[Q] Vibrate, haptic feedback, notification light, lock sound all randomly turn off? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

As the title says randomly the notification light, locking sound when you hit the power button, vibrate, haptic feedback etc all turn off. They come back on their own after minutes to hours. Restarting / rebooting phone doesn't fix it. What can be causing it?

Do you have quiet hours set (Sound -> Quiet Hours)?

[Q] Notification problem

So I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything for this issue. Even though all the settings are correct and i have vibrate checked in the messages app, my phone won't vibrate for notifications like text messages all the time. Sometimes it will vibrate and sometimes it won't. So my phone will be in my pocket and I'll check it 30 minutes later and see 3 or 4 texts but it never vibrated. I exchanged my phone and am having the same issues. Everything is stock. Has anyone had this problem?
the phone vibrates, it just does it too softly for you to feel it... that's the problem with light phones, the original epic 4g could cause an earthquake but that's because it was gigantic, I never felt the epic 4g touch, and this one I feel it at times...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
no it definitely doesn't vibrate. I've set it on the table and texted it and it'll vibrate on every 10th text or so. usually it'll just light up for the notification but it won't vibrate.

menu/settings/sound...........make sure sound and vibration are checked. that is the default for the entire phone even if vibration is enabled in messaging. also make sure your vibration intensity is all the way up.

Yes that's already been checked and vibration intensity is all the way up. The phone does vibrate on some texts, but not most, which is what the problem is.
I've noticed it'll vibrate normally when the screen is on and I get a text, but it won't when the screen is off?
I've definitely seen bugs in phones in which things like notification LEDs didn't work when the phone was in sleep mode. Whaddya know, I recall one of them being a Samsung (Intrepid). Granted it was years ago and Windows Mobile 6.5, but whoever was coding notification and power management back then wasn't fully aware of the point of "notifications".
Then again I just sent myself a test to the Note 2 while the screen was off... phone vibrated, screen turned on briefly (I hate that), blue light started blinking, heard my notification sound, and screen turned back off.
So there's something interfering with your phone's ability to wake up while it is trying to notify you. Have you done any power management modifications or installed anything designed to save battery power?

I haven't changed any power management settings or downloaded any apps designed to save power. I've tried factory resets several times. The phone will vibrate for texts but after about 30 minutes or so goes back to not vibrating. I've called samsung and taken it to the sprint store and no one can figure it out. I first thought the motions was causing te problems but it still doesn't vibrate when those are off. I'm completely out of ideas.
EDIT: I may have figured it out, if I turn on "Wake up in lock screen" in the settings in S Voice, the phone stops vibrating on texts. When I turn it off, the phone vibrates again. Toggled it on and off and the changes were immediate. Does anyone else have this problem??

Quiet Mode not working

Quiet mode suddenly stopped working. The Icon lights up, I can turn it off and on but it doesnt mute the volume.
I tried disabling xposed and it has the same problem . Cleared settings cache and still the same problem.
Anyone encountered this before?
Would be appreciated thanks
Sometimes it works but it takes awhile before it activates. It will just give you warnings of Quiet mode repeatedly until it activates about 2 minutes later. Its really weird
Happening to me too, tried disabling xposed to no avail also. Moreover, the button for Quiet Mode is very erroneous, even when lighted up blue, in the Quiet mode settings itself it's stared as Quiet Mode is off.

How to turn off vibration permanently

or at least on notifications, I don't like it when my phone vibrates everytime a notification pops up, even if I turn off the vibration setting in app, it still vibrate, the only solution I have is to block app notification itself, but I don't like that. So how can I turn it off, if it is even possible
