Vibration feedback on X1? - XPERIA X1 General

Anyone know if the X1 has vibration feedback (in particular, for the dial pad, when making a call)? Omnia has, but Touch Pro doesn't.

vibration feedback? What exactly are you talking about. Like does it vibrate when you are getting a call?

As in the phone vibrates on each number you press when you're making a call.

Doubt it. Why would you want it to do that?

It kinda helps to 'feel' that you've dialled a number since it ain't a physical keypad.

I know what you mean, I have it on my LG Viewty.
Its a kind of simulated tactile feedback for a touch screen as (obviously) touch screens have no physical buttons .

I m pretty certain that the Diamond has a hidden registery setting that enables "vibrating" feedback.
If thats the case then maybe its possible to enable for xperia.
Someone should do a search in the Diamond section.

Well, someone built an app for this. If there's a registry setting for this then people wouldn't have to use it already.

otherwise it would not be too much work to make an app which detected "keypresses" and vibrated when they happent but vibrations cost battery power

Haptic feedback possible?

I was thinking about why i've always felt it a bit strange pressing touchscreen buttons when i realized that it was because i'm used to tactile feedback, which is non-existent on touchscreens, of course.
Would it be possible to add a slight haptic vibration to each button press. It would make my ppc feel more solid and well built.
I guess the problem would be differentiating from pressing a button and using touchscreen based input methods.
Any ideas?
I already thought about that, too.
But I guess it's no problem to tell between real keypresses and touchscreen actions in a software like PocketCM keyboard. Maybe the author can implement a 0,05sec vibration on each button-down event?
agree. This seems to be no problem on first sight.
on http://www.opennetcf.com there even is a Vibrate class that has methods to start and Stop vibration.
so, should be easy to implement.
regards heiko
Not exactly what you are looking for, but I have seen vibrating dialpad hacks. Maybe it's a start:

okey dokey, now we just have to find someone with the know how to implement haptic feedback on ALL button presses, not just dialpad

Locking the HD when you do a call

Hello,
when I do a call on my HD and put the touchscreen out, the device isn´t looked. Badly sometimes I touch the some of the four buttons at the device especially when the HD is in the pocket. So the device is hanging the call up or do something like "hold the line".
Is it possible to protect the device so that this could never happen? Its very stupied when you do a call and suddenly the call is gone because you press by mistake the button.
I hope you could help me with my question.

Search for LOCK or DEVICE LOCK here...
I think this doesent match my search. I want to look the device in a call, the other works perfect with PocketShild. But my problem with the call is not solved in this program

Did you mean that you do a call over the headset and leave your HD in the pocket?
Yes I do... i make a call over my headset and out it in the pocket back
I just read this post (regarding the Touch Pro / Raphael). I don't know if it helps or if it applies to the HD as well. See the second entry there by aussieak. I don't quite understand what he is saying - but maybe it's because I'm a newbie at this.
Let us know if it helps. I'm sure more people would be interested in finding a solution to this.
EDIT: I just searched Google and found this other post in a Sprint forum. It is about the HTC Touch (not the HD), but apparently pressing the power button at the top in that case should indeed turn off the screen without powering off the phone. Others suggested using third-party software like S2U2, which apparently can be set to lock the screen when a call is answered. This YouTube Video shows the settings screen (at 39 seconds into it, you see the "Blank screen on talk" option). Some people wrote that it works great for them and others say that it is not 100% reliable. Others suggested this program - but unlike S2U2, it is not free. It costs about 13 dollars.

Call Pickup: Call pickup while phone is in my pocket. How to prevent?

