Two problems I've been having on froyo. Just addressing them incase anybody else is having the same problems.
1) Haptic on flashed keyboards from rom manager. Mtm blackout and gingerbread don't enable touch vibrate.
2) sms alert won't vibrate. Alert tone is fine, as well as incoming call vibrate, but no sms vibrate.
I am running Dl30 superclean with default theme. Dj05 radio.
Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to post your question threads in General, not Development.

If you are using the messaging app which comes on the rom, to enable vibration upon notification you must do this, at least that is what i had to do.
-go to the messaging app
-press menu button and go to settings
-go to Notification settings
-then under vibrate settings you can change it to always vibrate when notified or only when silent is enabled

Its in development because it has to do with development bugs. Its not an options menu issue. I've played with settings quite a bit now and still haven't been able to get it. Tried flashing the keyboards too.

Then maybe you should have posted your question in the thread that already exists for Froyo. Or another one of the threads that exists for Froyo. There are several of them. Development is not a place to post question threads. I am more than happy to help, but I will not help people who post in the wrong section despite requests from Moderators to NOT do so. Read what imnuts posted, it's very clear.

That needs to be stickied.
Huh. Weird. My haptic works fine. Weird.
Haptic Issue as well
Baseband is DL09 and build is DL30. I'm nonvoodo. I have haptic checked on and I have the phone set as always vibrate. None of that works. The weird thing is, vibrate and haptic did work after the initial update of DL30 and the only thing I have done since then is load Fring to my phone. I uninstalled Fring just to see if something had gone wrong but nadda. Still no haptic and no vibrate. I have also applied ROMs from Sonofskywalker3 to see if those would fix the issue. I have also taken my phone back to stock and still nothing. I'm about to exhange with verizon...Any ideas?
Strangely enough, haptic and vibrating started working again without me adjusting settings or any other attempt to fix it.. The haptic and vibrate worked for about 30mins and stopped working again. My new phone is being shipped.
My issue has to be hardware related, haptic and vibrate stopped working again. Then, after a few hours, I accidently dropped my phone and it landed pretty hard, haptic and vibrate started work again. My replacement phone is in, so I will consider this case closed and solved and unrelated to software.

Hey Guys,
So I've been absolutely loving my htc incredible thus far. However, just recently I wanted to have my phone only vibrate for SMS notifications when I realized it wasn't vibrating at all.
I've been through all the settings of Messaging > Settings > check vibrate and such. Also going to sounds and display > only to find nothing really for vibrate and nothing helped in there. I also have tried turning down to vibrate only and ALSO selecting vibrate mode from holding the power button. BUT NOTHING IS WORKING! I've searched on google and through here and haven't found anything but some fixes for the moto droid with third party apps. I'm thinking this is an android bug.
Any takers? Thanks.
I FOUND THE FIX.
It requires the third party app HOWEVER you don't need to keep it.
Go to the market and download an app called "Sound Manager" by Daniel Roozen.
Once downloaded, launch the app, press menu, go to vibrate settings and there should be two options.
BOTH should be onto vibrate whenever possible. The bottom one was set to don't vibrate and was most likely set by another app I had previously downloaded.
My phone now vibrates when it should be.

You're welcome! I think it's a bug via the software. Please spread the fix! It's helped a lot of people over at android central.
I'd like to add my thanks for sharing this fix too kentoe...cheers mate - wuz starting to do my head in
Everything I could see was ticked to vibrate...dunno which app had caused it to stop but this sorted it. Ta again....
So on every android phone, in the sound settings for ringtone, you can set it so that your notification and ringtone volume is the same (by checking off a little box). I font see this option on the phone and so when I lower my volume it only lowers it for the ringtone, not emails and texts etc. this is ANNOYING. is they're not a setting for this or is it just me?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's extremely annoying, and my biggest issue I've had with the phone so far. Followed closely by no notification LED. Hoping to see fixes for both soon.
Okay, here's how.
As usual, Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone. Now that you have the notification ringtone list open, just press the volume key to adjust.
That's how you manually adjust the notification ringtone, as always. What we're missing is the option always in every other Android OS that allows you to match your notification volume automatically to your ringtone volume, allowing you to adjust everything at once by the hard keys on the outside of the phone. Without that option you bump your ringtone way down, for example to go in a meeting, then one of your notifications goes off full blast.
Okay, I see now. I haven't had an android phone in a month so I'm a bit rusty. Well here's a fix to that then. I can't do anything about it in the settings itself, but go to the market and download "Quick Settings." Open the app and go into volume control. On the top there is a check box for "Use Ringer volume for Notifications." Now it'll work.
That sucks big ones. I'll have to use audio manager till that issue gets fixed. This is why I hate non-stock android phones because manufacturers like htc, motorola, and samsung think they thought of everything but they always end up messing something up

I agree, this is the most annoying thing about the vibrant. (luckily its an easy fix)
Thanks for the suggestion on the "Quick Settings" app
damn, whats up with samsung phones just straight up missing **** that's included in android? I was googling for a way to block calls when I saw that android should be able to take any contact and send their calls straight to voicemail.. NOPE, not on my epic.. now the notification/ringer volume link is missing too?! WTF?
I'm having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.
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 on this phone? The soft key vibration is annoying...
Can't find a setting for it anywhere either
Bump.......
Not possible at this time

doesn't seem like it's 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?

Motorola rushed this phone out to the market and now we wait for an update to disable this...way to go MOTO! Good job!
So after I updated my samsung continuum to 2.2 and putting EC09 my vibration pattern changed. Instead of the two small vibrations it does one long vibration. I'd rather stay with the original pattern.. Is there a way to change it back to the original? Not through apps but through roots or zips?

Which app is the vibration changed in? Messaging notifications, phone calls, another app, what? Is it across the board on all non call notifications? Which rom are you on? is it odexed or deodexed?
It changed on all the apps I download and all of the apps already installed *messaging and calling included* And I'm EC09 Deodexed. It randomly changed the vibration from the two small buzz to one long buzz.

Hmmm. It could be changed back, if you were to hack something in (I believe) services.jar. Dont ask me to do , it, though. That's above my pay grade. To be honest, its been so long since I've been on eclair, that I dont remember what the vibration pattern was. Is there a particular reason you want the double vibration back, or is it just personal preference?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk 2
Hmm.. I've been hearing either framework or service jar but I'll check. And the double vibration I find it better. During work it does an extremely long vibration and it distracts everyone. When I had the double vibrate the vibration was soft and didn't distract anyone.

Check Settings > Sound Settings. Scroll down, there should be an option for Vibration Intensity. I think it was added in when we got 2.2

Hmm.. there's a vibration intensity in the sound settings. but it's for haptic feedback. so only for softkeys and certain UI interactions.. Nothing about mms or phone calls. Vibration stays the same.
