Is there a way to make our physical keyboard make a noise when you type similar to how the touch screen keyboard does?
If you figure this out, I'd like to now too.
This would be cool !!
Why would you want to have a vibration every time you hit a key on your physical keyboard? I mean on the touch screen keyboard it makes a lot of sense by providing you with some kind of kinesthetic feedback the touchscreen is lacking otherwise. This is something I like a lot over the iPhone for example.
But on the physical keyboad you get a direct physical feedback from the keys.
In addition I read, that turning OFF the vibratory feedback is supposed to reduce battery consumption big time. So that might be another reason to not turn it on additionally for the physical keyboard, right?
But as long as you can turn a feature ON and OFF however you like, who cares what anybody does with his phone, eh?
Just my 2 cents...

i think the op mean that he wants the keyboard to play a click noise when he pushes a key on the keyboard. not vibration
I would be very interested in this as well, I feel like there's not enough feedback on the physical keyboard (ridiculous, i know...)

I was wondering if there's any programs out there that make the HD keyboard have haptic feedback.
I know the Omnia has it, so I was wondering if it's also possible (easy?) to add this feature to the HD keyboard.
I second that. I think there must be a regkey somewhere. I found a key for Opera to enable haptic feedback: HKLM\software\Opera\defaults\VibrationEnabled=1
So other programs might need this too to work. Just from the top of my head.

i have never had a chance to play with an omnia.however i was wondering what are the benefits if the keyboard features a haptic feedback? since we still cant really see what key or alphabet we are pressing when using fingers right?does it give the same buzz for any key we press or there is a different feedback with each key?it would be better if there is a program that can make the keys we pressed appear really large that the fingers will not block it for the default htc keyboard.

I don't really mind that so much. What I want is to have some sort of feedback when i press a key on the keyboard. Typing without it just feels a bit awkward.

Thank you very much. Found this myself also after some searching. Next time I'll try not to be so lazy.
I'm positive there's a registry value somewhere that disables it. I don't like it when i have to run programs in the background just to use a feature the device already has. Saves up precious memory, you know?

I posted about a bug with Touch HD on that thread:

What's the efffect of this utility on performance and battery life? Does it slow the system in any way?
Look at bottom of 1st post. There is a volume fix zip file. That may help you out as there was a known issue about the volume keys bug. Can you report back? I don't have y HD yet.

SPB Keyboard is able to give vibration feedback if you press the keys...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256
That app works great on my HD but it vibrates in all windows, not just while typing. The developer is working to create profiles so you can choose when it does and doesn't vibrate.
Hmm, I'm not sure which app it is, but in my remove programs list it's called Kisja & Const Vibration Feedback, in CPU manager it's listed as VOA.exe... I noticed yesterday that any time I touch the screen it shoots VOA.exe up to around 60% of CPU usage. Surely that's not a good idea?
I'm a little worried about removing it as I think last time I did, it gave errors on booting saying VOA.exe could not be found. Anyway, I guess I'll remove it again, has no-one else noticed this?
Dutty's
Dutty's latest rom for the HD does an excellent job with haptic feed-back on the keyboard
This program works on the HD without any problems and will do what you are looking for.

I've see much vids of Desire but none of them reveal the capabilities of the new joystick. What are its functions, is it more close to joystick or a trackpad?
its like the trackball of the other android devices, just optical -> u can slide over it....and if u hold your finger on the optic sensor u can klick with it, somebody said in a video that u'll get hardware feedback when using the optical joy
edit: at 0:30

Yeah I saw that vid. Simple swiping and clicking can be done with touch screen either. A demonstration of more precise operations is needed.

A real joystick or a real trackpad allows much more than swiping and clicking.
For example, you can hold a joystick direction to trigger autorepeat or make really fast movements without taking finger off.
it's an optical trackball, for want of a better term.
In the same way that you get optical mice as opposed to a mouse with a ball in the bottom. The optical trackpad is simply an optical version of the scroll ball... in other words, same functions as the regular scroll ball without the moving parts.

there may be an option to add shortcuts when clicking at home screen......like one tab go to appA two tabs go to appB...dunno some imagination

This is what I want too.
Dont want my big thumbs messing up the whole screen.
I look forward to the optical tracking system. I suppose it may be because I don't play action style games. I'm more of a puzzle/cards kind of guy. There are very few times I play phone games any how.
Actually i can't see the optical version making more sense, than the mechanical.
I personally almost never use it.
I believe its main uses would be as a hardware camera-button (that is, for taking the photo), and to scroll in text when typing.
Yep....Useless....I use my trackball about once every couple of days. Touch here and touch there is much faster... Oh wait I use it whenever I install a new ROM.. Just checking the threads trying to find something.

That's why desire is good, no trackball sticking out! Nice and small button with optical tracking ;-)
Can it be used like the N1 trackball for missed calls and sms??
Blinking lights I mean
Just to answer a couple of questions:
1) There is no notification light on the optical trackpad.
2) I've tried this with the Nesoid emulator and while it works, it's pretty terrible to use for directional control, but maybe OK for any games that require 'swiping' motions.

