Stock ICS - Any way to completely Disable Haptic Feedback? - Acer Iconia A500

Basically that. I don't want the phone to vibrate, ever. It's annoying and loud. Hell, When i try to mute the volume, a loud vibration happens. ironic, and annoying.
I just want it off. Any way to do that? I'm not rooted. Running stock ICS. I already turned it off for the keyboard. But it still does it for other things.
Thanks.

Do this: settings->sound-> uncheck Vibrate on touch. BTW, this thread is for tablet not phone

call volume always starts out quiet

Every time I answer the first call of the day, I have to turn up the volume, which is very low. Does it default to low volume from start up?
Also, I frequently put my phone on vibrate with no ringer, then back to full volume ringer throughout the day. This wouldn't have anything to do with call volume, would it? Sometimes mid-day the call volume is back to low.
I use a bluetooth when driving to work, but adjust the call volume on that device, not the phone.
Am I just doing something dumb, here?
Thanks

Stock T-Mobile ROM
That setting you mention only has the choices ring tone, and ring type, which I had on Vibrate AND ring.

ok thanks. This is my first Windows phone. Installing a different ROM seems over my head, unless I can do it on my MAC?

any way to turn off full battery vibrations?

Please help save a life, I'm going to jump off the nearest bridge if my wifes phone wakes me out of a dead sleep vibrating on full charge again. everynight the same thing. Is there anyway to stop it on a stock eclair phone? I could root it but she won't let me change the rom. anyway to do it on the stock system?
How about plugging it in a different room than the one you are sleeping in.
Dude, you must be a light sleeper if the vibration wakes you. I used to get woken up by the sound clip it played, so I renamed the file and no more sound!
But to stop it from vibrating? I don't think there's a way to do that other than tell your wife not to put the phone on vibrate! (what's with women and vibrate? lol)
There's an app in the Market called Silent Toggle Widget. It allows a full silent mode... but now that I think of it, I think Eclair offers full silence already. And I don't know whether it would work anyway.
I'm in the same boat as you. That vibrate would wake me up every damn night. I finally just got in the habit of charging to 100% when I get home, then plugging it in in the bedroom before I brush my teeth. Now the vibrate happens before I get into bed. I know it's not a good solution, but it's the best I've found.
I just now noticed in my Sound settings that there's a "Vibrate" selection that has the option "Never". Does Eclair have that? Maybe that would do it?
Good luck! I feel your pain.

trust me the vibrate is loud, I could have her put it on sound, not an issue, but where is the sound file and how do I get rid of it? assume I would need to root to do that?

you must not be married
is it because it's sitting on a nightstand or dresser? maybe set a sock or something under it.

that may be an option if I can get her to remember that. but then it would never make any vibration if she forgets to change it. thats the only bad thing.

[Q] Volume rocker functions on Froyo

I loved on 2.1 how I could just use the rocker to go from sound, to vibrate, to silent. Is there any way of enabling this on EB13? "vibrate only when not in silent" doesn't give the same effect, as the rocker goes straight from silent to low volume.

This is really annoying. Sometimes I need it to be silent, sometimes I want my phone to just vibrate. But it doesn't seem like that's possible with froyo..

I think one reason for removing it is because it is on the pull down menu now. Personally I like it better there.

Yeah but if you choose only vibrate on silent and then choose silent, it's not really silent is it? It still vibrates...
The reason why it matters to me is because I set my phone on a cradle while at work and I don't need the phone to vibrate because it's loud. I'd rather have it on silent.

If you go to sound settings then vibrate you can set it to "vibrate only when not in silent mode." There will be no vibrate only option, but you will have silent instead, without vibrate. Works through the rocker and notification bar

Right, but then the phone won't vibrate if I have it in my pocket. Stupid I know but it's useful for me...
That is a Android 2.2 feature, not a Samsung or Sprint thing. You can change it in the settings to either be silent and no vibrate or vibrate only. The only way around this is a widget like the previous post said.

Man I see your point now. I apologize I didn't actually test it. You can either have volume and vibrate our volume and silent. That does suck. Glad I don't use silent very often but that is a pain.

If you press volume up on the rocker to enable the ringer, it will vibrate. Unless you simply want vibrate only, and silent (no vib) only, then yes widget is the only option. What you want is not stupid, deleting that feature was stupid

No problem. I just find silent and vibrate separately as being useful. Whenever I'm in a meeting, I'd like my phone to vibrate when it's in my pocket so I know I got a message. But when I'm at my desk, it's annoying to have my phone vibrate whenever I get an email/text. For one, I have gmail open at my desk and 2, I just have the screen come on whenever I get a text so vibrate isn't really necessary.
Oh well, guess I'll explore using a widget. Thanks.

[Q] Ring volume problems

My phone's ring volume is set to full volume. When I receive a call, the phone rings at mid volume, and only when I pick it up does it ring at full volume. See the settings screen below.
How do I disable this? I want the same volume before i pick it up and after I pick it up.
Thanks!
P.S. Currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2, but it was also happening with CM 10.1, and also with stock Android 4.2
Do you have "ascending ring" selected? Maybe it's only coincidence that it's louder when you pick it up.
Or maybe your just imagining the volume increase, because the phone is lying on it's flat backside?
I don't know If I should just delete the thread out of shame, or just admit how stupid I am. Thank you. You nailed it.

How to stop the annoying Vibration when switching to stylus mode?

Is there any Solution? I hate that sound using the tablet in a silent classroom. I turned off all sounds and vibrations, but the switching sound still exists.

I don't know how to do that in android version but in Windows just open device manager and stop the two DRV2604 drivers,then you will get NO vibration after restart.
If you press the pen icon on the screen not on the keyboard it comes up silently.
