I first had vibration feedback when my fingerprint did not match for screen unlocking.
But now I have realized that my phone no longer vibrates upon not matching my fingerprint to the records it's got. It only says "no match" on the bottom of screen, without any vibration.
Since I've played around with my phone settings I'm guessing it might be something I have accidentally disabled. So I went back to settings and browsed through everywhere that looked like relevant to my issue but did not succeed to find anything (tried enabling some features and checking the "no match". And my phone is NOT on battery saver mode)
So if anyone has same issues or knows how to fix this please let me know cause I did not find anything on the web either.
Thanks a lot

Does your phone still vibrate for other features such as whatsapp, calls, sms etc? it may be a dumb question, but did you check the vibration feedback settings insde sounds and notifications?

Have you tried restarting your phone? try reflashing your firmware through Odin again, you don't have to do a wipe

What would firmware reflash do to the phone? Does it void the manufacturer warranty of the phone or stuff like that?

No it does not, just download Smart Switch for PC and click restore your phone. it should work. Remember to do a backup of your device through the application.
That I would do as a last option if I don't find any other solution. But thanks anyways for your suggestion

Flashing the firmware through odin doesn't do any harm to your phone. Your warranty will not be void. You even dont have to backup your data (but it's always saver to do so).

I flashed my daughters phone to the official upgrade. since then she has no vibration when she receives a text. I have searched and cannot find anything about this.
In settings it's checked to always vibrate, but never does. Not even for a phone call.
any ideas?
Have you checked the settings inside the SMS app and make sure the app is set to vibrate for notifications?
Yes it is. All settings are set to vibrate, but the phone isn't vibrating. Thinking I may need to reflash

Always try a reflash first, typically that will fix these odd issues that other's aren't reporting. Flashing isn't a cut and dried process, I've experienced quite a few bad flashes, it just happens sometimes.
I have a very strange problem on my Nexus 5.
Some times when i receive an incoming call, i hear the ringtone, the device vibrates but i dont see anything on my display. Just a black screen, Also pressing the power button, i see the lock screen, unlocking the phone will not show the call either. if i select the dialer application i get the screen in the dialer with 3 options:
1) use touch tone keypad
2)return to call in process
3)add call
By pressing "return to call in process" nothing happens.
The problem is gone after restarting the device.
I read somewhere that this may be a proximity sensor problem due to screen protectors. I removed mine, and it continued having the problem.
Is there anything i can do to fix it [reseting the phone will be the last resort].
Thanks
I encountered this problem too, and now a new problem is my phone dead, cant turn it on.
any advice?

Can you get into bootloader so you can flash the factory image? Did you press the power button for about 10-15 seconds to force boot first.
Mine boots up as supposed to. Today i didn't have the incident.
Is this not a common problem?

Are you running stock or a custom ROM and if so what rom. Also if you could pull a logcat it could be easier to diagnose.
P.S. have you tried clearing data for the dialer app.
i am suffering from this issu haswell.
After a week of no incidents today i had the same problem again.
I am running vanilla android 4.2.2 by Google. No root no custom rom...

If you are worried about losing your call logs, they can be backed up a ton of different ways. When I don't have root, I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore&hl=en
Very lightweight and easy to use.

I was talking to my brother today (he is a Nexus 4 owner) and he told me that after updating from 4.3 to 4.4 he had the same problem. He could only solve it by restarting his device. So i guess, this is a dialer bug. Clearing dialer data i dont think will help..

mate i also faced this issue.So i tried uninstalling Truecaller and it worked for me.No more black screen.
Thanks for the suggestion but no application like this is installed on my device.
Maybe i will go throughout my apps once again..
My brother's N4 running 4.3 never had a problem. As soon as it updated to 4.4 he is having the problem.. Rarely but the problem is still there.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
This problem is getting on my nerves!!
I hope 4.4.3 solves a lot of bugs of N5! Its a shame that an excellent device like this causes such problems.
Also another problem my friends are reporting, is that, they call me, it rings 3 times and then it hangs like if the device is powered off or i canceled the call. And i dont even hear it ring, or find an answered call.
Is there a chance all these problems to be linked on my provider?

