Haptic Feedback Patch? - WebOS Software Development

Could some wonderful dev create such a thing?
I am very much used to using android and the feature I love is the force feedback when i type and without it I make a lot of mistakes, normally I turn off auto correct of my devices too.
I am well aware of the clicky sound, I absolutely hate it and always turn if off, no need to annoy everyone around me with it aswell!

I don't think the Touchpad has a motor in it so that it can vibrate.

It does...it is turned on in Sounds&Ringtones.
If you want verification it works go to Info -> Diagnostics -> Vibration and you can test it.
I have not looked at how it is hooked yet, so I have no idea how difficult haptic feedback would be. I am with you though Bouncer5, I do miss it.

Glad I'm not alone, I keep being told to use that pain in the ass clicking noise

I dont know if it works on the Touchpad, but the Advanced System Prefs patch In Preware adds a haptic feedback option on my Pre 2

I cannot turn off haptic feedback!

Hello,
I recently received my Nexus and there is one issue that is rather annoying for me.
I cannot turn off the haptic feedback by unchecking it in settings. All that checkbox does is stop it on the four buttons on the bottom of the phone, I still have haptic feedback on the dialer and the lock screen.
I tried to download the spare parts app, and I've even tried a factory reset.
I find this feature really annoying and I am out of ideas on what to do..
Any help?

It's not on. I still get vibration on dialer and lockscreen.
Sorry for bumping this but am I the only one with this problem?
Could it be an hardware issue so I should send it back before I install cynogen and void my warranty.
You can't turn off vibration on dialer. There isn't an option to do that . Google plz work on this.

Nope that just removed the sound and not the vibration.
I got the same issue. It seems that it is unfixable, unless they release un update with this issue fixed
To disable haptic feedback in the dialer: open up the dialer, press menu button, uncheck 'Enable haptic feedback'.
But I don't know how to disable it on the lockscreen tho :/
There is no menu on the dialler, hitting the menu button doesn't do anything.
Maybe He has a custom ROM.
Ah yes, good point.
I have CM5.0.4.1, I can see that it's credited to "ChainsDD, geesun, niuchl, rac2030 and the rest of XDA! " so, yeah it's probably cuz of the custom ROM.
I didn't realize that
Yeah, its actually Wysies Contacts app that has the option. But unless you root, you can't use it
The thing you are talking about might not be haptic feedback at all
Hi, I had the same problem after I forgot where the menu setting was. (Actually I did a factory reset yesterday.)
To turn off haptic feedback,
Go to Settings > Sounds and Display > Haptic Feedback. Uncheck it.
To turn off vibrate on kepress while typing SMS and others,
Go to Settings > Language and Keyboard > touch Input > Text Input > Vibrate When Typing and uncheck it.
Did not understand why they are at two different places as it confuses me and many. Though, thats the way it is. . Enjoy.
What the hell is the point of haptic feedback? One of the worst invention on this phone. Should simply be a "Turn off all Haptic Feeback"
or better yet.. adb shell rm hapticfeedback.apk
I am having a similar yet opposite problem: I cannot turn on haptic feedback.
This is a N1 I just got from HTC as a warranty replacement. (My first one had a dead spot on the touch screen.) It certainly has a working vibrator - When I turn in the phone and see the logo, also when I turn the phone off, it gives me the haptic buzz. I've had the same result in both stock builds and CM6.
I'm wondering if there is a disconnect in some phones where checking the box just does nothing to change the actual setting.
Any ideas?
I had to turn off Kickback in Accessibility settings.
Do you by any chance just mean the haptic feedback when using the keyboard? Cause there's a separate setting for that, under Language & Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Vibrate when typing.
I would like to turn off the haptic feedback in the lockscreen, but I want to keep the haptic for softkeys. Is it possible without installing a lockscreen replacement?

Keypress sounds and haptic feedback

How do I turn on the keypress sounds when using the virtual keyboard? Also how do I disable all haptic feedback even at the lock screen or when pressing the home/settings/back/search soft keys
Thanks
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
Regarding your first question about sounds for virtual keyboards, I have no answer. I don't know whether this is possible.
But there is no option to turn off haptic feedback even for the search/home/back/manu key. I heard that it could get turned off after a fix from Motorola on the original droid. But there was none yet for the droid 2. Maybe you could send Motorola a mail and suggest such tweak. I will because I think they don't act if there seems to be no demand.
Edit: Erm....please search before you post next time. The internet is full of questionairs asking how to turn off haptic feedback on D/MS2...
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
I have been searching for haptic feedback togle for a while without a clear answer. Most post say that in the settings menu under sounds i should be able to disable it using the 'haptic feedback option'. It is even described as follows: Vibrate when pressing soft keys and on certain ui interactions. But no matter if its checked or unchecked i still get the same vibration for everything.
As far as keyboard sounds, what i ended up doing was installing the gingerbread keyboard and the sound started working.Not ideal for the average user, but since i root all my droids and play with roms it was something i didnt mind doing.

