Aahh, before I go insane how can I turn of the stupid key clicks. Haptic feedback is great but key clicks, argh!!. I may have to pay for a divorce if I cant turn them off soon.
I have used android for a long long time and can normally do this stuff in the dark but this fails me. Nowhere can I find to turn it off.... Is this some sick joke from Samsung
BTW, I have a HK model that is a grey import to the UK
settings > sound
ha, you'd think. Nope
I'll post up a screen shot mine has it here.
found it, its in configure input methods. By default the HK import was on DioPen Chinese IME so quick tab to settings had no way to change but once changed to Android keypad I could then turn the damn thing off.

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.

Go to settings - go the sound and display - scroll down to audible touch tones and uncheck that

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?
This is my first Android phone so sorry for the noobish question.
Back on Windows Mobile HTC put in a 4th "sound settings" option called Automatic.
Normal, Vibrate, Silence, Automatic
When in Automatic mode the phone would switch to Vibrate any time you had a scheduled appointment on your calendar. So you didn't have to worry about your "Dancing Queen" ringtone going off when you schedule an important after work meeting because it fell outside the time-frame of some app with limited options.
Does this automatic option exist on the Incredible and I'm missing it.
Or is there an app that sets your phone to vibrate dynamically based on your appointment calendar and not just some simple setting within the app?
I didn't see it at first glance, but I remember this feature! Pretty handy if you forget to silence your phone in a meeting, and all my meetings are synced to my phone's calendar.
I used to use an app called Locale by two-forty am or something, I forgot the developer's name and my phone just died so I can't check. But it looks like it's no longer free although the app still looks very promising. Do a search in Market cause I'm sure there are more that will do the same and are free as well. Also check this video out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzlFlK-1dNY
At about 9:54 the guy in the video talks about a feature on the phone called polite ringer. It can be useful if you forget to mute the phone or if your app for some reason forgets to do it for you. The whole video is very informative as well even if you already know about most of the phone's features. I hope this helps! Good Luck!!
I miss my Omnia and the etiquette mode. Place the phone screen down on a table and it went to vibrate mode.
That is one feature of my ex-iPhone that I really liked...1 click of the switch ad it shut up!!!!
Plus 1. I miss Mobile Shell on my old WinMo. I'm using ToggleSettings now which is free and does a good job with settings changing based on time, but it does nothing based on meetings.
To Funny...
YEAH I miss my Omnia (& touch shell) The screen was so wig giddy whack, which was after a month of use & the dreaded lock screen. Never got a Omnia II because it did not have an optical mouse? I guess my incredible is okay to above average. I hate the aspect ratio of the wallpaper. WTF lolz I wish I could have a wallpaper per each screen or have it re-size to the screen, especially for caller id? Also i'm not terribly fond of the HTC scenes ui it's almost useless.

several apps are out there- FlipSilent, Turn Silent- and they seem to cover customized silencing too!
Auto task keys off the calendar descriptions. There is a ringer silence widget out there too. (Apps)
It seems none of those really tie into calendar. Shh! auto-silencer allows you to setup times where the phone goes silent but it's seems king of hit and miss. Locale looks the best with ton's of options for setting when things are silent, but it's not free.
I think I might try out locale for a couple days. After getting a phone call at 1:30am and not being able to get back to sleep I need something to better manage automatic silent times.
There's another app call "setting profiles" that does what you what. It does basically the same thing as locale minus the plugins. You can set profiles to calendar, time period, schedule period, location and more. It's also a lot cheaper. I think it's $3 compare to $10 for locale. I came from windows mobile as well. This is one thing I really wanted from android. It took me a while to find it. But I think settings profiles takes the cake for its features and price point.
Oh I forgot to add that it comes with a widget where you can place on your homescreen so that you can toggle profiles manually. On the widget, it also lets you set a timer for the profile. For example, when I go to a movie, I can toggle the silent profile for 2 hrs and it will go silent until the time expires. After that it will automatically revert to your default profile.
That's pretty cool. It does do just about everything Locale does except the plugins. The free lite version even does most of the stuff I need it to.
Looking for a way to keep the screen always on.
I run a team in one the support classes at BSB and use the phone for the live timing screens. On the Windows 6.5 phone I had last year it was easy to change this option. Can't find a way to do it in Android and it'll be a pain in the arse if I have to tap the screen every 10 seconds. I'd like it as a toggle switch/widget if possible. Did find an app but they want money for it.
Anyone got any ideas?

You can change the screen timeout in settings to 30mins...
Translated from spanish:
go to Settings - apps - development and there there is an option to keep the screen on.
The development option only works while phone is charging. Had noticed the option to change to 30 mins. But any way to do toggle switch/widget for it?
Cheers
Dazza
Check your PM Dazza
yes , install extended controls widget from market .
has a toggle for keeping screen on / off ,
Sorted thanks to Mano1982!

Anyone elses predictive text disappear on their phone? Had my phone since launch and noticed today my predictive text option along with others such as continuous input are now missing. Checked a buddy's note 5 and he has them in his phone. Tried clearing the data out of the keyboard app and reseting keyboard setting but no luck. I'll attach a screenshot of what my settings look like.

Hey brother, I had the same issue yesterday. You will need to put your phone into safe mode, then you should see the option. Once you see it again, reboot your phone into normal mode.
To put in Safe Mode, Turn off phone. Reboot by holding the power button for a couple seconds. Once you see Samsung on the screen, hold the volume down button until you see Safe Mode in the bottom left of the screen. You should now be able to go into your settings and you'll find the Continuous Input option!!! Then Reboot and you should be good to go!!! :good:
Sweet! Thanks a bunch man.

So after doing this I had to re-enable a few accessibility services and after a while I noticed predictive text was missing again. Long story short it seems like I enabled the optical reader accessibility service and when that is enabled predictive text disappears.

hmm, I didn't lose the predictive text when I enabled the optical reader. I will continue testing.
Not sure if you use it, but if so, do you have any issues with the Direct Call feature?

I know it must be on this board somewhere, I'm having a problem with learned words in my predictive text. Galaxy S7 Edge. On my S5 there was a way to disable learned words, I cannot seem to locate it inside of the keyboard settings on this phone. Please help
I'm having the same problem with my predictive text disappearing. Thanks for the suggestion on rebooting into safe mode it brought it back, but after period of time it disappears again.
It is related to the optical reader setting for me. Turn it off and the predictive bar comes back. The reason why booting into safe mode fixes it, is because safe mode turns off accessibility for all listed apps.
Anyone experiencing this issue, I encourageyou to call Samsung at 800-726-7864 and report it and make them create a trouble ticket. Yeah it will wast a half hour of your time, but maybe it'll get this bug worked out.
Samsung Galaxy S7
Having the optical reader turned on under System / Accessibility causes missing predictive text problem with the Samsung Galaxy S7. Even the tech support staff in the store or on the phone couldn't solve the problem. Nathan's suggestion worked. Thanks.
Now to report this problem to Samsung and my cellular carrier.

I noticed after doing the safe mode method the apps I had enabled under Accessibility>Services (one of which was optical reader) are now "off".
Are you installing "optical reader" from the Galaxy apps store? If so, that's breaking it.
Edit: I see you noticed it in safe mode. That happened to me a while back also.