Hi There,
It does support Multitouch, but it is pretty fiddly, I think because the image of the onscreen d-pad and buttons to not line up exactly on the Desire with Nesoid. I have had more luck with the multitouch using Snesoid, which feels very good! (i.e, in Super Mario All-Stars I can run and jump at the same time)
First, is there any way to enable auto-punctuation when typing a text from the physical keyboard? It's not a deal breaker, just kind of a minor annoyance.
Second, also pertaining to messaging, is there any way to enable sending the message on hitting enter?

As of now there is no way to do both the things you are asking about but i am sure as the time passes,we all be finding new things so hang tight
Haha no worries. I just upgraded from my G1 (I got on day one) running CM 5.0.7, so I'm just missing a few small features.
I can wait 'til root happens here.

if swype is set for text input, auto punctuation doesn't work with the hardware keyboard. you have to turn on 'prediction' in the hardware qwerty options for the punctuation.

First, I downloaded handscent from the market and it allows send on hitting enter and it has a nice pop-up too.
Second, I have the HTC keyboard suggesting on the hard keyboard and it does auto punctuation. Hope this helps.

Haha .. phone is really slacking with the hard keyboard, you always have to click fields to get it to type and this non auto punctuating sucks I mean it use to auto correct i to I and it can't even do that let alone apostrophe's and such
Just tried the htc_ime with auto prediction and spell correct on, on the hard keyboard.. wow, its awesome and just as fast as not having it on.. on the g1 it would make the phone and typing a pain and slower with the hard keyboard. Too bad that you have to have touch keyboard enable for it to work, I like swype better for the virtual keyboard.
excuse my ignorance, but where are the htc_ime settings, the physical keyboard is driving me effing crazy. it was fine on my cliq, did all the auto punctuate and such, it feels like there are no useful settings for the keyboard for the phone.
thanks yous

the keyboard is there but not settings. just like the dragon kb
If your using touch input instead of swype, then just go to settings, language and keyboard, touch input, text input, prediction and spell correction enabled for hardware QWERTY.. then it will auto correct and auto correct very good. The prediction gets kinda annoying but it has to be on. I wish there was a way to get it to work while having swype enabled for the soft keyboard.
Turbo, I have everything checked for hardware qwerty. Maybe ill just wait for root and vanilla 2.1-2.2
Long click on a text field, input method, touch input.. then try
Oh my how we have de-volved.
Buy BetterKeyboard from the market, enable it, go into settings and check off "(experimental) show suggestions for physical keyboard". No device is perfect right out of the box and that's why we're here.
Its so weird that it auto corrects everything in gtalk! Try it out let me know if its only my phone
Okay so the phone autocorrects everything perfectly, other than in the stock messaging app! But gtalk browser and email all get corrected. I also installed handcent and it autocorrects in there! Seems like the stock messaging app will definitely need an update.
is there any on-screen virtual touchpad or trackball that would permanently dock at the bottom of the screen that would move a 'mouse' like pointer or selection area on-screen? with the evo having just a large touch screen, there's no way to 'highlight' things without just pressing it with your finger. Does this make sense?
the touch input htc keyboard has those 4 navigation arrows across the bottom of the keyboard, which i'd love to port to swype too, but the only way to use them is to open the full keyboard, which covers too much of the screen if you aren't typing something.
BTW - did everyone know if you hold down(long press) the menu button, you can toggle the keyboard anywhere you are, not just a text-input box? love it

that, I believe, is actually not what he's talking about. I believe you are looking for something along the lines of Virtual Trackball, version 1.2 is out
NOTE: i believe it requires ROOT, so make sure you're rooted.

If you go all the way through the thread, it is about Virtual Trackball by the end of it. In the end, they wanted Virtual Trackball to use the touch sensitive area on the search button. The developer never really got back to them.
But the OP seems to want something like the CM6 mouse support without actually needing to use a mouse. Admittedly, this would be kind of cool. Ultimately though, you'd be using a portion of the touch input to control a mouse that is simulating using your finger. It's a little redundant seeming.
So, just got my S3 and I am having trouble getting rid of the Hepatic Feedback when touching the keys. For example, I use Ultra Keyboard and every time I use the keys, I get the feedback. Any way to get rid of it?
Thanks!
Try going to Settings--Sound--scroll down to the System section--uncheck haptic feedback.
I haven't used Ultra Keyboard, but if the above doesn't work, you have to go to Settings--scroll down to Personal section--Language and Input, then find your keyboard and hit the settings button next to it. There should be a setting in there as well that controls haptic feedback, but as I mentioned, I haven't used Ultra Keyboard so I couldn't tell you exactly where.

Definition of HEPATIC:

Perhaps lay off the booze for a week?
Forgive me....it was just too much of a softball to resist.