I started thinking that maybe its caused by a 3rd-party application, but it seems that other Nexus 5 owners experiencing the same problem as well..
After some thinking i used factory reset on my device yesterday evening just to rule out the possibility below:
As soon as i have purchased the device Google Now wasn't available. So i read in a forum that in order to fix this you have to somehow trick the device that you are situated in a country where Google Now is available. So i downloaded an app (GPS fixing??) and positioned my device to UK, remove something and then install it again(Google services). That fixed the problem and Google Now was available.
Maybe something went wrong there and i was experiencing these problems..
So far so good. Then again to be sure if that was the problem i have to give it at least 2 weeks.
I will get back to you for the results.

my notification light is not blinking when i have missed calls, txts or emails? anyone else having this issue?
only time i see the light on is when charging but in the settings its set to be on
Not alone
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Yea same thing here what is up with that?
That's odd. Sure notification light settings are on? Believe mine worked out the box. Haven't gotten a missed call or voicemail yet but works for texts just fine. Actually blinks great too, can see the light from a distance and device laying flat. On my HTC One X+ notification light was literally only useful if standing over the device looking down.
Downloaded lightflow now notification led working once light flow off notification led stops working unless charging....
Edit: uninstalled light flow
Now led works every time.I recommend light flow if you want led for other apps for example Twitter, Y! Mail

Play Store Restore to blame?
I found this on AndroidForums, it appears the restore function is pulling in something that messes with the notifications. I am also not receiving any LED notification and I also noticed I do not receive Facebook notifications at all. I noticed a ton of Samsung program apps coming over as well which I thought was strange. I am coming from the Galaxy S3.

So, I tried using the Lightflow app...Can't seem to get it to work. Only had the phone for 2 days.....coming from s3.
Only way to avoid this is to decline the Play Store Restore? If so, how do I factory reset? I am used to using custom recovery (TWRP). How do I get into Stock recovery on this phone?

I can confirm my LED went from not working to working as it should when resetting the phone without backup apps enabled. I then attempted to removed as many apps as i could from google play and then reset with backup enabled and I'm back to a phone w/out an LED. A bunch of them that I unlinked from my account are back after a restart and downloading to my device, not sure why...

Well yeah, I get that. But if it's caused by the auto-restore of apps and such, then you could say that it's whomever's at fault for having it on by default when you get a new phone. Honestly, it's not a big deal, I check my phone enough plus the ringer is only off during class or while I'm sleeping, I can't complain too much really. If that's the only problem with my phone, then color me happy.
Hi. So recently with my oneplus one I have been having issues (location services not working, text messages not sending/relieving, and mobile data acting up a bit). I decided to perform a factory reset because I figured this would probably be the best way to just start over fresh and possibly resolve some of the issues. Most of the issues were fixed, however I was incredibly disappointed when I went into my settings. Half of the options that I could once modify before I reset the device were now gone! To name a few: the notification bar brightness slider, the vibrator intensity setting, the hardware button brightness, the customized screen colors, and the customized lock screen shortcuts..and that's just to name a few of the important ones. I'm wondering what's going on! Is there any way to get these settings back on my oneplus one? Has anyone else had this issue? Is it because of the cyanogen fallout? It's really frustrating. I didn't realize how much I took those amazing settings for granted. I would have just dealt with the issues if I'd known this would happen. Let me know if anyone has any idea..i would be so so appreciative.
Don't know if its the same thing but there is an advance mode in about phone in settings that allows more modifications to be made.

Are you sure that you signed in with the same email as before? Mine were all saved under the email that I used. Otherwise I'm not sure. Sorry! In the future I'd always recommend downloading Dropbox and turning on the automatic camera upload synching so if anything ever happens you'll still have them forever.

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