How do you turn off the haptic feedback???

How do you turn off the haptic feedback on this phone? The soft key vibration is annoying...
Can't find a setting for it anywhere either
Bump.......
Not possible at this time

Settings/Location and Security Settings/Use Tactile Feedback and deselect. Kills vibration from screen touches though Android buttons still vibrate.

In order for the option to even appear you have to use some sort of security option on your lock screen, but even after you deselect it you still get haptic feedback when typing in text and whatnot. So I don't think that is what people are looking for.
Major FAIL! what the heck Motorola!
Everyone in need the answer is here: to turn off haptic feedback globally you must have rooted your ATRIX, then go get this ( copy pasta time ) Streak Vibrations install it! Worked like a charm for me! so happy!

Yeah, that's correct. I disabled haptic feedback while typing and had also found the setting above but it is indeed just related to when you are typing in a PIN or security code. I guess rooting it is.
Unless I'm missing something, you can turn off the haptic feedback for the multi-touch keyboard in settings/language & keyboard settings/multi-touch keyboard/Vibrate on Keypress.
It still gives the vibrate when you use the android buttons, though.
This is on an unrooted Atrix. I tested it in the Text Message app and in the google search bar on the main page.

Great job, now the feedback is nearly exactly how I would prefer it. How did I miss that?!
Is it possible to get a bit clarification on this, how do we disable with a rooted phone?? Do we need this app we speak of? thanks for any help.

Once rooted and you have applied the allow non-market applications access, you will have to download the Streak Vibrations .apk from the web. A quick google search lead me to this thread and the d/l link is located in the last post. Download, Install, Disable Vibrations, and voilla. Hopefully I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this link. One note, however, is that it kills all vibrations. So if you want vibration on silent mode, for instance when receiving calls, it will not work... but you can always enable the vibration when need be. I'll take that over the annoying haptic feedback anyday. Hope this helps.

or you could just turn the haptic feedback off as described a few replies above (Without rooting), which disables it everywhere except the 4 android buttons? although, i guess if the feedback there is irritating, then it wouldn't work.
streak vibrations app?
just to make this clear, it GLOBALLY disables vibration, correct? so even when in vibrate mode, will not vibrate?
id like to disable the native button feedback but dont want to sacrifice missing a call when its in vibrate mode. so can anyone confirm that it disables any/all vibrations?

Do Not Disturb and Toast notifications

I have been looking everywhere trying to find a solution to this. I hope someone can help. I use Do Not Disturb mode when sleeping, as many do. However, while all the "noises" are stopped, I still get pop-up messages for email, texts, phone calls, etc. I have my phone set for priority mode, with only a few select numbers able to ring through. That works, but the pop-ups mentioned still come through. In a dark room, those pop-ups are VERY bright, even on a very small portion of the screen. I know I can turn them off within the apps, but I do use them when not sleeping. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck?
Thank you anyone!
So here, you want to disable the toast/heads-up notifications, while your device is in DND mode?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I know I can do it manually, by turning them off, and then having to turn them back on again after I wake up. This doesn't seem to be the most ideal way though, in my opinion. I would have thought Do Not Disturb actually meant "Do Not Disturb", but apparently not completely. Unless I'm missing something.
Any suggestions?

I am using N, and clearly not sure whether MM has this option or not.
Try going to Settings > Sound > Do not disturb > Black visual disturbances
I hope, there you will find what you need.

Thank you for the information - that sounds perfect. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be an option in MM, but at least I know it's coming! Maybe it's time to take the plunge into N. I've been reluctant since it would be on my daily driver, and not sure about stability, etc. Maybe I should just give it a try. Thanks again.

On screen buttons haptic feedback

Hi there
Am I missing something or is there no way to turn off the vibrations when using the on screen buttons? I'm sure on most phones it's under the sound menu....
You weren't wrong; it is in Sounds. Look for the "Vibrate on tap" option in the Other Sounds submenu.

Got it, thanks. I don't really understand why the vibrate on touch option is under "Sounds", let alone hidden away in "Other Sounds" !
I have every setting I can find set to not vibrate and yet it still does. Is there truly no way to make it stop? I would like to find the software equivalent of "snip the wire to the haptic vibrator". Stupid waste of energy.

When is it still vibrating? 3rd party keyboards are common sources of this, they usually default to enabled.

Every time I touch the button. I don't use the fingerprint scanner and use the "one button nav" feature, and that setting is set to not vibrate also. Every time I touch it - lock, unlock, swipe left, right - it vibrates.