hello xda community
i'm very new to the blackstone and this is my first post here. so please bear with me if i'm asking very basic questions here.
my problem:
i carry my blackstone in my pocket all the time. and many people told me throughout the last days that they called me and that i picked up the call by accident.
since i work at customer sites mostly my phone is muted. so people call me and somehow i pickup the calls while the phone is in my pocket.
i always turn of the screen and i have the automatic lock (password protection) enabled. still when the incoming call screen comes up it looks like it is possible that calls are being picked up.
i know there is the slide which has to be moved to the left in order to pickup calls.
i have tried myself by calling my from my home phone and touching the screen and the buttons at random. and indeed the calls are being picked up. i was not able to find out how this is happening ... but it does.
so is there any setting i can change or any additional piece of software i can install to make sure calls are only answered when i want?
possible a reg key i need to change?
any help is very much appreciated
cheers
This isn't just a problem with the Blackstone; every WM phone I have had does this. I have found that a good locking program handles this quie well. I personally like S2U2 by A_C, but there are many others available. You can look in the apps forum, or check the development & hacking forum from the main menu.
The other thing to check is that you have all your notifcations set properly. I set all of mine to vibrate only. Many of them turn on the screen by default. Unfortunately this won't fix the problem on its' own though.
mwelch16 ... thank you very much for the reply
i will give it a try and see how it works for me.
so that means first of all i will have to slide that iphone type of lock and then take the call by using the regular slider?
is there any other way (without) an additional piece of software to handle this? cause after all there is the build in slider ... but somehow it's not working as it is supposed to. any enhancement to that?
thanks again
Is there a way how to disable the CALL PICKUP button which is on the left? so the first of the four buttons?
I think it's because it getting pressed while my phone is in the pocket.
thanks a lot
I use Pocket Shield - it's not free (free to try though) but it's worked well for me

No, S2U2 will unlock itself for a phone call and then lock the phone again after the call. So no need to slide to unlock and then answer your phone. It has a bunch of different settings, and yes I believe it locks the hard buttons.
thanks folks for the replies
i found all the settings i was looking for in the S2U2 options. so i'm good right now.
thanks again
You're probably answering the call by pressing the "phone" button (the very left of the four buttons on the bottom). You can either use those buttons to answer/hang up, or the on screen slider.
I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer' and 'End' hardware keys and re-mapped them to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on. This way there is no chance of hanging up on a call by mistake since you need to use the slide to answer on screen.
Similar but opposite problem
I'm having a problem along the same lines. If I get a call when the phone is in my pocket and answer it on my bluetooth headset, when the call ends the phone then rings someone else, usually the same person who is at the top of my contacts list. Not only is this damned annoying for me, it's getting a bit tedious for the person getting the unwanted calls.
Is there any way to get the phone to immediately lock as soon as a call terminates to prevent this happening? I'm assuming that once the call ends and it returns to the default contact/dial pad screen, the merest brush against the screen will be enough to start a new call.
I'm beginning to think I should have stuck with my iPhone

I've the exact same problem, 3/4 of the incoming calls rejected when I get the phone out of my pocket due to End button accidentally pressed.
What did they thought when they implement the slide to answer ????
The purpose of the slide to answer is to avoid such accident, but why the hell did they keep the Answer / End buttons active ????? total non sense to me.
Will check if this AE Button + app can solve this annoying behaviour.
has anyone tried Lockmelite?
It may help - haven't used it myself though.
x 2 for PocketShield. It uses the light sensor in your phone to prevent the touchscreen from activating when the device is inside, say, a pouch, or in your pocket.
I'm using evaluation version 2.6.2.10, which as I understand it, has full functionality, except that every now and then, randomly (and IMO infrequently enough to not be annoying) before unlocking it displays a 10 second message saying that you're using an evaluation version. Note that this *never* happens during an incoming phone call. Good stuff.
Hi,
Try TouchLockPro :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215
Now it handle light unlock in any cases, that as solved all my issues (pocket, in cas BT,...) and fulfill all my requirements.

Pocket Shield doing perfect job for me
I use AE Buttons Plus to disable the "Answer" & "End" virtual buttons. Then I used iconsoft Phonext to handle all my calling functionalities. When a call comes in, Phonext display a lock screen which you have to slide before it presents you with all the options like answer, decline, silence etc.
This way, I never accidentally pickup a call or dial a number.

Frustrating problem with dialpad

I am not sure if anybody else has had this problem. But when you dial a number on jade the screen goes off after connection, but suppose you need to dial other numbers ( Customer service calls). You have to press the on/off button on top.
Otherwise sometimes your hear clicks other buttons accidentally. Is there anyway for the phone to lock the screen and dialpad after connection. Its really annoying that the keypad clicks by mistake or users have to carefully turn off the screen.
The iphone detects that the speaker is covered and automatically switches off the screen so there is no accidental dialing. Wish jade had something similar.
What do the others do??
Follow this discussion and you will have some idea
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460377&highlight=screen
Thanks so much!! So no great solutions...I dont think i have any sensors on my jade. HTC really needs to think about this, I make lots of customer service calls and pretty much have to use the on/off button on top all the time to be careful to not dial/press random buttons with my ear.
I wish somebody could create something...or htc would think out of the box and make this a serious concern.

I think so too. No sensor-function noticeable.
