Having trouble turning off haptic feedback - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a new Nexus 4. I went to settings>sound>vibrate on touch and unchecked it. Still getting haptic feedback when typing texts. I searched the SMS settings as well as the settings under input and didnt see any haptic feedback options. I've rebooted a few times, its still happening. What am I doing wrong or missing?

Go to settings than under "personal" choose "Language and Input". Now, look for "Android Keyboard" and press the settings on the right of it. From there you can turn off the vibration or haptic feedback.

Thanks. That works if I use the android keyboard, but I prefer swiftkey. Still getting HF when I switch back to swiftkey.

Found it. Swiftkey settings>advanced>Typing Audio&haptic feedback.

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?
Open Keyboard--->long press on ?123 button--->Android keyboard settings--->click off vibrate on keypress

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?

Keyboard Vibrate Issues

Hey guys, quick question about an annoying issue I ran into today. I went to check my email as usual, I went to put in my pin(required as per security settings in my office) only this time the keyboard was vibrating when I typed.
I use the stock sense keyboard so I went into settings for the keyboard and saw that the 'vibrate while typing' checkmark was checked off for some reason. Not a big deal I unchecked it. But it's still vibrating when I type I've tried switching keyboards back and forth but with no success. It continues to vibrate when I type in all programs.
Any ideas guys? I have a rooted DINC on Virtuous v3.1.0.
I haven't used sense in a while but I think I remember there being 2 different places to uncheck vibration. Maybe theres an advanced menu or something. Try pressing the menu button while you're in settings and see if there's more settings.
Settings>Sound Setting and untick Haptic Feedback....maybe thats the problem

I forgot to mention I tried that as well. That turned off the soft keys vibrate like it usually does, but the keyboard was still vibrating. Any other ideas?

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

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...

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.

Haptic feedback

I want to disable the vibrations on the dial pad and the keyboard and to keep the feedback only for the touch keys... how can I do that? everything stock so far
Settings- Sound- Feedback- Disable Haptic feedback.
Regards.
Did that but it also disables the vibration of the 'menu' and 'back' buttons... I want it disabled only for the on screen keyboard

If I'm not wrong Go Contacts can do that for you. IF you really need the stock dial then just accept the faith. No phone can be made to satisfy all it's users.
use a 3rd party keyboard with the ability to turn haptic feedback on/off, for example swiftkey x
I think the gingerbread keyboard from the market may also have that option.
As far as the dialpad, I dont think there is a way with the stock one.

[Q] Vibrate when typing disable

I installed my HTC HD2 with the Sensation XL Rom (See topic:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119). It works perfect but I have this issue.
I went to touch input and text input and disabled "vibrate when typing" . But still it vibrates when typing. Then I found this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660919) which describes to disable vibration in the registry.
My question; does this reg-fix disable all vibration on the phone or just vibration when typing?

this windows reg-fix is useless in a linux environment
I would try disabling the vibrate then if it doesnt work then try rebooting.
