Turnn off touch vibrating???

**Districtmann** · 11-08-2009, 07:15 AM

Just got my first Smart phone - the Eris yesterday. Absolutely love it. One question though. I really would like to turn off the vibrating that occurs whenever I touch the keys at the bottom of the phone - home, menu, back, and search. Is this possible? If it is please let me know! Txs.

**evercleartom** · 11-08-2009, 01:06 PM

I am having the same issue, I cannot find an option to turn it off. It is annoying and makes me want to return it for the Moto. If you find out please let me know! Thanks

**tada1096** · 11-08-2009, 01:14 PM

click menu
then locate & text,
then touch input
then text input
then un check vibrate when typing

that should solve the problem

**evercleartom** · 11-08-2009, 01:29 PM

I did that, It turned off the vibrate when I am typing a text message etc. It still vibrates when you touch - home, menu, back, and search. Also when you dial a phone number.....

Thanks for the help!

This is from HTC tech support -

Unfortunately, there is not a way to disable the haptic feedback of the face keys of the phone. This is built into the OS to let the user know that these buttons have been pressed, whether deliberately or accidentally

Dear HTC tech support - please change your OS....

Maybe something will come up in 2.0, or once the rom is rooted a hack can be done.

LOL... Yea, TWO things here:

1) AND they wonder why people ROOT their phones...

2) People are not Morons.. one of two things.. A) someone forgot something, or B) There was an issue and the easy fix was to leave it like it is... but statements like that ARE moronic.

Just be honest, and tell us what is really going on ....

Not sure if this is still an issue, but with my phone Dinc 2, I go into

Settings
Sound
then Uncheck Vibrate feedback.

This turned off the vibration while pressing the home screen, back, etc. buttons on the bottom.

go to: settings / sound / haptic feedback / uncheck. This will disable the function

**Bethintx1** · 12-18-2011, 06:50 PM

Go to settings
language & keyboard
touch input,
text input
un-check vibrate when typing.

This is the correct way to disable this. haptic feedback is the term used for this, it us feedback from your phone letting you know you just pressed a button. I used an eris for two years

Go to settings,Sound then Haptic feedback at thr bottom and uncheck it and that will take care of the vibration at the bottom of the phone.

You are not even close.

It is under Sound settings. Seriously why do people just make things up.

At the time this question was asked, the Eris was still running Android 1.5, and there was no way to turn off capacitive button haptic feedback. Looking back at the answers in this thread, almost everyone who answered after the Eris received 2.1 gave the proper answer - only one person seemed to mistake the question for asking how to turn off haptic feedback in the on screen keyboard, and gave the proper answer to that.

And, by the way, since it appears that you like to be absolutely correct about answers, the setting is under settings->sound & display->haptic feedback - there is no separate sound settings on the Eris.

On my gs2 if you go into the menu, tap sounds, and unchecked hepatic feedback. It worked for me. No vibration at all

Ok if your looking to turn off the vibration on the keyboard on a typical droid phone please go to settings. language & keyboard. touch input. text input. then scroll down to vibrate when typing. think that will solve the general complaint. if you have any other heptic vibration issues let me know as I hate the heptic vibration feature.

Sorry saw where someone else posted same response sorry for posting again.

On a Droid Eris? No, haptic feedback on the softkeys remains.

You may get better help here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-android-phones/ rather than in this forum, for the Droid Eris, a 3.5 year old phone.

(Also, I believe that the HTC One has Jellybean...)
