Any one figure out how to turn off the vibrate while typing on keyboard, without turning off the haptic touch buttons at the bottom?
I wasvtrying to do it too, no option it seems. Hopefully somebody has better ideas though.
Can turn off Haptic feedback in Sound and display but that turns off all Haptic feedback on the phone but it will make it stop giving you feedback on the samsung keyboard
Yeah, don't see any settings for the 'vibrate on keypress' for the Samsung Keyboard. Only advice I could give would be to use the Swype Keyboard (you don't actually have to swipe. You can still type) and disable 'vibrate on keypress' in Swype's settings.
I have a question on how to make this phone better... I've never used the iPhone really, other than to jailbreak it for my fiancee. Now that I have the Vibrant, I noticed ridiculously difficult it is to place your cursor in a particular spot. You can't use a stylus, there's no "magnifying glass" like the iPhone has, and there are no arrow buttons on the on-screen keyboard (as there was on my HTC Touch Pro 2). Basically, it'll take me 5-6 taps (or more) to get the cursor where I want it.
Is there any app or hack that can fix this?
If you are using samsung keyboard, then keep pressing the "123" button until more controls shows up, theres cursor control.
You can flash or wait for froyo release it comes with a cursor
Thanks to both of you. The 123 option is a PITA, but it's something. Good to know that Froyo is gonna have a cursor. Thank goodness....

I couldn't the 123 option to work. When I press the 123 button, I get four pages of symbols... no directional cursor movements. What am I doing wrong?
If you are using the Swype keyboard, drag your finger from the Swype info button (bottom left corner) to the SYM key (next one to the right). Several cursor control options there, plus a few other handy items.
Also, if you didn't know, dragging from the Swype info button to the "F" key will switch the keyboard into a number keypad.

You need to hold 123, not just click it.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. It's exactly what I needed. Will hold me off until Froyo.
Alternativelly you can use the HTC_IME (which is the HTC keyboard) and set the volume buttons to work as up and down. Pretty handy when you want the cursor to skip a few characters. Though indeed the lack of cursor buttons always visible on the keyboard is kind of irritating especially if you come from an HTC.

I actually went through the process of installing the HTC keyboard, which I loved on my Touch Pro 2. It was laggy as hell and basically unusable. I also did not notice any directional arrows.
I've been meaning to try that keyboard again, since I did the one-touch lag fix. I'll do that right now.
**EDIT**
I can't find the option to use the volume buttons to move the cursor. It's also nowhere near as fast as the Samsung keyboard. Not sure why, but I have to seriously slow down my typing to get it to recognize each key press individually. I was hoping it would be better once I did the lag fix. I guess it's a separate issue...

Hmmm I do not have any lag issues with the keyboard.
Have you tried Calibrating it? That option is in Settings (within the program, activated by long pressing the language toggle key)>Text Input>Calibration tool.
Unfortunatelly, indeed, there are no directional arrows in the layout.
The option to set the volume buttons is in Settings (again, within the keyboard itself)>User Interface>Volume Keys.
EDIT: I don't really have any opinion about the default samsung keyboard as it does not support my language (go figure lol) so I have never used it.
I can't seem to disable it, it still vibrates whenever i press a letter on the keyboard. Everything else is disabled though.
Where is the option for haptic feedback for the keyboard?

Most keyboards have haptic feedback option in keyboard settings. At least stock and SwiftKey.
Go to language & input and untick vibrate on key press in settings next to the keyboard you are using.

The problem is i can't find it in there. There is no haptic feedback button in the Language & input section of Settings.

Oh never mind. I found it. Just not used to ICS
Hi.
I was wondering whether you get haptic feedback on touching the screen when on silent / vibrate mode.
Is it that only the softkeys and keyboard give haptic feedback when on silent / vibrate mode?
There is no vibration when I click on folders, apps, etc. Only softkeys and keyboard give haptic feedback.
Just want to confirm if its like that by default and nothing is wrong with my device, because I did a factory reset twice.
Thanks.

Yes its normal
it works when u use keys and keyboard and on certain UI
hi, an odd question but it's important to me, how is the vibration on touch for this device? specially the navbar keys, does this phone have haptic engine (key press feel)?
Hi, you can choose with none/low/medium/high for the genaral haptic feedback of the phone and also set one different for the navbar key and you set it with a slide bar so its very accurate.
