It's possible to enable vibration anytime I press the screen?

Hi, I just bought the M2 and I have an important question...
As topic: it's possible to enable vibration anytime I press the screen?

i dont want o know this propouse, but i can make a app that when you touch the screen your app will VIBRATE the phone, but with default settings its not possible, and not right, because M&%!(*blur is starving of battery and if everytime you touch the screen your phone vibrate you will need to carry you phone pluged in a recharge

I mean, vibration tactile feedback...

you have some options at configuration menu, when you press a key from touch keyboard or when you tray to move some icon, but not when you do just a click to open some app

Note: This 'feature' will decrease your battery faster

Alternative way to turn on / wake screen (capacitive buttons / accelerometer)

Hi guys,
Got my Desire HD last Friday and I'm really pleased with it, stunning device. The problem is, I'm using a case which protects the phone nicely and looks decent too but the power button is very tough to press in (let alone without a case TBH). I have Cyangens "Menu Unlock" enabled but I'm wondering if there is a tweak or APK to enable the capacitive buttons when the screen is off so I can turn it on easily (using Button Remapper). Maybe even a shake to enable app to wake the phone. Oh, cover below:
When I had the Galaxy S, I could just wake the screen with the main physical Home button.
When I had the Milestone, there was an APK to allow me to wake the screen with the buttons.
Any help or direction would really be appreciated. Would love to be able to unlock it that easily.
Cheers #auggie2k

Just a quick bump

Buttons will be disabled when phone is asleep. The closest is to try "Tap Tap App" from the Market. Its free. Try and see how it could give you possibilities. Basically, it will allow you to set lock/wake permissions using the proximity sensor.
I use it as an alternative to pressing the power button all the time during shorter phone sleep/wake intervals

Much appreciated Jacob, cheers for the quick reply.

You can try WidgetLocker too, allow you to power up the phone using volume button.

now THAT is a cool idea
but, it would drain the battery...

Its possible without much battery drain I remember using Pocketshield with the HD2 where it unlocks when you flip the phone facedown and up or shake from side to side. Seems they're still hung up on Windows till now... I hope they come around to turn to Android soon

You're welcome mate! Test the proximity settings, I used to use "Easy Detection" but found it too sensitive, it unlocks with short finger waves which was cool but also gets screwed up with strong winds when outdoors... lol
Since, I've changed the setting to "safe mode (default)" and it responds well to 2 mild taps. Hope it works for you too!

only works if u're on stock kernel

try no lock, unlocks it with the volume buttons.

isnt this the same as widget locker, i.e. it works only on stock kernel

Just installed "Tap Tap App", works perfect for me as an alternative unlock/lock. Thanks a lot!

Those settings work perfectly for me too, it makes the phone seem so much more "fancy" and has already spooked my poor iPhone owning friend, lots of WTF's Cheers for the suggestion.

Multiple problems after official froyo update

i successfully updated to froyo from kies. before this i had the stock rom and did not install any custom one
after updating my proximity sensor works when the phone is held vertical in an upright position
but after making a call, if i keep it on the table and close the sensor, the screen doesn't turn off. it should turn off and was working fine in 2.1 for me
can you guys confirm if the sensor turns off even when laid flat on the table?
also, the volume up/down button does not silence the ringtone when i get a call
please reply so that i can confirm whether the problem is with my phone or with the new release.

Not sure about the sensor problem but as far as your second problem is concerned hold the vol down button for a few seconds to mute the ringtone

Proximity Sensor is problematic
Yes The Sensor does'nt seem to be responding towards the end of the call. Just use the home key to light up the screen.

The display screen timeout settings does not automatically turn off even after specified time.this happens very often and need to enable screen timeout settings again and again.

Yes , I am experiencing problem with Swype , it is not responding to aby gesture. I am able to type using swype as regular keypad but not as "swype". I resetted my phone 3-4 times but i wasn't lucky.
So i am using keypad only. Its official DDJP2 FROYO version thpugh its flashed using odin as i was experiencing problem with KIES.

