic drivers so it might take some time unless someone else has the ability to create it.
That sounds great. No real hurry its more of a quality of life improvement for me. If you or anyone wants to definitely let me know I and I'm sure many others, would greatly appreciate it

Motion. Tapping on top to scroll to top

Apparently the app has to know this not just the OS. People look at me funny when I appear to be petting my phone.

That explains it! I got so annoyed with it being selective I had to turn it off. Whats the point if its not universally applicable!