I am experiencing some strange behavior in media and notification sound. while i play some song and want to lock my screen from power button, some glitchy sound is coming, same happening when some messages coming. is anybody experiencing the same. plz try it with headphone attached while playing a song and just lock the screen from power button menu...

Yes....This is happening
This is the worst release by Samsung , as per me....Even on call if you are using headphone, you will hear clicking sound (argh)

Yes the proximity sensor isn't working fine. Screen does not turn on after a call. So I need to press home screen every time.
And long pressing menu button in call log does not enable search bar which happened perfectly in 2.1

For those who r facing the problem silencing the ringtines from vol up down, press power on off button, it shud work.

we do know about pressing the power on/off key but that also switches off the sceen. but volume up/down only silences the ringtone but doesn't switch off screen.

swype doesn't work because languages are not installed. root, delete swype, install swype from official site.

and during a call, if you press volume up/down button to increase/decrease the volume, the voice breaks for a second and you hear a clicking noise.
these problems are seriously irritating me. thinking of going back to 2.1 or some custom ROM is samsung does not release an update fixing these problems.

Few more problems that I had observed....
1. If you open contacts and press back button you won't be going any where
2. Previously I used to connect my phone using bluetooth to my PC (Ubuntu) but now even after turning on my Bluetooth along with visiblity phone is not visible. Once I was lucky and recognized my phone as "V5" though the device name is different.
3. If you try to add pics to the contacts from your gallery the time taken is very long which was not the case with Eclair 2.1
4. Previously with Launcher Pro plus on Eclair I never had to "Force close" any application, but after upgrading to Froyo the first call itself raised a warning for force close. Even after sometime in my other call I couldn't End my call as the screen was not responsive.
After a struggle for One day on latest Firmware I feel that its not that worth to wait this much amount of time for official firmware.

I was experiencing the same problem on the first day, but after that i rooted my phone and installed busybox. from last 2 days did not find that contacts back key problem anymore.. i dont know its a temporary fix and what has fixed it anyway...
but really .. somehow this release is not at all convincing. so sad.

i too feel the same way mate..
can anybody tell me if I5801ZHJPF better that DDJP2?

I have another different problem my battery life is not going above 10 hrs while on 2.1 i used to get 18hrs. Am i missing some setting or what.I am gonna install something else if this **** firmware does not improve in the next update

i think this update was hastily released.
many bugs in it.
if you see the in-built task manager, the "uninstall" button is not even properly designed.
even accelerometer has some problems

the worst bug ever is the camera bug
theres this geo-tagging option..
until you get a fix on ur location camera will force close..
and it cant be disabled at all..
the only way to get around it is to use 3g or disable network mode in 2g..

i saw somewhere that this can be solved by disabling "use wireless network" option in settings->location and security.
not sure though. try it.

+ add one more bug to the list,
the microphone is also not working properly with different applications like Talking Tom or Talking Parrot, previously they used work on 2.1 without any problem or distrubance.
Did anybody also had the same problem?
One good thing with the Froyo update is previously my phone is used to restart unconditionally with the stock firmware (randomly sometimes during call or when Ideal). But till now no such weird behaviour in the current release.

[Q] touchscreen unresponsive

Hi everyone....my beloved HD2s screen has lost the ability to accept touch commands! It started two days ago...slowly at first then more and more often until only restarts got the screen working and now it's just completely unresponsive. Hard buttons work ok but nothing else.
I have had Android running though NAND. I also flashed an original WM6.5 Rom and still nothing.
Anyone else experience this before?
Thanks!

Sounds like digitizer problem.
Just press end call (power) key really hard and hold it for few seconds (digitizer is just underneath it) and the screen should work just fine.

Wow, never heard of such a thing before...honestly I thought you were trolling me until I did a google search! it's worked. Thanks!

Using buttonremapper you can also change any other hard key to the power button. For me, since i launch the phone using the icon on my home screen, i remapped the call key to be power. it works too

My Standby button doesn't work anymore

So out of no where my phones standby button stopped working for me and the only way to use my phone is to plug it into a charger or call It. I can't really but a new phone yet because all of my money lately have been going to bills. I was wondering Is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks for any replies
